The only firearms I own that I would not completely trust for personal protection are my semi auto .22s, and that's more an issue of ammo than anything else. If it isn't reliable, I don't keep it.

I no longer own guns where there is any doubt on reliability. Getting proven designs on older guns, and bulletproof designs on new guns, make that a thing of the past for me. Only exception is any 22s, where of course there is always some doubt due to rimfire ammo, but not due to the gun. I wouldn't use 22s for self defense though.I've been wondering what semi-automatic firearm is your most trusted choice for a self defense weapon whether it be for carry, home, car/truck, whatever. A gun that you have NO DOUBT that will fire a full magazine without a malfunction of any kind.
And capacity & caliber NOT being a factor.
Fair Enough.Giving it some actual thought beyond "hurr durr all mah gunz is reliable"
Your mini wasn't reliable? Did you have factory mags for it?If l can't trust it l don't keep it, good riddance mini 14
I definitely have a couple that are finicky. Mostly they are ones that need some TLC. Also tend to be very antique ones. More collectors items if you will, or builds that have not gotten the kinks ironed out yet.I don't have any firearms that aren't reliable, I have no qualms with my Glocks, Beretta 92F, Ruger revolvers, Mossberg shotguns, or any of my "evil" semi-auto rifles.
No - I have three SIG P226s. One is a Mk25, the others are 226s for which I also have Mk25 uppers but the lowers are P226 (with SIG rail instead of a Pic rail, and the internals are probably not phosphate coated). I also have .40 uppers and a .22LR upper.Oh! Only a mk25?? Is this hope and dream land or are you really that lucky?
Also, Single?
