Love 'em in fact. No I wouldn't carry one as a SD weapon (I carry a Kel-Tec P3AT concealed in town, and a Sig P229 openly in the woods) and I wouldn't enter a marksmanship competition with one, but I like shooting them just the same. I'm fairly new here, so I don't know if this subject has been brought up before, and if it has, I apologize, but I am wondering who else has a love for these cheap guns. I have read a few threads where people defended SNS as a good alternative for the poor, but I am wondering if anybody out there actually LIKES them. When I see a J-22 for $20 on Gunbroker, I get excited. how 'bout you? I love my Sig, but I get a lot more enjoyment out of my Ravens than anything else I own. I like to hear them go "Bang" and watch the sparks fly out of the barrel. Sometimes I even hit what I'm aiming at. with proper care and ammo, Most of these guns can be quite reliable and reasonably accurate. I particularly like the "ring of fire" guns, but any cheap, pot-metal gun piques my interest. RG gets me all worked up, where Glock doesn't (would I choose an RG over a Glock in a SD situation? Of course not!, but this isn't about SD, It's about having fun shooting cheap-ass guns). Feel free to attack the cheap guns I've mentioned, and to question my knowledge of guns in general. I know very little about guns, other than that I like them, in fact I recently made an ass out of myself on this very forum declaring that my Sig was Stainless (it is) and polymer (it's not), and had to be corrected by a senior member (I had to go look at my own gun to see) regarding my error. All I know is I like Guns. And With $1000, I can buy 1 1911, or 20 zinc cheapos, and I'll have lots more fun shooting the cheapos. Anybody else?
