Well I firmly believe in gun fit to shooter
as most of you know by now.
I really really do not wish to speak negative any firearm. If there is a safety problem , design flaw that causes a reliabilty or safety concern - well I feel it is my responsibilty to speak up, share or ask questions.
I would appreciate - I do appreciate it when folks share experiences , give suggestions or voice concerns.
The fact is some guns don't like me. I keep trying, but they refuse to cooperate. Hey I touch a perfectly fine Glock NIB and I open box and the sights have fallen off. I watch a guy shoot 4 mags through his Glock, and asked to shoot it...it breaks. Ok, I can take a hint.
So maybe I keep getting to beta 1187's or they as a whole hate me.
I watch a guy shoot an 1187, I mean weak sided, limp wristed, ever which way and the gun runs. I watch his wife run the gun, no problem. My gunsmith runs the gun no problem. The lady asks if I want to shoot it. I politely decline. Husband insists...gunsmith buddy cringes...He inspects the gun, everthing looks good.
I run 8 rds and the extractor breaks. Gunsmith is keeping a list of guns I ain't supposed to touch, shoot, or look at.
I take the 1100 which is grungy, has rust, left in a storage bldg, he needs to fix...wouldn't fire for him. He tried to load one and bolt barely closed, he helped it along and pulled trigger - nada.
I grab this rusty, grungy with fouling, mold on stock gun rack bolt 3 times, load mag, one in breech hit it and I keep shooting with stuff and rust working loose.
If all hell breaks loose, don't toss me a 1187 or Glock...unless you don't like me.
Now if trying to convince signifigant other you need another set of guns besides Glocks and 1187's , let me shoot them...she will let you buy that Beretta or 1911, or...or whatever it is you want.
Beretta Shotguns I like, nice guns and they run for me. I've great sucess with all starting with the 302 and 303 model years. I really like these oldies..new ones are great guns and they fit me.
Yeah well...got folks that don't like me either, regular folks, family, politicians you name it...includes some women folk...oh well...
Maybe that old gal nicknamed me Lobo for a reason so many years ago...she just didn't realize it at the time.
