My god, your long rambling idiotic answer to this person’s question is among the dumbest things I have ever seen on FR. You are more concerned with showing off your knowledge of firearms then you are in helping this person obtain a weapon for self defense. Get a clue and grow the f*** up.
RE: #105
Really? Was that abount of snarkiness necessary?
Archy has been around FR forever and I thought I knew a lot about military history until I started reading his posts.
Was there maybe too much info for a newby shooter? Possibly.
Was any of the information incorrect or bad?
Absolutely not.
If I were to boil his post all down, I’d say read Jeff Cooper’s “Art of the Rifle” and then practice practice practice.
