Videos tagged with Failure to Lock Open

This video tests the reliability of the Taurus TX22 with Norma Match 22 LR ammunition, a combination often problematic in semi-automatic firearms due to waxy bullet coatings. While the TX22 is generally considered reliable, the test revealed a stovepipe malfunction on the first shot and a failure to lock open on the last shot. The presenter also demonstrated one-handed shooting with the suppressed TX22 setup.

This deep dive into the SIG Sauer P365, presented by Justin Opinion, focuses on troubleshooting intermittent failures to lock the slide open on the last round. The primary culprit identified is a specific 10-round flat baseplate magazine that came with the pistol. Testing involved various magazines, including new ones and those provided by SIG Sauer, under different loading conditions. The video also touches on primer drag as a recurring symptom, though it hasn't caused malfunctions yet. Despite the magazine issue, the P365 is deemed a good shooter and a viable carry gun, with the problematic magazine excluded from carry rotation.
