          Yeah......

          Someone needs help clearing a malfunction..... but you should listen to their advice!!!!! Obviously, they're an expert!

          Like the guys next to me once at the public range... they set out clays at 300 yards- about a dozen clays.... about 15 shots, they FINALLY hit one, and shout, so everyone near them can hear it... "ONE SHOT ONE KILL!"

          I was crackin up.....

          They packed up and left... I talked to a guy on the other side of them with a scoped high power rifle... and said... "those clays at 300 were those two FNG's wanna be's -right?" (they looked straight out of boot- and acted like it too) He said yeah- I think so.... "wanna split them?".... Says "sure".

          All the rest of the clays were toast- 1 shot each from both us.... A standard clay at 300 is not hard at all with the right rifle....

              Because they are not to the taste of those who call them tupperware. Some people don't like plastic.

              More particularly, the plastic boxes Glocks used to come in actually had a very tupperware like lid and seal -

                Because they got stuck buying them after their friend convinced them to go to a tupperware party and they only bought 1 or 2 because they didn't want to make their friend feel bad but they didn't really want any in the first place and now their friend stuck them on a mailing list without telling them so they get catalogs and other junk mail all the time and the "friend" claims they didn't have anything to do with it even though they clearly did, and you still get asked to go to their damned tupperware parties and...

                Oh wait, guns.

                Glocks = tupperware because of the containers like Librarian pointed out.

                  I've never seen a paper bad guy get back up from a 147gr 9mm though.

                    But I DO wish we could have FFL-sponsored combat-tupperware parties in our homes ... Order tonight, delivery at home or at work in a few days, and a free extra magazine thrown in.

                    Did tupperware ladies get cars like Mary Kay ladies? Imagine the Glock-themed version of a Cadillac.

                      Ok, so a tupper ware gun is called so because the frame is comprised of a polymer, and the container it comes in resembles a portable food container. I see. Fascinating...

                        +1. A home FFL could do this!! Hmm now that's an idea lol.

                              That picture should come with a warning label . . .

                              Those evil black guns in them lunch kits won't set off metal detectors either ~ Sarah Brady says so on the internet, gotta be true

                              I own a Gen I Glock 17 still in the tuperware it came in, never bothered to shoot it as it just doesn't feel right to me and just never got around to it

                                This sounds like many of the experts on Calguns here. I've learned to ignore the stupid people in the world, it makes life more pleasant.
