But if someone mentions Turkish guns, why not mention the fact that a lot of them, relatively speaking, do have heavy triggers?
Oh, you're definitely going to do that. My question is, while you're pointing out the wart on the girl's face why not mention her good qualities? You know, give credit where credit is due. This was your post ........
If only the Turks would learn that many shotgunners aren't overly excited about guns with a trigger pull that's significantly heavier than the weight of the gun. And of course the BSS were a lot more expensive than were the Mirokus that were sold as Charles Dalys, or Western Field, or simply as Miroku.
When all you say about Turkish made guns is that they often have very heavy triggers you are intentionally skewing a newcomer's view of the guns. Perhaps if you'd qualify it by pointing out that they are a huge value for the dollars spent, that they have a reputation for being perfectly regulated, and that even the base grades come with nicely figured Turkish walnut, folks like me might not get the idea that you are bashing them.
I was told once, by a very wise person, that when you have to reprimand an employee, or someone below you on the chain of command, for a mistake or deficiency in their work, that you begin by pointing out the good qualities that person has, and the ways they do a good job.Then you point out where they can improve. It is received much better, accomplishes a lot more and doesn't create an atmosphere of negativity.
