    Ruger LCP. Terrible pistol. Was glad to take the trade in hit on another pistol.

    Sent from somewhere in the world.

    I tried blocking this from memory....SCCY CPX-1.

    Great experience buying it. Lousy experience shooting it. Actually fell apart when it was fired. Pins worked loose, sights came off. Safety ripped into thumb when the pistol was fired. Easily the hardest shooting 9mm I have ever seen.

    SIG Mosquito .22. Could never get more than 6 or 8 rounds without some type of FTF/FTE malfunction. Sold it and bought a Browning Buckmark. Never looked back.

    Not what I wanted to hear as I am waiting on my paperwork to come back. I really would have liked to have tried one first but couldn't find anyplace that had one to rent. On the other hand, I guy I met recently said his wife bought one and loves it which is real surprising.

    I love my XDS. It is a little tough on the palm but it is accurate as hell for such a small sight radius. You just have to hold the damn thing a little tighter than you would a normal 45. My 12 year old brother shot a mag through it and kept all shots in 5 inches at 15 yards. I got it for carry purposes, and it excels at that. It is really narrow for a 45.

    I wouldn't call mine terrible; definitely not a "fun at the range" gun, though. More like the noisy cricket from MIB. It's a purpose-built gun, and for it's purpose, it works well. (Or at least mine does.)

    I must have owned the only well-functioning Mosquito that Sig ever made.:lol2:

    ~3k rounds, and never a single malfunction; its the only gun I've ever shot that could reliably cycle Thunderbolts. I still ended up trading it in because I picked up a threaded 22/45 and it was way more accurate.

    Regret not buying the used HK USP 9 at a gun show last year for $500. It was the LEM with the light DA trigger and funnel jet kit. DOH! stoopid me!

    Sig Mosquito for me too. That gun is so problematic it's more frustration than fun. Mine has improved over time though, so it may eventually be fun. If I had it to do over, I definitely wouldn't buy it knowing what I know now.
