Compare your gun to a car

[calwoodbutcher]

SKS = old Jeep. Always runs. Loves bad conditions. Ain't too pretty but fills the bill.

Well Ill have to say Lamborghini Gallardo

Must be an elegant gun that was expensive, you rarely take it out (for fear of damage), and have never run it for its full potential...

[mikenewgun87]

I would have to say the Glock is the Honda Accord...reliable, has billions of parts...and runs well...regardless of treatment....but thats my opinion....

Yes its so rare, I dont want to take pictures of it in fear that the flash will ruin it.

i have a model 36 j frame that i edc.... i drive a 02 2500 dodge with a cummins. yea, not really comparable.

Not necessarily YOUR vehicle, but A vehicle.

Ex: Model 36 J-frame Smith: 2-door Chevy Cavalier

Made in America, small, convenient, at one time they were everywhere

Honda Accord?...

I think that it'd be more appropriate to compare the Glock/XD/M&P to the Honda Civic/Toyota Corolla/Nissan Sentra. All over the place, inexpensive, and reliable.

Here's an overused comparison, but appropriate: M1911s are like the Chevy small block of the gun world.

AK-47 pattern rifles are like the Volkswagen Beetle. Millions made, dirt cheap, and a little crude, but incredibly reliable.

I shall not say

My Ferret 50 cost as much as my 300ZX.

glock 17,19,26

Toyota camry. 250,000 miles and not a part replaced. The damn thing just wont DIE!!!

[sigstroker]

I agree with the 1911 and the small block Chevy comparison. Or old Ford Mustangs. Both are old, low-tech designs that have been superseded a long time ago by better designs. There's a ton of aftermarket crap you can hang on them.

By contrast I think a SIG compares with a BMW. Obviously German, and the SIG is a modern design in the barrel lockup, heavy duty aluminum frame, etc. The parts are machined to such close tolerances that you can buy a factory barrel and drop it into any gun.

For the tacticool and ricer crowd...

[Moemoe1]

Lmfao! ^ mine would be compared to a Humvee have fed it everything to the cleanest to the dirtiest, dropped in mud water whatever it still runs like a champ

Winchester model 70 : Ford Mustang

Old models are classic and coveted; lots of mechanics work on them; they lost mystique in their middle years, but regained it (somewhat) with the new offereings via...

My G19 is like my Honda Civic in that I paid $500 for each one of them.
