I was just speaking in general. People make videos where they do stupid stuff to guns, and everyone says "that's why I carry a --------." Well, it shouldn't be. You should carry it because it is reliable in an EDC environment with your defense ammo of choice, and you shoot and operate it well in less than ideal circumstances.
Whatevrr you carry, if you're going to war in the desert, get good at malfunction drills.
