Rogue's gallery (noun): a coterie of undesirable people (or in this case, guns).
I've seen alot of posts lately with requests for pictures of guns from various manufacturers ("show us your Glock/CZ/etc"). Time to make one for all the Saturday night specials (Glock does not make Saturday night specials, stay on THR please). Some criteria, though.
"Traditionally, Saturday night specials have often been defined as compact, inexpensive handguns with a barrel length of under three inches (for pistols, overall length of under six inches) and low perceived quality"
-- Wikipedia
You have to own the gun (currently or previously). It has to be a picture of YOUR gun, not something yanked from the manufacturer's website. Doesn't matter if it works like a charm or falls apart before you can finish one magazine.
I'll start with a Taurus PT22, the first rimfire handgun I ever owned. It had a heavy trigger pull, and wasn't much to look at. One of the magazines that it came with tended to cause feed failures, but the others were OK. I traded it for a new Beretta Bobcat that held one less round per mag, comparatively inferior sights, and an oddball magazine release. I couldn't tell any different in accuracy between them. I wish I'd kept the Taurus. It was a fun and inexpensive range toy.
