  • That was true until about the late 90’s. There are quite a few modern pistols that are equally reliable, and require little maintenance. I’ve fired thousands of rounds through my Glock 21 and although I clean it after every time, I certainly don’t have to. And I’ve never had a malfunction of any kind. Not one. Some guys I know clean theirs two or three times a year.

    Now there are some rather unreliable brands out there still, so I imagine that’s why the cliche still exists.

    You’re buying the wrong pistols then. You can throw a Glock in mid then run 800 rounds through it without cleaning, without jamming. And reloading a pistol is much easier than reloading a revolver. They also don’t kick nearly as much as a revolver, making them far more accurate.
