Description
Some revolvers you buy. Some you should run from. Walk into any gun shop with the wrong wheelgun and the owner will slide it right back across the counter like it's radioactive. In this video we count down 12 revolvers that bleed value the second you buy them — from pot-metal plinkers to a best-selling carry gun that a single hairline crack turns into a $0 paperweight you can't legally repair.
These guns aren't losers because they can't shoot. They lose money for everything around the shooting — cheap alloy frames, lawsuits and recalls, flooded used markets, a hated little lock, and names the internet refuses to forgive. If you're about to buy a used revolver — or trade one in — watch this first. It might save you from throwing your money away.
