Quality vs. Quantity

[beast1989]

the 590 mossberg is just as good as any other tactical shotgun

Agree, this thread is ridiculous.

i have used a 500 mossberg in afgan and iraq and they work good military would not have them if they were junk or not up too par with the rest

I think most people when they start purchasing don't set out to buy a Noveske, Wilson 1911 or a Benelli shotty. They get a Stag, Springfield Armory 1911 and a Beretta shotty like I did. Well then of course one ain't enough and you sure can't afford the "creme de la creme" for the second either. Sooooooooo you end up with two unless you sell the first, save and buy. And who in the heck wants to part with a firearm.

I agree...when I started out buying guns (in the 80's) I bought Glocks and 870's and even used old MilSurp for deer hunting...

But, over time I traded up to go more for quality firearms.

I just don't see why someone would want 3 different .45 pistols worth $500 each when they could have the same amount in a nice semi-custom...you only shoot one at a time, might as well have a nice one!

Also, when I mentioned Benelli, I'm not insulting a 590 or 870, but I use shotguns for hunting or skeet, so I'd rather have a SBEII or my Benelli Competition instead of multiple pump guns...but your opinion may be different (which is the question behind this thread)

I prefer quantity. That is why I dropped $100,000 on a pallet load of Mosin Nagant pistols and rifles. Haters gonna hate, but I have over 1500 gats. Once I get the soldiers, I am takin over this town.

Just for your info, you should really check out the info about the development of the M-16 in the early years of Vietnam.

I can remember having to break down my rifle in the middle of a firefight to clean the BCG and chamber while people were dying around me. I was far from the only one that had that issue, and the manufacturer came out with a new issue rifle that took care of most of those problems. The government buys from the lowest bidder.

ya i know the history about the first m-16 a1 lately the military has pretty good weapons

Well, I initially voted for quality as I try to get quality in everything I own or use. However, since firearms for me are a self defense item, it doesn't have to be the sweetest and most expensive one out there.

Then I got to thinking.....

.....after Obama......

......I now seem to be into quantity.

Crud!! Can I change my vote?
