I have seen a G17 that gave up the ghost when the locking block on the frame simply gave way. I suspect it was poor disaasembly/re-assembly that led to the officer's service weapon giving up the ghost the day before her re-qualification . Of course, I have also seen an M9 and a 1911 each have a catastrophic failure. I think in each case it was due to material fatigue and a poor maintenance routine, or an inadvertent hot load.
Back to the thread, I would stick with the XTP bullet in a +P level charge.
