Purchases You Have Regretted

[protegeV]

I regret my first handgun purchase. S&W sigma 9mm. What a pos. Sold it shortly after purchasing my 2nd handgun.

 

[Bafflingbs]

A Stag model 2. The rifle is great! But I paid way too much for it. WAY TOO MUCH ! Gun show purchase, around March 2013.

Excel accelerator 17 hmr pistol. Doesn't cycle. Company blames ammo.

Kel-Tec RFB. Replaced with FN SCAR 17S. Night and day difference.

 

[Blaster229]

Shitty LCP and a shitty Walther P22. Both sucked ass eating ammo.

What problems did you have with them?
I guess I've been lucky, since I own both and have not had a problem with either of them.

Overall, probably the 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse I bought from a "friend" for $2500 (Inspected) for my son just before he actually even got his license.

POS was nothing but problems...alternator, motor mounts broke, major oil leaks sprung up, exhaust rattle, tire tread separated, etc....and this all happened between the day I bought it, and 3 months later when I sold it...which was a month or two before my boy even got his license. I was driving it occasionally to make sure it was a decent car, which it wasn't...lol.

Sold it "as-is" to some couple for $1500 just to get out from under it, even filled the gas tank first, and the guy was a self proclaimed Mitsubishi expert...til they called me a week later wanting their money back because the engine blew up, from the expert never fixing the oil leaks I showed him, and his girl running it out of oil...

That was my first, and LAST, used foreign car purchase. I've NEVER bought a new car in my life, nor have I ever sold a car due to it just being a regrettable mistake. I'm a mechanic by trade, since 1981, and have bought, sold, flipped, wheeled & dealed and traded cars since then...and I have never sold a car for less than I paid for it.

My house in Maryland. Not because of the house, because of the laws, taxes, and political BS. Guns...can't think of any. Many I regret SELLING though.

 

[Redcobra]

A Zoli 26" barrel fixed choke O/U skeet gun. Too short for me. Lost a bit when I sold it.

The list is long, but distinguished.
- Beretta 92FS Centurion (first purchase). Simply didn't fit me.
- Ruger P95. Also didn't fit, but easily remedied with almost equal-value sale.
- Kel-Tec Sub2000 (P226 magazines). Couldn't get it to function reliably, even after two trips to the factory for repairs.
- Walther PPS 9mm. Talk about whippy/stingy...
- Walther P22. Not bad, just mechanically eccentric and a little too small to be enjoyable.

This list doesn't take into account conceal-specific handguns purchased in VA but sold after moving to MD due to inability to carry.

smith and Wesson 22.NEVER BUY A GUN THAT SHOOTS ONLY ONE BRAND OF AMMO!!!!

 

[jti424]

Not that I necessarily regret purchasing because it's not a bad rifle... But being naive during the gun crisis of 2013 I over paid by about $150 on a Stevens .22lr.....

A purchase I regret NOT buying would be every mosin on the shelf for under $100. Love to shoot my mosin but creeping into $200 just doesn't feel right.

SIG .22LR Mosquito.

To quote JOESTEELER "NEVER BUY A GUN THAT SHOOTS ONLY ONE BRAND OF AMMO!!!!"

 

[protegeV]

So, I'm seeing a lot of people that really dislike their 22 pistols. Are there ANY good ones that are modeled after a centerfire "big brother" and not a dedicated 22 like a mkIII or buckmark?

 

[BUFF7MM]

I've got at least two, a Walther 22 jamomatic and a Taurus DAO 380 revolver, not a bad shooter but the moon clips were a pain in the rear to deal with.
