as much as their are nicer guns on the market to answer your question, the only answer is glock 17, I have shot close to a million rounds in different glocks, its bet your life on it gun.

why even bother opening up a discussion like that. unlikely the original poster has a 12(6)...so your point is moot.
Over 7,500 rds on my M&P CORE - no weapon attributable stoppages -- I bobbled two "Auto-forwards: my issue and not the gun -- and an issue with ammo during a qual shoot - chambered but did not fire and the round was fairly struck.
only 500rds on the Shield -- its my BUG, so it really only gets shot in my mandatory BUG qual (every 6 months).
I'm a big S&W handgun fan, but any Glock, Hk or other quality gun will get you where you need to go, and given Canadians cannot CCW - whats the big deal.

Hi Kevin,
Been interested in the M&P CORE, but have never been a polymer frame fan.
What are the features that you like above the others with it?
enough of this thread:
Yah that guy (or girl, cant tell, too much flubber) needs to go on a diet
It is both my duty gun (we are a M&P Pro series Dept, unless you get 2 of a gun - for need of a backup duty gun) and comes optics ready from the factory - also its my everyday Carry gun - so a polymer gun is lighter (I used to carry a 1911 and the difference is noticeable - so is the extra 7 rounds...)
If I had an assload of $ I would have probably bought a HkP30 - but the idea of buying 2 of them - then modifying them to fit an optic did not appeal to the family budget (effectively $1300 each after optic mod, where my CORE was $600). The P30 and M&P are about the only poly guns that I find my hand just fits so nicely with -- the other aspect is the Hk mag release paddle and I are not friendly - so it would have been another bunch of money for the 20k or so rounds to get some decent muscle memory with it.
I have come to love polymer frames for the fact I can stipple them to make them easier to grip.
Quality ammo is important. I've had a Gen 3 G19 that was 100% with even wimpy North
American commerical ammo start to have malfunctions with a case of Fiocchi 115 gr FMJ recently. Based on the failure to eject, likely VERY wimpy ammo was the culprit.
Also some European pistols like HK and Walthers have heavy springs and may need breaking in for first few 100 rounds with heavier recoiling ammo (like 147 gr.), as they are designed for 9mm NATO spec. ammunition.
