I think my cheapest gun is my 442...
Maybe once I've got all the nice ones I want I'll start getting cheap ones for kicks. That will be a while though. Austin |

Ditto! One Raven .25. Didn't really shoot so bad, but it was ugly! I think my dog ate it.

The only cheap piece of crap I ever owned was an RG. It drew blood on me and my brother one day when the cylinder didn't line up with the barrel and we shot it....splitting two halves of the bullet out the sides striking us both. We weren't hurt to badly but it did sting.
That fine piece of machinery promptly made its way to the bottom of a pond where it still sits to this day..no doubt rusted up beyond all recognition.

swiftyjuan: Your dog ate it?
Remind me not to be messing with your pooch, man. I've never had a real piece of trash. I had a 10mm Witness Compact that jammed a lot, and I had a couple of CZ-52's that shot about a foot under POA at 3 yards (and it didn't get better as you went further out- I tried it just to find out). All those guns shot pretty accurately, though (tight groups), and were bargain-priced. I've had a Smith .44 Special revolver that hurt to shoot and with which I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, and Taurus .38 that did the same thing. But those two were reliable. Never had an unreliable, inaccruate gun. But I'm still a fairly young man....

I remember the RG's, they were of "cap gun technology".
I guess the worst gun I own is a Jennings .22. A friend of my aunts died and I bought everything he owned (which wasn't much, from his family) his property included the Jennings pistol. I've never shot it, and it sits in it's original box in my gunsafe.

Jennings 22 lr. The only use for it is a fishing line weight. It found a new home some time ago-good riddens.

I too had a Jennings setting in my safe for 25 years and a couple of months ago I took it with me to a gun show and sold it to a dealer for $25 and I set the price. I originally purchased it for my wife when someone got raped near her office on Pope AFB NC. They had a little walk through gate without guards on it just behind her building and a trailer park next to it. There was no CCW provision in NC at the time and I figured better to be tried by 12 then carried by 6. The only thing it did would go off when you pulled the trigger. I will give it that but that is it. I also traded a pre war Mauser 22 rifle that my father brought back from WWII for a S&W model 28 .357 when I was 18 years old and thought I needed a .357. Worst trade I ever made and I wouldn't give you $50 for the S&W. After lots of searching I finally found another Mauser .22 to replace the one I traded off and paid $450 for it. I don't even remember what happened to the S&W but I still enjoy shooting the Mauser.

Cheapest one I've got in a Corba derringer in .38SPL, bought for like $110. Not practical, but fun to shoot, besides, the little things are kinda cool.
