This review of a 9mm AR-15 by Mark Serbu, a recognized gun designer, delves into its functionality, historical context, and potential issues. Serbu highlights the use of Glock magazines with a magwell adapter, discusses trigger pack design, and analyzes bolt velocity and its impact on trigger slap, especially in converted full-auto variants. He also details the effectiveness of heavy buffers and stronger springs in managing rate of fire and recoil, comparing it to Uzi and MP5 submachine guns.

This review of the Stenzel Industries SAK-21, presented with critical objectivity and technical detail by Micah Mayfield, highlights its modernized AK-style platform chambered in 7.62x39mm. The firearm features an innovative short-stroke gas piston system and oversized controls designed for rapid manipulation and reloads, achieving an average reload time of 3.35 seconds. However, the review also points out significant issues with magazine reliability, potential trigger slap under specific conditions, and a high MSRP of $4,000, questioning its overall value proposition compared to established alternatives.

Micah Mayfield provides a critical review of the Zenith ZF-56, highlighting significant reliability issues, violent ejection leading to case damage, and ergonomic concerns. Despite its roller-delayed blowback mechanism and milled receiver, the rifle failed to perform as expected, even on a second unit. Mayfield suggests Zenith should have focused on a more faithful HK33/53 clone.

This guide explains the fundamental differences between 9mm PCC bolt carriers and standard AR-15 bolt carriers, focusing on the direct blowback system. It details why 9mm bolts are typically one-piece, heavier, and lack rotating locking lugs. Key distinctions like integrated ejectors, the necessity of a heavy bolt and strong recoil spring, and the evolution of bolt ramps to mitigate trigger slap are covered. The video also touches on magazine compatibility (Colt, Glock, Hybrid) and the importance of bolt weight for safe cycling.

This video critiques poor trigger control, specifically 'finger slapping,' and an overly formal post-shot bow. Nikko Ortiz, a firearms enthusiast, highlights common errors in handgun technique, emphasizing proper trigger manipulation for improved accuracy and safety. The content serves as a cautionary example for new shooters.

This video explains the concepts of 'trigger prep' and 'trigger slap' for shooters, particularly concealed carriers. Trigger prep involves finding the wall before the shot for accuracy, while trigger slap is a faster, immediate shot break often necessary in self-defense scenarios where time and space are limited. The instructor emphasizes that proper trigger control principles are crucial for maintaining accuracy even when slapping the trigger.

The MPA Defender 30T is presented as a budget-friendly clone of the MAC 11/9, chambered in 9mm. It operates via straight blowback and features a 30-round magazine and a faux suppressor. While visually appealing for those who like the MAC style, the pistol is noted for its rudimentary design and significant trigger slap, mitigated by a rubber piece to absorb vibration.

This guide details how to mitigate trigger slap on the CMMG Dissent 9mm by replacing the factory drop-in trigger with a standard mil-spec trigger, like the BCM PNT. The process involves disassembling the lower receiver's fire control group and carefully reinstalling components. This modification is recommended for defensive use where a faster cycling action might otherwise outrun a lighter trigger.

This video explains the 'trigger slap' technique in firearm manipulation, clarifying that it's not inherently wrong but context-dependent. Instructor Miles emphasizes that successful trigger slapping relies on adhering to four core trigger control principles: isolating trigger finger movement, pulling straight to the rear, using minimal effort, and maintaining constant speed. These principles, when applied correctly, allow for accurate shots even under surprise or high-stress situations.

This video from The Humble Marksman channel, presented by David, details three fundamental trigger manipulation techniques for practical pistol shooting: the slow fire surprise break for accuracy, the prep and press for efficiency in various scenarios, and trigger slapping for speed at close range. It emphasizes the importance of grip and recoil management as foundational to effective trigger control and provides dry fire and live fire drills for practice.

This review of the Diamondback DB9 Gen 4 9mm pistol, presented with high authority by BERETTA9mmUSA, highlights its compact size, competitive price, and surprising trigger quality for its class. The instructor notes potential challenges like a stiff slide and expected recoil/trigger slap due to its lightweight design, while confirming 100% reliability in testing, barring accidental slide stop engagement. It's deemed more accurate than a Glock 43 for the reviewer, making it a 'masterable' pocket 9mm option.

This review of the Kalashnikov USA KP9 highlights its remarkable reliability, especially after enduring a 'sand tornado test' with zero malfunctions over 1000 rounds. The firearm is praised for its accuracy, low recoil, and fun factor, making it suitable for CQB scenarios and enjoyable for competition shooters. While generally robust, a minor concern was noted regarding a potentially tilting rivet, and the trigger slap is identified as an area for potential upgrade.
