Everyone is going to rave about what they own and dump on everything else. If somebody had one problem with a particular model, they automatically discount that make and evry model they make. It's not going to change. Firearms tend to be a very big "pride" thing and most will shoot down one while they brag up another. If it's mine, it's priceless, if it's someone elses, it's worth $20. Happens all the time. Just way too many "experts" that believe everything they read in the gun mags. I have my personal favorites but I'm not going to dump on another make/model just becasue I don't own one or know of a probelm one had. there are makes I won't own just becasue I do demand a minimum amount of quality. There are some models I won't own because I don't neccessarily like the overall look or feel. I know I disagree with what some think and say but hey, to each thier own. I buy what I like, you buy what you like and we're all happy. No reason to dump on each other.
