I still refer to magazines as "clips" on occasion. I don't normally finish the whole word, though. I usually get to cli- before I correct myself.

I told my wife her .40 Sigma was too much gun for her.So she took my Bersa 9 and said "this is just right". Oh,and she still kept her Sigma,too.

At the range, I find the clip thing coming up quite a bit. Like nails on a chalk board to me. I dont correct anyone, but I do use the correct terminology.

I sometimes call rounds cartridges, while correct, its stupid old fashioned! Wilson mags (1911) are still Wilson Rogers mags to me (and I aint that old yet!). I find myself wanting a machine rifle, instead of an assault rifle. I type bullets as BOOLITS.

Of course, who can forget the gem: Well I got a Glock .40 because it is 31 times better than 9!

The clip thing seems to crop up now and then.

Although one of the dumbest things I've read from a reputable source was American Rifleman once said that USP stood for "Universal Service Pistol"

"It's not loaded."

The clip thing is something that rubbed off on me from my dad.


The USP thing is pretty common too.

When I bought my first gun in Indiana, I asked the dealer if the waiting period was one or two weeks. That was the Kalifornian in me. I very quickly learned that Indiana is a free state, unlike the Socialist Kingdom of Kalifornia.

I asked the same question (having just moved here from New York). When he told me I could take the pistol home that afternoon, I was shocked. The clerk then said something I will always remember... "Welcome to America"

"I'll sell ya this gun...."

"It's just a flesh wound, you'll be fine."

Sometimes, you just blow the call. Live and learn.

 

[XDs4me]

No I think I'll pass.. I already have enough guns.

 

[SavageEagle]

Ima dumbass period so I say a lot of stupid things. Just best to ignore me completely. I'm sure most of the forum can agree to that. Why my rep is so high is beyond me.

Called a .338 lapua, a .338 Leupold...... And it was to a guy who shoots the Lupua with a Leupold optic.... Not my brightest moment in my 21 years... Then again I am only 21, so I have some more time to screw up worse.

USP stood for "Universal Service Pistol"

It doesn't? I guess you learn something every day.
