Never any desire for bull-pup shotguns. Tried a couple of rifles, also. Now, ditto. There's just no way to clear malfs in an expeditious manner, LOL.

No 'big game' revolvers, like anything .454, 460 or .500 mag. Just zero fun to shoot, IMHO. However, I'm sure one could be the right tool for the right job.

I've only ever had the slightest desire to own a shotgun, and that just because I was offered one cheap. I do own a shotgun, but only because the previous owners left one in this house, some crazy 20 gauge snake charmer type thing.

High Standard Crusader revolvers. I had a chance to buy one in the original wooden box. But I couldn't justify the price for something that is most likely to end up as a safe queen. Too rare and out of production. Not to disparage the gun, but at my stage in life I don't need to buy anything that from the outset will be an unshootable safe queen.

Any kind of shotgun. Not into bird hunting, trap or skeet shooting and the idea of spraying my ammo at what I’m trying to hit just doesn’t appeal to me.

Yes I would like a smooth bore revolver for pest control if I didn’t have to pay $200 and register it as an AOW. I’ve loaded shotshell for a rifled barrel and I was not impressed

If we need to keep it a handgun, any sort of plastic/Tupperware gun.

Rifle wise, an AK.

Shotguns(and I LOVE my shotguns) a K80. I realize what they are, I realize how good they are, but to me they are butt ugly! Give me a nice Browning or Beretta, or even a nice 1100 or Auto 5 any day!

Also for me would be any of the big .45 Colt/.410 revolvers like the Governor or Judge. I know some guys like them but they do nothing for me.

I LIKE the humpback 49, but now there seems to be the name "BodyGuard" on all sorts of designs including a weird looking 38 revolver. I can't do weird spacecraft stuff.

Glock, Chiappa, Llama (had a 1911 30 or 35 years ago. Stopped in the desert to pop off a couple rounds. Second round spit the extractor out in the dirt.) and pistol length AR's

Never own or never buy? I have a few that were given to me that I would never spend a dime on but I guess I own them because they're in my safe.

Never own. Probably nothing that I can think of unless it was restricted by law.

I don't know dating your sister was ok by me but then she pulled out the chaw and that ended the date.

I'm in the never own a Glock just because if I wanted to own a brick (which is what they remind me of) I'd go to a brick yard and buy a ton of 'em.

Although some may think I'm sacrilegious, I never aspire to own a registered magnum...I think they are beautiful guns but, for me, all of the hullaboo about the multiple thousands they draw in cash just sucks the fun outta it for me...so I've had several other N frame .357s' and still have a couple and another pile of k-frame and L frame and Ruger magnums that just do it for me...and a few Glocks and a HK vp9 which took me some time to realise...they are amazing too...cheers

The wife of a fellow I knew owned one and loved it. She weighed 90 pounds soaking wet but loved shooting that beast. On day I ran into them at the local indoor range and she asked me if I’d like to shoot it. Sure! I shot a magazine full and couldn’t figure what she saw in shooting it. The one thing I remember other than the blast and recoil was one of the spent cases hit the ceiling above me and bounced down and hit me in the head and brought blood. Enough!!! No fun!!!

No desire for large bore hand cannons. I did own a Suer a blackhawk for many years but as arthritis set in my wrists I sold it and bought a model 34-1 Smith. I do still have a 29-2 but it was a gift from my dad and just can’t part with it.

Here is a goody! Remember the USFA company that made SAA's that rivaled or even beat Colt's version? Now, remember the super terrific gun that they decided to make instead of their wonderful SAA's?

It was the USFA Zip .22! If there was a bigger piece of junk made, I don't know what it was!

The Glock 19. Feels awkward. Shoots awkward. For me, anyway.

Strangely, though, I kinda want a Glock 36. In my experience, the .45 Glocks actually shoot very well.

Well lets see - there's a list of them I've never had any desire for (in no particular order). Glocks, AR's, AK's, Taurus, Rossi, HK, Ruger's, Henry's, Kimber's. Probably a few more if I really think about it.

I suppose I am some what of a boring type you could say. I stick to:
Vintage S&W's, Colts, Brownings, High Standard's, JM Marlin's, Remington's, Winchester's, Ithaca and I do own ONE Sig (a P365) but that's the only plastic gun I own.

Not the least bit interested in owning one of those Shockwave/TAC13, et. al. short barrel shotguns or Mare’s Leg short barrel rifle. I prefer a full stock and standard barrel on my long guns.

Any shotgun or rifle that doesn't have a butt stock and just has a pistol grip. I remember years ago when my buddy took the stock off his short barreled Winchester M1200 pump and installed a pistol grip. He loaded it with OO buck and wanted to see how fast he could destroy an old washing machine. Later he had a yellow and purple bruise on his ribs the size of a cantelope.

So hard to choose just one! I've successfully shunned several over the years. I'll just say I have no interest in what are (to me) gimmick guns. Working back in time I would include AR '"pistols", those goofy no-butt shotguns, .410 / .45 Colt revolvers, and any "derringer" in cartridges above and beyond .38 Special.

I have always loved single actions, going back to boyhood watching westerns. But I think the Bisley versions are ugly. Since I am so accustomed to the look of traditional single actions, the Bisleys look deformed.

One of the few instances in handguns where aesthetics are a factor for me.

Contrast that against my Glock, which is less than aesthetic, but I know of nothing more reliable. That is my sole reason it is my EDC.

Funny. I own about a dozen Glocks, and you'd have to pry them out of my cold dead hands.

Pretty much any "commemorative" gun would fall in my list of "guns I don't need to own." When I flip through a magazine and I see some company advertising the "so-and-so commemorative 1911", I cringe a bit.

"Never wanted to own", any production line firearm, that has been rebranded as a Limited Edition. Be it for a historical date (anniversary) or special event commemoration. No desire especially since many have a price premium. The Ed McGivern reissue was tempting though.

I foolishly bought a Taurus once, but never again will I waste money of a cheap, poorly made gun. The reason for the warranty is because Taurus wouldn't sell any firearms otherwise IMO.

The only firearm I would want less than a Glock is a Taurus. At least the Glock is a functional firearm, made by people who seem to know what they are doing. This is in stark contrast to whoever it is who is assembling Taurus products.

Pretty much any "commemorative" gun would fall in my list of "guns I don't need to own." When I flip through a magazine and I see some company advertising the "so-and-so commemorative 1911", I cringe a bit.

You mean you wouldn't want my Punxsutawney Phil Commemorative S&W Model 629 with the 8 3/8 inch barrel with "Punxsutawney Groundhog Club" in cursive on the barrel and Punxsutawney Phil engraved on the sideplate?

Only if I could shoot Gus, the 2nd most famous groundhog in PA, who does the annoying commercials for the PA Lottery scratch off tickets.

Keep on scratching!

BOOM!

You know, as soon as I posted that I knew that some joker would come along with some commemorative gun that would actually be worth owning. Apparently I was correct!

There's been so many "wouldn't have ones" that I restricted myself to just a small group of name-brand manufacturers. Now that I'm a LOT older, I see where I missed out on some interesting firearms. Even (gag) a Glock.

I thought I was the only one that didn’t care for Glocks

Really though I know they’re really fine guns but they’re just so ugly. Even though I own a Smith Shield 2.0 I feel pretty much all the polymer guns are ugly but the Shields performance out weighs the ugly factor.

I just tossed Glock out there because it was the first to come to mind but I guess I could list more guns I don’t care for than I could that I’d buy.

I know it's a Smiffy-Western but . . . . a "Governor"
It's been said that "there's a butt for every seat", but that one's not for me.

Taurus Judge/S&W Governor. I can't fathom the fascination with these boat anchors. "It shoots 410 shotgun shells!!!" Yeah, so what. If you were buying a shotgun for home defense, would it be a 410? Doubtful.

The Chiappa Rhino. If there's ever been an uglier pistol made, I can't think of it.

Never own. Probably nothing that I can think of unless it was restricted by law.
The OP doesn't specify I'd have to pay for "whatever" gun. I have several I would not, necessarily, have purchased but I'm glad to count them in them in the inventory and are thankful for the gift. I have gifted Browning BLR built in 1980 I never would have purchased but truly admire.

Glock and Taurus sure are taking a beating here!

I bought a police trade-in Glock 37 (.45 GAP) several years ago and got it on the cheap. I handload, have lots of GAP brass, and find the cartridge intriguing. The 37 has been 100% reliable and is plenty accurate. Fun gun IMHO. It's my only Glock, and likely will stay that way, but I'm glad to have it and it changed many of my pre-conceived notions about these Austrian wonders.

At the risk of being drummed out of the forum I admit to having two Taurus brand firearms. Both are nicely made, reliable, and fun. If you don't own a TX .22LR in my opinion you're missing one of the best, if not the best, semi-auto .22 LR on the market for the money. I have lots of .22 semi-auto pistols that were all more expensive than the TX and it's as good, generally better, than any of them.

And there's a Taurus Tracker five-shot .44 Mag in the rotation too. The Tracker is neither cheap nor inexpensive. About as ideal a fly-fishing rig in bear country as one could imagine; accurate and handy.

Don't care much for Kalashnikov stuff, anything Chinese, or Nazi proof marks. I can see poo-pooing individual models but can only come up with a small handful of manufacturers I'd discount entirely. Especially if I wasn't paying for them!
