Buffalobob,

Your initial question that started the thread asked:

"What I want to know is only one thing. Which of these is the most reliable and jam free. I do not want a pistol that is finicky and has to constantly have the magazine lips adjusted nor do I want to have to try to clear a stoppage when I most need to shoot. If there is a 4.5 -5.0 inch barrel 9mm that I have not listed then feel to add it to the list".

I thought this question was very specific and regarded a civilian’s use of the pistol. I also believed that the question was addressed to the general membership here and not just the BTDTs. In that regard, I offered to help answer the original question by referring to a website where the owner shoots the heck out of guns, records breakages and failures to fire. This same website was referenced in post #63 above. I think it is a reasonable site that shows the potential and different problems with various common and popular handguns.

I understand this is a SF site, and that I am a guest here. This is why although I have been a member here for years, I very rarely post. The subjects of most posts are simply outside the scope of my expertise or knowledge. However, I thought the website to which I referred you might be helpful to the discussion.

Of course, I apologize if I implied that Mr. Green’s website was anything more than what it is - his summary of 4 handguns’ reliability and failure to fires.
