As nutnfancy might say, "just another data point"...

 
Glock gets my vote.

NAA.
 
I have a glock 17 as a back-up for my 92FS in case of failure but, the glock is still new, unfired lolll === just a joke
But, i remember only one incident, my friend bought some pack of ammo, it was in box of 20, mil-surplus for sure, don't know from wich planet but, the glock 17 and ruger kp-89
where always malfunction with thoses ammo, they refuse to ignit almost all the time, like if hammer (firing pin) didn't punch hard enough, some case stay jammed in the ruger, once finaly fired BUT, the beretta digest all the 10 round with no failure, 3 mag in a row, i end up with the 2 remaining box as i was the only one that can fire them...

Later, a gunsmith told us that it MIGHT be somme ammo for SMG of open bolt type, he explain us that the primer was stiffer to prevent slam-fire before the bolt was totaly closed, don't know if true but... my beretta took them all....

I believe that the handgun that has been documented to fire the most rounds without any failure, as tested by a major (independent) agency (in this case the Texas Department of Public Safety) was the Sig 226 in .357 Sig. If my memory serves me right, four pistols fired over a million rounds without a single failure. Considering the reputation of the P226 to begin with and the fact that it feeds a 9 mm cartridge case in a 10 mm cartridge hole in the .357 Sig, it explains the fantastic reliability.
 
these articles are over 10 years old. The sig is reliable,....but so is the USP series and the glock.
 
Very old articles and I am sure the 92F is super reliable as are the vast majority of guns sold today. When I re-read the article I thought that if I had to pick up, load and then rely upon any handgun without having the opportunity to test fire/practice etc I think I would choose a revolver as there is simply less to potentially go wrong.

Bullsh*t. Revolvers contain far more parts and require fine tuning to function properly. The problems associated with revolvers and using them are many and common. Any quality modern day auto (SIG, Glock, HK) will easily out perform and outlast a wheel gun.

Being that i'm not much of a revolver guy, your saying they have more parts than a 1911 at approx 45 parts excluding the mags. Or a CZ 75 at 64 parts with mag?

Yep, most revolvers sport 50 plus parts and many are hand fitted and/or tuned to the revolver. Swapping parts between two identical wheel guns does not yield the same results as doing the same with two autos. Lots of small internal parts in a revolver with small crevices for crap to collect. All for six rounds(ok maybe 8 in some).

TDC

ETA: Just checked out an S&W model 586(quite popular and common) and its running 87 parts

Here's an S&W model 10, been in production since 1899 I believe, reportedly S&W's longest running most successful revolver. Its coming in at 86 pieces as far a I can tell.

Glocks run 35, including the 5 pieces in the magazine. SIG's run about 55 including the magazine, a 1911 is 58
