I carry a revolver with wood stocks. I have two rifles and they're both bolt-action, blued, and have walnut stocks. The last semi-automatic anything I had was a .22LR and I sold it. I feel secure in semi-anonymously confiding this in you my internet friends, but I really don't want anyone else to find out. Is there anything I can do about this? When I go to the store to look at autoloaders, I like: a 1911. Is there any hope for me? Is there something I can acquire to hide my Fuddness? Do I have to spend as much as a SCAR, MPX Rattler, MP5 or an NFA accessory? What's the blackest black gun I can get?
When I look at AR's, I'm kind of more attracted to Mini-14's. That's why I know I need your help. I reload for 6.5 Grendel and I have a thousand cases and a progressive setup for it. I was reading the recent thread on "AR ignorance" and got some ideas from there. It looks like the AK market for Grendel is still nascent with what Vepr and Zastava maybe? Suppose I get a 7.62x39 AK like a Century pistol, or better an Aresenal or Rifle Dynamics. Does that even get me more anti-Fudd points than an AR? What about an Benelli M4?
If I had a rifle or shotgun, I would shoot it for sure. Range trips cost me nothing other than what I shoot and I go more than once a week. But off the range, a black rifle would just sit in my safe. Am I better off with a pistol for carry? Glock, CZ, M&P, XDM, P320, FN9 or Five7? Are any of these even less Fuddly than the others?
I know what you'll say. That a Fudd is more about what one believes than what he owns or uses. But if I just mentally assent that it's "ok" for other people to have black guns, is that really enough?
