    Early FN FNP-45 had quite a few "dead" trigger pulls and some FTE turned me off to it quite quickly. I tried a lot of different non-invasive things i.e. new mags, different ammo, different lube, different shooter etc.etc. Nothing worked and the problems kept happening at various times. After calling FN-USA for assistance & factory repair (parts are non existent outside of the factory BTW) it worked well for about 8 months then back to dead trigger pulls on live rounds. Mind you this was all with factory fresh ammo from the big guys (Winchester, Federal, Remington, Speer) purchased from various vendors. Went back to factory which at that point was offered an FNX as replacement. I took it,never cranked off a round with it and sold it NIB a month later on to a guy and told him exactly why.

    My 2011 Blue Label Gen 4 Glock 34. The 34 was completely unreliable due to constant ejection issues. When it wouldn’t stovepipe it would eject brass to the face. I replaced the RSA with no change. Replaced every spring, and trigger housing to the latest ejector with seemingly zero effect.

    I installed the Apex extractor and the gun was significantly more reliable. It still had weak ejection; cases would just barely dribble out. With weaker ammo, or smaller shooters it would still have the occasional failure to eject.

    I installed White Sound HRED and instantly had a perfectly working gun. Brass now ejected into a neat pile about 5' at 4'o clock.

    This was my first Glock and it's nice for it to start acting like one.

    Sigma 380

    My Ruger lcp is giving me a lot of the same fits. I don't have a lot of 380 luck apparently. Probably for the best.

    I bought a gen3 PT145 off a co-worker, I was with him the only magazine he ever shot with it. It was just a jam-o-matic turd for the most part. Some folks kept blaming the mags, but I bought a couple a few years later to try and they performed equally as horrible. I ditched it after 3 or 4 years...who needs a taurus for a safe queen.

    I did finally give Taurus another chance when I needed a gun to leave in the car, taking the risk on a G2. It hasn't disappointed for 189 bills, such a good sized gun compared to the G26 and M&P 9c it replaced.

    Old series 80 Combat Commander. Straight up jammimatic.
    Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”

    Para Ordnance P14 with alloy frame. Pretty sure it wouldn't even feed ball ammo from what I recall.

    Reliable, in that it always fed, fired, extracted, and ejected... but unreliable in that the tightest group I could get at 15 feet was 15 inches: the M&P9. With the slide removed and recoil spring assembly taken out, the barrel was extremely loose in the slide. Sold it off to a coworker and haven't been interested in the M&P line since.
