I hope you find this clear and descriptive terminology to be useful in using and discussing firearms. Or at the very least, you find it as amusing as I do. Ak= any long gun Glock= any handgun 9=any hsndgun |

Moonlighted a bit as "extra eyes" in a gun shop. Wasn't a bad neighborhood, but people have sticky fingers. One day, dude walks in looking for a "box of 9 pills". We could tell he was gangsta. Gold chains, gold grill, LL Cool J look. They told him we were out, and he left.
Boom tube was a 12GA. Da Mini was a Mini 14 Da Mini 30 was the x39 version Throw down was a Lorcin or a Raven Pocket Rocket was a .25 ACP |

Only have guys that don't know the difference between a clip and a magazine. Keep asking for a clip for their Glock.

I have no idea, I'm so confused by this one also Why are you and I the only ones who seem to be wondering this? Did something recently happen in the revolver world and we missed it?? Dipshit doctor brings his wife in for an evening concealed carry class. He beelines got the revolvers and begins exploding to her the reasons why she, as a new, female shooter, NEEDS a snubnose 38. I put it in her hands and he points out to her that it’s so simple, even she will be able to operate it, look, it doesn’t have a trigger! while featuring somewhere towards the middle of the gun. Sensing that hubby is not burdened with an over-abundance of brains, I explain that the gun does indeed have a trigger, and I show her the basic operation. Then I explain how her husband is making a terrible suggestion because the sight radius is tiny so it’ll be difficult to be accurate, the grip is tiny so there’s not much to hold onto, the recoil for such a light gun is going to be difficult for a new shooter to handle, and it only holds five rounds, so if she misses, or there are multiple attackers, she’ll be fumbling to reload it. I show her Sigs, Smiths, Glocks, and Walthers, all of which she likes and handles better. Hubby follows her into the CCW, unpaid to “audit” it and “help out the instructor with a few of the finer points.” When they come back out, he drags her over to the revolvers again, and insists she gets a “gun without a trigger.” I reiterate again that her husband is egregiously wrong, all guns have triggers, and a pocket 38 is a terrible situation for all the reasons mentioned previously, and i remind her of all the reasons she liked the bigger semi autos. I’m really twisting the knife this time, just for his benefit. They leave without buying anything. I’d rather lose a sale than sell her a 38 that she hates and she doesn’t want to shoot. I’ll sell more guns, but I have an unreasonable vendetta against dumbasses that force pink 38 Airweights on unsuspecting new female shooters. |

I hope you find this clear and descriptive terminology to be useful in using and discussing firearms. Or at the very least, you find it as amusing as I do. The only one of those I've heard was chopper but I REALLY like "Cinnabon" ... I'm going to start using that one. Quoted: Da Beemz = laser sight Extendo = Extended magazine of all types DeuceDeuce = .22 DEAGLE! = Desert Eagle Yo Dawg you got any choppahs with da beemz and extendos? I've heard of all of those in those contexts. I even used to own a Deagle (and called it that, because fuck you... I got a Deagle!) Nice conversation piece and good fun but very impractical and over the top. I've heard "Heater" too used for just "gun". There was a cheap jennings/lorcin style 22LR back in the day called a "Double Deuce" ... maybe that's where the name deuce-deuce comes from.  |

I’m to the point that the only time I ask for clarification about a “clip” for any firearm is when it’s an SKS.

Shooters always kind of had an attitude every time I went there, like they were bothered to have a customer. Shorty's has/had stupid prices. |

I told her if George Clooney talked like that I’d deny him too. She called me a racist again. I told her we had many satisfied African American customers. She screeched that only records use the term African American, and then hung up. I guess I will have to supply alternative terminology then. |
