Why do people buy bad guns? Instead, let's ask: What bad guns have you bought, and why?
- First pistol I ever bought was a Taurus PT-99. I wanted a P7M8 but couldn't justify the cost. My next choice was a Beretta 92FS, but the Taurus was just like it and was less money even though it had cool tactical adjustable sights. After the second trip to Taurus for repair, I sold it.
- BHP-40. Duane Thomas said it was the greatest combat pistol he'd ever touched and I bought one. Next month, he said the same thing about the HK USP40 and I bought one of those, too. The month after that he said it about a third gun and I stopped reading gun magazines.
