Drift, I like your Beretta, she's pretty!
But don't like your Glock, it looks heavy!

I have first hand experience with a Beretta failing
Me too.
I had a remanufactured piece of ammo blow my 92 apart in a casehead failure. Amazing thing is that I gathered up the pieces, put it back together, and its good as new. I've seen a lot of pictures of Kaboomed Glocks- none of them will ever function again.

I shoot Ruger pistols now. They are not pretty or real smoot but I have about 15000 rounds through five Rugers in Three calibers. So far not a single malfunction with any of them. Hand loads, factory loads, wad cutter, fmj's or hollow points. I have had Sigs, Berettas, Taurus, Colt, S&W, Star, CZ's Auto Ords's Springfields, All the older Glocks, Brownings and HK's. For the most part when cleaned and cared for they all worked as I expected them to. However none of them does the job I need done better than the Ruger and the Ruger for the most part does it for a lot less of my hard earned money. As you can tell by this post, I like them all.

I'd rather not "run" into Rosie, I'd bounce off and could sustain major internal bleeding.lol

The Springfield XD will be the new Glock. Because it is a glock and a half, in effect taking the best of the 1911 and glock and putting them together.

I don't think the XD will take over for the glock... Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my XD, but I think the Glock has a well-earned reputation. My only problem is they do not fit my hand well and are not intuitive to point for me. That is why I am getting rid of my Ruger. I hate dumping it... For a $300 pistol it hasn't malfunction once with around 1,000 rounds through it. The XD is just great though. But I do have to admit I like the Steyr sights although again, it does not fit my hand well like the XD.
