Videos tagged with Frame Wear

This video discusses firearm longevity, emphasizing that guns typically don't 'wear out' in the traditional sense but are often 'left behind' due to component wear or the desire for newer models. The speaker, Ben Stoeger, shares insights from his extensive shooting experience, highlighting that high round counts (e.g., 200,000 rounds) on a single pistol frame are achievable with component replacement, such as fitting a new slide and barrel. He notes that catastrophic failures, like broken frame rails, are rare, and that issues often arise with extractors or other internal parts after tens of thousands of rounds, leading to a gun being retired from primary service.

This video provides a detailed follow-up on the Taurus G3 pistol after over 1000 rounds. The presenter discusses the expected wear on a budget-minded firearm, including the Tenifer finish on the slide, barrel wear patterns, and frame rail wear. A single malfunction, described as a stovepipe with an unfired round, is analyzed, with the presenter unsure if it was user error or a pistol issue. Despite the wear and minor malfunction, the G3 is deemed an exceptional value at its price point.
