I have seen every brand and style of gun malfunction. Usuually operator error.

These are my experiences as an instructor;

Glocks FTE, FTF due to limp wristing. 1911s can do the same with limp wristing. I have seen Sigs, FTE and stovepipe, and fail to lock open after the last round due to the position of the thumbs. I have seen HKs do it too, along with Smiths, Berettas etc., etc.

I have seen revolvers jam up due to lack of care.

The best gun is the one you have trained with, fired enough to know it will go bang, and care for so it WILL go bang.

I knew when you started this thread you would get as many opinions as posters, and it would denigrate into calling out specific brands and styles .

I would carry any of the major brand named guns.

As a student, I have seen ONE pistol go down. It was a Glock with aftermarket "high-speed" parts that were promptly removed after the class. ;)
