    The worst gun you ever bought?

    Ever buy a gun only to realize that if you wanted a paper weight you could'a gone to the five n dime? My own personal trashmaster: Jennings Bryco .380, more jam than a jar of smuckers, blew up my second time out, muzzle cracked, took it back to the dealer: me "uh I just bought this two weeks ago and it broke" dealer "uhhhhhhh yeah they are known for that"

    That sucks.

    So far I have had pretty good luck. Although, I do research the hell out of everything that I plan to buy.

    I did buy a cheap shotgun a few months back - a Maverick 88. No complaints with the actual gun. Until I put an aftermarket stock on it. Now it kicks like a mule! It made me change my technique to take away the sting.

          I hope you mentioned the jamming problem. I hate people that shove their problem gun onto someone else without being
          forthright.

              Decent gun actually. I got my Maverick for just over 2 bills. It actually had the Mossberg sticker on it. Made in USA too. Just don't get a Tapco collapsing stock

                i've bought guns that i just didn't adapt to or shoot very well... but none that i'd classify as junk.

                  Ladysmith 3913 9mm. Wife's gun.
                  It couldn't make 3 inch groups at 7 yards while locked in a Ranson Rest... It was actually worse than that but I don't recall how bad.
                  Gunsmith thought it was so bad it that it must be broken and he sent it to S&W for repair.
                  They said it shoots "within specs"...
                  He suggested sell it-we did.

                  Bought a CZ75 Compact instead. Best gun EVER

                  Never will buy another S&W...

                      Ruger P-85. Paid very little for it and found out why; it was an uncomfortable, jam-machine. My buddy loves his, though (and admittedly, his jams much less than mine did.)

                        GSG-5, its disassembled right now because something broke on it.... yet again. Pretty much every time I shoot it some part breaks.

                        This time its the hammer getting stuck back in the "zero maintenance required" lower that needs maintenance.... last time it was the crappy MIM charging handle that just broke in half. This gun is just total junk.

                          Ruger P90, not a bad gun in any real respect(functioned perfectly, no jams, no quirks), but with a grip that big it really should have had a double stack magazine.

                            A Kel Tec PF9 9mm. POS!!! Gun jams all the time. Grip to small. Didn't group worth a damn. I figured out why you can get them for 3 bills. Never again!

                              Century Arms CETME. Traded it for a Century Arms WASR10 that was about a billion times more reliable. Couldn't fire more than one round without stove piping.
