Whats The Worst Gun Sold in America?

[TheTrevor]

IMHO, the worst guns to own are the collector-grade specimens that would plummet in value if you took them out and shot them.

I mean, I get it. I really do. But to me the best and highest use of a gun is not to keep it in unfired condition. Don't put that kitten on a pedestal.

For a while I wondered why Taurus didn't take their normal approach and just clone a Glock like they did S&W revos and Beretta autos. Then I got hit with a cluebat and realized if it could be made cheaper, Glock would make it cheaper.

Congratulations on your new internets. Use it wisely.

In all fairness some models of collector guns are so badly made they're unsafe to shoot anyways. Example, Dornaus & Dixon's Bren Ten.

It's not on a pedestal, it's just acknowledging the fact that I have plenty of, say, .357 Magnums to shoot that won't instantly depreciate $200 with the first trigger pull. Some of these things are a serious part of my long term cat food purchase plans, you know.

Poor QC maybe but not unsafe...

From what I understand, there was a run of bad castings for the Bren Ten , serial numbers affected unknown. The problem is widespread enough that there's a standing warning on the Bren Ten webpage forum to not fire an example until it's been scanned for cracks.

Para 1911s.

Taurus, Jennings, Bryco, Hi-Point all get passes because they're cheap as hell.

Paras are $1,000 or more.

If you are going to be a "woman with cats" it is good to be a heavily armed woman with cats!

I won't be able to afford to share the cat food with pets at that stage of my life.

Low numbered '03 Springfields come to mind.

Silly Hooser. Think "bait", not snacks.
