I was in law enforcement for 10+ years, been through countless gun classes and did competition pistol shoots, I believe most people use the name interchangeably.Quote:

I couldn't find the "semantics police."
Will this guy do????
I was NOT in law enforcement, I have been through and taught countless gun & hunter safety classes, shoot and shot competition for about 30+ years and I belivieve most people do NOT know the difference, and that is why they use them interchangeably.:cool:Quote:

I had an English teacher like that, anytime a student asked for a kleenex she would say "facial tissue", the term "clip" in handguns being synonymous with "magazine" predates me IMO.Quote:

And I don't think that it is always by accident.
Not insinuating you or FOM have done such.........just a point of clarification.
And, not trying to insult anyone.........I actually saw this on another site and thought it funny.
Evidently I am alone.
Its all good. :DQuote:
