In 2006 I got rid of a handgun that I hated and bought a Glock 17. The salesman told me that Glocks were "harder to shoot well" than other brands, had a mushy trigger but were incredibly reliable. Over the years this Glock has become by go-to pistol. I've been posting about it since I bought it (check my history) and today at a buddy's ranch I put my 15,000th round through it. This gun has NEVER malfunctioned, not once. The closest thing to a stoppage was a round with a dead primer which was easily overcome by racking of the slide. This round failed to fire in two other 9mm's so I don't hold that against the gun. Other than that, this gun has fed, fired, and ejected everything I've thrown at it. All types of ammo (the vast majority of it brass cased - I hate steel cased ammo) have functioned perfectly in this gun. Also, the gun is bone-stock. I have never done anything to it besides normal field stripping and cleaning. It is still on its original recoil spring, and I'm thinking of replacing that soon. This is that last gun that I'd sell and the one I'd grab in case of an emergency. Anyhow, just wanted to post a picture and brag on my baby. Carry on.
