Charter Arms .38 Undercover.
Quality wise Charter Arms has had its ups and downs, and my sample was definitely from one of the "downs".

I had a Taurus .22 stainless revolver that would bind up at a rate of about 30 percent of the time. I loved the gun and even dispatched a deer with it. But the timing issues made me sell it and I now happily use a 1959 Bearcat for the same purposes....

AMT .380 Backup. It wouldn't come close to feeding Silvertip HPs and had a hard time even with the Remington HP that was pretty much a solid with a toothpick hole in the nose. But it worked great with round nose solids 95% of the time. Never knew when that other 5% would show up.

CZ 52 7.62x25 pistol. Trigger was so heavy I had to keep checking to make sure the safety was off.
Ruger Vaquero in 44 Mag.
Ruger Blackhawks in 41 Mag, 44 Mag.
I bought a new Jennings J22 back in the day for around $50. Never had a problem with it through a couple hundred rounds. Even dispatched a few vermin at close range. I don't remember getting rid of it but must have since I haven't seen it in a couple decades. Actually, I kind of miss it.

Regarding small frame snubbies... Look at the bright side... You'll never shoot anyone on a whim. You'll pull the gun out and start to pull the trigger, but then stop when your brain kicks in to remind you how hard that little gun smacks your hand. Had a scandium .357...OMG, most abusive handgun I've ever seen in my life! The shooter only comes out slightly better than the person being shot.

I'll start:
AMT Automag.. Tried it, it never worked well, I got rid of it, and I do NOT miss it..
Yer turn. Before I opened the thread, I thought, "yeah, AMT's" and it was the first one listed I'll add: Glocks Ruger Mk I & II's Colt SAA variants, unless they are really tight and well fitted, which the new ones are not. S&W revos, with MIM and locks. Kimber 1911's, though I still have one left.

It once jammed so tight I had to beat it apart with a hammer I cleaned mine to the hilt and even snail mailed and bought three new factory magazines, boom, JAM! I cut that fugger up and let the pieces fall into a metal 5 gal bucket and finished filling it with pig iron parts and took it and a bunch of other scrap metal from around the farm and sold it at Yaffee's up in Ft Smith.

AMT Backup 9mm. That thing had about a 50 lb. trigger pull. I actually got a pretty good price for it when I swapped it for a S&W 442 Airweight though.

Para-Ordnance P-10, when they came out in the mid-90s. It was a 3" double stack super compact 1911 .45ACP, held 10 rounds. Could not get it to shoot, jammed constantly. It sat in the safe for years until I sold it off.
