    Any guns you keep that you aren't really fond of?

    I'm sure some of you out there have a few of these which are either non-rostered or a little rare. Do you have any that you don't really like but keep for one reason or another?

    Here are some of mine that I'm holding onto that I'm not too fond of:

    Series 80 Colt Gold Cup - non-rostered, bluing is nice, value going up, may use for a trade but I don't particularly like the adjustable sights and I also have a few more modern 1911s.

    Para P13 - non-rostered and I have a good amount of hi-caps for this gun. Grip is manageable with stock plastic grips and hurts my hand after a bit of shooting.

    Smith & Wesson 15-4 - non-rostered, pre-lock, and a snub. I like the quality but don't enjoy shooting them as much as semi-autos.

    Dan Wesson Mod 15 - Non-rostered, good looking, have 6" and 8" barrel. Again I enjoy owning revolvers but don't shoot them much.

    Some are not worth selling really, some just don't stand out as terrific but I keep them anyways, I could probably list easily 20-30 or more guns I own I don't really care about. I'd be happy to take a snub 15-4 off your hands and I recently got a Dan Wesson 8" I am fond of.

    One gun I will mention is a Steyr 95 8x56r I got a year or two ago for $65 OTD. I used to have another, got rid of it because of ammo supply problems. I just picked up this one and have never shot it mainly because straight pull bolt actions are interesting to me.

      I'm not all that fond of my Norinco 56S AK-47 because I rarely travel back to Texas to see it Does that count?

        I find glocks to be very uninteresting...

        however they are reliable and dependable so I won't be getting rid of mine.

          I still own it because it's not worth enough to sell.

          SA 1911 loaded, blued.
          .45 bullets are too expensive for the volume of shooting I like to do. Still have it because every American needs to own a 1911. I haven't used it since I quit shooting bowling pins 5 yrs ago, and I didn't use it much then.

          both guns work absolutely fine, I have no complaints about function.

            Break barrel New England Arms(?) .410. My first gun. It's nice for getting birds out of the fruit trees back home with out knocking off branches, but not much else.
            Marlin model 60. Shoots great, eats just about anything, remarkably accurate, dirt cheap when my dad got it for me. Not much love for it.
            Mosberg 500, first 12 gauge. Was shooting a little trap with my friends and figured I should have some sort of shotgun of my own in 12. Put a hundred, maybe two through it, got a real job and bought a Benelli.
            I always think about selling a few of them off. But I hate to have any off them leave my hands for some reason. Ought to trade them or something I would actually shoot I suppose.

              CZ P-01.
              It has been absolutely reliable through the 2000 rounds I've put down its pipe. But ever since I bought the SP-01, it just hasn't been shot. At. All. I might sell it one day for money to buy another gun.

                    S80 Colt NRM Government. Tiny sights, rattles, and a little uncomfortable to shoot.

                    USP 9 and 45 fullsize. Great gun, but the ergonomics are worse than a brick. High bore axis, really high so it doesn't feel natural in pointability, the trigger sucks, and the rail is proprietary. The bump in the trigger guard rubs my index finger everytime the gun recoils. Gripping the gun while riding the thumb safety is very awkward and uncomfortable. The safety sits too high and too parallel with the slide. I keep it around cuz it's an overall good gun, but I just never really enjoy shooting it.

                    PPK .380, cool niche gun, but ammo is more expensive to shoot than good ol' 9mm. I'll keep it because it's nice to have, but I'm not all to fond of it. I bought it initially as a carry pistol, but the weight of all steel is a turnoff.

                    G17. I never shoot it. I never bring it out. It's been replaced by my G34, but I can't get myself to sell it. I suppose it just acts as a backup to my G34 if that ever goes down and I must shoot Glock that day.

                    RRA A4 20": I'm not fond of OLL ARs/AKs/556 or any of the above that isn't used as it was intended to. My other lowers will just sit around unused.

                        I don't like my broken guns that don't shoot and can't be repaired.

                          Russian SKS. It's beautiful, but doesn't do much for me.

                            I have a three handguns (4506, tomcat and .45 back up) that don't shoot as I have others I like more. But since I can't sell them for much I keep them.

                              I have a couple 7mm mausers w/ excess headspace that are going to be wallhangers sooner or later.
                              I hate people that are full of hate.
