Most over rated or over hyped pistol?

[bernse]

We've had lots of threads on the nicest looking gun, and others on what people think are great guns.

So.. what would you nominate for over rated or over hyped pistol? The gun doesn't necessarily have to be a piece of junk.. just not "fantastic" or all it's cracked up to be. If you could give a reason for your opinion would be great too.

Been done... think the Glock won it

 

[Musky Hunter]

BERETTA & GLOCK!

 

[Hitzy]

Deasert Eagle........

 

[firemachine69]

All the above are correct.

Plus HK "*".

BERETTA & GLOCK!

I was gonna say that...you beat me to it

 

[IM_Lugger]

HK and Glock

 

[Silverback]

HK P7, and yes I did own a P7M13.

 

[Tanis]

Glock.

Not that they're bad pistols, I'm just tired of people telling me how they can shoot underwater, and avoid metal detectors...

Same with HK and Beretta. Whenever you find out a magical weapon that does my laundry, let me know.

I'd have to agree with Glock and Beretta. I could trust my life to a glock but they're still overhyped. If I had a beretta I'd unload it and surrender. HK I cannot comment on personally. SIG still holds the ultimate place in my heart, I'd trust my life to a SIG anyday.

 

[firemachine69]

Hand over the gun, no mag.Die Hard style.
Sorry, had to say it.

Berretta 92-F hands down the most over rated POS in the history of handguns.

Jennings, Byrco, Lorcin from the "Ring of Fire" they actually call these paperweights pistols. Check out the reviews, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/guns/more/rating.html

I can't remember who said it originally, but:

"Italians make food, Germans make tools."

 

[Musky Hunter]

ROTFLMAO!!

"Italians make food, Germans make tools."

 

[IM_Lugger]

if anything Berettas are underrated...

 

[freddo]

Desert Eagle hands down. Every "bad guy" in the movies has one.
Yeah, a nice, concealable handgun.

 

[Sinasta]

I think people just like Desert Eagles because they look cool...not necessarily overhyped.

My vote goes for BERETTA and GLOCK.

Guys... All guns are overrated. A gun is pretty much just a screwdriver, except instead of using it to turn screws, you use it to poke holes in paper, or some people use them to ventilate evildoers.

That said, the deagle is clearly the most overrated.
