Does anybody else ever grow weary of all the gun bashing that tends to pop up all over the place on gun forums? In the interest of full disclosure, I might have taken a few shots myself over the years.
Granted, there are some cheap guns that we might hate to see people buy and stake their lives on, but generally, if a person maintains a gun, practices with it, and makes sure it works with the magazines and/or ammo they'll be using in it, they're probably okay.
Maybe it's because I've had long-term, equally steamy love affairs with single action revolvers, the Glock, the 1911, and double action revolvers that makes me more aware of the battles. They are ALL good!
I've seen people who can't shoot ANY of them well, and I've seen people who can shoot all of them well. I know you have, too. I also see folks who think the more expensive gun or the prettier gun just has to be better for the task. If this were the case, Glocks would never leave the display case, of course.
Don't get me wrong; I do love a pretty gun. Thinking seriously about an Ed Brown Kobra Carry as I write this.
Anyway, just some random, redundant thoughts on the subject.
