This video compares the reliability of a stock Glock 19 against a budget clone, the Dair Arms DY9, after firing 200 rounds through each. Both firearms experienced a single failure: a light primer strike. The Glock 19 also had one stovepipe malfunction. The instructor notes the comparable reliability despite the significant cost difference in ammunition, highlighting a deal for 9mm ammunition at 17.9 cents per round through armory.deals.

This entry synthesizes expert insights from an American Outlaw video on the KAC NT4 Suppressor. It highlights the extreme durability demands placed on suppressors during Special Forces training, where millions of rounds can pass through a single barrel and suppressor system. The content details common failure points like baffle strikes and loose connectors, emphasizing the importance of equipment longevity and regular inspection. The information is presented from the perspective of a subject matter expert with extensive experience in high-volume fire scenarios.

This video debriefs a Glock 19 Gen 5 after a 30,000-round torture test. The reviewer highlights significant issues, including the failure of aftermarket Trijicon sights to remain attached, approximately 20 malfunctions (primarily failure to feed, failure to chamber, failure to extract, and failure to eject), and excessive wear on the barrel and slide. The performance is deemed worse than a comparable Sig Sauer M17 in similar tests.

Lucas Botkin, founder of T.REX ARMS, shares insights on embracing failure as a critical component of learning and growth. Drawing parallels from shooting, business, and popular culture, he advocates for a mindset that views mistakes not as endpoints, but as opportunities for analysis and improvement. This expert perspective emphasizes the importance of pushing limits to identify weaknesses and foster resilience.

This video emphasizes the critical role of consistent trigger time and pushing beyond one's comfort zone to improve shooting skills. The speaker highlights that facing intimidating targets and experiencing failures are essential for identifying and overcoming flaws, ultimately building confidence and the ability to analyze performance effectively.

This video details the ongoing testing of the PSA Dagger, nicknamed 'Tatiana,' after encountering several failure points at approximately 4,000 rounds. The host outlines specific issues including light primer strikes, a loose front sight post, a dislodged slide release, a point of impact shift, and a walking takedown pin. A plan is presented to address these issues locally, with the intention of continuing the test to a higher round count, while also introducing the Ruger RXM for parallel testing.

This YouTube video description indicates a test of a plate's durability, implying it was subjected to impacts beyond its intended limits, yet it did not fail. The creator promises more testing to come and provides a link to the full test video. The title "Why did this plate get a hole in it? (this shoudn't happen)" is somewhat contradictory to the description stating it didn't fail, suggesting the title might be clickbait or the hole was caused by something unexpected within the test parameters.

This video identifies the Ruger SR22 and Walther PPQ 22 as the two most reliable semi-automatic .22LR handguns available, contrasting them with less reliable models like the Ruger LCP II and Walther PPK in .22LR. The instructor emphasizes that reliability is paramount in a firearm, even over aesthetics or accuracy, and attributes the PPQ's success to its design and dimensions, suggesting that larger platforms are better suited for the .22LR caliber's reliability.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of identifying and learning from failures in firearm training to achieve accountability. It highlights how Achilles Heel Tactical (AHT) integrates this process into their student's development, focusing on review and diagnosis to improve performance. The content also touches upon the power of perception and reframing wins and losses as crucial elements for individual growth in the training process. The video encourages viewers to apply this mindset to their own training journey.
