What was/is your cheapest piece of junk handgun? - Page 9

PAPACHUCK · January 21st, 2008, 04:36 PM

Cheapest - 3" Rossi M68, 5-shot .38 - has run perfectly for 13yrs. $69 at pawn shop.

Next cheapest - Iver Johnson .22 mag revolver - works O.K. $75

Next cheapest - Bryco M48 .380 - well over 1200 rds thru it - finally showing some wear - $79.00

Next cheapest - Pheonix Arms HP22A - Purrs like a kitten. $115

Only gun I have/had that was "junk" - Standard Arms SA-9 - paid $175 for it and it broke into hundreds of pieces after about 30 rds. and the company went out of business.

I like cheap guns, especially if they work!

Oh, and I also have a "free" gun that someone didn't want....Yup, a RG22 short! It works, but thats about all I can say good about it.

The cheapest, a Davis .32, worked just fine with FMJ only. The biggest pieces of junk? 1. IntraTec Cat 9. Huge POS! 2. Early 90s Springer 1911. After it came back the second time it was gone. 3. Charter Arms Bulldog Pug. The action would lock up and the barrel shroud wouldn't stay in place.

RG .22! I've killed so many possums and other wild animals with that gun, it's hard to call it junk. It was free, but it's been long since retired when I read it was crap. I thought ...Made in Germany ... must be great! I Must have been wrong.
