Springfield!
My Springfield has never malfunctioned. Ever. 15,000 round estimated (I have two 5lb coffee cans full of primers from my reloading just to verify).
Everything from ultra-light 155 gr LSW to 200 gr JHP's plus all the 230 gr hardball for brass functioned perfectly.
I have seen many .45 fail but these wer imitations from the Chinese and other non-notables. My Para-Ord was bought used with considerable work done by a gunsmith. It failed shortly after I bought it because of a failed extractor. I have since replaced its firing pin (Series 80 #$%#$%!) but I do admire this safety factor.
Once all modifications were done, this new stalwort in my stable has proved utterly reliable. It functions with all ammo, be it 700 ft/sec target or 200 gr 1100 ft/sec hunting.
