What is your Biggest Pet Peeve

And to that I am grateful the Mods here, and on other forums I hit, have a "Notify the manufacturer before you bitch" policy, and enforce it.

So they can have balls smacking them in the mouth whenever they walk?

Well that is just a sign that they don't have any balls. Likely the guy, if one is inclined to call a eunuch a guy, who is rocking those is also the same person who is too scared to carry their gun with one in the chamber because they are afraid that it might just magically go off while in the holster.

And while on the subject of being scared of their guns, not sure if it has been mentioned, but gun forums and other shooters in general who are willing to coddle or stroke another shooter's ego, be them a new shooter, or otherwise, because they are afraid of hurting their feelings. I shit you not, saw a guy post a 10 shot 25 yard group a long while back on another forum that had to be at least 6 inches across. Guy wanted to know if it was good shooting and everyone was telling him how it was great, awesome, real precision work. I was the first to ask how he shot it, bench, or off hand, because depending that would affect my judgement, but in neither case it wasn't a super precision group. Another example was the guy who was afraid of carrying a 1911 cocked and locked and a bunch of dumbasses telling him how it was fine to carry hammer down on an empty chamber, how the Israeli's do that and are super ninja killers with no equal, and even one special dumb ass who claimed he could draw and rack a 1911 ONE HANDED and fire before ANYONE could draw and fire from a non-concealed holster and how it was faster and bunches of other bullshit. I spent half an hour typing a response basically calling everyone who coddled the little shit a dumb ass, and how their advice was ****ing stupid, breaking their fantasies with reality, and bringing in real world facts. I also challenged the one special dipshit to a draw competition for his gun of which he never did reply, and breaking down to teh OP that they needed to seek out professional training if they were not proficient with their choice of carry gun, and possibly look at another model if they were scared of a cocked hammer, and the whole major issue with the idea of thinking that under stress they were going to be able to draw rack and fire while being bum rushed, regardless what sir dickhead claimed, and just because the Isreali's did it didn't make it good, wise, or smart. I was basically told by one member that it wasn't nice to call someone or something stupid. My response broke down to, well if you are giving someone advice that could cost them or others there lives then I had no qualms about calling anyone stupid or hurting their feelings. That was the end of that particular thread.

Instructors that act like they walk on water. I've been teaching for two decades for the military and now for a training company in the state of Florida. I'm the newest in th company and still feel like I have a lot to learn but I love it when someone with a newly minted NRA pistol instructor rating who has never even been on a podium tells us everything we are doing wrong.

That reminds me: Anyone who uses bullshit lines about SEALS, SOF, USMC, the Israelis, etc to justify their usually very questionable methods.

Also: Anyone into firearms who uses their knowledge (real or imagined) as a backstop for their ego. This is usually done at the expense of a newcomer to shooting, or some aspect of shooting. They just can't wait to point out how much they know and/or what you're doing wrong. These people exist in every community, but for some reason they seem especially prevalent among "gun guys". We all know the type- there's honest advice, and then there's the gratuitous ego tripper. The best gun stores, instructors, and competitive shooters I know all know how to maintain their humility, even while pointing out something completely idiotic that I or someone else might have done.

BCG and CH not included.

Yeah, the "bcg and ch not included" gets pretty irritating.

I agree with the overwhelming majority of posts here. I'll add;

1.) Items advertised in the EE as "New," and upon further reading find that is was only fired/carried/mounted/USED ONCE! Umm...that's not NEW!

2.) The fact that people still spend $600+ on bottom of the barrel ARs when Colt OEMs can be had for $730 shipped. Even more depressing, when people ask you what they should buy and you give them all of the advice and proper direction one could ever want and two days later you get a picture of an S&W MP15 "Optics Ready" carbine via text that says "Check it out! What sights fit this?"

Black licorice and people who claim to like that nasty chit.

-cheap optics and this goes beyond AR style rifles
-cheap guns choking on steel cased boom pills
-high speed,low drag talk from a guy with a bibod on his DPMS.
-THAT GUY at training classes that doesnt show up on day two because they ran his all knowing mouth out of there. Big thank you to you instructors for doing that. Im not a newbie, and Im not some great tactician , but pay good money to work with people who are better than me...helps me get better.
-Guys who say I over paid for an HK when they show me their Hipoint, XD or something I have never heard of.
-People who open carry at the range with a 10 mag load out on their belt and dont shoot any of it before packing up their Escalade.

Rabid liberal retards who want to ban guns.
