I have one that fits that description. 3rd Generation S&W autos have never been my favorites. I've owned a few and could just never warm up to them.

Recently, I found this police trade-in @ $249 with one 14 round magazine.They started out with approximately 150 of them. I bought the last one after leaving them on the shelf a few times.



It is a 5906. It has one job at my house which is to remain loaded with 127 +P+ Winchester Ranger hollowpoints hidden yet accessible. It feeds any ammo I've tried without a hitch. But, it still hasn't grown on me anymore than the others did in the past. But, it is the "out of sight " not "out of mind" pistol inside my house.

I posted this here because I want to hear from everyone if they have anything that fits this criteria. Long gun or handgun,what have you got???

Sure. I have several AR rifles. I don't give a whit about them. I have learned to operate them, build, and repair them. I expect they might come in handy one of these days.

I have a LNIB 3913LS that I picked up cheap. Don't like it - can't shoot it worth a darn. I am a good shot with all of my other autos and revolvers. Can't bring myself to get rid of it since everyone says how great they are and what a good deal I got on it.

When I was a kid I fell into bad company. I was"adopted" by 3 brothers, all
older than me. They never bought anything but Remingtons. My family was
Winchester& Browning. But to keep up with the "Jones" I had to have what
they had. Remington 1100s, 870s, 700s, 742s, 760s and 700s. In a few years
I went back to my roots, Win. & Browning. That was in the 60s. For some
reason I still have the 870 Wingmaster. It was bought as a slug gun, has had
less than 50 rds. through it. My main deer slugger was A-5 Browning. I never
warmed up to the 870 but still got it. Maybe just as a reminder of the old
Gang,

Yes, I have. Last fall I bought a S&W M&P40 VTAC. I love the look and feel and it shoots OK considering the ****** trigger they come with but it has no Soul.(And why should I have to spend a couple of hundred bucks to buy an aftermarket firing system to make it right) That and the fact that the only two magazines that fall free without dragging them out are the two that came with it (out of the 10 or so I own). It is a beautiful unit and I want to like it but I have a boat load of money in it. (like my home mortgage, I am underwater on it.)and somehow I don't think there will ever come a time when someone will be willing to pay 3 or 4 times what they sold for new (like we do for older S&W or Colt revolvers) Maybe I shoulda bought a HiPoint, then when I decided it was junk, I could have used it for a Duck Decoy anchor or maybe a weight on a down rigger! Rant mode off! GB

I trade my Kel Tec for your 3rd gen. Bought, didn't like it. Hurts like anything to shoot, but it's what I could afford.

You got a great gun at a great price. Certainly at that price it is perfect for the use you have put it to. It is absolutely reliable, almost indestructible, and relatively accurate with a lot of fire power. If it gets stolen you are not out much money.

Congratulations!


Third generations S&W are my absolute favorite semi-auto loaders.

A Taurus 22 revolver. 3 trips back to the factory in Florida. It seems fine at the moment but I have no confidence in it at all. I couldn't live with myself if I sold it knowing what someone unspecting person was geting. It looks good though.

Yes I did, M&P .45 Just sitting in the safe doing nothing. Time for it to go

I have a beautiful Remington 700 BDL 30-06 and I love how the gun handles and shoots and the wood is really pretty. But I like to do a lot of shooting and general plinking with all my guns and that recoil takes away the fun.

If any of you guys wants to hold a Karma....I'm in.

Well....somebody was gonna say it.

When I was a pharma rep I took groups of docs to TM Ranch (a local sporting clays facility that has since closed) for "lunch." I bought a Fabarms "Sporting Clays Gold Lion" autoloader as a loaner. Must have put 10k rounds of "AA" light loads through it in a short time. Haven't had it out of the safe in almost 10 years. I would sell it but it brings back happy memories. Well except for the time my then 12 year old smashed a golf cart into a doctor's car and cost me $2K (half my quarterly bonus!) to repair it. Joe

Yep. I bought a Sig 1911-22 to compliment my Sig TacOps 1911. The finish began chipping away on the first outing, plus its just not anywhere near as accurate as it should be. After I purchased it I found out it isn't made by Sig Sauer at all, it is made by GSG. Now I need to refinish the thing just to sell it.

I have a Star Firestar that I bought for concealed carry, but the grip shape is just all wrong for my hands to draw it and get on target quickly. On the range it shoots great, but it is no use to me as a carry gun.

I also have a few milsurp rifles in this category, the good news being
I paid low money for them. Mostly it's bedding issues that mean they don't shoot well. Otherwise they are typical examples of their type, which I guess is OK from a collecting standpoint.

Bought an AR just because there were people saying a citizen should not be "allowed" to have them.

I bought a Beretta tomcat and the frame cracked the first time out. I sent it back and they replaced it with an inox version. That was several years ago and it sits in my safe unfired. I should probably try to sell it but I'm not sure anyone would want it. Guess I could use it as a paper weight.

I have a high point, goes bang every time I pull the trigger, hits what I aim at. Heavy, fuggly, don't feel right but goes bang every time I pull the trigger.... that's all I want for a truck gun, pull it out every 3 months or so , clean it , new ammo and back to sleep locked up in the truck. Wouldn't treat my Smiths like that.

Yes, I have had 2 handguns and one small caliber rifle I never warmed up to. All of them are gone.

Norinco 9mm. Chinese copy of a Russian pistol.Old as the hills and ugly as sin and the smith I asked to replace the safety said he would but it would fall out quickly just as the original did. But this pistol has never had a FTF. No matter what fodder I feed it, it always runs. Cannot be sure of hitting a 12" target @ 15 ft but will scare the heck outta someone long enough to get the Glocks, Smiths or one of the several Rugers scattered about the house, garage, vehicle. And no one wants to steal it!

Yeah,

A model 39.....in 9mm

It ain't one for a big bore man.

Norinco 9mm. Chinese copy of a Russian copy of a Browning 1903? Frigging ugly, and the smith I talked to said he would replace the safety but it would fall out soon just like the original did. Can't hit anything less than 12"dia on a reliable basis at any distance further than 15'. But it has never had a FTF. I keep it @ the bedside and at least I may scare the carp outta a burglar and get the chance to secure the family.

Years ago I bought an SKS for $99.00. This was before Clinton fracked down on imports.

Bought a couple cases of ammo too.

Took it to the range once.

It's been taking up space in the safe since.

Nothing wrong with it: just doesn't interest me.

Bought an excam single action 22 about 40 years ago.Couldnt hit a barn door from the inside with it.Dont have the heart to foist it off on anyone

I have a few, I look at them today setting in the safe and say to myself, Why the *^%# did you buy that?
One was a Smith CS 45, When I bought it I wanted to add another 45 to my collection, after shooting it a few times, I hated it so I gave it to my kid who returned it to me in the form of a Glock 33 .357 Sig? Now that I like!
But I do have a couple of rifles and two other pistols that are just taking up space! Don't know why I bought them but I won't sell them for some reason?

I had a beautiful little scoped Remington 600 in 308 Winchester. It kicked the **** out of me with every pull of the trigger. I also had a Remington 700 and a Mauser in 458 Winchester Winchester Magnum that didn't kick me anything like that 600. i still wish I had it back because it was so dang pretty, handy, and accurate.

they were collateral for a "loan" that fell apart... with a long time friend... and I haven't heard from him in a while - years... so I dumped most of them... he was a fan of big bore snubbies revolvers... I never was and did not find anyone who would... but l ended up keeping a pair... truly enjoy shooting the 45lc 5 shot ultra lite... did not expect to like it at all... the 44 mag is waiting for a friend to get the cash together... then it goes bye bye... until then... I guess I am keeping the "didn't like it gun...

SIG Mosquito .22. It belonged to my wife. She picked it out after deciding she didn't like the Ruger 22/45 I bought her.

While not as problematic as an internet search would indicate, it does have the most horrendous trigger I've had the misfortune to experience and it does have definite preferences regarding ammo. Additionally I've never been able to hit a barn with the thing.

But the wife loved it and actually could shoot it pretty well. The walnut grips are aftermarket I got for her soon after she got the gun. It sits in the safe along with her SIG 9mm.

Ruger P90 worst trigger of any handgun I've ever owned. I use it as a nightstand gun that should get me to the Mossberg 500 in the closet.

I've got a 645 that I can't warm up to. Thought I needed one, waited to find a fairly nice one, and after shooting it a couple of times, I just can't get used to it.

It's going up for sale or trade any day now, I need a ham radio base station more than I need that taking up space in the safe.

I have a S&W Model 317 airweight....I just don't like or need.I was going to trade for a Walther PPS.....my gunsmith told me DON'T do that!! He said,How many 317's have you seen lately?? I said....none.....he said put it away....so I have!! Why??I guess because I haven't seen any....so maybe it will be worth something later!
Jim

Problem with the safety on that gun is that it's an afterthought for import purposes. The Tokarev never had a safety but one is needed for import

I've gotten rid of most of mine that I didn't care for. I'm not one to keep them around if it can be traded towards something else. Just traded away a HK P2000 9mm. My god I've always wanted one, finally got one but the 50lbs double action pull was horrible. It wasn't as bad at the fun store when pointing at random things and pulling the trigger but at the range when trying to make shots count it was bad.....bad and slow. I was so disappointed but it happens

I think with this one,,, I can not get used to the trigger!!??

I have a Cobra Derringer in 38 spcl.I bought because I liked it.
Now it just sits in the back of My Safe because unless the thing your shooting at is closer than three feet You will miss it.

Too bad you're not in Kalifornistan. You could get a pretty quid or two for that gem.

Bought an evil black rifle right before the Clinton gun ban because I thought I should have one since they were trying to ban them. I have to admit I don't like it much and don't shoot it. I hang on to it just have it I guess.

S&W Bodyguard.380. Wee bit too small, laser eats batteries like candy, has been back to Springfield to get it back into battery. Stays in the safe, but should sleep with the fishes.

Yep, a governor...

Have never really liked my Model 67. It was not the 66 I craved and the top strap screw and ejector lug constantly loosened, just like on other stainless guns of the period, I've discovered. Yet I've put over 18,000 rounds through it and I use it to qualify for my CCW. Folks comment at those times how well I shoot with it. I know someone will snap it up if I were to sell it, so it stays.

My Bond derringer is another. I've put too much $ into it with extra bbls and it's too heavy to do anything with. I try not to look at it too hard, or I will find myself buying another bbl for it. I have a Forum buddy who also loves derringers, and HE doesn't want it! So it sits.

One.... A Double Tap 9mm. Hurt like sin after firing just 6 rounds.

Put me in The AR crowd.
Have a Colt 6920 still in the
box and around 1000rds.

I have never bought and kept a gun I didn't like. If it aint what I expected, down the road it goes. I have been issued weapons I never would have purchased on my own if given a choice. The unreliable Colt 9mm AR subgun comes to mind.

Larry

Yep. A 4046. Guess where I got it...

No but I get bored with certain guns and don't shoot em for extended periods. Then out of the blue something will pop into my head... maybe a new stock, grips, night sights, whatever... and I'll be all over it like a new gun for a while. Then I'll get bored again...
