Remember an Ex' is a has been, and a Spurt is just a Drip under pressure.
Experts feel obligated to Give the Gospel Truth to all souls in need of Redemption. When do they do this? Always! Who is in need of Redemption? Everyone!
Most often the Gospel they Illiterate, is to say the least inaccurate, and at its worst Dangerous enough to get people killed and out right fallacy. The reason Experts give advice so freely is the advice is worthless anyway.
In practical experience I can name at least a dozen things "Experts" were wrong about and that is just with Cooking steaks!!! Here is some Expert Gun advice I have been given.....
Take the "Expert" who told me Gun Metal was too soft to bead blast.
The "Expert" who told me shortening a barrel would increase my Floating Zero problem.
The "Expert" who told me 7.62x54 caliber was Identical ballistically to the 30'06.
Or the "Expert" who told me there is no one who makes a 7.62x39 mm Bolt Action Rifle.

Folks: A question I'd like answred is: If this dealer thinks Handi's are so poor why does he stock them at all.  If I had to stake my rep on a product, I'd sure try to make sure it measured up. Also I'd make sure that a customer knew what he was buying. Beware The Buyer:  :?  Duce:

My point exactly.   I mean why carry a product if your not going to stand behind it.     That goes for any business really..    well im heading to the Panhandle next week to take my NEW .204 and do some yote hunting and PD shooting.    Who cares what he thinks. I know ive got a great gun and I love it!!!!!!

for me the gist of the matter is not someone's like or dislike of the Handi Rifle.   It is no secret that many people do not like them for their own individual reasons.  What gets me is the poor business practices that I think are prevalent in the small gun shops.  I think I have personally blackballed 3/4ths of the shops around me for one reason or another (usually a brash attitude ignoring the golden rule - the customer is always right).  The other couple get my business and recommendations to others.  It takes more than a love of guns to run a gun shop.  There is a time and place for voicing your opinion, and offending a customer is never that time or place.  If the customer is wrong, take the time to tactfully explain reality.  If you cant conduct your business in a polite manner, you deserve everything Walmart takes from you.
