As a wild idea- maybe you could ask "The Duck" if you're looking for an honest opinion on handguns.
Here's the brass I finally got around to sorting recently (most of which is pistol caliber)...
That's at "best" one year's worth of brass, at "worse" two years worth of brass, most likely the answer is somewhere in-between there.
As others have mentioned- both the guntubbers & gun rags are skewed by advertising dollars (although there's still a few out there that are truly independent)
Not sure what you're looking for but maybe I can provide a qualified opinion. I own more pistols than any sane person would but off the top of my head- I'm fairly well equipped to talk about:
-1911's
-Glock's
-Beretta's
-Sig Sauer's
-CZ's
-Smith & Wesson's
-etc.
And I can speak to various use cases such as:
-CCW
-Range Toys
-Match guns (IDPA, USPSA, GSSF, etc).
And maybe I won't be able to speak to the one specific model you're looking at but I can likely talk about comparable alternatives and at least I won't bullshit you or have any incentive to.
