I regret buying my grease gun, went to top the engine up, fucking bullets everywhere - meh I'll tell the mrs they're speed holes much like go faster stripes.
Sorry there fellas but here in the USA the only thing that's weighed in Kilos is :: the Tony Montana White powder which has king pins discuss your life over lobster and clam chowder and then there's the whole other matter.. of the Tan Brand of the old school Siclian mountains where they turned flowers into poison people inject into their veins and blow out their brains if they feel you all of a sudden starting to act strange soo watch what you say if you aren't ready to take that long long stay of the eternal lay....
@@xodika1867 yeah so long as you're not a certain kind of felon or crazy it's really not difficult. I mean I'm both haha, but I can't really hold it against them.
I know a guy who may want it. He is supposed to be returning some time soon, I keep hearing. He is a carpenter, but only speaks Aramaic, so that may be a problem.
@@joemire as a history buff i just slammed my head on my desk. ppd-40 is a copy of the kp-31. The ppsh-41 is an evolution of the ppd-40 because it took less materials to produce and a simpler firing mechanism.
my number 1 regret is the nerf recon it jams alot and has terrible range it is inctedibly hard to hit hour target because the wind blows the foam bullets away
i live in Canada and we can shoot here :) it was under British rule for a large chunk of its history and was there to back the Brits up in not one but two world wars
My grandpa used to carry m31 when he was in the war. It saved his life many times. Its old reliable and heavy, so it doesent brake, in use. Ja vittu suomenkieli on kaunista.
Yep. And I was missed as I had died owing money to two weed dealers, and one girlfriend, who happened to be an IRS auditor. Which is why I ended up in the fight in the first place. The girlfriend married one of the dope dealers and now they hold weekly seances, trying to channel me back, so they can find out where I left the money. Good luck with that.
You should make a youtube video about where you hid the money. You'd get at least 2-3 views and make even more money that you can keep hidden from them. Just don't make the video too long and use a good microphone. Ain't nobody got time for that.
I regret making my Mortar. Didn't know how to build a decent high explosive shell so ended up setting my house on fire and coming out with nothing but a tube. Still, its a good PVC pipe to hunt the local wildlife with.
As a gunsmith I have found that a lot of hang ups and no feeds for the small 22s can be completely fixed simply by diamond grit polishing the ramp. Most of the time that is where the problem is. The 30 round pistol that you have can be fixed by doing the same thing but you also need to polish the slide. Even without oil the finish comes out so slick that hang ups are usually gone. You will find that many guns no matter where they are made unless you are talking about some custom made shotguns like Lefevbre, S&S, Citori,etc. all have some rough working surfaces that are prone to a lot of friction and simply by polishing the working surfaces that actually come in contact with the rounds will fix many, many problems. All you need is a rotary tool and you can make a bad gun into a fantastic shooter.
Send your Kel-Tec back and keep sending it back until it works or Kel-Tec goes out of business. A long time ago I bought an AMT DAO Back Up .380. It both failed to feed and failed to detonate primers, I sent it back to the factory. I got it back, it detonated primers but still would not feed any make of ammo reliably, so I sent it back again. When I got it back for the second time they had finally fixed it right. Since then it has been perfectly reliable and I still have it. Don't just unload your piece of junk on some poor unknowing guy at a gun show, make the manufacturer fix it right.
+Isaac Arnold Still a bad thing, since you can have another gun which is already reliable, without having to send it to the manufacturer again and again
amen. or, only sell it w/a full rundown of issues to the buyer..keep ppl safe and also, not ripped off..us gun lovin ppl have enough probs w/the whole anti-gun & anti-self defense movement & should stick together.
+Isaac Arnold It might be something as simple as opening the forward lips of the magazine just slightly and polishing them so the round will tip up and into the feed ramp (I would polish that too). Degrease the gun completely the use Frog Lube. Keep the slide open a few days to take some tension off the spring. Then try again with some .22 Blazer or CCI Stingers. (This is why I like revolvers).
Same here with the 7x57- There is a mom and pop shop 5 min from my house that carries the Prvi stuff but I think he only keeps it in stock for me. The only other place is at the local gun shop in WV when I go back to see my parents. Such an underrated cartridge
i regret buying my spud gun, i live in ireland and bought it when i was a wee lad during the potato famine and couldn't find ammunition anywhere for the cuntin ting. thats how feckin old i am..
I have NEVER regretted "buying a gun" - any gun!!! I have only regretted SELLING a gun - Several for that matter.. Sold several Colt & Winchester's, S&W's etc' in my personal collection. Sold only due to high & emergency medical hospital bills... Otherwise - have NEVER "regretted purchasing a gun". That's all I have to say about that... Enough said, Chris Caliber
I've been a gun collector for about 50 years now. I served as a fighter pilot in the USAF, as a sheriff's deputy and federal swat commander (narcotics entry team) and retired as an airline captain licensed to carry on the flight deck. I'm a Texas native and grew up on the family's 240,000 acre cattle ranch in west Texas. I'm a master gunsmith/armorer and firearms instructor and range master. To say that guns have been a large part of my life and the lives of my children and extended family would be an understatement. My gun room holds over 400 guns, from some of the earliest black powder match lock, wheel lock, and percussion cap guns to the most modern hunting, defensive, and military hardware available today. I don't regret historic purchases, as we humans learned at least as much from our blunders as from our successes. I do see why you regret some of yours, as I have bought many of the same weapons and been terribly disappointed. Even though I knew the guns in question had severe drawbacks, I still expected a base level of functionality that just wasn't there. The only point you made that I had difficulty with was the 10 ga goose gun. My father gave me the same gun for hunting larger game birds with bird shot, and hogs as well as deer using 10 ga slugs. The recoil really isn't too bad, I generally added a slip on rubber buffer to the shoulder stock as a flannel shirt over a t shirt is as winterized as we get. As for availability, I've been hunting with a 10 ga for about 60 years, and have never found ammo to be scarce. You can always reload yourself if need be. Learning to reload your own ammo is a relaxing and rewarding experience, and may indeed become necessary over the next few years, the way things are going. I would suggest that everyone obtain a few firearms and keep them together, along with the Equipment, knowledge, and ingredients needed for making gunpowder. There is no way to know if society will indeed collapse, but the old saying about rather "have it and not need it than need it and not have it" comes to mind. But still a thoughtful and engaging article. Well done!
The surplus SKS is pretty much dried up now, or almost. That's why it's much higher today. I was lucky enough to nab a Yugo SKS for 200 few years ago. Every once a while they'll bring in some surplus firearms some countries want to get rid of, that's when they're cheapest. Right now, Arisaka WWII rifles are pretty cheap. I don't really want one, because the ammo is hard to find and they're insanely expensive.
@@gringoamigo8146 I got a mosin for 89.99 in 2012 and I have an Egyptian Maadi and Polish AKM that i built from parts kits and cost me under $400 each. Just never got into SKS I guess lol. Those arisakas are good shooting guns but for $2 per round I would pass unless its just for a wall piece or to complete a WW2 collection.
CCI STINGERS, or any high powered .22lr ammo is the only that should be used in those. Have one 28 years and just got it working reliably with the new high perf ammo sold today.
Bisk Smousk It's about quality. snowy forest is not an easy partner for a gun. It was ment to last years of use. When shooting with it the barrel deed to rise, it was advantage when it was heavy. The story teller don't understand the value that he has. '
My pmr 30 had the same problems, but I found that the bolt had a small piece of metal that stopped rounds from ejecting, I cut it off and now it works perfectly.
I was born after the Nokia 3310 was released and wished I could experience a time where we had basic phones like that. You could still own a regular phone instead of a smart phone, but these days everything requires a smart phone. Grocery stores and fast food chains don't even send ads or coupons to my home anymore. You have to download an app or look it up online these days.
@@menofwar77 yeah but the fins needed an accurate smg since they fought in wide areas of snow unlike the soviets who fought the germans mostly in close quarter cities
Real suomi kp is really good and reliable but its a shit gun now cause its made in us not in finland and saying its heavy no its not heavy people are just weak not like back in the days and suomi kp is still in use at least in reserve
@@atf2888 yes i am pissed cause a great gun gets made by some shit company and its reputation gets ruined ive shot one and got more than 1500 rounds thru it in one go with one malfunction in minus 30 degrees
i regret buying a Cetme back in 2006. Pot metal reciever, heavy trigger, and it felt like all the moving parts had a fine layer of grit not matter how much i cleaned and lubed.
What CETME version? The old ones, CETME C, is one of the best assault rifles in its time. I guess it's a newer version, the CETME L model. That was just crap and had to be replaced by the G36 in Spanish army.
I believe he is talking about the Century Arms Cetme C. When they first started making these from import kits they were not good quality. Headspacing was non-existant and the flats were not always bent correctly causing major inaccuracy. I think they are better now.
So this is my experience with TNW’s version of the M-31. My reasons for purchasing were solely on the fact that it’s the closest thing I could get to the real one without breaking the bank. I love collecting militaria and firearms with historical significance. The price factor at the time also grabbed me as well. I think I only paid about 499$ complete with one stick and one drum. I read a few reviews ,so I knew what I was in for , expecting the guns characteristics and heavy awkward weight distribution, that issue did not concern me. mags we’re cheap and readily available.The overall fit and finish was pretty good, the Parkarizing was decent and pretty much what I expected for a surplus parts gun with a new redesign blowback bolt system. The trigger pull was a bit excessive, somewhere around 12 pounds I recall. So right off the bat my first few trips to the range were frustrating and disappointing. I could barely get through 10 or 15 rounds without having some sort of problem. I tried every different brand and quality level ammo I could buy. Over the course of a month and several trips to the range...I spent a lotta hours cleaning and adjusting, but no luck, nothing but misfeeds, light primer strikes, stove pipes and failures to extract. By then the extractor was fairly beat up. So I gave up on being stubborn and finally called TNW, their customer service was fast and easy, they paid for everything and gave me a brand new fully complete bolt carrier! They claimed that it should fix the problem, they said they’ve had some issues in their early run productions. But sadly after all that, even with the new boIt, I found myself still dealing with the same bullshit.🤯 I did some more testing, cleaning etc. Made sure it was not a magazine issue, I purchased many more by this time. The new bolt seemed to maybe help a little bit but overall this gun was just a headache and not reliable enough to be range worthy. Discouraged and distracted by new projects that actually functioned the way they should. I realized a couple years have passed and that I need to do something about this problem child. Not wanting to deal with selling or returning it... it’s just too cool of a piece to let go or waste on being a wall hanger. I decided spend some more money and go with a Gunsmith. Almost every Smith I talked to in CT Connecticut wanted nothing to do with it. Either not familiar enough with it or apprehensive to the fact that it is a redesign. But I knew Mitch the owner of Gunsmithing Limited in Southport CT was the best of the best and always loves a challenge. As always he delivered went above and beyond and spent alot of time to make it run flawless! I supplied the ammo, parts and labor came to $260. Port and polished everything(even the mags), fabed custom springs and firing pin, and did a full trigger job. He got the pull down to 5 pounds. I’m super impressed this gun now runs like a flawless champ! I bring it to the range all the time! It’s always a great head turner! And I’m really glad I didn’t give up!🤘
Hmm I hate to dump any more money on my M31. I was pissed at TMW because I called them for help because but I was one week out of my 1 year warranty and they wouldn’t do anything. Mine will run 10 or so rounds then start smashing the rounds
I had two guns I deeply regret to have given away when my father was still with us. One was a over and under 16 gauge shotgun and the other a 22 gauge single barrel light game shotgun with which my father went hunting. We gave them away because the already harsh no-weapons laws here in Italy got even harsher and we couldn't afford to keep them anymore. Three years later my father passed away. Had those laws gotten unreasonably harsher now, I'd have sold a kidney rather than having a legacy of my father to disappear on me just because our bastards politicians woke up on the wrong side of the bed. AGAIN.
Suomi KP/-31 is the best SMG of WW2 in my opinion, the russians confirmed it DURING the Winter War(Finland-Soviet war), soviets got so scared that they signed a peace treaty and COPIED(converted to 7.62 x 25mm Tokarev, shortened de barrel etc etc) this Suomi to create the new PPSh-41.Even nazi Germany bought 2 or 3 thousand of these, which were very used by german soldiers over the WW2, thanks to 71 drum magazine and its 9 x 19mm caliber(so much better than MP-40).Rate of fire goes 750-900 rpm and 12" barrel as you already know.Truly a forgotten weapon.
Well I'd call the KP-31 many things but beautiful wouldn't be one of those things., in many ways the gun was like the Finnish Defense Force at the time, crude but it worked, that's probably why it jams with blanks too, it was designed to do one thing at time when Finland was short on pretty much anything but enemies so the design wasn't exactly fine tuned to work outside of the intended use.
PPSh41 being a copy of KP31 is mostly a myth KP31 however is mostly why the gun exists as it was developed because KP31 was in several ways much better weapon than the PPD-34 which was much more expensive to make and could not be fitted with a drum mag
I had a chance at getting a double barrel 10 gauge years ago. The guy selling it was looking to change to a 12 gauge. He gave me a few shells to go try it out. Not noticing he gave me T shot I blasted one off. Recoil was so harsh it startled me. 2 more shots later I was done. My shoulder felt like my arm was out of its socket.
Keltec makes a lot of stuff that looks really cool and they absolutely innovate, but first comment says it best. Reliable they are not. It really is a shame
Same bought a 320 and regret it.sights are way off shoots very low.even came with aftermarket sights..but to fix my issue i nees to change the front sight to a small one whoch are $90. Kinda regret the purchase eh what's $ 700 lol 😒
Try Hornady XTF 45 grain 22 WMR in your PMR-30. PMR-30's hate ammo below 40 grains, but the Hornady 45 Grain has run 900 rounds through mine without a hick up. If you use 33 grain and below, especially JHP's expect frequent problems. Just my experience. After you try the Hornady rounds, your buyers remorse may pass :)
Thanks for the info. I've had problems with my PMR-30 also. It's a shit load of fun to shoot tho. So the jamming is annoying but I don't regret buying it.
@@RandomNoisyBoy The gun was literally recalled. It was objectively problematic. You still blame him for that? Ridiculous. Keltec is notorious for their low quality control. Anyone who has visited their plants in Florida, like myself, can tell you about all the FOD all over their factory. All of their first runs are partial lemons. Every gun my dad has owned from them went immediately back to the shop within 3 magazines. Despite this, if you get a later production run gun, like I did with the KSG, you'll enjoy their guns. I would warn you about low temperatures, since the keltec employee I know did complain about shooting them in the winter. Might have been gun dependent.
thewerepyreking lmao I blame him for that because he probably didn’t read the manual, I own one and did everything the instruction manual did and mine runs fine? Look at the other comments on here, they read and it payed off, what’s so hard to understand?
The worst gun that I've owned was a 475 Wildey magnum pistol. No matter what you did to the loads or the gun, it rarely made it through a 7 round clip. I found myself tearing the gun down at the shooting range every time and replacing parts every couple of outings such as the 8 inch vent rib which breaks in half after the first shot when the factory installs a scope base on it. The longer barrel solves the scope problem but I could never get the scope inline with the bore so optics proved unusable. And best groups that I could get at 25 yards were 3-4 inches from a rest. The gun was built so sloppy that accuracy wasn't possible. And worst of all, the gun cost about $2000. Let's hope that Wildey stays out of business.
+Mistermax30 He was shooting blanks with multiple takes. Oh, I forgot one thing. Every time that I fired the gun the hot shell cases would eject and hit me in the face. I used to leave the range with black half moon soot marks all over my face and forehead. Without shooting glasses you can loose an eye with that gun. One time a hot case lodged itself between my face and the arm on my glasses and gave me a 1st degree burn. At one point I did get the gun to function ok. But that required using a fast burning pistol powder for a 38 special and then loading it really light so that the 475 mag was only marginally more powerful than a 45 acp. At that point it was similar to the blanks fired in Death Wish 3. The ejected shell cases didn't have the same velocity so they usually missed my face and flew by the right side of my head. I will say one good thing. The gas adjustment works great. Sadly the rest of the gun doesn't and the company blames all the problems on the customer and his or her gas adjustment setting. If they redesigned the gun and kept the gas system, then it would be an awesome pistol. I did manage to get 2000 fps from a 230 grain FMJ bullet from their 10 inch barrel without over pressurizing the round. That cartridge bulled through two level 3 bullet proof vests from 20 years ago. Today's vests would hold out better but there's not a vest out there that could stop that round unless you had a trauma plate. And even then the impact would likely be fatal or very close.
Weight was a part of keeping the recoil controllable in rock-o-la mode. If you want a lighter sub gun clone try an exhaust pipe STen or a Port Said in semi auto. But sell the unwanted and these tube guns in a transferable version are relatively cheap but remember, they were made from exhaust pipes but pay a few more $$$ and get an Armaloy or Robar finish thrown on and yes they may shine too much but they will be practically indestructible and fun to shoot.
My dessert eagle I chose the .50 Action Express variation because well I'm already buying a huge tiger striped pistol I might as well also make it fire Bullets so big they could double as a door stop, 6 stitches later I really feel that burning those $3000 I spend on it would have been a better use for my money. I know I could buy a different barrel so I could use some less ridiculous Rounds on it but......well now it's about principal.
Yeah, the .357 is a lot cheaper to feed, and a lot more practical in the long range. But all of us have been at least tempted by .50 shooting handguns at least once in our lives, and at least you went for it. Sure it was no small pocket change down the shitter, but life experience is invaluable.
Nick Bingham I ended up with 6 stitches across my forehead and a dislocated thumb....I could have done without that experience(Gun looks darn Sexy however, Like DARN Sexy)
When you buy a Soviet/Russian gun 1.it's cheap 2.ammo for it is cheap 3.you can buy it anywhere 4.it's the synonym for reliability 5.it's proven that the AK from '70s is better than most of todays modern weapons I hope i was out of some help :-)
Buy from anywhere... Ive not yet seen a "real" ak 47. I mean a real semi auto that doesnt look like a cheaper rattly copy. They are also floating right over 650$ so an ar15 is cheaper and easier to work on. Any ak from the 70s will have had almost 40 years of abuse heaped on it. If they where being made new in the usa for around 500 id buy one but i cant find them in ohio.
+Porty1119 if you think that's weird you should look up the forgotten weapons channel in UA-cam and you will be surprised on what ppl would come up with.
jlrockafella Much of that stuff actually worked, or actually represented an innovation that was later worked out into a functional weapon, but I certainly see your point as far as weird gun-shaped-objects go.
I've owned several Kel-Tecs and have yet to find fault with any of them. Have had my P3AT for over 10 years, take it out and use it most every range day, never a malfunction and quite accurate for what it is. Maybe yours was assembled on a Friday afternoon or Monday morning.
you had me up until the bps 10 gauge. I have one and love it. It will hold its value better than other gauges as there are less of them in circulation. They pattern better than the 12g 3.5''. 10g ammo is a little tougher to find but can be found locally and online(i reload for it so no need) and is about the same price as 12g 3.5'' shells. Also with the same reloading components the 10g will run a lower pressure.
@@andrewsarah2 that 3 1/2 12 gauge Browning Pump has a 12 gauge chamber and a 10 gauge barrel. It is no wonder it patterns like crap. It is almost as heavy as the 10 gauge but it doesn't pack the punch of the 10 gauge.
As time has gone by, I see that 12ga 3 1/2” are not being carried in as many stores. I’ll take my 10ga magnum any day. It has a better pattern and a lighter recoil. And 15 years down the road from now, ammo will still be available.
That sliding mechanism from Taxi Driver, was bad ass, and it's pretty cool that that tiny little pistol (I don't mean it like this gun in the video was the ACTUAL gun used in the film) was part of the classic "You talkin' to me?" scene... Great video, mate.
real Suomi smg's were known for their reliability and ACCURACY, being used by troops to hunt squirrels and what not to get little more meat, so the shitty trigger is also doing of who ever gobbled this together in USA, only real down sides being weight and being costly and time consuming to manufacture. Also, the stick mags until they were modified for "swedish k" mags, werent the best. Especially the 50 round "coffin" i hear was especially bad.-
An M14 is roughly ten or so pounds depending on the make, and some guns are heavier but also are entertaining to shoot. If you have a problem holding ten to twenty pounds with two hands, then you shouldn't own any guns to begin with.
flipmane Yes because not only is that pointless to own at this point, but it's dangerous. I've known former military personnel whom have grown up and old and can't even hold ten pound rifles anymore without shaking or dropping them. What if you dropped it while it was loaded and it went off? What if you accidentally pulled the trigger while it was in your hands and you got "tired"? If you can't hold it for more than a minute, you shouldn't have it or use it.
flipmane It's true, even my family members whom used to be in various branches of the military all agree that if you can't handle a firearm, you shouldn't have them.
Para Ordnance P16-40 Limited High cap 1911 in .40 S&W. First magazine in: Front sight broke. Eventually broke two barrel bushings and the slide release. The piece jammed every 3rd round or so. I had the thing at the factory for 5.9 of my first six months of ownership. So, I rebuilt it. Used a Briley barrel bushing. Sleeved the power extractor (what a piece of junk that thing is) channel and put in a standard extractor. Replaced the magazine springs to lessen the pressure on feeding. Replaced the recoil spring with after market. I haven't shot it in so long that I forget what lbs tension the replacement recoil spring is. The gun now does shoot like a champ but good golly! What. A. Dog. Stovepipe stovepipe stovepipe stovepipe up until I rebuilt my $1250 (in 2009 or so) 1911. It is a handsome gun tho.
That is trash american semiauto variant of the real KP-31. The KP-31 was super reliable and had a rate of fire of 900 rpm. It was also known for its accuracy and weight (4.6 kg without mag). You can find them with $20 000 price tag.
You call 500 bucks cheap??? I can't remember the last time I had 500 dollars just sitting around in my bank account. Hell I bought an old Turkish Mauser for 225 bucks and had to put it on layaway.
My first handgun was a S&W 61 like his. At first it had problems. But I traced it down to ejector issues. A little reshaping and Locktite on the screw that holds it in and now it never quits. It works perfectly with any .22 L.R. ammo. And it is easily and safely cocked with one hand! It’s a great companion to my S&W 500.😁 I love mine!
I only have 1 gun I regret and it's a Swith & Wesson model 29 6 inch stainless 44 magnum. I love revolvers my 1st gun ever was handed down from my papaw to my father then to me it was a Colt Trooper MKIII 357 magnum with a 4 inch barrel and wooden grips. Absolutely lovely gun and built like a tank. I also have a little snub nosed 38 spec. S&W Air weight or Feather Weight I would have to look at it to remember for sure. it has never been fired and still has original box so when I decided to take the classes and get my CCW I took my Colt which during shooting part of test was hilarious because when shooting at closest spot the rest of class was shooting 22's 25's I think my father may have had 2nd biggest shooting his 9mm but every time I took my shot all the pressure not only made my target sway back but also the guy to my left and right so had to wait second for target to stop moving. the guy next to me looked around and said WTF are you shooting and he saw my Colt and said Oh Dirty Harry gun. I just laughed. so after getting my permit I didn't want to carry a family heirloom with me so I got a Ruger GP100 with 3 inch barrel Huge rubber grips & was in love. I was shocked how much the rubbed grips took the kick out. So I finally decided to go and get the 44 magnum. it also had Huge grips so I thought it will have more kick but not much. Boy was 1 wrong. I bought it brand new and in 3 years it's had 3 rounds shot in it. I didn't think the arthritis in my hands would matter but I was way wrong. it sucked hard core. so it is my 1 and only regret. It's lovely gun but other than to show off it will not be shot again unless I'm getting robbed & it was close by. Then I will use it. I would have to say "Go Ahead make My Day!
I also have a S&W 29 & love shooting it. Yes, the magnums have quite a force behind it but when other folks shoot it, I start off with .44 specials & then add .44 magnums if they desire. .44 specials lessen the kick & pressure exiting.
I regret 2gun purchases I have made in my life time, one was the Winchester mod 190, a semi-auto 22 rifle that was indicated it could handle 22 shorts, longs, and long rifle. Well it could handle longs ok but was always jamming with shorts, and using long rifle there was bits of un-burnt power (or something) that was being ejected along with the casing and it would get in your face ...more a discomfort. Plus the gun wasn't a tack driver by any means, more like something just cobbled together. Second was the Erma EP-22 Luger. I always loved Lugers but couldn't afford one ...until this Erma came out, looked and functioned exactly like a Luger but shot 22LR, I got one. Within a week the firing pin broke, went back to the store and got a new one, and again with in a week of use the firing pin broke (same problem with firing pin each time). Finally got a Colt single action buntline in 22LR (WAY BETTER) ...now fast forward 10 year, I'm living in Alaska and had gotten my FFL license. I was talking to a friend about Lugers and he stated he always want one but couldn't afford one. I told him about the Erma 22LR luger and he was drooling to get one. I told him about the problems I had had with mine, but he didn't care he wanted one. A month later I had found him one and he signed for it ...again a week later the firing pin broke on that one too, same problem!
@Jones You might be right about getting a lemon. Just curious though, does your 190 have "stocky" front sight, or the finer ones with the gold bead? FYI ...My go to 22 rifle is a Rem 550, handles shorts, longs, and long rifle, and doesn't seem to mind who made them.
No problems with my PMR-30 or CMR-30 to date. I just use 40 grain or heavier rounds and have hit targets at 75 yards with the PMR where I have missed with my other handguns.
I once had a Walther PP (Not the PPK) in 22LR. The bastard would never go through a magazine without jamming. It looked well made but was totally unreliable. I don't know if the 9mm version is better (I would hope it is..) I'll never buy another Walther. As a matter of interest, I have yet to see a malfunction occur in the Artillery Luger (as long as factory ammo is used). - 100 years old and is totally dependable.
Maverick 12ga pump. This is an inexpensive Mossberg 500 clone. The gun shoots great, but the chamber gets loaded up with residue. Shells 1-15 great. 16-20 hard to close. 21-25, struggling to close slide. Not good shooting trap. Same Federal ammo in my 870, no problem for 100+ rounds. Something weird about the chamber.
Maybe it's your gun, took my Maverick 88 out fired 200 rounds out of it, was still smooth as glass afterwards. Slugs, target load, 00buck, etc it ate everything I threw at it. But I don't go out shooting alot, so take it with a grain of salt. My own complaint is my bead sight got canted because the thread stuck out into the barrel and wasn't flush, and slugs threw it out of place, but a little bit of sanding fixed that.
i love that browning .10 ga. we refer to it in my house as "The Hulling 10" it is one of my favorite shotguns we have. yeah the recoil is wicked, but it has been one of my favorites throughout the years for fowling. no shade if you don't like it. I guess it boils down to preference. Besides the 10, it was a great list and very informative. keep up the good work
Disagree with your description of the PMR-30. I've had mine for over three years. And yes, it did have feed issues. However by using the recommended CCI or Hornady ammunition that issue has gone away.
My greatest gun regret is selling my Smith & Wesson Mod 19 2.5" back in the nineties! Money was tight and I had to sell it. I have since replaced it with a really nice identical Mod 19 in 2.5"! But I paid 3 times what I got out of the first one to get another one but it's really nice and no regrets on the purchase!
Thanks for the review on the kel-tec pistol, I've been waffling over buying it. Looks like I am going to get the Ruger instead. Haven't had much luck with anything kel-tec they just are too unreliable for serious consideration.
Desert Eagle chambered in .50ae. After taking it to the range I realized I could only shoot a mag or two before my wrist felt like it had been crushed by a sledgehammer. Now it's just a 1,000 dollar show piece
Having tinkered a little with the real and original (war-time production) Suomi-kp smgs during my service time in FDF/FFG many decades ago and having shot single, burst and continuous fire (full auto) with the smg’s made in the 40’s that were then used for secondary training i must tell that i did not experience any problems whatsoever with the operation of this gun type. The ammo we used was FDF standard domestic smg 9mm ammo. Suomi-kp is quite heavy by modern standards but also relatively controllable when firing. For their age, tear and wear, the guns we used were still surprisingly accurate.
*Taurus Thunderbolt .357 Mag rifle* I really dug the look and wanted a pump action rifle with which to share my revolver ammo. But it was soon apparent that the rifle easily jammed and did not have any built-in feature to clear the clogged shell. Taurus was unable to fix it and offered me an equivalent value replacement, except I got a lot more value in the much more proven Taurus 92 pistol. I eventually got a Marlin 1894 carbine for the revolver ammo and the lever action works just fine.
Thanks for mentioning the PMR30! I've been wanting it, but don't want it to fall apart or... Not shoot the whole mag? What a feature. I'd say that there is a hole in the market for a better gun to take the PMR30's place. A gun that shoots a round as popular as a 9mm would be great, but it seems like that round hasn't been invented yet.
You have the first run of PMR 30. I waited until a couple of years ago and bought one with the non fluted barrel. With any full power load, mine runs like a champ! Best backpacking gun ever. Malfunctions are extremely rare with my piece. Accuracy is excellent>
Still...the availability of the Ammo and its expense takes away from its usefulness and versatility in comparison to a 12 Gauge chambered for 3 1/2 Inch. I got rid of mine for that very same reason. 12 Gauge still rules, and very few shooters enjoy the recoil.
Not really. 10 gauge shells hold more shot but are seldom if ever loaded to a higher velocity than a simple 12 gauge "field load". Same for "magnum" loads in a 12 gauge. More shot and lower velocity. I load all my own ammo and I can't even find a recipe for a 10 gauge load, not that I've ever really tried all that hard, that has anywhere near the velocity of my favorite, 1 oz., 12 gauge, steel shot duck load. Those suckers have such a "crack" to them that I once had a game warden try to find the "secret rifle" I was using to shoot ducks on the water! 10 gauge shotguns and 12 gauge magnum loads are for suckers.
NOpe, i'm a guy, what the colt pocket doesn't remind you of a 1911?, if you don't like those i don't know about you man, personally for a daily carry i'd opt for a tuned CZ97 if I was gonna carry a .45, or 9mm CZ75b
A MEC reloader is inexpensive, and it’s fun to reload your own shells. The expenses will end up cheap if you reload for any length of time. I have done the math on 12, 16 and 20 gauge. Even 12 gauge is reduced to less than half the cost of any retailer. The 16 and 20 gauge get get down to a quarter of their retail cost due to their expense.

As a gunsmith I have found that a lot of hang ups and no feeds for the small 22s can be completely fixed simply by diamond grit polishing the ramp. Most of the time that is where the problem is. The 30 round pistol that you have can be fixed by doing the same thing but you also need to polish the slide. Even without oil the finish comes out so slick that hang ups are usually gone. You will find that many guns no matter where they are made unless you are talking about some custom made shotguns like Lefevbre, S&S, Citori,etc. all have some rough working surfaces that are prone to a lot of friction and simply by polishing the working surfaces that actually come in contact with the rounds will fix many, many problems. All you need is a rotary tool and you can make a bad gun into a fantastic shooter.

Send your Kel-Tec back and keep sending it back until it works or Kel-Tec goes out of business. A long time ago I bought an AMT DAO Back Up .380. It both failed to feed and failed to detonate primers, I sent it back to the factory. I got it back, it detonated primers but still would not feed any make of ammo reliably, so I sent it back again. When I got it back for the second time they had finally fixed it right. Since then it has been perfectly reliable and I still have it.

I've been a gun collector for about 50 years now. I served as a fighter pilot in the USAF, as a sheriff's deputy and federal swat commander (narcotics entry team) and retired as an airline captain licensed to carry on the flight deck. I'm a Texas native and grew up on the family's 240,000 acre cattle ranch in west Texas. I'm a master gunsmith/armorer and firearms instructor and range master.
To say that guns have been a large part of my life and the lives of my children and extended family would be an understatement.
My gun room holds over 400 guns, from some of the earliest black powder match lock, wheel lock, and percussion cap guns to the most modern hunting, defensive, and military hardware available today.
I don't regret historic purchases, as we humans learned at least as much from our blunders as from our successes.
I do see why you regret some of yours, as I have bought many of the same weapons and been terribly disappointed. Even though I knew the guns in question had severe drawbacks, I still expected a base level of functionality that just wasn't there.
The only point you made that I had difficulty with was the 10 ga goose gun. My father gave me the same gun for hunting larger game birds with bird shot, and hogs as well as deer using 10 ga slugs.
The recoil really isn't too bad, I generally added a slip on rubber buffer to the shoulder stock as a flannel shirt over a t shirt is as winterized as we get.
As for availability, I've been hunting with a 10 ga for about 60 years, and have never found ammo to be scarce. You can always reload yourself if need be. Learning to reload your own ammo is a relaxing and rewarding experience, and may indeed become necessary over the next few years, the way things are going.
I would suggest that everyone obtain a few firearms and keep them together, along with the
Equipment, knowledge, and ingredients needed for making gunpowder.
There is no way to know if society will indeed collapse, but the old saying about rather "have it and not need it than need it and not have it" comes to mind.
But still a thoughtful and engaging article. Well done!

Where do they have SKS's that cheap anymore? Every one i see is at least $400
The surplus SKS is pretty much dried up now, or almost. That's why it's much higher today. I was lucky enough to nab a Yugo SKS for 200 few years ago. Every once a while they'll bring in some surplus firearms some countries want to get rid of, that's when they're cheapest. Right now, Arisaka WWII rifles are pretty cheap. I don't really want one, because the ammo is hard to find and they're insanely expensive.

i regret buying a Cetme back in 2006. Pot metal reciever, heavy trigger, and it felt like all the moving parts had a fine layer of grit not matter how much i cleaned and lubed.
What CETME version? The old ones, CETME C, is one of the best assault rifles in its time. I guess it's a newer version, the CETME L model. That was just crap and had to be replaced by the G36 in Spanish army.
I believe he is talking about the Century Arms Cetme C. When they first started making these from import kits they were not good quality. Headspacing was non-existant and the flats were not always bent correctly causing major inaccuracy. I think they are better now.
So this is my experience with TNW’s version of the M-31. My reasons for purchasing were solely on the fact that it’s the closest thing I could get to the real one without breaking the bank. I love collecting militaria and firearms with historical significance. The price factor at the time also grabbed me as well. I think I only paid about 499$ complete with one stick and one drum. I read a few reviews ,so I knew what I was in for , expecting the guns characteristics and heavy awkward weight distribution, that issue did not concern me. mags we’re cheap and readily available.The overall fit and finish was pretty good, the Parkarizing was decent and pretty much what I expected for a surplus parts gun with a new redesign blowback bolt system. The trigger pull was a bit excessive, somewhere around 12 pounds I recall.
So right off the bat my first few trips to the range were frustrating and disappointing. I could barely get through 10 or 15 rounds without having some sort of problem. I tried every different brand and quality level ammo I could buy. Over the course of a month and several trips to the range...I spent a lotta hours cleaning and adjusting, but no luck, nothing but misfeeds, light primer strikes, stove pipes and failures to extract. By then the extractor was fairly beat up. So I gave up on being stubborn and finally called TNW, their customer service was fast and easy, they paid for everything and gave me a brand new fully complete bolt carrier! They claimed that it should fix the problem, they said they’ve had some issues in their early run productions.
But sadly after all that, even with the new boIt, I found myself still dealing with the same bullshit.🤯 I did some more testing, cleaning etc. Made sure it was not a magazine issue, I purchased many more by this time. The new bolt seemed to maybe help a little bit but overall this gun was just a headache and not reliable enough to be range worthy.
Discouraged and distracted by new projects that actually functioned the way they should. I realized a couple years have passed and that I need to do something about this problem child. Not wanting to deal with selling or returning it... it’s just too cool of a piece to let go or waste on being a wall hanger. I decided spend some more money and go with a Gunsmith. Almost every Smith I talked to in CT Connecticut wanted nothing to do with it. Either not familiar enough with it or apprehensive to the fact that it is a redesign. But I knew Mitch the owner of Gunsmithing Limited in Southport CT was the best of the best and always loves a challenge. As always he delivered went above and beyond and spent alot of time to make it run flawless! I supplied the ammo, parts and labor came to $260. Port and polished everything(even the mags), fabed custom springs and firing pin, and did a full trigger job. He got the pull down to 5 pounds. I’m super impressed this gun now runs like a flawless champ! I bring it to the range all the time! It’s always a great head turner! And I’m really glad I didn’t give up!🤘
That sounds awesome! One of the coolest guns in my opinion for sure.

I had two guns I deeply regret to have given away when my father was still with us. One was a over and under 16 gauge shotgun and the other a 22 gauge single barrel light game shotgun with which my father went hunting. We gave them away because the already harsh no-weapons laws here in Italy got even harsher and we couldn't afford to keep them anymore. Three years later my father passed away. Had those laws gotten unreasonably harsher now, I'd have sold a kidney rather than having a legacy of my father to disappear on me just because our bastards politicians woke up on the wrong side of the bed. AGAIN.

Suomi KP/-31 is the best SMG of WW2 in my opinion, the russians confirmed it DURING the Winter War(Finland-Soviet war), soviets got so scared that they signed a peace treaty and COPIED(converted to 7.62 x 25mm Tokarev, shortened de barrel etc etc) this Suomi to create the new PPSh-41.Even nazi Germany bought 2 or 3 thousand of these, which were very used by german soldiers over the WW2, thanks to 71 drum magazine and its 9 x 19mm caliber(so much better than MP-40).Rate of fire goes 750-900 rpm and 12" barrel as you already know.Truly a forgotten weapon.
I agree completely, it's a beautiful weapon with live ammo. But try firing blanks, 2-3 shots and it jams. so disappointing :c
Soviets didn't copy the KP-31 to make the PPSH-41. Completely different gun.
Well I'd call the KP-31 many things but beautiful wouldn't be one of those things., in many ways the gun was like the Finnish Defense Force at the time, crude but it worked, that's probably why it jams with blanks too, it was designed to do one thing at time when Finland was short on pretty much anything but enemies so the design wasn't exactly fine tuned to work outside of the intended use.
PPSh41 being a copy of KP31 is mostly a myth
KP31 however is mostly why the gun exists as it was developed because KP31 was in several ways much better weapon than the PPD-34 which was much more expensive to make and could not be fitted with a drum mag
No it wasn't. PPD-34 was based on german MP28, technically PPD34 and KP31 are totally different. Only drum magazine was copied from Kp31.
I had a chance at getting a double barrel 10 gauge years ago. The guy selling it was looking to change to a 12 gauge. He gave me a few shells to go try it out. Not noticing he gave me T shot I blasted one off. Recoil was so harsh it startled me. 2 more shots later I was done. My shoulder felt like my arm was out of its socket.
Kel-Tec:
Innovation >>>>>>>>>>> Quality
Tell me this isn’t KT change my mind
24 others have agreed so far
And then the gen 2s do reliability
Keltec makes a lot of stuff that looks really cool and they absolutely innovate, but first comment says it best. Reliable they are not. It really is a shame
Sig P320. Bought into the hype, but it's just another plastic striker-fired gun with a bad trigger. Sold it and bought a P226.
William Wadsworth the p226 is a nice gun. I actually have the 227 and i love it
William Wadsworth I have both. Got a 320 after my 226 for the wife. We love em both
Same bought a 320 and regret it.sights are way off shoots very low.even came with aftermarket sights..but to fix my issue i nees to change the front sight to a small one whoch are $90. Kinda regret the purchase eh what's $ 700 lol 😒
Thank you for showing metric values on the scale!
Try Hornady XTF 45 grain 22 WMR in your PMR-30. PMR-30's hate ammo below 40 grains, but the Hornady 45 Grain has run 900 rounds through mine without a hick up. If you use 33 grain and below, especially JHP's expect frequent problems. Just my experience. After you try the Hornady rounds, your buyers remorse may pass :)
Ken Kaufman I had the same issue. High grain fix it. Also my hammer pin broke. Called keltec and they shipped me 3.
Thanks for the info. I've had problems with my PMR-30 also. It's a shit load of fun to shoot tho. So the jamming is annoying but I don't regret buying it.
My keltec pmr 30 and the other 6 ive shot have absolutely no problem and works amazing
Machelle Bergeman he probably never used the right ammo or loaded the gun correctly,pays off the read the manual
Or tap the mag while loading
covefefe which is basically what I said yeah
@@RandomNoisyBoy
The gun was literally recalled. It was objectively problematic. You still blame him for that? Ridiculous.
Keltec is notorious for their low quality control. Anyone who has visited their plants in Florida, like myself, can tell you about all the FOD all over their factory. All of their first runs are partial lemons. Every gun my dad has owned from them went immediately back to the shop within 3 magazines.
Despite this, if you get a later production run gun, like I did with the KSG, you'll enjoy their guns. I would warn you about low temperatures, since the keltec employee I know did complain about shooting them in the winter. Might have been gun dependent.
thewerepyreking lmao I blame him for that because he probably didn’t read the manual, I own one and did everything the instruction manual did and mine runs fine? Look at the other comments on here, they read and it payed off, what’s so hard to understand?
The worst gun that I've owned was a 475 Wildey magnum pistol. No matter what you did to the loads or the gun, it rarely made it through a 7 round clip. I found myself tearing the gun down at the shooting range every time and replacing parts every couple of outings such as the 8 inch vent rib which breaks in half after the first shot when the factory installs a scope base on it. The longer barrel solves the scope problem but I could never get the scope inline with the bore so optics proved unusable. And best groups that I could get at 25 yards were 3-4 inches from a rest. The gun was built so sloppy that accuracy wasn't possible. And worst of all, the gun cost about $2000. Let's hope that Wildey stays out of business.

+fywacia Charles Bronson didn't have too many issues with it.
+Mistermax30 He was shooting blanks with multiple takes. Oh, I forgot one thing. Every time that I fired the gun the hot shell cases would eject and hit me in the face. I used to leave the range with black half moon soot marks all over my face and forehead. Without shooting glasses you can loose an eye with that gun. One time a hot case lodged itself between my face and the arm on my glasses and gave me a 1st degree burn. At one point I did get the gun to function ok. But that required using a fast burning pistol powder for a 38 special and then loading it really light so that the 475 mag was only marginally more powerful than a 45 acp. At that point it was similar to the blanks fired in Death Wish 3. The ejected shell cases didn't have the same velocity so they usually missed my face and flew by the right side of my head. I will say one good thing. The gas adjustment works great. Sadly the rest of the gun doesn't and the company blames all the problems on the customer and his or her gas adjustment setting. If they redesigned the gun and kept the gas system, then it would be an awesome pistol. I did manage to get 2000 fps from a 230 grain FMJ bullet from their 10 inch barrel without over pressurizing the round. That cartridge bulled through two level 3 bullet proof vests from 20 years ago. Today's vests would hold out better but there's not a vest out there that could stop that round unless you had a trauma plate. And even then the impact would likely be fatal or very close.
+fywacia Why buy that gun, when you can get an abusive girlfriend for free?
+Mistermax30 The gun doesn't argue, come on now you that answer. Best regards.
I hope people understand that the abortion of a gun shown in this video has basically nothing in common with a real Suomi M/31.

+TFB TV Almost seven kilograms of a submachinegun...what is the receiver made of? Lead&horse manure alloy?
Weight was a part of keeping the recoil controllable in rock-o-la mode. If you want a lighter sub gun clone try an exhaust pipe STen or a Port Said in semi auto. But sell the unwanted and these tube guns in a transferable version are relatively cheap but remember, they were made from exhaust pipes but pay a few more $$$ and get an Armaloy or Robar finish thrown on and yes they may shine too much but they will be practically indestructible and fun to shoot.
I wholeheartedly concur on the PMR30. Loved the ergos, loved the hi capacity, but I never made it through a mag of ANYTHING without a jam.
I have a TNW M-31. It is heavy but I like the weight. It has never jammed or failed to fire though I have heard a lot of them do.
My dessert eagle I chose the .50 Action Express variation because well I'm already buying a huge tiger striped pistol I might as well also make it fire Bullets so big they could double as a door stop, 6 stitches later I really feel that burning those $3000 I spend on it would have been a better use for my money. I know I could buy a different barrel so I could use some less ridiculous Rounds on it but......well now it's about principal.
Yeah, the .357 is a lot cheaper to feed, and a lot more practical in the long range. But all of us have been at least tempted by .50 shooting handguns at least once in our lives, and at least you went for it. Sure it was no small pocket change down the shitter, but life experience is invaluable.
Nick Bingham I ended up with 6 stitches across my forehead and a dislocated thumb....I could have done without that experience(Gun looks darn Sexy however, Like DARN Sexy)

When you buy a Soviet/Russian gun
1.it's cheap
2.ammo for it is cheap
3.you can buy it anywhere
4.it's the synonym for reliability
5.it's proven that the AK from '70s is better than most of todays modern weapons
I hope i was out of some help :-)
Buy from anywhere... Ive not yet seen a "real" ak 47. I mean a real semi auto that doesnt look like a cheaper rattly copy. They are also floating right over 650$ so an ar15 is cheaper and easier to work on. Any ak from the 70s will have had almost 40 years of abuse heaped on it. If they where being made new in the usa for around 500 id buy one but i cant find them in ohio.
At least you didn't buy the USFA Zip Gun
I have never figured out the point of that...vaguely gun-shaped object.
+Porty1119 if you think that's weird you should look up the forgotten weapons channel in UA-cam and you will be surprised on what ppl would come up with.
jlrockafella Much of that stuff actually worked, or actually represented an innovation that was later worked out into a functional weapon, but I certainly see your point as far as weird gun-shaped-objects go.
The only way you could get it to work is to drown it in chainsaw oil. XD
Doug Donnelly should be boiled in oil for discontinuing the Single Action revolver to make that piece of junk, the Zip Gun.
I've owned several Kel-Tecs and have yet to find fault with any of them. Have had my P3AT for over 10 years, take it out and use it most every range day, never a malfunction and quite accurate for what it is. Maybe yours was assembled on a Friday afternoon or Monday morning.
I will never regret my purchase of my mosin rifle love it
Why do i regret mine :(, exsniper tula
That bolt is too infuriating for me to justify purchasing one
I'm with you on that man. It's the first surplus rifle I ever bought and I have fun hunting with it.
Heres a better ri... nyet! Rifle is fine
Couldn't agree more it's a cheap reliable and accurate gun
I tend to be careful about what I buy, so no buyer's remorse here. But I do have a laundry list of guns I regret NOT buying! 😔
We don't talk about that...
you had me up until the bps 10 gauge. I have one and love it. It will hold its value better than other gauges as there are less of them in circulation. They pattern better than the 12g 3.5''. 10g ammo is a little tougher to find but can be found locally and online(i reload for it so no need) and is about the same price as 12g 3.5'' shells. Also with the same reloading components the 10g will run a lower pressure.
I love mine too and wouldn't trade it for any 12. Thankfully I believe the caliber is here to stay.
Have the ducks unlimited version and it hauls ass! And since we can't use lead shot anymore anything I hit now plays dead.
@@andrewsarah2 that 3 1/2 12 gauge Browning Pump has a 12 gauge chamber and a 10 gauge barrel. It is no wonder it patterns like crap. It is almost as heavy as the 10 gauge but it doesn't pack the punch of the 10 gauge.
I saw a guy with a semi auto ten. He was probably 300 pounds or the gun would have knocked him on his ass.
As time has gone by, I see that 12ga 3 1/2”
are not being carried in as many stores. I’ll take my 10ga magnum any day. It has a better pattern and a lighter recoil. And 15 years down the road from now, ammo will still be available.
That sliding mechanism from Taxi Driver, was bad ass, and it's pretty cool that that tiny little pistol (I don't mean it like this gun in the video was the ACTUAL gun used in the film) was part of the classic "You talkin' to me?" scene...
Great video, mate.
real Suomi smg's were known for their reliability and ACCURACY, being used by troops to hunt squirrels and what not to get little more meat, so the shitty trigger is also doing of who ever gobbled this together in USA, only real down sides being weight and being costly and time consuming to manufacture. Also, the stick mags until they were modified for "swedish k" mags, werent the best. Especially the 50 round "coffin" i hear was especially bad.-
real Suomi is heavy but reliable. I have seen some semiversions in "traditional practical" carbine competitions. Never a malfunction.
An M14 is roughly ten or so pounds depending on the make, and some guns are heavier but also are entertaining to shoot. If you have a problem holding ten to twenty pounds with two hands, then you shouldn't own any guns to begin with.
agreed
agreed
flipmane Yes because not only is that pointless to own at this point, but it's dangerous. I've known former military personnel whom have grown up and old and can't even hold ten pound rifles anymore without shaking or dropping them. What if you dropped it while it was loaded and it went off? What if you accidentally pulled the trigger while it was in your hands and you got "tired"?
If you can't hold it for more than a minute, you shouldn't have it or use it.
flipmane If you can't hold it, you're danger to yourself and everyone around you.
flipmane It's true, even my family members whom used to be in various branches of the military all agree that if you can't handle a firearm, you shouldn't have them.

Para Ordnance P16-40 Limited High cap 1911 in .40 S&W. First magazine in: Front sight broke. Eventually broke two barrel bushings and the slide release. The piece jammed every 3rd round or so. I had the thing at the factory for 5.9 of my first six months of ownership. So, I rebuilt it. Used a Briley barrel bushing. Sleeved the power extractor (what a piece of junk that thing is) channel and put in a standard extractor. Replaced the magazine springs to lessen the pressure on feeding. Replaced the recoil spring with after market. I haven't shot it in so long that I forget what lbs tension the replacement recoil spring is. The gun now does shoot like a champ but good golly! What. A. Dog. Stovepipe stovepipe stovepipe stovepipe up until I rebuilt my $1250 (in 2009 or so) 1911. It is a handsome gun tho.
Ok that M31 is super cool
That is trash american semiauto variant of the real KP-31. The KP-31 was super reliable and had a rate of fire of 900 rpm. It was also known for its accuracy and weight (4.6 kg without mag). You can find them with $20 000 price tag.

You should pick up another PMR-30. They've fixed them as far as I can tell. Mine works great.
what did they fix up cuz...the pmr is kinda one of my bucket list guns...I feel like less capacity would be the key
My first handgun was a S&W 61 like his. At first it had problems. But I traced it down to ejector issues. A little reshaping and Locktite on the screw that holds it in and now it never quits. It works perfectly with any .22 L.R. ammo. And it is easily and safely cocked with one hand! It’s a great companion to my S&W 500.😁 I love mine!
I only have 1 gun I regret and it's a Swith & Wesson model 29 6 inch stainless 44 magnum. I love revolvers my 1st gun ever was handed down from my papaw to my father then to me it was a Colt Trooper MKIII 357 magnum with a 4 inch barrel and wooden grips. Absolutely lovely gun and built like a tank. I also have a little snub nosed 38 spec. S&W Air weight or Feather Weight I would have to look at it to remember for sure. it has never been fired and still has original box so when I decided to take the classes and get my CCW I took my Colt which during shooting part of test was hilarious because when shooting at closest spot the rest of class was shooting 22's 25's I think my father may have had 2nd biggest shooting his 9mm but every time I took my shot all the pressure not only made my target sway back but also the guy to my left and right so had to wait second for target to stop moving. the guy next to me looked around and said WTF are you shooting and he saw my Colt and said Oh Dirty Harry gun. I just laughed. so after getting my permit I didn't want to carry a family heirloom with me so I got a Ruger GP100 with 3 inch barrel Huge rubber grips & was in love. I was shocked how much the rubbed grips took the kick out. So I finally decided to go and get the 44 magnum. it also had Huge grips so I thought it will have more kick but not much. Boy was 1 wrong. I bought it brand new and in 3 years it's had 3 rounds shot in it. I didn't think the arthritis in my hands would matter but I was way wrong. it sucked hard core. so it is my 1 and only regret. It's lovely gun but other than to show off it will not be shot again unless I'm getting robbed & it was close by. Then I will use it. I would have to say "Go Ahead make My Day!
I also have a S&W 29 & love shooting it. Yes, the magnums have quite a force behind it but when other folks shoot it, I start off with .44 specials & then add .44 magnums if they desire. .44 specials lessen the kick & pressure exiting.
Silverado4x4 I got the same type of Colt trooper as you do it is a great revolver.
Shawn Darling I think it's a shame Colt stopped making Revolvers because they made some really nice ones.

I regret 2gun purchases I have made in my life time, one was the Winchester mod 190, a semi-auto 22 rifle that was indicated it could handle 22 shorts, longs, and long rifle. Well it could handle longs ok but was always jamming with shorts, and using long rifle there was bits of un-burnt power (or something) that was being ejected along with the casing and it would get in your face ...more a discomfort. Plus the gun wasn't a tack driver by any means, more like something just cobbled together.
Second was the Erma EP-22 Luger. I always loved Lugers but couldn't afford one ...until this Erma came out, looked and functioned exactly like a Luger but shot 22LR, I got one. Within a week the firing pin broke, went back to the store and got a new one, and again with in a week of use the firing pin broke (same problem with firing pin each time). Finally got a Colt single action buntline in 22LR (WAY BETTER) ...now fast forward 10 year, I'm living in Alaska and had gotten my FFL license. I was talking to a friend about Lugers and he stated he always want one but couldn't afford one. I told him about the Erma 22LR luger and he was drooling to get one. I told him about the problems I had had with mine, but he didn't care he wanted one. A month later I had found him one and he signed for it ...again a week later the firing pin broke on that one too, same problem!
@Jones You might be right about getting a lemon. Just curious though, does your 190 have "stocky" front sight, or the finer ones with the gold bead? FYI ...My go to 22 rifle is a Rem 550, handles shorts, longs, and long rifle, and doesn't seem to mind who made them.
@@einsteineinstein7782 NO, you got the just of my story, ERMA EP-22 Lugers have sucky firing pins!
No problems with my PMR-30 or CMR-30 to date. I just use 40 grain or heavier rounds and have hit targets at 75 yards with the PMR where I have missed with my other handguns.
I once had a Walther PP (Not the PPK) in 22LR. The bastard would never go through a magazine without jamming. It looked well made but was totally unreliable. I don't know if the 9mm version is better (I would hope it is..) I'll never buy another Walther.
As a matter of interest, I have yet to see a malfunction occur in the Artillery Luger (as long as factory ammo is used). - 100 years old and is totally dependable.
I actually took my concealed carry courses using a PMR-30 I was lucky my gun didn't fail....some of my class mates however lmaoooo
Maverick 12ga pump. This is an inexpensive Mossberg 500 clone. The gun shoots great, but the chamber gets loaded up with residue.
Shells 1-15 great.
16-20 hard to close.
21-25, struggling to close slide.
Not good shooting trap.
Same Federal ammo in my 870, no problem for 100+ rounds.
Something weird about the chamber.
Kevin Moore really ! Fuck I was set on pulling the trigger on it.
Maybe it's your gun, took my Maverick 88 out fired 200 rounds out of it, was still smooth as glass afterwards. Slugs, target load, 00buck, etc it ate everything I threw at it. But I don't go out shooting alot, so take it with a grain of salt. My own complaint is my bead sight got canted because the thread stuck out into the barrel and wasn't flush, and slugs threw it out of place, but a little bit of sanding fixed that.
i love that browning .10 ga. we refer to it in my house as "The Hulling 10" it is one of my favorite shotguns we have. yeah the recoil is wicked, but it has been one of my favorites throughout the years for fowling. no shade if you don't like it. I guess it boils down to preference. Besides the 10, it was a great list and very informative. keep up the good work
Disagree with your description of the PMR-30. I've had mine for over three years. And yes, it did have feed issues. However by using the recommended CCI or Hornady ammunition that issue has gone away.
Why don't you send the gun back to kel-tec
Kel-tec has great concepts but I have trouble buying firearms with Phillip's screws
My greatest gun regret is selling my Smith & Wesson Mod 19 2.5" back in the nineties! Money was tight and I had to sell it. I have since replaced it with a really nice identical Mod 19 in 2.5"! But I paid 3 times what I got out of the first one to get another one but it's really nice and no regrets on the purchase!
Thanks for the review on the kel-tec pistol, I've been waffling over buying it. Looks like I am going to get the Ruger instead. Haven't had much luck with anything kel-tec they just are too unreliable for serious consideration.

Having tinkered a little with the real and original (war-time production) Suomi-kp smgs during my service time in FDF/FFG many decades ago and having shot single, burst and continuous fire (full auto) with the smg’s made in the 40’s that were then used for secondary training i must tell that i did not experience any problems whatsoever with the operation of this gun type. The ammo we used was FDF standard domestic smg 9mm ammo. Suomi-kp is quite heavy by modern standards but also relatively controllable when firing. For their age, tear and wear, the guns we used were still surprisingly accurate.

*Taurus Thunderbolt .357 Mag rifle* I really dug the look and wanted a pump action rifle with which to share my revolver ammo. But it was soon apparent that the rifle easily jammed and did not have any built-in feature to clear the clogged shell. Taurus was unable to fix it and offered me an equivalent value replacement, except I got a lot more value in the much more proven Taurus 92 pistol. I eventually got a Marlin 1894 carbine for the revolver ammo and the lever action works just fine.
nice presentation - thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for mentioning the PMR30! I've been wanting it, but don't want it to fall apart or... Not shoot the whole mag? What a feature.
I'd say that there is a hole in the market for a better gun to take the PMR30's place. A gun that shoots a round as popular as a 9mm would be great, but it seems like that round hasn't been invented yet.

You have the first run of PMR 30. I waited until a couple of years ago and bought one with the non fluted barrel. With any full power load, mine runs like a champ! Best backpacking gun ever. Malfunctions are extremely rare with my piece. Accuracy is excellent>
Yeah but 10 gauge 3.5" hits harder than ANY 12
Still...the availability of the Ammo and its expense takes away from its usefulness and versatility in comparison to a 12 Gauge chambered for 3 1/2 Inch. I got rid of mine for that very same reason. 12 Gauge still rules, and very few shooters enjoy the recoil.
8aleph I honestly want to get a double barrel 10 gauge and saw the barrels down to 18.5 or cut it down to the for end
8aleph I almost bought a 10-gauge for $99 last year, but decided against it when I saw how much ammunition cost.
Not really. 10 gauge shells hold more shot but are seldom if ever loaded to a higher velocity than a simple 12 gauge "field load". Same for "magnum" loads in a 12 gauge. More shot and lower velocity.
I load all my own ammo and I can't even find a recipe for a 10 gauge load, not that I've ever really tried all that hard, that has anywhere near the velocity of my favorite, 1 oz., 12 gauge, steel shot duck load. Those suckers have such a "crack" to them that I once had a game warden try to find the "secret rifle" I was using to shoot ducks on the water! 10 gauge shotguns and 12 gauge magnum loads are for suckers.

A MEC reloader is inexpensive, and it’s fun to reload your own shells. The expenses will end up cheap if you reload for any length of time. I have done the math on 12, 16 and 20 gauge. Even 12 gauge is reduced to less than half the cost of any retailer. The 16 and 20 gauge get get down to a quarter of their retail cost due to their expense.
