Worst handgun you've ever shot :(

[bannockburn]

Worst handgun I ever shot would be a tie between an Astra Model 600 which would leave the web of my hand severly bruised after about 50 rounds; and a Charter Arms Undercover that began to disassemble itself after firing a box of wadcutters through it.

 

[Jonah71]

I forgot about an old Locin .380 I had. Put that one ahead of the Llama! I had the Lorcin less than 3 days. What a piece of junk!

 

[varoadking]

9mm Skyy or Sccy, or whatever they may call it today. A total POS...

 

[Kiln]

Heard alot of bad about the SCCY handguns, talked to a dealer that said a huge amount of them come back with problems and he won't even take them in the store anymore.

Amen to that....but I still kinda like it

My worst was the Grendel P-10. It had a trigger that would never break and showed just how much a .380 could hurt.

 

[BADUNAME37]

Another one which was more my fault than the gun's is a Beretta 92FS 9MM.

I was shooting with my dad and his thumb got in the way of the slide coming back, then the next time we shot it, MY THUMB got 'bit' by the slide!

I told him we need to make a mental note that this slide can be dangerous if one is not careful just where all their fingers are!

I like the little P-10 but I just could not get it to work. Would have made a great pocket pistol, the recoil wasnt bad at all, but the only problem I had with it other than not firing was that bullets had to be loaded through the slide while it was locked open. Held a ton of rounds though, I was in the double digits but I dont remember how many. I'm kinda sad that gun didnt work right.

 

[Kiln]

The Grendel pistols were designed by George Kelgren, the same guy who founded Kel Tec. I'd like to have one of the ones you have to load from the top just for the hell of it, it'd be a neat conversation piece.

[Zaydok Allen]

S&W Sigma in 9mm. I hated the way it felt in my hand, and hated the POS trigger it had. I just shot it, never owned it.

Everything about it felt wrong in my hand. JMO Sorry to the Sigma Lovers out there.

I knew it looked like a Kel-Tec for some reason. The internals are neat, and takedown is kinda easy. I can hide it behind my hand, so its awfully compact and fun.

 

[Tainta_Claus]

For me the S&W Sigma was quite terrible. But the AMT 380 backup takes the cake in my experience. Needed three grown men to pull the trigger, A true POS...well the one I had anyway.

 

[Stevie-Ray]

For me it was my AMT Govt. 1911. Never a mag without at least 2 failures. Sent back and returned to me 50% better-never a mag without at least 1 failure. After at least 1000 rounds of this I quit. Now, of course, I'd like to have it back since I have the time to put into it to get it 100%. It certainly was a thing of beauty and with all it's features a perfectly reliable one would have been a steal.

 

[pittspilot]

Makarov. Recoil actually stung worse than my LCP. Horrible DA trigger. Terrible sites, and does anyone like the mag release? PITA to take down. It was very reliable though.

 

[jimmyraythomason]

Browning High Power bought new in 1974. Worst trigger ever. Traded as quickly as possible and never bought another one.

 

[Big_John1961]

I haven't had as many handguns as many here, but the Beretta Tomcat I had was the worst. It shot okay and I never had much in the way of malfunctions, but it had a horrible trigger and was too big for a .32. I got the Seecamp and haven't looked back.

 

[TXMoonshine]

Jiminez 9mm! How did it go: Rack, fail to feed, tap/rack/chamber, fire, fail to eject, clear, rack, fail to return to battery. High Point 9mm: I think the recoil broke my hand...still hurts and this was last Dec! For the record, no, I'm not recoil sensative. I can still fire the Bond Arms .45lc/.410 just fine.

 

[thefamcnaj]

Oh yes the "SWOCK"....I bought one on a Wed., shot it on Thursday, and sold it on Friday. It looked like a glock and took down like a glock.....but it wasnt a glock. I read some where that smith&wesson setteled out of court with Glock because S&W infringed on some of Glocks patents when they came out with the sigma. If thats wrong by almeans correct me.

 

[Steve 48]

Either a Jennings 25 or a RG in 22 cal.

I was thinking that S&W WON that case..... but, I obviously, could be wrong

 

[MidwestRookie]

XD45...would sell it in a heartbeat if one was given to me.

 

[fmcdave]

I'd have to say a Colt Pony .380, KelTec P32 are in a tie for first. The S&W Sigma was third (but much better than the previous two). The Colt Pony had a HORRIBLE trigger pull and was not very accurate...but was reliable. The P32 trigger pull was slightly better, but accuracy beyond 15 feet was not good. The Sigma was reliable, accurate enough at 21 feet, but I hated the trigger pull. I sold the Pony for more than I paid for it (as Colt didn't make it for long). The Sigma I gave away. The KelTec sits in the safe for the very rare occasion when I can't carry anything else.

 

[seed]

RG-14, Phoenix .22 (forget the model number/name), Taurus .22 (again, I forget the model name/number).

 

[strm_trpr]

My LCP, I hate shooting the damn thing. I need more practice but every time I go out I keep pulling out my mini-14 instead.

 

[gun addict]

Makarov is hard to takedown? Forgive me but pulling the trigger guard down, and then racking the slide takes what, 2 seconds?
