What turned out to be the worst gun you've ever owned ???

[Vulcan Bob]

A new AMT Hardballer, enough said!

 

[midkansmithfan]

Walther PK/380 (new) Accuracy/Extraction/Feeding problems
Walther (Interarms) PPK/S380 Extractor and Safety fall apart after a few rounds (Repaired three times but problems came back quickly)
Colt Government Model 380 Extraction and feeding problems.
Problem Free and absolutely Reliable: Smith and Wesson revolvers

AMT Backup .380 without question. On paper, the perfect pocket pistol. In reality, the worst ***, poor shooting, unreliable, hunk of pot metal.

Mine too ... of course that one only cost me $300. I have a colt pony that I paid half again that much for that seems have trouble feeding a whole magazine of ammunition. Or because of the size of my hands likes to drop the magazine about halfway through.

 

[bigchuck83]

Had a few bad ones, Bought several different Taurus pistols and none were worth keeping. Llama mini max 45acp, wouldn't even run fmj ammo.

 

[JFA]

I've been fortunate and never bought a lemon. Of course I only buy guns with great reputations acquired over many decades.

Same here. The only 1911 that I couldn't ever get to run one magazine through without a malfunction. The sad thing is that a few years after getting rid of it I was dumb enough to buy another and when through the same experience.

The only gun I ever sold...

Ruger Mini 30, bought it used at LGS

Could bearly keep rounds on paper, the every so often the bolt jump out of the oprod and jam up the whole thing. It was not fun getting the oprod out and back in when it jumped apart.

Traded it back to the LGS for something else...

 

[karrrhu3]

Chiappa M9-22. It was not a gun, it was pure horror carved from zinc.

It was SO bad I did not sell it, I had it destroyed. No need to pass on misery.

 

[karrrhu3]

Beretta 84FS Cheetah. Expensive lemon that would never get through a full mag without jamming. Even with ball ammo and several different factory mags.

Weird - it has a reputation of being fantasticly reliable. Mine works reliably with 4 different mags and with all ammo that fits in the said mags.

 

[Big Stick]

S&W Sigma .40.... couldn't put 10 rounds in a 12" target at 7 yds if shot from a vise, and would drop the mag if you put 2 hands on the grip, and held it with more than a limp grip......

Sold it to a friend, who lost it in a home burglary....

Yes sir. That's one of the reasons I bought it. Every gun rag I ever read said the Beretta 84/85 was the most reliable platform for the cartridge. I think every manufacturer may let a lemon out once in a while. If I bought another one it would probably work just fine but I'm kind of soured on Berettas and the .380 cartridge.

 

[MaxS]

Walther PPKS. It was so bad I've refused to have anything to do with another Walther. Couldn't fire an entire magazine without jamming. Tried different magazines, different ammo, different shooters. And with the few rounds I did manage to get off, it bit my hand something terrible.

 

[BuckeyeS&W]

Sig Mosquito by far my worst. What a PIA ammo sensitive piece of junk. My Kimber Custom II was not a good one either both are gone and replaced with a S&W 617 and a pair of Colt 1911's.

 

[aznav]

Actually this little beauty. A Colt 1991 A1. It was a police confiscated weapon and sold to the LGS where, with my dumb luck bought it. I had it refinished, new springs, new grips and checked out and it would not run a full magazine of six rounds without jamming. Myself and two gunsmiths couldn't figure it out.

Send it to Frank Glenn of Phoenix. A wizard.

 

[shottist]

A Wildey .45 magnum. Would eject empties straight up and they would fall back into the ejection port and rechamber with the case backwards. I am NOT making this up. Had to take a rod with me to poke the backwards case out of the chamber. Would do this at least once per magazine

 

[model17]

Ruger P-85 mkII. Well built questionable accuracy

 

[jmace57]

A Walther P-1 for me. I took it to the range 3 times and parts fell off it every time. I had wanted one (or a P-38) for a long time. Soured me on them.

 

[walkin' trails]

My worst was a toss-up between a Walther PPK/S and a Colt stainless enhanced Commander. The Walther was the most inaccurate, and the Colt just would not run thru any magazine without a couple of jams. I would have listed my M&P 9c, but S&W seems to have gotten it right after the second trip back to the factory.

FYI - Sonny first carried a Bren 10, but later switched to the 645.

 

[KarmannGhia]

SW9M I never got thru a full mag w/o a malfunction.
