If the guns not reliable I'd look into getting something else. I think having a gun that functions reliably is the most important thing for defense. Depending on your funds and what your priorities are you've got to make a hard decision. I'd look into getting a used gun semi-auto or revolver but probably a revolver since they're cheaper.
Forget about the coolness factor, get a gun that works that you feel you can depend on. Despite the bad experience you've had with a Ruger auto I'd try to find a Ruger revolver (GP-100, SP-101, Serurity Six). Ruger revolvers are regarded highly by revolver shooters.
In autos 9mm Sig, Glock, and Browning HP's are always good choices.
