What is the most unreliable semi auto you have shot ?

Wildey Arms .475 Wildey Magnum, I still have it & it's touted as the most powerful autoloading handgun & was seen in Deathwish (don't recall which one)

Show us?

Your Wildey was in Death Wish 3

i had one in .45 win-mag for 2 or 3 years, not the most unreliable semi I've owned, but not even close to being the most reliable, I feel if ammo was more abundant and less expensive, or if I was into reloading, I could have tuned it better to be far more reliable. Very fun gun, if you don't like yours you can send it my way

Bersa Thunder .380

Like others have said, I know the majority rave but I got a lemon and Bersa service sucks.

a Bushmaster carbon fiber pistol. went to the smith numerous times and we couldnt get it to run worth a crap.

Ruger SR9. I have had no problems. Love it. I load magazine. Put magazine in gun. Pull trigger. Boom! Hole appears on paper. I clean it. It works.

Sig Mosquitio

Not a whole lot of experience

Ive put alot of ammo through the M9 Beretta. Lots. It works.

Rented the Walther P22 at a range. Used their ammo of course. That thing jammed. FTF, FTE, WNF, WNW. POS. POd. Really liked the feel of the handle. But that thing didnt work. It could have been the fact it was a "rental." Bad ammo. Who knows. I know that it didnt work.

Put several hundred rounds through my SR9. It works. No WNWs. No FTF, FTEs, etc.
FN 40 the same. It works.

Taurus 1911. Complete POS. Ran great for the first 50 rounds, after that jam, after jam after jam. It didnt seem to matter what i fed it. Got rid of it pretty fast.

My P22 is 5 years old and still works great. Try another.

AMT hardballer. I inherited it from my cop father. He said he only fired 20 rounds. This pos ftf once a mag. Sent it back twice to the factory, then had the local guru fluff and buff it. Sill no go bang every time. For sale cheep cheep

For me it was a little nickel finished Raven .25 auto.

A little Phoenix HP-22 that a buddy of mine bought used for a song. That thing was just not happy in it's intended role at all, with lots of FTFs.

Gonna do just that. One experience which had a few variables didnt account. Im hoping I can get a "shot" with a P22 that is not a "rental" and with quality ammo. Is there a Walther in 380 or 9mm? Again I really like the "feel" just not the operation on that one questionable experience.

It's a toss up between a Cobra 380 and a Diamondback 380. Both failed to feed and or eject every other round and often times EVERY round. Both were completely worthless!

Oh yeah. Walther Website

.380s





9MMs

Jennings and Bryco .22--both totally unreliable beyond a single shot!

I hate to say it because I have had nothing but great luck with all their other products but the most unreliable auto I have owned and fired was a CZ 2075 Rami. I couldn't get through a box of ammo without at least a half dozen FTE's.

Para Ordnance Carry 12. FTFs, FTEs, stovepiped a live round, bullet end up. Changed mag springs and polished feed ramp and chamber. Much better now but I would never trust it with my life.

Start the flames right now, Colt 1911!!, it is a Officer's ACP 45 cal. Still have it, just can't part with it yet but I'm ready too. Just doesn't seem to matter what I try to feed it, it either will not feed or will not extract.

In my experience, whether at the range, shooting with friends or qualifying for carry permit, the most unreliable handgun I've seen is the 1911. I have a Colt 1911 and of all my firearms it is the only one I wish I had not bought. People simply love this old warhorse. I don't get it but that's okay.

50 million people can't be wrong!

Biggest POS I've owned was a Walther P22. Wouldn't bet a dime it would go through an entire mag problem free.

Had a Hi Point 9mm. Ran like a top, ugly as sin.

Had a Sigma...miss that one.

Just yesterday got a Soviet Commemorative CZ 75B, only 20 rounds fired (4 at factory, 16 admittedly by LGS owner) with low serial number 248 of 999 made). It will be unreliable, as I will prolly never fire it. :banghead:

Well, since it's already been shot then you need to put many thousand downrange to make sure it works properly before retiring it! It's like dating a super model but not wanting to touch her because you may mess up her hair. Now, if it was still a virgin....

.25 cal pearl handle my dad had years ago.
