Re: Best and worst (for fun)
Best:
Rimfire: My wife's High Standard Supermatic Citation. Hangs on the end of the arm like it belongs there. Trigger like a breaking glass rod. Sights that Stevie Wonder could use, and accuracy that humbles <span style="font-style: italic">anyone</span> with a heartbeat.
Centerfire: An MOA Maximum in 243. Hitting a 10 inch plate at 300 yards was downright <span style="font-style: italic">boring</span>. These things are capable of half inch groups at 100 yards and they are incredibly well-machined.
Worst:
Rimfire: Rohm RG10 revolver. Even though it had fewer than 200 rounds through it and was clean and lubed, I still had to rotate the cylinder after pulling back the hammer to make sure it was indexed properly. It failed to go bang about 50% of the time if I didn't. Couldn't hit a big coffee can from 50 feet consistently (probably because 1/3 of the bullet was getting shaved off on the forcing cone due to the piss-poor chamber alignment)!
Centerfire: Has to be a Taurus PT25. Inaccurate, unreliable, poor ergos, and it exploded in my hand. The sharp inside corner of the slide came forward and punched the primer as the cartridge was busy misfeeding and nosing down in the mag...luckily the 25 is a low-pressure round and I didn't get bloodied. Still rate them as the most worthless modern firearm made.
