Guns you were glad you sold

[ray1970]

The thread about guns you regret selling inspired me to post this. If you ever had a gun you were glad you got rid of, tell us about it.

Mine was probably a tie between an early TEC-9 and a Taurus revolver in .357 magnum.

The TEC-9 was pretty much useless since I have never done any "drive-by shooting".

The Taurus was dangerously out of time and would drop the hammer between rounds when shooting double action. It went back to Taurus for repairs three times under the lifetime warranty and still wasn't right.

this is a great thread, First a century AK bullpup (never ran 100%) second a century C91 (again never ran) third a first year kimber (didn't run) sensing a theme here?

AMT Hardballer. Worst gun I ever owned. I eventually traded it for one of those 8mm camcorders, never used it, gave it to my sister in law and I KNOW I got the better part of the bargain.

The guy I traded it to traded it and $400 for a S&W .45 auto. This all went down in 4 days in 1996.

What a POS the AMT is. Some will tell you that they are collectors items. BS on that, you could lose your life if trusted to a AMT.

Anything Century Arms imported and I stupidly bought or inherited.

Poor build quality cheap parts, sheesh............

The other one was a .45 ACP carbine with a scope I inherited, not sure what the purpose of that was.

Should have a thread of "Firearms I wish I would have never gotten rid of." I have a lot of those.......................

Both of my Springfield 1911's, most unreliable pistols I've ever owned, they wouldn't even feed jello, let alone hollow points. My Springfield XD's (both of them) and my Springfield M1A ... Springfield can kiss my shiney metal ass!

Both Beretta's that I've owned, I think Beretta is Italian for "mile long trigger pull".

I'll bite on this one... no regrets!


Ruger Boat Paddle all weather KM-77 Mark II in 300 Win Mag.
The thing would shoot 1st shot only, sometimes a second shot... all follow up shots would wander. Not scope related, it was a heat issue. Also the dang thing would leave a print on your shoulder that you were limited to less than 10 rounds fired in one sitting or you needed an ice pack. I even installed a muzzle break to calm down the recoil but it still shot all over the place.... Good riddance!


Next:


Original IMI/Magnum Research Desert Eagle's
I got a pair. One in 44 Mag and one in 357 Mag at an estate auction.
They shot all right, but these got to be the biggest, ugliest, heaviest useless guns in the world. Too big to carry so they just become safe queens or items just taken to the range to show off.... Good riddance!

Next:


German made Walther PPK/S
Bought as a pack-up gun to wear under cover.
These guns suck!!
They eat your hand and you must wear a glove when shooting or you will need a band-aid between your thumb and 1st finger. The hammer bites your skin in the web of your hand.
Good riddance!!


Next:


Beretta 9000S
I actually liked this gun but an LEO approved holster was impossible to find so I couldn't carry it. If I can't carry or use it.. I don't want it.
Good riddance!!

Next:


Glock 27
Impossible to shoot well. The dang thing literally jumps out of your hand in 40 S&W.
Designed for people will smaller paws... which is not me.
BTW I love the G26 9mm
Good Riddance!!

This one will tick off some people.
At one time I had seventeen 1911's in 45ACP
I now own none.
They are cool looking and function well but the world has improved handgun design in the last 100 years. Move on, and you will see for yourself.
Good riddance.
