Your experience vs Internet lore

[Hasselhoss]

If you were to believe everything you read on gun forums there are several guns or brands that would instantly come to mind as being junk. Based on Internet lore you would thin that Some guns will simply explode or melt when you pull the trigger.

What are some of the guns you've heard crap about that you somehow ended up with and actually liked?

For me, the Taurus TCP has been my biggest surprise. I got mine as the "extra gun" in lieu of money in a multi gun deal. With all of the Taurus hate out there I was surprised that I actually liked it better than my LCP. It fit my hand better, had a much nicer trigger pull, locked open on an empty mag and cost $100 less.

Taurus does get hated on. I don't own them but my FIL's Taurus pistols have all functioned flawlessly.

Yep Kimber, Taurus, RIA, and any home aka "Franken" AR that wasnt built by one of the oh so great AR builders of the ODT

Keltec P32. I trust it as much as my G19

All my Franken AR's run great and eat steel with no issue.

357sig does not have some crazy muzzle flip

I've been pleased with all my Taurus Firearms (Pt111 pro, 970, 940)

Myth: 22 suppressors are not that hard to clean without the dip or ultrasonic.

Metal frame Ruger P-series. Comfortable and reliable shooters.

Shoots where you want it do , trigger complaints really were nothing, no FTF , inexpensive, won't cry if you ding it up like you would with your safe queen looks better than a Hi-Point and a weighs a lot less.
