Sorry to say, yes I have. Bought one that was, what I believe was shot out. A Beretta 45 acp. I shoot only 45 acp. So I know what to expect in recoil. So that was not it. The gun went every direction except toward the bullseye. I know when I shot in competition, some of the guys would have to change barrels every couple years. Sorry, I didn't get that into it, but it does happen.
But, I believe other than the barrel having a problem, the gun could be sent back to manufacture and be repaired. Only gun I have ever sent back, was a Thompson Contender. It was fixed with no problem. And I think every manufacture would have done the same. They don't want their guns out there if not in tip top shape. So to buy a used gun, not a problem. If one can get a good price for it. The only problem I have been seeing, is the seller seems to think he has a brand new gun. And is asking the price of a new one. Sorry folks, but a used gun will not cost the same as a new one. Sometimes we all pay just a little too much for that new, pretty, peice. I guess it is the shine that gets into our eyes. Maybe the redneck in us. You know the shiny bass boat look.
