So he calls me, says, "Hey, I was looking at the ForjasTaurus website, and in Brazil, you can get a GX4 in .38!". I said, "You mean .38 Super?". "What is .38 Super?". I explaned to him what it was, and that it was highly doubtful a GX4 would be in .38spl. He was very disappointed. This is a repeat of his calling me a few years ago, excited that the Sig P229 was available in .357 Sig. I had to explain that .357 Sig and .357 Magnum are totally different. For some reason, he is just mesmerized with the idea of a semiauto that takes a revolver round, like a Desert Eagle, a gun he would never buy for price alone. Why this disappoints him like it does when he finds out the reality, I have no idea. Funny thing is, he has zero interest in the opposite, the Taurus 692 that takes 9MM and .38/.357, a gun I am interested in.
This follows his pattern of not actually reading anything in detail. I can't even guess the amount of times he's called me all excited or angry about something he read online, and he didn't read it, or actually understand it. We came to the conclusion a long time ago, that politics is something we should never talk about. His lack of any real knowledge about politics in general frustrates me. I want to yell at him, "Go to the library and read some books!". Some of his basic "understanding" of politics are totally the opposite of reality. Left wing, right wing, he's got them all blended together into a very whacky mix of nonsense. History is a subject he did not do well at all in. But he's very good at being angry about, well, nothing.
