I'm sorry, but I have no idea what it is I would be voting on.

 

[vytoland]

is this a choice between hollow points and wadcutters??

 

[paragon1]

I voted YES!

 

[robertrwalsh]

There isn't a spot for my double-barrel RPG anywhere.

 

[Lee in Quartzsite]

Geez...guess all my guns are junk since none match the requirements. My ultimate HD gun is my trusty 12ga.

 

[n4zov]

I'm more lost than usual. Are you asking us to vote on whether we agree with all your personal choices as being the best? If so, I vote no.

 

[bronco45]

Your attempt to answer the ultimate revolver question needs to be broken down into several individual poll questions. From there you can develop a database. Methinks!

 

[Gutpile Charlie]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....................!

You've got it all figured out. That's it?

I think it is a bit presumptive to make such a definitive statement?

I agree with some of the things....but not all. Am I just "uninformed"? Hmmmmmm......!

I happen to like 1/7/8" barrel, round butt, J frame.....but what do I know?

 

[Rule3]

i voted NO as I have NO idea what we are voting on.

 

[1toolman]

I,m confused kinda like asking my x a question

 

[Firehouse]

In an attempt to bring the score of votes from being a lopsided victory, I voted no. For what I have no idea.

 

[gizamo]

Firehouse,

Just to play the devil's advocate in this, I've taken the opposite position...

So in this very important matter I will vote Yes, dammit!

Come on NO's it's almost 50:50.

Just say NO!

 

[38-44HD45]

Yep, believe we did. (and it was less confusing)

 

[therevjay]

Yes, or no, on what?

 

[RightWinger]

Quite possibly the biggest waste of 2 minutes of my time....ha
