Handgun that will run anything?

[Mr. Beretta]

Beretta 92 F / FS !

My 1985 Beretta 92 F has never, ever had a problem with ammo.

If it fits in the mag, it will shoot in the gun!

My Glock 17 will eating anything but broccoli. Haha.

I'm gonna say ruger super redhawk. It'll go through every round every time guaranteed. 6 shots of +p+, subsonic, 320gr buffalo bore, and standard .44mag rounds. Wheelgun for the win!!

OP never said anything about it being a semi so I'm gonna say i'm on the right track here.

wow i surprise all of the suggestion are wrong, specially the glocks. except for the wheel gun suggestion.

the reason why i say glocks do not fit the bill is because the usage of lead bullets (reloads) in polygonal rifling can cause excessive fouling. excessive fouling could cause an over pressure issue that will eventually lead to the famous KABOOM if left unchecked.

IMO, the only gun that fits ops requirements are HK USPs. All HKs are rated for +p+ ammo, so even if you get a over pressure reloads, you will be fine. though HK also have polygonal rifling for their barrels, the chamber and rifling is much smoother than the glock. in addition, the polygonal rifling profile in HK is also does not get foul up as much with lead bullets.

so glock guys, sorry that i burst your bubble. Glocks are good for what it is, but its not the end solution for all HG problem. also HK is the original mass production polymer pistol designer. VP70, rings a bill?

SIG 229/9. So reliable its boring. Plus ridiculously accurate.

Any gun that has a less supported chamber and a deep throat should run anything fine. Of my XD, Sig, and Glock, my XD has the least supported chamber. All three guns have always ate anything without complaint.

Not shooting lead in a factory glock barrel is a valid concern that no one has brought up yet, but to the Hk suggestion, doesn't Hk also recommend to not use lead in them?

[wu_dot_com]

Ok, the overwhelming answer is.... Get a glock.
Aight, looks I have a little research and a lot of playing to find the right one.

unfortunately all those answers are wrong. do your self a favor, get the right gun that will fit your needs. ignore what the bandwagon suggest.

ya thats what i say too. but i dont think glock owners either realize that is problem or they just pretend the problem don't exist.

HK does also have the polygonal rifling. but the profile is different. the foul up is less prone. one of the biggest problem with foul up is that it will generate over pressure issue, but HK is the only known manufacture that design and proof their barrels to overpressure loads.

in essence, both glock and HK have the same issue with lead bullets, but HK is safer because you can ignore the problem for a little longer.

You said "handgun", so a revolver.

Another handgun that is a freak of nature is the ruger P89. Those things are rattle traps that keep going and going and going. Like the old 1982 toyota pickup, went 280,000 miles and blew a head gasket. Replaced that and it ran like a top again. The P89 is one that will keep running and need next to nothing for maintenance.

Look at the P89
P90
P95
P345d


All fantastic guns that will keep going reliably for 20k rounds no issues whatsoever. They're truly a work horse.

[Bill Steele]

Do ya think?

That is not a Beretta problem. That IS an owner maintenance issue.

Um, I think that was my point.

But I guess we can never over do the importance of proper maintenece.

Glock, Run it dirty, wet or dry. Regardless of what you feed it, It will run.

[adrenaline]

So far, my HK USP 9mm hasn't had a single failure on all kinds of ammo I put through it. I need to get some reloads through it still....I think my next range trip, I'll try and shoot my buddies reloads and report on that. He's been reloading some 9mm.

[SpringfieldEMP]

Lots of great suggestions. Thanks!
For the wheel gun guys, is there a wheelgun that will run 9mm Luger? Or 45acp?

[chim-chim7]

Glock, really? According to Glock standards they have the most limitations on ammo.
Why is it that when someone mentions their Glock we have to see the same boring pictures over and over again in every post? I swear that OD Glock is almost as bad as Hello Kitty. Not trying to insult the guy, but come on. Greg Dog impersonator.
