I only use Delta, Moen or Kohler. They are the best, standard and easy to repair, use with tools and do anything with - and they are widely available. If I could only choose one, it would be delta. I get delta always unless Moen or Kohler is on sale, as they often are. Places like Aquaware, Boffi, and Whitehaus are the high end - but I don't think they are as good as Delta

It could mean u have a problem or something (lion is problem) and that u feel like u cant get rid of it (it wouldn't die) and soon u feel u cant do anything about it(running out of bullets) idk if it right cause it prob that or yur crazy -.

My experience has been the opposite. I have and have seen STI shot thousands of times without troubles for the last 15 years in almost weekly competition. Mine at least are not even cleaned often. I have a good friend who has shot 2 barrels out of an STI frame and slide. Not only reliable but quite durable also. They would not be so popular in competition of they did not performed well and last at least a couple of years of heavy use. I can understand that many people do attempt to modify STI and other. This poorly made gunsmithing or even "good" gunsmithing done to increase accuracy beyond the practical level is in my opinion the cause of the majority of the issues in competition pistols in general. Also the mags are some of the strongest double stacks in the market. The gauge of the stainless steel sheet metal is thicker than other hi-caps. Those mags take a beating getting dropped during matches and practice and they last probably for the life of the pistol.

Dornbracht and KWC are well made, stylish brands, if you are still looking. KWC Systema is a beautiful semi-pro line. Dornbrach Tara is an amazing example of gracious design in Semi pro look. These are higher end brands than Hansgrohe, IMHO. I have an Axor Starck in my bathroom. From experience, Hansgrohe is a good quality brand. I don't like faucets where I have to keep my finger on a button to be in the spray mode. I want a toggle for the spray mode. That's now how I use my faucet. I nixed that particular model for that reason.
