Since you said Canadian 9mm, that gives you a choice between a Para and a Inglis BHP.

I think you should bite the bullet and get a Sig 226ST

Buy the H&K, you won't need parts.

hahahaha, tell that to the two guys who shoot HK's in IPSC from Quebec, oh and one works for the HK importer, and even he can't get parts.

I'd have to say Glock meets what you are looking for. Also because I know your shooting style and the guns you've shot best with, I'd still go Glock. Add in the price you can get one for, and you are good to go.
That said, I still don't like Glock much (except for the G19, I like that one).

I can't believe that is entirely true, The only part that ever broke on any of my Hk's was the firing pin. Had it in a few days. A few years ago this may have had some merit, but I have not had any problems with getting parts. Actually, my parts sit in a bag that is collecting dust.......yah for me:dancingbanana:
 
Slavex I shoot IPSC in Quebec with my HK... and many more IPSC shooters in Qubec are using HK's

The only part I need is the ammo :)

Accurate out of the box, reliable and durable. This is not a high maintenance gun shoot and forget it. Wipe down and good to go!

I have a 45 and a 9 in USP no hick ups at all.

HK all the way :)

I also had the firing pin break on my USP...took about two weeks to get a new one. I'm starting to think that the whole "HK parts are impossible to get" story is either an urban legend or outdated info.
 
CZ or Tanfoglio. Do they really have parts that break??

I have a Beretta Stampede - Stoeger can't find a lousy screw that fell out of the gun as a replacment. Guy on the phone says if he can't find the part I may have to wait a couple of months.

Never again. I'll stick to CZ/Tanfoglio and my 1911's. Have yet to break a part on any of them. Go Para if you like the 1911 design - great warranty and great service. Wedge & Co. want your business.

Take Care

I break the flat springs regularly on the range guns. They are often hard to get. I have also broken firing pins, and trigger bars. Where the parts are available they are usually pricey.

I don't really like Glocks, but as folks have said, if you plan on repairing it alot, the parts are easy to get and cheap.

There are lots of 1911 parts around. SIG can be hit or miss, but we have a pretty good sized inventory now.

At the end of the day, I would rather get the gun I liked, and that works for me, than the one with the cheapest repair parts.
 
Funny the BHP wasn't on the list. It's easy to find parts for glocks but you either love them or hate them (I'm the latter, they don't fit my hands) . For shear ease of parts its hard to beat a 9mm 1911, and with the heavier barrel to fill up the .45 sized hole in the slide, they don't flip at the muzzle much to boot.

Outdated information i would suspect. A well cleaned and lubricated Pistol IMHO will probably have less problems.

How regular, like 10,000-20,000rds? Just curious as I haven't had that problem. I paid $25 for a firing pin.....? flat spring was like $6 ...

some at less than 1,000rds, never made 20,000 on any.

Have you priced out replacement recoil spring assemblies? Slide stops? And where did you get your firing pin? Canadian ditributor dealer pricing is higher.
