HOT TAKE FRIDAY

[OakRiver]

Unless you live in Kandahar, you don't need more than a .22

Some guy in a gun shop told me the phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range is being released this year.

 

[drm-hp]

Handguns:
1873 Colt SSA
1911 Colt Automatic

Rifles:
1898 Mauser
Winchester M70

Shotguns:
Winchester 1912
Browning Auto 5

There were/are many good firearms made, and you could argue for inclusion of several more rifles and shotguns.
The facts are that if developments stopped with these models we would all be well served!

More than half the calibers on the market are duplicitous and useless. It takes away from lower costs and mass production of the calibers we actually need.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

The forward assist on the M-16/AR-15 platform is wrong and all those that like it are wrong.

 

[Winamac]

Any handgun designed after the Colt Single Action is a waste of time.

Don

I happen to own a Colt SAA, and I happen to agree with Don. Don't know Don, but it seems we are like minded. LOL!!

 

[Nazgul]

All you have to do is rack the action and the intruder will run away!

If it is a Ma Deuce this is true.

No! Muyeeee ryyyytts!

A forward assist is just another way to have 'direct impingement'

Ain’t nobody gonna directly impinge on my rights to a forward assist.

 

[Butter.Actual]

If you shoot a Glock "to the left" consistently , the gun is too large for your hands and you would be better suited by a handgun that better suites your particular ergonomic needs.

Putting a $100 optic on a $1000 rifle is not acceptable.

Any gun that needs aftermarket parts to make it "competitive" sucks

Pistol RDS are the future

.40 while not obsolete is not relevant , Sig dropping it and the fact Glock prioritized 9mm guns demonstrates that

Unless it's a "Range Toy" any Vortex pistol Red Dots suck and a Holosun would be 10x better at a similar cost.

Acceptable CCW red dot manufacturers based on the data: Trijicon , Holosun and Leopold in that order. Don't care about country of origin (also apparently Holosun is a US based company so if you have an iPhone you can be ok with Holosun)

I learned something here, and I hate it

Hot take of the day?

Reccessed suppressors are better than normally mounted suppressors, and 1.375" is a better form factor for suppressors than 1.5"

If your 1911 says anything other than Colt on the slide, it's just a replica.

 

[OakRiver]

The Ma Deuce does not have a detachable box magazine, a barrel shroud, a pistol grip, a collapsible stock, or a bayonet lug, therefore it cannot be considered an assault weapon

Even if it is not a 45?

 

[yote hunter]

Handgun: Glock 23 is the best !
Enough said

Rifle : The 270 !
Enough said

 

[Route 45]

Even if it is not a 45?

Even worse. If it's not a 45, it's just an impostor. At least replicas get the caliber right.

Amen, brother!!!!

Ammunition and firearms are the only stable form of currency. Every dollar is worth less than in was the previous day, at an alarmingly increasing rate.

I've told my wife for years they are worth their weight in gold.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Only buy guns in one caliber. That way you can always have enough of the right ammo for any gun you have.
