What is your least favorite firearm you’ve ever owned or been issued?

[sambo77]

Purchased would have to be a Springfield xds or sig p250, I couldn't shoot either one very well and didn't like them as much sd I had expected.

Issued would be a s&w 5903. It was such an old worn out POS I swear it shot better dirty, the night sights were so dim they might as well had been regular sights, and the decocked DA policy my old department had sucked pulling that long heavy trigger for the first round.

I understand, sometimes people overlook the obvious. I would be willing to bet someone uses these as a range gun. There was a time all I had was a model 60. But I could shoot coke cans @ 50'

It could be argued that if a gun is so unpleasant to shoot that the owner doesn’t train with it, it’s also a bad gun to carry.

If they hated it, I don’t blame them. They DO suck to shoot

Gonna prolly get flamed but a Ruger mark 3. Couldnt get rid of that one fast enough.

Why cause of the take down to clean it? The mark IV is so much better in that regard.

Diamondback DB9 - great for carry but recoil for a pocket 9 made shooting a .38 air weight not seem so bad and still not as reliable as an air weight.

I can attest to this scenario. Bought a Smith 329PD. Gorgeous piece, great fit and feel. Quality all around. Absolutely loved everything but shooting it. Brutal and pain inflicting with every round. Didn’t matter whether it was specials or mags. Hated to get rid of it but knew I’d never practice with it.

Taurus GX4. Nothing but trouble out of it from the trigger pin not being set from the factory to the front site falling off after every few rounds. Nope.

The model 60 is a great gun!

Worst gun I've personally owned? Beretta 96 Brigadier Inox
Bought new and the slide release snapped off at the frame while shooting it for the first time, didn't even get through one mag of ammo. Still functioned but couldn't lock slide back. Hated everything about that gun except for the looks. I've owned a Bersa Thunder 380 and still hate that Beretta more.

Worst gun ever issued to me? Old, worn out, sloppy loose, Beretta M9. Absolute garbage.

Between those two, I'll never own another Beretta product that isn't a shotgun.

Hated flying with a 38 revolver. Yes I am dating myself

A worn out Colt 1911 .45acp to qualify with in Navy bootcamp. Flintlock muskets had better barrels than that rattley POS.

I must have been issued the same pistol in 1969 to qualify after being promoted to Sergeant.
