Not even gonna comment on some of the BS above...
From the first M9 pistol trials:
Endurance testing:
S&W 459 developed frame crack between 4.5k and 5k rounds; another developed frame crack at 6.5k rounds.
SIG P226 developed frame crack at 6,523 rounds; another had a crack discovered at the end of the 7k test.
All three Beretta 92SB-F guns and all three H&K P7M13 guns made it through with no problems
Reliability testing (wet phase/dry phase):
M1911A1 control, 100%/100%.
H&K P7M13, 99%/100%.
Beretta 92SB-F, 97%/98%.
S&W Model 459, 98%/96%.
SIG P226, 98%/79%.
Walther P88 failed both tests, results were not released.
Reliability testing (salt water corrosion):
after ten days of testing,
M1911A1 99%
Beretta 92SB-F 100%
SIG P226 100%
S&W 456 97%
H&K P7M13 86%.
I prefer the G19 and P228 to the M92, new S&Ws or P7, but all of em are good guns.
