Quiet you...IIRC the original design didn't have it. The Army made him add it after the first trials

The Original guns Had grip safeties. What they Did Not have was a thumb safety. People get confused about this. Remember they were for men on horseback. The JMB autos had grip safeties but not thumb safeties.That’s why he didn’t say 1910

Customer : no I want a 1911. Show me one without that grip thing

Big box store, asked if they had 6.5X55 Swede ammo. Clerk has no idea and asks what it is. I reply its an old military round from WW1. Imediate reply was "We don't sell military calibers".
I pointed out that they should remove all the 9mm, 30-06, 308, 223, 45-70, 45ACP, 38 SPL from behind the counter.

LOL! Who knew? I guess I'm jus' narrow minded, always shot mine with 7.62x39."Aks aren't reliable in any caliber other than 7.62x39" - LGS Owner

Mr. Browning had way more confidence in the troops than the War Department did.
From the Browning website:
“Based on the short recoil principle of operation, the John M. Browning design for the US Military pistol trials was a magazine fed, single action semi-automatic pistol with both manual and grip safeties that demonstrated a level of durability, simplicity and reliability that no other pistol design of the era could match. In fact, during a 6,000 round test fired over two days in 1910 that was personally supervised by John M. Browning, his sample pistol became so hot that it was simply dunked in a pail of water to cool it for further firing. Browning’s sample reportedly passed the test with no malfunctions.
Since cavalry troops were going to be the primary combat users of the pistol, several specific design features, like the grip safety and lanyard ring, were mandated by the horse soldiers. (Nothing will turn a cavalry trooper into an infantryman faster than shooting his own horse by accident.) “
Apparently it looks like he showed them both, and then mandated the grip safety as well.

"Expert" I call them gun store commando's....lol! we have one in our town who stops in every place a gun is sold to share his gift of firearms knowledge...I had an "expert" come into the store once. Dude was a wannabe YouTuber which I only remember because he kept reminding me he hadba youtube channel as if having one makes you magically smarter than everyone else.
A list of stupid things he said:
· The Maverick 88 is not a Mossberg product.
· The 124 grain Remington Golden Sabres I had on the shelf were not real Golden sabres. Even went so far as to say they weren't self defense ammo they were practice ammo.
· Critical Duty and Critical Defense are brands.
· Ball ammo is worthless for practice.
· 9mm or smaller are worthless for carry but 45 is too much.
· 38 special is all women should carry in a snubbie because they cant handle 40.
Rock islands are decent 1911’s because they bought all of Colts old machinery is one I overheard one day.

I overheard a SEAL(Ret.) telling my buddy (who owns a local gun store) that his ATI Omni Hybrid (polymer AR) is just as good as the Daniel Defense Mk18 that was on the gun store counter.

Sure he was a SEAL & not a former cook & bottle washer?

Sadly, he really was. He does PMC work now. He looked at a Galil ACE 5.56 on the wall and said “those HKs are pretty good”.Sure he was a SEAL & not a former cook & bottle washer?

That's a "sealer". They wear those odd white hats and white suits. (That should get something going.)He sealed boxes in the warehouse!
Seriously now. I take your word for it, but... I don't know what the Navy's/SEALs equivalent of a company is. However, in that equivalent there had to be some clerks etc. who don't wear the trident. Nevertheless, they can say they were a in a SEAL company or whatever it's called The same with a Force Recon company in the Marine Corps.Sadly, he really was. He does PMC work now.

If I go to a car dealership I am NOT expecting:
1. experts of cars
2. experts of driving
3. experts at anything related to either of the above, aside from the taking money part.
I have similar expectations at gun stores.
And the 4th Machinegun Bn.Seriously now. I take your word for it, but... I don't know what the Navy's/SEALs equivalent of a company is.

Funny story. The 5th & 6th Marine Regiments wear a green braided rope around their left shoulder called a fourragere (a reminisant of the unpleasantness in Belleau Wood in 1918). I know of a wise-a$$ years ago who on one occasion told the groupies that hung around some of the bars in Jacksonville that indicated the wearer had venereal disease. While not original it was funny that night even after the fists started flying.
Was it the 4th or 5th MG battalion or regiment. Should have looked it up first and I'll do that now.And the 4th Machinegun Bn.
former K/3/6 here
According to Wikipedia (for what that's worth) it was the 4th and 6th machine gun battalions. Couldn't find a USMC reference on it which might be more accurate. I seem to recall though that only one machine gun battalion was so honored by the French.Was it the 4th or 5th MG battalion or regiment. Should have looked it up first and I'll do that now.
Sadly, having known a number of guys who were active Seals, Delta or similar. Not many will anounce their "history" of service or volunteer certain information without a reason. However, since the release of so many movies on the topic, along with both good and bad press, I have heard more people profess to be operators of extraordinary caliber and many times I know they're full of shat!
Stolen valor is a stylish impression to present these days!

This sounds like some of the younger local law enforcement officers.45acp won't kill a man
10mm is a myth
And 9mm won't go through a winter coat.
That's why you need 40 Smith and Wesson.
All from the same guy.
oh-ohformer K/3/6 here
Yep, like "hero".“Expert” is a loose term nowadays.
