    Luckily, I've been able to avoid most of the bad ones due to the misfortune of others (thanks guys).

    Unfortunately, I had two that I couldn't stand. One was a Cobray Mac-11. I bought it because I thought it looked like something for fun. It wasn't. At all. It sucked. Bye-bye!

    The other was an SKS. I hated it and it hated me. I don't think I was ever able to fire a full mag without a FTF or FTE. The kicker was that it only did it for me. If someone else shot it, it ran great. I tried all sorts of different shooting techniques thinking it was user error but could never figure it out.

    The best part? I sold them both for a profit. I probably made close to $300 on them both.

    Both Beretta's that I've owned, I think Beretta is Italian for "mile long trigger pull".

    That's funny. The M1A/M14 is probably the most reliable, accurate, battle rifle ever made. I also have a Springfield 1911 that I would put against your handgun any day of the week for reliability.

    I didn't say yours were junk, I just said the ones I had were. The stainless 1911 I had would jam about every 3rd round (bought brand new), the parkerized one would only jam about 1 round every other mag. All of these were around '05 and '06 and '07, not sure if they just had a bad few years or what, but I'll never own another springfield.

    That being said, my dad has had a springfield 1911 since I was a little kid, and he never cleans it, literally. I cleaned it for him once, and that thing has never had a problem once.
