There are many lists of best guns, best guns that does xyz. For the simplicity of this debate, we break this down to guns that are most reliable but from different types of firearms.

We’ll choose from a handgun, bolt-action, shotgun, submachinegun and a self loading rifle. Within this list everyone will debate if these guns are for SHTF, personal defense, home defense or military. We’re only speaking about “gun reliability” here.

Here’s the 5 most reliable Guns on the planet:
Handguns - Glocks

is very boring because its so reliable and easy to use. The Glocks that do malfunction are due to owners modding them.

SubmachineGuns – Uzi

is one of the most simple firearms with only one moving part, the bolt. Considered most enduring sub guns, have been in production since the 1950’s. The only negative is the top cover, overtime it tends to bend up causing the gun to run away while firing.

Bolt action rifle- Mauser 98

considered most influential gun to influence warfare. Easy to operate bolt, reliability and overall good rifle design is its main features. See the rest of the top 5 most reliable gun on the planet video here.

The issue with Glocks is cocked and UN-locked... no external safety. Iit’s like a 1911with the safety off. I prefer DA/SA Sigs. P226, P229...

[Georgia Girl 2]

Agree hard to beat the 226.

The Beretta model 92 in all it’s versions is extraordinarily reliable.

The only problem is it’s grip is too large for smaller hands.

Most folks are not in Iraq. Sand in the slide is not an issue in most cases.
High capacity
Easy strip/clean
Accurate
Dependable

[servantboy777]

You are absolutely correct in a close hand to hand scenario, provided someone is familiar with the 92A1, they could remove the slide as you described. A little difficult to do during a struggle however.

Counting on the opponents ignorance of the 92A1 and never ever ever allow them to close the distance between you and them.

[Cobra64]

I’ve shot the 92many Times. Prefer Sigs.

[servantboy777]

I'm sold on the 92’s because of their amazing accuracy at various distances. Love the capacity 17+1.

A lil bulky..I admit. Never had a jam, never had a stove pipe or any mechanical malfunction. Not for everyone I reckon.

[Georgia Girl 2]

My main problem overall with Beretta handguns is that they are just too bulky. They are for people with large hands.

I have to take the Sig as number one choice on a handgun. Ruger P series especially the P89 which we own as well as a P85 and Springfield Armory over Glock all day long.

If we all liked the same gun there would be nothing to argue about on FR. :-)

[servantboy777]

Lol...you're certainly right. I initially found the grip bulky, but I would not use this as concealed carry. Never handled/shot a Sig. I have a Ruger. The Ruger I purchased was a .45 ACP and that sucker was about as finiky as could be. Jammin son of a biscuit eater.

Traded it off for a Colt Trooper II .357. Awesome wheel gun.

RUGER P85 MKII

Never had ANY PROBLEMS with Mine. Home Fishscale Jeweled, Ramp Polished. Thousands of rounds, NO MISFIRES, STOVE PIPES even with cheap aluminum case ammo.

Triple Safety: Hammer block, Trigger disconnect, Decocker

good piece. i trust my life to what ever gun i carry, so i don’t carry junk

[mabarker1]

True dat!
The ONLY Firearm I would sleep with under My pillow besides a Revolver (RUGER Blackhawk.44 Magnum 10.5” Barrelto save ammo if the Perp is in reach just beat them to death.)

Happiness is a warm pillow...

[Georgia Girl 2]

Same here the Ruger P series is very reliable and accurate. We have not had any issues with the P85 or the P89 except for the safety recall on the P85. We shipped it to the factory in a container they provided. Ruger refurbished the whole weapon, put in a new firing pin and safety and shipped it back with an extra magazine.

[mabarker1]

I like the 35 round mags you can get for them. Sticks out a bit but sure saves time in a Bad Situation 😬

“Beretta 92A1? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldn’t be getting rid of it for the Sig 320 “

Lets see how your statement works with other weapons. Times do change. Good weapons (or not) get switched out for other weapons by the US military.

*******************************
Colt 1911A1? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldn’t be getting rid of it for the Beretta M9.

M-14? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldn’t be getting rid of it for the M-16.

M-1 Garand? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldn’t be getting rid of it for the M-14.
