Colt 1911 .45 ACP Torture Test - Gauntlet
This Colt 1911 Series 80 underwent a rigorous torture test, including submersion in water, sand, dirt, and mud. While it initially performed adequately in water and sand, it began experiencing failures to go into battery during the dirt and mud phases. The 'Gauntlet' test, without rinsing, caused the weapon to become sluggish and eventually non-functional due to debris.
