Well I have, as mentioned before, a Taurus .45 Mill pro. In six months today for the first time I took it to my range. 5 magazines fire with 12 rounds each. I could not hit the target 25 yards away. Same complaint my two firends with different taurus 9mms. I thought may be I was just off target today. I loaded one mag of my colt 1911 .45 and 6 out of 6 within a couple of inches. I am not sure why is Taurus not hitting. One of my friend tells me that he tried from 10 feet and still could not hit!
 
I guess I've been lucky. I have a Taurus pt145, an AMT Backup .45, a Rossi .357 and two Kel-Tecs. The only problem I've had with any of them was an aftermarket mag for the AMT which spit its follower up out the ejection port.:eek:

The only bad gun I've ever encountered was a friend's Hi-Point 9mm which broke its trigger return on the First Round Fired. Unimpressive, but unlike some here I won't declare the entire line irredeemable junk because of one bad experience.
 
I guess since I have Luger P08, I am going to get me a Mauser 7.63 auto broomhandle!

Great thing to fire. Will have to look for one the stock as well.

No one seems to have problem with this old german machine pistol.

I inherited one of these from my grandfather. I'm not really sure why he had it but I guess he wasn't really an aficionado. I think he mostly wanted something cheap that wouldn't put him out of having more liquor.

Anyway, total piece of crap. Aside from just feeling damned cheap, it jammed constantly and I think the safest place to be if someone was shooting at you with one was in front of the muzzle. Needless to say, it's someone else's problem now. :barf:
 
On 60 min. No Less

The Lama .45 commander clone is the worst I have owned. My wife was selected to appear on a 60 min. story on women and handguns.
It jammed twice on national TV...... :rolleyes: True story!
 
Never had a really bad handgun as i researched before I buy. Most embarassing was my Detonics Pocket 9 I got March of 1984 for $395 NIB.
The first time OI shot it the bottom plate on the magazine fell off due to bad welds. Tried the other magazine...same thing happened. I brazed the plates on the mag and the gun worked just fine after that. The heavy pocket 9 was the smallest 9MM at the time. Because it was a blow back the recoil was a little more harsh than a Charter Arms Bulldog .44 in my opinion.

Let's see.

Lorcin 380. The magazine plate fell out when I loaded the gun along with the mag spring, follower, and ammo. Got a spare mag and it would jam every 2 rounds. It's a good thing these guys went out of business.

Grendel P-10. possibly the worst shooting piece I've ever owned.

Taurus pt 945. The mag would just pop out any time it felt like it. This gun truly had a mind of its' own.
 
I picked Taurus a buddie of mine has a (I don't know which model)single stack 9mm compact that has been nothing but trouble
 
High Standard Derringer

DM-101 .22 WMR
Looked nice. Fired 60% of the time. Sent it in to be repaired, cost @$100, no better.
