Local gun shop employee, "CZ75 is a poor quality firearm, that's why I own a Glock"

[ilikegunspdx]

This is what a guy told me a couple days ago in a local gun shop. I didn't try to take the time to educate the ignorant F as I believe him to be beyond help.

Dang, I feel sorry for people just getting into guns and are being told this BS. I have nothing against Glocks at all of course but some of these employees are just plain dumb.

What's that line from Forrest Gump? Oh yeah. Stupid is as stupid does. Poor gun shop feller.

I'll raise you a ten he will probably say he is a 'long term gun owner of five years'

You should call him and tell him to check out this thread.

Heads will turn if they themselves actually carry Glocks on their hips.

While I don't have anything against Glocks and have owned a couple over the years, they never really stuck with me. CZs, on the other hand, I have many. The guy could be recommending worse guns to new gun owners than a Glock, but I suspect he hasn't handled, fired, or owned a CZ if that is his perspective. Or he maybe isn't as experienced himself with firearms, which puts him at a disadvantage to be giving sound advice to the shops customers.

Glocks are good firearms. I've never had any issues at all with mine, not even the Glock 44. Guess I got one of the good ones. Certainly easy to get caliber conversion barrels etc for Glocks. But the CZ75's? Those things are just plain amazing!

 

[CountryGent]

A LGS employee who is clueless? Shocking.

In all seriousness; I can certainly see why that was annoying. There's many reasons why I gave up on local shops a long time ago.

 

[JRuby]

Would really like to know which gun shop that was. They dont need my business.

 

[JuglansRegia]

I don't know what it is about gun shop counter people but nationwide they seem to be full of bubblegum, for the most part.

 

[BigDog67]

Well, in all honesty, I won't own either one.

The gun store guy is either a nincompoop or else there's a bonus for selling Glocks this week

 

[papersoldier]

This happened to me recently when I was buying a Makarov. The shop employee told me it was "Russian junk" and that I should buy a S&W Shield instead. I responded by asking him for a discount on the Mak, since it was junk and all and probably wasn't worth what he was trying to sell it for . He tried to backpedal after that but I told him that I probably wouldn't be back since I don't like shopping at stores that knowingly sell low quality "junk" to their customers.

 

[Xaevian]

That is an awesome rumor to spread. Genius, really. Leaves more CZ's in the marketplace for those that actually know better. Dude should get a raise.

That is a very good guess but it wasn't the gun room. After he said that, my first thought was to ask him, "Didn't you use to work at the gun room?". But he wouldn't have understood the joke anyway. Honestly I was so disgusted I just walked away. I mean he was like 50 years old and he gets one little piece of info that's Glocks are good (and they are good, I'm not debating that at all) and then proceeds to tell the customer why their gun is no good cuz it isn't a Glock.

And what's worse is that he said that after him eying my phone while I'm looking at sights for a cz75 on it. I could understand if I was walking around saying how good X gun is or something but he just came out of the blue with his crap. I'm just venting I guess...
