If you buy or reload reliable, high quality ammunition, jams are almost non-existant with a well-made weapon.

I changed my return spring in my 1911 and solved a jamming problem. The Colt 1911 models and their clones seem to "like" certain ammunition. I agree with finding what your weapon "likes" and fire a bunch of rounds in practice to give yourself confidence in its reliability.

Practice is the key to good marksmanship.

It's not how fast you draw or how quickly you fire. It's about hitting exactly where you want the bullet to hit.

Most revolvers and semi-autos have all the cartridge capacity most people would need in a gunfight if the rounds are not wasted by firing wildly.

Should you be attacked by multiple assailants and shoot two in quick succession, there is an excellent chance any remaining assailants will note your deadly accuracy and quickly retreat.
