Cheap beer and cheap guns - Page 2

Dragline45 · March 21, 2015, 05:39 PM

I have no problem with cheap guns as long as they are quality, like a 10/22 or a Mossberg 500, but I don't skimp on beer. I am drawn towards pricey IPA's, yeah it sucks paying as much or more for a 6 pack as a 12pack of the cheap stuff, but I don't drink to get drunk I want to enjoy what I am drinking.

Pilsner Urquell is one of my favorite euroskunk beers. I rock a Charter myself.

Paulaner Salvator and my Colt 1903...

or Old Milwaukee and my Taurus 357...

all four of them work!

We should make a distinction between guns that are cheap and guns that are inexpensive. For instance, my Ruger 22/45 is an inexpensive pistol but very well made. On the other hand, the P22 I used to own practically fell apart after 2000 or so rounds, that was a cheap gun.

Oddly enough, both beer and guns can be had in quality for a much lower price, provided you brew them yourself.

My beer is Budweiser, my bourbon is Booker's, and my guns are varied!

armoredman · March 21, 2015, 11:47 PM

Americana right there.

I've got two bottles of mead in my fridge and a few dozen more in the basement.
If your going to do something, do it right. Even if that means you have to do it yourself!

My first thought upon reading the title of the thread was "easy women" is missing.

tallball · March 22, 2015, 10:11 AM

What caliber?

buck460XVR · March 22, 2015, 10:16 AM

I've never been impressed with cheap beer or cheap guns. Cheap women on the other hand........

Just mention cigar,and you have the full spectrum of the ATF

I've gotten to a point in my life where I can drink Samuel Adams beer and Starbucks coffee. Of course when it take you a year to drink a case, you can pretty much drink anything.

No cheap guns for me. Nothing ridiculously expensive either.

Weapon of Choice: Taurus PT111 G2 - Inexpensive, but not cheap.

Beer of Choice: Guinness Draught - Neither inexpensive nor cheap.

For me, it is about what job needs to be done, and what can get it done without breaking the bank. For a carry weapon, it needs to be reliable and reasonably accurate, regardless of brand name. If a $200 gun can get that done, cool - more money for target practice. For beer, it is about tasting good, since I don't drink to get drunk (one 6-pack usually lasts me about 3 months). I like the taste of Guinness, so I spend the extra money that is required to get that particular job done.

I apply that same philosophy to most things in life. I'll never own a big expensive truck, for example, because I don't need anything bigger than a 6 cylinder midsize.

I just prefer not to spend extra for stuff I don't need or want. That way I have more money left over, so I don't have to skimp on the things I do need and want.

Nope I'm still dry.

When I drank I preferred stouts and bitters, but a half rack of cheap stuff was best for picnics or camping.

I've owned a couple of cheap guns but they got used as trade bait. Used quality guns tend to be a better deal.

armoredman · March 24, 2015, 01:35 PM

ATF? Like this? Sorry, had no beer in the house that day....

Sevens · March 24, 2015, 01:45 PM

Unless you have a loaded round in the pistol with a primer, you don't have the "e."

Except unfortunately today Budweiser in brewed by Inbev (Belgian), Jim Beam, the maker of Booker's is owned by Suntory Holdings Ltd (Japanese), and my EDC pistol is a Springfield Armory XD 40 Sub Compact (Croatian).

I confess....I am a gun snob.....and a beer snob.

Somehow, though, between Belgian FNs and Belgian Ales.....I manage to survive.

armoredman · March 25, 2015, 10:44 AM

Sevens, the CZ SP-01 Phantom IS loaded, but if you look to the right you'll see a funny looking plastic container of...gun powder...

Sevens · March 25, 2015, 02:47 PM

A-ha! I see you eventually found your way in to my trap!

Smokeless powder is not an explosive. It's combustible. The primer in the loaded round is explosive.

aarondhgraham · March 25, 2015, 04:04 PM

I drink cheap beer (Pabst Blue Ribbon) ,,,
So I can afford to buy and feed good fiery-arms.

I have 2-4 beers after work,,,
PBR saves me $3.00 or $6.00 every day.

21-22 drinking days per month,,,
That's $63.00 to $132.00 each month for ammo.

Besides, if I could get used to drinking Korean OB in the 70's,,,

PBR is like liquid manna from heaven in comparison.

Unlike most people though,,,
I freely admit I drink beer for the alcohol.
