None. Each company has turned out a lemon here and there, no matter how expensive or "high end" they are.
But, Glock usually sets the standard for reliability, specifically the G17.Comment

Glock.
I've heard of the occasional unreliable glock, but I've heard of bigfoot, too.Comment

All machines need to be checked for function. Firearms are no different. One may come off the assembly line and work perfectly for many years. The next may have a hidden flaw that would have it fail immediately while another may seem fine for some time only to cease working well later.People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

Glocks don't like me. I have tried 2 Glock 17's and they both jammed (stovepipe) constantly. They were not maintained 100% of the time but not abused either.Comment

My G19 stovepipes sometimes when limpwristing it (happened to me when I first shot it- does not happen to me anymore), my G17 fails to feed sometimes with aftermarket mags. I've never had a problem with my USPs, P226, or Wilson.Comment

Reliable semiauto
I can't speak for all semiautos, but I have 2 Glocks, 2 H&K USPs and 2 Sigs, and they have been just about perfect over thousands of rounds. My Glock 19 stovepiped once, and I would have taken a picture of it if I had a camera with me, it was so rare.
So I would vote for Glock, Sig and H&K as roughly equal in reliability.Comment

I have never had an unreliable gun other than a early-production ParaOrdnance P10.
And I had a terribly inaccurate S&W 645 autoloader that only liked 230gr FMJ, but I blame that on the British (early 80s Bangor-Punta production). It would not shy me away however from getting a 3rd gen S&W 45 auto or 4506 etc. given my happiness w/my 10mm 1006.
I have had guns made unreliable by magazines (Springfield Armory) but fixed those issues by throwing out the stock mag and replaced 'em using gun show USGI phosphated mags.
But other than this above, I've never worried about my guns not going bang or jamming.
