That is not only "Cringeworthy", but a likely Red Flag for the ATF to drop in for a visit. Now THAT would get Mommy upset.

Somehow using "Glock" and "Armor/armorer" in the same sentence doesn't work for me. Is there such thing at a "Kel-Tec" armorer?

Same guy that works on Tisas.

Something I keep seeing is distressed firearms finishes from the factory. Goes right up there by new jeans with holes in them. Especially from "custom" 1911 makers such as Ed Brown or Nighthawk. There's nothing quite like good, honest well earned finish wear on a nice gun. Having a gun that looks like it was drug though a gravel pit before being shipped off NIB is a whole different thing and I hate the trend.

The cars do rust, but it ain't the outer panels that do.

I hate single action semi-automatic handguns like 1911s that need to be cocked before you can fire the first round.

Not following ya here, bud. You've already cocked it when you chambered the first round. Why are you decocking a single action?

Gun writer cliches.
"Breaks like glass"

"Hit the hind end of a fly at x yards"

They all need to be cocked before firing the first round. Whether by racking the slide, cocking the hammer with your finger, or cocking the hammer with the trigger on a DA (leaving out the Hk p7 on purpose cuz it's an oddball but still needs to be cocked).

Stupid descriptions for guns, ammo etc.

'Fighting rifle' , 'Pew pew', 'shotty' for a shot gun and 'pug nose' to describe SWC bullets are just a few...
