Buy handgun X.
Decide that standard ammo for handgun X is too wimpy.
Buy or reload super-heavy-duty-shootemup-double-plus-good ammo for handgun X.
Upgrade recoil spring in handgun X by 5 lbs and add an aftermarket recoil buffer.
Voila!
I've seen reliable handguns maligned as malfunctioning pieces of garbage when the real issue is that people are trying to make them do things they were never meant to do.
The spring thing really gets me--I mean, if you could really safely and reliably make a 9mm perform like a .357 magnum (or whatever) by just changing out a $5 spring, don't you think the gun designers would have figured it out by now?
