I certainly wouldn’t expect any of my Glocks to do this. I just don’t trust the embedded steel-in-polymer rails to stand up for that long.

I used to think the same as you, but Glock has an extremely good reputation for taking incredible abuse and still work. Do an internet search for "torturetestGlock" and you'll see a torture test that should have killed any weapon, e.g. 8,000 rounds without cleaning, dropping it out of an airplane, etc... . The two hardest things I have to wrap my brain around is: 1) no owner operated safety switch and 2) it is really ugly.

I've used a pile of pistols over the years and I have to say that if I only had one pistol to carry, it would be a Glock. Also, with certain models, you can change out the caliber easily.
