Ones that dont go bang when your animal is broadside at 50 yards....

 :yeah:

Or the ones that do go "bang" and it turns out to be a two-point.....

It is better to be consistently incorrect than inconsistently correct...

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity...

Sarcasm makes smart people laugh and stupid people mad.

Had a PPKS that I hated, that thing rolled back horribly and hurt my hand.  I have small hands and it fit just fine so that was not an issue.

Taurus, Rossi, Red Label, Christiansen and any round that ends in RUM.

I avoid guns you buy from guys you have never met, at night, in the back lot of a gas station, in some random little hick town.  :tup:  :chuckle:

I like this there are a lot of good responses! I also throw in Keltecs. I have only ever shot one and it did work just fine but I have noticed that their consistency is all over the map. Some work perfect, some work after 2 or 3 trips back to keltec/gunsmith, some never work. also have heard of gunshops that wont carry them just for that reason, again that's hearsay but it tells me that there are some defiant QC issues at Keltec. and with the VAST market of quality guns out there I see no reason to settle.

Also not a fan of KelTec after having owned one.

 :)" Ruger and Remington.
Rugers (I own two) are crude and engineered for the cheapest manufacturing techniques money can buy.
Remington for the same reason(I own two Rem 22lr's, two 870's and 1 11/87)."

first post of Thinkingman's I have ever agreed with :chuckle:
Rugers are strong heavy and need to be finished.
I avoid Weatherby cartridges and  Mark 5's, I consider both chrome plated, lied about, very well marketed, mediocre products that cost why more than they are worth.

Taurus. I bought thier 1911 and first day shooting it the extractor broke. Another time after firing my last shot and the slide locking back, the magazine follower came out and it and the mag spring popped up through the ejection port.

Tikka. I know I'm the minority here on that, but the one Tikka I owned I couldn't get it to shoot worth a crap and I didn't like the cheap feel of it. I'll take a Winchester 70 or a Browning any day.
