I have 2 one is a Ruger Single six that was my first gun. I bought it in 1975 and cannot begin to count the thousands of rounds fired without drama or mishap.

My last duty gun before I retired was an H&K P2000 40 LEM. I shot the same gun in IDPA with only service issue duty loads. The BP service loads are quite a bit hotter than commercial loads. I had just over 15,000 rounds through the H&K, zero parts breakages, zero malfunctions, zero failures of any kind.
