Great idea for a thread!
1) an EAA Witness Compact, 10mm. If you get a good one, you're going to be very, very happy. If not, like me, you can't get the darned thing to shoot an entire magazine without jamming, ever, no matter how many mags you buy, no matter how you adjust the springs (magazine and recoil), no matter what kind of ammo you use;
2) Taurus 85, aluminium framed jobby. It went "bang" every time, but it hurt me to shoot it, it never shot consistently to any particular point and it never shot to POA;
3) Smith & Wesson 296. Good gun, as in reliable. But I couldn't get it to shoot accurately, it hurt the web of my hand to shoot it, it didn't shoot to POA, the groups I shot out of it were very, very wide, I constantly shortstroked it (I have small hands and it wasn't made for a small-handed person), and it was too big (for me, anyway) for pocket carry.
