reteach- That might be a technique issue.
My least favorite is my Ruger LCP. Everything about it is horrible.

Ruger Mark III 22/45 LITE ... the older version that is a royal pain in the butt to break down. That said, because it's a fixed barrel it tends to be more accurate than my wheel gun 22's. Cleaning my guns after shooting is almost as much "fun" for me as actually shooting them, and breaking this one down to clean it, and then getting it back together easily, is just not "fun"!

Mosin Nagant M91/30.
The stock is saturated through and through with grease, and you almost need a mallet to work the bolt. Tried all the tricks, nothing. I got it really cheap back in the day, so I'm not so concerned about having money tied up in it. I figure it will make a cool wall hanger someday. |

Ruger SBH in 44 magnum with plow handle. Only way I can shoot it anymore is with very light loads.

One of my brothers and I jointly bought a Monkey Wards double barrel 12 gauge about 1970. Neither of us knew squat about shotguns. No recoil pad, just a plastic butt plate. Looong barrels, weighs a ton. Went dove hunting with it one year, shot up a bunch of ammo, and had a bruised shoulder. My brother took the gun with him when he moved to another state around 1980. Well, he passed away a few years back, and his son asked if I wanted that shotgun, even though one chamber won't fire. I said yes, so that ugly thing resides in my safe. Just sentimental value to me.

As for me I like all the guns I have handled, mine or the customers'. I know given time and money they all can be fixed. One exception though. A brand new Jimenez pistol in .38acp. It is intrinsically inferior and unsafe by design. There is no way I can make it good enough. A customer inherited it from his late father, who was known to be frugal. I told her not even to load it. -TL Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk |
