    Sorry, but the firearm world equivalent is what SEALs use. If you're not running a Mk25, you're a chump who's never operated.

    So, is this discussion about seriously shooters of one or two platform so versus S.I.M.P.s?

    Is this a skills test or a measurement of what one says online?

    Sounds like a skills test to me. Throw down, boy.

    My point is simply that a person who is a "gun guy" can and will appreciate all types and kinds of firearm because he has achieved basic competency in the fundamentals and so is able to operate most any firearm effectively and accurately. Sure, he will have his favorite types and brands of firearms, but fanatical devotion to a particular brand or one particularly trigger action as if *it* is the key to effective use of a firearm is not a good approach, in my opinion.

    It might be said to be comparable to the difference between a fan of the game of baseball and merely a fan of a particular baseball team.

    Insert obligatory Matthew Quigley quote here:

    "I said I didn't have much use for one. Didn't say I didn't know how to use it."

    This thread makes me want to go hang out on Perfection Specific Gun Forum for research.

    I think you misunderstand most members here. While most have a preference, I have no doubt most of the more vocal
    Membership here could pick up any handgun and run it sufficiently. Unfortunately, which was apparent in my journal you posted in, you only read what you want to read. I may be an odd duck where I like almost any gun but think it's important, after getting basic fundamentals, to stick with one gun for awhile. Maybe it's my background or own experience fighting but I want my gear to be an after thought (as in I know what I have on me and where it is subconsciously) so I can focus on other aspects of the fight. Obviously, and probably, your mileage may vary.
