You might want to think long and hard about that G-36. I owned one for a period of time and it was the most problematic Glock I've ever seen. It was not consistantly reliable with any ammo other than FMJ.

I've seen this problem mentioned on other pistols of this model by other people on other boards. Just beware.

I don't disagree, not a tad. But I've come to expect more problems from the shorty versions of service handguns than from the full-size service model counterparts, going back all the way to the days when I had three Star PDs so that I could generally keep one available for realtime use.

Best of those I've had over the years has been a .45 Combat Commander, with over 11K through it without a hitch. Including 4 shots upon which my life depended.

Of pocket hardware, I'm usually pretty confident with PM Makarovs for dependability, but would rather make a larger hole. Though one person with some serious experience with the Mak still depends on it, but now carries two....
