A Colt AR-15. It was a hunk of j-u-n-k.
Ha! Yeppers I had one of those too. When I complained to the gun store where I bought it, and the guy asked me to describe what type of malfunctions and jams I was experiencing, I just told him to name one, because that piece of junk had done it. I too sold the gun at a loss, after burning through at least a dozen different types and brands of ammo trying to find one that gun would shoot.I had a Walter P22 that was complete junk, I sold it for a major loss to a gun store. That thing had every malfunction and jam I’ve ever seen
My p22 was superbly accurate, but it was also fragile. The slide broke. Gun shop I bought it from was where I took it to send it back to manufacturer. I then bought a sig mosquito which was the most accurate 22 semiauto pistol I have ever touched. It was one of those situations where it was an instinctual perfect fit, but it kept snapping extractors for some reason. I do regret those guns leaving my safe, but they were broken and/or unreliable so they did. My friend still has the mosquito and can’t hit squat with it. He can shoot well enough but he just can’t figure the gun out.I had a Walter P22 that was complete junk, I sold it for a major loss to a gun store. That thing had every malfunction and jam I’ve ever seen, it was worth more in smelt value than anything else.
Only regret there is that I ever bought it.

I have to ask - What is the basis for hating the Marlin 60? I think of mine as a simple , economical fun little shooter. Reasonably accurate and quite reliable ..... is mine an exception?In my case, it choked on everything. And I mean everything. Cheap ammo, target grade ammo. I'd fire 2-3 rounds then have a failure of some kind.
Ha! Ha! Neither do I. I store all of the holsters I don't like, or no longer need in empty popcorn tins. You know - the big cans full of buttered, cheese and caramel popcorn that you can find in the stores around Christmastime. They stack nicely in our basement.I'm also one of the few folks who doesn't have boxes or drawers full of holsters I don't like.
Im in the minority, I hated my Ruger LCR 38 but love my Taurus G2 millenium. Sold the LCR that had a boot grip. It would blister up my hand shooting it.
If you'd added an AMT Govt. as your third, you'd likely never want to see another 1911 in your lifetime, no matter how much you wanted to like them.The Llama would extract a good 60%-70% percent of the time, the commander always fired, but seemed to have a little hitch in its giddy up when returning to battery. Amazing I like the 1911 as much as I do considering those were my 1st two
Blasphemy! You'll smoke a turd in hell for that!A Colt AR-15. It was a hunk of j-u-n-k.

Likewise I had problems with my Kahr CW40, so much so that I kind of kept my distance from them for quite a few years. Then not that long ago I was looking for a micro 9mm. and was doing a side-by-side comparison of a Kahr CM9 and a Beretta Nano at the LGS. As much as I like other Beretta products, I just didn't care for the design and overall feel of the Nano. To me the CM9 was more ergonomic and had a great DAO trigger on it; just what I was looking for in a CCW pistol. So far I have to say getting the CM9 was the right choice then and still is today.
First one to mind: early Kel-Tec PF-9. The concept of a slim, almost pocketable 9mm pistol that is lighter than your wallet sounded great. However, I found it painful to shoot, difficult to hold on to and not very reliable. Got rid of it and haven't missed it since.
And I was just the opposite, I preferred the Nano after shooting the Kahr and like you, found it the right choice. That said, both are very nice pistols. However I think we are off thread on this. Not about preferences.
