[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1766498, member: 24428"] For my personal protection weapons I try to stick with the name brands that generally have life time warranties... as they tend to be the most dependable. With my revolvers [mostly S&W & Colt] and my semi-autos [Glocks, Ruger, Berreta, S&W]... I load them with the ammo I'm gonna be carrying... shoot it until it is sighted in... and if it went bang every time I pulled the trigger and is on target, then I trust it......typically 25-50 rounds. Of course I do take them to the range and practice with them...but as far as trusting them... about 25-50 rounds of my carry ammo without a hic-up. I've carried a Glock of different calibers for 15 yrs... never have had a failure to fire or a jam in my G19, 21 or 23. They were all good to go right out of the box. I sighted them in with a dozen rounds and carried them. I had a Kel-Tec P3AT that was averaging one failure to feed out of about every 10 rounds. I would NEVER trust one of those with my life. For some reason the round would jam straight-in on the feed ramp. I could have gone the route of hand polishing the feed ramp or firing 200+ rounds of ball ammo through it or even sending it back the factory [as I had called them and gotten approval to do so] and that might have solved the feeding problem... but instead I traded it off on a deal for a new Ruger LCP w/ CT laser. I put approx. 150 rounds down the barrel fine-tuning the laser to my liking. Not one single failure to feed, or failure to fire with several different brands of ammo. That one stays in my front pocket loaded with Critical Defense rounds. The G23 w/ CT laser... loaded with Critical Defense rounds is my main carry weapon OWB in a leather Bianchi Model 82 auto retention threat level 2 'Carrylok' Holster. It took some getting use to the odd release using my ring finger.. but it is a nice leather holster that holds the pistol close to the body. [/QUOTE]
