    HK. My P2000 and my P2000sk have both been flawless.

    Contrary to what someone above said, I've never had trouble finding parts. Not that I've needed many, only spare magazines, flat baseplates (personal preference), and the extended mag release from the 45c, which is the only essential add-on ($24). Unlike some allegedly less expensive guns I've owned in the past, I've never needed to spend much on an HK, they just work right out of the box.

      I wonder why no one mentioned Beretta 92/96 series, never fails no matter where it's made. The only other pistol I'd trust to function perfectly including consideration for my SW revolvers would be USP. USP has accuracy advantage on Berettas hands down.

      that's my experience including shooting reloads of all kinds (components, power factor), long cleaning intervals and longer range accuracy shooting.

      Glock extractor problem or brass-in-face issue has been around since at least gen 2. My 1989 gen2 G19 and newer G22 both do it occasionally. Several other gen2, gen3, G21s, G17s, G19s and G22s I've sold or seen all do it. none of my Berettas, HK USPs, 1911s or Sigs do that even occasionally.

      Don't count your hits and congratulate yourself, count your misses and know why.

        Do you think that is due to low pressure rounds? I have put hundreds (not thousands yet) down my G20SF and never seen one land within 4 feet of me.

          The Service models for Glock, Sig, Beretta, HK, all Top Drawer.

          It doesn't matter with yesteryear.

          CZ...never seen any CZ fail, seen lots of CZ models come & go..don't know why, they all shot well...good luck with your Grandkids servicing any model handgun that was discontinued in your lifetime.

              Low pressure rounds definitely have more occurrences of it. What I remember seeing was with factory and handloads of standard pressure as well as major factor loads. It's an occasional thing but it bothers you to no end especially during a competition.

              I'm sure not all Glocks do this but it's a common Glock issue that gets reported more often than others.

                I wonder how many of these happen on the ones where people get heavier springs than rated for their caliber.

                  No Ruger love? My SR9c has over 5,000 rounds with zero issues.

                    Not the ones I saw/shot. Still no brass-in-face with heavier or lighter springs from other guns. I love the Glock design concept (once fanboy) but too many excuses (limp wristing, ammo this/that, extractor, thumb on slide etc) for a supposedly robust, reliable gun in my opinion.
