Good post with good info.

Sunnyside,
Reliability depends on a lot of factors. I've used a Ruger .45 for several years and the only problem I've had with it was a box of rounds I got from a friend. I don't the make (and never should have used them) but the walls were weak and they would distort enough after firing that they would jam.

Proper use and cleaning, along with using quality ammo (not nessassarily expensive) can eliminate many reliability issues.
