What is the worst, unreliable, P.O.S., good for nothing firearm you've ever personally owned?

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

I had a 25 caliber raven pistol that blew up after less than 100 rounds through it.

The slide literally blew to pieces.

Kokohead range (the old pistol side) 1989.

None yet... Although I love my Mossberg500 Roadblocker, I spent way too much money for it because I wanted it so bad and didn't wanna wait...  :(

I bought a Charter Arms Explorer once for $40, never fired it but it was ugly as sin and I sold it for $100.

Same happened with an old Bryco/Jennings .380 that I bought as soons as I turned 18...catastrophic failure of the slide sent the back half whizzing past my face. Powder burnt into the right side, but lucky to still have my eye. That $80 POS got me a $25,000 settlement.  :wacko:

My Dadʻs old Charter Arms AR-7. Total piece of crap. Bought a bull barrel and collapsing stock with pistol grip for it. Made it more reliable and suck a whole lot less, but I still never shoot it. Bought a Henry AR-7 a couple years ago and that version is much better. Almost no jams, and they make them in camo colors now too. I keep it in my bug--out bag...

Maybe I've been lucky and just haven't had much junk. The "worst" firearm I've ever had was a Ruger Mark II. It has FTE's with cheap stuff and is really beat up. The good thing is that it feeds wonderfully with Blazer.

Same here, I actually sent mine back to Sig thinking something was wrong. They sent it back with FTF / FTE problems still present. I sucked it up and just started buying Minimags/Stingers (it helped improve the feeding and ejecting, but still has some problems).

Sucks because I love my P226, and I really wanted a matching "mini me" pistol... :-[
