Pat Riot Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I was just on another forum where a guy asked about shooting Uberti SAA clones with modern smokeless powder. I guess he thought they were Black Powder “only” guns. People proceeded to tell him about other guns and how he should get rid of it and get a gun with a transfer bar and blah, blah, blah... Annoys the hell out of me... I have been on gun forums for well over 20 years and this kind of thing has been going on since before I started, I am sure. It’s not just gun forums either. I have seen it on others. When a person asks about something why do some people think they need to interject with their opinion regarding something the original poster didn’t even ask about? I guess you could call this a pet peeve of mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 In my 81 years I have found some really good info in mags and lately in firearm forums. But... saying that I have found really stupid blogs by people that know everything. Best to take everything you read or see with a grain of salt. And consider the source. I think the SASS wire produces some of the best info to questions that I have found. I consider the SASS wire as my go to for any questions I have. And yes its rally annoying to ask a question and have some moron inject their opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 There was a thread here a day or two ago that fits right in - about S&W's goofy locking safety system. The OP's question was, " Have any of you here actually had a problem with the safety lock failing, causing the gun to become inoperable?" The answers were almost entirely some variation of, "Mine works fine" or "I've put 50,000 zillion rounds through mine with no problems", and so on. One answer out of twelve replies directly addressed the original question. (ME ) Which reminds me... I need to go back and edit my reply to reflect the other S&W's I have with the lock that have always worked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that really gets me is someone will ask about a 9mm (insert striker fired brand / model here). In short order someone will say “get a 1911” and that will be quickly followed with “get a 1911 in .45”. It’s not just 1911 guys that do this. Fans of particular brands or models do it all the time. Heck, I am probably guilty of it but I try hard not to be “that guy”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 A little secret: One of the reasons I made my Henry vs Marlin thread here in the Saloon was I really didn’t want to hear the crap that I hear on the wire whenever anyone posts about Henry’s or new Marlins. Some folks do mean well when they try and steer you but some folks are just manipulators and bullies. Pards in here are the best...except for that guy over there...he’s almost the best.
