My .50 ae desert eagle I bought when I was young and stupid only misfeeds once in a blue moon. So it ain’t a limp wrist.

It’s like my issue with lever actions. I’ve owned 4 lever guns in my life, I don’t remember the particular models because it was about 20 years ago, but one was a Winchester that had to be angled upside down to eject, one was a Henry .357 that opon opening the action, all the rounds in the mag tube dumped into the receiver, another unknown brand (possibly Henry) in .44 magnum that would not pop rounds out of the mag tube upon cycling the lever. It had to be single loaded, and another one whose action wouldn’t close on any round unless you aligned the round with the chamber between shots.

Lever action rifles are the sorriest pieces of garbage I have ever had the displeasure of attempting to use. They remind me a lot of 1911s in that regard.

So while the 1911 guys are practicing stoppage clearance, me and the rest of the instructors will be crushing the range with our “boring” plastic pistols.
