Intratec Tec-9m. GARBAGE! Traded a Winchester 1300 for it and kicked myself after shooting it. It rubbed the skin off my right thumb and only worked with FMJ. It was phone booth accurate though :/
What is the worst pistol you have ever shot? For me it was a Jimenez Arms JA Nine...

Out of the 4 barrells you would get 2 reliable shots, never the same 2.
It did make reloads easier tho, the rounds that didn't fire would stay put
while the fired cases popped out, sometimes, occasionally.
Darned hard to hold onto with full power rounds and even 38spl Wadcutters
weren't a joy to shoot.
I still have it to remind me that new is not always better, and that gunwriters are in business to sell guns.
Old joke:
How do you know a gunwriter is lying?

Hungarian PA-63 I never thought someone could mess up a rock solid design like the Makarov up so much. Bought it from JG for $100 back in the day and it was a waste of money.
Sorry but the PA63 has nothing to do with the Makarov except for the ammunition it fires. It is a design based on the Walther PP with some modifications. Sure, it kicks a lot, but it is a defensive handgun designed to be carried a lot and shot if needed, and it is an excellent weapon for that purpose.

Odd. My PA-63 runs very well, and is accurate. It's one of my favorite handguns to shoot. I respringed it with the strongest recoil spring and a 13-pound hammer spring. Quite pleasant. Yeah, the 9x18 round is pretty powerful for its size and has quite a kick to it compared to .380, which is unpleasant to some people, but there's nothing wrong with the PA-63. You sure you didn't get a Bersa by mistake?

Worse, Llama Mini-Max .45, bought new in 2004 for $180.00 at an Academy sale. I could never get that gun to feed more than three or four rounds without stove piping. Spent another $50.00 or so on new recoil springs, mags, polishing the feed ramp, the thing still wouldn't feed ammo. I gave it away for free after a few months. It's the only pistol I ever had that the grip frame bent inward if you tried to tighten the grip screws, and you couldn't even insert the mags. Had to try to shoot it with loose grips..........

It's a tie between the Walther P22 for FTF reasons and the Taurus PT22 for a horrible trigger and therefore bad accuracy.

Three-way tie; I've had terrible luck
Taurus PT945 in 1995. It went two shots before the extractor broke, and downhill from there.
Para-Ordnance P12-45 in 1999. It rarely fired more than three consecutive shots and chewed a hole in my hand.
SIG 1911 in 2007. It choked on the second shot I ever fired through it and broke and shed parts on the range floor to be mixed with the brass. After three repairs they (to their credit) gave me a new one. This one was much better ... until it broke. This was particularly galling because it cost over $900 and I had had such positive experiences with their "classic" P-series.

#1. Kimber Polymer - most accurate 45 I have, but also most FTF, etc liklely due to mag issues. Finicky about which ammo it feeds also...
#2. Walther PPK/S - just nothing special in terms of accuracy.
