The worst Gun(s) you have ever owned.

You're entitled to your opinion. It just isn't a fact. If I can accomplish what I want to accomplish, you can't say that it is the wrong tool for the job.
I wasn't crazy about an AR-15 either. My complaint was not that it didn't have to use it certainly does. This may sound strange but my issue with it was it was too easy. I like rifles that are a little bit of a challenge. When I take it to the range I'd burn up the ammo so fast. The 30-06 a box would last me an hour. That gun was a bit of a challenge it still is and I still love shooting it. But for a dependable ready to go out of the box type thing I get the appeal to an AR-15.
 
Because there are better tools for any job you would accomplish with an AR.

No, you mean there are better tools for you. This is where we have problems. You decide that your opinion is universal, unequivocal fact.

It ain't.
 
Not this bullshit again.
Just the way I see it. The ar is the jack of all trades master of none.

I find it rather funny that every time i say that it upsets so many of you like you are emotionally invested in it as part of your manhood or something.

Too funny.

Not upset at all, just tired of the nonsense. You don’t like ARs. Okay. Your opinion impacts you alone, but you think it applies to everyone.

Because you don't include the part about it being nothing more than your opinion when you're looking to get a rise out of someone. You state your opinion as if it is fact. It ain't. Simple as that.

Where you really run into trouble though, is when you try to back up your opinion and expose...uh...a certain weakness in knowledge.
 
Taurus gets a bad rap I've had two complaints about the several that I've owned. The 1911 is built just out of spec so that you have to purchase parts from Taurus you can't just buy any 1911 parts. And they're picky about magazines if you don't have Taurus magazine it's going to give you more problems.
Wife had a Taurus 908 that she absolutely loved....her only complaint was the slide was a bit stiff for her small hands and wrists; I ended up getting her a Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm EZ slide to replace it.
 
This is the gun that fits my hand perfectly.

You and some Mexican cartel soldier. ;)

I shot a Desert Eagle in Germany at a gasthaus with a firing range in back. It belonged to a friend of mine, and was a .44 Remington Magnum. Very mild recoil.

I think he sees it that way because the media drove him to see it that way.

It's a lightweight relatively powerful easy to carry rifle so whatever you can hunt with that caliber it's probably good for that you just my state need a plug for the magazine.

Well it's always just like an appeal to masculinity with this guy that's all I've ever seen him do on it. I remember talking about using it for hunting and he said to the hunters he knows would laugh at you if you're taking down game with one shot one kill they can laugh.
 
Great...how about we not turn this into a pissing contest and keep it civil

Know anybody I've ever seen own one of these is just too big for their hands. Over the last time I went to the range I saw these two guys firing this thing.

They were holding on to it doing the Weaver stance like trying to lean up against poles and stuff.

Yeah that's the fellas I saw at the range they asked me to shoot it I'm a tall man too. I told him I'd fire it three times. Because the gun fits my hand so well I one handed it. For a 50 cal I didn't kick as hard as I was expecting but it did help with the gun was heavy. Forward heavy too. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it doing that but it was more about being a giant.

They make five round magazines.

Unless something is really really simplistic, somebody else can always think of a "better tool". I field dress a deer with a $50 Buck knife, and somebody says, "Oh no! You really need a $500 custom made Sharpenforever!" Yeah yeah.

Personally, I think a broom is a superior tool to remove a snake from a wooden deck, as compared to a shotgun.
 
Bersa, a Beretta knockoff. I bought a .380 in my early 20s because it was cheap.

Well, there was a reason it was cheap. It was reasonably accurate but the DA trigger was rough, and the darn safety broke off, just snapped one day for no reason.
Sold it to a gunstore for what I could get and never bought another.

You havent even tried to refute my chatacterization of it as a jack of all trades master of none.

Quote me saying it applies to everyone.

I ll wait

Or are you going to keep up the fiction that i said it applied to everyone?
 
I have had more than a few duds in my life, but hands down one of the worst pistols I have ever owned was a KelTec PF9....failure to feed, failure to extract, inaccurate beyond 20 feet, and a general Jam-o-matic no matter how much work I had done on it.
I originally bought it new with the intent to use it as a BUG because it was so light and compact; my first KelTec and my last KelTec.

I'm not thrilled with my Taurus because it doesn't have a safety and it's the first gun I've ever had that didn't.
But it's pretty good.
My former Makarov had a safety but it was extremely hair-trigger.

My little Bersa .22 isn't really a knock off of anything, but it strongly resembles a Walther PPK/S. It's the second one I've owned. The first was way back when they were first being imported. That one was a single action semi-auto. It was much less fussy about ammo than the one I own now.
 
I had a little Italian made 20 gauge O/U. I bought it when I first started messing around shooting trap informally at a local club. It was real pretty, real trim, lightweight and well made....and literally beat the shit out of me in the course of a couple boxes of shells. I had it at that club one night and there was a guy there with a Remington Peerless O/U 12 gauge. He let me try it, and I ended up buying it from him. Ran my first 25 straight with it.
 
Likely.

I've seen people take them with no magazine at all they just put a dummy in there and drop around in the chamber like you would a single shot rifle.

But yeah the mythology that follows AR-15s and within a certain cohort is always fascinating to me.
Unless something is really really simplistic, somebody else can always think of a "better tool".
That's true one of my favorite tools outside of the realm of shooting is in angle grinder terrifying but handy and I swear by the cordless ones I just can't stand dealing with electrical wires. It's always have people telling me that I'm nothing but a pack mule for batteries. Some people like the corded ones I'm the kind that likes the cordless.

I think a lot of times when people do this they like to splurge on an item such as a knife and they use the concept of needing it to justify its purchase. When is simple $40 tool will do the trick just fine. You don't have to justify buying a $500 to me that's what you want and you can afford it go for it.
Personally, I think a broom is a superior tool to remove a snake from a wooden deck, as compared to a shotgun.
Indeed. In my experience just stumping around on the deck maybe waving something over the top of the snake makes the flea pretty quick

Huh I thought it was a Walther PPK knock off.

When I first started looking for a pistol there about 130 new so it was tempting. But all my gun advisor has told me you get what you pay for.

I think you guys defend the jack of all trades master of none pos weapon because the media drove you to see defending it as owning the libs.

Fact is people that are serious hunters, etc know that the AR may be versatile but it is never the best tool for the job

This wrench is versatile, but you dont see serious mechanics using them.
