I went to a local one to pickup some receivers I had been waiting on (an Aero Precision lower for AR, and a lower for a CETME[because I'd like to have the chance to sell one of my kit builds one day and I don't want to sell my bent DIY receivres with]). And I got to talking with two guys. They started talking about ammo so I pointed out they were massively over-priced but were pulling it off so good for them i guess, I'll keep bulk ordering and reloading I politely mentioned (it's two to five bucks cheaper per box of 50 on the bulk buys). So they got a little miffed (there weren't any other customers around). There was a gun rental rack right behind them and they started bad mouthing the Ruger SR9, they let me handle it kindly enough, and then I got the "well that trigger is worn in, most folks who have never shot a gun before like it, but they should get a real gun like a glock or sig."
Okay, Sigs are good guns and Glocks(depends who you ask, I like the Model 20) are good guns, but Ruger has produced quality semis for some years, yeah the P series were some ugly SOBs but they run like champs (like Volvos built during the 80s). And the SR9 recall was because of the dropping standard with the safety off. I've decided if I go back there to use the range, I'm renting the SR9, granted I recently got a P95 in a second-hand sale and I only really need one 9mm, but maybe a few months from now, and few thousand rounds of stocking up later, and refilling some spent savings, I'll pick one up, hopefully used and second hand.
Also the guys seemed lossed when I talked about FALs, Garands, BM59s, CETMEs, and S&W model revolvers. I know they shouldn't have to be geniuses but pickup a copy of Shotgun News from time to time and read a gun mag once in awhile. I don't want someone who has never had ridden a motorcycle trying to sell me a 1200cc bike.
