Purchases You Have Regretted

[erwos]

Regretted? That's a strong word. There are very few guns I've regretted buying. Mostly what happens is that they become obsolete relative to other guns in my collection.

Believe it or not, the only gun I ever regretted buying was a Remington 870. I didn't like the bead sight, I didn't like the stock, and I didn't particularly like the action.

I regret buying a P226 in .40. Should have bought it in 9mm. I'm starting to regret buying a sig 250C.

M&P 9...

Sorry hear to that. Only purchases I regret are the ones I didn't make.

M&P 9...

That's one I was thinking about buying, what did you not like about it?

 

[sailskidrive]

That's one I was thinking about buying, what did you not like about it?

• Terrible trigger break
• Cheap internals
• Rust specks on slide (early issue)
• Sights canted from the factory

It's the only handgun I've ever sold. Except for the machining of the slide, over all the gun seemed very cheaply made.

To S&W's credit they did replace the slide and fix the sights without much fuss.

An older Charter Arms Bulldog. Not only was it just horribly made, I WAY overpaid for it.

Sold it without even shooting it.

I bought a SIG P250C .45ACP at the gunshow in Upper Marlboro... didnt know much about the P250, but I carried a M11 when I was deployed and I like it alot, so I bought on brand name (#FAIL). The trigger is horrible and ruins an otherwise solid gun.. that and the 8 (9 if you dont like your fingers) Mag capacity... smh.

So if that P250c45 needs a new home... I could help... The trigger ain't for everyone but some like it. Pm me if you wanna be rid of it

Like the title says. Have you ever made a gun purchase that you subsequently regretted?

To those that keep saying they regret buying a home, please refer to the OP again .

I think i am in this boat as well....

 

[Deep Creek Rock]

Taurus M380, it really wasn't a bad gun, just those damn moon clips were a PITA to load. Traded it on a Sig P238.

I was wondering what happened to that thing. Thats a new record for short ownership for you ... no ?

Like the title says. Have you ever made a gun purchase that you subsequently regretted? Like wondered why you ever wanted it in the first place.

Mine is a Henry .17hmr. I like leverguns but have no idea what I was thinking getting into the .17 caliber. Should have just stuck with .22LR.

Can yhou be more specific about your reasons, please? I've been considering getting into .17 HMR and would like as much input (opinions) as I can get before investing the dinero...

 

[gutshootem]

Haha, I was reading through this thread trying to think of a gun and I think ill just have to go with "a home in md" as well.

i started with .22lr i was thinking about a .22wmr..

[stu929]

i have the TT33.. and a 9mm barrel for it so both calibers.. accurate .. needs a little trigger work BUT GREAT shooter...

I think my uncle got one of those when I was around 10. It couldnt hold minute of trashcan at 15 yards!
