Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current market trends for firearms according to TheFirearmGuy?

TheFirearmGuy observes that 9mm handguns with compensators and optics are currently the hottest trend. He also notes a perceived decline in the popularity of brands like Shadow Systems, while acknowledging the continued strength of 9mm as the dominant caliber in new handgun releases.

Which calibers does TheFirearmGuy consider impractical and why?

The .357 Sig caliber is deemed impractical due to its high cost and scarcity of ammunition, making it difficult for frequent range use. Similarly, .30 Super Carry faces challenges with ammo availability and price, hindering its widespread adoption.

What is TheFirearmGuy's favorite handgun currently?

The Bull Armory Tac 5 Pro is currently TheFirearmGuy's favorite handgun, described as 'dynamo' and praised for its crispness and pristine manufacturing. He considers it an exceptional firearm, even when comparing it to more expensive options.

What are TheFirearmGuy's thoughts on the 20 gauge shotgun?

The 20 gauge shotgun is considered underrated by TheFirearmGuy. He believes it offers comparable lethality to the 12 gauge with significantly less recoil, making it a versatile and effective option for various shooting applications.

Why does TheFirearmGuy criticize 'fanboy' attitudes in the firearms community?

TheFirearmGuy criticizes 'fanboy' attitudes because they often lead to definitive pronouncements of superiority based on limited experience. He emphasizes that true authority on a firearm comes from extensive testing and comparison across multiple models, not just exclusive use of one brand.
