Why Does S&W stay in Mass???

[LOCKHART]

Just a thought. Since they can't seem to get it done through legislative channels.

Wouldn't it be tragic if some anti-gun billionaire bought American Outdoor Brands?

Why would they. You don't get to be a billionaire by throwing your money away. If they bought it at all it would be because AOBC was under valued.

Blomberg has been "throwing" millions away on gun control for quite a few years.

Bloomberg wants laws in his own image. Buying out all the firearms manufacturers would be more then he's willing to spend and he would go broke if the government was his only customer. Laws are his target.

LOL! Just how in hell does one judge "quality" in a plastic pistol? Damn sure isn't in the MATERIAL! Or workmanship! There isn't any!

How is pushing "start" on a plastic injectorany different than pushing start on a CNC machine?

Do you really think a machinist hand cuts every metal framed pistol?

 

[LOCKHART]

No, I don't, and never said that. But if you can't tell the quality difference between an injection molded frame and the frame of a Colt 1911, then I don't think you and I have the same definition of "quality".

 

[LOCKHART]

If you look down into the frame of most plastic pistols of today, it reminds me of looking inside the cap guns I played with back in the 50's! In other words, CHEAP!

What does that have to do with the quality of the finished firearm?

 

[Vaquero]

About as much as it has to do with staying in Massachusetts .

 

[LOCKHART]

Dawico, don't know if you're just pulling my chain, or that you really don't KNOW, but I don't like the innards of my guns looking like the insides of a cheap 50's cap gun. Apparently, you DO!

 

[LOCKHART]

Having said that, the insides of my daily carry, a Ruger SR-40, look just like the insides of a cheap 50's cap gun! Damn! LOL!

You're not looking closely enough because polymer and modern metallurgy techniques like MIM have advanced more than just a bit since the 1950s... not all plastics are created equal. What you're calling 'quality' is really subjective aesthetics. The performance of products made with QUALITY polymer frames and/or parts is exceptional.

Now examples of bad QUALITY polymer and metallurgy would be Hi Point, Jimenez, Jennings/Bryco or other sub $200 handgun brands. Making a gun out of all metal (with possible exception of grip panels) doesn't mean it's QUALITY. There are plenty of all metal handguns that have horrible QUALITY... a number of revolvers referred to as 'Saturday night specials', any Lorcin, Rohm, llama... I could go on and on.
Being made in the good 'ol days doesn't mean it's QUALITY either... the Italian Glisenti, the type 94 Japanese Nambu, LeMat grapeshot revolver, etc.

No, I really don't care what the innards look like if the gun works.

Glocks work. They are quality firearms.

You seem to have a problem differentiating between quality and what firearms you like.

I was referencing your "workmanship" claim.

Toilet paper roll.

End flap forward over the top or backward from under?

 

[avvidclif]

Depends on who puts it on the holder, my wife or myself.

Is that far enough off topic???

Over the Top please.

1ply or 2ply?

Just use corn cobs, eliminates all the hassle.
