You Won’t Believe Why the Military Crimped Ammo Like This 100 Years Ago

This guide, presented by 1st Shot Tactical, details how to prevent dangerous bullet setback in concealed carry firearms. Repeated chambering can cause the bullet to be pushed deeper into the casing, increasing pressure. The technique involves manually inserting a round behind the extractor and slowly releasing the slide to bypass the feed ramp, ensuring safe operation and reliability for your EDC firearm.

This guide details the recommended method for loading a round into the chamber of a Sig Sauer P365, as demonstrated by Cody.

This guide explains the necessity and methods of crimping ammunition. The primary function of a crimp is to prevent bullet movement due to recoil or cycling, crucial for tubular magazines and all handgun cartridges to avoid dangerous pressure increases. While often unnecessary for standard rifle cartridges, specific situations like lever-action firearms or high-recoil handguns demand it. Proper crimping involves targeting the bullet's groove and avoiding over-working the brass to maintain case integrity and accuracy.
