Some of you guys have probably heard the saying "I can't afford to be cheap". Well, guns absolutely epitomize that doctrine. I'll burn $2 on some second-rate dish soap, but I can't afford guns that fail.
It is odd; those that are really into firearms, are really into firearms. They are on this site and other forums, and there's a lot of good information once you learn to sift through all of what is posted.
Conversely, the vast majority of firearms "consumers" know and research little before purchasing, and get most of their information to base their purchase decision on from their LGS.......which is a poor place to get info, usually.
