This review tests the drop safety of five Sig P320 models using primed casings. Despite over 100 drops, including extreme throws from a school bus, no discharges were confirmed. A single discharge occurred during a manual wiggle test on an XC9, but could not be replicated and might have been user error. The host notes the lack of a trigger safety as a potential concern.
This video from SmythBusters investigates the common practice of mounting optics on AR-15 handguards, including bridging the receiver and handguard. Steve and Caleb from Brownells use red dot sights and LPVOs to demonstrate how this mounting method impacts accuracy, group size, and zero retention. They conduct drop tests to show zero shift and compare the performance of optics mounted on the handguard versus the receiver. The video concludes by debunking this internet myth and emphasizing the importance of proper optic mounting for reliable firearm performance.
The Canik MC9 Prime is a US-made 9mm pistol offering a 17-round capacity and a 3.6-inch barrel. It features a triple-ported barrel, slide lightning cuts, and a tritium front sight.
