What is the worst gun you have ever owned?

[Poper]

Even way below Super El Cheapo snubby .22LR DA revolver..RG brand don't remember the model. Could not hit a 9" paper plate beyond 2 Yds...thats right...6 FEET away.

Ditto.
I had a RG-14 as a kid 35+ years ago. Accuracy was non existant. After firing three cylinders, it rattled when you shook it. Pretty scary.
Sold it for $15, IIRC.

Sears Model 12

I have a Sears Model 12 Coach gun - it has a full choke and a short (but > 18.5") barrel. I stole it from a friend who said he was going to commit suicide. A few months later I told her that when she got better she could have it back - she told me to keep it - I got it appraised for $15.

The Kel-Tecs I bought and sold.

I used to have a Walther P22. Bought it because it looks awesome. But it was just awful! Trade it for a Wichester 9422 rifle and I'm happy with it.

Ruger 10/22 "target". Constant stove pipes and FTF's but at least it would shoot 2 MOA at 100 yards.

It must be the new models or aftermarket magazines. I got my 10/22 in 1978 and I do not remember it ever malfunctioning with the factory magazine. I don’t remember ever cleaning it either.

Heritage Arms .22 "Rough Rider", the first pistol I bought. Loads of misfires from a weak firing pin spring, couldn't get anything resembling a group out of it, and of course being a .22 couldn't stop anything other than snakes which it wasn't accurate enough to do. Swapped it for an Astra A-75 which is my carry gun to this day.

When I was a kid, my dad told me he would buy me a .22 of my choice. He strongly recommended the 10/22, but I (unwisely) insisted on the Remington Viper .22. It was awful. It failed to feed every other round. We took it back to Walmart the next day to exchange it for a 10/22, which I still have to this day and is a far superior rifle.

All of the guns I have ever owned were NIB, and I have only had one that I have sold and would never own again. My Walther PPK/S. I stood 8 feet from a target and couldn't hit the paper! Some went left, some went right, and the barrel was set, not floating... I couldn't trust my life to that, so it's gone.

Two bad guns. Both Rugers. And I LOVE all my other Rugers.

1) Ruger RSP 6". My first handgun. Last time I tried to clean that bastard I tore my thumbnail in half. Haven't cleaned it -- or even touched it -- in 25 years.

2) Very early Mini-14, I think it was serial number 007xx. Couldn't keep 10 rounds on a paper plate at 100 yards. Damn barrel would heat up and accuracy would go completely to hell. Sold it to a bud who scoped it, worked up a lot of special handloads, spent considerable range time, and still couldn't hit shi'ite with it.
