Videos tagged with Handgun Reliability Test

This video conducts a unique and messy reliability test on various handguns by intentionally introducing jam into their mechanisms. Inspired by Garand Thumb, the experiment covers a range of firearms including the FN 509, Glock GEN 5, Canik SFXS, Canik TTI, Taurus G3c, a Lone Wolf Arms Glock clone build, and the Taurus Raging Hunter revolver. The test is divided into low, medium, and high jam scenarios, with the latter involving jam placed directly in the magazine wells. The video aims to determine how these popular handguns perform under extreme duress and whether they can overcome a 'sticky situation'.

This video details a rigorous three-month reliability test of a Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact left exposed to the elements in Iowa. Despite significant external and internal rust, corroded ammunition, and a seized slide, the pistol successfully fired an entire magazine without malfunction. While accuracy shifted left and it failed to lock back on an empty magazine, the test highlights the M&P's exceptional resilience to extreme neglect and environmental exposure, as assessed by a high-authority firearm reviewer.
