Seecamp .32. I had to have one and waited a long time to get one. I don't remember how long the wait was. It was a jamomatic. I only shot the prescribed .32 Silvertips through it. I sold it to quickly, telling the new owner what my thoughts were.

My worst revolver was my first gun, period. It was a Taurus, bought on the advice of a family friend who was a retired NYPD patrol cop. Timing was a mile off, and the barrel was messed up too, it ripped jackets off bullets, and leaded up to the point that you had to chisel the lead out with a brass rod after only six shots.
Off to FL it went, they fixed the timing, but they said the barrel was "Normal". Called them back, sent it to FL again, and they again denied there was a problem with the gun. When I got it back, the barrel was leaded to hell. I sold it to some goofball who basically was ok with it leading as long as it fired six times. Runners up in revolvers were my Ruger Security Six that seemed to have timing issues that were never fixed. My S&W 686 with the "cheese grater" grips was fine, but those grips had to dealt with. Sandpaper and varnish to the rescue!

In semiautos, the worst was my most expensive gun I ever bought until the last couple of years, a Colt Combat Commander, in SS. Junk. Never should have gone out the factory door. Chatter marks, rough everything. Like the Taurus, it went back twice, and as far as I could tell, the only thing they did to it was scratch it up. I had a local 1911 guy mess with it, and he got it to almost trustworthy status, as long as it was run soaking wet. Runners up include the AMT Harballer Longslide, and the AMT Back-up 45 DAO, which had a trigger that exceeded every pull gauge we put on it.Shoot a mag, your trigger finger was dead tired. Another **** was a Detonics 1911. Those guns and friend's 1911's that had problems but cost as much as a decent used car did back then turned me off them to the point I have never bought another one. My .45 ACP guns include a Sig P220, SAR K2 45, and an S&W 625-1.

in high school, some friends invited me to go shotgunning, about 1964, so bought a siingle shot 12 gage, break action, from Monkey Wards. Every time I shot it, the action would open and flip the side lock lever down, giving me a bloody finger. I didn't keep it long, can't remember where it went.

But in late '69, after ROTC, posted to Schweinfurt, Germany, bought a gorgeous Rem 870 Wingmaster, back when they had beautiful blueing, nice wood, slick action. Later had screw-in Briley chokes put in it. Used it some for Kansas pheasant hunting. Still have it. Think I paid 60 bucks or so at the Post Rod and Gun Club. Plus a HP too, for $66.

All the best, SF VET

I once owned a Norinco 213 with both 9mm and 7.62x25 barrels. This should have been reliable pistol as it's a proven design and China had been making copies of Russian arms for decades. The problem was the retro designed safety. Almost every time I fired the pistol the safety would engage.

Sig p320 compact 9mm after they shortened the barrel from a 3.9 to 3.6" length . That barrel had the same chamber lack of support issues as the new X5 pistols had with NOOOO support from sig at least short term . Be tween that and the soft recall aka "update " I sold the sig3.9" compact 40sw I was carrying at the time . Never will I own any firearm under the SIG name again .

When the the Mossberg SSi-One came out I bought one...it was classier looking than a Handi-Rifle but not nearly as expensive as a Ruger No. 1. Boy was I fooled, mine was in 30-06; it would not eject spent cartridges, it wasn't very accurate, it was very heavy and clunky...I sent it back to Mossberg twice to fix the ejection issue, they never did fix it....Someone offered me what I paid for it and I took their offer.
