Like sniper, PPOT is my new gun forum. I've been on too many dedicated gun forums to even remember them all. IMHO, not a single one of them is worth the effort anymore. Advice ranges from simply stupid to darn right dangerous, and far too much weight is given to the most tenured members, with post count equaling credibility.

Many of today's most respected gun writers rue the veritable cesspool of misinformation the firearms forums have become. Notables such as Ross Seyfreid, Dave Scovil, Mike Venturino, Brian Pearce, Sheriff Jim Wilson, John Barsness, and many others have mentioned time and time again in their writings just how bad it has gotten. I fully agree. But, then again, car tech forums have pretty much gone the same way, with many knowledgeable early contributors having long since bailed. They got tired of being drowned out by the bombastic b.s.
