I have a Winchester 1911 (shotgun) I inherited from my uncle. He was always proud of it, being a rare shotgun, and I have no intention of selling it.
Simply put, it was always a dog. Designed to skirt around Browning's patents, it did everything poorly, and they get much worse over time. The recoil buffering system is made of leather, which hardens over time, leading to excessive recoil and cracked furniture. The feeding mechanism on my example is broken, so it's basically a single shot, and the charging mechanism consists of a knurled section of barrel that you grab and pull back towards the receiver. Users' temptation to press the barrel down from the front, along with a propensity to slam fire as they go into battery or fire as the stock is struck against the ground with a stuck shell, earned these shotguns the nickname "Widowmaker." One of these days I'll get it back into reliable shooting condition, but now it's just comes out very occasionally as a "bet you won't shoot it twice!" kind of gun.
