Alyssa Seymour, an experienced firearms instructor, breaks down the multifaceted concept of firearm reliability. She emphasizes that reliability is not absolute but is defined by a firearm's consistent performance under specific conditions, with standards varying by intended use. Seymour highlights that many malfunctions are shooter-induced or due to ammunition issues, rather than inherent firearm flaws. She provides personal reliability benchmarks, suggesting 1 malfunction per 1000 rounds for general use and 1 per 2000 for duty/self-defense after an initial break-in period.
