Default SET IN MY WAYS / TRADITIONALIST

I'm just about to hit 57 and recently I find myself becoming a "Dinosaur" in the gun world. We all have a "mental picture" in out heads of what things are supposed to be, and I find that my opinions and what is the "best there is" is a drastically different than the new generation coming into our sport. I will give you a for-instance.............

When someone says revolver, I immediately think of a S&W older style (pre 1994) gun.

When someone says Pheasant Hunting gun I think of a Browning Superposed, Browning A5, or a Remington 1100.

When someone says Auto Loader or Semi Auto, the picture in my mind is a Colt 1911 Gov't, Model or Gold Cup.

When someone says Military Rifle I think of an M1 Garand or M1 Carbine.

If one of the younger guys in my club asks me for a holster recommendation, the word "Kydex" NEVER would enter my mind.

So on and so forth...........

So am I alone here or are there some other "Dinosaurs" out there as well??

Regards,
chief38
