Random Thopughts of and Amateur Gun Guru

Most commonly an amateur is understood to be someone who does something without pay or formal training.
Most people think that because you are an amateur that you don't know squat about what you are talking about. I see it a little differently.
Amateurs don't get paid.
Professionals do.
Amateurs can be just as good if not better than the pros as we have seen on shows like Pros vs Joes.
I don't get paid for my opinions and I don't really care what people think of me or my opinions. You need to do your own searching on the internet and come up with your own opinions. If someone takes my advice and it works out great for them then AWESOME!
If it doesn't...
Oh well. I tried.
More often then not I have done a lot research into whatever topic I am commenting on and I know what I am talking about. I don't try to pretend anything or give a bullsh!t answer. I hold a person's integrity to the highest and I will continue to call a spade a spade no matter what anyone gets a offended at.
We should all strive to be the best at what we do and I have to say I am slacking. I have not been giving XDtalk my fullest attention considering I have been dividing my attention between internet arguments(wrestling with pigs in some places), work, the forces of reality, and a the demand for a normal sex life keep me elsewhere. I can't over emphasize the necessity of practice in shooting and I can't tell you guys enough that just cuz the gun didn't work for you doesn't mean they are all broken.
Anyway...
Those of you that still believe Glocks are crappy, ask Dave Sevigny what he thinks.
Those of you that think traditional DA handguns are crap, go ask Ernie Langdon about that one.
To all those Revolver haters out there, Jerry Miculek has a few things to show you.
That is all I have to say for now.
Go find yourselves some answers.

I've owned Glocks, S&W's, and about 1 of every thing else. As long as they go bang and dont hiccup they're good with me. Glocks are great guns but i carry XD's because they feel better in my hand and speed loaders are not as speedy with me as there name suggest.

You know many people think that one gun is better than another and it is all really personal preference. I think owning one make of handgun is a bad idea and limits your experience. I have many different makes and models and it gives me a wider experience lever to call upon. I would say more but that is for a different blog!!
