[QUOTE="Bravo1ResQ, post: 2856131, member: 40539"] I've carried the M11 for the past 9.5 years before being allowed (agency reqs) to carry a G19 and making the switch. Overall I've seen the M11 used and abused in a variety of environments and it's kept on working. I am a Sig armorer and the two biggest issues I've seen are: 1 - Broken roll pins (They seem to break every 1k rounds depending on how well they were installed) 2 - Grip screws backing out (Put some nail polish or blue locktite on the threads and this fixes the problem) The 229 (if memory serves) fixed the roll pin issue by utilizing a solid pin in the slide vs the M11/228's inner/outer roll pins. There are other minor differences between the two pistols but they are largely identical and you can't go wrong with either one. I hope this helps, if you decide to go with the M11 or P228 I have some extra parts and pieces I could sell to you if you want. -B1R [/QUOTE]
