In the past 18 months I've put about 17,000 rounds down the pipe of a few guns. My P220 has about 4,700 of them. My P226 .40 has about 5,000 of them. My G17 has about 4,800 of them. Those are my autoloaders. The remaining rounds went through revolvers. So let's divide this into rounds that count and those that don't. 2,500 rounds don't have a dog in this fight.
No failures on the P220 - of any kind. Same with the P226 failures on MY Glock. But the only gun I had ANY sort of failure on during this time frame was a rental G19 that fired, rechambered and then had this funny feel to it - no trigger reset. Yup broken trigger spring.
Does that mean the Glock is inferior? Nope, not at all. It just means that it's the only gun I've had a mechanical failure stop the show with in nearly 15,000 rounds of shooting. My firearms do not routinely lie between me and a deadly threat, nor are they ever likely to. Will I avoid my Glock in a bad situation? Nope. I shoot it pretty well and whether it's the Glock, my 220 or my 226, the dork on the receiving end is gonna stop trying to do whatever provoked me to do what I did to him. Simple as that.
