I have purchased 8 new guns in the last 6 years, and in my case the 9mm has been the most reliable in terms of the failure's to fire of any kind.
Beretta 92fs 9mm, never a failure to fire of any kind 5000+ rounds fired
Sig P226 9mm, slide failed to close after firing the 1st 150 rounds, the gun did this 3 times at the same session, never had a issue of any kind after that day, close to 10,000 rounds.
Walther P99 compact 9mm, never a failure to fire of any kind 2500+ rounds fired
Walther P99 9mm Full Size, No failures yet, only 1000 rounds
Sig P239 .40 shot less than 1000 rounds and traded for the Walther P99c, multiple FTF's.
Sigma .40, this gun always had FTF's after about 150 rounds per session, however, never had a FTF when shooting less than a 150 rounds at a session
S&W 1911 .45 jamomatic, got much better when mag's replaced with Wilson combat mag's but still FTF's. 5000 rounds
Sig P220 .45 two tone right off the bat bullets hanging up on the ramp, sent it back, much better, however, the slide at anytime, while firing, may just float in the middle of the frame, not locking into position, 22# wolf recoil spring on order.
I have kept all my 9mm's, Traded in both .40's the 1911 and the Sig P220 will go if the spring doesn't work.
I have been shooting for a long time and the 9's in semi and my 2 Ruger revolver's in .357's have worked best for me.
Is it me or does someone else see the same pattern?
