Agreed. Not too many had problems with Glocks, HK's, SIG's or CZ's and I am not aware of anybody storing a gun in mud or sand on a regular base either. I had most of my favorite shooters at the range and put 500+ rounds through it without a problem. The ammo used would be more of a concern for me.MechAg94 wrote:I missed out on a lot of this thread. With the Glock, it seems a lot of people come back to not liking the grip or the way it points. For pure reliability, I think the Glock has the edge in handling being dirty and unlubricated better, but that is just my view/experience. I think if you cleaned and loaded both pistols, then set them on a shelf or somewhere to collect dust/lint for a year, I would bet on the Glock to function 100% over the Sig. I think the actual difference is so small it may not be worth worrying about. Personal preference and experience with your particular hand gun are probably much bigger factors.
Personal preference was my decision point to sell my Glock's and when time comes to slim down to one or two handguns it is H&K for me. As a matter of fact I consider H&K handguns as reliable as Gluck's. My P30 has a round count of well over 10,000 now and it is as smooth and reliable as it can get.
