Taurus pt111 It had pieces rattling around in it and it was a ***** to field strip.
I never attempted it.I sold it and the guy had to take it to a gunsmith to put it back together.Long,long,long trigger pull.Size was perfect though;too bad!

lorcin 9mm shot good but jammed every 3 rounds

It would have to be the Ruger mini 14 it funtioned well but very inaccurate.

Astra 357 just failed when parts broke.

A .22 "Luger" copy that fired whenever the trigger had been touched while on safety. Jammed every other clip. Traded and bought a Ruger .22 that has never jammed or failed me.

A S&W Chiefs Special in .40 that shot well but just never "fit" me. Issues with my fingers and safety. Sold it and bought a Springfield .45 that had had a little work done on it, its still here years later.

Ducktown side by side .45/410 derringer. The only remorse I had about getting rid of it is that some other poor fool would shoot it. If there ever was a gun worth less than it's scrap metal price. I kept it for years, hoping to donate it to some gun grabber for $50, but ultimately traded it in to get the safe space back. fwiw, it was impossible to move it from saftey without inspection. 7 of 10 times you could not pull the trigger. And when it did decide to fire, it usually drew blood (due to rough edges on the finger guard).

AMEN to that!!! I currently have one of these boogers and it is a pain (literally) to shoot...

Only one so far...

Springfield Armory Micro GI Mil-Spec - This gun had all SORTS of problems...FTF's, FTE's, and when it did feed right it would eject hot brass into my forehead. I traded it for a used HK USP Compact.

Hi-Point 45. Decent gun and reliable but I hated what a pain it was to break down...

Looks like the G23, Kel-tec, and Bersa is not the way to go; thanks for the heads up guys.

I don't miss my Mossberg 500, only because I only like tactical shotguns. The barrel on it was 23" which is too long for me, I only prefer 18".
