All Guns, Ammunition, Ammo Makers, Gun Publications, Gun Makers & Gun Writers have at least some bad qualities and virtually all of them have several good qualities--it's up to each user to determine which is which and to decide what "good" they have to have and what "bad" they can tolerate. (Choices involve compromise.)
That's it.

Ok, ok, if you're feeling let down, here are some related ramblings to go along with the review.
Anyone who says a Gun, Ammunition, Ammo Maker, Gun Publication, Gun Maker or Gun Writer has no problems is either extremely naive or is intentionally misleading you. (Nothing's perfect.)
Anyone who says a Gun, Ammunition, Ammo Maker, Gun Publication, Gun Maker or Gun Writer is purely bad with absolutely no value is probably either extremely naive or is intentionally misleading you. (Free enterprise makes it highly unlikely--though theoretically possible--for a commodity to have absolutely no redeeming qualities.)
Anyone who makes a statement about a Gun, Ammunition, Ammo Maker, Gun Publication, Gun Maker or Gun Writer and feels the need to include an insult that applies to those who disagree is probably operating more from emotion than fact and should be considered an unreliable source. (When facts speak, insults are unnecessary.)
Anyone who reacts to a fact based statement (positive or negative) about a Gun, Ammunition, Ammo Maker, Gun Publication, Gun Maker or Gun Writer as if it were a personal insult is probably operating more from emotion than fact and should be considered an unreliable source. (However, care should be exercised to differentiate exasperation from defensiveness.)
This place would be a lot more informative & useful if we could all get our minds wrapped around the idea that:
1. It's not about finding the perfect Gun, Ammunition, Ammo Maker, Gun Publication, Gun Maker or Gun Writer but rather it's about comparing the relative merits of imperfect guns, gun manufacturers, gun publications and gun writers with the understanding that not everyone's assessment of "merit" is identical.
2. My choices do not diminish you nor do your choices diminish me. There's a reason why the word "personal" is in both "personal preference" and "personal opinion". It's entirely possible for two people to disagree without either one of them being wrong.
P.S. Anyone who disagrees with any of the above is an A-1 double-flush, molded ceramic ninny!
