That's the Desert Eagle for movies this decade.
Screw the Sig and the Glock, just get one of these. Made by Arsenal. Available in a local Green Top for, oh a mere $5k or so.
I've seen one break and had one break myself; admittedly due to unusual circumstances, and nothing you'd normally encounter in use, but they aren't immune to damage. Any polymer pistol would have broken. They just happened to be Glocks.
Anything can fail if put through enough punishment.
These are tough pistols, but much like the AK, they won't live up to the legend that's been built around them if one pushes them to that point.
They are still good bush pistols, though; perhaps some of the best. Very popular, for many of the reasons people quote, and would certainly fit the requested bill in this thread.
I'm glad you mentioned the accuracy (precision, really), because it's surprisingly good. Still, most pistols are precise enough for most people. I've only found one that was less precise than me, and it was defective. Every other pistol I've handled could out-shoot anything I'm capable of.
I'll also note that while it's not the brightest in the world, the control design of the Glock weapon light is perhaps the best I've ever used. An X300 is superior from a light perspective, but that Glock unit is simply a far better design.

yes i understand everything breaks at some point, but it is two words to mean that they are tough. i also understand the precision part. everyone has an opinion and i have carried a few pistols over the years and have shot a little bit and for me i go with the glock. like i said before, go with what the op like as he is going to get a million different opinions. i just happen to be lucky enough to have seen many pistols and other guns for that matter proven or not in my world. cheers, c
Does that make it twice as reliable, or twice as unreliable as a standard 1911?
Exactly. Hence why the FBI is going to 9.
Spray and pray?
Wimps of the FBI cant handle the recoil of the .45?

Increasingly I'm seeing them on the market for the surefire lights-which is what I went with since I've trusted them for many other applications and Glock does great pistols but I was skeptical of their lights.
Another option is making your own if you want kydex. Trial and error, but it's yours to modify as you see fit. That's what I'm using at the moment, older shot but you get the point.

I'm not saying that this pertains to you, cause obviously I don't know you, but most pistols are very accurate. People that complain about the accuracy of their pistol are usually the problem and not the gun. The shooters trigger pull and sight picture are usually to blame. "Shooting Missology" and "Fighting Pistol" by James Yeager of Tactical Response are good videos to watch.
Kennith, I thought about the GLOCK brand light and laser but price and using the rail are limiting factors for me. The innerspring laser sight and no light may be the direction I go. Were you able to holster (or find a holster) that will work with the rail occupied?
Uggh. The new Bond movie is already defiled
Ok then, forget tupperware and go with a Beretta M9. Accurate, will eat anything you can feed it and when open carried it's big enough to say "leave me alone and go find a sheep".You're absolutely right.
Consider this: Every man-portable weapon in the military is a "used" weapon. They are scratched up, worn, and have seen thousands of rounds; well-maintained, but certainly not as precise as a brand new, carefully sculpted civilian model.

Now let's all get into the "element of surprise" from the cc only crowd.:smilelol:

I usually open carry an 8040 Mini Cougar, it's surprising how most people don't even notice it's there.

A very common misconception that a 9mm doesn't get the job done. It's been proven time and time again the current tech 9mm lugar round has plenty of stopping power.
Yeah, because that's so much worse than the idea of a break-down pistol made of gold...:rofl:
