What is the biggest POS you ever shot?

Lorcin 380.

The bane of many shooters here and oddly enough the people who rob 7-11s at midnight.

I had a Sigma .40 that I couldn't get to shoot in the same spot twice. It functioned perfectly butI couldn't hit a thing with it. Now I have a Tuarus 1911 and I love it. Not as good as a Kimber that I shot but way cheaper.

Clerke 1st 5-shot revolver in .32 S&W Long. No rifling in the barrel and you can spin the cylinder with the hammer back. I still own the gun for novelty sake. Believe me, it is THE biggest POS gun over anything anyone has posted on here. I bet money on that!

A Jennings .22 pistol. Now THAT really is a POS!!!!! :banghead:

He was about 6' 4" and 240 lbs.

Oh, wait, I misunderstood the title.

Hehehe

An Eibar Fast PPK copy in .380, made in Spain. The action stuck, it wouldn't feed for poo and shot like a scattergun.

shot it two weeks ago...

Shot a friend's single shot .22LR. I don't know what kind it was, I just know it was beat up, the extractor didn't work (he used a butter to get the spent case out), the wood stock was all banged up, and it didn't have a rear sight.

Davis .380. belonged to a buddy of mine. the reason he got it? "It was shiny"

Perhaps that is why my dad bought one...good ole' shiny pot metal. There have been some major incidents (like slide breakage) with those pistols...tell him to discard it at a location of his choosing (perhaps you could send it to Brady for demonstrating the lethality of handguns ).

taurus model 94. trigger was so bad I can't describe it. cyclinder gap was too small and it would lock up after 200 shots. i took it apart after a mere 3000 rounds to finnd the hammer broke off it's pin. pos....my smiths never do any of those. or my colts, rugers, etc. at to top it off i sent it back and they send me a brand new one....with no cylinder stop in it....***???

a rossi single shot 243

American Arms PX-22

It was a jam-o-matic when I got it.

Never really tried to fix it, passed it on to a dealer after telling him what a POS it was. He said, ah, you probably just need to find the ammo it likes.

He was an optimist. I had already tried 6 or 7 different types of ammo but I'm just glad he took it and actually gave me some money too!

I never shot a pos, only guns that needed adjustments

I would love to get my hands on all these clunkers, just to see how many I could fix.

I have seen 2 votes for a Remington 597. I'll add one more. I bought one brand new from Wal-Mart and it jammed about 50% of the time.

NC-mike,

Funny you mention the PX-22, I'm getting my father's one within the next month (as soon as he can find it and FFL it to me). It's mostly nostalgia value, it was the first handgun I ever fired. He let me fire it since it was the easiest thing for a kid to fire that he had.

I'm going to run a few mags through it for history's sake when I get it. Sure it was jammin more than bob marley, but hey...it's a piece of my childhood.

Grendel P30.

My buddy that owned it loaded up a full magazine and let me have at it. It jammed in every way possible, and some that I have seen in no other gun. I got it to fire two shots in a row a few times, and once three shots, and it mangled five or six rounds before they were fired. It probably took five minutes to go through the 30 rounds. Oh, and the trigger pull was probably fifteen pounds and I couldn't keep the shots it did fire on a paper plate at 10 yards.

He loaded it up again and went to it. After a few shots, it went off out of battery, which damaged the magazine and ended shooting it for the day. From what remnants of the case we found, it looked like a round got tipped up vertically and the rim was crushed by the slide going forward. We both got stung pretty good, but had shooting glasses on, so no harm done.

I wish the P-30 worked, because it's a pretty cool design.

I can't say I've shot anything that bad, just home gunsmithing gone wrong (not mine) and some guns that needed tweaking/repair. The plan is to keep it that way.

A worn out Taurus 357 tracker from my local range.

Smith & Wesson Escort .22 pistol, that POS belonged to a boss I worked for... I would have shot it if it fired any of the 5 different brands of ammo I had on hand. Main spring the culprit, but when it was replaced it would not feed anything.

POS Taurus 1911 in SS. It was real pretty, but the left safety fell off after 50 rounds of target ammo. Then the slide wouldn't lock back after the last round. Took it to my smith twice to get the safety fixed. Finally replaced the ambidextrous safety with a single side, replaced the slide release and springs.

I got an even trade for a Colt Officer's Target Model 22 in NRA Excellent condition and haven't looked back.

The American Arms TP70 .25cal pistol.

It was such a POS that it still BARELY made for a good Rock. Happy Day when I traded it
away on a S&W 586.

+1 for RG 22 revolver. My father in law lent it to me before I bought a 22 pistol of my own. It failed to fire every third or fourth round, and my son recently picked up a cap gun at the dollar store that had a better trigger. I gave it back to him after a few days and started shopping for a real gun.

worst of the worst

Mine was the 1st pistol I ever owned.
Mom bought it for me at age 14.

An RG-38s, blue, 4 inch, cheap plastic grips.

It would fire, but you had to rotate the cylinder with each shot.
It could "group" about a 14 X 14 inch circle at 5 yards. Often with one flyer.

After 5 boxes of .38 special LRN it just fell apart. The trigger would not pull, it would not lock into battery, sight fell off, and maybe a screw or two.
And I mowed lawns all summer to buy tha hunk of Zinc.

Welcome to, uh, posting Dirkman...if it "grouped" 14*100/5=280MOA...what was the flyer like?
