This video from Regular Guy Training LLC, featuring an expert speaker, delves into firearm reliability, specifically focusing on the impact of ammunition type on stoppage rates. The speaker, drawing on extensive experience with tens of thousands of rounds, highlights how 124 grain NATO ammunition significantly reduces stoppages in firearms like the Glock 17 and Beretta 92, which were designed with this ammunition in mind. Conversely, using lower-power target ammunition can lead to increased stoppages, particularly in firearms designed for hotter loads. Factors like cleaning frequency and ammunition volume are also discussed as crucial for maintaining reliability.
