What is the worst gun you own?

Favorite Answer

oooh! good question. I would have to say my taurus pt22 .22lr semi-auto was the worst by far of all guns I have ever owned. it jammed,failed to fire constantly, and parts fell off it. it was a complete waste of $250. coming in a close second was my taurus pt99 9mm semi auto that jammed also. I will never trust taurus as far as their semi-auto's go....Show more

The worst gun I've ever owned was a Mossberg Silver Reserve O/U in 28 ga. It always functioned, it worked fine. But the fit and finish/worksmanship was terrible, poor balance...I must have been drunk when I bought it. I wanted a compact shotgun for the woods, and it was. But I couldn't get over the worksmanship, and it wasn't worth what I paid for it. I sold it. Mossberg's pumps are a great value, their over/unders aren't.

The worst functioning gun I've ever had was a Springfield Armory Loaded M1911. That thing would jam once or twice a magazine. I sent it back to SA, it came back barely any better. I had to fix it myself (locally), then I sold it out of sheer frustration. I shouldn't have sold it, it was a great shooter once it functioned correctly. No one else I know personally who has a SA 1911 has had any major problems, I just got the last one off the line on a Friday afternoon I guess. I'd buy another SA 1911.

The worst gun that I currently own is a Mosin Nagant 91/30...But "it's not a bad gun," it's just the least valuable, least finished gun that I currently own. It always functions and fires, and though it's not the most accurate rifle out there, it makes hits on target. I think that it's probably the most rugged gun that I own. Numbers matching, great bore...Not bad for $80....Show more

It's hard to believe, but I once bought a Beretta 92FS in 9mm that was the absolute worst. The first time I took it to the range, the magazine kept falling out of the gun every 3 to 4 shots. A friend told me that maybe I was holding it wrong and accidentally touching the mag release button on the side. So, I went to the pistol range with my friend and tried different ways of holding it. Again, the mag kept falling out for the both of us, no matter how we held the gun.

After I returned the pistol to the gunshop for repair work, I got it back 2 whole months later. Only to find that the problem was not fixed. I finally gave-up and the gunshop owner agreed to exchange the slightly used Beretta for another new gun. He gave me 10% less in credit than I paid for the gun, which was about $45 back then, but I thought I needed to get rid of that lemon and buy a gun that actually worked....Show more

The 12 gauge Imperial single shot. I bought it when I was just getting into collecting [almost two years ago, I've learned a lot since then]. Well I didn't bring my grandpa with me to double check and give me the go ahead. Well it locked up looser then a whore's lady part. I took it to my cousin's machine shop and it was tight for a while then it got loose again, after that I took it to a gunsmith he locked it up and it sat. Then I took it out again and after about fifty rounds of Winchester bulk 12 gauge #6 shot from Wal-Mart, I felt it getting loose again. I just cut the barrel to twenty inches and hung on my wall as a mock up coach gun. I could never find any information it, It does have a serial number in the lower 1000s so others were made. Any way like I said it just hangs on the wall and collects dust. I might run some patches down the barrel once a blue moon....Show more

I honestly have never bought a gun that I don't love. I don't like the Troy Industry iron sites on my Ruger SR-556 but I like the rest of the gun.

In the shop there's an old Crosman BB gun sitting on the bench next to a .22 LR rifle that someone dismantled and gave to me after they couldn't put it back together. Some pieces are missing so I never messed with it. Either one of those would be my worst guns....Show more
