Beretta Elite II vs Glock 17
- Thread starter Irfan
- Start date
I have a good buddy who is retired special forces, and he has a Glock 19 that he swears he has put over 50,000 rounds through. I believe him, because (1.)I know how much he likes to shoot, and (2.) he used to operate a shooting range.
I am of the opinion that there simply isn't another pistol out there than can compare to Glocks in the durability department. Revolvers are a different story, of course, but you aren't asking about revolvers!

The Glock is a lot more durable.
That said, I think the Beretta should last a long time too. Very few people actually shoot enough to wear a quality gun out.......
Actually, the polymer Ruger P-Series (95,97) are very close to Glocks' durability. I think if they were tested enough, they might even prove an equal (just my prediction). The P95 was tested out to 20,000 rounds of the hottest +P+ and showed "little to no signs of wear" or loss of accuracy. I am sure if Ruger continued the test that it would keep on ticking way past 20,000 rounds. They are just built like a tank and the polymer frame rails can take a ton of battering IMO. Considering +P+ is very hot, normal ammo through a Ruger P95 would be a piece of cake.........
