Rant - Stupid Gun Manufacturers:
[Rant Mode]
Is it just me or does everyone here have trouble finding needed information about firearms you'd like to buy from the manufacturer's website? I go to the manufacturers website and all I find is a single picture with a few tidbits of information dispersed like it was costing them a thousand dollars a byte. Trying to get information from a gun manufacturer's website is like trying to find your way back to your hotel in a strange city full of oneway dead-end cul-de-sacs with no street signs or lighting. What is with these stupid gun manufacturers? Most don't sell that many products. And the products they have don't have more than a dozen features or so. It shouldn't be hard to provide a one page summary of a product and show a few pictures from different angles. I've seen better summaries offered at the official Chia Pet Homepage and better explanations and pictures given on the Dancing Hamster pages.
And don't even say that their primary business is to make good guns and not to build websites. If you have a brain at all then you understand that their primary business is to sell decent products and make money in doing so. A business website is nothing more than a sales brochure. But their salesmanship is so poor that they rely on meaningless soundbytes, catch-phrases, and hype, like they were selling pre-made pudding pops, Cheetos, or SUV's! Be honest, how many times have you had to go to multiple sites on the web looking for information about a gun because the manufacturer's site didn't give you the information you wanted?
Have we become such slaves to our corporate masters that they can show us anything bright-n-shiny and we will just start emptying our wallets like Pavlov's dog or some kind of crack-zombie? Or, are they very misguided and think we are not the educated consumers I suspect we are as a group?
Dear Gun Manufacturers:
For Gods sake start showing some information about your crappy products!!!
(Caliber, Capacity, Overall Length, Width, Height, Barrel Length, Weight, Trigger Pull in lbs, Type of Action: SA/DA/DAO, External Hammer?, External Safety?, Materials and Finish, Suggested Retail Price).

P.S. Just thought I'd share!
