toughest semi auto handgun?

44 Mag Desert Eagle?

 

[PGRChaplain]

Beretta 92 The Government spent millons of our $$$$ to figure that out.

What is this?! No love for the m&p series?! I have a full size 9mm pro series. That gun is phenomenal. Only have about 600 rounds through it but not a single malfunction yet

Although this argument is pretty ridiculous given the wide variety of excellent options out there, I am going to say the USP. The torture tests that it this particular series of handguns have excelled in are pretty impressive.

Glock 17 gen 3.

Depends what you intend by "tough" - are you talking about parts breakage or disablement of the weapon?

Striker fired pistols tend to be less prone to environmental factors, because they do not rely on external mechanisms. A little mud under a cocked hammer can slow it enough to prevent firing until you clear it out with a utencil.

Gen 3 Glock 23. Hands down.

I will bet my life on my Ruger P85.

 

[B6240]

Any glock in my opinion.

 

[atvdave]

Sig 226 (MK25)

........And YES---Glocks will blow up with too many lead rounds (uncleaned), or too many DOUBLE charged reloads...Bill.

Well, considering that lead and double charged rounds through any semi automatic weapon isn't very healthy for it...............Kabooms ain't just limited to the Glock.

I would have to say my list would be as follows:

1. Beretta 92f/s / M9 (proven track record, simplicity of design and dissasembly)
2. Sig 226/229 (Proven track record like beretta, but recoil spring needs replacing more often than the beretta. Also more comlicated to dissasemble.)
3. XD/M&P/Glock (they are all equal in reliability imo, choice would be by user comfort.(I prefer a M&P))
4. HK USP. (Dont have that much experience with it personally, but i have shot one and loved it, and all reviews seem to be very good. HK makes a quality product)
5. Browning Hi-Power (Classic, Proven Design. As much as i like 1911's, the Hi-power design is probably superior)

 

[ashby koss]

Glock 27, takes all Glock 40S&W magazines, can convert to 9mm and accept all 9mm Glock MAgazines.

2nd place: a 1911 easily

 

[SmokinSigs357]

SIG MK 25/P226. Second would be SIG P228.

Leave the tupperware in the kitchen...

 

[warthog]

Sig P226 is by far my favorite pistol, maybe a Ruger P90. Let's face it those old Rugers were overbuilt and weigh a ton. I'll never sell mine for sure.

 

[paperboy]

Ruger P series.....Especially the older all metal models...

 

[96firephoenix]

Glock or WWII 1911.

 

[Mark-DuCo]

Personally I think the XD's, M&P's and Glocks are all equally reliable, but the XD's fit my hand the best; therefore they are the most reliable to me as I shoot them the best.
