My CZ 75B is an all steel auto and one of the better handguns that I have ever owned. The only CZ handgun I have owned.

Beretta Storm carbine (never had a auto pistol that had issues). I saved up money for this gun and it would not even keep mags in it. I had the adaptor and set up for Beretta 92 mags and even with factory high cap mags in it they would not stay in the gun, they would not seat at all. I brought the gun back to the shop and there was actually a Beretta rep in the shop. The guy told me that the problem was the mag release, which was a wire job. With a high cap the extra weight of the rounds made it fall out or not seat. So the rep told me to take the release out of the gun and bend it so it would fit. I told him I should not have to be fixing anything on a brand new gun. It didn't stay long.

For the record, I did not say all CZ-75's were plastic, just the model I owned.

Beretta's are usually good guns, but you are right about their service. I know of 2 large guns shops who have threatened to stop carrying Beretta's because of the Customer Service issues. I had an experience similar to yours as well on a PX-4. No more Beretta's for me.

Springfield 1911 and a Colt 1911, could never get either to cycle reliably sold them and have never looked at the 1911 again. The M16a1 that was forced down my throat while in the Marine Corps was another hunk-o-junk, it jammed at least once per magazine, I hear after 40 years and 4 revisions I hear they finally got it where it might work.

First one was a 9mm Bersa, I sent it back two times for the same problem and the same problem recurred after each repair in about 100 rounds...sad part was it was very accurate....but just undependable! The second was a .22 Sig skeeter....nothing but problems replaced with a Ruger.
Kel-Tec P3AT, FTE's went back to factory twice, never would extract reliably.
This was one of the early ones with the same slide as the P32. What worked fine for a .32 just wouldn't handle a .380 I guess. Everyone with the later slightly larger/heavier slide models says they work fine.

Seecamp. Total piece of junk. IF it fired it would keyhole 90% of the time with the ONLY ammo they designed it to work with, Silvertips.
An Interarms PPK/S that I traded for a 2" barrel 15-3. That was one of the best days of my life. 
A 1961 MGA on the car side. You could slam the door and knock the timing out of whack.

92 Ford Taurus....what a lemon!
Thanks I was waiting for someone to realize this was an auto post. Duh. Mine was a '57 Willys Overland, first and worst but it did get me back and forth to College in Roanoke, VA. Originally 3 on the tree, converted to the floor. Maroon, what a maroon it was...

Sig Mosquito and the .22 unit on the 220. They would not feed any ammo reliably.
Saw one post mention the Walther P22. To fix feed problem with the P22 do not swap types of ammo without giving the chamber a good scrubbing with a wire brush.

Honda CRX Si - Had to drive an hour one way to work and bought it for the gas mileage. While it was a fun car to drive - after an hour my back, hips, and legs hurt till lunch time. I used to dread the ride home
What?
Oh - Sorry.

The M-16 series has a design problem. They have tight tolerances, maybe tighter than they should be for a standard-issue service rifle, and because of the direct impingement gas system, they rapidly foul themselves. I had better luck with mine, but after a few magazines, that forward assist button at the back of the receiver was a necessity, not gingerbread. Also seemed not at all tolerant of sand or mud, which is kind of a drag when you have to get about by crawling. There's a lot of stuff to like about them. They're relatively lightweight. They're very accurate. They can be very easily stripped. Good firepower until they start crudding up. But not a perfect service rifle at all.

For me it would be a S&W built Walther PPK/S,
a true "jam-o-matic" if there ever was one.
I used to keep the PPK/S in the glovebox of the
worst automobile I ever owned, a 1983 Chevette.
It was a match made in heaven.......
Knowing that the OP's post dealt with guns I still felt I better hedge
my bets so I went back and edited my original post to fit the dual theme.
Kel Tec P40. Horrible recoil and would never feed reliably.

Two S&W 22A's. Bought several years apart from each other. Neither were reliable. Guess I'm a slow learner.
