Frequently Asked Questions

What happened when the Glock 19 was subjected to a high-pressure round test?

During the destructive test, the Glock 19 did not explode but suffered significant damage. The barrel bulged, the slide release blew out, and the internal frame sustained damage. The casing also molded itself to the barrel due to extreme pressure and heat.

Did the bullet-resistant wallet pass the test?

Yes, the Premier Body Armor bullet-resistant wallet was tested with 115-grain +P 9mm rounds and successfully stopped the projectile, demonstrating its protective capabilities.

What was the purpose of the initial 9mm mag dump?

The rapid 15-round mag dump using 124-grain Underwood ammunition served as a preliminary function check. This ensured the Glock 19 was operating correctly and reliably before proceeding with the more dangerous destructive testing.

How was the destructive test set up for safety?

The test was conducted with safety measures including a cinder block wall for protection, a remote trigger string for firing, and a ballistic dummy head and hands to simulate a shooter's position.
