This is more of an academic exercise than anything, but it's something I've been thinking about.
To those who either teach or frequently attend (or used to) pistol training classes with relatively brisk round counts on a regular basis (ie, 1-2k+ rounds in a weekend), what brands/models of pistols seem to be the most reliable/durable in aggregate?
Which ones tend to have the least stoppages/breakages/etc? Of course maintenance plays a part in this but I'm just talking about in general.
I remember reading an article ToddG posted many years ago talking about the many breakages/stoppages he'd see with CZ pistols in his classes (which surprised me), and I was wanting to see if any instructors, assistants, students, or just people at training classes a lot see that works well in large enough numbers to be notable.
