Um, ok. What's wrong with it?

That don't look bad, except for the 4" barrel.

Photo not of his gun. German air rifle company. Revolver in question is half a step above Rohm in quality. Functionality is generously described as quirky.

Jennings J-22, Remington Nylon 66 - The Remington fed like a champ but the stock and receiver were of such thin material that it was easily broken and rendered irreparable.

Have any 66 parts left to sell?

blodter · Nov 25, 2014

Probably my Hi-Point 995. It's fun to shoot, but it's heavy, inaccurate, and fails to feed far too often. Plus the spring loaded recoil pad always pinches my neck upon firing in the prone position.

Sadly, no. It was my first personal gun received on my 18th birthday and it lasted not even two years.

Bought a .40 once :puke:

... sold it a month or two later.

The only thing I regret is my SPAS-12 not having the extended mag tube.

bbguns · Nov 25, 2014

Right..the pic isn't my pistol. Mine is missing the rear sight leaf. Didn't pay enough attention at the auction. That being said, I've only fired .38 specials through it and had no problems. But still wouldn't have bought it in it's incomplete state...

Nabla · Nov 26, 2014

I don't regret buying any of my guns, but I have two guns that I regret not buying. Both were from a small auction last year: an all correct Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk. 1 (T) sniper for $2.5k and a Springfield M1903 fitted with a Warner-Swasey for $3k... I don't think I can find deals like that again. Does anyone remember that auction, last August in Chestertown? It was a good one.

I regret this gun.
Signed,
No one

Jstevens56 · Nov 26, 2014

If I buy it, I'm keeping it. Have never sold a gun and don't plan to in the future.

Even if I may not exactly like a gun I'm still keeping it.

I have run a few different types, Ive been told i " limp wrist it " !!!

erwos · Nov 26, 2014

The gun I've come closest to regretting was an M44. I should have sucked it up and bought an M39. I also wish I had been able to find a "normal weight" Israeli FN FAL before the ban, instead of the way-too-damn-heavy FALO I was able to acquire (albeit at an excellent price, and it shoots awesome).

I also probably spent too much money customizing my Kareen, given that it still shoots an inch left at like 7yds. Might just need to play with the rear sight and drift it right, though. Or maybe I just suck. Excellent groups otherwise.

Junk Jennings .22 back in the day. Cheap and it would not cycle for sh!t

I've gotten rid of every gun I regretted, plus some others I now regret having got rid of. My least favorite: Glock 23. Just no fun to shoot. Cured me of Fo-Tay Fever for good.

LOL, I see a pattern emerging.

I had and hated an mp40 as well. Bought a 9, went home happy. sold the 40 to a delaware LEO.

Mr H · Nov 26, 2014

Interesting...

My M&P 40 is a go-to for me. No regrets, YMMV

TopTechAgent · Nov 26, 2014

I'm not so happy with the M&P 40 either. Actually more comfy on my side and easier to conceal for me than my g19. Hate shooting it though.

If I sell it to an FFL can they take my 10+ mags?

Edit: it's the M&P 40c (compact) to be fair and accurate.

maddogthegreatest · Nov 26, 2014

Only thing I regret is not bought enough....

40 was just darned uncomfortable for me and the wife. It was originally supposed to be for her but she kept stealing my 1911 instead. I finally said screw it, sold the 40 and bought another 1911. I love the ergonomics of the m&p though so I got myself a 9 for three gun.

Hey, Erwos, didn't know you're a Kareen owner. Post some pics so I can see which model. I'm building a little Hi Power collection, and a Kareen's somewhere on my list.

I don't much like 45 either. I bet 40 would be real nice in something like the STI Match Master, but I'm not buying a $2700 pistol to shoot a cartridge I don't like.
