The failure rate of modern handguns is extremely low.
I carry a 1911, which is a design more than a century old. I've fired that gun around 15,000 times without a single failure of any kind.
- Turing_Machine 11y agoI carry a 1911, which is a design more than a century old. John Moses Browning was the Leonardo da Vinci of gun design. In addition to the M1911, several of his other designs are still in production, and indeed, in active duty use by various militaries.
- LyndsySimon 11y agoI agree, for what it's worth. I carry my SW1911 90% of the time these days. I occasionally switch out for a Hi-Power (another Browning design!) or a Glock 31. The Hi-Power is honestly a more practical gun, but the trigger is harder to make decent, since Browning was working around his own patent that he'd sold. My 1911's trigger is the best I've ever seen, bar none.
