I learned this expression several years ago, the first time I tried to get one apart & back together. I called the guy who suggested a 1911 to me and he said "It's called an idiot scratch".. I had about the same feeling that you experienced when you saw this little plastic thing..
I have since learned to try not to do it but it doesn't bother me..
It's not much of a marketing angle, is it.. "Buy this because you're an idiot"..
With friends like these, who needs hallucinations!..

It's actually pretty accurate though.
If you waste ammo money on this you probably are an idiot.    ;D

I still think that this is about a bunch of anal retentive people that own guns ridiculing those of us that use our guns and someone trying to capitalize on it.

I was sorting through my carry guns last night, and I wonder what they think of someone who has holster wear and perspiration stains in the finish of their guns.  Should I be condemned to Chicago because I don't know how to properly pamper a gun?
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

If it goes "boom" when it's supposed to, "click" when it's supposed to, and you hit what you wanted to shoot, everything else is just hobby..

Stolen !  ;D
Just had a thought, the people who waste money on this really are idiots since they are buying something to prevent a scratch they already put on their pistol.

What a awesome device! I will get one and put it on the shelf right next to my ashtray for the motorbike.
