Beleive it or not, my FEG Pa-63 in .380 has never jammed. Every other auto I've owned has jammed for one reason or another. Second place: FEG Hi-power, once I learned to clean under the extractor once in a while it's flawless.
Which of your semi-autos have NEVER jammed?

Taurus PT99AF, approx 13,000 rounds with no failures
Springfield Loaded Stainless Target, approx 2,400 rounds with no failures
Colt Combat Commander 38 Super, over 1,000 rounds with no failures
Colt Gold Cup, 800 rounds of reloads with no failures
Kimber Classic 2 for 2 with no failures with me shooting
EAA Witness Silver Team, no failures (of course it was worked on prior to me buying it)
EAA Witness 9mm, no failures
CZ IPSC Standard, no failures
Colt 1991A1, no failures in the past 8 years, maybe 2 or 3 before that
Glock 23, no failures
SIG Pro 2340, no failures
Phoenix Arms HP22, no failures
1974 Makarov, no failures
Guess I'm just lucky. I've had maybe two guns that cost over $150 that have had more than five failures ever. One Colt that had some issues and a Colt/Auto Ordnance mut. The only two I can think of. Both were used, by the way.

No malfunctions of any type in any of my Glocks. I have a Glock 23 that I have put around 3,000 plus rounds through it with no problems at all. Although I have not put that many rounds through them, but I have had zero malfunctions in my Glock 36 and Glock 30.

Glocks, thousands upon thousands of rounds through at least half a dozen Glocks without any malfunctions.

Even though I don't own one, the only semi I have shot without a jam is a Beretta 92FS.
Glock 26!
I've only had it a little over a month, and I've only put 650 rounds through it in that time, but my little Glock 26 hasn't had a bobble yet.

P.S. BTW, I don't remember my CZ75BD ever jamming either. It has about 1100 rounds through it.

My HK USP .45 full size has had about 3000 rounds through it, and has had zero malfunctions of any kind. This is the only semi auto I've owned that I can honestly make this claim for.

Glock 17. Limp wristed it (shooting left handed) in the first 200 rounds... none in 2300 subsequent shots.

My H&K USPc .45 has never jammed.
My Colt Delta Elite has never jammed.
My Glock 26 has never jammed.
My Ruger KMK-512 has never jammed.
I have a Kimber UCDP, and a Colt Gov't that have jammed only due to poor reloads. (not mine
) Never with factory cartridges.

OK, 4 pages (and last post a few weeks ago, in late Feb)? I guess I've come a bit late. Anyway, here is my experience.
Zero malfunctions is a tough standard, between the occasional hiccup any mechanical product will have, ammo issues, spring issues, shooter isses, etc. most autos will have some kind of hiccup (though not all are major). I really have to wonder how often the individual guns have been shot on those lists where the person has more than 2 or 3 autos on the list.
Most of my guns that have never malfunctioned are revolvers (my S&W 65LS, S&W 586, Colt Police Positive Special have been perfect, the Taurus 605 I sold was also perfect but I only shot about 500-1000 rnds through it). Out of my autos the only 100% functioning guns have been my Bersa Thunder (I have about 1K rounds through it so far, I've had it almost a year) and my Ruger P89 (I had about 1K-2K rounds through it without a hiccup when I sold it).
My CZs have both been nearly perfect. The 75B had 4 hiccups, two in the first 200 rounds while being broken in, once the slide locked up with a round still in the mag and once a friend was firing it and it had a minor hiccup (I don't remember the variety). I have probably around 5K rounds out of it- 4 in ~5K rounds is more than acceptable. My 40B had only one hiccup during break-in and nothing since.
My Charles Daly has been nearly 100% since I changed out the mags (occasionally it doesn't want to chamber the first round but there is no trouble with it staying in battery once the firing has begun). Thus, it is only an annoyance but no true problem (nothing that would prevent it from being a viable self defense alternative since once it is in battery the first time it works fine every time). Still, that keeps it from being considered 100%.

Looks like Berettas are doing just fine. Mine's never let me down. Before I owned this gun, however, I had some real winners: Lorcin 380 jammed about once a clip and a Hy-point 9mm that jammed about every 2 or 3 rounds.:banghead:

S&W 910s -- no malfunctions of any kind; feeds, fires, ejects FMJ's or HP's.
My other Semi, 75B 9mm(back at C*-U*A)is a textbook example of Murphy's Law as it applies to semiauto handguns: more effective as a blunt-force instrument.:banghead:

I had to vote for Springfield 'cause I just finished a 1000 round break-in period (yeah, it's an artificial number but it's the one I chose).
BTW, KelTec should have been on the list. My P11 was absolutely reliable, as were my various Ruger MKII's, my P97DC, and my Beretta 92FS.
