As a rule, I don’t “trust” any of them. Trust has to be earned by each individual weapon.
I’ll “trust” a piece if it gets through its first 200 round string without failure of any sort.
Owing to the need for some guns to have a “break-in” period, I’ll run the test twice more. Failing that, off to the glue-factory, you go....
This.
I take the reliability of subcompact pistols with a grain of salt no matter what the name. Once the size and weight of a handgun drop below a certain point, they can be right on the edge as far as reliability goes, and frequently fall over that edge if the "wrong" ammunition is used.
I have a Beretta Nano that I bought despite the bad press they were getting at the time, simply because the range had a well-used one for rent and it hooked me. I have not had any problems with it since I deemed it "broken in," but a lot of people won't even consider one.
