This video features a range test of the Smith & Wesson Shield EZ .380 Performance Center with various ammunition brands including Aguila, Winchester, Republic, PMC, and Sergeant Major. The reviewer notes a significant improvement in reliability, with previous stovepiping issues on the last round seemingly resolved, attributing it to either the gun breaking in or the magazines being left loaded. The reviewer expresses high satisfaction with the firearm, stating it has replaced their Colt Government .380.
This review of the Sig 556Xi Russian replacement rifle highlights significant reliability issues, including frequent failures to eject and single-shot behavior, even after cleaning and lubrication. Accuracy testing revealed 'AK-like' performance with Wolf ammo (2.5-inch group) but disappointing results with PMC ammo (3.75-inch group). The rifle was ultimately compared unfavorably to a Krebs Custom AK-103K for accuracy.
The Sig Sauer 551A1, a US-made clone of the Swiss Sig 550, offers a familiar manual of arms and comfortable ergonomics, reminiscent of an AK. However, its accuracy is mediocre, averaging 3-4 inch groups at 100 yards with standard ammunition. Despite functional reliability, significant build quality issues like rattling handguards and loose receivers, coupled with a high MSRP, position it primarily as a collector's item for its aesthetic rather than a precision firearm.
