Guns You Wanted To Love, but just couldn't...

Ya'll have taken this one completely off the rails. P7? AUG? GARAND?

Oh my......

If you think the trigger on the AUG is bad, you haven't shot the OEM TAR21 or SCAR triggers. The AUG trigger is actually usable.

Garand? Thats near Blasphemy right there Bubba.

I still wonder what was wrong with your SCAR. I'm not a trigger snob by any stretch, but the OEM SCAR trigger is better than any stock bullpup trigger. The AUG is especially bad in that sense.

I can only speak from my wallet.

I ponied up for G-Triggers on both the SCAR and TAR. Don't get me wrong, the AUG trigger isn't great, but it isn't bad enough where I felt I absolutely had to spend nearly $500 on a replacement.

In my opinion, the SCAR and TAR trigger upgrades are must haves......If I could find the original SCAR trigger, I'd pop it back in and take a reading on it, but I'd bet its dern near a 20# pull. Maybe it breaks in with use, but that damn thing came out within a week after one range session.

ETA: I'm not a trigger snob either, I can shoot the HK rifle triggers just fine and they aren't anywhere near world class, they're kind of funky, springy/spongy compared to other triggers. That said, most of my non Colt AR's have SSA-E's which tends to spoil me a bit. I took my mostly Colt A2 to the range on Thursday with a Colt Mil-Spec trigger and I was like oh shit, that is a harder break than most of my other rifles. But I managed to get the irons adjusted and shoot decent groups.

The only problem is the P7 is still the most accurate handgun of that size that I've ever fired. Carries nice and flat and the cocked / uncocked in a second is a damn dream feature. It remains my second favorite handgun of all time.

Ok, I gotta ask what is number one then? - P7 is probably my #1 -

Kahr PM9, bought it back when single stack micro pistols were the big thing before the new 1.5 stack 10+ shot micros came out. Never could hit the broad side of a barn with it, it was breaking magazine followers, it doesn't hit to POA even when I'm doing my part. Nicely built little gun, but I never really could get along with it. Expensive to buy too back then. Probably could only sell it now for half of what I bought it for.

CZ 805 Bren S1. I actually do still like this rifle. It’s awesome and built like a tank. But, the lack of rail space is a detriment I can’t overlook. Also, the ergos are just a hair off and I can’t seem to run it seamlessly like I can an AR. I’ll keep it as it scratches my itch for an AK’esque rifle, but I’ll never love it like I wanted to.

Only reason Glock isn't top of my carry list is because I shoot my Sig P226, HK P7, HK USP and HK P30 more effectively. Part of it is undoubtedly growing up on SA/DA triggers and the glock trigger w/ safety is a small stumble block for me. I'm also not wild about the extremely low profile slide stop, there have been times I've missed it which makes me even slower. But if I had to, I could do damn near everything I need to do with a handgun with a G19. One of these days I'll grab myself a Glock 34 because the oversized features work better for me.

Totally agreed. I haven't shot the P7, but the rest of them... yes. I just have the Glock holsters and mags, so I'm sticking with it.

[The Dumb Gun Collector]

My understanding of this list is a gun that I THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE, not just a gun I dislike.



My example is the P30. I SHOULD like that gun. I am an HK fanboy for sure. I love the P9, P7, USP, P2000. But for some reason the P30 just doesn't click for me. Something went wrong in the mix.

Ruger Scout rifle. Thought it was an awesome concept and tried my best to convince myself that it was a great gun, especially after spending a significant amount of time and money getting a surefire flash hider properly installed on its tapered barrel. After a couple of hunting trips I finally conceded that I was an idiot for trying to replace a 30-30 lever gun with it.

I don't think the AUG trigger is bad, just different. Of course I didn't think the SCAR trigger was bad, so obviously this is very subjective. It was everything else I hated about the SCAR. Another rifle on the list of those I wanted to love but just couldn't.
