Well it was just a side not sort of thought that same to mind.
Dear THR
If fired on daily basis 500 rounds without cleaning ever, which of the following will break or malfunction first in your opinion:
Glock 17
HK USP
Sig Sauer 226
Thanks.
I have learned from this thread that very few folks own an HK.
I does seem odd to me though that the most experienced and best trained military operators we have in our special forces seem to be misinformed and pick an HK firearm when they can have any that they like, given that the chairborne rangers here feel its the least reliable.

Your point? They also use P226's.

Somehow I doubt this is the case. Individual personnel may have some input as to their loadout for any mission, to some degree. But weapons contracts are decided by bureaucrats.

YUP!The Hi-Point
I also agree all three are exellent.Does it really matter? They are all excellent pistols, with proven track records. One man's experiment with a sample of three is gonna prove, or disprove, what?
I know, I'm a party pooper.
Unless you're IN the military, in which case your Glock better take Beretta M9 parts.Yes thaye are all excellent firearms and all very reliable if they were good to go after the first 500 rounds which is usually when the defect will show up if there is one. The Glock is certainly mroe resistant to sand and mud because its striker fired, and has less moving parts than a hammer fired gun.
The military has in the past required a hammer fired gun becuase it hits the primers harder, at least that is the theory. In my range experience that is not true. You can also change out any part on your Glock in the field with a simple tool, and parts are readily availible.

But now it's a disease for which the cure is a $5.00 a day pill. For some reason, people that don't have insurance do just fine without this wonder cure.

There's a reason why the US Navy is transitioning away from them.
That's not really true.
I've seen plenty of 1911's, Sig's, and a few Glocks on military folks. The M9 is just the pistol we hand out.
