I've been shooting competition games and attended enough training courses to see everything break, fall apart, and return to the compressed pixie dust and unicorn farts from whence they came
Wilson CQB that wouldn't fire two rounds in a row, Les Baer that needed a new extractor every few thousand rounds, Glocks with cracked frames, Hi-Point that ran 158,301 rounds flawlessly...no, wait on that last one...
Anything made by the hands of man can have problems. My only problem (in the interest of full disclosure, as a STI dealer) is that the damn things are expensive and hard to keep on the shelf. I can stack up Glocks, M&P and other dross four to one against the American-made line (much less the Open guns), and sell the cheap stuff a lot faster.
But I own...damn, had to take off a shoe...14 STI in various configurations...and not that many versions of Plastic Fantastic atriot:
