Calling a .45 Colt a .45 Long Colt...this bugs the shit outta me.

"We must do something about _____ !"
(Usually the current day's topic of liberal panic and condescending self-righteousness.)

Ok, like what?
Make some kind of suggestion, give me some kind of coherent idea.
Because if you leave it up to me, you aren't gonna like my solution.

You mean, like this Combat Vet who is "pro 2nd Ammendment" but believes "something has to be done"?

^^^^^ Oh SNAP!

I have $2500, what AR should I buy.
Help me spend my money.
M-loc or Key-mod.

Yeah, that one gets me all the time.

Ouch. Kinda like 'Springfield' is to me, I suppose.

Seeing all these now prohibited terms, I find I can no longer talk about firearms.

People who say “running” that look like they never ran once in their life.

Not gun related but people who say “winner winner chicken dinner” should accidentally be killed on purpose.

"CLIP" Picked up a gun from my FFL of all people, who asked me how many round clip this was!!!

Others that annoy:

"Class"
"Training"
"Guys who let there weapon fail, because it's not tactical to clean it"

Since this hit Page 3, I'll break the rul(e)s and chime in on another couple, both used by (annoying) customers in the past couple of days:

"Boringly" then followed by an attribute, like 'reliable' or 'accurate'. How the hell can a good thing be boring? Would the person saying this rather their gun choke and stovepipe and go 'BOOM' instead?

"Glock killer". Really? Funny how advocates of each new comer seems to claim to put Glock's proverbial foot into its grave. And yet Glock continues to do quite well. Confounding that Gaston & Co. still ain't dead yet. Dunno...maybe it's because Glock is some sort of millipede, and that's why they haven't run out of feet yet.

(Edited for spelling and grammar, just 'cause it bugs me. Must've been pretty grumpy when writin' this last night. Or the scotch hadn't worn off. It's all a haze now...)

Same here.

- Folks who already bought their guns, took them home, and then went online to ask about "value". People, the time to inquire about value is before, not after you already bought the damn thing. I have a couple of theories about why they do this, but it doesn't matter. It's annoying just the same.

- Not strictly related to guns & ammo, but, the "Meh" is getting to me. It used to be not bothersome, but the more I see it, the more irritating it gets.


This thread topic used to be a 15-page deal a few years ago, even without the "rule". What happened to everybody?

"They Said"

Who the hell is "they".

It hurts to stick to one, there are so MANY. But just for something strictly technical:
bore diameter.

They are who we are not

"Game Changer" -- Like Glock Killer, a dumb phrase usually used well before the sayer has even handled, much less shot or owned said product.

"EDC rotation" -- EDC is by definition, Every Day Carry.

Not Some Day Carry, not Rotational Day Carry.

Every Day Carry.

^^^^ They should come up with the new phrase, EDR.

Every Day Carry.

By"rotation", are you guys spinning your carry guns on your index finger?

Sometimes, it depends on (1) a person's mood and (2) how the gun is feeling.

A gun in the safe becomes over time. It wants to be out and used, in a holster or even at the RANGE.

And SWMBO aka the Ball & Chain doesn't know about the secret gun lust you have for them all, so it's like cheating but you can't get caught.

People who misunderstand the definition of "alliterative."


By the way, I'm truly impressed with the subtlety of this thread; almost every post had me smiling, chuckling, or occasionally laughing out loud. Well done, collective hive!
