Are All Your Weapons 100% Reliable?

[peacemaker45]

I've got one safe queen. It's a K-38 Target Materpiece, inheritied from my granddad. As it's in 99% condition, I'd just as soon it stayed that way. I have shot it quite a bit, but then decided that with old smiths being cheap, the heirloom should maybe stay pretty, while others get shot, carried, what have you. It never malfunctioned, though.

I've had zero malfunctions out of the group of my guns that I consider carry guns.

PT1911: 933 rds since 12-23-06. New primary.
Kel Tec P32: 1700 rds since 6-14-02. BUG
S&W Model 10-3. 8900 rds since 5-22-01

Then there are my competition guns. cowboy action, specifically. I've had two parts breakages, and a couple of tied up cylinders due to improperly seated primers. One factory shotgun shell that failed to fire. But, that's par for the course, when you shoot that much, that fast, etc.

I've also got a few that just can't be expected to be glock reliable. 1847 Walker Colt replica is a fine example. Great fun to shoot, but reliable? It's a percussion fired black powder revolver! For a cap and ball gun of original design to work right, a whole lot of things have to go VERY right. Things that often don't.

Well, they are 100 percent reliable until they break!

Since I don't have any safe queens and any or all of my handguns may be called upon to defend myself or family, then yes, all my guns are 100% reliable or they get repaired or sold!

Now let me qualify "100% reliable".

Since any gun can have at least one malfunction once in a very great while, I define 'realistic' 100% as one failure after and then in between 500 and 1000 rds of use. Beyond that, I have had several guns with more than 1K rds down range with zero issues, but I will accept one issue per 1K rds after break-in and still trust the gun for my life.

I voted yes but as we all know, anything mechanical can malfunction. I do keep only firearms I feel I can trust my life to.
