Here we go again...
Hmm...
If memory serves, three M9 slides cracked during training excercises over 25 years ago. About 10 or so sample guns were tested and they all developed similiar slide failures. Beretta identified the problem and fixed it over 25 years ago. With factory magazines, these are among the most reliable autoloaders ever produced.
Okay, here are some more observations:
You should sell that Colt. Didn't you ever read that Colts don't hold their timing very well? That might not be your personal experience, but that is internet "dirt" on Colts. Heck, everyone knows that Colts are fragile. Right?
Recent Ruger autoloader releases have stumbled and there have been two recent safety recalls. There are still a lot of complaints about SR9 barrel peaning. I guess that you should sell the Ruger as well, because Ruger doesn't know how to make a good autoloader. Right?
You also might want to be careful about the Steyr. The reason that nobody complains about them is that hardly anyone actually owns one. Aside from the Beretta information, this is probably the most accurate thing that I've said so far.
I'm sorry. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I want to make the point that you can easily talk yourself out of any handgun on the market. In my opinion, you are suffering from "paralysis by analysis."
The cure is to rent some guns, and then buy a gun from a manufacturer that has a "good" reputation for quality and that has good customer service. If you end up with a lemon, then send it in for repairs.
If it were me, I'd trust any of the following autoloader manufacturers:
S&W, Springfield Armory, Glock, Beretta, HK, Sig, CZ
Other people might include other manufacturers to the list. These are just the companies that I'd personally buy an autoloader from.
Having said this, I can all but assure you that each of these manufacturers have put out at least one lemon in the last few years.
All gun manufacturers make mistakes. Some of those mistakes get past QA/QC and into the public's hands. That doesn't mean that you should distrust every handgun under the sun.
