Geardos

This looks hard and complicated. Can we talk about Glock versus 1911 instead?

So, I linked the post from Saturday morning and the one from Sunday morning over at Facebook, which has sorta become the blog's de facto comments section.

While both generated a reasonable amount of engagement and discussion, the one on aftermarket Glock 48 magazines had more comments and shares in an hour than the one on locking your damn doors did in a whole day.

Gear posts always generate more discussion than those concerning tactics, soft skills, or even actual shooting techniques. 

People will engage in endless passionate flaming internet debates over less than a tenth of an inch of bullet diameter or a quarter of an ounce of lead. On the other hand, if you want to talk about the utility of a surreptitious draw versus its possible downsides, or the importance of positive target identification even in one's own home? Crickets.

People have weird priorities.
