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.
The gun I never had any desire to own________. Fill in the blank.

Anything that is too pretty or valuable to shoot.

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 not that they aren't good guns I don't particularly care for AR's either, but i do own one because the price was too low to pass up.

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.

just teasing here.
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 Nylon 66. Some people swear by them, but I'll pass.

A 50 caliber magnum revolver. I value my wrists too much.

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.

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.
