Do You Keep What You Don't Like?

I've owned a number of guns, and usually think about what I will buy very carefully. But for years I heard so much praise for Kimbers and I wanted a small 1911. The Ultra CC felt so nice, looked so nice, and essentially shot very accurately for a 3 inch barrel semi. But despite a few trips back to Kimber, it never was as reliable as I expect in a firearm that might help defend my life. I'll admit I hemmed and hawed for quite awhile until I decided to at least trade it in and end up with something I really wanted. In this case it was a S&W 617 that I love to shoot.

No way! I had a Taurus 357 revolver that I traded for a S&W and a S&W 22 semi auto that I traded for a Ruger Mark II. Never regretted either tade for a minute. I have a Browning Buckmark that I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with when I first got it. I have improved shooting it so I think it is me and not the gun. Time will tell with that one. I think guns, like everything else in life, is hit and miss--pun intended!

Kind of, but it's not that I don't like it. The ones that I definitely don't like are gone, but that was 2 only, in my life. I also have a Ruger stainless 7" Redhawk topped with a Silver Burris 2X scope. It gave me a thrill once, back in a time when I wanted bigger and better popguns, and the Ruger was the sexiest looking .44 maggie available. It's just that I don't shoot it anymore; I'm not much for wheelguns. I've been selling it several times and actually had buyers twice, but I backed out every time. Something is making me keep it. I still think it's the best looking .44, though the Colt Anaconda rates a very close second.

Should I keep my Glock 22?

I am new to shooting. I bought a Glock 22 after buying a Smith .45. I can shoot the Smith pretty good but the Glock I have a very hard time with. I am thinking about trading it for something else. Will I learn to shoot it better with a lot of practice or should I get rid of it? I tried once but changed my mind.

I don't keep anything I don't like ,for whatever reason. I have regettably traded or sold many guns that I did like.

If it's a handgun I'm buying, I'm simply not likely to buy anything that I'm not already positive I will like. The process of buying and selling handguns here in NY is such a pain, that it's really not worth even dealing with any 'experimental' purchase choices.
