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

[22lr]

Kel-tec SU-16, it was light weight, accurate, pretty reliable, and very small. But the barrel was crazy thin and would get crazy hot after a single 10rd mag. A good bugout gun maybe, but I like to shoot my guns and the SU-16 is not a shooter. At least mine wasn't.

But it was also one of the guns I wish I still had. When I sold it 2 years ago it took me 3 days at the 1500 to sell it for $400, would have sold in 30 seconds at that price nowadays.

Both of these go back a ways: Mini 14; was not satisfied with the accuracy. Springfield Champion; couldn't get it to feed anything reliably.

Daewoo .40 S&W was the worst gun I purchased. I had trouble with from day one. It had a vibration in the handle when fired. I had a problem with the safety. I sent it to them for repairs and it took two months to get it fixed and back to me. I will never own one again.

Springfield XD-9 4". Accuracy was good, it never had a malfunction, and the ergonomics were good. The shape of the frame made it a little tricky to CC and for me the glock was more natural feeling.

I might pick up a SC xd-9 at some point, but for now I will stick to my glocks and kel-tecs.

S&W Sigma .40, no need to explain.
Ruger lcr crimson trace. Great gun, couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it. Hands are too big.

Ok guys I know I will catch hell on this one.
The Ruger 10/22. worst rifle I have ever owned.
Sent it back to Ruger three times, it never worked properly.
It had all the issues, ftf, fte, ftfire , stove pipes, you name it it did everything except work!

I tryed most brand of ammo, let other people shoot it . Still a nogoodnick.

I now own a Browning sa/22. Great rifle. no problems. jerry

 

[Indycar]

Colt Gov Model .380 constant FTF's. New mags didn't help

Glock 17 very unaccurate

Walther P22 Kaboomed in my hand

I'm curious to know how many of you bought these turds in the classifieds... and how many of you dumped them in the classifieds.

enough.

 

[LAZY DOG]

2340 SIG PRO COMES TO MIND POBABLY WHY THEY ARENT MADE ANY MORE .$500.00
DAISY 22 AGAIN NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION.$50.00
I STILL CANT BELIEVE HOW BAD THEY SHOT ESPECIALLY THE SIG. KIND OF EXPECTED IT FROM THE DAISY .IT JUST WAS MADE CHEAP. TRULEY EXPECTED MORE FROM THE SIG.

Springfield XD-9 4". Accuracy was good, it never had a malfunction, and the ergonomics were good.

Other than that, it was a real turd!


Yes, I own one and it's a terrific handgun.

Never sold, traded or given a gun away!

 

[slacker]

Fine firearm, just not for me

 

[samot]

Robinson XCR, to picky about being cleaned, not reliable, was not impressed with piston upper, if ya didnt clean it after 100 rounds it would jam repeatedly . sold it

 

[WLW]

Keltec
P3AT - Not reliable
PF-9 - Not reliable, killed your hand to shoot it

Sig
P232 - Disassembly latch fell down after each shot

Ruger
KP94 - trigger slop drove me nuts and it was BIG (with echo)...
Security Six - trigger slop and creep

S&W
422 - firing pin always would "mash" very accurate though

Kahr
PM9 - what a disappointment. FTE's, pinging, etc. and so on... two trips to the manufaturer is enough.

Taurus
PT-111 - total

You must have had a lemon. The 10/22 has been a good gun for many people including me.

 

[jeremy]

Glock, Ak, and an SKS... Glock just cause my muscle memory makes it a poor choice for snap shots. AK and SKS not reliably accurate enough...

 

[Gpfury86]

Taurus pt140 millenium pro, had some feed issues and trigger pull was terribly sloppy. Also got some surface rust after setting in my truck for a couple weeks.

[Sport69]

Ruger SP101, while rapid firing, the trigger would sometimes jam locking the cylinder!

Whatever needs must. Currently Afghans, Pakis, and Iranians are the need.
