This gun (not mine, it belongs to a friend of mine):
Has but 2 reasons to exist. The first is to blast apart large containers of water. The other is to do this: 
while doing that. To all the purists: You better be damned GLAD I altered the rifle. It ups the collector value of the other 30-something MILLION of these that are out there.

The people who buy the Judge and tell me all the bullshit they heard about it on the internet, and tell my customers to buy a Judge because you don't have to aim it; they give me a headache. The Mossberg tacticool line offends my sensibilities. They give the impression that Mossber has the opinion,"Those dopes will buy anything as long as it's matte black and it has rails on it." Imagine if Mossberg made a hunting rifle that came with a scope and one cartridge and marketed it to people who wanted to go hunting and not shoot the gun until they see a deer. It's for guys who want to run around the woods with a loaded rifle and no idea what they're doing. A flat, black lever action with a telestock and multiple rails is the same thing. |

The arguing that used to go on fairly constantly about .380 and, well pretty much any handgun that wasn't a Smith, 1911, or Glock, was a good example of that. Seemed like the only purpose some folks think a handgun could have was concealed carry. I have three .380's and none of them were bought for carry.
Counting hunting rifles, I might have half a dozen guns that were bought for a specific purpose.... Maybe not that many. Hell, I have three single action .45LC revolvers and no use for any of them. I once bought a Ruger Single Six because I only had one .22 revolver. That was a good enough reason for me. Guns are fun. I like buying new toys, and shooting one for the first time is a neat feeling. The ones that don't make me smile that first time don't stay around for long, but that's rare (Mauser M2 and Mini-14 are two that leap to mind) Purpose? To help me and my sons enjoy being in the mountains together. Once defense is taken care of, can anyone think of a better purpose? |

Honestly, I fall into that group. I don't get my feelings hurt but for some reason, every gun has to have a reason to be in my collection. I am not in much of a collecting mood lately, I'm just into mags and ammo, no more guns for a while.
To me, I don't want to start getting "fun guns" until the bases are covered in my book. Must haves are at least one AR15 in 5.56 12GA shotgun 9mm Pistol for that can be carried daily .22LR Rifle and an extra one for me, would be a .45acp handgun that can be carried daily. Everything else is for "sport" or whatever. Right now, I have one fun gun that is going to become my HD rifle and that's my Daniel Defense DDM4V5 300 blackout rifle. In the future the guns that have really no purpose that I would like to have are Judge PPK NAA .22 revolver |

To the OP's question, I think the guns are OK, I guess I have more of a problem with the marketing and the people that will buy into it. For example the judge, is a fine self defense gun if using 45 colt and a good trail gun with the 410 option. Where it fails is how it is marketed is using .410 bird shot for self defense. Ammo makers are even making defense ammo for it. Not a problem with the gun, just the marketing. Mossberg's chainsaw shotgun just seems dangerous to me. Their tacticool 30-30 I have no real problems with it per se, but I will laugh at someone that owns it.

It is setting up to be a major issue in the divorce. Way I see it from reading posts here over teh years, married couples budget in one of two ways They have seperate accounts that their respective paychecks to to, split the bills down the middle and anything thats left over is theirs to do with as they please. They have a joint account that everything goes into and everything is paid out of. Anything left over is spent by agreement It hasn't been that way here in 20 years and its an issue.

My liberal mother used to say "guns are not toys!" every time I wanted a cap gun, water pistol, BB gun, etc. and it's fairly annoying to continue hearing that as a 44 year old married father. |
