Purchases You Have Regretted

[MPDickerson101]

Regrets....
1. PS90 - love it for what it is, but the unavailability of inexpensive and plentiful ammo kills it (for me)
2. FiveSeven - for the same reason!
3. BIGGEST regret is missing out on the Seekins billet lower group buy last year!

SPAS-12 and a Mossberg 500 Bullpup.... Wouldn't bet my life on either... Luckily got out of them what I had in them.

Me neither. I just wanted a SPAS-12 as a collectors' item. My mossberg would serve an HD purpose better.

The only gun I have regretted was a Springfield loaded 1911. It failed to go into battery way to often for my liking.

Buying a poly lower during the height of the insanity. I could have gotten a forged for not much more And irony is that I still don't have it thanks to MSP. No, I won't sell it to you, it will get a 22 upper.

And yes, the ex-wife was a mistake, but the kid from the marriage is aces, so I'll consider it a wash. Even if he didn't want to go to the Fredneck show today. (Because current gf is a step up: she hates empty ammo cans, and insists we fill them.)

FNX-9. It was my first gun purchase and at the time felt really good in my hands. No problems at first, but then I started fixing my grip and realized that the safety lever on the back would dig into my thumb every time I fired thanks to the recoil. Left the range with a small blister. Traded it towards a Walther PPQ in 9mm.

That's a shame, I had the fnp-9, loved it.

I sort-of regret buying a Glock 22 - it was horrible... the worst accuracy of any gun I've owned but the upside is when I went to sell it I found another SIG 220 and selling the Glock made it a little easier with the wife adding another 220 to the collection.

the FNP and the FNX or FNS are completely different beast . FN really screwed the pooch when they took what was a great gun and cheapened it.

Hi-point carbine. Not such a smart move. Fun when it feeds... which isn't often.

Regrets? I have learned to save and buy what I really want, not the cheaper version and then trying to "upgrade" later. I really shop triggers now!

A $100 Union Switch & Signal 1911 ............ what they're worth today

Only regrets are things I didn't buy before they were banned. Plan on breaking the piggy bank and getting all I can before the new ban goes into effect in October!

Only regrets are the ones I didn’t buy!

Worst purchase every........... luggage to move to Maryland

Springfield XD 40, I think it felt great but once I took it to the range I knew it had to go, bad trigger, grip stunk, and to me it felt like a POS once I got it out of the store....

Springfield XDM 45 3.8 Compact pure complete garbage, at times it won't go back into battery and the trigger sucks. Sent it back to Springfield they checked it over and said what it's doing was normal. Sorry but I won't trust my life to a POS. If it's true and it's Rob Leatham's design and baby he should have gone to sleep that night.

Lmao...

I never liked the ergos of the XD line at all, but never heard too many complaints. But your quote there was just too dam funny.

Kel-tec PF-9. I like it ok and it runs fine just the Smith M&P Shield came out right after I bought it. I'd rather have that.

 

[comecamping]

Not really a purchase - but my dad left me a .31 black powder darrenger. I have yet to fire it.

 

[brewergeek]

Family regret that turn out not to be: .44 Auto-Mag Dad purchased it on a whim around 1980 (big Clint Eastwood fan). Never fired it since it was hard to get cartridges so he never really took it out of its case.

Now it's listed as a C&R and worth 5x what he paid for it. Now it's mine (inheritance) to clean up (some rust from sitting it its case for decades) but basically still a display piece.
