When I lived in Arizona, I used to shoot a monthly match with my M9. The courses of fire had us crawling through or rolling around in the Arizona dirt most of the time and the pistol never choked. However, when I had the pistol in hand while doing that, I kept it out of the dirt. When it was holstered, only the butt of the pistol was coated in dirt. So what exactly are you planning to do where such a torture test is necessary? Are you going surfing with a sidearm? Noodling with a handgun? Taking out the competition at a Tough Mudder event? Amateur torture tests most often prove nothing more than that the tester has more money than sense when it comes down to it. Most major pistols today survived some sort of endurance test which included shooting a lot in less than ideal situations, isn't that enough?
