Most guys who try to "persuade" others into using what they use are just looking for validation of their own choices.
They want you to know they are real operators and you should hang on their every word....
I'll listen to anyone who gives me sound advice and speaks from real world experience....I am NOT an operator/commando/warrior...just a regular guy trying to be as prepared as possible.
But before you tell me I'm wrong to carry an old wheel gun maybe you should see me shoot it first?!?
