Gun Owners and their acronyms...
So I'm fairly new to this forum and fairly new to shooting in general. I've spent a majority of my time on this forum just figuring out what you guys are talking about. I was wondering if a few of you guys who have been around the scene for awhile could run down through some of the popular acronyms (FTF - fail to fire?) for some of us new guys. I know there are a TON, so anything could help. Thanks

There was a thread not too long ago where we ran down all of them.
DO a quick search for some of them and it should come up.

Welcome to the forum. Don't worry about it too much. We tend to make some of them up as we go along.

Welcome to the forum. I had the same problem when I first found the forum but as I kept reading and posting, I got the hang of the local lingo and you will to.

The people here are very helpful, so do not hesitate to ask anything you can thing of!

Since I shoot Sigs, I have no need for the term "Fail to Fire", therefore FTF means "Face to Face" as in I want to buy a gun from someone face to face, no shipping, no papers.

FTE means Fail to Eject.(I don't have that problem, either)
