I'm sorry ipscshooter, I wasn't trying to imply they weren't reliable. It was just my understanding that that was the one trade-off to their accuracy. That since things (barrels) "fit tighter" you have better accuracy BUT you don't have the little bit of play like you do in some of the other defense handguns that allows shells to go ahead and feed even if things are quite the same time after time. Like I mentioned before, my knowledge on auto handguns has been strictly hear-say from here and other forums and "the guys" back home. I do try to take it all with a grain of salt though.
