  • Worst firearm?

    Well, the five guns went well, except for xxxxx...........so let's try this.........................What's the worst firearm you ever had? I'll start................. A new Astra .357 snub made in Spain.........shot one cylinder full and got rid of it immediately, felt like it was about to fall apart in my hand.

    what a dumb*** thread. (just teasing ya pardner) I've been lucky enough to never really own a bad one. I have a winchester model 1890 that never runs right but what can you expect from a 108 year old rifle?

      As a group - Taurus! Two out of three were terrible. Consequentially, I sold them all.

        Worst firearm?

        I've had only one bad firearm. A Kel-Tec PF9. Had every type of malfunction possible, but the common theme was failure to extract. The finish was bad, and that is being nice. The bluing started coming off the slide and frame rails almost immediately, and machining marks covered the slide. The trigger, oh the trigger. After half a box of ammo your finger begged for mercy. That Fokker hurt to shoot. And then the front sight fell off while shooting. Never did find it. I tried and tried but could never get the damn thing to run. Sent it back to KT, and the day I got it back I traded it in. Painful memories.

          I've had a few clunkers.

          Charter Arms Undercover. Turned into a rattletrap, loose as a goose mess after a few years of use.

          Walther P22, two barrel set. Hated the longer barrel set up. Needed HV ammo.

          Sig Mosquito. Bam, Bam, Click! Bam, Click! Horrible trigger. Poor execution of a good idea.

          Kahr CW9 Lightstrikes. huge number of lightstrikes.
          Judging by today's left wing, looks like Senator Joe McCarthy was right after all.

            I don't care what anyone says; I love my Jennings .22. But Taurus really does deserve to be on this list.

                  No. I do have several others that are excellent performers. That CW9 had the striker innards replaced and still produced lightstrikes. The striker protrusion, from the breechface, was minimal. I suspected the breech plate thickness was more than normal and stopped the striker forward motion early. Just a guess.

                  It was a very early CW9 and a complete impulse buy. I paid about $300 and didn't feel like putting any more time or money into it.

                    I had a spring powered, Daisy BB gun that had horrible accuracy. I was younger when I owned it. I haven't bought any Jennings or Taurus, but have thought of getting a 738 TCP, so can't comment on those.

                      I bought an off brand .22 revolver at a gun show once, that I don't think had any rifling in the barrel. The bullets went all over the place, and you could see where they hit the target sideways. Got rid of it somehow, I don't remember. I think maybe I gave it away.

                      HY*NDAI is to cars, what Caracal, Hi-Point, and Jennings is to handguns. The cars may or may not run ok, but the corporation SUCKS.

                        Struggled with the wife's Bersa UCPro in 9mm for a while for a bad case of FTExtract problems. Sent it in for work and it runs pretty good now. It does not like to be dirty.
                        Also had the same problem with the wife's Nano 9mm but I polished everything and it seems to have worked it self out. It does not like dirt either.

                        Still have both.

                        Other than that I haven't had a problem with any other Beretta, Rock Island, Citadel, Kahrs, Colt, Bushmaster, Rugers, Springfield, or anything else. Have had ammo issues though.

                        FN is next on the list. I hope it goes well. We'll see.
                        The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

                            I love my P380s but Kahrs did come up a lot in the worst gun owned list here (in the 11 pages so far):
