Most Reliable Auto Pistol

[SwampWolf]

The most reliable semi-autos that I've owned over the past fifty years or so are: Smith & Wesson third generation pistols, the Beretta Model 92FS, the Sig Model 226 and the SIG model 220-and, yes, with the milled s/s slide and internal extractor.

Complete disassembly is intimidating until you've done it once before. After that initial plunge, it's not bad at all. That said, the sear assembly on the decocker models still takes a bit of time for me to put back together, haha.

I've heard it can take 3 hands to get one back together. I'll have to buy a beater 75B that I won't mind if it takes me extra time to get back together.

The striker fired polymer pistol is the most reliavle design in my experience. Glock, Xd, M&P, etc. They're all about equally reliable I think, most will go thousands of rounds, if not tens of thousands, without cleaning, in harsh conditions, without malfunctioning. No they're not sexy or stylish or "manly", but they just work.
