I love my BHPs but they are not super right out of the box. They are serviceable in that condition but they need a little tweaking to make the sing.
My Les Baer TRS was pretty much on point from day one. My Dan Wesson CBOB as the same. I am really enjoying my CZ Shadow 2 and if I want to use it in the intended Production class I will leave it alone but I am tempted to tweak it a bit at CGW to make it "perfect." The HK P7 which sits for the most part in the back of the safe, except for Christmas time when I watch my favorite Christmas Movie Die Hard, needs nothing changed to make is a excellent German tack driver. I also own a Colt 70 reproduction which is tight as a tick is so good I just leave it stock. My P228s are close but I always change out a hammer spring. The same goes for my Sphinx pistols. So close but with a simple spring change I can drop the DA pull 1.5-2 lbs and they are 100% relaible so why wouldn't I. Now on the revolver side of the world I did not do a thing to my S&W 19, 13 or 28 not that they could not be improved but I don't shoot them enough to justify it. In the end I find most guns can benefit from minor tweaks to major remodels from stock condition but in the end in a pinch most would also do just fine in stock condition if I had to make that work.

With Only a Makarov background (I own EGs, a Bulgy and Russian), and moderate time with handguns, just bought a used CZ 75 PO1 (version of Compact).
This CZ already has a bit of wear, but the DA + SA trigger and ergos seem better than any other handgun I've tried. |

Even a Hi-Point C9 that I bought strictly to see if it could possibly be as bad as some people claim. It was probably the most surprising of all. Excellent accuracy, and 100% reliability. Which fulfilled it's intended purpose of dispelling the internet myths.

Beretta 92A1- has run flawlessly for thousands of rounds. Also had
very good performance from my FNX45. Both shot reliably straight from the box, and will shoot any ammo you feed them. |

A 1970 S&W model 41 , 22 LR , bought brand new in 1971.
I used it in NRA Indoor Bullseye matches for two years . Then a trip to Clark Custom Guns for a trigger job made it even better ! Gary |

Glock 17, 26.. no problems. At all.
Ruger P90.. no problems in terms of reliability, but a grip shape and texture (slippery as hell) that left an awful lot of room for improvement. Smith M&P Compact 1.0 (the old kind).. no problems. At all. Browning Buckmark.. no problems, but only had it less than a year because I wanted a .22 revolver instead. It still meets the criteria, though. There's only one pistol I've ever owned that was problematic, and very much so: a Kahr. I hesitate to recommend that company to anyone I consider an ally. |

In one of my Springfield Armory M1911A1, I shoot reloaded 230 gr FMJ RNs that I recover from range backstops.

Gotta say the Beretta 92FS. Silky-smooth, nice fit, minimal muzzle flip & shoots any old thing I feed it!

Fresh from the box, every Glock I have ever owned. None of them needed anything.

I've owned plenty of semis over the years kept, traded or sold most but my series 70 gold cup has been with me for over 35 years and it ain't going nowhere.

By far my Sarsilmaz K2P, Beretta PX4 Storm 9mm would be second. Taurus pt111 9mm is pretty close too. OMG so many choices.

My Glock 21 with the modifications it has which are night sights, SS Guiderod, 3.5# trigger connector, extended mag release. Takes this .45 to the next level.
Sig P229 40S&W Nothing else needs to be said about this bad boy. My G19 will eventually get some upgrades but I love it. My G43 with night sights added is a fine pocket 9mm that I carry almost every day. My Taurus PT-145 has been flawless for the 10yrs Ive owned it. Another good pocket gun with 10rds of 45acp. CZ-82 9mm Makarov is a fun gun to shoot and has always worked and is very accurate which is surprising considering it was a $200 surplus buy. Hell I guess I consider all my semi auto buys to be to notch. |

Only one out of my 4 semi's deserves the top honors as far as undeniable flawless functioning no matter what ammo I throw at it, and also top honors in fit, finish and overall quality completely box stock :
FNX 45T A close second is my Beretta 92FS , but my Beretta's trigger is tough and has a long pull, the FNX's trigger is a perfect balance of crisp and pull weight. My G35 Glock also cycles flawlessly, but I just don't like the way it recoils (snappy). I get trigger slap on my finger, and racking the slide takes a very tight finger/thumb pinch to not slip.
