Which gun fit your hand but shot poorly?

I was just wondering if people out there have had the same experiences as me. I have held guns that fit my hand like they were made for me but I just couldn't shoot them as well as they should have been shot. I have had the oposite thing happen as well, a gun that didn't feel all that great in my hand but I shot it very well.
I hate to admit it but I never shot my Kahr E9 as well as I think it was capable of being shot but it fit my hand like a glove.

My "old" Walther P99.. This gun fit my hand like a glove yet, it just wasn't all that accurate in my mitts. :D

Yeah, Sig 226 in 9MM from the first year of production (stamped slide). Never could shoot that gun with any precision, but I mostly blame the post and dot sights that I never really warmed up to. I know for a fact that one night while I slept they took molds of my hands to use as the basis for the ergonomics of the gun.

USP45C fits my hand good and I shoot it OK.
Beretta fits my hand not so well but I learned to manipulate the safety, releases etc, and I seem to shoot it the best :confused:

P-38 felt great in hand but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from the inside..

Felt very nice, but I always shoot low and to the left in S/A and D/A... well, Its all over the target, more like a pattern than groups.
I always liked the way it looks though, especially the Inox. It's just not made for me.:( :(

First ruger P-95 i owned would not group tighter than 4-5" offhand at 30' with any ammo.After getting it back from ruger(8 weeks) with a letter stating it was shooter error i traded it off.The 2nd one i bought last year would shoot groups half the size.

CZ's and clones. Great grips + awful triggers = mediocre groups.

Hoenestly tho, I think it was more use error than a problem w/ the firearm.:scrutiny:

I agree. First generation P226. Fit well but i couldn't hit
a damn thing. Switched to the then new SIG P220 American .45
and did very well.
Of course, my CZ .45 shoots like a dream:)

Taurus PT-908: Fit well, but shooting anything lighter than 147gr. FMJ would look like a shotgun pattern. :banghead:

My friends Ruger P-series pistol. Forget which one. Felt great, pointed great, just couldnt hit with it. The only Ruger I can say this about.
