    Hands down, a Mosin revolver.

    Need a winch to pull that trigger back.

    I just dont want to lift weights or take up some strength exercise to adopt to a bad handgun. Too many good choice out there.

    Yep. Feels like you got to have a tractor trailer to pull that trigger.:eek:

    FEG PA-63. I tried one and felt the Incredible Hulk would have trouble with the DA pull. I could get the hammer to drop but I'd hate to have to do social work with it.

    I've noticed this on other guns. What causes that?

    For me, its a tie between the S&W Sigma and the S&W M&P. Lousy triggers. Gritty, spongy and long. :barf:

    Out of the handguns I have shot, I would say the Glock trigger. I've practiced a lot with it, but I've never really liked it.

    +1 on the Cobra Patriot 45. 12lb+ trigger pull. Terrible

    If there is one worse than the Sigma, I don't want to ever try it.

    My LCP has the worst trigger of any gun I own. I really don't like shooting it.

    Of the handguns I've fired my least favorite trigger is on the LCP. I have no experience with most of the other "popular" models mentioned in this thread.

    Easy. AMT Backup DAO. Might as well hand it over to the assailant to befuddle them, use hand-to-hand combat while they are struggling with the trigger. Must be 30# or better. Makes my P64 look like a hair trigger.

    I've had a few. In no particular order:

    CZ50. The DA trigger was a BEAST and it wasn't very reliable either.
    NAA Guardian. Again, heavy trigger and almost guaranteed that the last round would stovepipe.
    SW99. Long, spongy, springy and just a plain nasty trigger.
    Peitta 1858 Starr revolver. Yeah, a DA black powder revolver is an oddity and as heavy as the DA trigger is, I can see why it never caught on.

    All of these guns I have owned are now long gone and honestly I can't say I miss any of them. I guess I would like to have the SW99 back because it was a .45 ACP model. Not that I want to shoot that POS again but they weren't made all that many years and I am sure if I sold it today, I would get more for it when I did sell it.

    My stock M&P was absolutely terrible. Felt like there was sand in it on the pull, and felt at least seven different "clicks" on the reset. Got an APEX kit and trigger and it feels perfect now.

    Polish P64 in 9x18 Makarov. Worst, hardest trigger pull in history (in DA).

    No mention of the Sig P250? I see a lot of complaints on the length of pull and reset on this one.

    For me it would be a Davis 22 derringer I shot a couple years ago. It really stands out. Small, slippery and stiff trigger.

    Kahr is only DA poly gun I could ever shoot without thinking what a monumental piece of crap the trigger was.

    Coke, I think it has to do with rough parts in the system.

    I've shot a lot guns with sub-par triggers, but the one that sticks out in my mind was a Rohm DA revolver I fired years ago. Long, gritty and very heavy. I don't know for sure, but I reckon it was over 20 pounds.
