He seems content to allow aesthetic considerations serve as the criterion for judgment between perspectives, but I think that's a non-answer that leads back into relativism. My answer is still developing, but I lean more and more on Richard Schacht over Nehamas. I think the key is the will to truth, which, unlike the will to power, Nietzsche actually had a theory of. But I iz in schools so i can has sez that better.

I practice with it, but the Glock isn't really my favorite. I can shoot it fairly accurately at about 10 yards, but the trigger still feels a bit odd to me, and I find the way it gets noticeably (for me, anyway) top heavy when the magazine isn't completely full to be a little annoying.

I was picking on the very technical error in what you said and pretending it somehow discredited you (or Brad, since it seems I can't read all that well). By technical error, I mean that the rectangular shape on the primer of a round shot through a Glock is raised, not an indentation (convex, not concave, with respect to the overall surface of the primer). I'll just be quiet now.
