About a year ago, I posted about my #2 son-in-law blowing the guts out of a Glock M36 (I think that's the model of the .45 ACP he was using). The gun had just over a box of shells run through it when it happened and he wasn't using reloads.

Since he has now eaten the costs of repair, so much for wonderful warranties, he now uses a Colt Lightweight Commander.

The 1911 platform has been around for almost 100 years and the KB incidents have been much fewer than with the new wonder plastic guns. With the 1911 being used in WWI, WWII, Korea and Viet Nam, I would venture to say there has been much more ammunition used in them than any of the plastic guns.

Come to think of it, I don't hear about very many KBs in the M9 or its .40 S&W variant.
