What gun did you HAVE to have,save up to buy,only to be disappointed with??And which did you have low expectations and were pleasantly surprised?
For me,I always wanted a 1911....found a Combat Commander for $350....hated it!The beavertail made my hand bleed every time I shot it,ammo too expensive,only shot fmj,jammed and I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.Traded it for a Glock17...(which I love)
On the other hand,I bought a Taurus pt99 to get started in IDPA.$300 used,I had pretty low expectations.This gun turned out to be 100% reliable,accurate as anything I ever shot AND I can go cocked and locked.....
