Goofy Things Said At Gun Shops

small town security.....

I saw a recent clip of AMCs new unscripted series: Small Town Security.
The gang went into a local gun shop(fake as all get out). The "Chief" told the sales clerk she wanted a small handgun with knockdown power. :confused:
All the clerk said was; "yes ma'am".

Im sure sales clerks & shop mgrs nationwide hear that knockdown chestnut.

Indeed. I've had a few guys tell me they won't carry anything less for self defense. It's the only semiauto round endorsed by Tim "the Tool Man" Taylor.

*since people don't know about 400 Corbon.

Ah! I forgot: the most elite (make sure to use that word) cartridge is the most obscure and most expensive. Elite Tactical Ninja only carries the best, and the best is the cartridge nobody can get. Therefore, nobody else can prove it's not any better than anything else out there.

That, or .45 GAP. Same thing.
 
And of course if you fired a parabellum round and an antebellum round so that they collided they would mutually annihilate each other produing pure energy.

(much like pasta and antipasto at Italian restaurants-you combine the two only at your own risk.)
 
My cousin saw it himself in a classified location in Afghanistan! The sniper's name was Chuck Norris. He was letting SEAL Team 6 tag along, providing security. And that was after he vaporized an entire enemy force with his 1911 .45ACP from 100 yards!

hey it was Chuck Norris it has to be true....


Post 93 is disturbing, considering the range that burned to the ground this year due to some idiot firing tracers into the rubberized backstop.

You need to go back and check your facts. Tracers do not generate the needed heat to start burning rubber. Incendaries will do the job.

I live in Los Angeles. Every cop I've ever met was on a mission to quell the disgruntled people. I've had friends given false tickets, a fraternity brother beaten up outside my own home, sober people arrested for drunk driving, and I've seen the pictures of the cars fired on during the Chris Dorner issue.

They are not my friend.

I lived in Pomona during college and can vouch that Southern Cali will leave a bad taste in your mouth. However, I don't think thats the topic of this thread.

Worse comments I've seen have invariably been some range or counter dude giving women advice on pistols for CC. Inevitably they are told to either get a tiny .380 (for lower recoil) or a .45 1911 (because nothing else is strong enough).

The wife and I were at a public range. I had wandered off and she was getting ready to shoot a FS92 when some range jock unilaterally piped up that the pistol was too much for her and she should use a .380. After she emptied the mag into the red she just smiled at him. ;)

Talking to a fellow about surplus guns at the last gun show I attended :

"I have an all original, numbers matching Mauser K98 from Mitchells Mausers."

Oh dear...:rolleyes:

Exactly. The firearms community invented hipsters.

"I carry a Springfield TRP Operator, with a 400 Corbon conversion barrel. It can kill a grizzly with a miss of less than a foot. It's an obscure round. You've probably never heard of it. I discovered it at a gun show in a town nobody knows about. I have the original run of rounds, and the prototype barrel. I'll tell you more about it, after I quote some of Kalashnikov's poetry."

9mm Parrabellum went out of favor when the Antebellum Period started in the Deep South.

And they say Latin is dead.....

This is is the hardest I've laughed in I don't know how long. I almost want to start hanging out at LGS's more often.

That's it. I'm growing a goatee, reading Camus, and smoking clove cigarettes. I remember when 10mm was an elite cartridge. Now that it's gone all mainstream, it's just not as cool anymore.

Can you dig it, baby?
 
Zincwarrior,

Your wifes encounter is an example of why I want a Desert Eagle one day.

I don't really care for them. It's a hunting pistol and I don't hunt. I get annoyed by those who buy them as props for their tacticool testosterone fantasys.

However, if I have money to blow, I'm getting one in .50 AE and then I'm gonna have the most disgustingly girly Disney Princess style pimp job done on it.
Then I'm gonna go haunt public ranges and set myself up beside the biggest, baddest wannabe I can find. It should provide some awesome amusment possibiltys.

I got nothin'. Laughing too hard :)
 
New terminology: "launch power"! A round so powerful, it will throw you right out of the Earth's atmosphere!...but, it's strangely controllable on the user end.

Um, that would be the 10mm Auto, from what I've heard

But that's true. Here is a pic of me shooting one of my 10s from several miles away. I was unharmed, in fact, it was just another day.

Went in a LGS, asked the young man(new owner) if he had any single action 45's or 357s. He gave me one of the weirdest looks I've received since I retired from the world of corrections. His face started to turn red as he spoke "I wish all you old guys would quit coming in here asking me if I have any single actions. All yer going to do with it if I did have one to sell you is go to the river, walk around drinking beer, hualering Yeah Hah while you do yer fast draw and shoot dead trees. You need to stop pretending yer Matt Dillion and accept the fact that the Kimber 45's are the most accurate 45's ever made. You need a reality check and to accept reality". I turned around and walked out. :):):)

I heard an ol guy in a gun shop holler across the shop at someone looking at a "last ditch" Arisaka one time. He was cautioning him not to dry fire it because the "springs" in "those old army guns" are so strong they can crack the bolt if dry fired and or damage the receiver.
