Worst handgun you've ever dealt with.

[Bats&Gats]

Mine was either a Sigma, or a Bryco/Jennings/Jimenez .380.

Praises Gadsden these weren't mine.

Raven .25. At one yard it wouldn't hit anything. The scariest thing about it was the sparks that flew out of the barrel when you fired.

 

[Sniper 79]

Jennings .22 turd

 

[x10]

the bryco 25, the sigma was pretty bad, the 70's winchester 22's the ithaca 22 singleshot lever action 22, basically any of the pot metal 70's 22 lr, the Hi-point 9mm

The worst handgun I've ever dealt with was a Smith and Wesson 642. On two separate occasions when I was firing it at the range the internal lock locked up on its own rendering the gun inoperable (couldn't pull the trigger or open the cylinder).

If the gun would have locked up like that in a life or death situation it could have cost someone their life.

I sent it back to S&W and they replaced it with a new one. After that I immediately sold it. I'll never own another S&W with an internal lock.

Whaaaaaaat?! How is it legal to sell crap like this?

If you use the RAVEN enough, it will become full auto for you...

Worst was a burned out nagant....bullet came out like a spirograph

 

[flintman50]

A Nagant is a handgun.

Taurus TCP!! Never loaded a round into the chamber from a magazine after being sent back multiple times. It was like sticking a 45 into a 9mm, the thing would not chamber!!

NAA 32, just a plain old hard gun to use, real crappy trigger, bought it and sold it the next week, wasen't even heavy enough to be used as a boat anchor!

 

[sig1473]

CZ 2075 in 40 or Taurus PT100.

 

[SAILORGOLF46]

A sigma 9mm about five yrs ago. Took it to the range first shoot it locked up could not move the slide back. Took back to lgs he got it apart cleaned it and deburred it and gave it back to me. Back to range same thing again, back to lgs he said it would take 200-300 rounds to break it in. I responed that at one shot at a time I would not live long enough to do that. Lgs sent bact to S&W they fixed and I sold quick.

you dont know piece of **** until you've taken apart a rohm rg 38

 

[rooster]

Sigma 9mm. Had a terrible trigger and the striker broke on the 97th round i fired from it. Sent it back to S&W to get it fixed and sold it as soon as i got it back.

Springfield EMP 9mm... Bought it used - not new.

The FP would pierce the primers on a few different kinds of ammo - then, upon retreating, would pull a sliver of primer cup with it. That would, in turn, bind up the travel of the FP leading to light strikes on subsequent shots.

Also - it didn't like steel-cased ammo.

Springfield 1911, could not hit the broadside of a barn with it. At 5 yard could not even hit paper. Turned me off on 1911's.

+1 for the Taurus TCP
I've had nothing but problems with mine

You could have sent it back to Springfield free of charge and they would have fixed it. Best customer service and warranty department that I have ever dealt with.

Taurus 709 slim. I wanted to like it, but not as much as I wanted it to work. It would FTFeed atleast 4 out of the 7 rnd mag regardless of ammo used. After a trip back to Taurus it would FTFeed 2-3 out of 7 rnds. So it went away.
