Ok, I'm willing to learn and to say I was wrong when I am. I am admittedly prejudiced toward my 38 snubbie, but I've spent my life changing various prejudices of one sort or another.
What I hear you saying is 1) quality gun and 2) maintenance are the keys to no malfunctions with a semi. Is that right? My wife shoots a Kahr 9mm which hasn't malfunctioned ever with about 1500 rounds through it. I clean it meticulously after every range session. I just thought her gun was an exception. Have those of you who responded also experienced 1000-2000 rounds in your semiautos with NO malfunctions. Tell me "yes" and I'll be convinced.
Eager to hear from you. Paul G.

The old wheelgun vs semiauto discussion again.
I have seen this article
http://www.fbi.gov/publications/leb/200 ... tm#page_15
referenced in several forums in discussions about the "one shot stop."
Interesting that no one ever points out the very significant sentence in one paragraph, "The officer shot the individual four times in the chest; then, his weapon malfunctioned."
The wife and I just took our CHL qualification in a class of about 40-50 students. All of us were firing semiautomatics. You wouldn't believe the number of malfunctions that occurred on the range. On every magazine of five rounds, someone of each group of about 15 shooters would almost invariably have a malfunction. I'll qualify with my wife's semiauto but, thank you, I'll rely on my wheelgun after the license is received from DPS.
