The One(s) You Regretted Buying

[POP57]

My Ruger .357 does nothing for me.

Really?

S&W Sigma 380...what a piece of crap. The only and last time I ever bought a firearm from a magazine recommendation. Suck ass trigger and jammed on hardball.

Kel-Tec RFB. Absolute junk from the get-go. Bad reliability, bad accuracy, bad ergos, bad everything.

The one I really hate is the Sig Mosquito. It is so picky with ammo and I have nothing else that has given me so many problem. I now have it relagated to gun that is used in classes for demonstration but I never shoot it anymore.

Ditto ... Finicky with ammo and even the good stuff is not consistent.

Schultz & Larsen M65. Superbly accurate .243 but I so afraid of damaging it's beautiful wood stock, I ended up selling it and buying something I didn't mind beating-up in the woods. I should've know that it was too pretty to be practical.

The only one I somewhat regret is my Sig P290. Its a nice pistol, but it just doesn't have a place for me. I've been thinking about selling it soon.

HK P30. The only time I bought a gun strictly because of ergonomics. One of the worst triggers I ever felt. Sold it 2 months after buying it.

Mauser Broom handle. Re-bored to 9mm. Was going to be a project gun. Holds down a stack of papers real well.

Steyr GB. I despised it from the very first shot. It was a massive handful of pistol that was very fussy about the ammo it liked, had a horrendously heavy trigger pull, weighed a ton, had muzzle blast like a .357 Magnum, and shit accuracy with nearly every load I tried. The only good thing about it was tremendous magazine capacity (18) for its time (mid 80's) and it looked cool.

At the end of the day, the GB is a large steel framed 9x19. A gun can't transform 9mm into 357 Magnum. If anything, the GB has pleasant recoil and generally better than average accuracy due to having a fixed barrel of high quality. Did you have an actual Steyr or one of the Rogak knock offs? Now, the trigger is truly terrible. They tried to cram too much in too small a space. It's an odd pistol for sure.

Unless you upgrade the spring set. Then becomes the best trigger.

It wasn't the LEM trigger. It was the DA/SA. At the time, no trigger spring could make that trigger worth the work. Also, it wasn't just the trigger pull. It was the only trigger to ever pinch the skin on my trigger finger. I just figured an HK wouldn't require so much work to make it better. I was wrong.

My Tec 9. First pistol I ever bought back in 1990 and what a piece of crap. I thought it was cool because Kurt Russell had one in Big Trouble in Little China. I got it brand new and paid $150 when I lived in NC. I still have it but I can't tell you the last time I shot it.

Mossberg 500 tactical. I out grew it.

 

[davsco]

hk usc pistol caliber carbine. .45 and only could get 10 round mags. trigger was a total mush job even after sending it back to them to make better. was dumb to buy it but smart to sell it.

It was an actual Steyr. The only reason I said it had a lot of 'muzzle blast' was due to the odd way gas vented to the rear of the front barrel bushing in that delayed blowback setup. Maybe not terrible but, disconcerting for sure. Perhaps the reason I thought it was so inaccurate was because the trigger really was garbage. One of the worst I've ever had on any pistol.

You still have it?!?!

Chevellnut and I were just talking about this a few weeks ago. We need to get our hands on one for a video. We did a Mac 10, Mac 11 and Uzi video but are missing the Tec 9 to finish off the series
