  "Full Of It"? Take This
Shameless Plugs For Selected Pistols
 
                     
   
                     
 

Did you guys see that letter to me in the May/June issue (Speak Out, “The Whinery”) on page 16? This diplomat starts off with “Connor, you’re full of it!” and goes on to accuse me — and the rest of the Handgunner crew, apparently — of bein’ suck-up sycophants for gun manufacturers; pimps for the pistol-makers. He named my Jan/Feb 2010 column specifically, where I tootled about the triggers on Ruger’s LCR and the SIG P250 Compact. Yeah, that one.

Here’s how I know (a) he’s not a regular reader — not of this column, anyway — and (b) what he’s full of. In seven years writin’ this diary, I think I’ve mentioned maybe a half-dozen specific handguns. That must make me the poorest pistol-pimp on the boulevard, wouldn’t ya think? I bet you can guess why I said what I did about ’em … cause it’s true, and it’s good! If you tried those triggers, what did you think? Whether either of those guns fit your needs or not, did you get the same kind of impressions I did? Just curious …

Now, to achieve two goals — first, to stick it up The Whiner’s snoot, and second, to answer a question readers have asked many times in different forms, essentially this: “The balloon goes up, Connor, and you must reach into your heap o’ handguns and grab just one. Which one would it be?” Stand by to get pimped-to-the-max, folks! After all, I’m just a suck-up sycophant.
