What was/is your cheapest piece of junk handgun?

I have to admit years ago I purchased a Bryco Arms .380 auto for about $30 at a gun show. worse yet I still have it. Only fired it once and it cut the heck out of my hand. Heck maybe it will be a collector’s item one day? NOT.

Cheap

I can beat that. In the back of one of the safes is an RG revolver, .22 short. It works, too. One step above a starter pistol or evan a cap gun. How did I get it....... It's a long story.

Hi-Point 40Had it for a month. I will have to admit that it never FTF and was very accurate.

Your First Handgun, ole reliability ... ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is an Iver Johnson .32 S&W long I recieved in 1959.
Old reliability it's not. The DA trgger pull is heavy and the ammo is hard to find and has less ft-pounds than a .22lr.
I have it.

The cheapest is a single action 44-40 that I paid about 160 for brand new. It however is not a piece of junk. I can proudly say that I don't have anything that I would consider junk. Everything functions as expected when I purchased them.

Same here except it is a 9mm. It still shoots good. You should have kept yours so that when you go shooting with newbies, you can use it as a loaner, and not loan out your expensive guns. Better yet, they probably will not know the difference until that buy their own.

Also, everyone needs a swamp gun that still shoots, and if you lose it, buy another for the cost of a couple of ski lift tickets.

Guess I just had one, (cheapest) given to me. It was a Mauser HSc pistol in 9mm kurtz-(or .380) shot it a few times but was never really loved---that went towards my Norinco 1911 in the early 90's. I don't currently have a "was/is your cheapest peace of junk handgun. I kinda wish I did in a way. Say------------------How's about some pics----and I might even see fit to throw in an extra $5 for you storing it for me for so long!

Dang - someone else already mention an RG in .22 short - thought I'd win that one LOL. What a loada horse puckey it is, but fun to have as an example of the ''genre'' !!

I have an old crap "Young Americans'' junker in .22 short and also a poor specimen Ivor Johnson .32. They were aquired when someone threw them out - hardly any use!! Don't really count those.

The RG's seemed to get all sorta names slapped on em - mine had ''Puppy''
