Hey all, just got back from the "range" with my pistol. Decided to put it through a random dirt test and I was honestly surprised by the results. I tried to do shake out a minimum amount of dirt both times I did it.
First try it worked flaweless other than a gritty, nasty slide and trigger but it worked. Then I really got the dirt in and experienced the malfunctions. It did not want to go into battery twice, not too big of a deal considering I didn't work the slide at all. What surprised me is that the magazine failed EXTREMELY easy, IMO at least. Despite the out of battery issue and magazine issue, the gun shot and worked OK. Posted on youtube in two different parts.
I think I say it in the video but obviously this is out of normal usage so I am not at all worried about the performance when the gun is clean. Any ideas for the next test?
