Taurus model 44. Wasn't a bad gun, per se, but that thing was miserable to shoot. 6 1/2", ported, stainless. Recoil was brutal. Felt like catching a MLB fastball with no mitt. Was glad to see that thing go.

That was After sending it back to S&W for the recall!
I posted it for sale on Calguns and it sold in one day. I actually tried to talk the guy out of buying it, saying it always jammed and what a headache it was. He insisted he was not a shooter and he just wanted to collect different versions of 007 guns (he only needed a PPK/S) and the price was right. So we both walked away happy. I got out of the gun with a minor loss (time and money) and he got a fancy paperweight wallflower.

Oops, LCP got replaced by a Rock Island compact .45. Still junk after 6 weeks back at Armscour, luckily my LGS refunded all my money.

Taurus Tracker 992 22LR/22M. Didn't like the finish, the grip, the front sight was crooked and it ended up sitting in the safe unused. In it's defense it always performed without any lockups or issues. Just not happy with it. In fairness I should say it was the "least favorite handgun I've ever owned" instead of "worst." Traded it off on an SP101 and couldn't be happier!

I will join Crazy Carl, Waveform, and sam colt: Taurus 44. Indeed, it fell apart in my hands after about a dozen rounds at the range. It went back 3 times to Taurus, finally replaced with a new gun... Which the LGS kept for inventory and sold me my first Redhawk (wonderful revolver).
I found the service, insults and attitude even worse than the frustration and disappointment with the firearm. Glad it is gone and will never buy a Taurus again!!

This wasn't my gun, it belonged to a friend who didn't shoot it, but I used to try to target shoot with it. It was a .25 Auto, I can't remember who the manufacture was, probably POS Firearms, Inc..
However, when firing, or what should be "firing", it would not feed right, hang ups by the dozens, and more damaged unfired rounds lying on the ground then fired rounds through the target. I couldn't hit a garage door if I threw the gun at it, (that's an accuracy report).
I broke the gun down cleaned it, oiled it, cleaned again, checked for burrs, etc. still no improvement. So I let my friend have his gun back, with a smile.
I wish I could remember the brand name so I could warn ya's...but I can't recall. This was back in the late seventies.

Beretta Tomcat .32 I bought in the late 80's. I have large hands and the Tomcat had a very small tang on it, and the rear of the slide is needle sharp. I fired one round and the slide split the web of my hand open. I have a collection of old .25 vest pockets that are smaller than that Tomcat, but never bit me like that. I hope they have redesigned it since then.....

Any gun made by Raven. I am amazed at how many of these total POS guns are being advertised at $175 now, even though they were everywhere for $65 new when still being made. Apparently, once feces hardens it becomes worth more.
Second would be a Taurus .22 Tracker. Damn thing spit lead so bad you needed to be in full battle dress with goggles to shoot the thing.

I have a Lorcin .380 that I cannot seem to get rid of. I think this is the worse thing that I've ever owned....
At least it was a gift.
