The gun that jammed the most is?

*&# Sigma SW9M compact

Biggest POS I have ever held in my hand! Bar none!

It had to be babied to load. Had to pull the slide back and then manually move it forward to load. If you just racked the slide it would jamb EVERY TIME. It wouldn't shoot a full mag without jambing at least twice when I first bought it. I discovered the crimp at the top of the the mag was barbed. Polished it out and then it would shoot a full mag without jambing unless the dust was blowing.

Still couldn't load the dang thing without it screwing up.

Traded it off for a Taurus 85 and a Llama Mircromax.
 
I know it seems impossible but for me it was a brand new H&K USP/C in 9mm. The thing jammed with every mag and threw brass right in my face. Even after I got it back the problem was less pronounced but not up to reasonable standards. But, if the price of USP's went down I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. Every company, including my faves Glock and Sig do send out a lemon now and then.
 
Norinco's copy of the Tokagypt. Began self-destructing from the first shot. In less than one box of ammo, it reached the point of jamming so badly that tools were needed to clear it on every shot.
 
I would have to say that it was a Colt 1911A1 that Ihad about 10years ago. It would stave off the jams for two or three clips with ball ammo, but put a JHP in the clip and you a had an instant FTF drill!

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.

The scary thing is, you might be on to something there. Some people convert them to 10mm Auto and shoot hot loads out of them all day long with no problems. Meanwhile, one gun magazine review (not famously critical, those) had to admit that the frame WARPED (!!!) on theirs during the gun test.

:what:

Naturally, they still recommended the gun. :barf:
 
AMT Govt model 1911A1. Nice features, and quite accurate, but never dependable. Complained to AMT, they wanted it shipped back to them and they'd make it right. Got it back and it was...................better. That wasn't good enough. I wanted it to be totally dependable. Sold it in favor of my beloved Colt after growing tired of the fight.
 
p series

I guess this is one place the ruger p series doesn't have anybody saying bad things about it.
 
The biggest POS I had the displeasure of owning was the Taurus PT-111 9mm Millenium. Major problems FTF, FTE, stovepipes, jam jam jam jam.
The second one was a Colt Pony Pocketlite .380. Stovepipes and jams. Local Smith and factory still couldn't fix it. :banghead:
 
Taurus PT-22: Never made it through one whole magazine without a FTF. Tried lots of different ammo before trading it on a Kel-Tec P32.
 
Up until just a few years ago, I was a revolver guy, so I don't have a lot of experience with auto's.

That said, a PPK/S I had years back had to be the worst. Even a trip to the factory didn't cure it.
 
My brother bought my mom and AMT Backup in .380 a while back. I'm convinced he's trying to knock her off in a roundabout way ;) .

That thing has literally NEVER fired 2 rounds in a row without some sort of malfunction drill being run. That being said, it also hasn't reached it's breakin point fo 300 rnds or so. Too much work.

:D
 
HATE TO ADMIT IT

But a few million years ago I bought FOUR Sterlings, both 25 and 22, trying to get one that would function.

Nope.

BTW, after break-in, my PT22 has been flawless with W-W Super-X.
 
i've owned 7 kimbers from CC to CDP to Elclipse.
every series 2 failed to return completely to battery some of the time. i have had zero problems from any series 1 and i carry one now exclusivly.
but i'm sure the series 2 problems have been worked out since last month, huh?
 
TooTech,

Made in America Walther TPH in .22.

Heh. My gunsmith says that stands for Toilet Paper Handgun, so named for its durability (or lack thereof). ;)

(He also calls ParaOrdnance "Painted Ordnance" for the lovely finish on their base level guns...)
 
Grendel P-30

The feedramp isn't what you call smooth.

Difficult to get a full mag(30) thru withou a 10 or 15 jams.
