5 handguns you dont have and you dont want.

1. Desert Beagle ... it's a dog. Ugly, too big to be a handgun but not quite a rifle so pointless.
2. Sig Sour ... ugly ... any of them except maybe a 1911 clone and the beautiful P230. I'd only own one for the same reason I bought a Glock - just to try it, and learn their idiosyncrasies. Turns out I didn't mind that Glock 21 jam-omatic once it coughed through break in, but it's still ugly and only satisfactory marks for ergonomics.
3. Cheapa Rhino ... Chiappa is not of highest quality, and true to it's name the Rhino is ugly.
4. Heckler (Kough)? - priced high because ... they can?
5. Norchicom and anything from countries of ill repute (looking at you to remnant of the Ottoman empire.) Any country that is highly abusive to it's citizens, or majority has system of values that regularly accost those who share mine I'm not interested patronizing more than I must.
 
Anything Revolver sums it up for me as well. As my experience grows I am sure my dud list will grow. But for now, anything revolver is my answer.

I tried quite a number of glocks out for feel in my hands, and I can understand how certain models might turn them off based on handle feel alone. But aside from that, my experience has been great. Simple to tear apart and clean, not fussy with the ammo used, and just plain reliable. Considerably lighter than all metal guns, but that just adds to the challenge of mastering good technique in controlling that upward kick after firing.

I just saw a dessert eagle for the first time in a store, that is a gun intended for more than 2 hands. Fun as a one off shot, but then back in the case.
 
About 500 guns ago, when I was a new shooter and quite un-well off, I bought a Hi point in 40 s & w. As buttfugly as it was, I put about 1200 rounds through it without a single jam. It was also one of the most accurate handguns I ever owned. (No doubt due to the fixed non tilting barrel.) I only sold it because it felt like I was dating a prostitute.
 
The Keltec PMR-30. I just don't understand what the purpose of a 22 Mag semi auto handgun is?

The Glock isn't for me but that's because double stack Glock grips are very uncomfortable for people with less than large hands. The corner radius on the grips are too small and if they don't line up just right with your finger joints then they dig in and cause discomfort. The G48 is a different beast though, those grips are comfortable for smaller handed people.

The PMR30 only makes sense in the USA. There, you get 30 shots per mag. Lots of people struggle with recoil/muzzle flash of centerfire pistols. The PMR30 gives you a controllable round and 30 of them to boot. I wouldnt want to get hit with a .22 mag round by someone who could shoot it well because they dont have recoil flinches.

LOL, Love it, But I spilled my coffee, damn it.
A guy I know showed one to me at one of my shows and asked me if I thought he should buy it?, looked like it was fine, price 150.oo, ugly piece of crap, but it does what it is suppose to do, very well, But I just can't get over the look.
 
wow the desert eagle hate is out in full force haha !

My list
Norinco/dominion - They work perfectly however they are ugly as sin
any Turkish made product - Poorly made , bad metallurgy & not a country I want my money supporting
Sig ... anything - I simply cannot shoot them well
Hi Point - .... its a hi point
Smith & Wesson SD_VE line. - They are not worth the material they are made from, buy a performance center M&P or regular M&P
 
Yep ,I should have said 22 mag, 44, I would still have it, just to look at ,LOL.
at one time ,I had all 3 sizes of those silly things, and than some fool comes along with money in his pocket, and they leave.
