10.5" vs. 14.5" barrel

Mr. wicked police,

Ok well I had started that thread on holster, and had not realized what holster it in fact was, is that ok with you? I also was not looking to become any kind of a pro, or thinking such things at all. Secondly I have been shooting guns since I was a kid around the age of 6-7 years of age as I grew up in the country, I am now 40. I by no means need a bib, a bucket and all that crap, I have a process engineering degree and do ok without anyones assistance in any part of life.

I only got back into shooting myself a year ago as I had a 5 year break due to my career requirements etc, sorry that new products have came out and that I needed to do research. Apparently there are people who are quick to point out downfalls of someone that is new or back new in the hobby, as for me this is a "hobby" nothing more. Sorry I can only hope that in a year or so on the site
and getting more time to be invloved again in shooting that I will be so super intelligent as you sir and hopefully the side effect is not what you posses now which is being an A-Hole to others that are newer to the site.

On any online forum my intent is to learn, and when I have accumalated real life experience to back what I may have been told, then I will gladly go out of my way to help someone. Apparently there are some people who have a different agenda and that to me is not only not constructive but just rude. If you came to other forums for other hobbies I am interested and very active in I could school you six ways to sunday and you yourself sir would feel past "dumb". However I would NOT point that out in public forum, nor would I try to make you feel dumb, or call you retarded. I sir would 100% go out of my
way to simply help you and understand that I to was in your shoes at one point.

Something to think about, I'd rather come off to others as "new" or "retarded" as you put it, then coming off as a complete jerk.

I can respect that you may be able to " school wicked police six ways to Sunday" on some of the other forums you frequent, but not here. The point of these forums is to learn but when someone who is uneducated about certain facts is giving advice to another person who is also uneducated, how is that learning? Maybe wicked's delivery could have been a little softer as not to hurt your feelings, but there are some very experienced shooters here that I'm sure are tired of all the BS advice given. ( even if it is with good intentions)
 
The other surprise (that is no less shocking to me than anyone....) is that TDC's posts in the pistol and black rifle threads are some of the more reasonable one out there.
Just my little tidbit: TDC can shoot. I have a tendancy to take as much information, advice and techniques from where ever I can get it.
 
PBS streetgang my feelings are not hurt but question,

Were the so called experienced shooters born with all the knowledge they posses, the skills to? Damn rights they were not. When someone is new to tr board the way to help is to help, not by calling people retards or turn the newcomers threads into bashing and sword holier then though contests, that bleeds arrogance and bad character all around apparently that's applauded here feel free to continue. While there is good information here and some who are professional in their ways there also is a handful of people who seek ways to be "the other crowd".

PBS streetgang? That's freaking awesome!!!

It's kinda like "sesame street" meets "apocalypse now"....

Is it ok if I use it?

I read the other thread you got yer lil feelers hurt over and I have to say, you had it coming... Take your lumps and move on, we've all been there at some point....maybe someday one of us big ol meanies will be on one of your aforementioned forums where you know significantly more than you do here, and you can beat us up a little... Which forums are they BTW? PS3, XBOX, or MW3? If I could find an Emoticon with a hug on this site, I would give you one.:D
 
I am not sure if I've gotten crazier or if TDC has gotten more reasonable but I agree, his posts have become some of the better posts here.

When I was new here TDC PM'd me with help on ballistics question I had. He was very helpful and he didn't have to be. A good guy IMO.

I've seen epic dog-pile threads where TDC was just crucified. But his responses were almost always reasonable and you could tell he was trying to keep emotion and name calling out of it. You have to respect that kinda fortitude when a guy is getting a filthy bukkake by almost everyone in the thread.

Didn't feel beat up at all and no not any game sites you must be a young man or something? I suspect so as that was a terrible assumption. I understand stick up for friends even when they're wrong. Not my style but hey rock on...
 

It's unfortunate you feel that way. But this (especially in bold)
I ask as I personally love the "loose" fit on handguns and my mags, I do not like the polymer hg specific ones at all. Re training fof fast reloads and aquisition shooting and the looser style as he has really fit what I am looking for. I also hate mag holders with top straps, buttons and clips, want it all open!
is just too good to not respond to. Your observation about how Chris' gear is a "loose" fit and not polymer hg specific was astounding.

And when told what Chris was actually using (Raven Concealment), your response continued the hilarity.
Exactly the ones I do NOT want, I want ones that will work with all and are NON plastic. :)

Seriously, was the happy face meant as a joke, or for sarcasm? Because if it wasn't, then I just had to go down the road I did. For the good of the children.

Anyway, life's rough, and honesty can be a mean and brutal thing. Don't forget your helmet when you leave the house.

I think I've started the ball rolling in some of those threads.

But as I said previously in the thread, his responses in recent threads have been more reasonable than most of the stuff posted on this site. Which is why you haven't seen me replying to his posts like I did in the past.

I actually don't know wicked police and he hardly needs a young puppy whippersnapper like me to stick up for him, nor do I think he was wrong.
Anyways...I'm sure your not a bad guy, so whadd'ya say we move on?
 
WP,

And you felt the need to bring all of that into this thread which is NOT about me or that thread at all? And why is that? Do you have issues? If you do please PM me cause you are going past over board, and your examples do not give you or anyone rights to call anyone retarded or continue on the way you are.

That would be nice, kinda hard now to as WP has made a point of dragging other info that has nothing to do with this topic, and seems quite personal? That's ok I guess its a good thing to be in habit of keeping posts before their edited and reading the rules upon joining the forum and understanding the processes. So I made one thread that admittently went sideways, who gives a fak? Do I know all there is to know about guns, accessories etc? NO, did I say I did? NO. I joined to learn and contribute when I can? YES. So there is no "deserving" anything for anyone here new or old, from any member new or old period. I am a respectfull person, but when treated disrespectfull that's fine what goes around comes around, always does.
 
Guys no more trolling. Its hard to read what is being said in this thread on my mobile. From what I gather wp wears a helmet and drives the short bus drunk. That is ok though as we all like him a lot

If you think he is arrogant and demeaning that is just because he is short and angry like me. So everybody get along

No saggy bloated #### filled diapers in this thread please
 
I got a bib to with a magic pony on it. Probably makes wp jealous.

Ok back to topic
 
Knowing koldt, WP, and TDC (now that I realized who he is). I would value their comments on a number of things.

I generally try to stay away from internet dogpiles, but OIC I would suggest that in this respect your just pouring gasoline on yourself after you lit the match.
No idea on how holsters popped up in this thread, but I would recommend going into listening silence for a bit. Its always better to be thought a fool, than opening your mouth and proving it.
 
Fair enough however although it's the net it's uncalled for to make assumptions of people you don't know personally and to carry on like a child. I've reviewed the sites rules and they've been broken on several accounts without disciplinary action to me rules are meant to be followed. I'll bow out of thread and hope some can learn from their mistakes and improper behavior, and become better people moving forward.
 
Dude, your missing the point.

Your arguing points with folks that are a lot more experienced than you, and in the case of koldt and WP, carry weapons for a living for year, and in Koldt's case back to the flintlock ;)
 
Kevin did you read back in thread?, I was not arguing the topic or anything against what was said technically. If you or anyone goes back not once was I arguing anything technical or challenging anyone's experience here.

I haven't argued anyone's intelligence at all not do I care what they do for a living. What I did was point out that there was no need to call anyone a retard or to deeply condescend people rather help them out as a newcomer. I dont give a crap if someones a president theyre no better then anyone else imo. I made a post "diff thread btw" realizing later I missed some responses and yea it looked foolish big deal. Then WP trolled there to telling me I needed a helmet and other childish crap, brought it here end of story. I don't take s**t from people who don't know me and go on being keyboard warriors. Sorry for defending others and myself in the process. I have no problems with anyone as I don't know then but tit for tat as they say I'm not some COD kid off the street or just going to lay down and roll over.

As said I'm out please carry on without myself being referenced and I'll leave it be simple. All that said hope everyone has a good day.
