I think that about sums it all up...Thurman: So, your message to the industry is: Don’t get discouraged and keep the faith?
The Gunny:
We have to just bear with it, put up with it until better days come. We’re making it. I still have my guns, you have your guns. We still have ranges where we can go out and shoot. I think firearms, it’s our natural heritage and our right to own firearms. And there’s nothing to be ashamed of in saying you’re a firearms dealer or owner or manufacturer. The bad guys get their guns from someplace else, they don’t get them from us. They don’t get them from the honest people of America who run gun shops.
Yeah, just keep the faith. Hang in there. I think it’s gonna get better before it gets worse, to tell you the truth.
I read this & thoughtMrDrummy wrote:"Say it ain't so!!"
Ouch.
That does sting just a little bit.
I guess that I haven't been around firearms long enough to feel my 1911 drag... or maybe it doesn't?
Or maybe a better quality weapon. 700 rounds, 2 days, no cleaning and my Kimber never even hiccuped. more than once.Mithras61 wrote:I read this & thoughtMrDrummy wrote:"Say it ain't so!!"

I've fired several hundred rounds at a sitting & no cleaning until after with no noticeable change in the handling of the 1911.
Maybe Gunny needs a new ammo supplier that uses a cleqaner burning powder...
or maybe he needs to use a bit less oil...
Hey, at least he got in on the right side of the fight!!txinvestigator wrote: I see he likes myths too. (.45 va 9mm) lol
And I'll add that the ONLY gun I have seen go down during a training that I attended was a Glock.jimlongley wrote:I've even put 500 plus rounds of Wolf thru one of my 1911s on a Saturday, and gone out and shot IDPA (with Wolf) the next day without cleaning it, without a problem.
As in "Glock is paying me"? lolnitrogen wrote:Well, he's now a member of Team Glock, so i'm not suprised to hear him say that.
But it happens after several weeks of shooting 500-600/week with no cleaning or lubrication. In the end, I'm not hurt by R.Lee Ermey's love of Glocks nor am I surpised by his regurgitation of old school myths.+1 stevieQuote:

It sure doesn't mean sitting back and letting it get chipped away at...
SO just because a guy likes guns I have to keep shut about his spreading of myths and propaganda?O6nop wrote:Cracks me up!
Here we got a guy, hitting the nail on the head about 2A rights and gun ownership, and most of the posters here are getting down on Gunny for his choice of firearms! He prefers a Glock. So what? I know it's all tongue-in-cheek but I think we have enough problems without creating more divisions, before you know it we'll have labels like "anti-1911" or "Pro-Glock".
I haven't been around guns enough to see anything "drag", but let the guy have the freedom to make a reasonable choice.
