Seems I heard someone else say something like that about the Ruger Security Six in the mid 70's. (no longer in production)
I guess, we should at least wait until the gun is 50 years old before we begin with the hyperbole.
You know like the Colt 45acp government, Winchester 94, Marlin 336/1895/1894/39A, Smith & Wesson K Frame. Savage 99, etc...... You know guns at or approaching 100+ years of production. I would be much more apt to think some of them will be around in 500 years. If we are still using present type technology for small arms.
Go figure.

I have nothing bad to say about my first bb gun. A daisy Buck. that thing was as cheap as can get, but you point it at a target, and it seems that even when the sights arent dead on the bullseye, that lone bb will always find its way there. the thing was like a shotgun, point and shoot.
fond memories of backyard plinking.
fond memories of backyard plinking.
but really, how many of these complaints are valid?
I have held many pistols, but only shot my CZ 75B and a taurus 1911.
I have held many rifles, but only shot a mossberg .22 plinkster, a savage mk II or mk III left handed bolt action .22, a left handed bolt action savage 110 .243, and a left handed savage 110 bolt action .30-06.
the only revolver i have shot is a heritage arms .22/.22 mag "rough rider" revolver.
I can't really give my honest first hand opinion on any other guns until I have shot them, so all the advice I have is second hand from many sources, unless it is of course on the guns I have stated on above. I doubt that many people have first hand experience on all of these firearms.
think about it-
there are hundreds of manufacturers of guns that make all different types of actions, from semi-auto pistols to single shot rifles. then they might have more than one of these types of guns, like berretta for example who makes revolvers, semi auto handguns, semi auto rifles, three types of shotguns, bolt action rifles, lever action rifles, and probably even more than that. then they have many different models of those types of actions, then the same model may have a different trigger or finish or barrel length on it. the list is endless.
I highly doubt that anybody has shot that many guns, unless if they do that for a living or goes shooting all the time.
so how much do we really all know?
just something to think about.

It would be hard to find fault with a model 10 S&W.

The S&W Model 10 is super sweet; Garand is super also.
Does anyone have a bad word about the S&W 629? Stainless steel 44 mag. Super accurate at pistol ranges. I can not seem to duplicate Elmer Keith's 600 yard load, but I assume that is my problem.

I have a 4" 629-1 (the early "pinned and recessed" model). Very nice gun, but these early models were not designed for constant heavy loads. I shoot loads in my Super Redhawk that I will not shoot in the 629.
Later, S&W upgraded the 629 ("Magnum Upgrade Project") and it's supposed to be very good. But if I were trying to emulate Elmer Keith, I think I'd stick to the Ruger
Some of the loading manuals have loads for "Ruger and TC ONLY". I think that says a lot.On second thought, I don't think I'd try to emulate Elmer. Reading about it is more along my conservative level, LOL.
But AFAIK, the 27 and 29/629 are very good guns.

Never heard of anyone bashing an M2, though one could point out their price and the price of ammunition to feed it.

Do people complain much about FAL's? I dont yet own, one, but the ones I have handled are their owners favorite's usually.
For those who have had the opportunity to fire them, I have heard zero complaints about the BAR, and the H&K MP5/10.

Walther P38?

OK............
Door closed? Cellphone off?
Pretty scarce item out there, but I'll clue you in,
Because I have a couple.
It is called the UnobtainiGun.
You'll never find it on Gunbroker or in a gunstore,
For any price.
It helps if:
1.) You are a descendant of the composer Richard Wagner
or
2.) A redhaired stepchild,
Or both.
It has no particular country of origin,
Nor maker, nor caliber, nor age.
It might be a rifle, a shotgun, a handgun.
They can be found everywhere, and nowhere.
They absolutely disappear if you try to look for one.
They appear when you least expect it.
And they last you your lifetime, with no
-That is, absolutely zero -
Complaints.
So, remember, folks,
"The UnobtainiGun!"
The Best Firearms Ever Made.

I have the Stevens/Savage model 311 .410 manufactured in 1956. No complaints...
I am shocked to not have seen someone mention the Glock. Most Glock owners seem to have never heard anything bad about a Glock, I guess they never heard of the 1st Generation G22, a major POS in my book.
I've read through every comment in this entire thread and it occurred to me that maybe I should start a thread for the MOST bashed guns without good reason. My Red Label comes to mind, probably the MOST bashed gun in the universe.
Of course fistfights will break out

Browning Auto 5?
T/C Encore-Contender? The only fault I have with them is the price...
I don't think I have ever heard anybody fault a Savage model 24(over under shotgun rifle combo)
I have also never heard any complaints about the H&R Buffalo Classics. Sure, its no Sharps, but it can do the exact same thing.
Just some thoughts....

Smith & Wesson Model 60 38 Special.
Accurate, small enough to fit in a pocket, packs enough punch for a CCW, pull trigger and it goes bang, if you can't stop the bad guy with 5 shots you have not been practising enough.
Only ones who don't like it are the Liberals who want to ban all guns.

I doubt there hasn't been a gun made that someone on one of these forums hasn't bashed for a number of reasons. It's sort of a given as far as I'm concerned. You can't please everyone.
