Sig Mosquito. Wouldn't cycle an entire magazine of anything. Ruger Single Six Hunter 17HMR. Nice gun....way too loud!
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

I don't miss my Smith & Wesson model 28 "the highway patrol man". I also don't miss my Marlin 336C in 30-30.
If you reload, there's no such thing as an obsolete cartridge.
Once you render an opinion, you open yourself up to criticism.

Ruger Redhawks 7.5 and 5.5.-accurate but too heavy to tote all day in the mountains. Gen 1 Glock 17. Ruger Blackhawk 41 Mag 4.5 all blast no accuracy. T series Browning Hi-Power was a biter.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

LOL, let's see if I can offend some of you.
Benelli Nova - shotguns should have some soul, Novas don't.
SP101 - great pistols and I know many here love them, but I just couldn't.
Win 70 in .338 Win Mag. - just got tired of the beating at the bench.
Springfield M1A - The Army ROTC guys got to march with M14's, we had M1's, I envied them. I bought the M1A after they came out and loved it, shot it a bunch. Then a few years ago I realized I hadn't shot it in a decade so I took it for another spin; the thrill was gone. A friend asked me why I was selling it, I told him it was like running into an old girlfriend that you had parted with amicably, you remembered the attraction, but weren't interested in renewing the relationship.

Okie John Too many great ones in there (that you'll never miss) for me to respect your opinion regarding handguns.

Springfield 1911
That's about it. Only sold a handful of guns, but that pos 1911 is the only one I wouldn't take back.

I did get rid of some of the cheap junky guns I had as a young kid and adult that were the German made Colts and some lousy autos.
However My biggest laments are The ones that I sold that I now wish I held on to dearly. Some of them I have search the gun show for years to find another one just like the one I had but no luck.
My lesson learned was buy wisely and after much study and never sell.......unless it so darn inaccurate that you can hit stuff. I still have one of the inaccurate shooters that I cant move on and sell and it's a Ruger Bearcat.

Ruger 10/22. Highly overrated. AMT .380 DAO. Obsolete, and .380. 2.5" S&W model 19. I shoot the 3" model 60 much better. Winchester 94. Craptastic. Star Firestar. Great little pistol for its time, now - not so much.

Great gun, except I shoot left hand and the recoil caused my trigger finger to depress the magazine release

This thread is very telling.
A lot of junk listed. I can understand getting rid of those.
But there are a lot of good guns listed here. I do not think it is the gun that is at fault.
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

Very interesting lists.. I note a couple of them: Two were rifles in .300WM due to recoil.. I can't help but agree.. I have a M70 Classic SS/walnut LH in .300 WM and I'd rather shoot a 375HH than that one.. The other interesting thing is the many posters who got rid of a ton of Rugers. That surprised me. Continue please..

Ruger M77/22 MkIIKMZVLRFGWSDVY (probably missing a few letters Ruger wanted to add) Heavy Barrel Varmint model in.22WMR- shoots patterns, not groups. Expensive, heavy, and inaccurate. Still have the POS.
Winchester 94 Timber Carbine in .444 Marlin. Literally could not be sighted in at 50 yards. BNIB it could not hit a washing machine. Finally re- crowned the muzzle and it now shoots very well, in the hands of the 2nd owner! SCHEISSE!
No handguns have disappointed...yet.
