I carry a pistol in all of my farm vehicles as a basic tool (varmints, deer hits, badly injured cattle, etc). Lots of dirt roads with lots of dust. 3 of my 4 farm trucks have revolvers. I pull the trigger, they go bang. One of them I have been carrying a .40 P229 Sig. I love shooting it, but it is possibly the pickiest pistol on the face of the earth. Tried a myriad of different ammo and the only one that hasn't tried to jam is white box Winchester. Have sent it in to Sig (great customer service) and the polished the feed ramp and said everything was fine and it didn't help. I keep it clean and have to have it dripping with lube to make it cycle reliably. When it's dripping with lube, it's attracts dust like crazy, so I have to clean it constantly.
In other words, it makes a terrible farm truck gun.
Thinking about replacing it with a 9mm if I can find one that is dead reliable with minimal gun oil or a dry lube and will tolerate a nasty, dusty environment. First thought was a Glock, but I hear great things about the IWI Masada 9MM as well.
In your experience, what is the most reliable 9mm for bad conditions? I'm basically looking for the AK47 of 9mm pistols...
Or should I just forget pistols and get another revolver?
