    Colt, Cadet/.22. Combination of heavy striker and striker spring. Fired everything, even Remington Golden bullets which choked in other pistols.

    Got rid of it, though. Piss poor design, unbalanced weight. Because of the heavy bull barreled stainless upper. And very light plastic receiver. Magazine release was also a joke. No fence around it. Every time you hit something with the mag release, the mag fell out.

    CZ 52. Can't say it is my most accurate or favorite, but I can't recall it ever jamming. Thanks to the roller action and bottlenecked cartridge, it will feed anything from full wadcutters to standard FMJ round noses. Also worth mention, Remington 51 (original) and German Ortgies. Can't recall them jamming either, but I haven't run as many bullet types.

    A .30 Tokarev (TT-33)and a .30 Luger, for the same reason Jonk mentioned about being bottlenecked. I've never owned a .357 Sig, but if I was in the market for a new style pistol, that would be my pick

    Sig P226 9mm. About 11K rounds, only jammed once...when I put a .380 round in the ammo can and loaded it into the mag. It fired, just didn't cycle.

    CZ75 and CZ75b never failed tens of thousands of commercial and reloads (90 thru 147 grain loads, various powder types, made up #9 snake loads, etc.). Always functioned and accurate if I did my part.

    Colt 1911 (1918 date of manufacture). It goes bang every time and is surprisingly accurate for me.
    2nd choice would be the Swedish Lahti Model 1940 I have. It's amazingly accurate and robust, and it feels great in the hand.

    The most reliable pistol that I've fired wasn't a pistol- but it was a handgun: S&W Model 66.

    Ruger Speed Six, it has no problem digesting everything from light 38Spl to 357 Mags that are not fun to shoot, I shoot over 1000 rds per year out of it and I have had it for over 20 years without a single issue
