Sharpshooter
I’ve been following the thread on stupidest things people have heard in gun stores and was dying to make this post, but I realized it was more of a pet peeve than stupidity. I thought a thread on pet peeves might be interesting and generate discussion.
Personally, my biggest pet peeve is the gun store employee that pushes J frame or similarly sized .38s on new shooters (usually women). It’s always the same pitch; “you can just throw it in your purse, it has all the stopping power you’ll need, you don’t have to worry about it jamming, etc.” I just bite my tongue and resist the urge to voice a rebuttal. Now, I appreciate the usefulness of a snub nose revolver and own some myself, but I think they’re misrepresented and I don’t feel it’s a beginner’s gun.
Anyway, what are your pet peeves?
