I think people are especially sore about Blackhawk since their factory is in Vietnam.
My biggest beef with
Blackhawk is that their ad department is sesemingly run by a 13 year old
Counter-Strike players that seem to also be fans of
John Woo Movies.
Don't know what I mean?
Observe. They're not just gloves. Oh no, they're HELLSTORM TACTICAL GLOVES! Everything in the Blackhawk catalog has names like HELL-this or STRIKE that, or something-STORM.
I think this sums it up nicely.
PLOOIE! BOOM! WHOOSH! Who'd have thought that there'd be so many plumes of flame in the typical day of your average Elite Most Tactical Operator? (This pic is especially funny since it looks like the guy ate too much chili...)
Anyway, I like the guys on these boards that get all huffy if you don't like exactly what they like. If Glocks or 1911s aren't best, then you're just WRONG, 'cause ELITE SHOOTERS choose Glocks and 1911s.
Or if you don't like the AR-15 for whatever, you're a bigot of some sort who's living off of internet rumor based on stories from Vietnam. (I think it's a pain in the rear to clean and I don't really dig .223 rifles.)
Or sometimes legal and political type threads turn into a big match, with each poster trying to be MORE libertarian than the previous; by the end you have the diciples of Ayn Rand getting all indignant at those that disagree ('cause then you're a statist/facist/communist/UN-lover, you see).
I also like how sometimes people think their gun of choice is double-plus-good-better because it looks similar to something our military or SOCOM types use.
I find it amusing when someone said "If Glocks are good enough for the majority of police, aren't they good enough for us?"
I chuckle when someone calls someone else a fool for not carrying a tactical-enough gun (usually your die-hard-tactical-auto-guy blasting a guy that packs a sixgun).
I especially have to laugh whenever that guy Nightcrawler starts typing. I think he's a full-of-himself jerk!
LOL
