Which Manufacturer makes the most Durable semi-auto pistols?

[Tamara]

Boats,

Those that haven't rusted away, that is...

 

[Plan-B]

Uh, the one that everybody always leaves off lists like this. Say it with me now, WALTHER. IMNSHO, of course.

I was going to say something like that too. Walther seems to be the forgotten brand. Oh well, more for me then.

 

[Handy]

Which aluminum framed Walther is the most durable pistol ever?

 

[Pete]

Never heard of a kb! on a Ruger!

 

[J.Gillespie]

Glad to see no one voted for a Taurus.
I went with Glock. Mine has be true to me for thousands of rounds.

 

[jc2]

Main Entry: du·ra·ble

Able to last a long time--let's see, I have a Colt pushing 50 years old and Walther well over 50 years old.

Anybody have a Glock over 20 years old?

 

[Ala Dan]

First choice, Glock.

Second choice, H&K.

Final choice, Oh Well! You Decide?


Best Wishes,

2 words: GLOCK PERFECTION

I think that says it all, a company who dares to define themselves as perfection.

and they are still being modest

Just make sure it's not an E-prefix numbered Glock, or the 2 words you choose might change a little.

 

[Boats]

Don't waste your time jc2. None of these Glock voters are going to waste their time actually understanding the thrust of the poll before voting for their ugly babies as usual.

Other polls Glocks win, written by other Glock owners:

Which pistol is easiest to rhyme with in a gangsta rap song?

If you found yourself at the bottom of the Marianas Trench and needed to shoot one of those aliens from The Abyss with the external water pressure at 3,000 psi which pistol would you choose?

If you saw a skydiver falling from 6,000 feet and his 'chute fails to open, when he splatters on the ground, what pistol do you hope he was packin' so you can take it before the ambulance arrives?

Which is the best plastic pistol available in 10mm?

If the Austrian army were actually a fighting force of some repute, do you think more military services would use the Glock?

Are the majority of elite military units around the world that don't use the Glock run by idiots who don't know any better?

There are others, but I can't seem to dumb myself down enough to come up with any more. Perhaps I should go to the dealer today and hear more blandishments about how the cops REALLY use Glocks because they are the best and not actually because they are lowest bid weapons designed to be used by people who cannot manage a manual safety without forgetting to take it off before firing. If Forrest Gump had become a cop, chances are he'd want a Glock.

 

[MacPelto]

Most designs made by most of the listed makers haven't been around long enough to be called really durable. 20 years does NOT a durable gun make, and as there aren't any Glocks older than this out there, they shouldn't even be listed.

Now why isn't FN/Browning listed?

 

[Kentucky Rifle]

I've owned my G27 since early 1998 and the only thing I've done to it is buy night sights. I don't think they're so ugly!

KR

 

[Zander]

Glock! Hands down.

Well, except for the 150,000 or so that they made in late 2001 and early 2002.

 

[Midnight]

Is there really even a debate on this?

Glock

 

[Michigun]

Boats, it doesn't look very close on your end... GLOCK is it!

Which do you think would last in a landfill; GLOCK or a 1911?

Dippers beat just about everything in a landfill & they ain't made of all steel now are they?

 

[Boats]

I cannot account for so many people misreading the poll. . . .however I know which pistol I'd be most inclined to throw into a landfill and it "ain't made of all steel."

 

[T.Stahl]

Well, some hard facts:
Hirtenberger (the ammo manufacturer) says they shot 348,210 rounds through a Glock 17 before they needed to replace the barrel.
Anyone who can top that?
Not that I know.

 

[Peetmoss]

Have to say Glock

 

[rick458]

Hmmm lets think about this
we have a pistol developed in 1908 and went into production in 1911 and fought in 4 Major wars and god knows how many minor ones and a pistol made in the 1980s and IT is more durable
the 1911 has BEEN there and Done that the glock hasen't even been there yet
I would think it is the one that has been around for 95 years
but that is just an opinion better keep those glock out of the sun light too.

 

[Midnight]

Where do you live that the sun heats to over 350 degrees?

And I suppose that the B2 Stealth Bomber is inferior to the B-52 because the B-52 has more time in combat?

Please.

 

[Rob999]

Just wondering, How come Browning HPs are not in the poll? Got the HP Mk III and it has been utterly reliable, no FTF or jams... For full size pistols, the HP gets my vote.

 

[sig970]

You can't beat plastic for durability.

 

[Michigun]

Heck, even those "1911 makers" are going with "plastic" more & more.......

 

[Politically Incorrect]

There is a reason that Glocks are known as a revolver with a mag.

I don't know why anyone would say that. I've never seen a revolver with a plastic frame.
