What's the fastest you have sold a gun after purchase? Why?

lawdog89 · Dec 11, 2016

It wasn't a gun but I bought a .22 conversion kit direct from Beretta for my model 92. The day I took it to the range I had so many malfunctions with it regardless of the ammo brand, I almost threw it in the trash can at the range. I decided to sent that pos back to Beretta and got a refund.

Mossberg Semi Auto 12 gauge back in the 90's after two range trips. Was shooting clay and hit 100% of the time and got bored. Bought a pump right after selling and found it more challanging to hit the clays

Had a POS 1911 RIA. After 2 trips back to ARMSCOR and a total of 11 weeks (only owned it 14 weeks) they replaced it with a new pistol. Sold the new one unfired the very next day and bought a used COLT 1991A1, best 1911 I ever bought. It eats everything I feed it and have never a FTF / FTE.

Benelli SBEII, biggest regret of a gun purchase I made. I hunted with it one season, couldn't hit anything with it. First time I shot it is was like wtf did I just do? Ended up selling it for what I paid for it.

You should've bought a .410. That makes it a little more challenging. Fun fact: The first 400 straight was shot with 4 pump guns. 3 Mdl. 12's and a 42.

I'm not a big hunter but all my friends that do hunt swear by their SBE's.

I bought a late war K98K HT Sniper and posted it on a WWII firearms forum asking about what I had bought. A week later, a guy from that forum drove halfway across the country to give me approx. 45x what I had paid for it. I hadn't planned on selling it when I bought it but the guy had been looking for one of those for 25 years and his offer was more than generous.

Hand a Rock Island GI 1911. That thing was amazing. Sold it after just a few months so I could afford my Colt Government Model.

I bought a Marlin 336 for $50 and sold it for $50 to a friend of mine's brother. Had it for about 6 months. The reason to selling it.... I was young and stupid.

Yeah thats all I had heard from others, this is the waterfowl gun to end all waterfowl guns. Never jam, light recoil..... Well something with the recoil the same as a 416 rigby doesn't equate to light recoil in my world. Especially when you could be going through a box or 2 of shells in a day.

The quickest one I have ditched, would be the POS S&W Sigma....even after a trigger modification and lighter springs, it sucked...

I have sold several for either not being enjoyable to shoot, me not able to shoot it well, or just simply because I no longer wanted it...

Two Ruger 10/22's
Glock G17
Glock G19
Remington R1 1911
Ruger LCP
S&W Bodyguard

I've also gotten rid of a few that I regret doing so...
Winchester 190
Springfield Armory XD9
RIA 9mm 1911
HiPoint 995TS

Couple days, because the Shield 45 wasn't on MDs assinine roster.

Pinecone · Dec 11, 2016

We have only sold 2.

One was my first pistol, a Colt Government Mark VI Series 70. I sold it to my Dad to buy my Colt God Cup Mark VI Series 70. He still has it.

We sold a Ruger Red Label 20 gauge my wife won from NSCA. We had no need for it, and a friend was into Rugers, so gave us a good offer.

Goldslammer · Dec 11, 2016

Sold a Star PD .45 after two trips to the range. Hammer bite made my hand bleed, after 2-3 mags.
Good little gun, just too small for my meaty hands.

eightshot627 · Dec 11, 2016

2 years. Only sold 1 and it was a Browning BPS 10ga that I bought to deer hunt with buckshot in DE. But after shooting 2 deer and only geting 4 pellets in them combined I tried patterning it. It would not pattern buckshot. At 35yds it would only put 10 of the (18) 00 pellets on fully opened newspaper. Bird shot was just fine. I sold it to a goose hunter and bought at Savage 210 slug gun. I bought it because Dad and is buddy had them but after Dad shot my 210 and he had to have one. Now I hunt goose with his BPS 10.

I have not sell any of my guns yet. But a couple of them I wish to never bought them.
I guess happened to anyone a least ones.

SRD · Dec 11, 2016

Had a good friend(now deceased) that was always coming across deals.Walked out of his house with a Mariner 500 as another friend was walking in.Paid $150 and made $25 before the storm door shut. :lol2:

What is this selling thing you all speak of???

GTOGUNNER · Dec 11, 2016

Bought an AR from Lou just as the price was starting to decline from the High point. Lou, at the time was holding firearms till the ND came back as many FFLs were doing at the time.
The day i picked up the gun, a friend stopped over and asked if I had anything new. Told him I just put a box on the table. He looked at it and asked how much I paid. I told him i would sell for the same amount I paid, receipt was on the box.. He said OK. I had never even taken it out of the box. Of to MSP for the transfer..

S&W produced Walther PPK a few years ago. Sold it within a week and a half of owning it.

Jam-o-matic piece of crap, no matter what I did. I'd still like to get my hands on an interarms or earlier PPK. In .32. Blued.

One day :-)
