Dear Firearm Manufacturers,
Do you think you could make these new offerings any sharper? I mean I know folks with sets of kitchen knives that come nowhere as near sharp as these offerings.
Screw the Gunlocks, forget about counting beans, buying your legal teams kids BMWs, braces, or putting them thru College. Quit kissing butt with the Politicians, giving into Gun Control doodads and whatnots.
I mean using a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer can for metallurgy would be a step up in comparison to some of the metals used today. PBR cans used to be made of Steel. Let me spell that S-T-E-E-L. May I suggest - oh hell! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steels
Just whom was the genius that figured out how to sharpen Polymer? Well when you find him/ her ...
I handled some new firearms folks received as gifts. Shotguns, rifles, handguns. <holds right hand up to monitor> See this bandage! I sliced myself but good, butterfly wouldn't work, had to use pressure , quit bleeding - finally- and steristrips , 2x2's and surgical tape is working so far...
NOT to mention all the other places I am nicked, cut, and I even got a hole in my jeans.
Some of these firearms were for kids, new shooters, ladies and even elderly - elderly - elderly folks whom do not have the integumentary system they once had. [That is a $3 term for "skin"].
Now it is understandable to a degree, some sharp spots are going to happen, I can appreciate manufacturing processes. I could accept if someone were out training, were to get nicked and cut. This just handling a new gun and not firing it is totally unacceptable!
In the "old days" ,when Craftsman actually were involved in the manufactuing process, these guys of course had REAL METAL to work with, a firearm did not have a gun lock, because folks knew how to teach folks and therefore folks learned firearm safety. Didn't have the bean counters, legal department, Gun control...
Craftsman would NOT allow a firearm to leave unless it was "right". This included, among other things - not being as sharp as a Scalpel!
Now I will continue to bitch and gripe about these Manufacturing Faults, I will have to continue to suggest to folks to check out a firearm so as they do not hurt themselves in just handling it.
It really sucks to have kids, get cut up and instead of learning about the new gun, they get a lesson in First Aid. I mean First Aid is good...not when you ar e a kid wanting to learn about your new gun!
And you folks wonder why I and others prefer to buy OLDer firearms!
Oops, seems I gotta go change bandages - again!! This one seeping thru.
Regards,
Steve
