Here’s a nice one for ya. Would really love to have one myself. The dreaded Swarm of Angry Bees (Edited to update YT link)
Taurus PT111. Impulse buy waaaayy back in the day. Learned a long time ago to just stick to Glocks.
Neat Rifle! However I do not think it would be my least favorite gun if I bought one!
Ok here we go friend had this thing stored in the back of the safe and I bought it for $50 bucks with the original embroidered pistol case and manuals. It’s a Grendel 380 pistol is a precursor of the KelTec brand. Pistol has a integral magazine and loads with a stripper clip but the real reason is it has the worst grip design ever pistol holds 11 rounds so it’s not that small but recoil is horrible I would rather shoot my 357 mag super lightweight snubnose with full house 357 defensive loads then this gem. needless to say it’s now on the trade pile.
A PTR-91 that was given to me has caused me more time and frustration than if I had never owned it!!! Never again!!
Anything glock
Bernalillo County, New Mexico Sheriffs Office SWAT used those and did a shoot house demonstration for the county board demonstrating exactly what you are describing. The board saw the accuracy issues that got worse as the barrels heated up and approved money for a better weapon system.
Imagine trying to control your full auto accuracy with no can on one of those chambered in .45 ACP… Not a fun gun to shoot.
I purchased a Ruger P94 (.40 S&W) in 1994. I would have preferred to carry a typewriter.
Long DA trigger pull, limited magazine capacity and as I mentioned, extremely heavy. That was one gun that I don’t ever regret selling.
Springfield XDs 3.3 .45 ACP Mod. 1. At the time it got lots of hype as the concealed carry gun of the moment (like all concealed carry guns of the moment). Came with a five round magazine that meant that nearly any sized hand that shot it did not have a pinky on the grip. The tiny gun with no place for a pinky was literally painful to shoot. The tiny design also created other issues, the worst of which was the tendency for a round to lodge against the ejector rod if you didn’t yank the slide back in one deft, powerful maneuver when trying to clear the firearm for cleaning or unloading. That rod sometimes used to lodge right on the primer of the stuck bullet, which created a mild sense of terror in me as I imagined second and third-degree burns, and lots of unwanted attention from the Authorities if I wasn’t able to clear the jam just right…
After running fewer than 300 rounds through the thing, the trigger broke, which Springfield cheerfully replaced as a warranty issue (this apparently was a fairly common occurrence in the first version). That broken trigger incident seriously eroded my confidence in the firearm as a reliable EDC.
It shot accurate as hell, but it was painful to shoot and held a paltry number of rounds. Using the higher capacity magazines they developed for the pistol greatly hindered its concealability. I finally found that Federal 165 grain Hydroshoks were a more comfortable round to fire from the thing. Those rounds also performed nearly ballistically perfect out of the 3.3 inch barrel.
But by then a number of better options for concealed carry were released by a number of other manufacturers, so I retired mine after shooting a grand total of about 1K rounds through it.
I did manage to put three out of three rounds into the kill zone at 50 yards while using the tiny XDs in a competition once, and that was a proud moment. But other than that, it remains as probably the only pistol I own that I regard with slight revulsion and a case of buyer’s remorse.
For what it’s worth, I own other Springfields that I hold in much higher regard.
Where do you think I gained my insight from
I disliked the UZI and Thompson because they were soooo bloody heavy but they were an absolute joy to shoot compared to a MAC.

But Arnold carried one in “True Lies!” if that’s not an endorsement, I don’t know what is!
My least favorite gun is the one pointed at me!
@Todd30 Indeed,
You know for some reason I’ve never been a fan of pistol caliber AR platforms. Even purpose built ones as above. If I’m going to go through all the hassle of carrying something that big it might as well be full flavored. Just me, YRMV.

For me it was the Keltec P-11. The size was good for a carry gun but I hated shooting it. The trigger felt like it was weak too.
The S&W bodyguard 380 w/ built in green laser. Bought it for my tiny wife. The trigger is horrible, it’s paper thin & isn’t fun to shoot AT ALL!
I got mine one of those then we went in and got a Sig P-365.
Same here. Wife hated it, then went to safe and took one of my .45’s
