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.

This is exactly correct.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.

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.
