What was/is your cheapest piece of junk handgun? - Page 5

I too have a "little" RG 23 (.22 cal). I bought this gun from my buddy for $20. I needed a little "varmit" pistol as we tend to trap alot of opposums and raccoons here on the farm and I got tired of luggin the rifle out to take care of "bussiness". Granted it probably isn't the best of quality but I really do not think it's a piece of junk either. It works fine and does what I got it for.

Back in the early 1960's, I used to mail order some for around $10 for 22 short.

Probably the most worthless I have is a Colt No. 4 Derringer in .22 short. The ones made back in the 1960's. Different variations were termed "Lord" and "Lady" derringers and they came cased. Still, because of the Colt name there's a collector's demand for them out there. Not for this one however. Was a gift from my brother-in-law and sort of shop worn when I got it. I've had good fun with it shooting at cans and weed heads on occasion.

The cheapest SemiI ever bought was a glock 35 for $280 I would exactly say it was a piece of junk.

The Cheapest Revolver was a Taurus 850 CIA it ran flawlessly.

NO I take that back.

I got A Glock 19 for $175 dollars.

Bwahahaha. I've one with plastic grips. It was my great grandfather's. The velocity out if it is so low that it won't shoot through thin sheet metal but the same round in a semiauto rifle will punch the same piece every time.

Hi-Point .40, although I must admit it functioned flawlessly until the day I sold it.

I was given a Sterling Arms .22 pistol. Best single-shot-automatic I ever owned!!!!!!

I have a Jennings .25 that I got when my Dad passed away. That thing wouldn't fire two rounds with out jamming. I worked on it for fun and got that thing running really well, but now I need another part for it. One of these days I am going to get it back up and running.
