Went to a sporting goods store here in Texas last fall to purchase a shotgun. Wasn't sure if I wanted a 12 or a 20, but I knew I wanted the plain black Rem 870 pump. That's what I told the clerk, yet he unlocked the case and immediately went for the pink camo 20ga. I told him if he brought that gun to me I'd burn the place down.
What is it about Bubba gun store clerks when a female walks in? I had consulted with a couple of QPs, had a game plan, and although not an experienced shooter, I knew what I needed. But no....the clerk starts mocking my plan, tells me that all Army guys are sumbitches and he's been "shooting on his ranch since he was a little grasshopper", and I needed this here Taurus .410!!
When this story was relayed to the QP, he wanted to fly to Texas and burn the store down.
But I digress....
The pink stuff feels like an awkward marketing gimmick. "A female comes in, sell her the pink stuff." I understand there's a huge market developing out there for women shooters, and think it's cool that some manufacturers want to create women-specific products, but to date, many of the pink products aren't customized for a smaller body, smaller hands, smaller head, whatever. They're just pink. Besides, I'm 5'8", not petite, and don't have small hands. I like the plain black guy stuff just fine. Ok, maybe a little diamond-encrusted bling bling, but not pink!
