That gun you love that has a horrible reputation.

Automag. Impressive looking, but the grip like a 2X4, they are particular about ammo, and breaking anything is costly.

Taurus PT111-G2/G2C. Mine runs well, is accurate, it's about the size of a Shield and it's 12+1 round capacity nearly doubles the S&W!

AMT Automag II. It has a reputation for being picky on ammo, but mine runs great with many different brands of high powered 40gr ammo or the 50gr Federal load. It is an absolute tack driver and the big fireball and muzzle blast with no recoil are a lot of fun.

Love mine, and no ammo issues. The 30 Carbine Automag III is awesome too. Huge muzzle blast that makes people stop shooting to see what I got. Plus the recoil is very tame.

Been trying to buy a 30 Carbine Automag III for a while now. It would be ideal to pair with my M-2 carbine, lol!

My Automag II has not run reliably on any "light bullet" 22 Mag ammo that I have tried. Also, it wouldn't run Armscor 40gr (underpowered) and the Hornady FTX "pistol load" was absolutely horrible. The Hornady was underpowered, would not cycle at all, and the case was jammed in the chamber so tight I had to take the gun apart to drive the case out. I was actually stubborn enough to try a second round and it did the exact same thing, so it wasn't a fluke. Never again will I try any Hornady 22 Mag!

ETA: I shot the rest of that FTX ammo in a friend's PMR-30 and it barely cycled that gun. We tried a whole bunch of different stuff in it and it was by the least powerful .22 Mag ammo I have ever experienced. The PMR-30 is apparently not picky at all and was a lot of fun. It's on my list to buy.

I picked this one up last year from the classifieds here on INGO. A Walther PPK/S in .380 - I've heard a lot of large hand shooters get slide bite , also heard unreliable , lots of recoil and hard to shoot well. This one is fits me well , totally reliable so far and not too shabby in accuracy.

I love my AR, poor thing even gets bad looks from family members when I take them shooting.

The Automag III in 30 carbine is expensive, but if you can afford a M2, then it shouldn’t be a issue.

My P83 Wanad, paid 200 for it.
Much more accurate than my eyes are. Have 1500+ rounds thru it with zero failures of any kind.

Do they have a bad reputation? I definitely love mine, though it shoots low at what we consider to be standard handgun distances nowadays.

Runs like a top, has an unexpectedly good trigger, and the heel release functions much better than PM-style ones.

Mine isn’t bad considering the price but I have had it jam on me once which made me nervous. Other than that one jam, it’s a nice little pistol and a little more than half the price of a Shield.

I had a 2.0 Shield and sold it not long after getting it and going to the range a few times. Never felt great when firing. The guy who bought it loves it. Win-win.

I had the rear sight fall out of my millennium g2. No pressure from the dovetail, was only held in place by the set screw. It sold in less than a week for what I paid for it tho, so it wasn't all bad.

That’s solid. I looked into selling it but didn’t think I’d get very much. It’s my main level pistol hidden in a cabinet for emergencies.

I'm glad to see the reviews on the G2C are not horrible. I just called Taurus for an update on my .45 that I had sent back under the class action settlement. Mine has been inspected and tagged for replacement so they will be sending me the G2C in 9mm as that is the only option they are offering. I told my husband I was trying to decide if I want to trade it to the FFL that is receiving it or keep it. I was thinking that since it is being sent to them direct from the manufacturer, I should get the maximum possible on trade rather than shooting it and then trading it as a used gun. The reviews I have seen so far have me leaning toward keeping it for carrying around the yard. My S&W is already pretty marked up from carrying while gardening and such, but this would definitely provide me more shots than my 5 shot revolver.

The Hi Point C9. Back in the day, when Richard, Trottinette, and I would stand guard over the retail athletes of the Chatte Puante mall and casino, in lovely Cacao de Gato, Florida, we depended on our C9s for our very lives.

We knew we could depend on them 100%, and even insisted that Mundgeruch Corporation, the owners of the mall, make Hi Point our official duty weapons.

Ah! What heady days those were! We three stallions, cruising along on our Segways...

Marlin 57M. Grandpa's 22WMR. Trigger is awful. No good way to make it better, but I killed my first squirrel at 13 with it and 13 groundhogs one day in my 16th summer. All iron sights.

AMT backup 45, never had a problem with it. Love the size.

I owned 1. Briefly. Very briefly. Horrible piece. Took a lot of work to make it run and then it was gone.

My favorite 1911 is my AMT hardballer long slide, also never had any problems with it. Slide/frame fit is absolutely terrible but it always works and hasn't blown up yet. Probably the most iconic 1911 at the range for anyone that loved Arnold flicks.

Never had a FTF or FTE with mine, but I've only shot hard ball ammo in it. I bought it used, maybe someone already worked on it. LOL
