Put it this way, a glock is the only pistol I'd trust to drop in Florida sand and expect it to work immediately thereafter. We are unique in the nation pretty much on that. Our large grain sand is everywhere and gets into everything. I've seen all types clog or stop on range down here for this single reason except a glock. Tack drivers they aren't but self defense accuracy yes. They are made loose specifically to allow everything to fall out. Keep it dry and it will work.
I also like the fact you can completely and I mean completely disassemble one in less than a minute. Spray all off and put it back together. No other pistol is so easy.
