LGS in central NC that is usually great has one employee that's only in the shop on the weekends has had some fantastic lines.
My wife was looking at getting a p365 XL to put a romeo 1 on for her "fanny pack" ccw for when she's walking on trails with our 10lbs gun. She asks the employee if he could place an order for a 365 xl. The guy assumes my wife knows nothing about what she is asking and starts explaining why he believes the sig p365 is a terrible gun because it jams all the time due to the magazine holding 10 rounds in such a small height mag. He proceeds to pull out a ~$350 heavily used Kimber 1911 and state, "this is what you need little lady. No one should be without a good, reliable 1911 at their side while out walking alone". My wife let's him know that she already has a Sig nightmare 1911 in 45 ACP so she understands the benefits of a 1911 and would just like to order a 365 xl. Guy refused to order one because he, "wouldn't want anything to happen to a pretty little lady because she bought a terrible gun". I caught the tail end, call the owner, got a 365 xl for $450 to keep our business.
Same guy a week earlier asked me why I want to build a custom bolt gun in 6.5CM. Let him know I'm looking at learning long rang shooting as I've only shot shitty sub-$500 hunting bolt guns and wanted something to use for both hunting and, hopefully, prs. His response was that 6.5CM was not enough bullet to take down deer and elk outside of 100y and doesn't have the ballistic capability to shoot to 1000y for prs. His recommendation was to start with a 338LM (which I have shot recently out of my brother-in-law's AXMC and loved) because it's the only round that "sniper wannabes" should shoot -.-
He no longer works there thankfully.
