Weapons that you DON'T regret selling or trading

#1

Post by longhorn_92 »

We've all done the "guns you regret selling" thing. I wanted to know the opposite. What firearms are you glad you sold, traded, or made out like a bandit on? I'll start.

Glock 35 - accurate as hell but I could never warm up to it.

SA XD40 sub compact. Too bulky for concealing.

Ruger Mini 14. Worst rifle ever.

Ok, now your turn.....

That's easy:
Erma Luger .22 handgun.
What a piece of junk!
When dirty it would go full auto. Very un-nerving.
First handgun I ever bought. First (and only) handgun I ever sold.

My first handgun was a Beretta 96. I could never get used to it and obtain any consistent accuracy.

I don't regret selling my old Marlin 336-C 30-30, or my Fox B Savage 16ga double, but I slightly regret selling my Remington Nylon 66 in Apache Black because I didn't get enough for it.

That's an easy one. I don't regret for one minute trading in my Sig GSR 1911 Stainless Carry (plus a few ducats) for a Kimber Ultra Carry II just yesterday morning. The Sig was a lot of trouble, and the Kimber is flawless.

S&W 642LS - I bought it figuring I'd use it when I required something smaller than my 1911s, and maybe teach my Mom how to shoot it (part of the logic behind taking on a LadySmith in the first place, not that the styling or fact that LadySmith happened to be on the frame makes any difference when the bullet comes out the business end). She hated it, I wasn't overly fond of it either - and off it went. Bought my Kel-Tec P11 shortly thereafter.

Here's a good one.. Jennings 22 auto. Absolutely the worst nightmare of assembled metal that I have had the misfortune of firing. Regrets? I still have it and would love to get rid of it but I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
I figure if I hang on to it long enough I will run across one of those gun buy-back programs somewhere. I will take great comfort in the fact that it will be totally destroyed and no one will ever depend on it plus I'll spend the $$ on ammo for my real guns.

Kel-tec sub2000. What a waste of time... :roll:

Hahahaha where to start?!?!?!?!

Jaeger .22 - .22LR clone of an AR-15. Absolute junk.
Raven .25 Auto - It LITERALLY had the bore shot out in 40rds! As a gag I used it for a fishing weight. Lost it on a snag. Oh darn.
Ruger M77 .30-06 - I must have spent $1000 extra dollars and two years trying to get it to shoot consistantly. Never owned another.
Mini-14 .223 - fun gun but useless as far as accuracy is concerned.
Anything Rossi :smilelol5:

Para-Ordnance P-16 Limited - Good shooter but I never used it and it really had no purpose for me.

Para Warthog- Also a good shooter but as I stated in another post after it siezed up on me I didn't trust it anymore.

Colt 1991 - I bought it cheap because I wanted a Colt. I figured not havign the classic roll mark with the pony didn't matter but it wore on me and I finally traded it plus money to someone for one that did ;-)

Colt .357 mag - no, it wasn't a Python, but it could it the broad side of a barn at 15 yards ;-)

Out of all the guns I've bought, there was only ONE that I've sold...and I'm glad I sold it. The gun was a semi-auto MAC-11 9mm...a waste of a firearm in semi-auto form. Sold it and then bought the full-auto version, NO REGRETS on that!

What didn't you like about the Dan Wesson? Do you remeber which plant it was from (Monson, Palmer, or Norwich)?

Raven .25 auto. Not really sure I sold it, as much as begged someone to take it. :lol:
