like others said, revolvers are pretty fool-proof. they CAN jam (e.g. bullets jumping the crimp and proturding past the the cylinder) but it's rare and typically only a problem with specialized models (ultra-lightweights, etc).
for a defensive pistol, it's hard to beat a full size revolver for simplicity and reliability.
with autos, reliability is a factor of several things, including the pistol, the ammo, the magazine, and the shooting technique.
i have had great luck with glocks, and i have a kimber 1911 that has run flawlessly since i changed out the factory magazines for some quality wilson mags.
regarding desert eagle pistols, i think they have problems because they're trying run rimmed cases thru on automatic. the 50 AE round is rimless, so i bet it runs more reliably.
