Ever had a pistol that just did not work for you???
If so what was it...
For me it seems to be the XDM9 I used to own. I suffered more failures and jams in that pistol with both factory ammo and reloads than any other pistol Ive owned.

My Jennings Firearms Bryco Model '59 9mm. I only got about 200 rounds full of jamming and issues before the take down button broke and the gun kinda blew apart. But it only cost me $40 so I guess I got my money's worth lol.

Ruger SR9C. It had some FTF/FTE issues, and then I had to send it back when I started getting light primer strikes. It seemed to work OK after Ruger replaced a bunch of parts, but I had lost trust in it as a carry gun, so I traded it in on an M&P. Best decision I ever made!

I stay away from Ruger SR9 and LCP. Each time I tried to rack the slide, my hand was cut.

Springfield EMP. Had to go back to the factory as soon as I took it home -- kept jamming on every magazine. They did some stuff, then it was flawless.....until it started jamming and giving me light primer strikes again.
It was nice to shoot when it worked.

I had major problems with a Para Carry 12 45. I took it home thinking I just bought my carry gun for life. After changing every spring, polishing the ramps and sending it to Para twice it simply would not run. Constant failure to go into battery and ftes. Big disappointment for sure.

TARURS PT945 semi auto & 66 Revolver PT945 just constant FTF, and FTE sent to factory returned with same problem ended up trading with a lot $ for a 96 DAO. 1980s Mod 66 Tarurus timing was off after 100 rounds of 357 mag cyclinder would spin after firing.
Tarurus has improved its QC I have a 24/7 thats flawless.Last edited by Neko456; July 13th, 2012 at 12:51 PM.

Taurus PT22. Not even useful as a paper weight because it made me sick to look at it. It was such a piece of junk that I felt like I was robbed of the $220 it cost me.
