Quote HistoryQuoted: Piston driven - DI is lighter, more accurate, and more reliable CNC - Marketing gimmick, practically everything is CNC nowadays MPI - Almost meaningless unless you know the rejection criteria and detection rate Billet - Actually inferior to forgings but cost more so must be betta! Spiral fluting - Rigidity of a pencil barrel with 2x the weight. Benefits of head dissipation is practically worthless and pushed for idiots to eat up Carbon fiber barrels - If you think they dissipate heat better, you are a gullible idiot. Also prone to stringing due to differences in coefficient of thermal expansion between CF and steel. Delamination is an issue at higher temps Preach! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just trying to understand your POV here, but you think hearing safe is overrated? I know that the sonic cracks are loud as hell but it certainly makes it not as traumatic when shooting indoors to defend house and home. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Suppressors. Cool with actual subs and sometimes worth it depending on the application, but way over-rated for most uses. Good, but over-rated, just like the movie Tombstone. Let the hate flow...  Just trying to understand your POV here, but you think hearing safe is overrated? I know that the sonic cracks are loud as hell but it certainly makes it not as traumatic when shooting indoors to defend house and home. That sounds like one of those applications for which it is worth it. |

Binary triggers.
Waste of ammo, hard to shoot accurately, still not as fun as full auto. The BAD lever or anything else that goes inside the trigger guard where it has no business being. Gun control. Seriously, can we finally admit that prohibition of an item doesn't stop crime. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That sounds like one of those applications for which it is worth it. Suppress all the things. HD, hunting, plinking, matches, combat, no real reason not to. Sometimes brakes/comps work better than silencers for reducing recoil and muzzle climb, as well as having the opportunity to wear ear pro in a sport shooting event does make them lose appeal to that scenario. No way I’m hunting big game unsuppressed. Always have a silencer on the go-to rifle. Apparently the shotgun cans still work. Eventually I’d like to get one, namely for hunting. The scatterpew is not my first choice in social applications, so I don’t really worry about it. Precision shooting is far more enjoyable in quiet mode too. Probably even more so when using a magnum that you’d want double ears for. My neighbors appreciate my plinking with a can, so does the wife and pets when they’re inside. ETA: the only thing that isn’t practical is actually carrying a suppressed handgun. Although I have been known to do it, just to be an asshole/attention-whore. I do deer hunt with one as well. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Grip zone Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that they have helped to reduce some of the complexity and uncertainty of a gunfight by explicitly telling me where to place my hands ... but, I'm just not sure Grip Zone is all it's cracked up to be. Look, I don't do IDPA matches or stuff like that, so I don't have any quantitative basis for this judgement. It's just a feeling. YMMV. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You do realize that being right is also a big deal for you as well, you refuse to give up when repelled each time. You seem to have a value on $20 of parts that I don't and this bothers you inexplicably. You pointed out your own ignorance on said subject, my logic was and still is sound. You superimposed yourself into me, that is not experience that trumps my own, that is you trying to trump my own experience using yourself as an example without opening your eyes that this isn't black or white. What I can't have is your way or the highway of thinking. I am not trying to bend anyone's will, you are trying to bend my will to yours. Do I want to you to do things my way? No, I do not. But you seem keen on getting me to change POV's to yours without understanding the whole story. Your own ego is the issue for you keep pressing the issue while I have none and will continue to defend my position when another ego is attacking me. I can handle disagreements, what I can't handle is people like you who cannot handle anyone that is not liking what they like. My lists are not logical fallacies either, and you're making a mountain over a ten dollar fucking charging handle and an eight dollar MD that isn't effective for me. You're the one who's being petty, you have no position to lecture me on anything when your own stance stinks to high heaven. And I'd have a better day if you would just grow up and agree to disagree and let me be.

Striker vs hammer fired.
This is more of a preference than anything else, but some dudes act as though strikers are somehow technologically superior. The whole bore axis thing is overblown as well. |

There is a lot of conventional wisdom that is BS.
I do think however, that there is a reason most PH’s in Africa won’t take you dangerous game hunting in Africa with a push feed rifle. Plains game, fine, I have a push feed 30-06 that the PH I hunt with lives when I bring. The Dangerous stuff requires a controlled feed rifle though. Controlled feed has its drawbacks though, in order to have a round in the chamber and a full magazine on my DG rifle, I have to pop the floor plate and bottom load. |

Sub-Micro-Compact Carry Guns like the Glock 43 / Sig 365 / SA Hellcat.
If you cannot conceal a Glock 26 then you're doing something wrong, and need to start dressing the part. NOBODY wants to see you in a speedo. I giggle every time I read a thread about how much better a slimline carries than a "relic" like a Glock 26 or "GIANT" gun like a HK P30SK. You all need to stop. You're either showing your youthfully blissful ignorance or laziness. 1/4" of an inch of width and 3 ounces? Really? That makes the world rotate for you? Maybe a vat of pepper spray would fit in your purse better
