Has anyone shot a gun and it not be "all that its cracked up to be"?

Most surprising gun

It was a S&W 10-4.

I stood twenty feet from the pie plate, cocked the hammer, aimd and fired.
There was a loud bang and a hole one inch form the center of the plate. I put two more next that one.

I hate this revolver. It makes all my other guns look so bad. :D
 
Yes I have:
An M44 Mosin Nagant. Loved the look and even the way it felt in my hands, like I was going to go skewer some Germans! (Which my family, being German, didn't care for too much) but I just can't hit the broad side of a barn with it! I sold it two years after buying (having shot maybe a hundred rounds), made $100.

Also, I do not know the brand, but I once rented two guns at a local shooting range. One was a beat up old G17, and the other was (according to the guy at the desk) a one month old custom made 1911. Having never shot a 1911 before i paid the $30 to rent it. The gun felt ok in my hand, but just wasn't that accurate, i shot better groups with the Glock! :0

I have also usually been pretty bored with the .38 Specials I have shot. I liked then fine, but they just seem much cooler (like a Detective special or a S&W 10) than they usually are to shoot. Especially, I once shot .38 special out of a dad's friend's .357 Mag and I was just bored. I like shooting .22's, but it was just, boring.

Surprised to see so many HK's on the list. :confused: I absolutely loved the USP .45 and HK45's that i have shot. The USP felt like an extension of my hand the first time I shot it. I would buy one if I could afford it. Personal preference I suppose. I do know a couple guys who said they felt like the gun didn't fit their hand well, so maybe I have weird shaped hands or something...?
 
Glock - 19 and 23. I understand that they work but I just cannot hit with them.

Sig 226 - DA/SA is a deal breaker for me. I can get used to the DA pull, and the SA is no sweat, but the transition between them for 1-2 shot strings throws my rhythm off. I have no idea why DA/SA is so popular...

CZ75 - I am a big BHP fan so I was excited to try it out, but it just felt clunky and awkward compared to the Brownings. I wanted to like it so much..
 
MAC-10. I didn't expect it to be an ergonomic wonder, but I wasn't prepared for just how uncomfortable the stamped-steel handle was. Not a pleasant gun to shoot at all.
 
First was a Glock model 20 that blew up in my face.

The second was a benelli semi auto shotgun. I thought that I would want one but it was a jamming piece of junk. Totally disappointed.
 
PX4 sc- ugh loved the look and feel just didn't like the way it shot. But maybe that's just beretta for me, hate the 92's as well.
