Ruger!! My KP95DC has been the most reliable!! The only thing that has stopped it was a stoppage after trying to digest to many wolves!!! 
The laquer from the cases dirtied it up to the point where it had to stop and take a shower!! 
Even my Glocks have given me break in pains!! Not the Ruger. They're big and ugly, but they work!!

You can answer more than one, as well. I should've put CZ on the poll instead of Walther, as there are more CZs than Walthers out there....oh well.
Just curious to see which guns get the most votes.

I have three Makarovs, and all three functioned flawlessly, right out of the box (after cosmoline removal of course)!
No break-in required, they feed anything and everything reliably, and are as accurate as auto loaders costing hundreds of dollars more. Sights are also dead on, with the two Bulgarians that have fixed sights.
The Maks have no reliability issues that I'm aware of, unlike many other pistols, and are a breeze to clean and lube.

From personal experience and "online" reputation, I'll agree with the Ruger P95DC. Mine was $199 new 
HK Mk.23 --3000 rounds, no failures of any kind
HK P7M8(2)-4000 rounds, no failures of any kind
Glock21--4000 rounds, a few failure to fire in the first 300 rounds
Glock34--3000 rounds, no failures
Walther P99(9mm)-750 rounds, no failures
CZ85b--500 rounds, no failures
Sig P245-500 rounds, no failures
All ammo was my reloads!

1911
Helloooooooooo!!!
Well, I have a bit of catching up to do as far as my firearm collection is concerned. I have a Ruger SP101 .357 mag. revolver and my Kimber Custom 1911. Since I have never owned any of the other firearms mentioned I had no choice but to vote for the 1911. However, my Kimber is very reliable and it does its job every time I pull the trigger which is good enough for me to qualify as reliable.

As I write this the 1911 has about 4.85% of the vote.
I do not see how anyone can think that the average out of the box 1911 can be considered more reliable than more modern designs.

Ruger most reliable
My Ruger P95DC with stainless upper is the most reliable pistol I own or have ever handled.
Never a jam or failure to do anything with all types of ammo.
A Ruger P95 with good pre-ban hi caps is a formidable weapon.

"I do not see how anyone can think that the average out of the box 1911 can be considered more reliable than more modern designs."
The 1911 design has been around now for 90+ years now. To me, that means the design is a good and reliable one. Also, Kimber IMHO is more than your average out of the box 1911. They're a good company with a outstanding reputation. I plan on keeping my Kimber 1911 for as long as it will last which is most probably longer than I myself will last. Question is, will that "tactical tuppaware" that Glock and H&K make last as long as a good 1911? We'll see.........
