Guns you wanted to love

I gave the CZ75 a shot but I don't like it. The slide and frame felt like teeth grinding together, the rubber grip was cheap, and the red dot for the safety fell the fuck off. Just felt cheap all around.

My glock. Bought a Glock 34 after fucking around with my friends and never grew to like it. It never fit in my hands comfortably and I would always be off my aim point to the left by an inch or two. Liked the cheap accessories and the aftermarket, but I shoot my other pistols way better.

Sig P226.

Way more muzzle flip than a heavy full size 9mm should ever have. Muh bore axis.

It's very accurate and fun to shoot otherwise so I'll hang on to it.

I got mine last January, and loved it... for a little while.

I put it down and kind of forgot about it until recently, when I tried to shoot it again. The interchangeable grips cut up my hand. That square ass hurts my knuckle. It's not comfortable to hold or use. It's a great gun, but they fucked up the ergonomics beyond belief.

Ruger American Pistol, I wanted to love you, but it was not meant to be.

I'm looking for a Glock to replace it.

The left shooting is purportedly caused by the Hex rifling; may be bullshit, but it's commonly spewed enough that there's a point of contention against the gun.

If this is true, then it makes a bit of sense. I shoot qualifiers from different agencies for fun and practice and average at least 75% on them with my P-09. It baffled me to no end that I couldn't replicate that with a pistol with a longer barrel and sight radius.

I tried to love it, I really did, but the P2000 just feels so much more right in the hand with the smallest back strap and the reduced textured grip.

Browning Hi-power in 40

Before you guys flip out, this was back in the 90's, and 9mm was considered ineffective and weak, and 40 was the wonder bullet to end all bullet debates. Just how it was.

Anyone, I finally found one after years of searching, and still have it, but all the issues

>hammer bite out the ass
>heaviest slide spring of any gun I owned
>awkward safety
>magazines had a spring assist, which is pretty cool, but makes them expensive and hard to find
>Browning's Epoxy coating is literally slippery
>just not as nice as a 9mm hi-power to shoot.

That heavy ass spring does make recoil non-existant, but racking the slide with the hammer down is insanely hard, and your hands are likely to slip before full compression.

>>heaviest slide spring of any gun I owned
It's not the "slide spring". The recoil spring is only 16lbf. Not that light, but not that heavy. The real problem is the fucking retarded 32lbf mainspring. I never was unable to do it, but I know there are a lot of weaker people who would have trouble and there's no good reason for the mainspring to be 32lbf.

Thanks for the correction. I knew slide spring was wrong, but I could not remember the right word.

So disappointing. The combination of 40 (which was the uberbullet at the time, in a classic and badass package. The 10 round capacity was also fine, as that's what all guns were restricted too.

It's not that I didn't like it, just not enough. I bought it with the intentions of changing it to my EDC. I just couldn't get to liking it enough to replace what I was (and still am) carrying.

>>33479672
I wasn't correcting you on your use of slide spring, I was correcting you on which of the springs was the problem. I think they have a 26lb mainspring available which is still heavy, but not as bad. Unfortunately there is no solution to the shit safety on the MkIII. I haven't ever experienced hammer bite from them, though.

pure bullshit, it's cause my shooters anticipating the recoil and pulling the gun down and left.

Unless you get a lemon - guns leave the factory with dead on windage.

Remington 870.

Everyone has one and swears by them, so I bought in.

the remington r51. It looked so good on paper and I was willing to give Remington the benefit of the doubt. What they gave out wasnt just bad, it was fucking insulting they let them out of the factory like that
never again

A few of my carry guns fall into this:

Sig 239

>shot amazing with the SRT trigger, but it's still a big, heavy, single stack 9 that I would have to keep on checking for rust spots on because I live in FL

SW M&P 45c

>great sized gun, never cared for the trigger, even after the Apex upgrade. Slide to frame fit was so garbage that I could lose sight picture by adjusting my support hand.

Sig P320c

> After the initial hype I just started to like it less and less. It didn't really do anything wrong other than rust a bit on the recoil spring but again, sigs and Florida

Right now I cc and hk45ct or a g19 and while I love them both, the HK is only handgun I've had that I've continuously loved over the years.
