The gun that jammed the most is?

Actual jams is with a Paraordnance P13, you have to be very regular with replacing the magazine springs. Then everything works fine.
Actual POS is a Kimber Series II Ultra CDP. Although bad sear, bad safeties, loose parts, and jammed mag release can't be really counted as a "jam".

Charles Daly Field Grade 1911A1. It would FTE, FTF, and absolutely refused to go back into battery about 75% of the time.
I got rid of it and, the dummy I am, went back and got another one just like it! Never had a FTE, FTF, or failure to go back into battery . . . go figure.

Jennings J 22 that a friend owned (not me, honest). We knew that you could rely on getting at least three rounds in any mag to fire, but you never knew which three. The first round would always go off, and sometimes two or three in a row would fire, but somewhere along the line it would jam. One time I got a whole mag through it without any problems and the gun's owner and I just looked at each other in disbelief. It was later stolen and the owner is probably better off for it.

Just a note here
Just a note here, HK's, glock's, Smith's, Colt, and just about every other type of gun maker, but no one has mentioned a Siq.

Auto Ordnance 1911, it would jam at least once, most of the time twice on every magazine. Wouldn't even feed ball. Also tried Wilson mags, no luck. 
Beretta 21A
Some years back I wanted a mouse gun for the summer. This was back when Seecamps came only in .25 and were just about impossible to get. I read reviews of the little Berettas and and eventually got two 21A models. They jammed on everything and I tried a lot of solutions I heard about or read about I had a friend who had an earlier model 20 which was flawless but I could never seem to find one since they were dropped. One 21A is still in the closet the other long gone.

Auto Ordnance M1911 in 10mm. The gun would only fire the round in the chamber. I tried different magazines and recoil spring combinations and never could get it to work.
Absolute trash...............

Browning Model 1922 .32 cal
I got it from my dad, who got it from a Marine buddy in 1954. Dad had never shot it or cleaned/oiled it. Used to jam on all but the first shot.
Spent some money on a rebuild kit (internal parts only). Cost $35. Sweet shooter now.

HK USP 40.
I have watched them jam in mass for over 8 years at our dept range. Not sure why, since all attempts to fix them by HK proved fruitless. Oh well.
I kept my Glock, since it worked for me.

Helwan Brigadier, 9mm.
Worst POS I ever wasted money on. I still have it, because I would have to pay someone to take it.

Jennings Bryco 380. Honestly a hunk o crap. I actually out some time into it and played with the feed lips and slicked up the front of the follower and polished the ramp. Last time I shot it (with a friend that was looking for a small 380) it only failed to fire twice out of about 100 rounds. Before that, it generally could not make it through a magazine without a failure.
For guns that are generally considered quality guns, I've had two failures ever with a KelTec P32 (I've owned three, two with no failures ever) and two failures with a Springfield Loaded (I've owned about six, five without failures) I also had a Springfield 9mm Loaded pistol that had maybe five failures ever. All from the same magazine. The other magazine and the replacement for the bad one never ever failed so I don't really attribute that to the gun. I also had a early 90s Colt 1991 that wouldn't feed any HP ammo that I tried and probably had 10-15 failures with ball ammo out of 400 rounds. I have another early 90s 1991 that has been excellent and is one of my very favotite pistols of all time.
I have a friend that has two guns, a Ruger 45 and a Hi Point 9mm. The Ruger has had maybe two or three, the Hi Point has never failed. I think it's largely the luck of the draw. I've owned several many pistols and have very very few that were lemons,

My first autoloader, a Ruger P97DC .45ACP, was problematic: nearly every other magazine had a FTF, FTE, or stovepipe, regardless of the brand of ammo.

CZ Kadet .22 conversion... at least until I'd run 250 rounds through it, after which it became more reliable.

After reading this post I have come to the conclusion there are good and bad regardless of money spent. For me it would be a Arcus 93 or 94 (dont remember which) Sent it off to a good smith and he cut me a deal on a reliability package since I had a HiPower in for a major rebuild. Got it back and it would shoot hollow point +P's all day long. Std power ball would be an instant FTF. I sold it with that knowledge shared to someone who wanted a house gun.
Had a Taurus PT111 that was flawless for about 1000 rounds then I got spooked by all of the bad press and traded it off, had a Llama 380 that was hell for reliable, just not accurate. Also have a Sterling 22lr that will shoot reliably only with mini mags and 5 rounds in the mag. Any thing else jams.

Before I broke her in, my Kahr MK9. After that AOK, except for certain long nose bullets. Silvertips work best.
4th Horseman,
In all fairness; I was at the range today and I saw a guy with a SIG P228 with a dreaded double feed. Don't know what loads he was using or if he takes care of his gun.
I've shot @ 6000 thousand jam-free rounds through various SIG's (P229,P220, P228, and P226) in my life so far and just put another 100 (50 hollowpoints/50 FMJ) in my P226 9mm today. Flawless.

Mine was...is a Llama Minimax. Never really a feed or jamming problem as much as it was an ejection problem. I shoot left handed and when I first bought it (on sale at pet gundealer for $300 new) I didn't get a chance to shoot it much. When I finally started taking it out and shooting it like all new pistols, I would get the occasional FTF, or a stovepipe.
No .... the most aggravating problem was ejection. I was constantly getting beaned on the top of the head, my forehead, and face with spent brass. Of course being left-handed only exacerbated the problem. It got so bad that when I squeezed the trigger I would duck my head to dodge brass I could see flying toward me in slo-mo or arcing down on the top of my head. A typical firing session would be BANG BANG (DUCK) TINK TINK. Talk about excessive flinch! The problem finally solved itsself after about 500-800 rounds and a change of springs, it's very reliable now. I haven't been hit with brass for about three years now.

Its been so long ...
A Charter Arms .22 semi, I cant remember the model, but it was Mauser brommhandle style handgun. I actually really liked it and would like to find another. It was a fun plinker, but it would jam at the slightest hint of dirt.
Anybody have one???? Want to sell it?
