I have seen two P2000s have frames damaged from falling or getting run over, but I have never heard of a Glock, M&P, or XD doing so. I wonder if the composition of the P2000's polymer is more brittle than other manufacturers?

Good judgment comes from experience. And experience… well, that comes from poor judgment.

Can happen, but that's a freak incident. I would be more concerned about my dog chewing up my pistol...but then I don't have a dog so perhaps I don't have to worry too much about it.
In actual use, for extensive firing, many quality polymer guns are reportedly more durable than most aluminum framed ones, or even steel oldies like the browning high power.

I'd be more concerned with my broken bones if I fell with enough force to break my XD!

Pretty amazing photos; about when THAT polymer gun failed. All these years (decades) and all these "action guys" with polymer on their hip . . . ever seen anything like this before? (noted that AZ-Renegade has weighed in on that already).Originally Posted by VooDoo6Actual

Yea, JHC et al.
My belief is it's an anomaly / aberration & the likely-hood of that occurring is pretty nil.

Hasn't this already been posted here? Everything worked out and the agent is fine from the roll over.

You're probably thinking about the same instance. This happened a while back. This could also happen to ANY polymer gun. To even suggest that the XD is using higher quality polymer or a better built gun than any Heckler & Koch is crazy!

I've seen the grand total of one poly framed gun fail catastrophically, and it was being worn by one of our officers when he was shot during a bank robbery attempt (the pistol was actually struck by gunfire). I would hazard a guess an all steel 1911 would have been rendered inoperable had it been struck in the same manner.
