Yep.

I actually miss the 70's and 80's when there was no internet or social media.

FIFY

I have zero engineering complaints with any Magpul or Larue product that I've purchased, and those are two of the biggest fanboy magnets.



And for those sidetracking this thread, all my budget (and neighbors' patience) tolerates is NAD for the juice and Paradigm for the boom. Oh, and a Denon 5-disc changer from ~1992 that just keeps working.

Sidetracking ? SQUIRREL.........................

From the thread title, I thought this was going to be a discussion of Kel-Tec.

I'm a big fan of the "speak softly and carry a big stick" philosophy when it comes to dealing with the firearms community in general.

I generally feel the same way. One of the realizations I came to when I first started posting on gun/tactical message boards was that there are a lot of people who like to talk about guns/shooting/tactical-ninja-super-karate.... Not nearly as many people who want to actually GO shoot/fight/train. A lot of show and not much go seems to be the norm.

I get the point the author was trying to make but his delivery was terrible. Mat Best did a much better job at getting the point across.
