Deal breakers

[Sniper 79]

Poor quality,fit,finish,anything blued or wood,off brand,company rep,parts availability,holster availability

I wouldn't buy someone's Frankin AR build or a gun that has any mods to it.

I know lots of deal breakers for me and I only listed some. Its quality not quantity for me.

If a rifle cant shoot an MOA or better its gone or if a pistol has a light primer strike or fails in any other way its gone. Pistol also has to shoot accurately. Should have holes touching at ten yards and ring the gong at 150.

Any handgun with a Ron Cohen Rainbow Brite colour scheme. Any handgun featuring a Ron Cohen Krav Maga action pose. Any handgun that Ron Cohen could have had the opportunity to breath on.

Pretty much any handgun for me then, but a Ron Cohen handgun.

What?!?! You don't like the P238 Rainbow? Or the 1911 Zombie Edition? Those are such timeless classics

I'll bet you dont even have Zombie Max ammo in your house!! Pfft!!!

loaded chamber indicators depending on the gun (ruger specifically) on their sr series those drive me nuts now the ones on the xd series do not bother me

 

[cook5oh]

For me it's anything containing the letters CKOGL in their name.

I have a loaded chamber indicator on my Shield and my M&P. They are not really even noticeable. Just a hole in the barrel so you can visually check for brass. Heck, even my RO has one.

Not sure why they would be a deal breaker though several have listed it as such.

It depends on how the loaded chamber indicator is done. Some are better than others and some are a PITA. Glock's slightly raised extractor is fine by me but I did not care for the LCI on my CZ 97B.

 

[MCgrease08]

After shooting a Ruger LC380 today, I'd say that gun would be a deal breaker.

It has a mag disconnect, external safety, and a loaded chamber indicator that Evil Kenevil could have used as a ramp to jump Snake River Canyon.

Add in the fact that it's DA only, has a ton of recoil, is a sub par caliber and multiple feed issues and you've got a stinker of a self defense gun. I'm not sure how anyone could carry that thing.

wow, thats a lot of hate for sig sauer?, kirk eat a snickers, you turn into a diva when your hungry!


quite honestly the only gun i hate with a burning passion is the phoenix hp22, if you need 3 safety's on a gun, i think you need to let "darwin" take it's course! i mean come on, if we have to put labels on bleach that say"do not drink" i think we are "supporting" the soultion, rather than the cause!

 

[seedubs1]

Internal safeties like the post lock Smith's are complete no goes for me. I will not own any of that lawyer BS.

Mag disconnects are also no goes. I won't own a gun with one.

Everything else is negotiable.

 

[Madjack181]

Any gun that the seller is so in love with he won't consider selling for anything less than a pie in the sky price.

 

[Tester]

Deal breakers for me would be any firearm built or modded by someone who obviously did NOT know what they're doing g. JB welds gone wrong and so on.

 

[fundy87]

I just don't like plastic triggers

 

[Drail]

Considering how many years it took the human race to evolve and create and perfect chrome moly tool steel the idea of making a gun from plastic seems - childish.

 

[walt o]

Can't help it PLASTIC....

 

[prescut]

I don't care for anything refinished. I love to see the honest wear on some of my vintage firearms. It adds character.
Worst of all, it indicates to me that the piece was so bad, someone had to start over and cover it up. The price after a refinish is usually 50% less. I don't believe it pays to refinish a beat up gun unless it was not saleable and you had to cover up damage.
Lost

 

[Faine]

1. Seller is a tool.
2. Price is unrealistic for the value of the gun.
3. Non-Removable magazine disconnect.
4. Uncomfortable in the hand. (With all the options out there, get something that fits you.)
5. I want to say customizations, but I am ok with some. A good stipple job is no hinderance but a bad duracoat/cerakote/paint job might be. Non-Proffessional trigger work done by random Joe in his shed not a plus.
6. DAO
7. Not in the caliber selection I've chosen for my collection.

 

[DRob]

Any gun with the word "Tactical" or "Operator" in it's name or description is out!

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Any gun with the word "Tactical" or "Operator" in it's name or description is out!

What about "Tactical" AND "Operator" in the name? Eh?

 

[DRob]

What about "Tactical" AND "Operator" in the name? Eh?

That made me laugh. Now that you mention it, it would be out twice!

 

[Faine]

That made me laugh. Now that you mention it, it would be out twice!

Out twice, is that like three lefts make a right, or a double negative....would it then be in?
