What a moronic article, all 3 of those recommendations are ugh..

If you don't know about firearms, don't listen to this guy.

For starters, he tells you not to buy an AR 15, something he doesn't own. His experience with the cartridge is a mini-14 that he says is "The least accurate rifle he owns.." whatever.

Instead he tells you to get an M1A, which is as tactical as a boat anchor in comparison. The AR is so far ahead of the M1A dinosaur for "tactical".. (customizing, speed, accuracy, mag size, followup, reloading and price).. everything except bullet size. Woopity do.

Next is the Benelli M4. No doubt a great firearm, but absolutely overpriced, like the M1A, no thanks to "The official shotgun of John Wick and the USMC." Gag me.

As for the Glock 20, great gun, but competitors over the last few years have made Glock basic and overpriced .. There are many alternatives that give different size, look, feel, ergonomics and customizing for less money, like the CZ striker fire among many.
