i have a remington 700BDL in .308, and the only thing i did was put a new scope on it when grandpa gave it to me. sighted it in one afternoon, put three rounds on the X, covered them with a nickel. i have zero issues with mine.

i really don't have any worst guns, i buy quality because it is so rare i can get a new gun i have to make a great purchase. however, the worst gun i ever fired was my ex-girlfriend's little .25, that thing put rounds everywhere except where i pointed it. never jammed on me but wouldn't hit the broadside of the barn. don't remember what brand it was. i advised her to get a new gun, especially living in an apartment complex in houston.(we weren't 'together' when i shot the thing')

I'd hate to say this but my Ruger MK II is not what I expected. It was my second hand gun (first was a S&W M686) and nothing but problems since. The feed ramp is too steep and FTF were common. Probabley every 25 rounds. Ruger CS said to send it to them but shipping a firearm is tricky in NJ. Sorry to all you Ruger fans out there.

Raven .25 auto. More effective when thrown at the BG.

Walther P22. I've never owned a handgun/rifle/shotgun/anything that's as picky about ammo as this thing. So far, the only ammunition I've been able to shoot with it is CCI Mini-mag. The rest won't even fire. Even the CCI regularly fails to feed (often ending bullet pointing up sticking out of the semi-closed slide.)

I'm pretty sure the feed issues are magazine related, but the slide seems to "stick" a bit if I don't let it slam closed from the fully open position, and in fact will sit at the half-racked position without closing. Second spring.

I've got *one* good magazine that'll work decently (only one feed issue per 50 shots or so), and the CCI mini-mags will generally go bang - but as far as I am concerned, this is terrible reliability. Not a maintenence issue, and I've heard many simular reports concerning the P22, some magazines, and ammunition pickiness in general.

Contrast that with my XD45c - never had a FTF, FTE, or any such problem. I've fed it everything from WWB to Blazer to Atlanta Arms reloads to +P SD loads. This is what I *expect* from a gun, and the P22 is on the opposite end of the spectrum.

the p22 is a picky SOB, but i use federal other than the ci's and it works a little better but not as much punch as the cci's, and the slide thing is something covered in waltherforums. ill try and dig it up later when i have more time and pm it to you unless someone else is interested

S&W model 10 bought in the early 80's. Right out of the box it wouldn't work after 5 shots. Smith fixed it, broke again after about the same number of shots.

I thought of another gun. My Glock Model 26. I could not get that gun to shoot a tight group to save my life. I figured it was me, so I had 5 other guys shoot it. Well none of us could shoot a tight group. So I tried to sell it - no one wanted to buy it. Go figure.

I don't like Glocks! I know a lot of folks do like Glocks and they do very well with them. Not me. I like my XD 45 ACP. It shoots well, very well, and it feeds everything I've put through it very well!

Kahr CW9 is the worst gun in my collection. Damn thing is such a picky eater.
