Early one Saturday morning in April 2016, 41-year-old Scott Franklin got out of his car at a red light and approached another vehicle, one of two filled with young men out partying. Franklin, who was on his way home from working a shift at a Mexican restaurant, was angry: The dispute, police later said, was over whether one car had cut off the other. As Franklin neared one of the other vehicles, 22-year-old Malcolm DiPina, who was riding in the backseat, drew a .40-caliber Glock pistol, rolled down his window, and fired three to five times. Franklin collapsed in the street, and died soon after. The car sped away.

So Ive been tasked with reviewing the new Walther Creed pistol. I know: Poor me, I have to shoot guns for a living. But theres a problem. How do I present it in an exciting, attention-grabbing way? Do I go with a Rocky-franchise reference? One of our Facebook followers attached a picture of Carl Weathers as soon as we posted the Walther Creed. Of course, Shooting Illustrated is known for its tortured musical references, so asking if the firearm public will accept the Creed with arms wide open is almost too cheesy to resist. Were talkin Lambeau Field headwear cheesy.
