Everything with a high dollar pricetag is not great. I said I don't buy cheap guns. Cheap is far more than just price. I do have a Kimber TLE II 1911 that is a fantastic firearm though...
I bought a Kimber Grand Raptor, one of Kimbers finest. You couldn't hit yer truck with it at 50 yds unless you had a good throwing arm. A major piece of junk. I sent it back and their "customer service" department said there was nothing wrong it. I took it to a local smitty that works on competition 1911's and right off he said a complete moron could see what was wrong with it. He took it in the back and came back with it 10 minutes later and it now will shoot well under an inch at 25 yds from bags. Not being a 1911 kinda guy I have no clue what he did to it but it shoots better than most men are capable. The "target" trigger still has some creep but isn't bad once you get accustom to it. Considering the MIM parts and the barrels are made by S&W, they're hardly worth the price.
I still have an old Mossberg shotgun from the 1970's. Yeah, it's a rattle trap, no doubt, but it still shoots with the best of them. It's a favorite but then again, I'm partial to the OLD single shot break open shotguns. I've got the high dollar O&Us in the vault but when hunting comes around, it's the old single shots that get to go.
I just thought of another junker I have, a Remington 742 in 3006. Built on the 870 shotgun action, you can't keep the thing shooting in the same area more than once. Like a shotgun, it shoots patterns, not groups...even with open sights. I'd use it for a tent stake but my long gone dad gave it to me back in the 1960's. It has less than 100 rounds thru it.
I own a Hi-Point 995 carbine whose bolt carrier was never tapped to screw in the charging handle so you have to stick it in and hold it in place when you put in a fresh magazine.
That's pretty annoying.
Hi Point has an excellent warranty you know. You should have sent it back and they would have repaired it for free PLUS sent you a mag or 2 for your troubles.

Yeah, I just never got around to it. I will one day...
AMT .380 the absolute supreme p.o.s. I am embarrassed enough to admit owning!
There were two versions of the AMT 380, the original single action, and later DAO (I believe probably came out around 1993-ish) I had one of the old versions and never shot it much. At the time I bought it, it was the smallest .380 I could find, but I solld it off.
I bought a couple of the DAO's and shot them quite a bit--never a malfunction. But one of them developed a crack in the slided which I saw at the end of my shooting session (and it never malfed even with the crack). I sent it back and they replaced it free of charge. I still have them stored away. I still like them but they are heavy for a pocket gun by today's standards.
Titan .25 ACP. It would fire every time you chambered a round. Exciting little POS.
