    I don't know what you have against me but you tried blaming a past situation on me too. Everything was fine and was a simple and to the point adult conversation between he and I until post #19. Anyone can see that. In post #19 he began calling out my personal character & bringing me personally into the conversation. I didn't make it once personal to that point. All I did was point to the claims that he made that I had issue with and why. I was succinct and didn't attack him personally once. I think most people would react when someone turns it personal and tries to paint them into a corner by claiming they know all about them using absolutes like 'always' and 'every' and stating that all they do is try to argue when I did no such thing. Singling me out publicly after we already settled our issue like adults and moved on isn't the best way to go about things even if you disagree with how things were handled. The point is they were handled and we're both fine with it. It was a slight misunderstanding between two adults that was resolved like grown-ups. If we wanted to reflect on the situation I could suggest that maybe he not take it off topic by going into threads about subjects he's not interested in just to say he's not interested in them and then start to make it personal whenever those he attacks personally try to defend themselves. I may not have super friendly but it wasn't like he was extending the olive branch of friendship when he was attacking me personally either. We even joked sarcastically about the whole thing later on in fact I felt proving that nothing was taken personally. I didn't resort to that I kept my posts short and topical and not personal. How is it I'm the one being singled out publicly?

    I have nothing against you at all. In post 19, it seems he told you that he was a hobbyist rather than a gun expert, and was only posting his personal thoughts. He never told anyone to only buy along his lines of thought. YOU began with the back handed comments. Your posts seem more provoking, rather than a simple discussion, even when Beacons asked to be more friendly. I understand things can be misinterpreted in text, but making the comments you did, don't seem warranted.

    Big major yawn on both counts. A design that failed when it was new 100 years ago, polished up and re-offered by a company that should know better, and a "new" nothing from a nobody.

    It's the indian, not the arrow. Neither of these guns will ever win a gunfight or a match. At best they'll sit in some sucker's safe who thought "ooooooh, look, neat!" and they'll be discontinued after a year or two.

    I'm on my phone. You're lucky its not one long sentence.

    I dig the lower bore axis, and can see the benefits with that design. Both look like pretty cool pistols, and with modern engineering, 100 year designs can be made to work reliably.

    I've been hearing about lower bore axis, and 100 year old designs, for years. It's all nonsense. People go on and on about bore axis and then get beat by a guy shooting a Sig or a Beretta. Whoops. and this Remington is the equivalent of Ford re-introducing the Edsel.

    But that attitude doesn't fill gunshops or magazines or forums, so people bleet on about it.

    As mentioned, its the Indian, not the arrow. And I would probably buy an Edsel, with a modern drive train.

    Thanks for the post OP. That Remington does look intriguing. Hope to get my hands on one this year as well.

    Get beat by a Sig or a Baretta? What competitions are you going to? I don't even remember the last time I saw a Sig being used at a match.

    These aren't going to change the world of firearms but really, what has lately? What they're going to do is give another option for those who have a cabinet full of hammers matched to each task. If you use screwdrivers to pound nails in & don't get the excitement over them fandangled hammers then I can't help you.

    I wasn't talking about you ya big dummy. I was talking about the the posts here since that was the conversation. In such a hurry to try to make me look like an asshole that you kinda made yourself look like one. Strong work.
