Now admit it, TR, haven't you gone that route yourself at least once in your life.

No doubt I probably have, but I like to delude myself in thinking that I do some research first. I don't generally buy the top of the line my first go, my first handgun was a used and somewhat beat up Model 19 and my first car was a dealer special as it had been on the lot for months (it was 16k brand new).
Have I bought the "top of the line" before? Yes, but not until I've spent some time with the Barney basic.
I think a lot of you are right that it's more a matter of money really. There are those that think buying the best will make them the best. Though determining the "best" has been the source of countless threads on this forum. I do think image is a driving factor though. We're seeing a lot more shooters recently which is great. But many of these folks are passing on training in exchange for equipment. Oh well, thanks for being a sounding board.
