I would like to make a suggestion to all that use these forums
Please do NOT be a gun snob
Everyone on here has an opinion and is entitled to it to certain degree but ive noticed not only here but other forums as well the constant bashing of gun owners for there firearms of choice its one thing to prefer your firearm over others but to completely bash someone because they chose something other than your favorite is a bit rediculous ive noticed this with all types of firearms whether it be shotguns to rifles or revolvers and auto pistols
take into account that people on here buy what they buy because of personal choice and SOME influence and advice if they choose not to take your advice this does not mean they are inferior or stupid
personaly i find it lacking character and respect to say that someone has bought a "piece of junk" or "garbage gun" just because you personaly prefer something else
I DO find it respectful to state your opinions in a manner that shows your opinions as your preference such as "i dont like (make and model here) because the grips dont fit my hand" or "(such and such model) is a caliber i dont like"
but to out and out state that you bought model X because the model were talking about is complete crap and your an idiot for buying it is outright rude and tasteless especialy after a new gun owner is trying to spread his joy in his or her purchase
on the other hand if someone asks advice before they buy its absolutly fine to inform someone that the model they want may be a faulty or inferior product but dont bash to the point that only YOUR favorite model is there only choice there are hundreds of manufacturers that make quality firearms for various price ranges and purposes so if someone wants a .357 magnum and you say that only brand X is worth your time or money you may want to rethink your words because brand Y and Z could be a good choice too
EVERY manufacturer over the years has made a lemon and no company has a perfect track record for makeing every single gun they produce to be flawless and completely free of problem remember to err is human and i dont see any guns being made by any other creature on the planet
as for the lemons feel free to inform anyone and everyone interested of the exact problem with the firearm i.e. that new model from bobs blast-o-matic has a really big problem with the slide breaking and sending a pound of steel at your forhead so double check them before you buy
but DO NOT say that bobs blast-o-matic firearms are all junk and will kill you if you fire them just because the new model has an issue
above all if it were not for the trials and errors of the firearm industries we would never have inovative new firearms that are better or at minimum a new choice for those that seek something different because lets face it NOTHING that we shoot was built perfect the first time nor was it always known technology at some point someone took a chance and made the guns that you love and someone else said it would never work
thanks for your time just had to get that out
