My Ruger 22/45 has digested huge amounts of varied ammo without any malfunctions that could not be traced back to human failure.

Ruger LCP back to factory for recall. I experienced no actual problems before or after, but a malfunctioning drop safety fits the category of "major problem" in my book, regardless of how well Ruger responded to the issue. Still love the little pistol regardless.

Same thing here as austinrealtor's post. But, I voted "no problems" because the LCP has performed flawlessly for me. Everyone knows about the recall and I think the poll here is probably looking for more general reliability perspectives.

Bought my used P-95 in April of this year. It was made in 2004, and have put about 600 rounds through it using 4 different types of ammo. Not one FTF, or any problems what so ever.

My 22/45 is reasonably reliable, but will occasionally stovepipe/FTE a round, and doesn't lock the slide back. Since it simply a plinking pistol, none of these are of any significant concern to me, so I voted minor problems that didn't require sending it to the factory.

No mechanical problems whatsoever for my SR9. Only issue at all was the white part of the front sight falling off. It's been a great pistol so far.

I have owned 2 P89s over the yrs. One was my first carry & the other I traded for then off. Neither ever gave the 1st hint of a prob. Totally reliable.
