What pistol for a steady diet of +P+, ?

5906s really weren't good pistols.

This is objectively not true. On a personal note, if you can find a 5906, I can anecdotally verify having seen 20+ 5906's, over time, chew through more +p and +p+ than most shooters will fire in a lifetime. I wonder if one of the newer Zastava 9mm Tok's would handle it? It's a design based around a load similar in pressure to a 9mm +p, though +p+ pressures are subjective to manufacturers. I have no idea what the quality of the steel is like or whether the parts are mostly cast, stamped, forged, or MIM.

HK USP 9MM. That's it

All of our original Sim Guns were 3904's with cracked frames, they had not shot anything but standard velocity - actually Blazer and Silvertip.

3904, 5904, 6904 = aluminum frames. 5906 = stainless frame. Apples and oranges.

Yes I know. The post I quoted referenced 04's not 06's. Point being, the aluminum frames cracked with Blazer 9mm and Silvertips, not +P stuff.

If you really like 3rd gen Smith DAO triggers then you must've spent your youth turning the Wheel of Pain only to matriculate to some hardcore Blacksmithing asa teen and have huge mitts that can crush a brick.

I have spindly girl hands, I reckon, and did not enjoy the Smith trigger at all.

I have pianist's hands, ran a 4506 last year, and had nary a problem with it. That "nary a problem" extends to running the DA/SA trigger. It wasn't as nice as my P226R Legion or my Beretta (with Wilson Combat steel trigger and 16lb. mainspring), but it was pretty far from horrible.

Of course, most of my time spent on DA/SA trigger has been on H&Ks. So I suppose there might be some Wheel of Pain in there.
