The instructor, with extensive firearms testing experience, provides a thorough assessment of the pistol's performance under stress.
This video conducts a comparative torture test between a Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 and a Glock Gen 5 pistol. Both firearms were subjected to extreme conditions including dry dirt, wet dirt, and mud immersion. The test aimed to evaluate their reliability and durability under stress, with the presenter noting early failures in both platforms, particularly with the M&P 2.0. The Glock Gen 5 ultimately demonstrated slightly better resilience after a field rinse, leading the presenter to favor it over the M&P 2.0 based on these results.
This video revisits a torture test for the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0, implementing more realistic conditions based on viewer feedback. The test focuses on the firearm's performance when exposed to dirt and mud, comparing the effects of gun grease versus oil on the slide and using heavier 124-grain ammunition for improved cycling power. The instructor emphasizes transparency by presenting unedited footage.
This video provides an in-depth reliability test of the Glock 19 Gen 5, conducted by Honest Outlaw. The test simulates extreme conditions by submerging the firearm in water, sand, dirt, and mud. While the Glock 19 Gen 5 demonstrates impressive resilience, particularly in water, dirt, and mud, it encounters functional issues with fine sand, experiencing trigger reset failures and short strokes. The speaker, an established reviewer known for practical testing, concludes that despite the sand-related challenges, the pistol remains a highly reliable choice for everyday carry and self-defense.
This comprehensive reliability test of the Glock 19 Gen 4, conducted by Honest Outlaw, subjected the firearm to extreme conditions including water, sand, dirt, and mud. Despite modifications like a Zev trigger and Lone Wolf barrel, the stock internals proved resilient, surviving two full gauntlet runs with only a final failure attributed to severe mud and sand ingress. The test highlights the Glock 19 Gen 4's robust design and the effectiveness of American Eagle 124-grain NATO ammunition.
This video details a rigorous reliability test of the Walther PPQ M2 pistol, simulating extreme conditions like submersion in water, sand, dirt, and mud.
