D9Firearms

At D9Firearms nothing is to small or to large for us to handle. We had the pleasure of doing some research for a friend who was looking for a 50 BMG. There are several players in this market and they all have some outstanding guns. But what separates them? When we started looking we had two main criteria; quality and accuracy. Interestingly economics really wasn’t so much a factor because one expects to pay for a piece of hardware in this category. We also looked at the overall design of the rifle and its ascetics.

After doing some research and speaking with the owner of a 50 I started making calls of what I deemed to be the top three contenders to get a comparison of the three rifles. We received one call back which was from Barrett.

I described my search process and asked her about her rifle. In our conversation I introduced the names of the other two manufacturer’s and she didn’t skip a beat, not once did she disparage, discuss, or compare her rifle to theirs. At the time I felt it was all professionalism on her part, but two things separated her from the chaff. The first was the overall rifle package and everything that was included. The second was when I received two of these bad boys on my door step and opened up the case and all’s there was to say wow what an awesome rifle (I actually said something else but you get the point). The point is she didn’t need to compare her rifle to theirs because she knew without a doubt hers was best. And when you have a superior product and you believe in it, it sells itself.

My friend was able to take his to the range several weeks before me so I had some warning as what to prepare for. The most incredible thing is that there is no recoil to this rifle; the weight and the brake eliminate all but that of a light shot gun. However, the tooth rattling concussion you suffer from what seems like a grenade going off in your back pocket will leave you feeling like you need a trip to the dentist. But you quickly recover only to do it again.

The Barrett is quite an entertaining rifle but we have since offered on the auction block due to the high demand in this tumultous political climate and am pleased to have passed this awesome rifle on to a new owner who will be able to enjoy it more frequently then me.  It was great fun while it lasted and there are still some available, but be prepared to wait.
