    I have no problem with someone having a Prada or LV bag or Gucci suit. If they have the money and can afford it, more power to them. And those bags and suits probably last a lot longer than the cheapo ones.

    The problem is those who buy the knock-off LV or Prada bags that are imposters. They do so to look cool, but don't have the real deal and they know it but hope no one else knows it.

    While I may quietly, to myself, wonder about some gear I see on a gun. I am in no position to say anything. I am a mere peon learning as I go. There may be lots of valid reasons for what he has on his gun.

    The biggest "Gucci" guns are those with knock-off gear on them meant to look good. IF the guy says, I have the primaryarms red dot because that is all I can afford, though I know it is not the best item, I can respect that. The guy who has the primaryarms red dot and says it is as good as the T-1 is the guy I have to wonder about.

    You should have stuck with your gut. My contention is that it's WAY outside my lane to be judging anyone's gear, requested or not. I further illustrated it with some sarcasm...

    This is exactly correct.

    Quite honestly it's ****ing retarded to judge someone else's selection of gear. Some guys say an Aimpoint T-1 is not needed, and others draw the line at a PEQ and NODS. Some guys think A2 sights are not needed and the A1's are good enough, etc.

    Quit judging other people's gear, and use what works for you.

    Tacticool, Gucci, etc are crutches for the weak. Discuss it like a ****ing grown man and articulate why something won't work for you. Or better yet, stay in your lane and talk strictly about your gear and why it DOES work for you.

    That's my rant for this AM.

    People attempt to apply these terms to other people's stuff, and honestly, they are in no position to judge what you or I, or anyone else, including a recreational AR shooter, has on their gun.

    When asked the purpose of a white light on my AR, "I have it there because it makes me smile." What can anyone say to that?

    That's stupid? That's tacticool? That's so Gucci? They can FOAD.



    I don't care about his IR laser or the EoTech. I think the thing that makes his gun "Gucci Gear" is that camo paint job and the KAC BUIS.

    Why can't he just use a black gun and YHM like the rest of us?
    snob!

    All ARs need Krylon..... "cammo" is the new "black".

    A Gucci Gun stops being a Gucci Gun when the guy behind it makes faster hits at longer range than the guy next to him with a cheap POS gun having its version of hacking up a hairball.

    Don't get me wrong, there's still some of the syndrome of buying top end stuff and running out of budget (like buying a Gucci purse and having nothing to put in it) where hardware is emphasized to the exclusion of the software component of the equation. I'm guilty of this, but I'll own up to the fact that I'll get handily outshoot by a great shot and a plain old A2.
