Maybe I'm a lucky one, but I have an early series 80 with 70,000 rounds plus through it with NO problems related to the weapon. Had a few feed jams when I tried to feed it with some cheap magazines (3 for $5-what was I thinking?), and a few with poorly made reloads. Other than that-it has taken all kinds of abuse. Have replaced the barrel bushing and slide stop every 20,000 rounds, and springs twice in its life so far. Cost? 400 in 1990 dollars.
Neither have been to a gunsmith for "reliability" work, or any other work for that matter. Have tried to get it to hiccup with everything from the 155 LSWC's to the 200 grain flying ashtray, along with everything else I can find.
New 1991A1 with 1500 rounds-cycles everything. 500 in 2001 dollars. What reliability issue?
