Autoloaders, right? No wheelguns?

Ok -- as of right now, I've only got 2 autoloaders that have never jammed, not even once:

S&W 422
Taurus PT-92 AF

I've had ammo related failures with the 422 -- various duds, but I can't fault the pistol for that. And, I've got 1 magazine for it that won't lock the slide back at the end of the mag. Again, I can't fault the gun for a mag problem.

The PT-92 has been flawless. No issues. I mean -- None.

Ruger P97. The least expensive and most reliable auto I have owned.

I own many guns, all but one auto's.
CZ75 Compact has been perfect as is the Kadet .22 kit.
Colt Govt .380 was used, but has been perfect.
Rock Island Armory .45 has also been errorfree.
My most expensive gun was my problem child, Kimber Ultra CDP II.

Springfield Armory 1911-milspec

I am now officially past the 1000 mark - enough to draw an opinion.

Not one feeding, ejecting, firing issue.

Many 92fs, 96, 96 Compacts, Cougars, 92 Compact L.....every Beretta I currently or have ever shot has been 100% reliable. No BS. Also a SIG P220 and my S&W457.

Guns that were not 100% reliable......every 1911 I ever owned , a Glock 20, Springfield XD 9 and a Kel Tec p-11

Jam free is in the eye of the beholder...

Every pistol will jam on bad ammo. (autos by design will only work with ammo that manufactured propperly)

My G17 pistols are pretty much flawless. Have they jammed on WWB or UMC ammo? nope. I had a jam on S&B and Wolf once (each) though.

My Ruger P345, P97, and P95 are 100% flawless with ball ammo and speer golddots and winchester ranger ammo. They don't like Fed hydra stuff and don't care for RemGS ammo all that much. (the P345 works fine with RemGS)

All my 1911s required some attention during break-in to get them functioning 100%. I had to smooth out some of the surfaces and do a fluff-n-buff to the barrels and feed ramps. I also had to touch up the breach face of the slide and locking lugs. Now, they are al 100% relialble with WWB, UMC, ball ammo, and handloads using Berry's PPB. I use RemGS hollowpoints and Winchester Ranger ammo in them as well with ZERO issues.

If I let any one of them get too dirty, they start to have issues.

Its the cross we all have to carry.

My Springfield XD-40. I've had a few ammo failures, dud primers, but outside of that, this gun has been 100% through 3000 rounds fired.

Reliability in Sig P-220's verge on the mystical. I've owned two P-220's and honestly don't recall a malfunction of anykind.
It's true, my Sig P220 has eaten untold thousands of rounds since 1985, with one single jam - ever - a visibly bent cartridge that wouldn't fit into the chamber.

Also 100% so far are:
Taurus PT24/7pro 9mm, approx 2500rds
Ruger P89, but only 400 rounds so far

So is someone going to tabulate all this data or make a database so it's actually usable?
