I have Glocks and Springfield guns and have no problem with them. I gave my son in law a Sig P220 with the alloy frame and I have one in SS.

I was with him yesterday and he told me he has shot thousands of rounds through the gun he has from Tula and including good commercial ammo and the gun has never hiccupped on him.

He is in the Air Force and he shoots a lot. He says he keeps the gun clean and greased and it runs for him. Personally, I don't like the alloy frames much but it seems that properly maintained guns run pretty good for a very long time. I have two P226s in .40. One is alloy and one is SS. I shoot the SS one and just can't seem to warm up to the alloy frame one. What I should do is sell it to someone who will use it.
