Some of the large gun company's products they realize will not be shot much. After all, the majority of the gun buyers may purchase a firearm, shoot it a couple of times, then place it in the nightstand drawer. So IMO quality is cut back on.

Kel-Tec .380 - Bought it brand new. It was a jam-o-matic from day one. Wouldn't fire more than three rounds without a malfuntion, even after their recomended 200 round "break in period". Went back to the factory three times before it would go through a full mag without a failure.
I had ZERO faith in the gun by that point and sold it CHEAP to a friend that knew the history, but still wanted it.

I had an old garage built 1911 and at another point an old Winchester (?) Bolt 22 and neither would work. I pulverized both with a heavy sledge hammer and threw them away in separate bags. It was a great time.
I also bought a Speedmaster and a S&W 36 from well respected members of this board. I didn't fire them for a few months. Both were broken. Both members had to know they were selling me broken guns. I put both on my ignore list. The 36 required two trips to two separate gunsmiths to fix. I shot 50 rounds thru it and told the person I sold it to the story and sold it cheap. It worked great. The Speedmaster went to the gunsmith, still jammed, went back. I sold it for $150 with the story. I paid 375 for it and likely another $75 to the smith.
****ers.

Only thing worse than a tec 22 is a tec 9 so I hear. The original ghetto blaster. Thugs love them and so do cops because they know the bad guy is only going to get to shoot once.
I believe all brand's have their pos categories!
I did that with a benelli shotgun that cracked the bolt one time. 1400 dollar gun I couldn't get a replacement bolt for and I still have pieces of it in my closet.
I remember you were having a bad run there for awhile.
I've never had a bad gun except a S&W 459 that I busted.
I should have put a little lube on it, it was in the safe, in the case, for a lot of years.
First round the extractor flew off.
Found all the pieces I needed from Brownell's except the spring.
I brought it to a gunsmith, he never charged me a dime, but we could never get that spring right over many tries, it would still sometime fail to extract.
Traded it at a gun show to a dealer for $300 on a new Beretta PX4 in 9.
I did tell him that sometimes it would fail to extract.
Guess I've been lucky.....
Don't believe it. I have a first gen Keltec sub2k in 9mm and it runs like a sewing machine. I've shot it in many pistol caliber 3 gun matches it eats anything I put in it, it has never ever failed in any way.
Love that it uses the Glock mags.
