People tend to forget the only reason they have a job is because of the customer, and how they are treated usually determines whether they vote with their feet and wallet.
Forgetting the customer is the only reason you have a job, may be the reason it is only part time.
Can’t say that I have a pet peeve that gets under my skin. But when people exaggerate about what they can do with their guns, just makes me shake my head. Like the guy at the local gun shop that told me that the 300 Blackout was the best caliber for hog hunting. He told me that he kills hogs at 300 yards using subsonic ammo with his suppressed AR15. And that he does this all the time.
I believe M1 Garands are one of the few that actually use a "Magazine Clip".I'm doing the American Legion Honor Guard thing for a Veteran's funeral tomorrow morning. I hope no one says "magazine" when we're loading clips filled with blanks into our M-1 Garands.
I've got a buddy that does the same thing... Right up until my "old timey junk" outshoots his "newfangled plastic"!!I have a very good friend who spent a good portion of his adult life enlisted as a marine. He is very familiar and proficient with modern weapons and an all around great guy. He scoffs at revolvers and lever actions though, drives me a little nuts. The guy won't even shoot either one, I get it- he likes what he likes. I was pretty proud of the freedom arms revolver I got early this year, when I showed him, he glanced at it from 5 feet away, made a noise and asked why I keep spending money on old timely junk. I had to tell him how it is...
Just an example, but those types who won't even acknowledge anything other than ultra tacticool as "real guns".
That's my pet peeve .
-at this point my buddy does it specially just to get me wrapped around the axle, he finds it hilarious ....

Please don't overcomplicate it. Next question will be "magazine clip? Is it sort of an extra large paper clip? Or more like a chip clip?"I believe M1 Garands are one of the few that actually use a "Magazine Clip".
Gun guys who take themselves and everything else too seriously... It's really not that serious or big of a deal... I tend to agree with danez71.Doesn't bother me.
Neither do things like carbine vs rifle.

People that call the firing pin safety in a Kimber II 1911 a "Schwartz" firing pin safety.
The inventor's name was "Swartz". It is a "Swartz" firing pin safety. The excuse of "well, I just spell it the way it is pronounced", is also lame.
My favorite is how everytime a tv/movie character pulls out a Glock, they feel the need to add a "hammer being cocked" sound effect.In a word "Hollywood".
Almost impossible to watch any movie,tv show,news program,any and everytime they feel the need to mention or show a firearm = they do it WRONG !.
Either finger on the trigger,wrong caliber for that gun,hammer down on a FIRING 1911,gun locked back [ empty ] and still shooting,the list is a great deal longer.
And the truly annoying part is,they HIRED and have on staff a "expert" who I am sure told them the proper way to use a firearm.
OH and do not forget that ALL who use a gun,MUST keep it up near their face so the gun is in the same frame as their face !!
Rant off !.
Yep, and every knife goes "shingggg".My favorite is how everytime a tv/movie character pulls out a Glock, they feel the need to add a "hammer being cocked" sound effect.

Yeah but semantics do matter. I use it as part of a gauge. It helps tell the difference between a person who is culturally gun fluent, and somebody who may be a fuddMeh. Loose terminology (such as using "clip" when "magazine" is meant) is the least of our worries.

It’s part of a gauge, not the whole gauge.LOL being pedantic about something as fluid as slang may make someone a fuddy-duddy but it doesn’t make them a fudd.
