    Everyone names the top shelf stuff. But name the worst you've owned. For me I had a Lorcin 9mm. Was unique when the safety was applied on a loaded chamber the weapon fired. Everytime!!!

    RG .22 revolver. The frame let go of the barrel and it still shot just as good.

    Jennings J-22. Two or three jams every magazine.

    Actually, when loading the mag with three rounds only, it was reliable and steady. Any more, and it was almost not shootable due to the aggravation. Nickel plated zinc............

    Another vote for the PF9. Not only did it like to drop mags when shooting but it had a false reset that clicked like it had reset, yet that was just the first reset click. Plus, it felt like you were setting fireworks off in your hand when you shot it. I sold it but truth be told, I would have paid them to take it had they asked.

    Id have to go with pmr30. Was a blast to shoot but unfortunately you could rarely run a full mag without a jam of some sort, which took most the fun out of it

    Llama pseudo sort of 1911 style gun in 9mm. Jamomatic with a plastic safety plunger spring cover that broke apart. Had more sharp edges than a Chinese throwing star and would shred you when you field stripped t.

    I had a Davis derringer in .38 Special for a while. The grip comfort of a micro .380 without the weight savings or the ammo capacity. Add to that it was single-action with a 15-pound trigger and what have have there is a gun that I overpaid for when I gave $85.

    Remington R51 absolutely the worst gun I've ever owned. Constantly jammed, the rear sight drifted all the way out of the gun, but the worst thing is it would fire out of battery. They did send me an r1 1911 for a replacement though.

    Colt Python. Action too delicate for shooting any volume. Bore diameter was overcut. Cylinder chambers varied. However it was a pretty gun. I soon discovered why you never see them in competition. Not shooters. Just for looking at. My cheap model 10 ran circles around this junk.

    Thought I would list an American made gun as the fore mentioned imports hold true to substandard.

    My real tree was not a long lived piece either. Spent a lot of time in the shop. Would never stay in time. I have no idea why they command the money they do these days.
