The Gadget: an additional safety device for Glock pistols

[Traveler]

Okay, it's your story relive as you want to, but check a few post's prior to the one you quoted. Also bragging about NRA pistol/rifle instructor certifications is kinda like bragging you became a gunsmith via a online school (yes I do have NRA instructor ratings amoung others. The one day instructor ratings is a area where the NRA really dropped the ball). Dont need counseling, but I don't roll and show my belly either to someone with limted experience.

Here is one piece of advice "never let your education interfere with your ability to learn" You might find your world expand.

Later.

This from the guy claiming I had an ego issue. Might want to check the mirror man. Your personal attacks are showing the weakness of your position. Also, making the assumption that the NRA training is my only experience weakens your argument.

I would also suggest using the spelling checker.

I don't recall bragging. I mentioned some certifications I hold, indicating some of my personal training.

My issue is with the product, and it trying to be a substitute for good firearm handling habits. I am unclear on how recommending someone get more training in proper handling could be interpreted as an insult, personal or otherwise.

If there was a serious design flaw, needing correction, Glock would have been sued into making changes. That has not happened, even in the lawsuit happy USA.

I try to keep my posts short for the mobile guys, so I will end here.

Can The Gadget be be affixed to a Colt's Dragoon? Would Rooster do it?

Rooster never carried or used the Colt's Dragoon. Mattie did. She seems too common sense to fool with such haberdashy.

I am happy for them... I wish them no ill will...

But, none of it will be from my pockets.

No seat belts for motorcycles.

Maybe this guy influenced Honda to have the air bag option on the Goldwing?

what about something like this?

That is the most asinine contraption ever for riding a motorcycle...

Imagine... Your riding along and a dog jumps in front of you or as in my case a deer jumps onto the front wheel while riding at 55 mph... (It was one hell of a flight... The landing was a bit hard on the gear. Thankfully I had no passenger at the time.) I digress...

Your kid is firmly attached to your back with that abomination... Your off the bike rolling and sliding down the highway... And your kid is being ground down to a bloody pulp under your weight.

But... YMMV...

After all... It looked like a good idea on paper.

Heck, you didn't even cover the t-shirts and jeans.

All the gear, all the time, and NO DUMB GADGETS!!!

OP has a very low post count, and the manufacturer signs up a new account right away to defend the product. I don't believe in coincidences.

I do own several Glocks. I haven't had any ND incidents, because I have trained with the product, and I am not a moron.

Hmmmmm .....

What does a low post count have to do with anyone's knowledge or experience?

It doesn't. What it might say that it's a soft marketing ploy for the product.

Copy..........but without any FACTS to back what he is assuming, it is just assumption's.

Read through this whole thread and see if you can seriously tell me this whole thing isn't a thinly veiled marketing thread. Pulease.

Ok, still nothing but Assumptions...... I prefer Facts before Assuming on what someone is doing or making Accusations on what they are doing.

Ok
Fact 1. Todd G invented this useless gadget
Fact 2. OP tested this product
Fact 3. OP creates thread before sale of Gadget
Fact 4. Gadget goes on sale soon
Fact 5. Every product needs to be advertised
Fact 6. Introduce Billy Mays clone

Need anymore dots connected for ya?

 

[Sgt6402]

I was referring more to someone assuming that a member must not know much since his post count was low........... not the actual Ops post

 

[Threeband]

He's not assuming the low post count means the OP doesn't know much. It just could fit with the OP doing a little marketing.

However, looking over his activity, he has been participating at a steady rate for over a year. It really doesn't look like he just reappeared recently to market a product. He's been around for a while, posting about all sorts of things.

However, it may be that the reaction to this thread has driven him away in disgust.

I believe if everyone who posted here about this thing were actually in person talking about it, that things would sound much different.
A lot of/all/most human factor definitely gets lost through text.

Nature of the beast.
