Here’s some companies whos every model is reliable. I’m sure there are others but I cant recall.
Beretta
Sig Sauer
Glock
Heckler & Koch
CZ ( I used to own a CZ-75. It will function even with a limp wrist)
Taurus
Smith & Wesson ( revolvers are good but the autos are hit and miss from model to model. I’ve shot three or four )
Ruger ( very reliable but kinda chunky in the hand)
For carrying a couple of good safety options are De-cockers or DAO (double action only).
I hear El Cajon Gun Mart is having a sale, not sure though.
