My 45UC has proven reliable with the right ammo (Mag Tech, Blazer). My 9UC has proven even more reliable, having never turned it's nose up at any ammo I've fired in it.
I wouldn't hesitate to get the matte or stainless, but I've held off on nickel because of the cleaning issue.
Yes, we've had reports that the Firestorm Mini guns (9, 40, 45) are coming with two magazines. Not the .380acp, .32 cal or 22lr, though.
p-t-max
I'm no expert, I'm just, well---opinionated!
