AK-47.
I bought a converted Russian Saiga. It worked just fine. I hated it. Pointed like a boat oar, gay TAPCO trigger was super wonky. Charging handle is on the wrong side. Sights suck. No muzzle device so it was blinding to shoot at night. I could have fixed the last 2 but what is the point? I sold it a few weeks after buying it. AK's belong in the garbage |

We'll see Bill, the Lone Wolf was in stock KKM was not. The barrel should be in my mailbox now. If I get the chance, I'll try it this afternoon. |

After watching all the reviews about the Maxim 9 when it was released I had a fever to buy one but couldn't justify the cost at the time. Later SiCo has their bogo deal and that put me over the edge on my internal debate and I bought one. My first issue is that the trigger is horrendous. Trigger is mushy with no real clean break. The second issue is that it had light primer strike issues with SRP reloads. Only pistol that I own that has this issue. I know that part is more my issue than a platform complaint.
I think I've fired maybe 500 rounds through it and I can't bring myself to bring it to the range other than when friends want to shoot it. I haven't brought it out of my safe in almost 2 years and I wish I didn't sink $1300 into a gun that I will never get anything near it back if I choose to sell. |

Honestly there probably wasn’t anything wrong with the gun, it’s just not what I wanted and I shouldn’t have bought it. I was never satisfied with it and traded it off. I was bummed because it was my first gun purchase after I turned 18. @SethP |

At least they have low capacity and are expensive. I never bought a kimber, but the rest is right on here too. PPK is garbage too for the same reasons. |

Bought a used Ruger Mark III that was fun, and very accurate, but it hung up on the first round if I didn't manually tip it up before inserting the mag. Not the end of the world, but it bugged me enough that I sold it (disclosing the issue).
Beretta m9a1. Great shooting gun, but the machining is really rough on mine. I think of Beretta as a pretty gun, so this was a drag. Considered selling it, but I've made my peace. |

-Glock pistols (specifically the 19-the G40 was better). Sigs and CZs are both more reliable, staple gun triggers are worse than the DA pull on either of the aforementioned, and the magazines kind of suck too.
-Remington 597. I can't remember ever getting through an entire magazine without at least one, but usually close to 5, malfunction-usually FTFs and FTEs. Got it for Christmas as a kid, and sold it to a coworker a while back for $50 with a full disclosure of the reliability issues. He's been happy with it but just uses it for squirrel hunting. -ARs aren't really bad, but they're boring and do nothing for me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: CZ vz. 52 pistol. If you look out on the wide expanse of the Internet, you will find people extoling the virtues of the vz. 52 pistol, and how it is oh so superior to the mundane TT-33. Don't listen to them. It is a bizarre pistol with ergonomics designed for nobody, an operating system that had never been used on a handgun before and would never be used on one again, and which has issues with poor metallurgy on important parts of the gun. Poor quality rollers flatten out and trash the barrel. Firing pin breaks at the drop of a hat. The decocker becomes unreliable and turns into a second trigger. And yes, you read that right, it's an SAO handgun with a decocker. Why? Who knows. I can only assume the Czech designer of this gun was on some serious drugs. As a historical collectible, it has value. If you just want to shoot 7.62x25, go buy a TT-33 variant and don't look back. I chose it over a TT-33 because CZ 52s don't have retarded import safeties. |

Thx to COD I bought a Kriss Vector SDP-SB and use it with my Sig Sauer SRD-45 suppressor. She is a looker at the local gun range and shoots really well at a rate of 1 rd per sec. Anything faster and she jams. Also had problems with the charging handle fully seating. Cleaning is also very tideous. Love the looks, hate the reliability.

PTR91. I really wanted to like it but mine was a lemon. The mag catch was cut out of spec which seated the mag low enough to cause bolt-over malfunctions as mag spring pressure decreased. It would shoot fine until round 16 then it wouldn’t even chamber a round. I sent it back to the factory twice and they refused to fix it.
I ended up selling it at a loss to a guy who said he could fix it. I was extremely happy to see that gun go. In general, a gun must possess the following or I won’t keep it: - accurate - reliable - comfortable (ergonomic I guess) |

AKM underfolder, built by that chomo at Red Jacket on a Russian Saiga. A blind monkey could’ve done a better job. Underfolder wouldn’t lock in in closed position, front sight was canted bad enough to be off paper at 25, and the AK-74 style comp was off enough to shave copper. Talked to that freak by phone and he tried to fix the rifle, before finally refunding me my money.

Not too many “disappointments”
I suppose a Century UC9 semi-auto UZI. I purchased it based on good reviews hoping it would be a good SBR candidate. However, it was a perpetual 98% gun. Despite a lot of effort and expense, it would ALWAYS jam 2X with 2 boxes of ammunition. They were soft jams but is was annoying enough that I wasn’t going to stamp it. I sold it, with full disclosure, for a tidy profit during the latest panic buy in 2020. I ended up SBRing a IMI model A. Runs flawlessly and suppresses well with my Gemtech MOSSAD. I also have a Group/Vector full-auto UZI as well. I bought it when they were $3,500. I guess my greatest “disappointment” was a MAS 49/56 that Century thoughtfully converted from 7.5 French to .308Win. Unfortunately, they fucked that up so bad that they “converted” it into a single-shot rifle  . I ended up trading that straight-up for an unmolested S&W Victory revolver in .38/200 to a guy who insisted he knew how to make that Century abortion run right. I sure as Hell hope he did  Century seems to be a common denominator

Ruger Redhawk .44 5.5”.
I really loved the look and feel. After 250 rounds of .44 mag and special, I couldn’t group for shit. Like.. always 6” groups at 10yards, which is way worse than anything I’ve done with a 629, 329pd. I had the action worked on, and the trigger became smooth as butter. Great. Same old shit groups. I sold it at a loss. |

I thought I was going to love that thing, and it ended up being very unreliable. Sold it within a couple years. Ruger Alaskan in 454 casull. Sounded like a good idea at the time when I bought it. It was no fun to shoot and hard to be accurate with. Ammo was expensive, though you didn't want to shoot more than a box of 20 in one sitting. Shooting 45 LC was ok out of it, but what's the point when a smaller revolver can do it better. I really didn't have a good reason to own it to begin with since I wasn't hiking in bear country or anything. Also worth noting was that sometimes the recoil would cause crimp jump which would lock up the cylinder. Took some finessing to free it up. Ending up selling it to a work buddy a couple years later. Good riddance. If I want something to fulfill that role in the future, I'll go with a 10mm with hard cast rounds. |

It was so inaccurate I couldn't even print from 25 yards. Brought it in to 10 yards, flyers all over the place. What a huge disappointment. At least it was cheap. |

As I mentioned earlier number 1 is SIG mosquito for obvious reasons.
2 is my semi auto UZI. It ran fine but is huge and heavy with an awkward 16 inch barrel, terrible ergos, and shitty sights. Sold it during sandy hook for $$$. Next is any XDM or Springfield 1911. One I really wanted to love was the 5906. Classic looks and built like a tank. Heavy, not very accurate, and the grip is way too thick. Sold during covid for $$$. I'd add mini 14, my 1st was an inaccurate jamomatic POS. But I got a good deal on a new stainless one and it runs even with steal and is accurate. Final one is a KIMBER TLE 2. Beautiful gun but it ejected the casings right back into my forehead every time and would jam periodically with hollow points. Last is a Remington R25 in 308. Wanted an AR10 soooo bad. But the Remington was such a lemon. It was very accurate but would double feed, jam, fail to go into battery, or break cases that it completely 100% crap. |
