What is the worse

[punchie]

And why? Let's not include the usual Jennings/Bryco, Phoenix, Lorcin, High Point class of pistols. What is the worse Semi you have/had and why?

:o
an old 9mm parabellum, mauser. it was 40's era, worked great, ammo was hard to find and you could not hit a 5 gal bucket at 5 paces. i traded it for some hot rod parts in the 60's. :lol:
:cool:

My worse ( a Raven was even better) was a Thompson ( Auto-Ordanance) .45, it was craptacular and a jam-o-matic. I felt safer with a rock as a defensive weapon. I have a Tauras Millenium .45 that is okay but the trigger pull is long and tough. But it doesn't fail and hits what I am at. I know that many dislike Tauras and I can see the reasons but this one is several years old and hasn't cracked out yet. :)

For me it would have to be a Walther P-38 made up from the parts bin somewhere. WWII era gun that if you looked quick from a distance looked good. It never fired a whole mag w/o at least one FTF not to mention the 25# double action trigger.

I had an Auto Ordnance 1911 it was a total POS. I had it worked on with new sites , triger, guide rod and mags. It still wouldn't get through a full mag. I finally sold it to a friend for $50. Lost major $ trying to make it work. Next was a Tuarus PT-92 worked great until a piece broke off the Frame. Got a replacement but didn't trust them after the first one.

My worse choice in pistols has to be a Ruger P944 in .40 caliber. This pistol and I just didn't see eye-to-eye when it came to hitting where I pointed it. Don't get me wrong, I like Rugers. It was just this particular Ruger that I could not master. I still smile every time I think about the day I sold it.

The issue wasn't the caliber either. I currently own 5 .40 calibers and they all shoot very well: some better than the 9s that I own.

My dad hd an old italian .25... I'm not sure of the manufacturer, so I don't wanna type the name on the tip of my fingers right now sine I'm not 100% sure. But, that little gun would be a great training tool to teach people to reduce stoppages... LOL
Other than that, well.... I once used a Beretta 92F that was so beat up & abused it fired about 5" right of POA @ 10 yards... you were perfectly safe if you stood in front of it....

Would have to be a Beretta 96 Inox. Only had it for about 6 months. Course for about 4 months of that it was back at Beretta for work. I'd get the POS back, shoot about 50 rounds through it and have to send it back for something else. All together I had it back to them a total of 5 times!! The list of problems was endless but included the fact that I would get at least 2 FTF out of every mag and wouldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 10 paces. I sold it and bought a Taurus PT101 and consider it one of the best deals I've ever made.

I"ve never seen the 1911 that I couldn't make reliable, with any factory load. Your smith was just inexperienced, that's all. I've even used a torch to weld together 2 "dewatted" chunks of slide, used a Dremel to cut a single locking lug recess, removed the front lug from a Hardballer barrel, ground out the silver solder groove on the hardballers, feed ramp (2 pc barrel) welded over the groove, installed the slide group on an Argentine frame, (had to weld up the feed ramp on the frame) sold it to a guy who has fired many hundreds of rounds thru it, most happily.
