Ruger American .308 and a Ruger Blackhawk Bisley 45 colt.
Both were lemons as is the Smith 629 Talo in 357 mag. The Ruger 10-22 I got did not shoot good enough groups for me and had issues chambering.
I heard you must run a couple hundred down it to make it better.That IS BS in my book either it will shoot or it will not.

Some of these new guns are sold on their name quality control is horrible.

Didn't buy it. But I always thought I wanted a Henry AR-7. Right up until the moment I picked one up. Hated it instantly. Walked out without buying it.
Same rifle, was going to buy 1 FTF, set the deal up at Lex WMA with the understanding that I wanted to shoot it 1st. Gave him $10 for gas and a box of CCI SV for his efforts.

Got the M6 Scout 22LR/410 instead. Too small to really like, but it is a great kids trainer rifle for late season squirrel. Of course, I am having ejection issues with it right now, need to get it to a smith eventually or just tinker with it some time this summer.

I have only sold 2 guns, One I hated with a passion Savage model 340 in 30-30 Win. That thing would kick worse than my 300 win mag and leave a bruised shoulder after one shot every time. Sometimes you would get scopebit to. When I decided to sell a gentleman wanted it for his son, I told him he did not, sure I do it's a thutty- thutty. Told him I would take him out and let him shoot it before buying it for that 11 yr old. Scopebit and a bruised shoulder changed his mind. Later another gentleman bought it I gave him the same option but he just bought it. Seen him few days later with a half moon cut above the eye.
The second gun I sold I regret to this day Henry 357 mag carbine. But I sold it to my son after being bugged about it for yrs. Still miss that gun but I borrow it every once in a while just plink with.

Really? I have the Ec9s (economy LC9) and I love it.

The LCP is not a pleasure to shoot by any measure of fun, but it sure does tuck nicely. Seems acceptable for the thing I shoot one direction while I run the other though lol. The striker LCP is nicer, but I've never shot a carry pistol that was enjoyable. The Smith 340pd might be the worst I've ever pulled the trigger on. Shoots a neat fireball though.
