What's your "never buy" gun? - Page 59

SSGDave · March 10, 2012, 12:10 PM

Lorcan-they're so much garbage it's not even funny-esp with the barrel welded to the lower, like one of those raven 25's. Real Garbage weapon.

SSGDave · March 10, 2012, 12:12 PM

Had a friend who bought a taurus revolver-357-and if you cock it or try to pull the trigger with the barrel facing up, it would lock the cylinder-rds would catch against the base plate. Bad Design, i'm thinking.

Really? I have 2 Raven's in my collection of 60 some handguns, All the way from Kimber custom on down. While not my favorite they have their place.

Many many folks have been shot by them and even killed, over the years.

Ever actually own one?

As far as a "never buy", it doesn't exist.

Orkan · March 10, 2012, 12:47 PM

Bohica Arms, or the new company with the same people making the same products - River Valley Ordnance.

I will never ever buy one, nor will I ever recommend one to anyone.

Add Vulcan/Hesse/Blackthorne to that list as well. It's always a clear indication of a company's worth when they have to change their name several times in a 10yr period.

Jaymo · March 10, 2012, 12:55 PM

Any Para Ordnance double stack 1911. Too much like trying to grip a brick.
Ditto for a .45 or 10mm Block, I mean Glock. Plus, I hate the garbage trigger pull on a Block.

Lee D · March 10, 2012, 01:09 PM

any "first editions"....i hate gun designs that dont have the bugs worked out yet

Jaymo · March 10, 2012, 01:21 PM

FEG SMC918. The slide bit me every time I shot it.

I will never buy a Taurus firearm, or really any cheaper-than-competiton budget gun or any gun with an unusually high reporting of bad customer service or poor quality (Raven / Bryco / Jennings / Rossi / Charter). Probably not even Kel-Tec.

I will buy and love Ruger, but Ruger is inexpensive, not cheap. Big difference.

Fully aware that makes me a brand snob and I'm fine with it.

tentonbrick · March 10, 2012, 05:33 PM

No glocks or keltecs are allowed in my house. {{shudder}}

dubya450 · March 25, 2012, 09:41 AM

Any single shot hunting rifle, any Taurus (bad experiences) and even though they look nice, handle nice and get good reviews for the most part I would necer buy any Japanese made Browning. I almost bought one over the last Winchester m70 I bought (and m70's are my favorite) until I seen "made in Japan" stamped on the barrel. I don't know what it is but i knew that'd always be in the back of my head distracting me while in the deer stand.

mberoose · March 25, 2012, 12:33 PM

AR-15

Yawn

BUCKrub91 · March 25, 2012, 01:25 PM

Anything made by taurus

High point pistols (id probably get one of the carbines for plinking)

old4x4 · March 25, 2012, 01:49 PM

Glock? Nope.

Tomcat47 · March 25, 2012, 01:51 PM

Glock and AK 47

1858remington · March 26, 2012, 03:24 AM

well, lets see.... guns I would never buy...
1. RG
2.Davis
3.Jennings
4.Raven
5.Bryco
6.Smith and Wesson: Sigma series
7.Colt: model 2000 (double action 1911)
8.Old Iver Johnson, and H&R breaktops (spit lead bad)
9.Colt:Mustang (unreliable)
10.Cobray
11.Desert Eagle (prone to breakage)
12.Taurus (inconsistent quality control)

N250Gs · March 26, 2012, 08:50 AM

Once my Taurus Judge fell apart while loading, that convinced me to think twice about a $500 good looking future wall mount. I would never use this frequently for fear of it failing when actually needing it.

ol' scratch · March 26, 2012, 09:19 AM

I don't know if I have one if the price is right. By 'right' I mean free in some instances.

The War Wagon · March 26, 2012, 09:20 AM

CHEAP AR's. DPMS, Del-Ton, RRA, Stag (unless In was a lefty, and then you're pretty much stuck.

Maybe you could get a stripped upper, and build it up correctly, though!), Olympic, Shrubmaster, et.al.

When you can get a BCM or a Colt for under a grand these days, there's NO excuse for a cheaply MADE AR any more.

clg114 · March 27, 2012, 11:20 PM

I have a hi-point for a truck gun. It's not so bad,if you don't mind big,heavy and ugly. I don't care,it stays in the truck where I don't have to look at it. It is a lot better than any of the Jennings family of guns. Those are just as likely to kill the shooter as the shootie.

Old Time Hunter · March 28, 2012, 12:00 AM

Another BB gun...have one, don't need another.

C Broad Arrow · March 28, 2012, 01:11 AM

Anthing that pretends to be something other than the real deal. Chicom immitations of well known models like the 1911, Sig 225 etc. Buy the real deal or go home!

mcdonl · March 28, 2012, 11:12 AM

Any gun that I could find a cheaper alternative to.

brnmuenchow · March 28, 2012, 11:38 AM

Kimber's: Sorry Kimber lovers there is just something about buying a gun made in a place called "Yonkers", New York bothers me. I know that's judgmental, but I am from Texas and I really don't care!
