go back to sleep john boy..
Sorry, but Glocks are not overrated. Like anything else they won't fit/work for everyone, but they are a fantastic compromise of function and quality at an easily obtainable price point. If they cost Sig or HK money they would be overrated. Sig is overrated by the way.
Overrated:
#1 most overrated: Taurus Judge (too bulky, bad accuracy, shotshells spread excessively and have low velocity).
#2 Ruger M77 (factory trigger is awful)
#3 Ruger MKI / MKII/ MK III or .22/45 (bad triggers, mediocre accuracy even when scoped and shot from benchrest, very difficult to field-strip and reassemble).
#4 pump shotguns for home defense (they're good, but not as good as many people think. Most only hold 5+1 rounds. They do require skillful pointing or aiming, AND they don't make bad guys poop their drawers and quiver in fear from the sound of a round being cycled into the chamber.)
#5 the 1911. (It's good, but logically it should not be as loved and widely-carried as it is. There are better choices for defensive handguns on the market now. More reliable, holding more ammo, with trigger systems that don't require the use of a manual thumb safety when carrying chamber-loaded.)
and
Taylor Swift (although she's about as qualified to be President as Donald Trump is (pop culture celebrity and successful in her business ventures) and is a lot more likeable).

Mosin Nagant, yeah I know your $69 sniper rifle is rare and all because they only produced millions of them.
Another vote for Keltec!
Any AK style rifle.
Whoever mentioned 10-22's and Glocks in this thread should be banned immediately.

But they never hit anybody with them!View attachment 614287 View attachment 614288
I'd defriend you on facebook for that one.... if we were friends
But seriously it was my first rifle ever! small as an m1 carbine with the bite of an AR and disassembles like an M-14 plus the A Team used them!
Bet some were shot in the elbow!
As others have previously stated, kimbers r highly overrated in my opinion. I disagree with 300 blackout/whisper/warrior carbine/fireball, it's an awesome round if used for what it was intended for. Short barreled and suppressed! On a side note, I do think the springfield RO is one of the best bang for the bucks for a 1911 especially because it's a forged frame and slide gun. Then again so is taurus's pt1911's. Lol.
Well I see that most of the guns that I own are overrated. The only one that I didn't see listed is the Browning Buckmark 22lr. I guess it is a good thing that I didn't pay full price for any of them. Maybe I can get some of my money back out of them if I decide to sell, lol.
