Need a 50 dollar gun?

[TiminMishawaka]

I had a Jennings in .380. The chamber cracked on the second box. Then again, I did buy it for 35 bucks....

I acquired one from Mike at Pop Guns years ago.
I repaired his remote control for his RCA TV. Replacement remote wasn't available.
Payment was the Jennings. It's still in a box somewhere. Never fired or even opened up as far as I can recall now. It was the ugliest pistol (loose description) I'd ever seen.
I guess I've always been afraid to shoot it. I figured it'd come apart at the seams with the rimfires in it.

I have owned my Jennings 22 for 25 years or so, no problems with it yet.

I'm not standing up for the gun, but I wonder how many bashers here have actual experience with this gun.
IMO too many people give opinions on guns they haven't even shot.
I personally don't give opinions on things I know nothing about.
Some of my best
guns are ones labeled "junk" by those who haven't even held one. Lucky for me I didn't listen to them.

borrowed one from a buddy, "used" it, bought it off of him so I could throw it in the lake, bash it on a regular basis

So, I've looked at the title of this thread for a couple of days now and... Is it just me or does anyone else picture a guy whispering this from an alley as you're walking down a city street?

My dad used to have people come up to him when he was an ice cream truck driver in the 70's and ask if he "wanted to buy a gun for 5 dollars." Of course you said yes, because, well, you knew they had a gun.

This thread title reminds me of that.

I would spend $50 for it. For that price you can't go to wrong

I have a J-22 and let me tell you these guns are junk. I use it only as a tackle box gun. This is a gun that you have to know that it will not shoot the whole magazine of 6 shots without about 3 problems of some sort.

The one in the add looks like it's $50. But when I say that I mean that the seller would have to pay me $50 for me to take it.

If someone said they would give me the gun if I would give them the piece of gum I was chewing I would keep the gum.

If you go with jeminez, be prepared to use cci only. If its new, get it broke in, and you might be able to shoot a couple of clips of cci before it jambs up and needs cleaned and re-oiled.

Yea that is actually funny I use CCI because I researched it and found that as you said, that is the best ammo for it. But when your talking about a gun that holds 6 rounds in a magazine and you say "you might be able to fire a couple of magazines before it jambs up and needs to be cleaned and oiled" That is why this gun is a tackle box gun at best.

My FIL has one he inherited from his dad when he recently passed. It's in mint condition for a 20+ year old gun. He shot it and said it jammed once in 100 rounds, and no FTF/FTE's. It's a completely stainless or chrome, can't tell. With some sick custom grips. I'm thinking my wife's granddad had it worked on at some point.

He likes it so much I'm going to make him a pocket/wallet holster for it.

I have a .380 I bought at a sheriff's auction 30 years ago and use it for training. Trigger pull, etc and if I can hit a target at 15 yards with it I can do it with any gun I own. Best $50 I have ever spent on a gun. It has ate evrything I feed it with zero failures, but it is not a carry gun, just for training purposes. It does serve my purpose, just my 2 cents.

So how cheap would it have to be to buy these all in one lot? All but 4 are brand new. They are all [FONT=&quot]Jimenez, 9- 9mm's, 4-.380's, 1-.25, and 8-.22's[/FONT]. The .25, and 3 of the.22 are used.

 

[jwhite]

Seen one for $150 new at a gun store.. The guy working their talked me out of buying it. LOL..

 

[casper975]

I was looking at one but I bought a north american arms mini revolver instead its smaller and a lot better built and reliable than any of the ring of fire guns

 

[Birds Away]

I guess this is a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder. Being on a budget myself, I can understand wanting to shoot for less. But that might be taking it a bit too far.

...or you could have your oil changed, tires rotated, new filters and wash for the same price....

This is a gun purchase we're talking about. How dare you drag reality into it?
