guns i regreat buying

winchester 1400 auto total junk floating rib broke a few times . metal screws holding the ejector bar strip total piece of *%&#
 
CZ75---2 of them. Both had terrible machining, rattle-can finish, worst trigger on any handgun I've ever owned or fired, numerous FTE's. Other than the ergos, I just don't get the following.

Kahr P40. Barrel peening issues, felt like an M80 going off in your hand on every shot!

I own a 75BD and I'm with you about the piece of crap trigger. But otherwise that gun is a tank. Fit, finish and operation are all 100%.

Eh, but what do I know. ;)
 
A double barrel 20 guage shotgun made by Sloan- Pride of Spain. What a joke, that POS would jam everytime it fired.:barf: That's right, it jammed. Took about a minute to unload on the easy times. It took 10 to 30 minutes, a screw driver, and several swear words to get the stubborn shells out.:cuss: Took her to two different gunsmiths, neither one could fix her. Traded her in to help pay for my first 1911.:cool:
 
nagant revolver. Trigger needed dremel work to work reliably in SA and even then sometimes it still doesn't go boom when the hammer drops.
 
The Remington 710 in 270 win. i get about 1 1/2 foot groups at 100 yards with it. I still have it to fill that 270 gap in my collection.
 
I can honeslty say in over 40yrs there is only one gun [in my life time so far, I've owned about 300 guns] I bought and regretted buying, mostly did like the punny caliber, fired maybe a box thru it and sold it: 270... just hated it!

Prolly becaused I missed a 14 point Mule Deer at about 300 yrds...and it was the first time in more than a decade that I had left my favorite 308**...500 yard tack driver AT HOME...

308 is what I carried while in the Army 66-69...just crazy about the THREE-O-EIGHT!
 
Walther P22...a recurring theme. It felt good holding it but jams constantly no matter what ammo I feed through it.
 
5 1/2” polished stainless Ruger Vaquero in 44 mag. At first I couldn't shoot it outside when the sun is high because the sun will shine back in my eyes from the gun. I sand blasted the top of it to fix that. The trigger was horrible and after some tinkering I got it where I wanted it. Never was able to get that gun to shoot under 2” @ 25 yards with various factory and hand loads. Then the front sight fell off. I silver soldered that back on and now it just sits on a shelf and hasn’t been used in several years.
My Ruger Blackhawk and S&W 44s are tack drivers but the Vaquero has a muzzle crown issue from what I understand.
 
Had a Colt Mustang once which I bought used. I shot it and it was a jammatic. Had no patience to try to figure out why the gun jammed. Sold it at a loss. Learned something on that deal, but I don't regret buying it. After my first revolver, I never bought another "cheap" firearm. So, as with all manufactured products, you can run into problems from time to time.

I hate to say it but just because you sell them that doen't mean you should shoot one.
KEL-TEC P-11 shot 8 shots through it and on the 9th shot she really went boom. Even the next guy at the range looked over. It fired with the breech still patially open, somehow. Had to put it in a vise to get the spent shell out. Gun was entirely warped, sent it back to Kel-tec to be repaired they sent back a new one old one was unfixable. Oh ya, the triger spring also broke. SOLD THE GUN REAL QUICK. Still sell them just won't trust MY life to one
