I have everything in my collection ranging from Black Powder to NFA items, but the current modern production stuff just doesn't call my interest. Every time I see a new release from a company, it is just another GLOCK clone or another AR-15 for the most part. It is boring..... I have enough ARs to last me a lifetime and I'm setting on over thirty GLOCKs. Seeing another company release a pistol that does exactly what a GLOCK does isn't revolutionary or new or exciting. I'm all for it though, I'm glad that the industry is making what the majority of the consumers want and they're making money. But a striker-fired polymer framed pistol with a RDS is the same, no matter who released it.
It is like driving a 2010 Hyundai Elantra, 2010 Toyota Corolla, or a 2010 Honda Civic. They're all econo-box 4-bangers with ho-hum features. There's really no difference other than price and branding at this point. I feel the modern gun industry is the same. It has settled on a base formula of what the general market mostly wants. Affordable, reliable, and being a striker-fired polymer framed pistol in 9mm or a AR-15 pattern rifle in 5.56x45mm. Everything after that is just someone going through the JC Whitney catalog and slapping on spoilers and decals on the car.
So, I'm circling back and buying guns of yesteryear. More revolvers. more old-school automatics, more "fudd" guns, etc.... Anyone else doing the same?
