    A little Smith revolver, a lot of it titanium. Was it the 642? Anyway, I took it to the range, so I could get accustomed to it, since the revolver was such an easy rider in the pocket.

    It banged heck out of my middle finger, and I didn't hit well with it, even at 8 yeards or so. Sold it and bough who-now-knows-what.

    Walther p22. . .

    Looks like a toy version of a real gun. . .and that's because it is.

    Walther PPK/S Had to have it and after my son bought me one I took it to the range and after shooting it just put it in a cabinet and have not shot it again. That was almost 9 years ago, and of course I can't sell it.

    Same gun for me also. Walther PPK/S. One of the few guns I've ever sold...

    Assume you both had the .380 version as I did. Neatest looking, best feeling little handgun I've ever held but I dumped mine too. I've fired that pistol in .32 ACP and it's a dream but the .380 just didn't work for me.

    The Desert Eagle 44 Mag. TO HEAVY, recoil, sights, barley able to hit a pie plate at 40ft. everything about thing weapon suxed. I will admit it was a used weapon with I'd say a fairly high round count on it. guy wanted 500.00 for it said no thanks.

    Also was not impressed with the old delta Elite 10mm's

    Just my opinion.

    Marlin Camp 45, Desert Eagle .50, Never even shot a Galil to dislike it, I held it to my shoulder and would have sworn the stock was a common 2x4, very uncomfortable.

    Springfield Armory V10 Ultra Compact .45 APC Ported barrel Bi-tone. I thought this gun looked great and would come in handy for conceal and carry, but it was loud as hell and I couldn't hit the side of a barn with it. Would have been better off throwing it at them. Jammed quite a bit as well. Ended up selling it after a few months to a friend who unloaded it pretty quick as well.

    CHARTER ARMS AR-7 EXPLORER
    SEMIAUTOMATIC SURVIVAL RIFLE
    .22 LONG RIFLE
    TAKES DOWN AND STORES IN THE BUTTSTOCK
    IT FLOATS...

    most inaccurate, inconsistant, irritating .22 lr rifle ever made.
    even scoped it barely hold minute of paper plate at 12 yds...

    it looks neet though...
    JAMES BOND used one...
    it really does float...


    I had almost forgotten that I had owned an AR-7. I didn't care for it either. I bought a new one for $99.95 with my Christmas bonus one year. I had sold it before the next Christmas.

    Mosin-Nagant M38. I can think of better ways to bruise the crap out of my shoulder. Now a wall hanger till sold.


    Awww [:(]

    Give the little fella a second chance. They recoil is actually quite mild once you get used to it...

    The Desert Eagle is doing these days what the .44Mag chrome revolver did back in the 70's.

    That is, encouraging idiots with too much money and not enough brains or common sense to buy guns simply for the sake of vanity. The Matrix and Dirty Harry have brought responsible gun owners nothing but trouble.

    Who? Me?

    Yes, if you ever forked over cash for a gun you have ZERO prior experience with, just so you could look cool, then you're an idiot.

    I got good deal on an 8 3/8 Model 29 with Pachmayer, rug, and shoulder holster. It was in pristine condition and I paid just about the price of a new 29 for it ($425 if I remember right). It was purchased new by a local police officer who apparently shot it very little. Come to think of it, I haven't shot it much other than a few trips to the range when I first got it. That 28 cents a round is pretty salty (at least to me).
