Mine is my Walther G22 rifle. It has a justifiably horrible reputation for a number of reasons.
First is that it is a real PITA to clean, with some really small springs that want to fly out and get lost. Not much can be done about that, I try not to clean it too often.
Second is that it came from the factory with a real light-weight trigger bar that flexes. The result is a mushy trigger at best, at worst it just simply would not fire at all. Fortunately, it was a pretty simple fix to beef up the trigger bar. It solved the problem and made the trigger pull pretty decent.
Another issue is that when you are putting it back together after cleaning it you have to be careful not to tighten the stock screws too much. If you do, the magazines will bind and cause feeding issues. It's not at all hard to do it right, but you do have to be aware of it.
Finally, it was originally designed for standard velocity ammo and does not like hi-velocity .22lr. Runs great with standard velocity though.
Nonetheless, it balances great, is light, and is remarkably accurate. It's just plain fun to shoot and it goes to the range with me nearly every trip.
Anybody else got something that you just love in spite of the known issues?
