Coming Soon: Noob Reviews!
There used to be an entry in the FAQ section of the site that said something along the lines of:
Q: Why don’t you have any gun reviews?
A: Because I’m still relatively new to firearms and I don’t think I have had enough experience
with them to be able to give a decent opinion on what constitutes a good gun.
That particular statement was removed recently for 2 reasons:
1) Between renting them, borrowing from friends and adding to my own collection, I have gone out of my way in recent months to try as many different guns as humanly possible. As such, I now feel that I have at least a decent understanding of what is meant by things like “terrible trigger pull” and “eats whatever you put into it”.
2) A good friend suggested that I should review guns not from the “expert” perspective that most reviewers go but from the perspective of “Is this a good starter gun?”
That last statement is the key. Gun Noob is and will always be a resource for the absolute beginner to intermediate gun user. I am formulating a list of tests and criteria for reviewing guns from this perspective. Things like “how easy is it to break down” and “how forgiving is it for poor technique (limp-wrist friendly)” and more.
Keep your eye out in the next few days for the first of many reviews concerning beginner friendly firearms.

Smith & Wesson pick up a couple of new customers!
Looks like Smith & Wesson found a couple of big customers for their M&P line of pistols. The Massachusetts State Police will be using their M&P45 and Vermont will be issuing the M&P40 to it state police. Agents have already started using the firearm in the field.
Always great to hear of an American company getting good business!

Why I do what I do…
I started Gun Noob with the goal of preventing the kind of stuff you see in this video. People not holding the guns right and injuring themselves and potentially others. If I keep one person from making the kind of mistakes seen here then I will consider this site a resounding success.
In the meantime, enjoy this compilation of incredible gun fails!
