Guns that always go bang... - Page 3

gumshoe4 · May 23, 2002, 11:58 PM

Guns I own that have NEVER failed to fire (except for bad ammo):

S&W 649
S&W 681
S&W 645
Ruger P95DC
Ruger P97DC

That said, do I believe that these guns will never, in the future, fail in some way to fire? Nope-guns are mechanical devices and mechanical devices wear and fail.

The Ruger pistols and the S&W 645, in particular, have been reliable in the extreme, as far as autos go in my personal experience.

The revolvers are like most revolvers-very reliable and not much hangs them up. Not to say it can't happen, but it sure doesn't seem to, much.

It would have to be either a Glock or a Makarov, they are about the most reliable semiautos around.

If you have not had any failure you have not fired enough ammo.
