A recent article on the subject of the worst gun brands in the United States has revealed some of the most terrible ones. These include: the Ruger 10/22; Taurus Judge; Avtomat Kalashnikova 47 model 47; and Jennings/Jimenez. But why are these brands so awful? Let's take a look. In no particular order, we'll look at the Colt 2000, Taurus Judge, and the Avtomat Kalashnikova model 47.
Ruger 10/22
The Ruger 10/22 rifle is one of America's most popular and cobbled-on. It was designed as a semiauto, rimfire rifle that is affordable and became very popular in 1964. It was popularized by improvements to the match barrel trigger. Today, you will find a variety of Ruger 10/22 variants at different gunsmiths.
Taurus Judge
The Taurus Judge revolver comes with a fiber-optic front sight. It's simple and bright, making it great for close-range shooting. You will find the rear sight in a U-shaped spot just in front your hammer. While this is fine for a Jframe, a larger gun might benefit from a full-sized back sight. This is a poor choice for defensive shooters.
Avtomat Kalashnikova model 47
The AK-47 used to be known, but the Russian Army changed its name to the AK-47 in 1949. Avtomat Kalashnikova stands for AK. The Soviet Army adopted it as its standard infantry weapon. The AK-47 replaced all firearms in the Soviet Army, except the pistol. It was still the standard weapon in the Soviet Army's arsenal until 1959.
Jennings/Jimenez
If you're considering buying a new gun, you may be wondering whether Jimenez/Jennings is worth the investment. This is the latest "Saturday Night Specials" gun maker to find itself in hot water due to poor quality and poor service. But don't be. It's not just about guns. This company is associated with the criminal, racial and political undertones of the "Saturday Night Specials", TV program that has been known for being a complete failure.
Colt 2000
The Colt 2000, a high-cap polymer pistol with high caps, was the first to be released. It was a disaster. Although the Colt 1911 featured a polymer frame, a metal slide and a double-stacked magazine, the gun proved to be incredibly unstable. This led to countless recalls and embarrassing failures for the company. Colt almost bankrupted themselves after this massive failure.
