The gun that jammed the most is?

[makdaddy03]

Mine was a used Kimber Compact II. That had to be the worst $600 ever spent. Thank God for Springfield.

Seecamp, believe it or not. It was in the first 150 rounds though.

 

[Schuey2002]

I haven't had a "lemon" yet... Maybe I need to purchase a Lorcin..

 

[Sactown]

Mine was a Kimber Polymer Stainless. Wouldn't go through a mag without locking back with rounds still in magazine. Called Kimber, they replaced the slide lock and the problem only occurs now when the gun is really really dirty.

XD40.....1 Stove Pipe and 1 FTF during break in process. Good to go now.

Ruger MkII. Lots of stove pipes when dirty. I have over 5K rounds through the little guy. Runs best when somewhat clean!

Weirdest?

I had a (don't laugh) Hi-Point 9mm Compact that wouldn't feed ball to save its life, but actually ran okay with 124gr and lighter JHPs. I think the problem was an overlong feed ramp.

 

[Mike Irwin]

Just about anything I ever handled by AMT.

 

[BerettaNut92]

Kimber Custom Stainless Target II. More than all my 8 or so other guns combined.

 

[10-Ring]

A little Beretta 22lr. That thing jammed ALL THE TIME!

 

[Sean Smith]

Para-Ordinance P14-45. The only outright lemon I've ever owned... wouldn't work with anything, no matter what. I think about 30 critical dimensions on that thing were way out of spec. Sold it for scrap parts to somebody that didn't mind that it didn't work.

 

[Tamara]

Sean,

We used to have a theory that ParaOrd saved all their junk parts over the course of the week and built them into guns on Friday. Paras generally work, but when they make a lemon, it is usually well and truly screwed up.

Anything by lorcin, davis, bryco or jennings.
The lifespan and break in period on these guns overlap by about 50 rounds.


Here is my impression of a Davis 380

Click, rack, click bang rack, shake, pull out mag, shake, rack
rack hold mag in with weak hand, click, rack, bang, SPROING,
crack, clink, :banghead:

 

[Dave Markowitz]

My biggest jammer was a CZ-85. It got traded off towards a 182-series Mini-14.

 

[Kruzr]

Springfiled Armory Ultra-Compact V10. Complete POS. SA had it nearly 6 weeks after it was a week old and still couldn't fix it and didn't offer to replace it. Did a reliabiltiy job and sold it.

 

[gbelleh]

Never had a true lemon, but the guns that have jammed the most for me are:

Glock 36
Walther P99

Both seem to have overcome their initial problems, hopefully.

It's funny that no gun that I've paid $209 or less for has ever jammed, ever.

 

[Soap]

My current Springfield was a jam-o-matic until I got it fixed. Turns out that Springfield didn't make the breech face large enough...oops

 

[Watch-Six]

Two different AMT Backups. Yuck. I wanted one that worked so badly I got talked into buying a second one. The most suprising lemon was a brand new Colt Officers ACP 45. It jammed hand feeding the first round of hard ball and then went down hill from there. What a dog. Watch-Six

 

[TooTech]

Made in America Walther TPH in .22.

Had it less than a month and took a bath trading it away. Couldn't bring myself to fib when asked if it was reliable.

 

[mparris71]

Personally a Ruger MII 22/45. Called ruger they send a new bolt, hasn't jammed since.
Dad and Brother both bought baby desert eagles in .45 ACP. Both are complete lemons.

 

[firestar]

Taurus PT-22
Jennings J-22

If we were talking rifles also then the Remington Nylon 77 was pretty bad. It was accurate but it was a jam-o-matic. I can't believe that people are collecting these things.

 

[makdaddy03]

Tamara had a Hi Point?

 

[SouthpawShootr]

Golan .40 whatevertheheckitwas. Didn't really expect much out of this gun, I paid $250 for it and 4 magazines. It jammed about every other magazine. I'll eventually get a gunsmith to polish and throat (conservative), but I don't feel like dumping much more into this.

 

[Navy joe]

Chuck Daly 1911 clone. Believe at your own risk people who say they have gotten better. JUNK GUN!!!!

 

[George Hill]

Springfield 1911A1 "Loaded Model". First 5000 rounds it was great. Then all the sudden it was ALWAYS jamming. Sent it in and it came back great for about 500 rounds then all the sudden it was jamming all the time again.

 

[Blackhawk]

Some surprising answers...!

Tamara, got pics of your Hi-Point?
