Quote HistoryQuoted: H&K P7. Way over rated, one of those that has a cool factor but really isn’t all that great. Squeeze cocking just didn’t do anything for me and in fact made it a hassle to shoot accurately. I guess if you normally have a death grip it’s fine. I carried a P7 for about 11 years. I like the P7 a lot as a carry gun with a couple exceptions: 1. Low capacity for the weight. 2. The manual of arms is so different than everything else, you sort of start to develop some bad habits you don't want to carry across to other platforms. You don't need to keep a death grip on the cocking lever. Once you pull the lever back far enough to cock it, it takes nearly no effort to keep the lever back and the gun cocked. I carry a CZ PCR now. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Glock 22. It's a weird thing, I love my G22. Shoot, I wish I had at least one more just because. But like the 320 that didn't work out for me, others love the 320 platform. That's why they make so many different ones I guess. To each their own. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: KSG....it would not eject "low brass" ammunition reliably. Additionally, I overestimated the function/usefulness of the KSG. It was slow to load and switching tubes involved activating a small switch (not something I think I could do consistently under duress). I paid $800 for mine and was glad to see it go. This. Hated my KSG. God help anyone who has to use one in self-defense. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I recently realized I did not like the extended mag in my FN 509c. Every shot the gap between the grip and the mag extension wanted to pinch my hand. While not my biggest disappointment I agree with this. I bought a bunch of the the 15 round mags thinking that’s all I would need for plinking. As it turns out, the 12 round mags are such a different feel and better mag to shoot with.  I guess the 15s make good reloads for “oh shit” times?I’d say my biggest disappointment falls somewhere on one of the only two handguns I’ve sold: a Walther P99 and a Springfield “Mil-Spec” 1911. Neither were unreliable but I could never shoot the P99 well and the 1911 was just such a boring “meh” handgun. It wasn’t bad at anything but it wasn’t good either. |

First was the HK USP. Bad trigger, blocky grip.
Next was Gen4 Glock. Finally a decent size mag release and nice grip texture. Grip angle still sucked. Most recently the PPQ. Bought it for the awesome trigger. Bad sights, more felt recoil than there should be. |

Well, you are not the forum member who sold me mine  As far as century imports go, it was pretty decent fit and finish wise for a stamped receiver rifle, but...neither myself or local smith could get it to run an entire mag. Pretty disappointing. It had a "satisfying" recoil though...I wish I had one that ran good; God knows I tried lol. Speed |

Romanian "Champion" .223 AK pistol. I'd bought a new one to eventually turn into an AIMR clone. Hard to believe it came from a weapon factory and not some cave where rifles were assembled by 5- year-olds with files and hammers.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Kimber TLE II with the external extractor. After many calls to Kimber, who’s wanted to tell me how to fix it, instead of fixing it themselves and lots of internet research I got it running. Once I knew it was reliable I sold it. BTDT- solid top contender for the largest disappointment in my book. Also had a regular style internal extractor TLE II /RL that was purchased at the same time (both were LE trade ins). It is awesome as hell, accurate, just a great gun. The contrast between the two of them was astonishing. I still own that one. Kimber needed their head examined with that external extractor version, they sure messed it up... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Mossberg 835. Plagued with light primer strikes. I would get up at the ass crack of dawn and get set up where the turkeys were the evening before. Or maybe have to run three or four ridges over because they busted the night before and moved locations. Make my best ready to breed hen sounds which I'm convinced sounded like Bella Hadid and Margot Robbie getting it on to a tom turkey. Only to have this piece of shit go CLICK instead of BANG on a 3-1/2" Federal Premium full of whoop ass. In my disgust, I sold the hunk of junk and you would think this is where the story ends. No. This gun was given to me as a gift from my then girlfriend, who is now my beautiful wife of 22 years. Immediately after selling it I had pangs of guilt and remorse. So what did I do? I bought the victim, I mean the new owner, a brand new 835 Mossberg and offered him cash to trade me back for my old gun. He traded with no boot and I still have this blursed 835. The thing is, he was like me in that he couldn't miss clays with that 835. I swear this damned thing will bust clays like a fine O/U if it will fire. Sounds like all you need to do is to check the tightness of the forend/action bar nut, if this is loose you can have headspace issues that would cause this, have seen it in an 870. If that is not it, then a new firing pin is the ticket. Should be a simple fix no matter what. @Hay_Bale |

M&P .22 compact. It really is a pretty
nice gun, but mine has canted sights so bad that with the rear sight adjustment all the way to the stop, it still shoots to the right about 8 inches at 25 yards. I got it on sale from PSA for $250 though, that is the only thing that has kept me from hating it. |

It was so innacurate it made a mini 14 look like a target rifle. There were no loads or remedies to make it acceptable. |
