Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended round count for a thorough firearm review?

According to Patrick, formerly of TFBTV, an informed opinion on a firearm requires putting at least 2,000 rounds through it. Many online reviews use only 300-600 rounds, which is insufficient for assessing long-term reliability and wear.

Why are some firearm reviews considered 'presentations' rather than true reviews?

Reviews are often considered 'presentations' when they focus on showcasing new firearms without in-depth testing. This typically involves a limited round count and lacks comprehensive analysis of reliability, durability, and potential failure points, which are crucial for a true review.

What are the main concerns regarding the Sig P320's drop safety?

The Sig P320's drop safety issues stem from its trigger mechanism design. When dropped, inertia can cause the trigger to move, disengaging the firing pin block without a secondary safety mechanism like a 'dingus,' potentially leading to accidental discharge.

What is the difference between a 'dingus' and a standard trigger safety?

A 'dingus' is a specific type of safety mechanism, often on the trigger or hammer, designed to prevent accidental discharge during drops by physically blocking movement. A standard trigger safety typically requires intentional finger pressure to disengage, unlike the passive 'dingus'.

What is Patrick's new YouTube channel and what is its focus?

Patrick's new channel is called 'Firearm Rack.' Its focus is on more immersive, long-term firearm testing, emphasizing higher round counts to analyze part wear, potential breakages, and overall reliability over extended use.
