The M2 "Grease gun" was favored by troops over the M1928 Thompson, for much the same reason. But outside of dirty/dusty/muddy combat conditions, there's no doubt which was the better made weapon.

Nothing against Glocks, but that was more torture test to find the breaking point, rather than a reliability test. He even said he didn't care about 500 rounds before FTF or FTE, and several of his "tests" produced failures to feed, extract, fire, or even move the slide, until he knocked all the gunk out.

The HK was not much different, except he had to use compressed air to blow the shotblast media out of the more finely machined parts. A Kimber, Wilson, Baer, etc., would also have failed. A Kel-Tec would have passed. Heck, an RG would have passed, except for the number of rounds fired!

Glocks are fine guns. I'd trust my life to one. Doesn't mean that what I prefer to carry.
