You know how pets resemble their owners, and how other drivers perceive BMW
drivers as being type A?
So, there seems to be a feeling that one can tell a lot about a person from
the friends they keep, from the pets they have or from what they drive (or
ride).
Is that true with handguns? Can you tell a lot about a person from what they
shoot?
For example, someone who shoots revolvers is a no nonsense type of person who
is not easily swayed by trends and abides by the notion, "If it ain't broke,
don't fix it".
A 1911 aficionado, me included may be ex-Military or retired Marine (because
there's no such thing as ex-Marine) who may be a traditionalist and shoots
45 ACP because they don't make 46 ACP and may be a little set in his ways.
A Sig aficionado may be a police officer. He carries a Sig at work and have
grown to trust it. Loyalty is important to this personality type.
Glock shooters ... perhaps a mixed bag.
CZ shooters are the type that like to find a diamond in the rough and may
be in a sense a diamond in the rough themselves, perhaps with varying
degrees of roughness and diamond-ness.
Is there some truth to this train of thought? Can you tell a lot about a person
from what firearm they prefer?
Cheers,
Jae
