    Question Gun(s) That You Own That Have Never Failed?

    What guns do you guys have that have never jammed, FTF'd, whatever. That is, do you have any gun you have never had to utilize a clearing action? We might even allow once due to fluke... For me, by those parameters... My Del-Ton m-4, and Saiga 7.62x39! A beautiful couple.

    Sig P245

    Sig P229

    HK USP Compact LEM .40

    HK USP Compact LEM .45

    HK P2000sk LEM .40

    Beretta Inox Tomcat 3032

    Gen 2 G19

    Gen 3 G23

    Kahr K9

    Kahr MK9

    I don't still own all these but I never had a failure with any of them other than a bad mag spring in my P2000sk from being compressed for so long. (Yes it did happen, this is not up for debate) Could have been weak from the start but I never had issues with it before that.

    These are not all the guns I own, just ones that have been the most reliable.

    Glock 29
    S&W 4006, 4506-1, 1006
    S&W 500
    S&W 340 357 snub nose
    3 Dan Wesson 357 revolvers and 1 41 Mag
    FN 5.7x28 USG
    Sig P238 so far
    Internally suppressed Ruger Mark II so far

    Sig and Ruger are listed so far because they have less than 1k rounds though each as they are fairly new.

    Sig 226 - thousands of rounds, all types of ammo, not one failure
    Sig 220 Carry - only a few hundred rounds so far, no failures
    Ruger GP100
    Ruger SRH


    Everything else has failed me at least once. Most notably, my Glock 27 will reliably fail to feed UMC. My newest purchase, an M&P45 had a FTF on the first magazine of Ranger T I put through it. Several hundred rounds later of Rangers, handloads with XTPs, ball, etc and I have not had another failure.

    Out of the dozens of guns I have ranging from modern revolvers, pistols, rifles and shotguns, to milsurp and war bring backs used by both sides of two world wars and several regional conflicts, it's simply easier to list the only two guns I own that have failed.

    My Jennings J-22 and a Spreewerke P38 non-import marked bring back. The Jennings, well... no explanation needed. The P38 went into full auto on me at the range one day, but when I tore it down I found a small piece of cloth that must have torn and got stuck the last time I cleaned it.

    I still refuse to give up my J-22 for sentimental reasons and hold out hope that someday I'll find a round I can get through an entire magazine without a FTE, but the P38 only acted up that one time and after removing the bit of cloth I've never had any type of failure after that first incident.

    A 1916 Stevens single 12-mm hasn't failed, except the one time I loosened the extractor engagement screw to measure the thread type and failed to tighten it properly.
    My Mossberg 500 Country Squire (bought used)
    My son's Crickett
    My 91/30 (used. Duh.)
    My wife's Taurus 617 has a few thousand rounds downrange from us, and we've never had trouble. That surprises me, because we got it used and it survived being cooked in an apartment fire. All I had to do was give it a good cleaning and remove bits of crystallized WeaponShield and it was good to go.

    The only failures I ever had in any of my firearms are with poorly primed .22 cartridges and poor quality 1950's Yugoslavian Mauser ammunition.
