What gun were you the most disappointed with???

Grendell

I bought a NIB Grendell when they first came out. After 200+ rounds, I found that I could never fire a full magazine without a jam.

The dealer who sold it to me was shooting next to me one day and he tried it. He offered a full refund. I took his offer and bought another gun.

The dealer stopped carrying them and refused to even take one as a trade.

Have to divide this one up into a couple of categories:

Biggest disappointment after all the press and gushing reviews: Glock 19

Biggest disappointment after I bought it because it was new: H&K USP.

I know this is a handgun forum, but I have to throw this in: biggest SURPRISING disappointment, considering what I paid for it was the Colt HBAR. Thought I would like it more than I did........

Taurus Millennium Pro PT-111, sorry to say. I had high hopes. See here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42261

Another vote for the H&R 999.

Most disappointed? Definetly a Jennings J22 that I bought with the intention of carrying for protection. (In my defense - I was very new to firearms then!)

I did find a use for it though. When I want to encourage the dog to remove his nose frm the cat's food bowl, throwing it across the kitchen floor makes such a racket that he goes running.


Most pleasant surprise? My Taurus PT940 - no contest.

I bought this gun & really didn't need it. It was a "spite" purchase, when S&W signed the Agreement & Taurus came out in defense of the 2nd Amendment. I shot 2 magazine loads through it & put it away...

Fast forward to over a year later & I was looking for some cash so I thought I'd sell it, but had accumulated about 6 boxes of all different types of ammo during that time. Since it was the only .40 I owned, I took out the gun to use up the shells. The gun was flawless, firing evrything -including some cheap RNL realods - without a hiccup. It was accurate too. It's still in my possession, residing along side some handguns that cost 3 & 4 times as much but shoot no better!
