Hope the ATF doesn't read this.
I've owned = Kimber Pro-Carry, Two other other Kimber 3" 1911's, Springfield Champion, 5"Springfield 1911, Smith and Wesson model 60, Beretta Cheetah .22, 2-Ruger P-95DC's, 2- Glock 19's, Glock 26, Inoxed Beretta 92, Glock 36, Ruger Sp101, Sig Sauer 232, Kahr P9, Kahr PM9, Kahr K9, SigSauer 228, Smith and Wesson CS40, Smith and Wesson 3913, Smith and Wesson M&P 40, XD subcompact 9mm, XD 9mm, Walther ppk/s, Mossberg 500 (full stock). I'm sure there's more, just can't remember 8 years worth of collecting right now.
What I still have = Beretta 92 blue finish, Ruger SP101, Browning Hi-Power, FN p-9, Walther p99 Compact, Ruger Mini 14, Egyptian AK 47, Benelli M1 super 90, pistol grip Mossberg 500 shotgun, World War II era M1 Carbine.
The Walther 99 is my conceal carry gun and goes everywhere with me. But if you're thinking about getting a gun, get whatever you like. Any gun from any major manufacturer will not have any problems and will be more reliable than you need it to be. Glock reliablility is a myth and any major name brand gun is just as reliable, I know, I've owned almost every major manufacturer's gun there is to own. As far as Glock's go I had one break on me and had to wait a week for Glock to send me part, and had another friend send his Glock back and Glock had it lost in their factory for a couple of months till they located it. My Glock 26 was very innaccurate and had to have the rear sight drifted over, part of the sight was hanging off the slide, to me this is unnacceptable and has soured me on Glock. But this is just my opinion, I recommend doing as much research as possible and going with what you're happy with.
