Love that Handgun...

with my bersa thunder .380, never a single jam, stovepipe, ftf, or fte.

Back from the dead!

I have to think if you shoot long enough anything can fail.

 

[jlbraun]

CZ P-01. No jams, no cleaning, 2700 rounds - including 50 rounds of intentional limpwristing.

 

[Cosmoline]

The only semi I've owned that I don't remember at least stovepiping from time to time was a Sig P225. The G23 didn't do it very often and after a spruce up at the local armory it almost never did it. Others would have a problem every few mags.

kahr pm9

9800 flawless rounds, not one jam, nothing, nadda, zero. My k9 has 3000 rounds, same thing. Must be clean living..

 

[RNB65]

Glock 17 and SA-XD9 have never jammed.

CZ SP01 jammed a few times when new. I switched to a lighter recoil spring and its never jammed since. The scuttlebutt is that the factory spring on the SP01 is weighted for NATO 9mm (+P) and problems with standard 9mm rounds are not uncommon.

SA 1911 jammed a few times when it was brand new during the first couple hundred rounds. Has never jammed since. Runs like a Swiss watch now.

Kahr P9 was a jam-o-matic when it was new. Works fine now after a trip back to Kahr for repair.

I used to own a Sig 228 and it never jammed once in 10 years of range shooting.

my sig p226 9mm has not had any problems in over 1,000 rounds.

 

[azhunter12]

My CZ52 has a couple FTEs. I think my CZ82 is failure free.

 

[PhillyGlocker]

I am not convinced Glocks jam. I think people come to the forums and lie. My oldest Glock is 5 years old, and so far no jams. I have yet to see a Glock jam at the range either. I love being at the range with guys with their expensive 1911's and Sigs having to clear jams while I'm constantly firing down range. Nothing better.

 

[ZombiesAhead]

Yes, but it was my fault for not holding it tight enough.

 

[Darthbauer]

• 96f/s Vertec - Yes. It was droped once and would not feed the next round anytime it was shot.
  
• XD9 - No
  
• 226R - No
  
• USP.45 - No
  
• 220R Combat - No

So when in doubt, dont drop your gun. It might break. If ever sliding out of a jeep wearing a drop leg make sure that the thumb break is engaged.

 

[Confederate]

My Beretta 92FS never has. However, my new 1911 has twice in 50 rounds.

This isn't unusual. The Beretta design is far newer. That's why it's always miffed me that 1911s seem to be much more expensive than guns that are much more reliable. I mean, you buy the 1911, shoot it, take it in and have someone work on it, then go out and shoot it again.

I know a guy with a S&W 59 that would just not shoot without jamming. It looked like a great gun, but it would frequently jam. Later, hearing that the guns now worked, I got me a 559 (a blued version of the 659), and it amazed me by going from one mag to another, then another, all without a hiccup. To this day, I don't know what Smith did. Both guns look an awful lot alike, yet one works and the other doesn't.

 

[brhall327]

few rounds through them yet, but my bersa 95 series had FTE'd on me once (in the first or 2nd mag) as i think i was kinda limp wristing it, with cheap ammo at that. no problems so far with the cz-82. my SKS... not a handgun and definately a whole nother story up until today with 0 failures on about 100 rounds when it used to FTE EVERY single casing.

 

[Snipe315]

SA TRP Operator: Jammed the 1st time I shot her due to no lube. :banghead:
Since then... 17,000 rounds without a jam.

USP Fullsize .45ACP: Not one jam in over 5,000 rounds.

USP Compact .45ACP: Not one jam in just under 5,000 rounds.

 

[woad_yurt]

Of course not, it's a Makarov!

My Makarovs never jam, not a single time. No matter how I use them or what ammo I use.

I have a CZ 52 with the Harrington HD firing pin kit that has only jammed 3 times in countless thousands of rounds, but that was due to slightly oversized surplus ammo case necks that got stuck in the chamber. Since then, no jams in over 2,0000 rounds. It's never once jammed with new ammo.

PS: I can predict the future sometimes. 10 years from now, my truthful answer for your question will be, "No, my Makarov hasn't jammed." And for my next trick....

 

[katastrof0]

Cz75b 9mm.
Probably 10000+ Various ammo, military/commercial/Handloads. Never a jam!

Or... It had two FTE`s on one mag when a novice fired it. I suspect limpwristing. Either way it doesnt count when im not behind the trigger

Seriously though, i limpwristed the hell out of that gun afterwards to try to make it jam but no.. To this day i still dont know how he managed it.

[jocko]

no kt's mentioned

gee, I didn't read any "no jams" about kel-tec's did I just miss something or what??

 

[jocko]

snipe 315

great post. I just love it when someone can post such great results with a 1911. I had a para carry 9, that was truly a great shooter to. Never had near the rounds that you did but it went bang every time. Nice post

 

[MS .45]

The only one of my autos to jam is my Springfield G.I 1911. But it only happened a couple of time in the first thousand rounds and never since. My Glock 17 and 26, CZ P-01 and Beretta PX4 have not jammed. Oh yeah, I have had a couple of hang-ups with my Kel-Tec P3AT.

 

[jcd15]

I have 4 auto loaders
My 22a by smith and wesson has jammed a couple of time .
my 32 guardian a couple of stove pipes with target ammo
never once with the gold dot which I carry in it.
My new glock 36 stove piped 2 times last week but I fired 250 rounds the week before and didn't clean the gun I am hoping it was because gun had 400 plus rounds through it with out cleaning.
My sig sauer 228 has never ever jammed on my once in 12 years with thousands and thousands of round through it from wolf to corbon to blazers to gold dots you name it.If the gun was alittle lighter and smaller it would be my primary carry gun .

 

[big44]

The first auto loader I had bad jamming problems with was a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm Compact. Every third round of every magazine jammed. Since I got it for my wife to have a home I traded it in on a Glock 19.

 

[DoubleTapDrew]

Yes, most of them have at some point or another. However it's usually due to ammo (forgetting to size a batch of reloads or going too long on OAL), I'm new to reloading. I don't carry reloads and it doesn't happen often so it's not a problem. Now if it jammed practicing with my defensive ammo I'd worry and not trust it. One side benefit, it gives you practice on unexpected failure drills. Training to tap, rack, bang instead of standing there going "what thuh?"

 

[CountGlockula]

If you want to jam your gun, get an aftermarket .40S&W to 9mm conversion barrel.

I've picked one up for fun...and I'm not laughing.
