I have an H&R revolver in 38 S&W, NOT 38 special. 40 years or so back my Aunt asked me what kind of gun to buy for protection in Virginia near Washington DC, knowing she wouldn't practice with it or get any training, I recommended a 38 special revolver, I told her to get a Smith & Wesson, she wrote all that info down. Shyster in the gun store sold her that H&R revolver in 38 S&W, man what a CROOK! Of course when she died, I got stuck with it! Its a piece of CRAP! SOB just locks up from time to time, you can't trust it at all, if I had a boat I'd use it for an anchor, that's all its fit for.

I would say CETME, but I just parted it out and sold it. Left the factory a POS? Does a Glock that out-of-box stovepipes, throws brass at the shooter's face, and has generally weak ejection count? If so, that is my current biggest POS. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile View Quote I've bought two of those. |

I have a few yugo sks rifles, along with three M44 mosins and a Finnish model. I suppose some would consider them junk, they would be wrong though. Also have a Davis derringer, it's kind of junky

Jennings Bryco "59" 9mm. Bought it new in the box from a friend's dad. He'd had it for several years and never fired it. Still had the Minnie Pearl tag on it. It was my first handgun. I know, I know, but hey. $130 and I could smuggle into mom and dad's place easy peasy. First couple of gun shows I went to, I was able to find a few magazines new in the package. I liked it, for what it was, but it kept breaking the skin on my thumb. Kept thinking I should take a file to it. Didn't really have much interest in getting anything nicer in 9mm, since over the years I had picked up a USP45 and other "real" guns. About 2 years ago, I decided it was time to take the file to the back of the frame. Man what a difference. Problem was, about the next time I took it out, I noticed the extractor pin was walking out of the slide. I'd put between 4-5K rounds through it, but was bummed (not surprised though) that it was wearing out. It was then I came to grips with it and eventually got something decent. I found a place that has a new slide in stock, but every time I think about putting $60 into it, I think, "that's 60 bucks towards something that doesn't suck". I can get about 10-15 rounds out of it before the pin gets out too far, but since it still functions, I can't quite take the band saw to it just yet.

Helwan Brigadier. A copy of Beretta M1951.
fired a magazine through it and it locked up pretty bad. What a POS. Soft metal. Busted locking block. |

Yeah... Hard to admit. It's my $2,150 Les Baer. It is my favorite gun to shoot, probably my most accurate. But even after the 1000 break-in, out of the CMC PowerMags+, it has malfunctioned probably 20 times. Out of everything else, I had one light strike on a Glock, but not other malfunctions (maybe 10ish other guns shot just as much). Simply, a high dollar 1911 is my worst gun. Kinda hurts to type it. |

I don't mean condition. I mean, POS. As in left the factory as a POS. I'm pretty sure I have you all beat. I own one of these: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/Wikijenningsj22-1.jpg View Quote You're wrong, I have one of those too but missing one wooden grip. Some one gave it to may dad and he was going to use it for home defense (). I saw it and took it away from him. In its place, I gave my father a Springfield XD I have been carrying for years with two extra mags.. Another POS I have is a SS Beretta 92FS with a broken trigger. Got to send it to the shop soon. |

Walther P22. the slide is so worn that the slide stop wont engage it to lock it back. i have it hidden in my detached garage as a "better than a sharp stick" gun in case an uninvited two legged or four legged creature shows up while im working in the shop.

Hi Point .45...the gun for those who like the ergonomics of power tools and the weight of a good boat anchor.
The thing has been rock solid, though. Got it for $75 from a pawn shop on a whim. |

A Bersa .22LR thing (sorta looks like a PPK) or the Tarsus Judge I inherited from my father in law.

Savage C4 with a 2×6 carved into a stock. Was buried in a garden for 30 years so I can't blame it too much for being a POS
The other is a FIE buffalo scout .22 revolver. Main string has a cut up buffalo nickel wedged behind it to make it go boom. Traded 80rds of 308 for it, i feel gyped. |

Tie between the Kel Tec PF 9 I got in a trade for a bunch of AR parts I wasn't using, or my GP 1975 Romanian AKM.
Buuut, the AKM actually works, so I guess I'll have to give it to the PF 9. |

I had a Llama 45 . I really tried to like it as it came from my late brother. He never shot it cause it sucked so bad. He gave it to me to get it out of the house before he passed. He instructed me to sell it if anyone would buy it. I took it to Scheels to trade in on a 870 hoping to get maybe $50 or $60 on trade. They said they were sorry but could only give me $150 trade value. I like to think he is still smiling about my deal. That gun could not go one magazine without multiple no fire or no feed, I tried to have a couple different smiths look at it. They would not touch it. I had one of the Llamas when I first really got into buying guns, I think it was the Mini-Max. I remember it being one of the biggest pieces of shit that I have ever owned the old 45 looking Llama .380's were tits; the 45's not so. my entry in this thread is either a bolt-action JC Higgens 12ga, but I got it from my dad, so it's got one up on my H&R 20ga single shot that has several holes on the top of the bbl from failed attempts to install a scope mounts,,, the frame for that combo houses the .223 bbl my kids hunt with,,,, |

A hopkins and allen top break 32 cal revolver.The gun is basically scrap, but my uncle gave it to me before he died, I also have a fie 20ga single shot that belonged to my grandpa.Both of these are about as low as i have ever owned.Of the others i own, my beretta 92, is probaly the worst.Probably the least shootable pistol i have ever fired.I only keep it because of sentimental attachments i have with the one i had in the Marines.
I recently purchased a rem 870 express ,,which is kind of a pile,,but for $125.It will serve the purpose. |

Keltec P11, only because the trigger is a heavy sun of a gun.

Keltec PF-9. Total peace of shit. It usually fails to fire every 3rd round or so. All types of ammo. I don't care enough about it to go through the hassle sending it back. Last Keltec I will ever buy. View Quote My son's works just fine. How about you sell yours to me for the cost of shipping and $25? I'll go through the "hassle" of sending it back. |

There is a Raven .25 auto in my safe. My step-son's sperm-donor gave it to me for him years ago, and it has sat in the safe ever since. My buddy GeneT and I have discussed making a USPSA/IPSC Open pistol out of it for shits and grins, but it isn't worth the time or materials.
I'm saving it for the day some gun buy-back happens, or I need it for some other purpose. Like the only thing that survived a terrible boating accident, because shit floats. |

Probably my CZ-52. I was warned, but I got one anyway I have two (!) of them. (I pretty much have two of every gun I own at least one of....except for the J22 ) I've had two of them, and traded both off for bigger and better things. I really like them, though - they feel great to me. Heavy for what they are, but damned accurate and durable. |

Chiappa 1873-22. I needed an SAA of some flavor really badly earlier this year, but was in the process of buying a house and having a baby so I went cheap and people kept telling me to get a .22. I don't like shooting .22 and the chambers get tight after not that many rounds. It's fun to play with but not the best shooter.

I have a RG revolver snub nosed 22
So fugly I wont even post a pic |

High Standard .22.
jam-o-matic pos. don't like it. have eliminated all other POS guns I have. but people tell me this one "is a classic" so I have a hard time selling it |

A nickel Raven arms MP25, works, but seems to shoot 3 inches to the left at 5 yards. The closest store that has .25 acp ammo is about 50 minutes away, and it costs about the same as 45 acp. And pretty sure it's older than me, found it in the back of my parents closet.
