They are also overly complicated, shoot expensive ammo (assuming .45acp), and and are finnickey as all get out.

Slide bite is easily cured. Hold the fucking weapon right.
Lol @ hold the fucking weapon right.
I suppose getting a good high grip on the gun is wrong. Some people just have bigger hands.Originally posted by Theodore RooseveltIt is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
