Which handgun do you regret buying?

[BaserRonin]

Taurus 24/7 pro in .45 ACP. Biggest POS I've ever had my hands on. Traded it after realizing it was never going to function properly, no matter how much time I spent trying.

Original S&W 39

[nathangdad]

It was just not the gun for me. Overpowered and not controllable
in terms of weight and balance in my experience. I learned from it what to move toward, was glad to trade it, and hope the new owner found
it to be the gun for him.

I have way more that I wish I hadnt sold then wish I hadnt bought. the only one of those was from when I was a kid I bought a jennings 22. piece of junk, still have it, replaced the springs in it a couple times. at 10 yards I woul dbe hard pressed to hit the side of a mountain with it that is if it didnt jam. dang near shot my hand with it once when it went off with out me even touching the trigger. never load it dont dare sell it. all it is, is a pretty paper weight.

Walther P22. Too small a grip and sends brass all over the place, ussually on the top of my head. The first gun I have ever sold. I also have a Kel-Tec P40 (.40 cal version of the P11). I still carry it some times but for the most part is sits in my desk drawer.

the 9mm that got stolen.

Taurus PT-22 (my first handgun).

I got a PT-22 back when I was in college. Aside from not striking the primers hard enough, it really liked to jam. What more could you want?

Truly a worthless gun.

H&K P7M8. I could never get used to it. Plus it really got warm at the shooting range. As someone who doesn't mind putting 150 rds. through a Beretta at one session, I found that the P7 got too hot after about 40 rds.
I sold it at a gun show and bought a Cx4 carbine with money left over.
Also, I kind of regret buying Sig 226DAK. Same deal. The trigger seemed nice in the showroom, but I could not get used to it at the range. I sold it after shooting a case of 9x19 and bought a Beretta 90two instead. THAT is a nice gun. I'll get a DA/SA Sig someday, maybe a 229.

Wow. Sorry you had a bad one, I had one of Taurus's nifty little pocket .22's, worked all the time with any ammo and I thought it was amusingly accurate for it's size. I guess I've just been lucky with Taurus.

Holey Crap Billy, I had almost forgot about my old hawes western marshall. It's still here somewhere. I bought it new in 1970. Mine is a 22 with an extra cyl. for 22 mag. and it is on a 357 frame, sleaved down to a 22 cal. Does this sound like the one you had. I haven't fired mine in over 20 years.

[Seabeescotty]

I never regretted buying one, but I sure regretted selling my bicentennial Blackhawk 44 mag!

I really liked the small size and concealability of the PT-22. It's too bad that it didn't work out.

I now have a tiny North American Arms .22 that I shot for the first time yesterday. It is one of those itty bitty revolvers and fits the pocketwatch pocket of jeans as if it were a holster. I carry it when I can't carry my Glock 36.

I put 50 rounds through it and it shot like a champ. I had a small crowd of people watching me at the range because they had never seen a gun that small.

[gunslinger91]

I have bought several guns that I later regretted. It was not because they did not function properly, I just did not like them. My Astra 45 for instance (I couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with it). I ditched it at the first opportune moment. My Walther P22, although I can not stand the thing my 12y/o loves it. I can't get him to leave it home when we head to the range. My XD, traded it for another gun the same weekend I bought it. A cheep 1911 trying to be Glock or Glock trying to be 1911, whichever it was it captured the worst of both worlds IMHO.

[quote=billy;477546]like this?

Yea kind of like that. Mine has funky plastic grips. It is a big gun for a 22. Same frame and barrel you have. If you look at the end of the barrel you can see where they put a sleeve to make it 22. My buddy has a Colt 45, and my cylinders will fit his gun and rotate just fine. Mine was hard to eject empties at first, as I remember I had to polish the little ejector rod, it wanted to catch inside the frame after a few shots.

I have a S&W .22 model 422 pistol. It was bubbaed up by the previous owner. If you can get the first round to go into battery the second wont. It needs some serious work.

[squirrelbaster]
