I have a Ruger P89 that I just cant seem to warm up to. It feels ungainly to me. I took it as a trade item some time ago. Don't shoot it much. I am a fan of other Rugers I have had, or have now. I love my OMV .45 Colt as well as my 10-22s and Standard .22 pistol.Guess we can't love them all.

Sig Mosquito..
Sproingy trigger. Jammed a lot unless I ran the expensive ammo. Was a total letdown.
Sent it on its way to another lucky owner, at least I didn't lose any money on it.

I had an AMT Hardballer, stainless steel 1911A1 that was sure purty on the outside, but not worth a fiddler's toot when it came to shooting. I bought it back in the '80's.
There was a reason AMT went out of business, and if you see one, at any price, don't think you can take it home and fix it. The last owner thought the same thing!

Funny you mention AMT. I put my -06 on Armslist, and I got a response from a guy wanton to trade me an AMT backup II .380.
I laughed for a sec, then deleted the email.

Walther P22, most inaccurate and ammo picky gun I have ever fired. I HATED the mag release on that thing.

Glocks. I just can't love them. I don't shoot them well, I have to modify them to shoot cast and they don't hold up well to case head separations. Nothing against them, they just aren't for me.

I keep trying to like Colt Single Action Army revolvers, but cannot.
I shot a Smith & Wesson "Classic Series" Model 22 (.45 ACP), and did not like anything about its gritty trigger and poor accuracy (due to the gritty trigger). The REAL S&W classics - well that is a different matter entirely.

Had a Walther P-38 that I absolutely loved, but I couldn't shoot it worth a darn so I sold it.
Also had a Colt 1911 that emptied hot brass on my head and neck (otherwise I loved it). Sold it.
Briefly owned a Charter Bulldog, but I didn't feel that I could trust it with my life. Sold it.
The biggest heartbreak of them all was a Springfield M1A. My plan was to reload for it but when I saw how badly my new brass was beaten, I realized that I could not afford to feed it for the amount of shooting that I expected. Sold it.

+1 On that one
The point where I realized I had enough with the P22 is when I would offer my friends to shoot it (free ammo) and they would politely decline because it was such a jam-o-matic, inaccurate, and quite frankly boring to shoot. I promptly traded it in.
I have been a bet jaded with full reciprocating slide 22LR semi-auto's ever since. Unfortunately, my girlfriend fixated on a "pretty pink" Sig Mosquito at a gun show last month. I have been trying to talk her into a buckmark instead...

I think that list would be much longer.Ever love a gun you just couldn't have?
The AR - thought I really wanted one - had one - it shot great, carried nicely, ate nearly any ammo - but I just didn't love it. Sold it for a modest profit - picked up a swedish mauser and an old bolt action .22 and have never looked back. I guess I am not a fan of semi-auto rifles.

I bought what I referred to as "The Pimp Daddy," a Taurus PT-100 in bright chrome, gold accents and rosewood grips. It looked great at first, then I started thinking it was too much of a barbecue gun for me, even at the range. Fortunately (the only good thing about the current anti-gun mania), I made a few bucks on it after selling it last year.
I also have a NAA Guardian in .32ACP. It feels good in my hand....until I pull the trigger. You wouldn't think that little cartridge, in an all steel gun, would kick that much. It's also jammed a few times. That said, I have less than 100 rounds through it and won't right it off until I get somewhere between 250-500.
