Guns you’ve owned, that you’d never buy again (and why?)

[Burr Head]

Walther TPH...Jamomatic!!! BH

 

[Scorpsfan]

Seecamp .32, not that it was a 'bad' gun, just that I got tired of trying to qualify via the 'keyhole' shooting method.

Walter PPK/S – I loved this gun, BUT it’s old skool “carved from a hunk of lead” design made it impractical for what I wanted it for. Pocket carry. Without a belt on I’d lose my shorts with this in my pocket and no one wants to see that! Still, I suppose it did double as a small hammer/club.

I hear you about the Walther PPK/S.
I had one once, and it worked fine, except for the little habit it had of taking a chunk of flesh out of my hand when the hammer came back.
There wasn't any way I could shoot it without getting "bitten".
So I sold it.

I have sold, and traded quite a few guns I thought I was dissapointed in----.
Many if which I wish I still owned.
I NOW KNOW---I wasn't dissapointed---I just wanted another one---

 

[JCR]

Ruger P89 - Guaranteed to jam in 75 rounds or less.

 

[Hornett]

Two come to mind. Both because of the triggers.

Kel Tec P-11.: This is really an amazing gun. Small and carried LOTS of bullets, but the trigger was just awful. There are fixes for it on the Kel Tec Users Forum, but most of them require more than just slight changes to the frame and basic parts of the gun.

HK USPc 40: This gun had it all, or so I thought. 1911 style safety with a decocker, polymer, came in stainless. But again the trigger was terrible. Imagine dragging a bucket of sand across your driveway, that is a good metaphor for that trigger. Add to that that H&K hates civilians and no trigger upgrades are available (no parts are available for that matter) and I sold it.

Kel-Tec

Very poor trigger.

Over all poor quality.

 

[.452browning]

Hi Point CF380......more reliable and accurate if you throw it weakhanded

 

[dondavis3]

+1 .452browning

That's funny

 

[Ahgo]

A Taurus PT145. I liked it at first. Didn't have any feed problems, but it shot low. I tried changing the sights, but it still shot low (granted I didn't use adjustable sights). Accuracy would be the biggest problem I had with it.

 

[anthony010]

Lorcin .380 60 bucks from a pawn shop, read horror stories over the internet, bought 10 yrs ago hadn't fired it. Tried to clean it las year and lost a spring..lol 60 dollar paper weight

 

[GPD177]

A full size HK USP .40....huge gun, expensive, and an awful trigger pull. It did not do anything better than my glocks for nearly twice the price of the glock, and the glock had a much better trigger and was smaller as well.

 

[22lr]

Kel-tec SU16. The things was a complete POS. Its a survival grade gun, not meant to be shot with any kind of regularity in my opinion.

Ruger revolvers in general. The things are built like a tank, but after getting used to a S&W the hammer angle is very hard to get used to, and trigger pulls are a far cry from my old 19-5. Great utility guns, but to uncivilized for my tastes.

 

[mikeplan14]

Colt LE6940 (at least not sight unseen). Bad fit and finish - the finish on the lower was sub-par, with a 1" section bubbled up, and the slop between the upper and lower was much more than any other AR I've ever handled

 

[STEEL CORE]

S&W 459 grip of a 2x4.

 

[BigD]

I had an H&K pistol from the 70's a while back. Can't remember the model number. Not only was it an ugly gun, but the slide wouldn't stay back when it was empty. You never knew if you had a loaded gun. Had to get rid of it.

 

[jayeff]

Grendel P10 .380 the former name of Keltec.
Wouldn't extract usually and wouldn't feed when it did. I sent it back twice and they never did make it right. I still have it as I couldn't in good conscience sell it.
I swore I'd never again buy anything from Grendel ( now Keltec) and I haven't.

 

[LuckyGunner]

Let me put on my flame suit...........alright. For me it was my gen 3 Glock 23. I had shot a couple range guns and friends. Glocks just never fit me right. I came by an amazing sale on Glocks and figured I would give it a try. I shot a couple thousand rounds through it and while I shot just as accurate. I didn't like it for some reason. I had a couple FTF in the beginning but that was probably due to my grip...

I've thought about trying a gen 4, but I just prefer a different grip angle.

Colt All American 2000 - trigger pull is terrible

 

[tobi]

Just thought of another one - an old iver johnson 22 cal revolver. I had it when I was a kid & don't remember the model but it would throw as much lead out of the side as it would down the barrel
