The dumbest reason you ever bought a particular firearm?

[RVTECH]

Shot a friends Sub 2k and just 'had' to have one - then I found (and bought one) and learned all of it's shortcomings - sold it quickly - and for a small profit!

Had five dolla in my pocket. sue me
Winchester pumpgun.

 

[308]

Found a .45acp mag on the bone pile. Bought a Kimber Ultra Carry II to go with it.

 

[Certaindeaf]

Starving children in ditches are starving. So I bought a p-210 for the boot in the head win.

I have a single box of 32acp I bought accidentally (wrong stack)
But recently I've been thinking if I bout a keltec 32 I could shoot it!
I swear it's well thought through

A zombie breathed and whatcha gone do?

I bought a rock island 22TCM for the oddity and fireball and bought a steyer m9 for the odd sights.

Both purchases were great! RI TCM is awesome and the steyer m9's awkward sights turned out to work shockingly amazing and the fastest sights to aquire the target and get a round off. Then if you want to shoot for accuracy those sights worked like magic when lined up right but excels in fast acquisition.

Oh, and a replica black powder of Cullen Bohannons on the show "He'll on Wheels" that was on AMC (best period piece ever for the civil war era).. southern revolver called the griswold.

 

[Who The F R U]

Cause a Dewat 20mm auto cannon was only $2k

Bought a Glock 40MOS because it was %35 below Blue Label pricing. Hey, a sale is a sale.....Christmas in August!

Glox are a good buy at 2x list price my friend...can't put a price on perfection

 

[Certaindeaf]

because three magic beans are equal to a cow
duh

 

[waglockfan]

Hemm and Hawwed on a 34MOS.....I thought it strange that it was the same sale price as the 40MOS. Walked into the store after a couple days to get it, but it was too late.
GONE

Wait.... you mean there's a dumb reason for buying a firearm ? ?? According to my wife EVERY firearm I have bought was for a dumb reason...but I digress.....

I bought a Rossi lever action in .357 because I *might* get into cowboy action shooting someday... I already have the other guns I would need... obviously bought for other "dumb" reasons.

 

[wired]

I had one box of 7.62X39 so I had to buy an SKS to shoot it with.

 

[DB is Here]

I've never made a bad buy IMO, but I've sold some that I regret. Yep...I'm that guy.

 

[11Charlie]

Never purchased I fire arm that I regret or for a stupid reason, don't believe there is one. dumbest thing I've done is lend a 30-30 lever action to a friend for hunting season and never got it back.

 

[marty8587]

I was given a few boxes of 223 and a couple mini 14 mags. I stopped in the gun room Clackamas and was looking at the used racks... you know the rest of the story!

I've had a Kel-Tec P32 since September of 2006 and love it. I know the manufacturer is, at times, poo-pooed, and the .32 isn't exactly a barn burner, but for a ultra light, ultra thin carry piece for when nothing else will work, dang, it has been nice. I've had zero problems with it over the past decade. Both the stubby 7-round and extended 10-round magazines have worked flawlessly. I like the latter, not just because it has a few more rounds on tap, but because I have big mitts. Do I consider it an ultimate carry piece? No, but as mentioned, in some attire, it just works.

Underwood now makes a <broken link removed> " round in 32 ACP

 

[Ralgha]

I bought two ARs because Hillary, Burdick, and Prozanski (among others) said I shouldn't have one. Ok, I guess that's not too dumb of a reason.

Not trying to hijack, but I just looked at Keltec's P32 and under accessories for it, they offer a one round extension for the 7 shot magazine that might have more "Pinky purchase" for $15.
