s&w sigma in 40 a 9 is the worst shooting thing ever u would beg to own that taurus if u ever shot one of them id prefer take a bullet then be caught carrying one of them
 
Remington 770!!!!! Action jerky rough and loose, Accuracy flat out sucks, the cheaper Stevens 200 is WAAAAAAY better, the simalarly priced Weatherby Vanguard is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better.

Sig 556!!!!!! twice the weight of the AR, Same firepower, Rattler, The sights suck, Parts are not interchangeable, twice as much money as an AR, less accurate.

Sigma!!!-- No explanation needed... Garbage.

Colt AR 22!!!- Broke in half at work.


Wow now what do all of these have in common?

All come from companies that have a great name. These companies use a great name in the business to market a total POS, which is UNACCEPTABLE.

#1) A Browning Hi-Power, to put it simply, was a POS. #2) A Colt Python bought back in the late 1960s, never punished it, but in less than a year, was a rattling piece of junk
 
Never shot a real POS.

My S&W 469 shoots consistantly 5" low at 7 yards, and the grip makes me shoot to the right. Good enough to carry, and refuses to malfunction, but not accurate.

A friend of mine was given a Lorcen .25 for his new house. :rolleyes: The slide doesn't lock back, so he counted off shots. Guess he forgot one in the chamber; counted, removed his finger from inside the trigger guard, and set it down on the bench--and it fired.
 
Two really bad stinkers...

The first was an American Arms knockoff of the Colt Frontier Scout. It had an external safety on the left side of the frame. First and last time I have seen that on a single action of any kind. It fired for about 25 rounds, then the safety fell out. After that, it was hit and miss. In addition, the ejector rod was bent when I bought it. Sadly, this little "gem" fell into the Wabash River, unfortunately, while I was cleaning it and had it disassembled...

The second one was a unmarked/unknown .25 ACP automatic. It appeared to be either 1) plated and completely pitted or 2) the bluing was worn completely off and the metal had pitted. It would fire one round (normally) and then go full auto. Sadly, it too ended fell into the Wabash River, unfortunately, while I had it disassembled for cleaning.
 
Auto-Ordnance GI-spec 1911. It would jam with 230-grain FMJ, wouldn't chamber a hollowpoint if your life depended on it. Fun to shoot when it worked, just poor quality control at the factory.
 
One thing I noticed is not many foreign guns made the list!! I have a couple of Mosins,
great rifles,also have some Tokarevs, never jams after 3-400 rounds so far, Charter Arms, yes it does jam every other round til you chamfer the chamber, not much chamfering though, it rips off a 7 and a 15 rd mags now with no problems, my 10/22 jams quite often also, I hope our troops have better guns then what is made here in the states, this is just my observation.

Lorcin 9mm. Didn't lock the slide back after the last round was fired, but consistently stovepiped the last round so I'd know to switch out the mag.

Funny, I own a SW40VE and it has been nothing but a pleasure to own and shoot.

In approximately 3,5000 rounds fired through the gun I have yet to have a malfunction of any kind.
 
My experence shot and owned a S & W Sigma in .40. Horrible trigger, balance was all off. I also had a bad experence with a WASR. I know lots of people love em', but I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with mine. I still love the platform and will someday own another AK, but THAT WASR was a POS.
 
I had a Springfield V10 about 12 or so years ago. It was a POS from day one. It would not shoot an entire mag without at least one jam. I figured, "OK, it's in the break in period." Wrong.
I put about 600 rnds through it, used 5 different mags (3 different manufacturers) and tried different .45 cal loads by different manufacturers. It remained a piece of crap.
I sent it back to Springfield 2 or 3 times. They finally got it good enough that it would only jam once in about every 50 rounds. I don't consider that acceptable and will never buy another M1911A1 from Springfield.
By the way, the last time the V10 went back they replaced the slide. The steel was so soft that the slide lock was rounding out the notch in the side of the slide.
 
The biggest POS I ever shot?

No contest, a Military Gun Supply/Wise Lite Arms semi-auto version of the PPSh-41

Might I ask for a little elaboration? I was eyeing the PPsH-41, and would love to get your opinion on it and why it sucked.
 
I got for my first semi was a JA-Nine. (9mm)
the feed ramp was so Sharp.. FMJ ok HP. no way it would load..
I took a metal file, and Filed the feed ramp and now shoots some what ok..

Working fine with FMJ and not HPs, doesn't make a gun a POS. Many more expensive guns have not cooperated with HPs. Merely having to tweak a feed ramp would make half the guns in production a POS.
 
Camp carbine. Any gun that gets melted with lacquer thinner can kiss my ass.
The one I had also did not cycle reliably with any ammo.
 
I have to add my vote for Locerin 380. Had one and it NEVER fired a complete magazine without 1 stove pipe, 2 FTE , 3 the slide falling off, 4 Mag falling out.:cuss: POS-POS-POS-POS:banghead: I would not depend on it to commit suicide with as I know it would fail!!! Accuracy sucked also as when it fired It would not hit a pattern on the side of a refrigerator box.:what::fire: Only firearm that I have cut in half with a Sawsall.:barf:
 
...you dont like the sks? ive never heard someone not like one...

I am right there with him, I can't say that it is a terribly bad gun (not super accurate, but not horribly inaccurate or unreliable in any way), it just doesn't fit me (unergonomic as hell) and the price has climbed waaay too much lately. In short it simply doesn't float my boat.
