What was the WORST gun you ever own?
...Actually I can think of two! 1967 I purchased my first new 22LR with two of my paychecks working as a busboy at Ellington AFB. It was a Winchester 190! Paid $59 for it and sold it for $25 3 yr.s later. What a sinker!!
Next was an Erma 22LR "Luger" ...got it at K-mart in 68, paid $59 for it ...it worked for 2 weeks and the firing pin broke. I took it back and picked up the other one they had and again 2 weeks later the firing pin broke again. Took it back again, but they didn't have any more "Lugers" and the only thing that caught my eye was a Colt single action buntline scout in 22LR for $69. So I coughed up the other $10 buck and never looked back. I sold that weapon in 1985 for $325!
Interesting note: In 1989 I was working with a "gun nut" and we were talking about Lugers ...and how expensive they were but would be nice to have a shooter. I then told him about my Erma Luger and instantly he wanted one! I told him about the difficulties I had, but that was 20 years ago, SO he got one ...and 2 weeks after he got it the firing pin broke! *L*
