Handguns I'd just as soon never shoot again...

[1911ly]

I'll add to the list... my S&W .357mag... it's like getting beaten in the hand with a baseball bat with every pull of the trigger...

What kind of grips are those? Hard wood? I have rubberized on mind. It is not punishing to shoot. I put 150 round threw it last Friday without an issue. I don't know where you are located but itf it is close to South Bend you are welcome to try mine and see if it is better.

I've got a GEN 3 G22 for Reserve duty use. It's accurate, and shoots very well. To be honest though I hate it. I hate the way it fits (or really doesn't) in my hand. I'm thinking of a grip reduction, stippling, and getting rid of those STUPID finger groves. When you grab it, it's akin to trying to draw a cinder block.....just flat out square and clunky. After some extensive mods I might change my mind....we'll see.

I had a lovely Taurus Raging Bull in .44 mag. I picked it because it was much more pleasant to shoot than the Smith 29s or the Ruger Redhawks. That full barrel lug does make a difference. I have no desire to shoot the .500 Smiths, Ruger .460s or other monster calibers. Especially in short barrels. If I want a cannon, I'll just build or buy a cannon.

For slightly different reasons, I got rid of a Heritage .22. For some reason, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it. It wasn't the pistol, as everyone I let shoot it did fine. It was me. Don't know for sure what it was, but I got rid of it.

I'm no fan of plastic gun aesthetics, but don't have near enough experience shooting any of them to make an informed opinion.

A .45-70 SAA type pistol made in Indiana, don't remember the name. It was brass and steel and hard to hold one handed because of weight. Was not as bad when I shoot black powder in it. Most handguns could be just about any large caliber and I could enjoy shooting till Arthritis set in in my left hand. I use to use two 6 1/2 inch barreled Ruger .44 mags shooting both at the same time. Today anything .44 mag or smaller in right hand and .32ACP max in the left hand. It sucks to get old and wear your body out.

It is very eye opening shooting two 1911 .45 ACP's at the same time. They can cause a stop sign to bend in to at a 45 degree angle if both hit center of sign within an inch of each. Try it you will like it!!!!!

I shot several rounds out of a Chinese Tokarev in 762 caliber without the benefit of hearing protection. None was available. It was painful. Never again.

Hello there, I see that you hate to shoot your super Blackhawk, if you ever get tired of seeing other people cringe, let me know. You may be able to make a few $$ off of it. I'm looking for one.

Thanks!!

I hated my Glock 23....Never fit my hand and didn't like it in .40. My EX has it now.
I hate my old/former backup Baretta JetFire .25...eats my hand between thumb and first finger. It's relegated to the closet safe now.
I hate my Ruger Super Blackhawk......doesn't fit, hate the revolver grip and have to hang on for dear life even firing specials. Very accurate but not a pleasant "range gun". I like letting other people shoot it just to see their faces. Most Cringe when the trigger is pulled. LOL!
This just applies to shooting them and nothing else.

Bison Bull?

 

[xdmdude]

so i have a s&w sigma in .40 cal. Talk about a poop trigger. Worst gun i have ever shot and i'm sure I can't even sell the thing. Biggest waste of money ever.

 

[commonality]

I had a Colt Defender in .40 caliber. It would eject shells into my forehead as regularly as the second hand on my watch. Sold it.

I carry a glock 27 my wife has a M&P 9mm I like them both but ill stick with my glock just my opintion and you a welcome to yours it all about personal preference

Taurus 1911. If Obama wants my support on a gun control issue, draft an executive order banning Taurus from producing a 1911...HERESY!

There are a few guns that I don't care if I never shoot again and at least one that I will not shoot period. The Ruger LC9/LCP triggers are so bad I can't even describe it. My friend has an LC9 that I would not consider for self defense as even at belly gun range the trigger pull is so hard it would have to pull you off target. I have never owned a Glock but have fired several. Of the polymer guns they certainly have the best trigger by far. The XDs just have too high of a bore axis. They look funny and shoot funny. The M&Ps all seem to have sucky triggers too.

The only handgun that I really don't care to shoot again; wasn't the handgun but the caliber choice of that handgun. It was a T/C encore with the 35 remington barrel on it. My opinion that this was way too much recoil for a handgun... I just didn't like it at all....

I have the xdsc and the m&p9c both in 9mm. They are close in size but the xdsc is a few ounces heavier than the 9c. The 9c is a softer shooter than the xd. I like em both but the 9c just shoots softer and conceals better than the xd.

Hi-Point 9mm-everytime i'd go shooting it'd jam up on the first or second magazine.. even with the lifetime warranty not worth the money....
