The most reliable handgun is either a Colt, Ruger or a Smith large frame revolver. The least reliable is almost any "Saturday Night Special" autoloader or revolver. Many autoloaders require a break-in period and should not be used for actual self-defence until proven reliable on the range with your choice of ammo. Many foreign made handguns are basicly acceptable if worked over by a good gunsmith and some require replacement of several of the inner springs. I am a firm believer in "Wolff Springs" for all my firearms and magazines.
