I went and researched all the worst gun threads from TFL and THR
All these guns mentioned only amount to anecdotal evidence at best.
I'm listing the winners/ loser by number of negative hits by manufacturer then the naming the specific gun that received the worst mentions.
Keep in mind that if Ruger gets more bad calls than Keltec remember Ruger sells 10 times what keltec does.
Ok here goes
Ruger 16 Mini 14 racked up the most entries.
Smith and Wesson 14 The Sigma had the most mentions.
AMT 11 Hardballer
Jennings 10 the .22 auto was the worst
Colt (10) Commanders
TEC (9) TEC9
Taurus (9) Pocket pistols
Lorcin (8)
Marlin (8) semi auto .22
Charter arms (8) Bulldog
Springfield 1911's (6)
Glock (6) model 22
Interarms PPK (5) 5 hits on the PPK
Highpoint (5) .45acp
Keltec (5) 9mm auto
Winchester (5) Model 70
Davis (5) derringer
Remington (4) the 597 gets special mention
Tied for (3) are grendel, FIE, RG, Astra, Llama, arminus, high standard,
norinco, para ord, phoenix arms and kimber.
YMMV
