Red Jacket - Your thoughts before the TV Show?

[GunSlinger]

It's a sad TV rendition of a shop that was once inovative and produced an excelent product. Personally I can't stand to watch RJF swirling the drain.

Will & Steph have been long time friends.. I miss them.
LOVE all my oldschool red stick firearms. I have not handled many "RJF" firearms.
I no longer work with RJF since they hired a marketing firm..(I think that whole thing could have been handled better.. life goes on)
Not much time to watch ANY TV...

I had never heard of them before the show. When I first started watching the show I really liked it but now it seems like its more of a drama series than a gun show!

Had never heard of them before the show ... but I'm not into AK's, so that's not much of a surprise. While I agree with all the comments that the show is painful, I also chuckle at all the folks that seem willing to believe it bears any relation to reality. It's always to good to take the "reality" in "reality TV show" with a grain of salt...

The Ak's I have seen from them are 5 ft guns ......From 5 ft away they a AWSOME looking ...Close up , they do a good job at turd polishing


But hey its an AK not supposed to be pretty .

I wanna know why Will in the opener of one show says don't try this at home or me and my friends will come for you and then holds up a badge was he stating he is some kind of LEO?

All The RJF gun's i've seen were really nice. I don't know if things have changed since the show but they made some kick butt stuff initially.

Never was a big fan of the show, but I only watched it a couple times, and I'm not sure a complete show.

I had never heard of them before the show. I watched the first season and enjoyed it. After a couple of episodes (season 1) I did some research and found that they had a pretty solid reputation for building quality products.

I stopped watching when they obviously started to script the show (Season 2).

I had never heard of them before the show. I do know that in general they had a good reputation. That much I know because of all the negative comments I read now that referenced them in other forums . So I went to the other forums that were mentioned post show.

Bottom line they seemed to be highly regarded prior to the show. Now they look like fools. Viewers of the show that know even just a little about guns know that the "game changers" that Red Jackets claims are mostly just hot air on the part of the owner who appears on the show to be a buffoon.

Maybe he's a deputy sheriff or something or that's just a mall cop badge.
I was wondering the same.
