Silliest (stupidest) thing I've heard:
I was at the range the other day and some guy at a lane a few lanes down was trying to impress his friends with his knowlege. He was talking about how only 2 or 3% of shooters were good enough w/ a handgun to hit anything at 50 yards.
Then we were checking out at the same time and his friends were interested in the Hi-Point Carbine I had (hey stop laughing, I know I'm slumming it, I bought it last week thinking it would be fun, which it is, not thinking it would be good for serious needs). When he asked the caliber he was surprised because he didn't know any 9mm long guns were made (I could be mistaking his friend on that one).
Then the conversation somehow
got to 1911s when he started talking about how perfect Les Baer was and if you do happen to have trouble with one he will drop everything he is doing to fix yours.
Valtro came up (mentioned by me as what I wanted). Well, he never heard of it but told his friends "probably former employees from Les Baer, all the decent new top of the line 1911s are made by people who started with Les Baer, like Rock Island Armory" (where is the rolling on the floor laughing icon)
Then he asked me what game it was set up for. I told him that I didn't know since I don't play games with guns, after which it was clear that he decided I must not be a "serious" shooter. I then told him that it was set up in a way that would be good for some games but not being into IDPA or any other competition I don't know which and also it could be a carry gun. It is kinda set up like a Kimber or SA with functional and useful accessories like adjustable target sights, THEN HE INTERUPTED. "Did you say Kimber?!!! Never say Kimber in my presence!!! They are complete and total sh,t! You said a carry gun, I want to carry something that is reliable not a jamomatic. If it is ANYTHING like Kimber I'll take my Les Baer for carry. I want to live!"
What an idiot!
