Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the PSA STG44 disappointing?

The PSA STG44 is considered disappointing primarily due to its high price point, with pre-orders at $1,799 and expected increases to over $2,000, leading many to question its value compared to more affordable and functional firearms available on the market.

Why is the Inland Manufacturing M1 Carbine considered a disappointment?

The Inland M1 Carbine, despite being a reproduction of a classic, suffers from significant reliability issues, experiencing frequent jams (2-10 per 50 rounds). This, coupled with its $1,200 price tag, makes it a disappointing choice for many shooters.

What are the main criticisms of the Standard Manufacturing S333 Thunderstruck Volley Fire?

The S333 Thunderstruck Volley Fire is criticized for its impractical design, including an extremely stiff trigger pull and inaccurate, molded-on sights. These factors make accurate shooting difficult, rendering its unique double-shot feature less appealing.

How does the Smith & Wesson Model 350 perform with .350 Legend ammunition?

The Smith & Wesson Model 350, despite being chambered in .350 Legend, significantly underperforms due to its short 7.5-inch barrel. This reduces the muzzle velocity and energy of the .350 Legend round to levels weaker than many standard .44 Magnum loads.

What is the main concern regarding the Glock 47?

The primary concern with the Glock 47 is its perceived lack of a distinct purpose. Critics argue that combining a Glock 19 slide with a Glock 47 frame essentially creates a Glock 45, raising questions about why a separate model was necessary.
