Frequently Asked Questions

How did the Glock 17 perform in the 'Trench Warfare' drill compared to a PCC?

The Glock 17 demonstrated excellent reliability, completing the drill with 100% function. However, Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs) generally offer superior speed and stability, proving more forgiving for accuracy, especially when the shooter experiences fatigue.

What accessories were used with the Glock 17 for the drill?

The Glock 17 was equipped with a Brass Stacker slide pull accessory for easier cocking and Scherer 33-round magazines. Blazer aluminum-cased ammunition was also used, performing reliably throughout the test.

Does shooter fatigue affect handgun accuracy more than carbine accuracy?

Yes, the video suggests that shooter fatigue significantly impacts handgun accuracy more than carbine accuracy. A carbine's inherent stability makes it more forgiving when a shooter is less 'sharp' or tired.

What was the Glock 17's time in the tactical course?

In the first run of the tactical course, the Glock 17 completed the drill in 109.14 seconds. A second run, performed while experiencing fatigue, took longer at 114.93 seconds.
