I saw alot of he videos. Please show me the parts where they gave lip service below the belt to such things. I carry an m and p in 9mm doesn't mean I think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, acknowledgement and worship are not the same.
I’m not sure what you mean by “lip service below the belt” and “worship”. I don’t think either men “worship” any gun...they have their favorites and preferences, for sure, but worship? No. And they are pretty matter of fact and acknowledge good and bad gear, guns, ammo, and trends of many aspects of the shooting world.
If you get the impression I am a 9MM Glock fan, you’d be correct. But I’m also a 1911 .45 fan. I have preferences, but I surely don’t “worship” anyone or anything on this world, let alone a gun. Only 1 thing/person/entity is worth my effort to “worship”...and that would be a Trinity made up of an all powerful Father, His Spirit, and His Jewish carpenter Son.
That said, did you watch the Gun guys Glock centric video?
Anyway, some other thoughts, since I’m rambling anyway....
After watching most of the videos, these are some of the statements/points said/made by one of the two men...and I am paraphrasing....that I found most interesting:
- On Calibers: The US is a 9-45 caliber country, but the rest of the world is 9MM pistol centric.
- On Lubes and Cleaners: Most of the world cleans guns with diesel fuel and lubes with motor oil, and they generally work just fine.
- On difference between 1911 and Glocks: The 1911 was designed to be built individually and hand fitted by gunsmiths, where the Glock was designed for mass production.
- On Colt’s fall: During the multi year union strike at Colt, the craftsmen and gunsmiths were replaced by staff employees, who didn’t know how to properly build 1911’s. That was the cause for the poor quality during the dark days at Colt.
- On shooting competition’s focus on speed over accuracy: By establishing scoring systems where faster but sloppy shooter would always beat slower yet more accurate shooters, the speed aspect was overly rewarded. iDPA’s recent adjustment is a step in the right direction.
