Worst gun?


      Mossberg 590 DA1 20" 9rd

         I like it because when I let someone shoot it,  everybody hands it back to me and says "Somthings wrong with it, it won't shoot".

         Why?  Because unlike most shotguns that have a very short, quick and light trigger pull. This shotgun has a double action trigger that travels about a full 1 inch long and gets heavier through the pull. I have kept it for sentimental reasons. But the longer I keep it, the more I see the benefits of this trigger. The trigger is sort of like an extra safety, as it fools everyone. I doubt I will ever be able to sell it anyway.

Rock Island Armory m206. It's a sorta copy of a Colt Detective Special, some of it is actually upgraded to be closer to more modern Colt revolvers. The trigger guard is a weird mess and it (at least mine) won't fit holsters for a Colt detective special. I suspect they import the revolvers as 4" model and it was cut down here in the US.  

I e mailed with a photo but got no response from RIA.

It does shoot fine though. It's some kinda mystery alloy so I wouldn't run 1000 rounds of +p through it

Vulcan .50 BMG
Only about 20 rds through it and then I started hearing about how bad/dangerous they are.  It's sat in a corner for the past couple-three years.  I'd sell it, but have qualms about how I'd feel if it kaboomed on a new owner.

My 10/22.  Not that it is a bad gun, but I bought it used and it only had aftermarket mags that suck.  I've had a lot of ftf with this particular one.  Its the shitty plastic stock with a stainless barrel.  I bought it thinking I would restock it maybe rebarrel it, but it never happened.  I just find it uninteresting and not exciting enough to put money into.  I am thinking of selling it and buying a lever action 22.

I just bought the contest winner 50th anniversary model and though I like its features, I'm not too impressed.  I have some SR-25 mags (bought them in early '13).  With the one I took to the range this morning, in loading it (4) different times, I couldn't get it to run 25 rds. through it w/o a FTE/jam.  I'll probably post a range report in the Armory 10/22 section.  It worked fine with the 10 rd. mag.  Yes, I used (2) different types of ammo.  40 gr. Cu plated Win. Super-X and the 40 gr. Cu plated CCI Mini-mags.

Stainless Ranch Rifle 100% reliable but wouldn't hold a 14" group at 50 yds . Ruger claimed it was ok
Ruger P85 - 100% reliable with a nasty trigger that keeps you from hitting most anything
Ruger Police carbine that was 100% but had about a 12lb trigger

These were all brand new factory guns - see a trend here?

Charter arms stainless bulldog 44 special. Trigger would hang up . two trips to the factory and it still had the problem

All of these were traded off except for the P85

I have a couple of Moisen Nagants that are poor examples in rough shape that were heavily abused but they are still way more accurate than the ranch rifle or the police carbine

I've got a J22.  Never any issues with it when I was shooting it/carrying it.

But the most unreliable handgun I've ever owned is My M&P FS 9MM, followed by the M&P .357 SIG.  Failures to fire.  Keyholing bullets.  

Gave up on them and went to CZ's.  Very nice, reliable and accurate.

I've got the Jimenez version if that. It actually isn't too bad. It functions well with the right ammo and its easy to hide. Claude Werner's done some fairly extensive testing with a few of them. The .22 is the only one of Jennings/Jimenez that is supposed to be even mostly reliable though.

I guess my Stoeger Cougar is the worst of the ones I have.  The safety/decocker lever on it is a terrible design.  Hard to unsafe from a shooting grip and impossible to safe from shooting grip.  Plus it's guaranteed to stove pipe an average of one round per magazine with no discernable pattern/cause.  I like to use it for our local BSC events though 'cause it gives me built-in random malfunction handling practice.  :-)

This was left/given to me by my FIL on his last visit. If you can get it to fire, has decent accuracy. Some issue with the safety. I've thought about just removing the safety, but hoping for a gun buyback in my area. Also have a seriously jacked up Remington model 10 from him, and a rusted out .50 Cal Black Powder rifle. There may be some hope for the BP rifle.

Yep,

That's pretty much the way it left the "factory". Looks like it was lovingly polished with a Bastard mill file, probably because it was.

Late war production Japanese guns cut every corner they could just to get them out the door into the hands of some poor schlep.

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.

Romanian PSL.

pile of crap, over gassed, excessive headspace, slight bend in the receiver, side rail for scopes not available in the US (I tried every kind I could find, none would fit)

after I fixed the head space, it stopped blowing out the primers, but it was still kinda funky because the barrel didn't sit true to the trunnion, it wobbled around. so after pinning it I had to spot weld it. after I installed a TWS dog leg to get some kind of scope on there, it decides it will not eject correctly with that cover and doubles/ stovepipes, all sorts of shit, I don't blame the dog leg though, the rifle should eject fine it choses not to. wall hanger pile of crap. I could have had a nice rifle for the money and time I have in that piece of shit. I won't even sell it, too dangerous. plug the barrel and stick it on the wall.

basically at this point the only stuff on there worth keeping would be the rear trunnion, trigger group, furniture and TWS dog leg. and it sucks because the damn thing does look cool as shit, and when it did shoot, seemed to be pretty accurate.

Sterling 302 25acp.  Bought it via gunbroker for about $80 because I thought it was a pretty little pistol.



It arrived quite dirty so after a thorough cleaning I stepped out the back garage door with three round in the mag.  Pointed it down at the ground, pulled & released the slide and bang-bang-bang without touching the trigger.



Broken, jammed up firing pin.  I got a new replacement, took it apart and it function properly now.  This one will hit a man size silhouette at least 5 out of 6 shots at 7 yards.



My dear wife made the case from an old leather mitten, old pair of blue jeans and a used zipper. She signed it too.
