    The other 99.999999999% of the time, I really just care if the gun works well. I've yet to see any evidence that guns with more parts are less reliable or less durable. The steering mechanism in your car probably has far more parts than your pistol. How many times has your steering system failed?

    Bad analogy. The R&D, engineering and safety regulations that go into launching a new cars steering system probably dwarf the engineering budget of the top 5 pistol manufacturers.

    But whatever. So long as a gun is working great and you have no reason or desire to tear it down; golden.

    Parts count is most useful for trying to dominate the interwebZ, following a variation of "I like my gun because it has so few parts," or "your gun sucks because it has too many parts."

    Way off topic, but would anyone guess that when Nyeti and I went cruising gun shops last week, he spent more time in the train shop than all the gun shops combined. Fortunately no multiple form was necessary for buying three locomotives.

    Importance of simple gun internals

    While the BMW vs Yugo comparison I apt, I have seen countless Yugos maintained with nothing more than wire and rakia. And what those gypsies can do to them is bind blowing....

    However in the 1st world, I'd much rather have a BMW.

    I knew there was something likable about him! I'll admit it is my only interest that either is not tied to my livelyhood or doesn't have armies of statists trying to take from me. As such, it brings me a large degree of relaxation.

    I was there two weeks earlier and already cleaned the gun shops out of the good stuff......... Those three locomotives were a STEAL and worth 5 times what I paid, so I was really happy.

    I wondered why I was enjoying this camera bug that bit me so much, and you just hit the nail on the head. Thank you.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    Oh yea, I am carrying a high parts count HK VP9 with an X300 IWB under my shirt.........just so we don't get too far off track.
