[wristtwister]

I once had a .45 colt auto that literally shot itself to pieces. It was an old service gun and had so much "slop" in the parts that it was a pain in the arse to put together. It's been so many years ago that I'm not sure, but I think it was actually put together from spare parts at the gun store.

I also had a couple of Astras back then, a 400 and a 600, and they would vapor lock all the time because I fed the wrong ammo to them, but that was back when you could buy cases of old WWII ammo for almost nothing... so you didn't mind if you blew up a $30 or $40 pistol shooting corrosive ammo. We literally washed our guns in soap and water and then oiled them up after shooting that crap through them.

Over the years, I've probably owned or possessed 50 to 75 guns of one type or another... and lots of them had quirks, but I learned how to fix them and could make them all shoot (within reason) reliably. The old commercial comes to mind that "parts is parts"... but with guns, good parts are usually reliable... and like anything mechanical, some parts wear out and need replacing.

Smith and Wessons have been my most reliable guns, and next to that, I'd say that I've had more problems with semi-autos than revolvers. Most revolvers shoot every time if they don't have broken parts.

As for POS guns... if they go boom... I like them all.

argentina made revolver, m384. 38 special. standard issue of their armed forces. shot awful groups, and i verified this, i grouped better with my other handguns. the transfer bar broke after about 50 rounds. i did not bother having it fixed, just bricked it.

[Wulf556]

Worst p.o.s. jamm-o-matic I ever had was an AMT Backup in 40s&w.
trigger was horrendous, very stiff recoil and a gun very prone to slide bite you brutally.

Baby Eagle polymer in 9mm.

Every few shots the magazine would fall out. This is a month after I got it, went back to IMI and sold quickly.

[Thumper_6119]

High-point .380 I got as a gift. I have never seen or heard about a bigger piece of trash that gun, except maybe a Stallard. It's most consistant performance was jamming. Gave as a gift (sort of a backhanded gag gift) to someone else.

[Brass Rain]

Heritage Arms Rough Rider SAA clone in .22 LR. It was my first gun--new OTD for about $120. It lasted for a while, but then the timing went off and the controlled turning of the cylinder on the hammer position used for loading went away. The wheel started to turn freely in that position. Then some part inside broke, making it completely inoperable. And even when there was nothing wrong with it it shot low and to the left... or right, I don't remember which.

Then again it probably doesn't help that it was dropped once and that I'd tried fanning with it...

Still, a Ruger wouldn't have screwed up like that.

I don't recommend them.

[transformerguru]

Excam 22 revolver it was painted, hard to eject spent cartages, but went bang everytime... glad i throught that in when I got my '03 Springfield

[black_powder_Rob]

I had an Uberti .357 cattle man that had one chamber in the cylinder that was all most all ways off. It never lined up right and as a result I would all ways have one round slip past the impact zone of the firing pin. Urrr made me so mad.:cuss: Later the sear spring broke as a result of the cylinder slipping. :fire:

got tired of repairing it and sold it.

[tattedupboy]

Hi Point C-9: My problem with this gun was not so much with FTF or FTE, but with the magazines. The magazines on this gun were always sliding out. At first I thought it was because the mag release button was always pressing up against the holster, so I filed down, which I thought would fix the problem. When that did not work, I found that a simple tug on the bottom of the mag was enough to make it come out. It got so bad that every time I carried this gun, I had to check to see if the mag was in place. When I finally purchased my Glock 22, I still kept checking the mag on that one. Of course it did not happen on that one.

Cobra: (Not sure of the model, but it was a .32 with an 8 rd mag and chrome slide); I could never get through a full mag without a FTE.

Cobray MAC-10: The damned thing just would not fire. I could maybe fire 2 or three consecutive shots before the damned thing would just stop. Total POS.

[Chic]

skyy 9mm is kinda crappy

[kle]

Keltec P11: broke firing pin twice (even with a snap-cap), broke the ejector twice, broke the slide-stop once. Sold it and went to the other end of the scale, a Beretta 92FS which has been flawless.

H&R "Sportsman" Double Action (9-shot, break-top revolver): this one may have been crap due to abuse, more than quality--the cylinder gap was too large, making shotgun-patterns at 25 FEET; the adjustable sights would not stay put, even with lock-tite; ignition wasn't reliable; ejection was sticky. Sold this one to an amateur gunsmith, who couldn't make it work and parted it out.

Aside from that, the only other gun I've ever let go was a Ruger Blackhawk Convertible .357/9mm--in 9mm it wasn't all that accurate, and I couldn't adjust the sights downward enough for 25 yards (shots still printing high). Plus, I was never that accurate with it, so off it went.

[Marlin 45 carbine]

Jennings .22lr, shoot loose after about 200 rounds. next was a S&W model# 422, shot loose after about 2000 rounds thru. big disappointment.

keltec p11 very jambolicious,kimber custom2 would not chamber 1rst rd ,tried everything finally got rid of it,taurus p22 could not get thru a mag w/o jamming, kahr pm9 jammer, i got rid of all these now i have only functional pistols...

[ArmedBear]

Ancient Star B. Still a great gun in its own right, but it's a bit old and really easy to limp-wrist. Neat old thing, looks pretty much like an early blue 1911, but without the grip safety.

[azcactus]

S&W Sigma Series .40 cal. Jammed in every way imaginable on just about every clip. Soft strike, hang fire. Total junk!

Traded it in and got a Sig P239 with night sights and was very happy.

[USMCDK]

Walther P22 jams with bulk ammo and just tried out CCI Mini mags and yup jammed there too, and the gun was clean as a whistle before firing those puppies

[EHL]

Kel tec p3AT. Hit me with brass all the time! THe magazine also fell out after 1 or 2 shots!:mad: Sent it back to Kel Tec, 10 weeks later, they sent me my gun back with a new slide and new barrel that had been polished and throated. Extractor was also changed. Gun shoots like a dream now! Would highly recommend based on my experience with this company!

The Masterpiece arms Mac 10 9mm pistol. Part broke off after 300 rounds! Sent in warranty info and they took care of me free of charge. Not too bad, just wish they'd have made more reliable parts.

[GeezerwithGuns]

Llama .22 cal auto (1911 configuration). I can't remember the model number, but this was, undoubtedly the worst gun I've ever had. I don't think I ever shot a complete magazine without at least one jam. Looked like the insides were cast out of beer cans and "finished" with a heavy rasp by a blind man. When it decided on it's own to start slam firing and burp out two or three rounds in full-auto it was time to relegate it to the trash. What a great combination of features: Both unreliable and dangerous. Pure crap. :barf:

[33-805]

AMT 380 and AMT Pocket DAO 45. The trigger actually wouldn't let me fire the 380 once in a while. Terrible take down, too. The 45 functioned about 70% of the time. The weird thing about the 45 was that I could never get those tiny grip screws to stay in and the grips shot loose after a mag or two of ammo. No amount of ANY color of Loctite had any effect on those screws. The trigger pin also walked out of the frame every other shot or so. Learned my lesson and never bought anything else by them.

[blackcash88]

If Crossbreed made a gun, then that would be it.

[Janitor]

Mine would have had to have been my Springfield 'Ultra Compact' Mil Spec. I'm pretty sure it's a function of the short barrel and not unique to Springfield, but having to have a tool around to field strip your pistol blows.

Best thing I could say about that pistol is if I only fed it ball, it often worked.

[Carl N. Brown]

High-point .380 I got as a gift. I have never seen or heard about a bigger piece of trash that gun, except maybe a Stallard.

The Hi-point was developed from the Stallard and
by all accounts the re-design corrects some of the
problems associated with the Stallard.

I have no experience with the Hi-point pistols but
I have shot my friend's Hi-point carbine and I was
impressed by its accuracy, reliability and cost-value
ratio: a lotta bang for a little bucks. He has had
that carbine for years and shows up at the range
and lets anyone who wants to fire it, sometimes
supplying the ammo just for the heck of it.

[TimboKhan]

H&R "Sportsman" Double Action (9-shot, break-top revolver): this one may have been crap due to abuse, more than quality

I'll vote for the abuse over quality arguement. The Sportsman 999 that you describe is actually my favorite .22 revolver!

[rswartsell]

I'll second the Llama 1911 experience only in .45 ACP. The frequency of jams with this thing with all loads tried convinced me that there was a problem with the mag or the gun itself. Gunsmith said no, I got out and haven't looked back. Also had a problem with 1915 P08 but that was age and a broken pin. Others may have had positive experience with Llama 1911's but I'll never chance it again. Like I said the Luger was just age and use.

[gizamo]

Any S&W revolver that was made after the introduction of MIM...

I have few problems with the MIM process, just the changes that seemed to happen at the same time period as the introduction of MIM....

S&W became a overpriced Taurus at that point. They sell guns on name branding and all of the quality of the olden days is gone......

[Fishman777]

This might surprise and upset some folks, but here it goes:

The biggest POS handgun that I've been exposed to was one that I chose not to buy after renting one. Hands down, the Smith and Wesson 617 .22lr. I was really disappointed when I rented one at the local range. I ran over 100 rounds of different types of .22 lr ammo through it before I was so disgusted that I stopped. The 617 "light-struck" at least 40% of the ammo that I tried that day. That same day, I tried a Ruger Mark II and shot from the same boxes of ammo and maybe had two or three ammo malfunctions, so I know the problem was not the ammo, but the 617. I had my heart set on getting a .22 lr revolver and really wanted the 617. I shot the Mark II, because I wanted to prove to myself that the ammo was the problem and not the 617. Seems to me that the springs were a little weak on that 617. I know that I could have bought the gun and changed the springs, but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I decided on a Ruger Single Six Hunter and have never looked back. I like the Hunter a lot. Looks great and is probably one of the most durable, reiable, and safe .22lr hadngun on the market. The Hunter is almost 46 ounces of SA stainless steel goodness!!

[Browning]

Romanian AK-74 in .223 that was made by Century.

Failures to fire, double feeds, stove pipes, failures to pick up a round from the mag after firing a round, malf's where the bullet did a nose dive straight into the ramp and then stuck there as if it was welded there are just some of the issues I dealt with on that gun. All kinds of weird problems that usually don't happen on the same gun. Tried to have it fixed twice and it did a little better, but it was never completely reliable so I sold it to a guy who thought he could fix it and I gave him a complete run down of what it was doing before I sold it to him.

Never bought anything from Century after that and I haven't had a problem since.

Coincidence? I think not.

[Gone Huntin]

jennings j-22 (safety didn't work and wass horibly inaccurate)

rg 10 (inaccurate and had to pull trigger no less than 3 times to get it to fire 1 round)

[huntershooter]

SA "Loaded". It was loaded alright.

[Borch]

Daewoo Tri-Action 9mm. Comfortable and accurate but when one of the internal pins broke (can't remeber which one, I have very limited gunsmithing knowledge) I could not get a replacement part anywhere. I had 3 gunsmiths looking for that part for 3 months and nothing. Even Daewoo themselves couldn't/wouldn't help me. They said that my gun was an old version, that the internals had been significantly updated and that particular pin was no longer used and they didn't/wouldn't support the old version anymore.

[lance22]

A nephew owned a S&W Sigma. Never seen a gun jam so much. In reality it was considered a single-shot.

[Norinco982lover]

did he just say DAEWOO? Dont they make electronics? Have you ever driven one of their cars? They are the worst cars EVER. I would never buy something manufactured by them. I had no idea they made guns...lol...my worst gun is probably our old sprinfield pump shotty. The wooden front grip broke off from the slide and its been a single shot ever since.

[jackstinson]

Beretta Tomcat .380 (weak shooting POS world class inaccuracy)
Where did you find a .380 Beretta Tomcat?

No question, the worst I own is a Raven .25 that I got for $70. Granted, I knew it was terrible when I bought it. It's more for range fun than anything else.

[test drive]

Grendel p-12 :barf:

[blackcash88]

Ah yes, the Grendels. Another one of ol' Georgie Porgie Kellgren's abominations. :rolleyes:

[Borch]

did he just say DAEWOO? That's right, Daewoo. Not only did I own a Daewoo handgun once but a TV, alarm clock and DVD player and the gun was the only thing that broke down.

The gun had one pretty cool feature, though. If you cocked the weapon you could push the hammer down so that it rested in the down position, so you could carry cocked and locked with the hammer in the down position. Then when you took up the slack on the trigger the hammer would snap back into the cocked position. It was pretty slick.

[blackcash88]

That Daewoo hammer mechanism sounds overly complicated. And...what's the point over conventional cocked and locked carry?

[russcoh]

My first gun was a Glenfield 22LR from Walmart.. retailed for about $120.00. Held up pretty well, all things considered, until magazines started falling out..
I had a Keltec SUB-2000, about the pickiest thing on ammo I've ever seen.
Finally, while I wanted to love this gun, my Ruger P95 would jam if it was the least bit dirty...

I'm really proud nobody here has talked about owning a Hi-Point.. yet

[makarovnik]

Has this been done to death or what?

[green_vaccine]

Beretta 21A Bobcat .22. Thought it would be cool with a can on it, turns out the thing won't feed reliably with any ammo.

Sig P230. Ran great with some ammo and FTF'd damn near every round with the "wrong" ammo.

Because of these guns I'll never buy another Sig or Beretta again

[James T Thomas]

A cast steel Stoeger Luger 22 LR semi auto.

It's been to the "so called" gunsmiths three times and; all three different smiths, and has not had the simple pin that the trigger pivots on replaced.

I still have it, but have no idea why I'm hanging onto it.

[Prophet]

Raven P-25. Really fun range pistol, never jams as long as you feed it brass. Aluminum reduces it to a single-shot pistol.

[Squawker]

Kel-Tec P(OS) 11- Jammed, failed to eject frequently, and rubbed blisters on my fingers when shooting. I had to wear Band-Aids on my fingers to qualify with it.

[wjh2657]

Gonna torque off all of the saint 1911 worshippers! Worst gun (most unreliable) piece I ever owned was a Colt MKIV Officers Model. Switched barrels, springs, mags, extractors (all by Colt gunsmith) Gun had FTE/FTF every other magazine. Bought it for EDC and ended up carrying 2 1/2" S&W M19.

[Megatron]

SIG Mosquito -- So many jams, failures to feed, and stovepipes. My friends tell me to sell it but it would be wrong to unload this problem to someone else.

SIG Pro 2009 -- Poor ergos and excessive muzzle flip for a 9mm. The handle of this gun is too short vertically and too long front to back. The grip is also very slippery.

[atblis]

did he just say DAEWOO? Dont they make electronics? Have you ever driven one of their cars? They are the worst cars EVER. I would never buy something manufactured by them...
They actually make basically a gas piston AR that is top notch. I wouldn't say all Daewoos are jun..... Uh never mind. Yeah they all suck. Never ever buy a Daewoo.

[Poor East Texan]

Llama Micromaxx .380 bought because it looked like a shrunken 1911.

It would not feed BALL ammo! Two different mags same difference.

Just inaccurate guns, an Astra .357 revolver and a Mini 14 SS. Both shot pattern not group.

Of course non of my centerfire guns get shot enough to break...

There was a cheap single action .22 around here that shaved lead. A buddy has it now and has not had problems??? Karma?

[owlhoot]

I've probably owned a couple hundred handguns in my time, and I've had amazingly good luck with them. The only one that was a real bummer was a Ruger MII semiauto .22. And the only rifles that were great disappointments were also Rugers, a mini14 and a No. 1. I bought my last Ruger thirty years ago. I can't imagine that I'll ever buy another.

[Al Diehl]

Of the obvious cheap ones the Clerke 1st .22 revolver, of this there is no doubt!

Of the ones that should have been built to a higher standard, well, mine was an AMT Hardballer 7in. It just would not work no matter what.:banghead:

But, (drum roll please) I had an EAA Witness .45 that would "un-safe" itself if you pulled on the trigger a few times and annoyingly it would put itself on safe while you were firing it.( That sucked during an IPSC match:scrutiny:) But, the worst part of this pistol was the customer service (or lack there of). I found someone who thought they wanted it and I obliged them.

[Radjxf]

CZ75 DA/SA

Machine marks from heck, the WORST trigger on any handgun I've ever owned, barrel fouled a bit too easily, cheesy sights.

Too bad, had great ergos, just very poor fitting and trigger components.

[CoRoMo]

Name your biggest POS handguns.

I don't name my guns.:neener:

But if I were to, my Hi Point C9 would be named "Jammy".:D

[m2steven]

Raven 25 caliber. Would exhibit every known feed,fire, and ejection problem possible with a pistol. It's stovepipes could have become and olympic event they were so lovely and intricate. First shot always fired, then the fun began.

[MCgunner]

Any gun I don't like and you do. :neener:

My vote is for RG 25 auto.

Hey, I had one and it always went bang and never jammed. I couldn't hit squat with it, not sure it even had rifling it was so inaccurate, but hey, it was small and cheap and always fired. I pulled it on a guy with a knife once and won the confrontation via trump card. It's the only handgun I've ever had to use to defend myself against a human.

So, POS as it was, I still hold the RG M26 in .25 Auto with high reverence. :D

Worst POS I've ever owned would be a tie between a RG .22 revolver (damned thing was dangerous it was so crappy) and a jammamatic Beretta .22 short "minx" with tip up barrel, single action. It usually took three hammer hits to cap any ammo I tried in it and you got a lot of jam clearing practice. Junk. I bought it thinkin', "Hell, it's a Beretta, gotta be good." :rolleyes: The RG M26 was a FAR better gun than that Beretta! It actually worked!

[Carl N. Brown]

I had it for a while, but I did not buy or own it.

Clerke First in .32 S&W (short not .32 S&W Long). The owner had fired it with .32 ACP (7.65mm Browning) which it did fire because the firing pin was long and the .32 ACP is semi-rimmed so it did not go all the way into the chamber. The die cast zinc potmetal breech face was macrostamped with the cartridge head markings and you could read the mirror image of manufacturer name and ".32 ACP" on the breechface. Thankfully the frame was way oversized for the caliber and the cylinder was thick. Still, I never fired the gun and returned it with the firing pin removed and the advice not to re-install it.

[Pax Romana]

I think this would be the Langenhan. In fact, I feel pure rage and anguish just thinking about that chunk of....well..

Let's put it this way. The Langenhan made a Lorcin (in .380) look like a Sig P210 in looks and in quality. That is all.

[Old Bull Lee]

Hello all, new to the forum. I've been lurking and browsing around but I had to post this:

I was also the owner of a Phoenix Arms HP22.

I probably put a few thousand rounds through my HP22 before encountering major problems. It would stovepipe as it got dirty, but did a pretty good job for what it cost. I replaced a recoil spring that seemed to improve performance for a while. After a few years it's gotten to the point where it won't fire more than 2 or 3 in a row without jamming.

A lot of posts here are about someone who has gotten a lemon from a normally reliable manufacturer and model (Glock, Springfield, etc.) but I had a reverse experience. I might have gotten one of the only quality pieces from that company.

[MCgunner]

I've still got a HP22. I keep it because it's pocket sized and will shoot into 3" at 25 yards off the bench. Damned few high dollar guns that are pocket size portable will do that. It defies logic it's so accurate and you can shrink that group to 2" with the 5" barrel.

It seems to eat a recoil spring every 500 rounds, but they're cheap. Buy 'em in sets of 10 if you shoot it much, LOL. I don't shoot mine too much, but it makes a good carry for the field if you want a very accurate gun in your pocket for game or such. I've hit swimming water snakes with it out to 20 yards, danged accurate.

It cracked a slide on me when I first got it. They did an improvement on the design, eliminated that weak point, and I've not had a problem since with the slide. They even sent me a spare mag for my efforts. Good service even if the gun is sorta junky. I still kinda like it, though, as an outdoor tool. It's just so danged accurate, did I mention that? If I have room or don't mind carrying IWB on my outdoor trips, usually the case, I take my little stainless Rossi kit gun. It's more accurate, yet and it's actually a decent quality little .22. I rarely use the little HP22 anymore, but I hang on to it.

[MCgunner]

Oh, btw, that HP22 recoil spring sorta reminds me of a spring on a ball point pen. Whadda crappy spring! :rolleyes:

[TRguy]

Taurus 24/7 45 when they first came out, (Not a PRO model)

wouldn't feed more than 3 or 4 rds before it jammed. No matter which mag you used.

I fully disclosed it and sold it for pennies on the dollar.

Prior to that had a Taurus PT-92; cracked slide and broken firing pin during separate incidents.

Still have a taurus PT-22 and it works fine. the rest are gone.

[kmbrman]

Colt Peacekeeper 357 mag 4" ,would spit lead and gas real bad from the BC gap ,also accuracy was awful.

[zt77]

colt python 4".....common timing problem I suppose. was easy to get of though lol

[Old Bull Lee]

MCgunner - agreed on that recoil spring. Considering how heavy the gun and the slide are, I'm surprised it's able to push it back into battery at all.

[KevininPa]

........I'm amazed at the brand names mentioned. And not so amazed at others. The lack of Hi Points is noted. I had a C-9 that I wish I'd kept for a car gun. My current POS is a Taurus 605. I purchased a blue one for the wife and it is fantastic! Great trigger, pretty damn accurate too! So I got one in stainless for myself. So far it went back to Taurus once, my 'smith did a repair, and the transfer bar just broke two days ago, so it will be going back to taurus again. All this since May. Less than 100 rounds. I look at the two 605s and can't figure out how one can be so nice and the other so worthless (except as a paperweight).

[Blind Bat]

dtalley - I just did some googling on the Rogak. It's got a pretty interesting history. Being that only 2300 of them were ever made I bet it will be a decent collector's piece one day. If you can find a collector to buy it. :)

I guess I've never had it that bad. I have a Ruger Vaquero .44 Mag and P95DC that I love, a wingmaster 12 ga, a ruger 10/22, a marlin glenfield 25 that works great when i take care of it, I had a Norinco 213 9mm, that, although it wouldn't feed quality ammo, ate all the cheap stuff I could afford (remember when wolf 9mm was like .08 per round?), and i used to have a romanian 22 training rifle that worked as intended, with the exception of the bolt falling out a couple times. so, other than that, i've been pretty luck as far as the firearms i've purchase.

an absolutely ragged out glock 23 that my cousin sold me for some quick cash when he was in a jam. i ended up selling it back to him. Couldnt hit a barn that was 5 feet in front of you with that thing, it was like the rifling was drilled out or the crown was heavily damaged.


(obligatory) Lorcin .25, it could shoot 12 inch groups, 12 inches from the target.

the biggest pos I ever owned was a DW 44 V 44 mag.I bought it in west germany at the rod & gun and after 50 rd's of 44 special it jumped time:barf:.this was in 85 when there were having serious QC problems.returning a gun overseas is a real PITA.
