WOTD: "Princesstute"

[substitute]

The reliably informative Exploding Aardvark has a roundup of 581% inappropriate toys for girls. If I had a 9 year old she would not get any of this shit.

Major points for the phrase "girl power index" and the sentence "Next year, Disney Fairies will be rolled out in earnest."

Yet another example of the Women Now Empowered By Everything Women Does phenomenon. I support giving 9 year old girls zip guns and dropping them off at Disney headquarters.

You Go Girl!!!

In the words of one of my dear friends, "boys are less likely to take your tools if you get pink handles..."

and yes, if you have to work with an M1911A1, then PLEASE show some sense of professional courtesy and get it reramped!!!

You found a lovely photo of a .45 ACP M1911A1, that appears to have been totally rekitted on the outside with all of the cool stuff that would go into making it a 'modern handgun' - but one of the problems that folks often forget when redoing the outside is to make sure that the inside is Clean - and there is this cute little loading ramp that helps the bullets slide into the chamber that can get worn and dorked out....

But basic long story short - either buy a modern hand gun, or plan to have your local gun smith spend the time to make it really work out...

As for the rest of my kvetch, remember to professionals, tools are tools, and in this case, firearms are the tools of a specific trade..

There are of course problems with so many of these systems....
