The Italian Glisenti 1910 is a historical semi-automatic pistol weighing 1.76 lbs with an 8.1-inch length. It features a 7-round single-stack magazine in 9x19mm Glisenti and a stiff slide. While it groups well, its lock cannot handle full-power 9mm Parabellum ammunition, and its magazines are prone to deformation, making it a fragile martial handgun.

This review highlights five of the worst firearms ever produced, detailing critical design flaws and historical context.

These examples serve as cautionary tales in firearm development.
