Trap - "...just can't justify a whole other round of ammunition accumulation."
Yeah, I hear ya. The bottom of the lake is already pretty full, and the variety isn't bad. I do kinda wonder if as some point (if there is time) to add this flavor though, as it is arguably the most popular...from a barter or lookie what I found perspective if anything.
Glock -
"...but pistols, they're like potato chips."
It does seem that way!
"One thing I do love about Glocks in general is the simple, uncluttered design. I'm not a fan of manual safeties, and I like that Glock has only a mag release and a slide stop. No safety or decocking levers."
They are almost like what a first generation semi-auto should have been...no offense to John Moses Browning, I love the guy, great mind, great innovator...but for handguns coming out of Colt for example the "safety" was you, same with the Glock...load it and rack a round and when you pull and aim it the safety is your finger. There is a natural simplicity to them that is hard to hate. You look at them and they are visually underwhelming and entirely utilitarian...yet they work flawlessly, they take a beating and look at you with indifference, they feel good in the hand and don't do anything to piss you off.
"Bersa Thunder...Fantastic little pistols."
Probably not a mistake that they were founded in the mid-50's and designed models after the Walther PP & PPK's. I wondered if they had some German ex-pats in desgin and engineering, no proof I can see, though one of their early designers was a guy named Antonovich, which is Russian...but they too copied anybody they could during the war.
