This review of the Military Armament Corporation DS 9, a Turkish-made 2011-style pistol, highlights its promising features on paper, such as tool steel parts and an optic-ready slide. However, the reviewer, an experienced firearms instructor, details significant reliability issues encountered during testing, including stovepipes, failures to feed, and light strikes.

This video details the follow-up range test of a CZ P10S after factory repair for previous malfunctions. The instructor, Mike from Hunt Fish Shoot, confirms the issues were firearm-related, not user error. After CZ reamed and polished the chamber and addressed the extractor, the P10S demonstrated significantly improved reliability and performance, shooting accurately with good ejection patterns. The instructor suggests the repaired P10S is now a viable and potentially superior alternative to a stock Glock for concealed carry.
