Remington 1858 black powder, specifically a low-quality reproduction I paid about 100 dollars for. I should have spent more and gotten the Pietta.

Who made the repo you bought? IMHO Pietta is pretty bottom of the barrel compared to the Uberti BUT you know what they say about opinions.
I actually really dig mine... it was my first real handgun and it still holds a place in my heart. I can actually say I've taken game with it. Made a 20 yard shot at a squirrel with it... Don't ask... I was young and less smart... but I still remember how surprised I was when I nailed it.

I knew I wasn't going to like the Ruger Redhawk 7.5" I bought for IHMSA matches back in 1982 but, I got it anyway. I shot one match with it and immediately went back to my S&W Model 57. Trigger sucked. Sights were smaller and not nearly as precise as S&W's.
Mossberg 930 SPX. Firing pin literally shattered within 60-70 rounds of 00 buck defense loads. Sent it back to Mossberg and after they fixed it, I was glad to get rid of it.
6" S&W 629-10 purchased in 2016. Its issues had issues. Cylinder would lock-up so tight after three rounds of factory 240gr 44 Magnum ammo that I had to hit the cylinder with a mallet to get it open. 4x trips back to S&W for warranty repairs didn't help.

Why?
I picked up an AMT BackUp for a good price off Gun Broker.
I wanted one back when they came out.
It is heavy, especially compared to my poly frame carry pistols.

May I ask what you did not like about the scar 17s? I was thinking of picking one up, if I ran across one at a decent price.
Bought a Springfield XDS .45. Was actually pretty comfortable to shoot and I shot it really well. Sent it back for the recall and when I got it back the trigger was complete garbage. Never shot it well after that and ended up selling it. Good riddance.

Sorry about that. I was actually replying regarding a CX4 Storm.

Marlin 336 30-30. Was young and dumb, sold it for cheap in like new condition. It had a scope, maybe a Bushnell. It probably was "JM" stamped as well (around year 2000 production).
But that was before I knew about that sort of thing. Now I have a Winchester Model 94 in equivalent condition, so all is well.

For what it's worth the 94 is a much nicer looking gun and maybe stronger.
Colt Mustang Pocketlite. Couldn't hit a torso sized target with it at 7 yards. Neither could my neighbor. Eventually traded it at the LGS.
And I would also like to add pistol brace firearms; I would rather have it as an SBR or SBR + can.
