---The ODT 'Midas Touch'---
Pricing used items equal to or higher than the price of brand new items because your use of the item magically added to its value.

And don't forget stippling value....got to add stippling value in.
Semi autos for self defense rule and the revolver drools. Take that pretty 357/44 mag back to the hunting woods.
That pisses a few friends off who are still old school.

Just because you wrote a book, have a youtube channel, or blog does not in anyway make you a gun expert.
That makes them a serious operator! Don't even have to go to a range!

Stipple and cerakote bitchers drive me crazy. If it works, helps you shoot better, helps the gun perform better, there is no logical reason the be so adamantly against said modifications. Especially on a cheap, plastic gun.
Makes it real easy to pick out the cheap ass individuals who buy stuff only if it is a bargain and proceed to never actually shoot

Finally someone said it . This drives me nuts .
Another one that drives me nuts is the “semi auto belt feds are useless and boring “
My lord it’s no different than every semi auto “sporting “ rifle ....
Two more UNPOPULAR opinions of mine:
1-- The only Colt Python worth collecting as a safe queen is an older one with the royal blue finish. I think the stainless steel ones are ugly, and some other Colt finish that wasn't real bluing is just hideous. I wouldn't pay $100 more for a Python over a similar K, L, or N-frame S&W UNLESS it was at least a 40-year old Python in Royal Blue.
2-- Sporterized mil-surp rifles have more significance to me than a pristine, unmodified one.
They have history both as weapons of war AND as of sporting rifles owned by hunters, plinkers, and target shooters in the postwar years. America's love of the shooting sports and the huge jump in NRA membership in the 1950s came largely due to the importation of cheap and plentiful bolt action service rifles declared surplus shortly after WWII, and later in the 1950s when semi-autos and select-fire guns replaced them as front-line battle rifles. The holes where a Mauser was tapped for scope bases, or the fact that its 8 x 57mm barrel was replaced with one in .30-06, shows me that this gun was cherished and respected by American owners after the Germans were done with it.

"Why the hell not" is a perfectly good reason to buy or build something. Bonus points for ridiculous Cerakote jobs.
