What's your most regretted purchase?
Mine is easily the 1911 Government I bought on impulse at a show. Paid $499, hated the trigger, traded it at a loss 3 months later. Expensive lesson.
What gun do you wish you'd never bought?

Interesting take. I went the other direction and picked up a Glock 19 instead. No regrets so far but ask me again in 6 months.
Not sure I agree but I respect the opinion. For me the Canik TP9 Elite has been rock solid for 10 months now.
I run a similar setup and it's been flawless. Good choice.
Ouch... mine was a Hi-Point C9. Thought I was being smart buying cheap for my first pistol. Thing jammed every other shot and felt like a brick. Learned real quick that sometimes you get what you pay for.
We've all been there! Mine was a .40 S&W that I bought because "bigger is better" - hated shooting it, sold it for $200 less than I paid. Learned to research first and impulse buy never. Now I tell new shooters to rent and try different guns before committing to anything.
Haven't made any big mistakes yet since I'm still pretty new to this, but I almost bought a Taurus G2C as my first carry gun. Glad I asked around here first - ended up with a Glock 19 instead.
Taurus Judge. What a piece of junk that was. Bought it thinking the .410/.45 combo would be perfect for snakes on the farm. Thing was so inaccurate I couldn't hit a barn door. Traded it for a Smith 686 and never looked back. Sometimes the gimmicky stuff just ain't worth it.
