Also it could be some people just don't know how to keep heir firearms properly maintained (well oiled and clean), especially those "it comes oiled from the factory ill just go shoot it right after i got it" people (those people are morons).

My XD9 has about 4000 rounds down the barrel with all reloaded range ammo or winchester white box and 200 or so of remington JHPs. I have not had a single FTE or FTF. My Mil-spec has about 1000 and no problems there either.
I take care of my guns though. Most of them get cleaned after every range trip. Although I did let my XD "wait" 1000 rounds just to see if I could provoke a failure, but nothing.

although the part where you said you "waited" to clean it.. thats no good because what if you ever needed to use it, because you wanted to prove a point you provided yourself with a less dependable firearm (as if it was your only firearm which im sure its not because almost no one buys a Springfield as their first). and not to mention made it more work to clean.. dried caked on ---- is no ------ fun to scrub.

What's open carry mean? Like just you can see someone is carrying a gun? That's legal, but if it's hidden you need a permit?

After three years of carrying the P32, I expected the new .380 to be reliable, and I was not disappointed. I tested the P3AT with several different varieties of ammunition, both factory and handloads. The gun fed, fired, and ejected perfectly, with no malfunctions of any kind.

Ok well i Just got back with it. Bought a 9mm cp for 218.95 with holster 100 rounds and cleaning kit. Shot all 100 rounds no problem. Gotta say it shot much better than i thought it would. Definately worth my money.

I have shot one and it FTF'd a couple times. I have to say though, this was a range gun and most employees are idiots so I stripped and lubed it myself. After that it shot fine. I had the same experience with a SIG P229 before too. Sometimes the ranges don't take good care of their guns. The SIG was even worse. After some lube it shot perfect.
I'm just giving you ---- cause well IT'S A FUGLY ------- HANDGUN.
