Durability: just how tough is the M9?

[praharin]

I have heard the stories of how tough they can be, but every M9 I ever saw while in the Corps was broken. I literally never saw one in use that didn't break. However, that was probably less than 10 of them. We used the M7 exclusively, so I have no personal experience, just casual observation.

So, what kind of abuse have you put an M9 through, and what brand was it?

Thanks,
