And I personally prefer them to Glocks, which do not sit well in my hand and possess a passive trigger safety that I dislike.

Preferences vary, bro.

I agree. Then maybe messageboards would have fewer Europeans talking about how they can't understand us Yanks and our damnable obsession with guns.

I've personally won a few converts; fear and loathing of firearms is rooted in the same thing as fear and loathing of many other things: fear and ignorance. Take someone to the range, demistify the weapon, help them experience the joy of putting lead of on target and controlling a lethal weapon, and you frequently have as a result a FORMER anti-gunner.

Glad you had the experience, mate. Reminds me not to take the fact that I can drive down the round and bust caps whenever I want for granted.
