Funny, I saw 3'x3' boxes full of broken slides at Mott Lake in the 80s with far fewer rounds than the article cites.

In face, I took two broken slides and two barrels with the lugs sheared off to a local gun store to show the Beretta rep who had been denying the story. He refused to take them.

The majority of the problems I have heard about recently have been bad mags/springs.

Nevertheless, most agencies I know if who adopted them have subsequently regretted it and opted out for the SIG, Glock, Smith, HK, or Springfield.
