Which company made the silliest guns?

[ilikegunspdx]

Saw this ad. If it were $200 it would deserve three Emojis. But at $1100+? It deserves



Plus that $1169 doesn't count the hospital bills after you blow the tip of your thumb off.

This is one I had not seen before today.

King Jay and Sideshow Bob's favorite weapon, if they could just get rid of that high capacity magazine.

History would appear to show us that the sub compact handguns we take for granted today were indeed more difficult to manufacture than were would have thought. The Semmerling is a pretty cool gun. I've handled one but not shot one. One that was similar but different was the 357Mag COP. I think it was made by American Derringer. Spendy in its day but four rounds of 357Mag on board.

I had a chance to shoot one of those when I worked in a gunshop 40 years ago. One of our customers would bring his guns in to be cleaned after he went shooting (I guess his billable time was more valuable to him) At the time I didn't hate it, as I recall the instructions said for 'rapid fire' was to use a loose off hand grip and to wrap your thumb over the top of the slide when you fired it and the recoil would help cycle the slide. I don't recall if that actually worked, just remember laughing like a +/- 20 year old about the discomfort from recoil in my off hand thumb.
What was really fun was his C.O.P. that he carried with Glaser Safety Slugs Recoil in the C.O.P. wasn't bad at all, but the muzzle blast would shake your fillings loose!

Sort of surprised Red Jacket Firearms hasn't been mentioned yet

You can only touch their guns if they are under 18 and related to you?

One manufacturer seems to have been missed. Well, feather your hair, and be kind and rewind your mind to the 80s:

I just sold one of those recently! Had to ship it out of state to be auctioned off. I never shot it myself, but someone, somewhere, wanted it BADLY!

Beretta U22 Neos has to be somewhere on the list?

Started in bakersfield, CA, an area known for meth haha. A design I never understood:

Chiappa, that rhino is just silly.

I have a Rhino and I love it. Very smooth-shooting for a .357 magnum.

Looks like the idiots at standard manufacturing are at it again. Just ridiculously shoddy crap gun. Look at that "barrel" and the tons of pock marks in the dogbubblegum cast "metal", jagged edges on what should be smooth round holes, filed off flat spots, burrs sticking out, etc. It's embarrassingly bad. Reminds me of a middle school casting/shop project. Contrast this piece of crap with the outstanding workmanship of little NAA revolvers. Just no comparison. Complete and utter Lorcin-like garbage. Really reminds me of rohm quality it's so bad.

Click photos to enlarge.



And this poorly made piece of die cast garbage is $409 street price!!! They must be bubbleguming nuts! A swing out cylinder NAA revolver (swings out just like a big DA revolver) cost me $288 (probably more now).
