General GunTuber thread

Yes. I would say they've moved past the actions of a man who's been dead for two fucking decades.
It isn't about moving on, as it is about refusing to let that part of the past be erased. As the Ruger company, NRA and other supposedly pro-2nd Amendment organizations had gave Bill Ruger a pass and venerating him fucking over the 2nd Amendment.

What did he mean by this?
 
Hope Hop's cat makes it. Pets are uber expensive.

Wasn't he simping for kikes, immigrants, and fags not 6 months ago?
For a millennial, this guy always had a very boomer worldview. This is a welcome improvement, provided he doesn't Notice his way into a full schizo meltdown.
 
I thought it was a Barry reference. Damn, that channel went to shit after Barry croaked.
That's what I first thought just out of habit but Eric has been leaning harder into politics ever since he joined the ranks of GunTube's finest shopping network experience.

Bill Ruger didn't hurt the company at the time anyways, it wasn't until long after his death that the Bill Ruger hate really started to gain steam and by that time the company had already backslid on his fuddism and made moves in the market. Ruger makes a high quality product at a very good price that can often beat out their competition and frankly that's the most important thing in most business but in firearms especially. The only things they were late on were wonder nines and ARs but they do so well in every other market they almost don't need either of those things. Their revolvers were as good or better than S&W at a better price, the 10/22 is a juggernaut and always has been, their P95 semi auto pistol (at least where I live) still are beloved as truck guns and cabin guns because they're built like bricks and cheap, the Mini series is the ultimate ban state rifle and was the preferred gun of SHTF survivalist weirdos and off-grid types for decades, and the M77 rifle has always been a super solid gun. The more modern products they've come out with since old Billy boy's death have just continued Ruger's legacy of success in the market, regardless of the owner making the occasional comment that looks completely retarded in hindsight.
 
When Bill Ruger did his "no honest man needs more than 10 round" spiel he was probably in the majority of gun owners. Most people were Fuds until at least the 80's, and in a lot of places even wanting a handgun was considered to be like suspect and anti-social.

I prefer Ruger revolvers to Smiths pretty strongly. Colts are nicer but they better be for 2-3x the price. The P series pistols also get a lot of love around her. My only gripe about ruger semi autos is I wish they'd make something for more than 5 or 10 years before discontinuing it and going on to the next model. Ruger American rifles are fucking slick too.

Precisely, and I think a lot of millenials/zoomers/alphas don't know this. Bill Ruger wasn't some ass backwards old fuddy duddy, he *was* the voice of the gun owners of the time. Pistols are for police officers and criminals, "assault rifles" doubly so.

Not a fan of Colt revolvers tbh. They're nice enough but I don't like the grips very much, they've got that same problem Smiths do where they're way too narrow. Plus I like the button release of Ruger revolvers as opposed to the sliding release of Smiths and Colts.

I have a P95. It's the funniest gun I own because the slide cycles so slowly. It feels like some kind of sci-fi pistol firing some unholy magnum round only a supersoldier could handle, but it's just basic bitch 9x19 and barely recoiling. I'm not sure if that's true of all P-series guns, or if I just need to replace the recoil spring, but it fires every time and it's funny, so I've just left it as-is.

My P95 has been through hell and back. I have beaten the shit out of it in every deer camp from here to the Boundary Waters and I still use it as my CC because I bought it for about ninety bucks used so I don't care if it ends up in an evidence locker if I ever need to use it. Thing's a hoot on range days too. And I also use it as my camp gun in my kayak, had to fish it off the bottom of the river once after the boat turned over and the clip didn't hold it to the boat. That was fun.
 
Oh one more thing about my P95. I've actually forgotten how to pull the fucker apart since I literally just run a bore brush through it and then put a couple spots of oil on the frame rails and that's all it's ever needed barring the couple hours it spent in the river.

You need to push down the extractor bar before disassembling it like a 1911. I recently bought a P89 Decocker for $220 and it took me like 15 minutes to figure that out.

A lot of them needed the feed ramp polished to function with hollow points, but that was extremely common on any gun made before like 2005. (I think a lot of younger people also don't remember that one of the ways Glock built the reputation they have was by being able to cycle whatever dogshit ammo or insane hollow point you put in it at a time when it was common for guns to be picky about ammo). I think a lot of it is also that modern hollow points just have a better profile.

Thanks friend.

Modern hollowpoints are far less flat nosed than older designs, but JHPs were also another thing that up until fairly recently were only for cops and criminals. Honest people don't need JHPs up until about the early 2010's or late aughts and so it wasn't a huge issue. But yes, mine did need a polishing, but that's a fairly easy thing to do.

He was the voice only because there's wasn't the internet for most people back then. When the mid 90ies and the internet came around those "people," went on a fudd purge. As you're and others here are repeating fudd propaganda of there's only fudd Americans. Who just so happened to despise the 2nd Amendment (for the lesser people) as much as the gun banners.

When Bill Ruger did his "no honest man needs more than 10 round" spiel he was probably in the majority of gun owners.
Bill Ruger said 15 rounds and Clinton had stiff him with the 10 rounds magazine limit instead of what was as agreed upon.

Most people were Fuds until at least the 80's, and in a lot of places even wanting a handgun was considered to be like suspect and anti-social.
Those "people" who were fudds weren't the average John and Jane Doe, especially outside of the bughives and political offices. As it is their political and bughive elite who held the position of the "people" don't need any 2nd Amendment rights.
