Why would anyone give a fuck about what some old man at the gun store thinks? Buy what you want and enjoy it, you get to go home but he's still stuck there. I don't care about asshole employees, I'm just there to get what I want. That being said, they guys at my store are hilarious. They were talking about how many fingers the doctor used for their prostate exams.

Do you live in AZ? Did you go to Randall's Firearms?
Fuck those niggers, I was scolded for using the slide release on a gun I was looking at.
I handed him the gun and walked out, fuck those old faggots.
Funny thing is I read a review of them online and there was like 3 other similar reviews online and tons of other complaints about how rude those guys are.

>>31171090
Not a time I was embarrassed but I embarrassed a wannabe know it all employee at a Gander mountain one time:

Oh well this is an amazing rifle, great deal, comes with 300rds of this premium Tula ammo, the stock, the bipod.

some guns stores are just old boys clubs. they're not really there to sell and only stay afloat by random customers that put with their shit and never come back, and members of the boy club that buy a gun every month to "support local business".

gun shop employees tend to try and sell revolvers to women
they also give a lot more attention to women because they're horny old fucks

>>31171932
There's a reason for that. Revolvers are simple machines, akin to women.

>>31171369
You're supposed to pull the slide back anon, not flip the switch

This.
They are called slide STOPS, not slide RELEASES. Too many cod kiddies trying to mimick tv and games. It is akin to flipping a revolver shut.

No, it ISN'T, because it won't damage your gun to do that, whereas flipping a revolver shut will.

Thank you for your cervix.

>>31172651
wat

>>31171369
Yeah, it's common firearm courtesy to not make any slam and click noises on a gun that isn't yours. Because technically, ramming the slide without a casing to "cushion" the metal on metal contact is bad for a weapon. Is it fuddlore? Most likely, but the courtesy factor is relevant imho.

>>31172732

>>31172289
You're a special kind of stupid desu senpai. Slide stops on handguns are intended to be used the same as the bolt release on AR-15s. Who the fuck did you get this load of shit from?

>times youve embarrassed yourself at a gun store

I had to fill out my last 4473 7 times before I got one that was considered acceptable to the clerk. Apparently whoever deals with their forms is a real dick. All mistakes were minor X'ed when I should have checked, abbreviated something in the address, etc..

>>31172757
I would destroy you. I'm 6'3" and 215 lbs. You will like the weight of me when I pin you down and violently fuck you in your ass. I will cum all over your back and then smack your ass.

>>31172737
In theory, you'll wear down the slide lock, especially the corner

By pulling back, the slide drops on its own, as opposed to scraping along the frame, thus giving less wear

>>31172278
fun fact there is no actual record of any of these actually being used

probably because it's a stupid idea

>>31172809
>in theory

Is there any evidence of a slide lock being worn down by releasing the slide this way? Even if that were true, it would probably take thousands upon thousands of instances of doing this to cause any noticeable wear.

>scraping along the frame
Seriously doubt that this actually happens any worse one way or the other

>>31172208
>>31172070
>>31171932
Also don't forget. Some casual women shooters with like zero grip or upper strength tend to limp wrist a lot more or have trouble racking the slide. So there is a minor benefit for those kind of shooters to use revolvers.

>>31172782
>215lbs

Just try and catch me boyo, I only fuck men who work for it.

>>31172289
>>31172702
I'll pretend for a second you two are right and that a gun at a store would be racked back enough times for long enough that it would actually wear anything down.
Full on bitching at a potential customer is a stupid fucking thing to do. If they had just said something like "please don't do that, it could damage the gun" I would have laughed in my head but complied with their request and actually would have bought my gun there. I ended up going out of my way to a gun store twice as far away from me as Randall's to buy the gun I wanted that day. I have also done that with every single transfer, ammo and gun purchase since.

Is that true? Shouldn't a revolver be made robustly enough that it can be slammed shut, similar to how magazines in rifles can be slammed in or charging handles are to be yanked as quickly as possible?

>>31172930


Revolvers are simpler machines to use.

>>31172960
It really does amaze me that revolvers were invented before automatics.

meanwhile literally what is complicated about an automatic? put the metal bar in (that you cant fuck up because it only goes in one way) pull the slide back like in the movies, and bang bang bang with like a 2lbs trigger pull. if it stops working, 90% of stoppages can be solved by taking the magazine out and racking it a bunch of times.

>>31172927
I fantasize about putting my cock in your mouth. It would be so hot if you slowly sucked my dick while I pet your head. I would finger your ass while you moan with my cock in your mouth. I would then blow a huge load in your mouth and make out with you while the load is still in your mouth. We would then swap the cum in and out of each other's mouths while we stroke each other's cocks. I'm getting so hard thinking about it and I'm getting even harder knowing how bad you want it.

i did the same thing at basic when first handed a pistol. everyone did. those springs really are strong enough that you feel like you're not doing something right for it to be that hard.

i dont think it's a strength thing, I think it's a latent fear that you actually have some catch or another engaged and that without some 'trick' you're going to break it if you force it.

Dude, I'm not disagreeing with you. All I'm saying is no matter what if the gun isn't yours, there is a standard of etiquette that is to be followed. For instance, just because your shoes are clean and someone asks you to take them off because their carpet may get dirty even though you know it won't, the courtesy factor is still at hand. Not saying the clerk should feel entitled to be a smarmy douche, but you get my drift.

>>31172975
You can ruin the timing of the revolver by bogarting it everytime you load it. That can be potentially dangerous for the user.

Lel all these tards claiming "no guns" because it is not advised to use a slide stop as a slide release. Try that with a 1911, especially on an empty chamber, shop owner will beat your ass because it is especially bad to 1911's.

there are actually both, ones that are intended only as stops and larger levers that are meant for releasing the slide while aiming.

>>31173334
Yep, I picked up ones with the heaviest springs for some reason when I first started looking, and had to figure out how to work them left handed. I was looking at one of the really stiff new compacts and the owner said "Careful with that one, it'll catch you..."
Then the fucking thing slammed shut on my weak hand when I finally hit the stop correctly. Lesson learned, scar obtained. I was the third person in a row too. Bought the other one.

Remember, the first revolvers were far more mechanically simple (and less safe) than modern ones.

>>31176536
HURR DURRR, if it was bad to dry fire rim fire guns manufacturers would make it so you can't pull the trigger without a round.
God kids need to actually learn about these tools or they shouldn't be allowed to touch them.
No wonder the left thinks gun owners are nuts, half of /k/ is flipping cylinders shut and slapping slide stops like its a fucking 80's action first person shooter game.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

>>31175982
It's not advised to release the slide stop on an empty chamber 1911 because it is incredibly harsh on the barrels pivot pin, link, and the pin that holds the barrel in place(which is a part of the slide stop). It has nothing to to do with the slide stop function itself, having the slide hit a round in the magazine and force that round into the chamber slows the slide movement enough that it doesn't damage the parts I mentioned before.

I had one incident so far, although it was more weird than embarrassing:

>Ordered my very first gun on Gun Broker and had it delivered to my local FFL
>Gun arrives roughly over one week later because dipshit seller waited the maximum 5 days before shipping it out

>It's factory new; I'm not worried about taking it down to examine it, so I do the typical once over with the finish and bore, do a basic functions test, etc
>I used one of the empty mags and fed it into the gun to test the mag release, tapping the base plate which caused an audible click

Gander Mountain fucking sucks with gun pricing. I just bought a S&W M&P-15 Sport II at a local gun store for $599, my first rifle, which seemed like a fucking steal because I usually saw them going for $700-$750.

About a week later I was walking around a gander mountain looking for a gun cabinet and some other shit. I went up to the gun counter to ask an employee for help and glanced over his shoulder at the ARs behind him. They had M&P-15 Sport IIs going for $950 I swear to god. I don't know who in their right mind would spend that much money on an entry-level, non-customized AR, but Gander Mountain must think its customers are fucking retarded. The other shit they had in-store seemed reasonably priced, but I'm never going to buy a firearm from a Gander Mountain.

Also make sure you never take up some clerks offer to show you how to disassemble a 1911 unless you want to stand there for 20 minutes and watch him fail to compress the recoil spring.

>>31179742
>Fail to compress the recoil spring.

Does he try to put the recoil spring plug in before inserting the slide stop? Putting in the recoil spring plug is the first and last thing I do when stripping mine.

>>31179806
No he just had weak baby hands and the gun was brand new so the spring was still stiff. Eventually I had to do it for him.

What retards. Gun shops like this need to go out of business.

This instance wasn't at a gun shop, but at a gun show. It was about a year after the September 11th incident, and it was the first gun show that I had ever been to. About 10 minutes in, a wasp that had crawled up my pant leg decided that my ass deserved to die. I was within reach of a table that was showing tasers and stun guns, and the guy was zapping the air every few minutes. I was waiting for him to light me up, while I was trying to hurry my way through the crowd. I had about a dozen welts on my ass and thighs.

As for the terminology, a Google search on that part demonstrated that it seems to be called a slide lock, slide release, and slide stop. I don’t know who the standard for firearms terminology would be, but “release” seems to be the vernacular.

You’re getting a lot of hate for this, but I’m mostly with you.

I found early on with my Jericho that using the slide release to chamber a round would fail to load it about 25% of the time. I got into the habit of pulling the slide back on each reload to guarantee I chamber a round. Made pic related to send to a friend to demonstrate it. You can see on the third run the slide release doesn’t work reliably.

Also found these articles on it:

Exactly. The deer in the headlights customer should make them excited. Not only am I going to get to tell you about the wonderful world of guns. You are going to give me money and buy things I say are good. It comes down to hiring the right culture really. Don't hire fudds, hire waiters that know how to get you to add desert to your check and give them a good wage and bonus program. That or only work with people bought in somehow. The lgs I talked about had it down to the point where a nogunz mom type who had heard about the scary AR15 and came to get educated and comfortable with the rifle because her kid liked shooting or was going to be a cop or something. They brought out the gun and let her have coffee with it before sitting down and going over function and safety. Now she's bringing her whole family in for safety class. I'm telling you there is a lot of money that gets left on the table for small retailers because there behave like Walmart Lite without the discounts.

there was a period when it wasnt so bad, then recently all these other attacks got people freaked out again. It hasnt been this bad since the early 2000s for me

Was still annoyed when I found out. And being it was in NY I was limited to a 10rd mag, no flash suppressor, fixed "collapsible" stock. In retrospect it was a bad purchase. Might sell it to a LEO buddy back in NY and get a new AR that isn't cucked.

>>31171111
There are ollder guys where I go to shoot, its a store/range, and I would always have a rough time there because they are good ol boys that deal with retards all day

After spending some time on the range and buying a few guns from them they can see that i buy 'the right' guns and they give me discounts without even me asking. Just bought another rifle from them and the guy dropped off almost a hundred bucks off the price.

>Pro-tip: Dont ask for discounts, you dont barter at your grocery store or at starbucks, and you spend lots of money there.

>>31181456
Then I am totally fucked, although I've been carrying a wallet since 13 and I haven't lost it yet at 27. I check my pockets every time I stand up or get done paying for something. Form good habits and value your wallet over your life and you should be fine.

>>31182143
I've only ever paid sticker price for a gun once, and the guys at my LGS's are still cool. Guns, cars, and houses you can get away with haggling, and if you go to a local farmer's market you can probably haggle and barter there as well.

>>31182129

Generally the rule is to leave mags out so it's very obvious they are unloaded. I would have poked my head up to just to see what was going on and to ensure the guy didn't just put a loaded mag in there to try to rob the store or off himself

>>31173334

I'm ashamed to say I once broke the firing pin safety plunger lever on a series 80 1911 because I forced the slide back on while the lever was still up.

I also didn't realize I broke anything because the gun still functions just fine with a snapped lever, except for the fact that the firing pin never unlocks and goes forward when you pull the trigger. So when I took it and a couple other guns to the range later that day, I was confused as to why it did not fire whatsoever.

Took it apart, and just face palmed when I realized what I had done.

If I had done a proper pencil test, or just looked at the linkage, I would have realized the issue. Then again, if I didn't try to force something like a retard, it would have never happened in the first place.

I hate it when shops are like that. I have a few LGS in my area and 2/3 of them are great. There is the tactical one that sells tacticool ars and aks as well as some milsurp and fudd guns on consignment. The guys there are friendly, helpful, and almost always have cheap .22 in stock. They also carry lots of ammo and jelly bean parts for ARs. Plus everything to fulfill gear queer needs. The other good LGS is a family run place. It is mostly fudd guns but they carry AR parts a couple ARs and AKs. They have some ammo, mostly hunting stuff but also some milsurp. They are the nicest people I have ever met in a gun shop. It is an older man, his daughter and his two sons that run the place. Super helpfull, friendly, and chill, and they dont charge out the ass for things It is like if Hickock45 owned a gun shop. Then there is the worst LGS to ever grace the face of this earth. Take all the bad stories on /k/ and roll them into 1 gun shop and this is what you get. The staff is a mix of retarded fudds and james yeagers with downs syndrome. Everything is overpriced they want 18.99 for 100cci mini mags. They have a mix of tacticool and fudd stuff but all of it is overpriced. They also have an indoor range. It is an ok range but dealing with the staff isnt worth it when I could drive to blm land in less time and for less money. A couple months ago some guy offed himself in the range the local joke is it was because he decided it was easier to kill himself than deal with the staff. The chain stores we have here arnt bad they are usually a bit over priced but reasonably so and the staff is usually pretty neutral and at least compotent.

I never know what to really do when a LGS clerk hands me a gun I ask to see. I just kind of awkwardly stare at it in my hands. Honestly I just buy online for everything now to avoid this awkwardness, gladly pay the $20 transfer fee. I always know exactly what I want anyway.

So you ARE new, is what you're saying.

Anyway, on topic, here's a story of me making a fool out of myself at my LGS

>"so what's the law with silencers, anyway, anon?"
>I turn to LGS owner
>"so what's the law with silencers, sir?"
>he talks for literally 30 minutes straight about how the laws WERE, how they are NOW, how he expects them to be in 5 years, the benefits and detriments to having a trust vs buying without one

Don't get me wrong, it was very informative, but my friend was bored to tears and a little assblasted that I wasted 30 minutes of potential range time discussing politics with some chubby FUDD with his gun attached to him with a wallet chain. Thus, I was mildly embarrassed to have asked.

If this story is accurate, you didn't fuck up, some shops just have shit-tier owners and employees. There's a shop/range near me that is notorious for being a bunch of elitist shit heads who only bend over backwards for law enforcement and ex-military types.

So for as long as I have been browsing /k/ (3 years or so), and being Irish, I just assumed LGS was some massive chain of American gun stores, like a Walmart for guns.

cabelas is an odd animal, at least with used guns they are either stupid overpriced or underpriced to the point that it makes you wonder if someone from fishing was filling in for the guy pricing guns that day. Some anon in a past thread worked at cabelas and said it has to do with how much they get the gun for, and usually you can negotiate it down sometimes a couple bills below sticker price.

Well the gun part is considered a separate store, the surplus stuff is ran by the surplus department. The only reason the gun employees had to deal with it is it's gun related. The gun section makes no money off the surplus stuff but has to load it and deal with it

The only bad lgs near where I go (close to WI-IL border) is the bass and pro. The smaller stores are pretty good. However, one store has 3 sks's going for $800-$900 each

>go to LGS to finally buy my first rifle
>kind of nervous because I don't want to come across like a weirdo fuck so I spent the night before researching everything I'll have to do (how to fill out the forms, whatever specific details about the gun I need, etc.)
>walk in and everything goes fine, I tell the clerk what I'm looking for and he picks it off the wall for me
>making small talk and then he asks me if I wanted any ammo
>I reply yes and ask where it is but I must have spoken too quietly or mumbled
>he mishears me and thinks I asked him what KIND of ammo it uses, and gives me a confused look like "why are you buying a gun if you don't even know what it shoots" and then tells me what round to look for
>grab a couple boxes from the ammo area and bring them back, the rest of the time he treats me like I'm kind of an idiot who doesn't know how guns work

I know it's a pretty dumb thing to get embarrassed about but it was my first time buying a gun and I didn't want to look like a dummy

I was beta af when I got my firearms licence
>wall in and buy like 3 guns, 10/22 being one of them
>you'd think the clerk would be friendly but he's not
>treats me like a kid, I was about 19 just got into guns
>I ask for "ammo for my .22"
>He says ok lets get some ""ammo"" for your .22
>says ammo like its an alien word, mocking me
>hands me several bricks of thunderbolt, says theyre on special
>me not knowing any better bought like 4 bricks
>also didnt do my research, didnt know about /k/ or other internet forums
>wanted a bolt action for funsies
>nugget would be perfect fit
>sells me a $1000 snowflake caliber browning
>get nervous, have more money then sense and buy it along with obscenely priced hunting ammo

Now I know to research thoroughly what I want and order stuff online

"Cowboying" the cylinder is terrrrrible for the revolver. I know it looks cool in fallout 3, but that's video games m8

I know this isn't the right thread but do you guys think the vp9 is any good. I've been looking into it and I really want to buy one

I lived in Lake County, and it's not bad there. Crook county is shit and pretty CA/NY-like, if not worse.
