Which firearms were criticized for poor build quality at SHOT Show 2017?

The Taurus Spectrum was criticized for visible machining lines and poor polymer finishing. The Zenith MKE MP5-style pistol was described as extremely rough and unfinished, resembling a crude construction. Kel-Tec products were also mentioned for their perceived low build quality.

In a surprising twist, the Canik TP9 SF Elite was ranked number one because the reviewer found it to be exceptionally well-made and high-quality. This positive assessment contradicted his prior negative stance on the brand, making it a notable exception to his 'worst of' list.

Why was the Smith & Wesson 986 revolver criticized despite being a Performance Center model?

The speaker criticized the Smith & Wesson 986 for its use of a titanium cylinder. He argued that the minimal weight savings offered by titanium were not worth the potential trade-offs in durability and increased susceptibility to flame cutting compared to traditional stainless steel cylinders.
