S&W, pre lock,..3 inch heavy barrel, Blued and wood, round butt Model 36 Chief's Special,...circa 85,...used as a teaching gun and a carry gun for several years,..sound as a bell, and I have no idea how many 1000s I have ran through it. Still carry it occasionaly,..but the wife has claimed it as her woods walkin' gun,...so I have to ask her to let me use MY gun!!
 
Rossi 711 best one I own 10,000+ rounds ranging from full load .357 to light .38s
 
I have to go with the Makarov and the Tok. They are utterly reliable and fun to shoot. I also have a Ruger 95 that eats everything. The rest seem to have had one or two FTFs.
 
I ha done of those Norinco TT's in 9mm that worked flawlesly with everything except quality ammo. Fortunately that was back when a case of wolf was a mere 89.99/1000. Now I have a Ruger KP95DC that functions perfectly with the exception of some Ultramax 125gr LRN. I don't know if the ammo has the problems of if it's something else, but I get FTE's about once a magazine. I know the first culprit would be limp-wristing, but I'm a 6-1, 280 lb steelworker, so I doubt that's the case.
 
My "never ever hiccupped yet" are my two S&W autos. But I keep them clean and the round count is relatively low.

I will occasionally pump enough bargain basement ammo through an auto to get a gauge on the how many boxes it takes to shut it down. About 100-200 rounds of the sportsmans store counter brand is typical.

And then I scoop up the brass, but that's a different thread. See you in the reloading section.
 
It took a while to break into my glock 19 I thought i would never get used to the trigger pull and started thinking about getting a Sig... Two thousand rounds of ammo latter I'm in love and dead accurate at 25 yards

My Ruger P90, It was my first 45 and is still my favorite. Never failed me no matter what I put through it. The only drawback for carry is its size, but my Kimber Ultra Carry took care of that.
 
No matter how much I hate the thing and always try to get rid of it -- the Beretta 92FS has never failed on me in over 5000 rounds. However, it is back in the blue box after I bought a SIG.

The SIG P226 .40 that I bought to replace it has had about 500 rounds through it so far, and hasn't had a hiccup yet.

Of course, for reliability there's always a revolver :) Never had one stove-pipe, FTF, or FTE on me yet
 
My daily carry M&P40 full-size has been the most bullet-proof sidearm I've ever carried. with at least 8000+ flawless rounds downrange (Ask my wife what bullets cost!!!), this handgun puts the energizer bunny to shame. A few years ago when I carried Glocks off and on, I was never able to claim that they were completely flawless. I love my 1911's but again, I can not claim that they are 100% flawless.

My energizer bunny on steroids:

My M&P as it looks after daily carry and thousands of rounds Note the marks under the take down lever... This firearm is used a LOT:
