What’s the worst gun you’ve owned/ own?

[SMR412]

Grendel in .380. It was reliable but really bad DAO trigger.
Remington Nylon 66, never ran reliably.

I see a handful of Kel Tec guns mentioned. Kel tec seems to have some really good ideas and often come out with something pretty cool, unique, and practical guns but they all seem to be a bit under built and like somewhat unfinished projects. They were the first to make a couple of really popular guns that other companies took the design and come out with a better version. The P3AT comes to mind turning out the ruger lcp models.

Look at the P11, years ahead of the P365. I still think of how they can cram 12 rounds into the flush fit mag in the P11.

Crappy trigger, otherwise a nice enough micro 9 years ahead of the pack.

I’ve owned two Kimber 1911s that were nothing but problems. I’ll never own another Kimber. For those prices, Kimbers should give you little to no issues.

I had like 3 or 4 that were flawless. Just to pretty for me.

For me, we have some crappy 22lr snubnose revolver. It's not a bad gun, but it's damn near impossible to hit anything further than about 3 feet away. Lol.

Sounds like that Keltec P11. Grendel was another pistol I always wanted to pick up and never did. Maybe that’s a good thing.

The Raven 25 Auto. I was young and wanted something. This was all I could afford. Hard as heck to find ammo for it. I traded it in as a down payment for a 10/22 rifle.

Bought one of those years ago for the wife, she wouldn't touch it. I ended up giving it to my Mother in Law. Tried to shoot a possum with it about 15 ft away under a shed, missed that darn thang even at that distance. I shoulda just threw it at him.

I bought my son a Rossi Trifecta set. A top break, single shot receiver and three uppers in .22lr, 20ga and .243 in a zippered case. Seemed like a good idea for a young hunter. I put a Burris Fullfield II scope on the .243 and we headed to the range. Long story short.....I tried just about every commercially made ammo and even loaded some of my own but could not get it sighted in. I talked to a couple people having the same problem with their .243 barrels. I decided it wasn't that bad because I still had a .22lr and a 20ga for relatively cheap. Wrong! The 22lr barrel printed the same shotgun pattern the .243 barrel did. Not sure where these barrels came from but everyone I talked to about them said none of the rifled barrels in the Trifecta sets were any good. One guy sent his back to Rossi. In the process of fitting a new .243 barrel to his set it created a poor fit for the 22 and 20ga barrels. I opted to just chock it up as a learning lesson (and the most expensive single shot 20ga I own)

Grandpa bought me a 12 gauge crack barrel from a pawn shop, Thing killed on both ends, I was about 15 at the time.
I think he secretly hated me ?

I wanted one of those too. Just never pulled the trigger. Probably a good thing.

 

[sgt z]

keltec producing p11 currently at 2024 shot show. perhaps they refined it

 

[Martman300]

A better trigger would be great.

The sub 2000 seems to be good.

When I say "really bad trigger" I MEAN probably the WORST trigger ever on any firearm ever made. It is leaps and bounds worse than the next BAD trigger I've ever tried.

 

[Major]

None of em (so far)

That's what me and my buddies refer to as a "Three Stage Trigger" lol

Had a street sweeper before the 90’s ban under Clinton. Labeled it a “Destructive Device”. To be honest, it was a heavy, burdensome POS. I had no problem getting rid of it. I have Saigas now and they’re more firepower in a sweeter package. If I’m not mistaken, the street sweeper is still outlawed.

I had one of these trifecta kits too. Accuracy wasn't the issue, ftf was. Totally unpredictable. Sometimes fired, sometimes not. Couldn't fix it. Sent it to Taurus for repairs, they couldn't find a problem. Sold it with full disclosure. Glad it's gone.

Walther p22. Biggest jamming piece of crap. Extracter also broke and hit me below my eye.

Make sure you safety squint with every shot lads. Got to be safe out there.

Eye protection. You still own it? Wanna sell it?

 

[CyberSlacker]

Olympic Arms AR pistol. POS from the flash hider to the buffer tube, came out ok though, bought it for $300, walking around a gunshow with it, a dealer stopped me and offered an even trade for a G19

My first (& worst) of many semi-auto .22 LR pistols - the J. C. Higgins Model 80 in 1962. I had been introduced to the Hi-Standard Supermatic on the U of Ark Army R.O.T.C. rifle team and loved it. I had been a revolver shooter til then, but had to have a semi-auto. The JCH was made by HS & while it was a far cry away from the Supermatic, it was all I could afford in a HS-like piece. Went down to a bridge on Bayou Meto to kill some cans. Cut my thumb on the sharp edge mag follower button, the trigger was about like my old daisy bb gun, had to aim almost 3" to the side to hit a soup can at about 30' with 2 different ammo types. Traded it the same day I bought it & added cash to get my first of many Rugers - a Mk I.
