Gun Gripes

This ^^^^

I dislike being hit by hot brass especially if it gets on my neck, and down my shirt.

I hate when I go to an indoor range and get stuck next to someone shooting a Glock. They have an uncanny knack for ejecting shell casings over the partition and onto my head/down my shirt.

While I’m on the topic of indoor ranges, very few things annoy me as much as the guy shooting his .308 with a muzzle brake on a 25 yard lane.

I buy a gun like a Ruger LCP II and an original model Smith Shield and Sig P365 and a few years later they come out with the version of the gun I wish they had made from the start. In the case of the Sig did buy the newer P365X. And now have a Ruger LCP MAX.

Holsters with pineapple.

Are we going to have to taste the mods again?

First it was pachmayr then hogue…then lok now it’s…oh you said gripes

My bad, carry on!

Private ranges can be over rated. Everyone wants to use yours, but when it comes time to run a brush hog so you can get there, there are no potential range uses in sight …. Let me know when all the upkeep is done so I can come by.

I shoot on a very nice and generous guys land. As a rural guy "trapped in the suburbs" it feels like, and I'm trying not to exaggerate here, a good 1/3 of the benefit of having access is the ability to go there and mow, pick up brass, clean... and generally get to work in the open rural area.

Guys that reply to gun forum threads obviously designed to vent your gripes and post general comments instead. Yeesh, this guy! :-)

Good perspective, Kudos!

I've had sections of my range set up for years. Always some maintenance to do.
As I've expanded it, of course, evermore maintenance.

I think I get as much, if not more, from just being out there doing something, whatever it is.

Wow, that IS nice! I was in a tinkering mood and made these range distance markers last summer. Buried flush with the ground. First pic is before color filling the numbers.

I wanted to make one that said 100 yds (arrow pointing down range) and 24,902 mi (arrow pointing up range) for humor but why invite jokes that promote bad range behavior. :-)

Wow - that is a beautiful set up!

Thank you. Been a long time coming. Still plenty to do.

That kind of nonsense certainly diminishes my entertainment experience.
Ya gonna do a gun movie, ya oughtta know something 'bout guns!

Halyna Hutchins would agree with this post

I see no problem here.


FUDDs complaining about functional innovations are my gripe

Plastic holsters, if it ain’t leather it’s not a holster, it’s a holder.

I do like leather holsters.
Should fantastic plastic handguns go into plastic holsters though?
Leave the leather for all metal handguns?
