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.

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.

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. ------------------------- XD .40 Ruger P95 Bushmaster AR15 SKS Remington 870 |

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'' ![]() ![]()
