What pistol has never failed on you.....

Colt Python!!!!!!

I had a 4 inch Colt King Cobra one time and if the .357 round didn’t get the BG the fireball would. That thing was fun to shoot around dusk just for the visual effect.

German Sig 226 bought in 1986.....I don't know the round count because I wasn't very pistol savvy then.
CZ Sp 01 tactical 9,331 rounds
Kahr pm9 4,221 rounds
Springfield Xdm 5.25. 45 1,595 this is normally my nightstand gun.
There are others, but the 4 listed are the most impressive.

I've been very fortunate in that I've had very few malfunctions with any guns I've ever owned or currently own.
The few that had a failure usually failed when somebody else was shooting it.
I'm into old guns and even those for the most part always work. A few needed a spring or a tweak etc but then they run.

After break-in on new guns or repairs to used guns, any malfunctions I have are due to ammo issues. The trick is to keep them well maintained, lubricated, and use quality ammo!

Beretta PX4 40 cal Aprox. 3000 rnds. No failures of any kind.
CZ 85 Aprox. 2000 rnds. No failures since putting extra power extractor spring in it after the first 100 rnds.
Springfield XDS 9mm No failures but only about 500 rnds.
HK VP-9 No failures but only about 400 rnds.

I never did round count before owning the Pico and the Beretta Nano. Both have never failed. I stopped counting the Pico flawless rounds at 2500. Actually I own two of them and both flawless. I bought the Nano in 2018 and in August finished shooting 5,000 rounds of flawless rounds down range with about 8 different ammunition's from 110gr to 147. and various Plus P ammo. Stopped counting at the 5.000 mark and still running perfect. My other guns I own, about 15 all seem to run well with most quality range ammo. However it is something that I never focused on at the range and never paid much attention to a bad round. I have had 4 Ruger LCP's, some would shoot just about anything, some were picky. No big deal to find out what they liked. The only problem with them, was the fact they would fall apart after any substantial ammo was fired through them. My CW380 is finicky, but I really like the gun and finding what ammo out it churns out on a regular basis is NOT a big deal to me. I did have some issues when brand new, but I worked them out and the gun is a fine shooter.

I also believe the quality of the magazines has a lot to do with flawless shooting or reliable shooting of any particular firearm. And for all magazines, I load them up to full capacity and let the Spring "Set" for a few days.Same with Recoil springs. Do not know if there is fact behind this, but works for me and all my guns shoot well. Keep them cleaned and maintained seems to be a must for many guns. Especially firing pin and striker channels. I did have some failures with other guns when I used a new oil that really fouled them up. I also use a sonic cleaner about every 5th shooting session and blow out the channels really well. Also make sure the extractors are well cleaned.

Thats good to hear that your Nano works well. I had one I bought when they first came out for $375 and it never was reliable, it had fail to extract problems with all ammo that wouldn’t go away. I liked the gun and shot it well but had to let it go. After Beretta denying there was an issue I think they came out with a new extractor design sometime later.

That mirrors my experience exactly. I put about 900 rounds down the pipe in my Nano and it would still fail to eject on occasion, always resulting in a double feed.
I liked it otherwise, so it's good to read that King Rat's works reliably.
