I found the thread an interesting read. I don't have a problem with the question, either. There is so much bullshit about firearms in pop culture and even in the media (no shit, I heard an NPR announcer refer to Clyde Barrow's 1911 revolver.) that I see it good someone wanting to know what's real. Is the question ignorant? Yeah, but the SDMB for all it's snark and politics does do a decent job fighting ignorance. It's just taking them longer than they thought. Anyway, aren't most questions (rhetoric aside) ignorant by definition?
