I do know that Gl**k has had trouble getting the G31/32 models to last, due to the extreme power the .357SIG cartridge has. The S*G229 gives a better service life over the long run than just about any other pistol. 'Course the dang things are built like a MBT(Main Battle Tank...lol!) and feel like it on your hip. Heavy & Clunky. Still a good pistol, nontheless. YMMV, of course, just MHO.
I think I heard or read that the Texas DPS are/ were? going to switch or allow Troopers to carry 9mm M&P's. Anyone remember anything like that, please chime in. Thanx.
BTW, just as an aside; Ruger does not stamp their pistols ".40 S&W". Instead, they stamp their pistols ".40 Auto". Interesting, no?

I've never heard of the Glocks having longevity problems in any caliber. Interesting. You know that from LE? I didn't know Sigs held up very well either. I've read amount their stainless slides cracking and never gave them any more thought after reading that.
