[QUOTE="RickN, post: 1852293, member: 8854"] I seriously doubt that the Glock will be in service for 100 years. If for no other reason then the geewiz boys will demand the next big thing. It has been years, but I have personally put many thousands of rounds through an old government issue 1911a1 without failures. Heck we once put 5,000 through an old Argentine copy. You guys also have to remember that military handgun use is different then civilian or police use. It is a last ditch or specialty weapon not their primary arm. A smaller number of rounds is not a real problem if there is sufficient knock down power. Not to mention the steel frame can also be used as a club. :D [/QUOTE]
