Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main reasons Alex C regrets buying the Smith & Wesson Model 61 Escort?

Alex C regrets buying the Smith & Wesson Model 61 Escort primarily due to its extreme unreliability. He notes that it rarely completes a full 5-round magazine without experiencing a malfunction, making it impractical despite its iconic appearance.

Why is the TNW Suomi M31 conversion considered a regrettable purchase?

The TNW Suomi M31 conversion is regretted due to its excessive weight, weighing nearly 14 pounds with a drum magazine. Additionally, it features a heavy trigger pull and is noted to be less reliable than the original open-bolt submachine gun design.

What issues plague the Kel-Tec PMR-30, leading to regret?

Regret over the Kel-Tec PMR-30 stems from its fragile sights, frequent malfunctions, and a specific recall related to 'keyholing' bullets. Despite its high capacity (.22 WMR, 30 rounds), these reliability and durability issues make it a poor choice for many.

What makes the Browning BPS 10 Gauge a regrettable purchase?

The Browning BPS 10 Gauge is regretted not due to its build quality, but its obsolescence. The primary issue is the difficulty and high cost of finding 10-gauge ammunition, especially when a 12-gauge magnum shotgun can offer similar performance with readily available and cheaper shells.
