So when consumer grade arms are pushed in LEO/MIL environments and training, they fail more than arms designed and built for LEO/MIL use? Huh. At some point, aren't we using the wrong tool for the job? My RRA has never had one issue, nor have any of the others I've built from their parts for others. They see 2500-5000 rounds a year. Of course, if I was going to shoot that in a weekend I'd expect parts failures and plan accordingly. My Sig has never had one issue. I've got a collection of Glocks that, other than the occasional errant bit of brass, have never had any issues that I couldn't directly trace back to my reloads.

And lets be honest. SWAT gets plenty of practice, but are we really using the rest of the police as an example of a group of people who know their weapons and shoot worth a damn? Maybe it's different in your neck of the woods, but here it's pretty dismal. One of the guys at our local Bullseye matches is the local PD armorer, and the stories we hear would turn your hair white.
