Mine is a S&W S22a

Sure its reliable and accurate with a red dot but the sights are garbage(too large) and its heavy..

I see a buckmark in my future.
 
My Bersa Thunder .380. The recoil is annoying and always bothers the web of my hand when I shoot, and ammo is expensive. It is a neat little gun though.
 
my 870...a great shotgun to be sure, comb is too high for me and my heart is set on a Red Label All Weather, to match the rest of my ruger posse, but alas, a college budget cannot allow
 
All of them.

CZ Rami - just a gun
Prewar hi power - same thing
Garand - same thing
Ruger single six - same thing
Mossberg 44 - same thing
CVA Optima elite - same thing (all 3 barrels)
Rough Rider - Same thing

If I hate the gun... I wont keep it (includes the mosin nagant, 1911 without a solid mainspring housing). I try not to love inanimate objects... there are more important things to get attached to.
 
I don't love my Winchester Wildcat. It's OK but typical rimfire scope rings don't fit it. I'm thinking of buying a CZ 452 instead. The Wildcat was the first gun I bought.
 
My Kahr MK9. I used to love it b/c it was so small (pocketable) and still chambered for 9mm, but lately, I've found myself wanting to go to a more crisp trigger. I'm not going to get rid of it...but I think a Springfield EMP is in my future.
 
Marlin 336 in .30-30. Stiff action, stiff loading gate (both of which should improve I'm sure), and generally solid gun generally mean it gets left in the safe.
 
I have a 1936 German Luger in great shape. Only one number doesnt match. It was taken of a dead German officer during WW2 by a guy in the 101st. That guys daughter gave it to my dad, who in turn gave it to me for xmas one year when i was like 16.

I dont love it by any means but it IS a beautiful peice of machinery. And i rarely shoot it. I allways think of selling it and buying somthing id use a lot more. But cant bring myself to. It has the original wood plug magazine, wood grips and the original leather holster.

Dont hate it, but dont love it. Anyone wanna buy a Luger? :)
 
I do not love nor hate my KelTecs .32/.380 and P11 9mm.
They take up a small corner of one small shelf in the gun room...I prefer to just ignore them.

The P9's can find the trash can anytime they wish.
 
My Benelli Nova, it's reliable, handles all 2.75" to 3.5" loads easily, and I don't mind if it gets scratched and beat, but I can not love it like my Ithacas and Winchesters.
 
I don't really love any of them. I have a pretty rapid turnover, I don't think there are more than 3 or 4 in inventory that have been there for more than 2 years.
 
I sold just about everything that I don't really love, but I have a Springfield Armory XDM in .40 that is a great shooter, utterly reliable, but I am just not crazy about for whatever reason.

I keep it, and I shoot it, but it just isn't particularly exciting to me.
 
Traditions buckskinner .50 caliber percussion cap muzzle loader.

Got it as a gift. It's fun to shoot on rare occasions (i.e. I haven't shot it in over a year now) but I'm not overly attached to it. It looks nice, shoots just fine, but I just can't seem to really like it. I'm really indifferent to it.
 
the only gun I have ever traded was an original Ruger Bearcat that I purchased in the early 60's. Don't really remember why I traded it, I think because my hands were too large to hold it comfortably... but I traded it for a high class fly rod and reel.

After the kids broke the rod, and I broke the reel within only a couple years, I'm actually sorry I traded that little revolver. Never sold, or traded another firearm...only accumulated more. Do I have some I don't use much? Yes. But that does not mean they arn't ever taken out.
 
Stoeger Cougar in 9mm... The gun is great for the money (reliable and accurate), but it's bulky, uncomfortable to rack, and I can't stand slide mounted safeties (I don't really like safeties at all, for that matter). I only paid $300, and it just wouldn't pay to get rid of what is essentially a fine firearm due to a few minor design flaws (for me).
 
My collection right now (4 guns) and budget are such that guns I don't love but don't hate get traded out for guns that I love. The best example is the the M&P .40 I picked up new earlier this year, it was OK but after several range sessions the initial excitement faded down to neutral. I straight-traded that for a Beretta PX4 Storm SC, which was a great gun but pretty much duplicated the size and utility of another gun in my safe, the 6906, which I liked a lot better. I started hunting around for a trade on the PX4 and ended up trading into a Walther PPS .40 with night sights and 3 spare mags (I added some cash for that one) that I'm very happy with: I like the shooting characteristics, fits in a cargo pocket and can be packed anywhere (camping, day hiking) while being chambered for a round that will get the attention of anything I'm likely to encounter in my parts.
 
My Glock 19 and 7.62 Saiga. Bother were purchased NIB as beaters. Also a Kahr P9, purchased for when I cant conceal a 1911 easily. I was looking for a K9 to fill that role a few years ago, and got a good deal on the polymer. Still haven't got the K9...
 
I have a Glock 30 that doesn't do much for me. I have an aftermarket match barrel and the gun shoots very well. Too thick to conceal carry compared to my Commander and Officer sized 1911's. The gun is very reliable and I don't plan on getting rid of it but I would trade it for a G19
 
For me it would be my Glock Model 17. An early one when they were first imported here in the U. S., I bought it mainly for its then leading edge technology (i.e. polymer frame). Never really cared much for shooting it as I usually prefer my Browning Hi-Power when it comes to 9mm. But I don't hate my Glock either. I keep it primarily for its historical design signifigance, utility, and for it's reliability.
