LOL...yes, you did...but it's shortcomings sealed the deal for me upgrading, so it worked out.

Ruger LCR .22LR - No hammer for single action and the double action was just too heavy for my daughter, and even I, to keep it on target.

Benelli Super Black Eagle II, worst gun I've ever shot. I had to have one! Shot it and said wtf did I just do!? It had the worst kick out of ANYTHING I have ever shot and I couldn't hit Micheal Moore at 3 feet. Horrible, horrible purchase. Couldn't sell it fast enough.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have a SBE II and love. One of the few reports I've heard of someone not liking a Benelli.
What'd you replace it with?

I ended up replacing it with the browning maxus which was what I was on the fence about getting between the 2. Yeah I'm not sure if it was a bad gun or what because I had 4 other people shoot it and said the same thing about it.
Ruger 22/45 threaded.
I regret it, since I was shopping for a good suppressor host, and I bought it knowing only internet folklore about its merits as a host for a 22lr can.
It was way louder than expected, so it was immediately relegated to my dad as a practice pistol.
Bad move on my part, and it was a $300 lesson.

Buy a used S&W 422, 622, or 2206 for a nice suppressor host. Barrels are already threaded, just need an adapter.

On an impulse some years ago I bought one of those Henry AR-7 "survival" .22s from WalMart, you know, the gun that fits in its own stock and floats! It is a really neat concept but boy, I was unimpressed!
First, it was not accurate. At all. If I needed to shoot a small critter for food in a survival situation, this rifle would not have done the job. Fail.
Second, and almost as problematic, it would not function without constantly jamming.
I sold it ASAP and have not missed it. So far, that is the only firearm I ever regretted buying. Maybe I had a dud or maybe they all were that way, I don't know. Cool concept, poorly executed.

My first and second boats...
Will probably regret my third boat purchase also.

Agreed, it's rare to hear someone not love their Benelli. I loved my SBEII so much, that a few years later I also picked up an M2, which I also love. Both left-handed.

I ALMOST bought one a year ago. Read WAY too many stories just like yours. Glad I passed.

A little Kahr 9mm single stack pistol was my most regrettable purchase. Didn't fit me well and stung to shoot along with minute of barn door accuracy. Still have it though. Others were a couple of junk .22's to 'restore' that just take up safe space now. I also have a decent Yugo SKS that's just too nose heavy to enjoy. I'd trade it in a heart beat for a comparable standard SKS.

I'm highly surprised. I picked up a Benelli Nova, a buddy picked up a Benelli Nova Tactical, and another buddy picked up a Bennli Nova and Benelli Super Nova Tactical. We all love them and shoot them frequently.
Maybe you got one that was slightly off?

Bought all of these used and sold them all for at least what I paid. I am sure they are all fine guns, but they all shot way too low for me. I do not like having to cover the target with the muzzle

This gun is truly a piece of shit if you actually plan to use it regularly - Sold it for a loss and bought a Benelli m2 - very happy now

I don't have any firearms I regret buying, but I do regret buying certain accessories; KAK Flash Can, Blackhawk Axiom R/F Knoxx Stock for 10/22, non-folding irons for my flat top AR.
Same thing. Although I brought my SBE2 from a coworker who had won it in a raffle. I used it one waterfowl season. Nicely made, but I couldn't hit with it. Sold it for $800, what I paid, and got a Maxus. Love that gun!
