Obviously you have your opinion. But it is just an opinion as you lack the experience with the pistol first hand. Thank you for your service, but you should've been able to diagnose your neighbor's extractor problem pretty quickly - it's not rocket science to those with real experience in these matters.
I've read plenty of reviews and I've read forum comments. Seems like forum comments are fouled by a few (doo-doo in the punch bowl effect) whereas reviews are generally positive. Seems like the negative on this forum comes from the same individuals repeatedly.
I think the main problem with some folks is that they can't wrap their head around the utility of a $200 9mm pistol. Either that or the CEO of SCCY ran over their puppy with his Lambo..
First off, you are just some guy on a forum- your thanks have no bearing on my service.
Furthermore, YOU set the playing field here which was DEMANDING that people with hands-on experience only reply to your question. You furthered this position by having the audacity to attempt to chastise another member who expressed an opinion about your son's firearm that you didn't like.
YOU are not an authority regarding this forum-in 20 years of membership you've only bothered to participate 700-odd times. Pretty paltry interaction.
You already have your opinion of your son's pistol- what were you looking for here? Had you bothered to do a search here, you would have learned that the SCCY brand is held in almost total disdain by the members here
But no, you chose to post a query, and then argue with the answers you got. Pretty lame behavior. What was your purpose? Stirring up an argument?
Well, you'll not get an argument from anyone here. Your son's pistol- if it is truly your son's and not yours, and you're afraid to admit to owning it- is a junk-level firearm. Argue and refute statements all you want but it doesn't change anything.
You state that I don't have first-hand experience with the weapon, but you choose not to recognize- or you don't understand- that when a gunsmith works on a firearm, they also operate and test that firearm. If YOU are so knowledgeable about firearms, why are you asking the opinions of others here? You seem to need others' affirmation, but you portray yourself (falsely) as so knowledgeable that you will argue with everybody's opinion- which is what you asked for initially. But you want to make erroneous statements about MY and others' interactions with SCCY pistols to rationalize your position.
This makes me think that either you are just trying to start a fight, or it's not your "son" but you who owns this pistol and you're too embarrassed to admit it, and your pride won't let you accept what others are saying as direct responses to your questions.
You can sidetrack the conversation all you want- I and others care not one bit. However, quit your nonsense about putting words into other peoples' mouths. I never said anything about an extractor problem because that was not one of the issues with my neighbor's pistol. You can jump to conclusions all you want but it doesn't change the fact that people here know that the SCCY pistols are bottom -of- the- barrel.
Your post reminds me of the old adage-
Don't confuse me with facts, my mind's made up.
On that note, your final post is nothing more than the efforts of a troll to agitate people trying to participate in conversation. You, again, have the audacity to make a nasty statement, but you don't engage in the back-and-forth of conversation and debate. It appears as if your only purpose is to cause problems.
NOBODY cares what you spend your money buying- if you want a SCCY, buy it. But don't think for one minute that your insults and misrepresentations will convince anyone that you want a legitimate dialogue.
Time for this thread to end.
You get the ignore button.
