Another post got me to thinking about it.
Say a newish guy posts here or on another Internet forum asking for gun advice- I will admit this site is not nearly as bad as many others though.
New guy: hey everybody. I am new to this and looking at a new handgun and want some opinions. I was thinking of getting a (insert lower end gun model here: hi point, sigma, llama, etc) and want to know what others think about it. Please give me your opinions good or bad. Thanks.
37 guys who never even touched that model: Junk, don't waste your money!
Another 37 guys who have "personal experience" with one: my cousin's sister's next door neighbor had one and it was junk.
Another 37 guys who never touched one: I read that is was a piece of crap.
2 guys who have/ had one of the same model: decent for the price, but I would save up and get something a little better especially if you plan on putting more than 100 rounds thru it.
2 more guys who had one: I had one that was nothing but problems, got rid of it as soon as I could.
2 more guys who have one: decent enough to leave behind the truck seat or in the boat, but if your life depends on it, save some more money and get something better.
2 more guys that have one: great buy for the money. I have put at least 200 rounds thru mine and it only jammed a couple times. ( obviously new to guns)
8 sig fanboys: junk, get a sig.
8 HK fanboys: junk, get a hK
17 glock fanboys: everything not a glock is junk.
3 old timers: real guns don't hold more than 6 bullets, get yourself a decent revolver.
Am I missing anyone?
