What's the worst firearm you ever owned?

[daskraut]

Jennings .22 auto. After the first 40 rounds, the firing pin peened the chamber and made the brass stick in the chamber. major POS. Sad/funny thing is my mom bought one and never fired it, one a bet I told her it would not function and fired it out the back door toward a mountain....."click"....cycle...."click" again. So I bought her a new S&W .38 revolver.

Barreta 22 flip top. The damn thing would jam left and right.
Aside for that, every other barreta we owned has been a sweetheart.

Egyptian Maadi for it's horrible trigger slap. I did function flawlessly, though, like most AK designs.

P22 wather should throw in a jar of asprin with each one. Back to the factory 3 times and it still dosent work. I took in a 10-22 that was a piece of junk according to a friends dad. He outright gave it to me. I took the trigger group out and it was covered in 10 years of crap. I cleaned it out and it worked flawlessly for me till my nephew decided it was his. I guess he was right because he still has it.

I can't say that I have ever bought a POS, but the biggest POS that I ever shot was a Tec-9. Fire 2 rounds and jam. Clear and fire 3 rounds and jam. Spent more time clearing jams then shooting.

My dad had a J22 ( worst firearm ever in my house)also never fired it until i told him to take it to the range and well it also didn't shoot!I gave him money to get himself a SigPro.

FEG PA63.
Don't buy. It jams, has a 3/4 ton trigger pull and it's painful when it fires (due to its light aluminum frame)

[BossHog]

Walther PPK/S by Interarms. Total POS with several FTF's and FTE's with every mag. Dumped it for a big loss.

[Poohgyrr]

Easy. A Star PD. It couldn't take the amount of shooting I was doing (100 to 200 rounds per week). The recoil buffer was difficult to find replacements for, and the steel pin (slide stop lever buts up against it) stripped itself out of the alloy frame and took a hike.

I got it fixed one last time and sold it. The guy who bought it wasn't going to shoot it much and didn't worry about the problmes I had.

It was fairly accurate though, I was getting nose size groups (ball ammo) at fifty feet before the end.

I would have to say it has my first handgun I ever purchased, a Star M30 9mm. Shooting it was fun. It was fairly accurate though heavy as a brick, but the weight made the recoil almost disappear. The problem I had with it was the Spanish steel; it was soft. Over a five year period I put about 5k rounds through it. I finally noticed that the locking lugs in the slide were compressing, this had a major effect on accuracy and I became worried about failure, So, I sold it to a gun shop and bought a Sig 226. I will never buy another Star again. Surprisingly, I found three mags, high caps, in my misc box about a month ago.

Ruger Mini-14

Maybe it was just that one rifle, but I couldn't even keep rounds in the paper at fifty yards, even from a rest. I do better with slugs from a smooth-bore shotgun!

The worst part is, the mini was the first rifle I bought after being out of shooting for many years. For a while, I thought I had lost the ability to shoot! Fortunately, I eventually got to try other rifles, and they worked as expected. Still can't do squat with the mini, though.

It's true, the mini never jammed, but that hardly matters if you can't hit your target.

That would be the Taurus PT945. The firing pin tip broke off twice! I sold it on consignment the second time it came back. It has the lifetime warranty (now I know why) so I didn't feel bad about passing it on. I have never owned another Taurus since.

[mike100]

Star modelo B.

broke the barrel link after 300 rounds. it is a 63 year old arsenal refurb, but still it jammed a lot before it broke and all the pins walk out of the holes if you fire more than 2 mags thru it.

it points better than any other gun I have, but the metalurgy is second rate.

[HK fan]

I am ashamed to admit I bought a jennings .22

[PanzerAce]

A savage 93R17-F

But only because since it is my only rifle that isn't in pieces spread all over my room, it is also the best I have ever owned
