There is something, "je ne sais quo" about the ROA. I started years ago with every type of go-fast automatic nuclear launch platform I could get my hands on. I have an original Automag I bought new. It is not what one would call overly reliable. I have had them all and still have most of them. I'm sure my grandson will love me more once I'm dead.
Anyway, the only thing I actively shoot anymore is my ROA. I tweak and tune and try this and that. In the age of the polymer 15 shot, red dot reflex sighted fire-hose, I choose not to participate.
I'm afraid I don't think of guns as pertaining to personal defense. They're mechanical history to me, like my cars. My wife's car is transportation. My cars are for driving and tweaking, tuning and trying this and that.
Yes, that boy will love me lots more once I'm dead...rifles, pistols, fast cars and motorcycles. I'm sure his mother will hate me..heh, heh. Oh, alright. I'll leave her the house...whiner.
