Biggest Piece of Crap!!

[Bman505]

One another thread we were discussing the P22 and found out that the P22 was a piece! So, I thought this would be a good topic and knowledge for everyone to know.

Which firearm have you owned, own or shot that is the biggest piece of crap! This is not to slam anyone for owning a piece of crap but for everyone to know what they might want to stay away from in the future.

Cobra .380 , ejection problems, jams. even a missfire. Had it for about 6mo. sold it to a guy at work along with a part of a box of ammo. Asked him later if he had fired it and said yes 3 boxes of ammo without a problem.

I suspect what you meant by the title is guns that we regret having owned.

I regret a few, but even those I regret I would hesitate to put in the thread "title" category. For calibration purposes, I would nominate the following gun as a true piece of junk, but even so, as a WWII collector item, it is worth an incredible amount.

I have not owned a "piece of crap" but have shot some. I think I mentioned this before, but years ago I had a shooting buddy who bough cheap (inexpensive) revolvers. They were Harrington & Richardsons and Iver Johnsons. They were total junk. I was shooting Smith & Wessons and Colts and there just was no comparison. Now, I don't know if his guns were junk as a rule, or if his particular ones were but they were miserable. The action would jam, and even at best they were difficult to work.

My apologies to anyone who owns these brands and like them. My limited experience was not so good.

Once I owned a F.I.E. Titan II .380 for some reason or other and it seemed well made but it was just a paper-weight in my opin~yon, every other round was a smoke-stack or FTF or something that would get you killed!
Heck, I've had way better luck with a Davis or Lorcin and even a $2 Raven as far as it was concerned.
It seems to me in my limited experience that all bottom-shelf poppers are literally hit or miss, meaning one will shoot 99% of the time and the other about 9%.
Once I had 2 identical Jennings 9mm. and one shot and feed with no problems what so ever but the other had the firing pin shaft drilled so far out of center that most strikes just made a slight ding on one side of the primer that it would just fail to ignite!
That's what I get for shopping in the dumpster -nuth'in but garbaze!

Smith & Wesson SW9VE (9mm Sigma), absolutely the worst trigger ever. If you just blasted away, it was OK, if you squeezed it slowly, it wouldn't fire. On the plus side however, it completely got me off plastic guns. :)

I had a Sigma .40 as my first handgun. It is ok for a new $399 firearm. But, I will agree with you. The trigger on them aren't very good and it wouldn't feed HP. I sold it a few years ago for $300 and got me my Beretta PX4 SC.

One of the first pistols I ever owned was a Jennings .22
Absolute junk. It looked decent but was a jam-o-matic...

I agree with Tucson. A number of years ago I took a Jennings .22 from my daughter to compensate for a debt she owed me. I lost! Sometimes I am lucky to get two shots in a row out before it jams.:(

Must not have been much of a debt Deacon:D

Absolute worst was a new Python I got in 1980, spit and shaved, the sight wouldn't hold zero and it had a rough chamber, that wouldn't turn loose of a 357.
Swapped it for a model 28, still have the 28.
