one word GLOCK
jiminhobesound said:Most reliable semiauto pistols?
I have a non-Glock that malfunctioned once in more than 20,000 rounds (improperly crimped cartridge), so...it's the more reliable.Most reliable = GLOCK (G26).
I had 2 failure to feed in the first 200 rounds. (Most likely user error.) After which, 1600 rounds with no hick-ups of ANY kind. (This is shooting two-handed, one-handed, HP, FMJ...)

Sorry to throw this in, but my experience with GLock has been disappointing. Since I bought my G30 new about 12 years ago, the slide stop leaf spring has broken twice, and the captive recoil spring assembly broke apart at the muzzle-end of the plastic guide rod. I also had some occasional FTF during the first year I owned it, but replacing the magazine springs fixed that. The barrel also has some odd etched markings on the lands and grooves inside that Glock has called "tenifer abrading", but I call "poor quality control". It doesn't seem to affect accuracy, just looks bad.
to date.
Have a link to the HK article? I didn't see anything on that site.
91,322 rounds
13 stoppages, 0 malfunctions, 5 parts breakages
test ended at: 91,622 rounds
At 91,300 rounds, the P30 was running strong. Even after a chunk went missing from the frame
As we reported on Monday, the M&P9 endurance test gun — pictured left, brand new still in its box back in April — finally cracked its slide at 62,333 rounds. While the gun continued to run without any stoppages, Smith & Wesson asked that we send the pistol to them for inspection.
The engineers inspected it, declared it safe, and suggested we keep shooting.
Then the lawyers intervened.
So, the test is officially at an end.
For those keeping track, the gun fired 62,333 rounds beginning on 22-Apr-08 and ending on 5-Dec-08, a total of 228 days, or 273.4 rounds per day.
104 total range trips, for 559.4 rounds per range day.
344 total hours on the range, for 181.2 rounds per hour.
The worst was a S&W 5906 (either shot myself or supervised the shooting of thousands of rounds thru several of these)
I’ve often opinioned that the S&W-4506 out Glock’s the Glock in reliability
My vote for the most reliable semi-auto pistol goes to Smith & Wesson's line of "third generation" pistols. I've shot oodles of rounds through a few of them without incident.
