Frequently Asked Questions

What issues were encountered with the custom 'Uber Glock' during the tactical course?

The custom 'Uber Glock' suffered from optic drift, forcing a switch to iron sights. It also experienced multiple mechanical failures, including failure to cycle and the striker failing to reset, leading to missed targets and light primer strikes.

How did the Smith & Wesson M&P Pro Series CORE perform in comparison?

The M&P Pro Series CORE performed more reliably, though it did have a few light primer strikes. It successfully hit all targets, including long-range steel, demonstrating better overall functionality under stress.

What common problems were identified with the Trijicon RMR optics used?

Both Trijicon RMR models (RM06 and RM07) experienced flickering or turning off during recoil. This suggests potential issues with battery contact or the mounting plate security, common problems with red dot sights under heavy use.

What is the significance of light primer strikes on spent casings?

Light primer strikes indicate that the firing pin or striker is not hitting the primer with enough force. This can be caused by issues with the firearm's timing, lock-up, or striker spring, suggesting a potential malfunction in the build.
