I believe it was the Beretta Cougar. Looked cool for some reason but the trigger pull was horribly long. Traded it off for a 1911 if I remember correctly.

For me it was the Colt Python. I just could not get used to the stacking double action trigger. I have owned two, before they became crazy expensive. The second one I had worked on by Austin Belhert ( our own Bruce Gray was working there at the time...) Even then the slight stacking drove me to sell it.

Sig Mosquito for me. I bought one with great anticipation, and then couldn't wait to dump it.

Another was a Colt Series 80 1911 back years ago. Honestly, probably stuff that could have been fixed easily, but it was a jam-o-matic.

I love my Python, but I do agree on the trigger feel. Way too cool to sell for me, but I think I prefer S&W triggers.

For me, although I still want one, is the Wildey. After holding one at a gun show, I fell in love with it but it is way too big and heavy for anything I would have any use for.

Browning BDM. First auto pistol I owned and it had a horrible trigger. Thought it would be a modern Hi Power, it wasn't.

My Desert Eagles were like that for me. Once the novelty wore off they just monopolized the fourth shelf in the safe. Seems I have a fickle relationship with 92fs pistols too. The AK47 was nothing to write home about. Can't seem to love Glocks for very long either.

Star Firestar M43 in Starvel.....I couldn't stop it from chewing up firing pins.....Loved the gun!.....Zebulon

Another one I thought was cool was the Beretta Px4.
Liked the rotating barrel, and fit well in my hand.

Shot a co-worker's full-size, and I couldn't get anything resembling a decent group.
Completely turned me off.

S&W 6906, always looked cooler than it shot

ensigmatic described my experience with the Glock 22. GT Dist always has PD trade-ins so I bought a 2nd gen for $289. The allure of carrying 30 rds of 0.40 caliber was irresistable. I was going to use it for the Limited and Limited 10 divisions of USPSA. The dang G22 grouped like a smooth bore musket. I traded it and a Ruger 95 for a Beretta 89 Gold Standard.

For some reason, I get very little satisfaction out of AR-15s. I’ve owned a bunch of them and always ended up selling them. I currently own a Colt Combat Unit Carbine that I bought in May of last year. I’ve accessorized it, swapped out some parts including the trigger and charging handle, yet still haven’t shot it. I’m not saying that it’s a bad gun, it just doesn’t do much for me as I’d rather shoot my handguns and 10/22. Sometimes I think the only thing that makes me keep it is knowing how great they fill the self-defense role.

I thought the Beretta 9000s looked kinda cool, so I made an impulse buy. This thing had some of the worst ergonomics of any pistol I've ever held. The grip felt big enough for a .45 triple stack magazine. The safety/decocker was horribly designed and it probably took less effort to turn a train track switching lever than to operate the safety. I don't know if any Beretta employee bothered to shoot or test one before it was dumped upon the unsuspecting public.
