I have two....a DB380 and PT1911.

DB380 broke after 25rds. Trigger was horrible. I bought it during my Glock faze. Went back to 1911s or similar guns like the P238. I no longer own any Glocks.

The PT1911 wouldn't feed any HP ammo and only 50% of ball no matter what brand, type of mag I used or how tweaked the extractor was. The finish came off like it was applied with a sharpie. The right side thumb safety fell off. Hammer follow happened after 50rds. Finally the frame dented easily when it slightly hit much softer material like wood. Total garbage and was the straw that broke any consideration for a single Taurus product ever again. I've owned other Taurus garbage and handled many more but that PT1911 was the last purchase.

Both guns were sold with-in a week of buying them.
 
Kimber CDP II... Parts breakage/ catastrophic failure (as in the slide flew off of the frame and went down range) at < 250 rounds.

I promptly had it repaired and then traded it for a real pistol... A Glock 35 (and a Mossberg 590).
 
Wonder whats the best caliber for carp? (:

Both .22lr and .243 WIN worked for me when I was a younger, dumber version of myself.

You need shallow water and a high angle of attack..... centerfires (or a 5 foot handled spade swung haymaker style, with the blade hitting the water flat.....) will kill multiple carp with one shot......

You need direct hits with .22lr ....... and light refraction from the water makes this tricky the first few times.....

.... not that I am suggestin anyone do this ...... it is probably dangerous...... maybe illegal........


..... come to think of it, quite a few things I enjoyed as a "yout" were probably dangerous, illegal, or both.
 
german made ROG 22 revolver i believe....the gap on the cylinder to barrel was so bad that the gun had almost a 6 inch spread at 30 feet....it was a lead shaver alright!
 
The worst one for me was a Kahr PM9. It was one of the first ones when they firsdt came out. After I got it back from Kahr the 3rd time for FTFs and it still wouldn't feed properly, I ended up taking an angle grinder to it, cutting it up and tossing it in the trash.
 
Intratec Tec-22. Looked cool, would jam every other round, and when it jammed, it would take a round and bend it at a 90 degree angle.
 
I never bought a 'Hunk of junk'. The closest might be my Ruger Super Single Six. That ought tell you something, as it is a pretty darn good revolver.
 
A Colt Gov.mod silver satin,45ACP. 400 bucks extra work just to make it an OK pistol.:mad:

Then a 70 ser.Gold Cup thats not much better.:confused:
 
Llama Minimax .45. Turned out to be a reliable, but clunky pistol. Fit and finish looked like it was hand-fitted by a crosseyed drunk.
