A gun is a BEAUTIFUL tool... except hi-points... they are not beautiful
I own one. It is a great truck gun. If you drop it while riding 4 wheelers, coon hunting at night, or it gets stolen from your truck at night it isn't a big deal (besides the fact it was stolen) but I don't use it as a daily carry. I just keep it in the truck very hidden in case I forget a gun and need it. I use it as my toss around beat the shit out of gun. It is basically indestructible. I paid 50 bucks for it when I bought a gun it was a add on to a sale. So while I absolutely hate it's looks, they do have a purpose.
Yeah, I don't own one, but have cognitively come around to them. A buddy of mine (after much cajoling) convinced me to shoot the thing. I couldn't believe how slowly the slide recoiled, but I guess that's what you get when yo make it out of cast iron. But yeah, when my booger hooks pushed the bang switch it went "boom", which is 95% of what you want out of a gun to begin with. I'm trying to un gun-snob myself.
It will happen. I manufacture HK clones, AKs, ARs, and a lot of stuff. People think I am a gun snob. I'm not. I really just like to collect anything. I even buy bubba'd guns and try and save them. It is a nice hobby of mine. I actually like my cheaper guns more. You can have more fun and enjoy them more without the risk of dropping the value of them. That is why I really like my cheaper guns I guess. My kids have gotten to the ages of hunting and while I love them I'm not letting them take my most expensive guns out. Hell when I go my favorite rifle to take is still my Mossberg 100 ATR in 30-06. I just feel like you get more use out of cheaper guns. I rarely ever take out my expensive guns, but I take out my cheaper guns to the range/fields to let my buddies shoot all the time.
