The Company does not sell anything as they have been out of business since 2001

Yeah, ordinary gunowners are NEVER swayed by sex appeal — just like car buyers pay no heed to babes at car shows.

What terrible “marketing types” must have been employed by Intratec — confusing their appeal with all that stuff about “excellent resistance to… perspiration, petroleum distillates of all types, gun solvents, gun cleaners and all powder residue.”
What do “crooks” care about THAT?

And what AMAZING COINCIDENCES that so many other other makers of gun finishes and gun care products also advertise products that protect against the corrosive effects of fingerprints and the same other factors mentioned by Intratec.

Yup, ordinary gunowners are NEVER swayed by sex appeal — just like car buyers pay no heed to babes at car shows.

JF: Marketing types know what sells; IntraTec sells a cheaply made gun favored by crooks. Thus, the marketing scheme: fingerprint resistant and sex appeal.
…….
Now, a GunLoon who supposedly knows something about guns isn’t going to be swayed by such an ad–but criminals are.

Intratec, like most gun makers, advertises with the assumption of some basic knowledge.

How else to explain the ad’s “excellent resistance to…perspiration, petroleum distillates of all types, gun solvents, gun cleaners and all powder residue” as well as fingerprints. Most gunowners know about the detrimental effects of fingerprints (and those other things) on firearms.

The only ones we know who ever got it wrong are anti-gunowner advocates — who were LOOKING for something to use against Intratec, and found nothing else that was not equally bogus.

“Babes” in an ad meant an appeal to criminals — LOL

JF: But if people who buy guns, like a Tec-9, are relatively ignorant of guns–what do you suppose they think “fingerprint resistant” means?

I have zeroed in on the EXACT point: Intratec offered a typically finished blued steel gun, which like most guns so finished is suceptible to corrosion if not well cared for. They also (for an additional charge)offered an optional stainless-look finish (Tec-Kote) which was resistant to many factors that can cause corrosion — and they listed some of those factors, one of which was fingerprints.

All of this is well-illustrated by the many products for sale (as per my link) that protect against the corrosive effects of fingerprints on guns which do NOT have an optional and more expensive corrosion resistant finish.
So asked and answered — again.
I will be AWKB from Tue on to the end of the week, but I will be back — this has been fun.

JF: Again, you miss the point–why is IntraTec marketing their weapons as “fingerprint resistant?”

And the Intratec ad says that their finish (like the other one I just posted a link to) protects against many sources of corrosion including fingerprints.

Gun control advocates and legislators friendly to their cause know the truth, which is why they don’t try to ban fingerprint-resistant guns or finishes. But their deception to fool the public is just so usefull that they keep on spreading their deceit.

JF: To be certain, there are plenty of products available to make fingerprint corrosion less likely. The problem is that fingerprint corrosion is pretty far down the list in terms of risk of corrosion. For example, a piece of metal is far likely to corrode due to exposure to changing temps or salt air or even exposure to dissimilar metals.
