I see a lot of newbies asking the same questions about products that are known to be poor quality. I decided to make a single thread where some of the worst products can be listed all in one spot. I don't want to see people bashing one company or product just because they has one bad experience with it. If you had a bad experience with an otherwise respected company or product please state it as such.
What I am really looking for are the worst offenders. We all know there are products that shouldn't even be sold but are because they are cheap or people don't know how bad they are.
I will start.
Ammo:
"American Ammo"
This is the only brand of ammo I would ever consider putting on this list. I have had problems with other makes of ammo but this stuff is crap. It is without doubt, the worst ammo I have ever seen. I only think they can sell it because it sounds like like Federal's inexpensive ammo. This is also known as "A-Merc" avoid at all costs!
Mags:
"USA Mags"
Sounds patriotic doesn't it? Sounds like "American Ammo". Guess what, these mags are total junk. I have bought and owned many mags from USA Mags over the years in different calibers for different guns but they all had one thing in common, they didn't work and were made poorly. These are the only mags I actually thown out when I get a gun that comes with them in a sale or a trade.
"Pro Mags" not as bad a USA but nearly every promag I have owned had problems. I have owned a few that actually worked so all is not lost. I wouldn't buy them but if you feel lucky, and you are dirt poor, you might take a chance. I give you one chance in three of getting a good mag. Do you feel lucky punk?
"Triple K Mags"
Guns:
There will be a lot of opinions here so lets try and keep it specific to certain models and not bash an entire company if they happen to make some some good and some bad products. For example, I think Taurus makes some junk but they also make some decent guns so it would be unfair to tell people to avoid Taurus compleatly.
Kel-Tec P-32. The one I had was junk but some people have good luck with them. Just stating the facts.
Intratec AP-9 (Tec-9)
Intratec Tec 22 (anything by Intratec is junk)
Taurus PT-22
All Jennings, Bryco, Jimenez (however they spell it, it is crap)
There are lots more and I will add to my list when I think of more.
