I have M&Ps instead of Glocks for the plastic framed pistol and a TRP for the 1911. Both are extremely reliable (and the TRP is really nice). I have somewhere just north of 35,000 rounds through my M&P 9 Pro. Only issues I have had with feeding was due to trying to slam feed a magazine on reloads. When I stopped trying to make the pistol do that, I had no more issues. Runs like a sewing machine. I have somewhere north of 20,000 rounds through my M&P 45 and have had no issues other that a couple that were caused by a reloading mistake by me. Don't have near as many rounds through the TRP but no functioning issues with it either.

I took a Tactical Pistol Operator Class at CSAT (Paul Howe) this spring. He shoots Glocks although he owns a 1911. I asked him what he used when he was in Delta. He told me they were issued two 1911s, an MP5, and an M-4. I asked why 2 1911s. He said that there were more than a few times when they had to do multiple missions in a day. Cleaning the 1911 and getting it ready to go back out took a while so they had two of them. He said he can get his Glock cleaned and ready to go again much faster than a 1911. He also told me that just about all of the problems people have with pistols at his classes are with 1911s (either they don't know how to run them or they have mechanical problems).

I like my M&Ps and my TRP but my full size M&P 45 is my go to pistol and I carry my M&P 45 C whenever I can.
