The Worst Gun You Ever Owned Thread

Post by OakRidgeStars »

We've talked about old guns and ugly guns, but what was the worst piece of crap you ever squeezed the trigger on?

I'll go first: An S&W 645 that I bought used around 6 years ago. I swear every time I fired the dang thing, some part would fall or fly off it. It would jam on everything except the most expensive ammo (45acp) available and the trigger pull tension would change on a daily basis. I finally traded it to a dealer for a shotgun.

I know someone who may or may not own a pre-ban Tech9. I can't believe they call these assault pistols. You would be lucky to get off 2 shots without it jamming. It would be more dangerous to throw the pistol at the BG and use the 30 round magazines as clubs.

Without a doubt it was a Ruger Blackhawk .44 magnum with a 4 5/8" barrel. HUGE muzzle blast and a SEVERE recoil. I have an identical gun in .357 magnum and one in .44 with a 7 1/2" barrel and like them, but that short barreled on is NOT fun to shoot! :thumbsdown:

A Hungarian POS in 9x18! I kept it probably 3 days... and hated EVERYTHING about it!

It was a Walther knockoff, and it was awful!

I got to fire some Czeck 9 x 18 POS pistol with plastic grips that rattled if you swung it around to quickly...
i fired it twice, the first round key holed, and the second casing stovepiped, and i handed it back...

nasty nasty POS...
Be particular, and be vigilant, as the enemy will only attack on two occasions:
When you're ready or when you're not ready.

Also never forget, that everyone who shows up, is not necessarily there to help.

I agree with wildbill44. My dad passed me down a short Super Blackhawk in 44mag. It doesnt make it out to the range much but it is fun seeing the look on peoples faces when that thing goes off, especially at a indoor range. Its a beast to hold on to also.
