Two incidents in the last two days have really brought up a contrast between Sigforum members and the public at large, and on other forums.

I was working in the gun shop yesterday. A regular customer's tax stamp had come in, and the manager was giving him his suppressor, and supplying him with the pistons, etc he would need to use the equipment on the various guns he bought it for. The customer is a stone rookie at suppressors, so it took a while. Another customer wanted to see the manager and was quite impatient, quietly but rudely cursing the "newby" out, so only I could hear, for his ignorance. I eventually was able to distract the disgruntled customer, but I really lost respect for the guy.

This morning I was having problems loading some 365 mags, so I googled the problem and ended up on another forum. The answers other people, members there, were rude and insulting, apparently designed to make the guy asking the question feel stupid.

I really appreciate that, on this forum, I never see anyone treating another member disrespectfully or with contempt.

Y'all are great. Thanks!

BTW, the mag loading tool Beretta including with the APX worked great on the 365 mags.

That’s how para raised us!

You are right in what you post. Truth, knowledge, understanding & help can be found here.

IIRC a member here had a signature that summed it up; "SigForum, for all your needs."

Finest board on the net. I come here for news, advice from genuine experts and gun talk. Thanks to Parabellum for allowing us to come to this place. Regards 18DAI

Agreed. It’s a rare thing where I see outright rudeness here, and if so, it’s usually premeditated.

I abandoned another forum a couple of years ago. Not only were some of the members like you describe, there was an undertone of white supremacist leanings. While the moderator(s) made statements that the behavior would not be tolerated, they were feckless.

I came here and never looked back!

Yup!!!

I think that's me!

Great story, Fred and so true as we've all come to know.
