The Glock 17 Gen5 demonstrates excellent reliability, handling various ammunition types including steel and aluminum-cased rounds without malfunctions.

The Remington RP9 is a full-size 9mm striker-fired pistol that suffers from significant design flaws and reliability issues.

These issues lead to a strong recommendation against purchasing the RP9.
