Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CarlosC: That seems like it would be very painful to shoot. Perhaps, but fun at the same time. It had a very good way of telling the guys who "said" they weren't recoil sensitive from the guys who actually weren't. Of all my shooting buddies, my old man (68 years old) was the only one who put all 5 rounds through it. All the others were 1-2 rounds and done. I want a 4" 500 smith to replace it. I love recoil.

A first generation Taurus PT22. It's a fun little range toy once you get past the 30-pound trigger pull.

I'm definitely going with my Long Range Winner 12ga that a friend of mine gave me back in 2012. He told me the last time that gun was fired was 1972, and in his words "more came out the back than went out the front."
I have zero intent on shooting it, but it's the oldest firearm I own, over 100 years old and probably more like 120. |

I recently bought a Mossberg 695T bolt action police shotgun sniper. Pure nostalgia. You see, in the 90's there was the rifled shotgun as an urban sniper thing. Scattergun Technologies, latter Wilson Combat, had an urban sniper 11-87, and Mossberg took their 695 and made a tactical version. Teenager me thought, at first glance, what a great idea. They marketed them as being used for "standoff breaching", shooting doorknobs off. And then I would think about firing a big assed sabot slug, in a city at door knobs or people, and I would laugh. There ain't much info out there on the 695Ts, I think I saw an article in "Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement", either the monthly or bi-annual big issue.
The idea was dumb. The gun itself, dumb'ish, because they recoil like a MF'e, and I love shooting the gauge. I get why they exist. But the making an "urban sniper" out of them was silly. Here's what one look like (there are 2 and 5 round mags)

I’ve been looking at picking up a Brawler. No clue why, but I like 410 add 45 Colt I have no purpose for it as I’m sure it would suck with birdshot for snakes, which I rarely kill anyway. 45 Colt is a fun round, but limited to one round. I’ve got a Judge that was my dads. I rarely shoot it as the 410 spread is ridiculous. My single shot 4@0 shotgun has a really tight pattern, so if I needed birdshot for something, I’d use the shotgun. |

Someone gave me this.
 It's dumb because it's a POS. I mean I had heard that Jennings were garbage, but I thought maybe those were cycling issues. Nah. There's a 50/50 chance the trigger doesn't work during dry cycling this one. For guns I've actually bought, I guess the closest things to dumb would be a Saiga 12 and AK pistol. Neither of which are dumb, though. My Saiga was $160, with ~100 rounds of high brass, and is an early 4-hole-port that actually cycles (even #8 bulk packs). And I've SBR'd the AK pistol. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DK-Prof: Danish army procurement has sometimes been bizarre. They had already decided on the Browning Hi-Power as a sidearm in 1940, and Browning started delivering them post-war in 1946. A high-quality military sidearm with a double-stack 13-round magazine. Then, in 1949, the Danish army decided to instead adopt the SIG P210, a gun with a single-stack 8 round magazine that is inferior to the Browning as a military sidearm in pretty much every way, and far more expensive. Basically it was a decision to replace a really good pistol with a more expensive and worse pistol. It was completely insane.  ETA: ... as an aside, i REALLY want a 1946 Danish issue Hi-Power. My dumbest gun is probably my Remington (imported Baikal) 12 ga double barrel coach gun. Poorly finished, heavy for what it is, does not open easily, terrible trigger pull. But, it was cheap and it has always worked. |

An SKS.
7.62 doesn’t do anything 5.56 doesn’t do. It’s heavy It’s ugly It’s not really accurate. Loading from stripper clips is slow and cumbersome Seems to be very easy to out run. Fire slow it seems reliable. Fire fast, always a malfunction. It was free but was all bubba’d up with mag conversion and Tapco stock. Spent a couple hundred putting it back to factory and meh. |

Not sure the cause, but of course I've never had a single issue with mine, including 357 +P ammo. Maybe only a few hundred rounds through it though. Do a bit of searching, I'm sure you'll see some of what I'm talking about. I still highly recommend the gun since my personal experience is nothing short of fantastic. It's the smoothest trigger I've ever felt, to include my rifles. The trigger is very wide though if you have a problem with those. |

I had to give this some thought. I no longer own any dumb guns. They all have a purpose, and all get used for that purpose. They are all pretty good at what I use them for.
I guess if I had to pick one. It would be my Sig P250 compact .40 cal. It is my black bear country ( here ) woods gun loaded with 175gr PC hard cast at 1150fps. It is as accurate as my most accurate glock and perfect for purpose, but others who don't appreciate nuances, might consider it dumb.
