Yeah, i know, but I have never had those issues with my glock 23. I am just being honest about my individual experiences as a shooter.

Ha! Isn't that the truth. My wife's M&P sucks in that respect. I do feel like it is very well made, but I like the trigger soooo much better on my G19. And she likes the overall feel of her XD9 (one of my least favorites) better than her Smith, so ours has been shot very little making me unable to comment on durability over time.
As for the original question- just one would have to be my G19. My favorite shooters are still the Beretta 92 variants, though. Shoots better for me than the Glock. Requires more lubrication on frame rails than the glock, and I believe the Glock frame will outlast the aluminum frame on the 92. Glock finish definitely stands up to holster wear better. Did I mention how nice the Beretta shoots for me? Still pains me to say the Glock.

I'd personally like to know so I can shoot from that position myself.

Here are a couple links to some torture tests in case you wanted to read up on them.

I have an XD9 that the "striker retaining roll pin" broke on in less than 100 rounds of ammo. Didn't need to do much research after that on their reliability. That being said, we replaced the roll pin and it is my wife's favorite pistol, one that she adopted as hers. It has been fairly reliable since, but looking at the wall thickness of that .35 cent roll pin has made me skeptical. I am also not a fan of the fact that it is 100% cocked while carrying. While this adds to a lighter feeling trigger pull on her XD, I like the idea of the 70% cocked action of the glock with the trigger cocking it the rest of the way. Safer in my mind...especially considering the cheapo roll pin.
I currently own all three and do believe that it comes down to the pistol you like to shoot, but I definitely give the nod to the M/P or the Glock as far as parts quality and simplicity. With my wife and I shooting about 1000 rds/month out of them, it is very obvious that my Glock will go longer without care than the XD. We haven't put much through her M/P as it is a compact model, so I don't have as honest and accurate comparison there.

I would also have to agree with that.

My choices:
Polymer - P99
Metal - Browning HP

My needs lean toward CCW, and if I could have only one 9mm for carry, HD, range and matches, it would be an M&P 9c or a Gen 3 G19. If CCW is lower on the list of priorities in zombieland, then go M&P fullsize or Gen 3 G17. S&W made vast improvements to the reset in recent M&Ps, but I'm not sure I'd trust the reliability of a Gen 4 Glock when dealing with zombies. An HK P30 is also a strong contender.

Straight up stock a G17.
Let me make one mod to the trigger and then I would say M&P 9mm.

Once the zombies snatch my wife I'm killin' em all and taking her Glock from her cold dead hands.

I'd pick a Gen3, 17 as well.

19 would be a fine consolation prize.
