Which semi-auto pistol would you bet your life on out the box?

[harmon rabb]

I've got to say Glocks, if only because Glock seems to understand that you should ship a gun ready to rock and roll, not covered in crap that needs to be removed before the gun is fired. You field strip a NIB glock, it's perfectly clean inside, with grease on the right points. Do that to most other guns, and they're full of crap. Even much more expensive guns.

any glock-except a gen 4
or a sig classic series

Of the semi autos I've had, the two that *never* had a malf over the course of thousands of rounds are my old Ruger P95 and my current Springfield XD45.

The 1911A1 Micro Compact I had for a while gave me a few failures to feed, but working the mags a bit took care of that.

Bet your life on a CZ..

My first thought on this matter was my "Well Used" Colt 1911 .45acp. Then again, the most reliable semi-auto-NEW-out of the box, for me, has been the CZ's.
First, a CZ-P0-1=Bought new, Pre-Obama for $399, with all the accessories, ran 6-700 rounds through it without ONE FTF or FTE! I had 2-3 dead primers on some WWII 9's that I ran, but that was a ammo problem-not gun defect. BTW, traded this P-01 to a Member of this Forum for a Kimber .45acp. in like condition=last I heard, we are both happy, with the trade.
This left me "9MM Less", with 6-7K 9MM brass+bullets to match, so my next 9MM was a CZ-75B stainless. So far-4-500 rounds=not ONE hick-up.
To me the CZ's just go everytime...

 

[billybob44]

Any of the CZ's.

My personal favorites are the P-01 in 9mm and the 97B in .45ACP.

The P-01, by the way, is UN classed.

I understand the other manufacturers dropped out of the competition.

I wonder why?

^^^same thought-see post..

 

[Johnny Lightning]

Glock 17!!!

 

[kmrcstintn]

beretta 92, cz 75 sp-01 phantom, beretta px4 storm: own all 3 and all were 100% out of the box while other ones I have owned had hiccups in the first 250-500 rounds

 

[54lariat]

My XD's.. any one of them, wifes sub 9mm, my 45 or my compact 9mm, I have over 6k rounds thru my compact 9mm, only glitches I had were with my hand loads, and those were far and few between.
I also shot about 1500 rounds without cleaning.... still had no problems

But for piece of mind my S&W .38spc always goes boom, I carry 2 at a time
Sometimes I carry my Kahr CW40 too, If I have my jacket on

 

[hunter44]

Any of my three autoloaders (H & K USP .45, CZ 75, Glock 19 3rd gen) will do for me. But because I 've been carrying my USP .45 for ten years now, the lot might fall on it.

 

[Sauer Grapes]

S&W M&P9, it has never skipped a beat!

 

[Shipwreck]

Beretta 92FS

 

[robmkivseries70]

I have had some FN Hi Powers in 9mm and a Browning Practical 9mm that have never failed. I just got an 4 in. Xd in 9mm and it is off to a good start.
Best,
Rob

Sig Sauer P-220. I carried two of them during my 20 year Law-Dawg career and neither ever had to have anything done to them.
The Military contract Beretta M-9s works great when new. Until the locking block wings break a year or two later.

 

[2ndamd]

Glock 9mm

 

[sxcamaro05]

Biased here Beretta 96 because it is my only pistol. Really though the no FTF/FTE makes it very attractive to me for picking up. I shoot it naturally better than any other gun I've picked up so I'd def. bet my life on it.

 

[1SOW]

Absolutely NONE willingly.
