Videos tagged with Firing Pin Strike

This video demonstrates why firing .40 S&W ammunition from a 10mm Auto firearm, specifically a 1911, is unreliable and unsafe. The instructor visually compares the two rounds, highlighting the difference in case length and how it affects chambering, firing pin engagement, and extraction. The demonstration shows that while a .40 S&W round may fit into a 10mm chamber, it will likely result in light primer strikes, failure to extract, and potential damage to the firearm's components, making it unsuitable for reliable function.
