Mine is my Walther P22 . FTFs,Hangfires, inaccurate as all get out, the barrel lug nut comes loose after several hunderd rounds, its a pain to take apart. The Sights are lousy and plastic, too much space between sights, the finish comes off too easy.

But its the first Pistol I bought and didnt inherit.

a double barrel .38 derringer I got at a gun show for $30 about 20 years ago. I have never fired it for fear the bbl lock will come loose.

Mine is a Walter .22 target pistol, FTE if you rapid fire it.

Haven't had one yet.
So far every gun I've had has been trouble free..Just lucky I guess.

FOr me, it was a tie between the Taurus PT145 (non Pro). I couldn't stand the trigger. The other is the S&W Sigma SW9VE. I got rid of that the day I shot a Glock. Again, it was the trigger.

Honorable mention goes to the Mossberg 702 Plinkster only because of the pain it is putting it back together. :)

My problem is I didnt do my research and took the word of people who had a reason to lie (Magazines, People who bought the gun and now regret it but cant admit it)

Knock on wood....

Raven .25 is my worst gun. Don't even know why I bought it! Yes I do. The guy selling was a friend of my fathers and he had just received his FFL. His first "purchase" forresale was a box of those .25's. four or five of the "group" all wanted one. They knew nothing about queality firearms and I knew they didn't. Just seemed like the right think to do in the moment of frenzy. So....$40 bucks later I owned one.

Misfires, can't hit the side of a barn, basically cannot disassemble the gun for cleaning. Just a plain ole Saturday Nite Special. Worthless.

I do not let anybody who goes to shoot with me shoot it because it is dangerous.

So far it has been the Taurus PT-145 (Millennium Pro). I absolutely HATED the trigger. And I could never get used to the Heine 'Straight-8' sights.

I forgot about my Sigma 9mm that thing was horrible with the trigger pull. I used it to pass my chl test and thank god the test is easy because that gun was horrible and shots were all over

You should go trade it in for food stamps or teddy bears or whatever their giving away this month in Dallas.

Or - if you want to be really devious - walk up to the table and offer to trade your Raven .25 for a nicer gun that they just took in from some other sap. "Hey, can I trade you this gun for that chrome .357 Magnum?" Just be sure to keep a straight face and look serious when you do so.

Worst handgun, unquestionably my long departed Kahr PM40. Worst gun I've ever owned by a long shot. Feed and ejection problems. Trips back for warranty repair. Finally I just gave up and traded it for a shotgun worth about half what I paid for the Kahr new. But I've already told the story of it elsewhere on this forum and don't want to stir up the slumbering "Kahr RULZ!" crowd. So I'll just leave it at that.

Worst long gun, sadly, is becoming my grandpa's old Winchester 74 .22 short. Darn thing hasn't shot more than 50 rounds without a malfunction in more than 10 years. Has had the firing pin break or FTF and been replaced by supposedly competent gunsmiths 3 different times during this span. It's not not much more than a wall-hanger with a busted firing pin. Might try one more gunsmith some day. I'd really to pass this rifle on to my son. It is a SWEET shooter when it's working. Used to pop soda cans at 100 yards with it (open sights) when I was a teen-ager. I can't even see 100 yards without a scope anymore.

I won't count any that have seen years of use and abuse. My worst new-in-box purchase was a Kel-Tec P3AT. It went back to the manufacturer in Florida twice, I replaced the firing pin twice more myself, and it has never successfully managed even 50 total rounds down the tube. Given the price of the gun, I've probably already spent the cost of one overnight shipment too many, so I'm done with Kel-Tec. Elsewhere I joked about carrying the P3AT as a BUG so that if the bad guy were to take it away from me, at least I'd know he couldn't shoot me with it.

Bryco .380.

My brother bought one and I ended up buying it from him because I felt so bad for him

Broke something after about 50 rounds, fixed it, then sold it.

Taurus Millennium Pro 745.

Right out of the box, it had weak primer hits, and hung up on hollow points. The magazine had a ridiculous amount of play, when it was fully inserted. That seemed to make rounds feed in too low, unless I cupped my free hand under the the base of the magazine and kept upward pressure on it. I sent it back to Taurus, and they refused to reimburse me for the cost of shipping it (60$). Two months later, they sent it back. They replaced the firing pin spring, which fixed the light strikes, but all they did about the feeding was grind some material off the feed ramp, which actually made the problem worse. It did feed hollow points a little better, still not 100%, but now it would hang up on ball ammo, when I tried to practice. And to top it all off, they drenched it in some nasty gritty black oil that got in everything, and made it sound like the gun was full of sand when I dry fired it, and made the trigger pull worse than ever.

I eventually sold it for cheap, and I'll never touch another Taurus.

Other than that, I've been lucky. All my other guns do exactly what I expect of them.
