Question

What are the top 5. 9mm handguns that never jam

Answer 1

All guns jam at some point

Answer 2

Like someone else said, never is a pretty tall order.

My Kel-Tec pf-9 has never jammed yet with 1200 rounds through it.

My Ruger P-90 has never jammed either (i know not a 9mm but its the only other handgun i've never had a jam).

My Sig P225/P6 will shoot FMJs all day but won't feed hollow points with any kind of reliability.  

Answer 3

Sorry, no such thing as a semi auto pistol that "never" jams. This is why you need to take some specific training before depending on a semi auto, so that you know how to clear different types of jams that may occur. And so that you know how to prevent many of them.

as far as top models, it is more of a personal choice. Many people have favorites, and ones that they dislike. My opinion is that as long as you go with one of the quality manufacturers such as S&W, Glock, Ruger, Sig, Browning (just to name a few) and avoid junk like Lorcin, etc you will be fine. Just try several out to see what fits and works best for you. But again, don't think for a minute that they won't jam.

I've carried a firearm both on and off duty for over 30 years. I prefer a pistol, and I prefer .45acp but have carried 9's as well. Although I am very well trained in maintenance and use of pistols, as well as repair of them, I still prepare and train to handle and clear any type of jam I may encounter, and I think over the years I have had every kind of jam there is! ;0)

Answer 4

i agree revolvers are less prone to jam in a semi auto theres alot of moving parts.

Answer 5

Sharon, any semi auto pistol can jam given the way most cycle an empty case out and bring a live round into the barrel chamber. If your looking to buy a semi auto here a few things to check on the weapon that can reduce jams or stovepipes. As a small arms instructor we teach that a jam occurs when a live round is going through the process of being chambered and just at the point it has fired and is starting to extract itself from the chamber. A stovepipe is a condition where a spent case will turn upright or side ways at the ejection port and the slide or possibly the magazine follower will trap it and grab it. It will look like a stove pipe sticking out of the weapon. To eliminate these look for a weapon that has a polished feed ramp, a secure magazine catch, and no rough edges on the magazine follower. A few manufactures have magazine catches the "grip the clip" on both sides. Also look for weapons that have a large ejection area and hardened ejectors. I have several of the Ruger pistols and seldom have issues with them. I also have a FN 49 that has never given me a problem. Fabrique National makes these, hope this helps.

Answer 6

All semi-autos could jam. Limp wristing, bad ammo, lack of cleaning..etc.

I have never had a problem with my Ruger SR9, Beretta Px4 Storm or my Springfield XD. I break each of my handguns in with Fiocchi bullets and after about 50 rounds any brand of ammo works.

My buddy shoots a Taurus 24/7 pro with no issue. His Ruger P89 eats through anything. .....

Just stay away from Smith and Wesson Semi-autos.

Answer 7

If you are talking about a semi-auto, then no gun is jam-proof...bad technique like limp-wristing can cause a stovepipe jam.  Also, even factory ammo sometimes has a problem with powder variations,which can cause a jam.

Answer 8

Your gun is a mechanical device.  It needs regular cleaning, like after you shoot it, a little oil at the slide, trigger, hammer, action, where ever your owners manual indicates....just a little, and wipe off the excess.  It needs maintenance, if something is worn or broken, replace it.  Take it to a gunsmith from time to time for a through cleaning and professional inspection.  Make sure you clean and inspect your magazine(s) from time to time...your gun can and will jam from rounds not being fed properly.  Pretty much any quality semi auto hand gun will give you many years of reliable service.

Answer 9

Let stop talking about revolvers since there really aren't any 9MM revolvers. As far as semi-automatic 9MM's go, in my experience the following models are highly reliable:

1. Beretta 90-TWO

2. HK USP

3. Ruger SR9

All of these I own and have not had a single jam with.

Answer 10

I agree revolvers are less prone to jam in a semi auto theres allot of moving parts.

Answer 11

ALL handguns can jam.  A revolver lock-up (heat and fouling caused this on a GP100 that I owned back in the early 1990s) is the worst.  The gun has to cool down before you can do anything.  Ruger, Glock, Beretta, SigArms and HK all have very good reputations for "out of the box" reliabilty and little break-in is required for reliable operation.  A well-made 1911 usually requires a few hundred rounds at a minimum to relieve some tolerances for jam free shooting.

Answer 12

The only hand guns with the lowest jam rates are revolvers.  All semi-auto handguns are prone to jamming.

Answer 13

I only know of one 9mm that never jams.  It can't jam because wheel-guns don't jam. They can misfire but they don't jam so try to find a Ruger SP-101 in 9mm.  Maintenance and proper lubing is critical to keep a semi-auto from jamming.  Magazines must also be disassembled and cleaned but not lubed.  A semi-auto must be held right and not 'limp-wrist' in order to not jam.  Extremely dependable are the Glocks.  The Glock Models G17, G19, G26 are all excellent choices. Others are a matter of opinon and personal choice.  Personal experience with a duty Ruger P-89 for me also proved to be jam-free.  

H&K, Colt 1911, Sig, Beretta, Browning are all high-end pistols available in 9mm known to be very trouble free.  The early Smith & Wesson Models 39 & 59 were great also, but stay away from anything that bears the S&W logo and the model name Sigma.  From personal experience the first generation Sigmas were very 'iffy,' to put it nicely.

Hope that helped.

Answer 14

My Glock 19 and Glock 17 have not jammed yet after several thousand rounds. Never is a pretty tall order though. I think eventually someday one of them might jam, but on balance they are extremely reliable.

Answer 15

I have a stainless steel CZ 75-B that I have fired a couple thousand rounds through and has never jammed.  not to say it won't, but compared to my .45 (stovepipes all the time) it is friggin spectacular.  It is also really, really easy to clean, also is fairly priced, has great balance, and is accurate.
