Guns you avoid
« on: May 05, 2015, 11:58:42 AM »
So this is not to be a flame war or to bash peoples chosen weapons. I was just curious if there are any types of guns you guys avoid (either manufacture or specific gun or type) preferably from personal experiences not just "I heard once". Mine personally is Rugers, I had a bad experience with 2, both of which were solved by their excellent customer service, but it defiantly leaves me second guessing buying any more of their products. Any thoughts?

Not to discount your opinion but Ruger is my go to hunting rifle. Trigger sux and it needed a little gun smithing once, to be fair.

Let's see if this one can stay civil  :chuckle:

High Point semi-autos, don't like how they feel, balance, and I think they are just ugly.

Ruger Blackhawks and like sized revolvers, grip is too small and short for my hand, do not enjoy shooting them because of that.

Compact and sub-compact semi-autos of all breeds, same reason as Blackhawks.

Anything that begins with Remington.  Also Semi-Auto rifles in general, other than .22s.

I don't particularly care for the Braztech/Taurus/Rossi guns.  Mostly just for cosmetic issues.

And Rugers are one of my favorites.  :tup:

The safety issues on the 700 have made me a little worried about Remingtons too.

I guess everyone's got an opinion though!  :chuckle:

 :yeah: Never met a gun I didn't like.  :) I did fire a flintlock that kicked like a mule, but I still liked it.

Like I said this was just me. One was the LCP the other was a #1. both were great guns as far as shooting and I want the #1 from my grandfather inlaw :chuckle:. He also has a Ruger 7mm and P89 both are flawless. I just got the two of the litter I guess that decided to have a problem, but ruger fixed both.

P.S. still have my 10/22 as well :)

Less than 50rnds the front sight fell off. He still has his  :dunno:. Went with Ruger and haven't looked back  :IBCOOL:  :twocents:

Don't care much for Ruger bolt actions, to sloppy. Yeah yeah, I know why they are made that way but I still don't care for it. Also don't like the safety location.

Don't like Winchesters typical model 70 stock style either.

Also don't care much for the high price of dealing with weatherby chamberings, the benefits don't out way the cost in my opinion so I avoid them these days.

Also don't care for Berretta's, they are just ugly.  :chuckle:
