List your jam-free autopistols here

Inspector Callahan · January 14, 2002, 07:49 PM

Auto pistols that you've owned in the past or currently own that have never burped, jammed, misfired, slamfired, hung up, or generally malfed. We're talking about ROCK SOLID reliability. List 'em here.

Glock 23
Colt WWII Reproduction M1911A1
Beretta 96 Brigadier Elite

(My prediction; Beretta will run away with this).

Borf · January 14, 2002, 07:52 PM

That have NEVER jammed?
Ruger Mk II

I've got a bunch that have jammed "with excuse" (magazine spring weak, dirty, bad ammo, etc..), but despite what some others say, I don't think that counts

Kermit · January 14, 2002, 07:52 PM

Beretta Centurion, 92fs.....well over 10,000 rounds respectively
HK USP 45, 9mm, Expert 45.....well over 8,000 rounds respectively

GSB · January 14, 2002, 07:53 PM

HK USP45
Beretta Elite II

CZ_ · January 14, 2002, 07:57 PM

All of these have been perfect for me:

Sig P239 (0 malfunctions in 3,200+ rounds)
Glock 21 (0 malfunctions in 1,000+ rounds)
Sig P228 (0 malfunctions in 750+ rounds)
Glock 26 (0 malfunctions in 750+ rounds)
CZ 97B (0 malfunctions in 500 rounds)
CZ 75B .40 (0 malfunctions in 400 rounds)
Ruger MK II .22 (0 malfunctions in 1,000 plus rounds--remarkable for a rimfire)

My other pistols (not listed) have had at least one malfunction.

cochise · January 14, 2002, 07:57 PM

Never ever one jam.............over 1000 rds

SIG 226

Tropical Z · January 14, 2002, 08:08 PM

*S&W 422
*Bulgarian Makarov
*Hi-Point compensated 9mm
Everything else has needed some breaking in.

C.R.Sam · January 14, 2002, 08:10 PM

Since a functioning pistol includes ammunition and magazine.....I don't think there is such a critter.

Once I got it back from Dane Burns around 6 months ago my Delta Elite has been totally invincible over maybe 2,000 rounds so far. I've gotten it totally filthy -- solid black sticky crud covering all the innards -- and it still ran perfectly. That wasn't intentional, just a side effect of firing lots of cast lead thru it in one sitting.

New CZ-75B only has a couple hundred rounds through it but is 100%. Had to replace the hammer nose on my S&W 610 revolver a long time ago, but of course it always goes bang now, and I have absolutely no idea how many rounds have gone through it. Something about shooting double-taps with full power 10mm loads out of a gigantic revolver just never gets old.

fadingbreed · January 14, 2002, 08:14 PM

S&W 422 - have shot thousands of rounds
Bulgarian Makarov - " "
East German Makarov - " "
CZ52 - " "

glockorama · January 14, 2002, 08:20 PM

CZ-75
RUGER P-85 (it wasn't even a mkII!)
GLOCK 30
MAKAROV (several)
WWII CZ-27 (32acp)

Handy · January 14, 2002, 08:22 PM

P7M8 with any mag.
P9S with any mag.

I've had feed hiccups with a Glock 19, Baby Eagle, 1911, 2 Ruger .22s. None yet with MK9, but only 120 rounds fired.

Someone has a Ruger MKII that never jammed with any ammo?! I need to breath into a paper bag.

Blue Duck357 · January 14, 2002, 08:26 PM

1991A1 (2)
Glock 22
Taurus PT-92

Close but no cigar, Ruger MK II, Beretta 92, Glock 23.

longeyes · January 14, 2002, 08:26 PM

ParaOrdnance P14 LDA
Walther P99 - 9mm
CZ75 - .40 S&W
Beretta 8045

I've never had anything else, so I really can't comment. A buddy's SigPro 2340 never had any issues.

J Scott · January 14, 2002, 08:45 PM

NEVER had reliability issues with:

Wilson Protector
Kimber Ultra CDP
Glock 30
Sig 225
S&W 2206

Ruben Nasser · January 14, 2002, 08:47 PM

Even when clean and lubed! But then sometimes I was using less than perfect ammo, yada, yadda, and shooting a lot!
After some tweaking (sometimes only ammo tune up), all these guns run at less than one malfunction in 1000 rounds (several 1000's fired in each):
G23
CZ75
1911A1
Para P14-45

J. Parker · January 14, 2002, 08:51 PM

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.
Beretta's are next. I've owned full size M92's and 9mm Centurion's and once again no malfunctions...zero.
Believe or not but I never had a malfunction with a S&W M5906 or the M4006. Smiths work for me.
Recently, I've had a CZ40 and put maybe 250 rounds through it with no chokes. I now have a CZ-75B with maybe 400 rounds through it with no malfunctions. CZ's work too!
Oh wait, one more....I've never had a Makarov malfunction either. Best Regards, J. Parker
