Just as the title says, are there any guns that you regret buying?  Any firearms that didn't quite live up to your expectations? 

Were there any for you?

I usually think out my purchases waaayyyy too much and love everything I've gotten so far.

None as of yet.  I'm pretty methodical in researching my purchases.  I think reading up on reviews is half the fun. 

So far, none that I regret. 

I have made impulse buys on a few occasions, and it's been hit or miss whether those particular guns make it into regular rotation at the shooting range.  When the day comes (soon!) that I simply don't have space for another acquisition, a couple of those will be first on the "sell" list.  Not that I regret buying them, but if I'm not using them, what's the point?

I have made myself a list of "I wants" and "Reasonable I wants."  I now try to confine my impulse buys to when I come across one of those particular guns.  So far, so good!

I don't regret buying any of my guns, I only spend money on quality.
However, I am kind of bummed that I bought my Saiga 7.62x39 when I did.
It is an awesome gun and I couldn't pass up the offer when it was made.
...but that money was being saved for my Benelli SuperNova and Maadi.
...tear...

I had bought a Chinese made SKS on a college budget a long time ago.  I hated it because it wasn't an AR or an AK, not pistol grip, and came with a wood stock.  It was long and heavy.  It came with a 5 shot attached mag and not the higher capacity detachable mags.  I've learned to like it though.  Every time it gets to the range, it gets oohs and aahs from the others for the beautiful wood stock.  It's accurate enough and has never jammed.  Although heavy, it doesn't kick like a mule.  Another plus is that similar ones on gunbroker are now going for double what i paid for.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine....

While I don't regret buying it, at least not yet, I just had my first "bad" purchase.  I picked up a consignment gun, a S&W 622 from Young Guns.  They made me sign the standard "this is a used gun, it may be broken, we don't know" agreement, which is pretty standard on the purchase of a used gun.  The majority of my inventory has been purchased used, and that's never been an issue.

Well, I guess my luck had to break sometime.  My semi-auto model 622 is actually a single-shot.  I won't bore you with details, but after a disappointing first day at the range and the subsequent teardown and inspection, I can see that the gun's previous owner buggered it all up.  Parts of the action are missing, and parts are damaged.  I don't know if the person was just an idiot, or was trying to do customization.  Whoever they are, I hope they end up with debilitating stomach cramps and uncontrollable diarrhea. 

I think I can order replacement parts and have a decent chance of making the gun properly operational for under $30.  First, I'm going to call S&W and see what they'd charge.  I'd hate to get $30 in only to find out that the moron had goobered up something else I hadn't found yet!

I can't conceive of the mindset of a person who would render a firearm inoperable and then put it up for sale (at the high end of the gun's value, I might add) without any sort of cautionary note to the next owner.  I would like to say two words to this individual.  I'll wait until we meet, but for those who are wondering, the words are NOT "happy birthday."

Ouch, Tom. I hope you can get it back in working condition.

I once thought of buying a used gun from Young Guns. Hmmm...now that I think about it, it might have been a 622 or 422 about 6-7 months back for either $199 or $299. I ended up not getting it because of their "this is a used gun, it may be broken, we don't know" spiel.
