As previously stated, no one cares how old you are, how long you've been a forum member, and what you're going to do to destroy the guns you buy that don't pass your ammo torture tests[emoji849]. God had a heck of a sense of humor when he blessed off on your somehow getting oxygen however many years ago that happened.
Stated in my posts that I have a Shield, it's a very good firearm in the short time I've had it, and I'll EDC it occasionally when I run enough rounds through it. It's a carry forum Einstein and we all have different guns and uses for them.
Your politics may be similar to mine but you are proof that there are absolute wastes of skin on both sides of the arguments and political issues aside, I have nothing in common with limp wrists that have forum names that they think makes them them something they likely are the exact opposite of. You'll never be the man your Mom was Ping Pong.
Tried hard to see your post from your perspective but it's obvious I'd never be able to put my head that far up my own butt so recommend you don't buy guns that you don't know jack about in the future and you'll be less disappointed and won't have to scrap them, DA.
