has anyone stopped and really thought about any of the statements that XDM45 makes? No one person can be as far out in left field as he appears to be. I think he lays awake at night and thinks of comments just to jerk your chains. Maybe if no one posts answers to his comments he will go away. If you like getting frustrated and p.o.'d over his posts keep up the dialogue. I think he is laughing at us!!!!!!!
Not laughing at anyone, but for those who are so inclined, please feel free to use the ignore feature. No one has a gun to their head forcing them to read them, or me to write them.
To All,
I've made it rather plain on several things, but some misconstrue my words, troll, whatever, so for the final time...........
1) Glocks are great guns from the technical point of view, in my opinion. In that regard, I LIKE THEM. GASP!!!!!!!
2) I don't like the feel of Glocks. It's a personal preference thing from holding them and firing them. Great guns technically, not a great gun for ME. If they work for YOU, rock on. Buy 'em to your heart's delight.
3) I don't care what anyone shoots. I'm not pimpin' XD, Ruger, or any gun. I favor none of them for anyone except myself. I buy what I like, what fits a purpose, and what works for me. If anyone has a problem with that, bummer. That's their issue, not mine. It works the other way too... if I don't like the fact someone buys a Glock and I don't like it, bummer, that's my issue... the thing is, I don't care what anyone else shoots. So it's not an issue for me. Find what works for you and use it. It certainly doesn't matter to me. I'm not getting a cut on the monies you spend on your guns. I wish I was!!
4) I get the guy in the video likes Glocks. I also get he dislikes the fanboyism of it, and I agree with that.
5) Yup. Owned guns for a couple of years, but that doesn't mean I'm a complete noob to them either, contrary to the opinions of some on here. I'm certainly no expert either.
(Of course my opinion is some of the folks here are first-class a-hats, but what does either of our opinions really matter anyway except to ourselves, right?) I fired .22s when I was a kid, black powder rifles, a few pistols and rifles over the years, but I never owned any until the past few years. Do I geek out on guns, reload, have a safe full of them, collect them, drool over the a gun I want to buy, etc? Nah. As I've long said, to me, their a tool. If I need a gun for a certain purpose, I buy it, that's all.
6) Ok. I guess not everyone can feel the difference between like-models of their guitars, guns, cars, etc, but to me, (and to many others I've known in life), they can. Take 2 of the same anything and to me, it feels different.
(For example, my wife and I have the exact same year, make and model of car, both cars handle differently.) I'm not going to debate this with anyone since there's no real point to it. Take me at my word on it or not, doesn't matter either way because it doesn't change it for me at all. In cars and guitars, the differences are much more pronounced, same thing with other musical instruments as well, with guns, it's much less so, but it is there, at least for me.
