I have another! S&W 952 9mm target. It just wasn't that accurate. I custom loaded match ammo, weighing cases and powder, etc, and still couldn't make it shoot well.
Biggest handgun disappointment.

I had a P22 for about a month. Worst trigger that I've seen on a pistol. Well, maybe not the worst, but a close second to my 40 cal. Keltec.

L.E.S. Rogak. A Steyr GB in stainless -- who could ask for better? Sadly, they made the thing so badly that the gas system leaked. (Yes, that would be the gas system that was the pistol's central selling point.) So they just jammed in some crap around the barrel and made it into a sort-of blowback. Genius move!
I don't think the thing fed five FMJ rounds in a row without a jam. It was abysmal.
That will teach me to buy a pistol made in Morton Grove, Illinois.

Sig P238....
1. It's cute. Accurate. Easy follow up shots. Easy to conceal.
2. But... it was simply not reliable. Too many feeding issues.
3. It's now collecting dust....

i really love all guns, i love the way the feel against my skin, to watch a war movie while cleaning a gun is the best way to spend a quiet eveing at home
the most f up and fastest way to piss away any money ever spent on a gun: is to own a taurus made gun
i bought a new pt1911, ftfeed, ftfire, fte, stuck case, the rear sight drifted on the first box of ammo, i used federal factory ball ammo, if the pos did shoot, the bullet at 5 yards was all over a 9x11 photo copy of my home made target, while shooting off a bench,,, really sad,, it feels good, the over sized safety and trigger were nice but wow what a pos
i bought a new judge,, the cylinder would not always line up with the barrel the stop thingy would stick, the front sight was crooked, the trigger got stuck a few times,, then the real pain in the ass was the 410 shells would get stuck(i tried a bunch of differnt types),, never bothered to waste any 45lc on it

Had a AMT hardballer 1911 about 20 years ago.Looked/felt great sure wish I could've fired a full mag out of the POS without it galling the frame rails and jamming.
Had a lot of guns since then and have never been able to talk myself into trying another AMT product even though some models looked pretty interesting.

Taurus 85 .38, had to send it back 3 times, finally told them to keep it...they sent me a new one and it had problems too, the cylinder would bind up and the firing pin would not retract back into the recoil shield. Then there was the Taurus PT-22, terrible trigger, many FTF, sold it off. I will never buy a Taurus again.
Other pieces of crap: Bersa thunder .380 (FTFs), Beretta 21 .25. The first shot out of this .25 sent the firing pin assembly backward into my face. I had a thick beard at the time, otherwise that thing would have cut me up and not just have bruised me.

Taurus PT145 Millenium Pro
Bought a brand new Taurus PT145 Mil Pro (3rd Generation) in 7/08. It has been back to Taurus four times, for Failure to Fire problems (and once for FTF as well as failure to feed). Taurus replaced the firing pin and firing pin spring assembly, the mag release button, the firing pin block pin, adjusted the magazine body, replaced the barrel (with a used one), but the fourth return was a doozy...Problem Found: "part damaged..replaced". When I called, Taurus did not know what part was replaced!

I was young, semi-poor and excessively hopeful when I purchased a Jennings .380, many years ago. I guess the $85 price tag screamed my name and with all the ignorance in the world, I responded. It was at a pawnshop, and I thought I was getting the deal of the year. Well, it jambed, and jambed, and jambed. I eventually sold it (for what I paid) at a gun show. I hope that guy was able to "bless" someone else, and that person someone else, right on down the line...until everyone on the planet learns that Jennings (and their related Ring of Fire vendors) are complete junk.

S&W 351. Shot nowhere near point of aim and even after a trip back to the factory it wouldn't fire seven in row.

...jennings .22LR...
...though, truthfully, I paid $0 for it, since it was given to me by a friend who though I could "fix" it...I could not get the thing to extract the first rd, as the slide would only "blow back" 1/4 of the way. I new it was a POS before i got it; but I was more dissapointed that I couldn't get it to work (not that I would carry it anyway .... Yikes!) It was a reliable single shot w/ a six rd mag capacity...
you get what you (or don't) pay for ...:banghead:
I gave it back to my buddy after a couple of years and he actually CC it

Every Taurus revolver I ever purchased , Including the NIGHT COURT Judge, the worst of all.
Let's see: Disappointment is caused by expectation, fueled by value or cost as a variable. Sometimes the problem is between the shooters ears.
So what have I bought that I was disappointed in?
S&W Model 63. Cute little snubbie, in 22lr that was as accurate at 7 yards as most shotguns. Check that, it wasn't that good.
Colt Trooper III in 22lr. Shot a thumbnail at 11 yards with a cylinder. Wasn't happy with it, so I traded if for an FA 83, 252. Turns out the chambers are so tight on the 252 seating ammo often took a dowel, and removal likewise.
252 bench rested 1/4" at 50 yards for the new owner. I was expecting the greatest 22lr ever, and, I might have had it, but, it required match grade ammo, or some gunsmithing on the cylinder for standard ammo.
Also, when you buy a 2500 dollar gun, you expect it to have a decent trigger pull, matching the guns potential accuracy, so that would be 1-3 pounds for a 252. It came with a nearly 6 pound trigger. Just what you need on a target grade 22lr, with tight match cylinder. I asked Bob Baker why, and, you'd think I spat on Mother Theresa. Whole thing left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Walther PPK/S. How did Bond ever stop, or shoot the darn thing with huge hands? Bad trigger, HEAVY.
Mac 11 9mm closed bolt. Not a range gun, heavy trigger, never jammed, but, it really wasn't fun, and wouldn't go full auto, and, in Kali, no suppressor either. Loading 32 rounds of tiny 9mm wasn't fun easy, each time.
Two Browning, FN Hi-Powers. I expected a Browning/1911 type trigger and accuracy. Got neither.

Both Walthers...
A P22... bought one, never really worked well, traded it... bought another... same issues.
A P99... the design is perfect in my opinion, especially with my being a lefty. Great look, great company, capacity and features are spot on. Accuracy and felt recoil were the issues. Thing jumps like a pissed of wildcat in my hands. Dont know why.
I still want to try them both again though. But it has been proven i am insane.

Without a doubt a Cobra Patriot in .45 ACP I bought years ago. Horrible trigger, jammed up solid after about 100 rounds and regular 1911 mags would not work in it. Only paid $200 new for it but it is not worth $2.00. I would not feel good about unloading it even on someone I don't like. I threw it in the bottom of a gun safe where it has been kicked to the back over time.
A WWII surplus Walther P-38 that I got via mail order, sight unseen, from Interarms' ad in Guns & Ammo for $59, just before the Gun Control Act of 1968 went into effect. It was supposed to be NRA Very Good condition, but while the finish wasn't bad, the barrel was shot out, and the slide had cracks in two places, evidently from being shot a lot with hot submachinegun ammo.
I only got to shoot it once before I noticed the cracks, and it printed all over the target at 10 yards. I was afraid to shoot it after that, so I tucked it away for a few years, and eventually sold it for more than I paid for it to a collector who wanted one with the Waffen markings, so I guess it wasn't a total loss.
