The Remington 870 of handguns?

K-frame S&W's will not digest too many rounds without problems. Hence the larger L-frame. While I personally prefer S&W's the Ruger GP100 is a very stout handgun.

Another vote for the 1911. Cant go wrong with one.

I wasnt aware size has a thing to do with durability, explain.

For an auto: a 1911 or Glock (pick your respective flavors).
For a revolver: a S&W k-frame or a Ruger GP-100.
