I tend to classify things more as useful with purpose, useless/no purpose, accurate, reliable, not accurate, not reliable. My biggest thing is accuracy & reliability, if you cant hit anything with it then it doesn't serve a purpose in my opinion. Now Im not talking .5" groups at 100yards or anything but Ive seen some of these pistols/rifles, etc, that wont shoot a 6 inch group at 25 yards.. That is a POS to me.
