Non-scientific mud test it's a you tube video, some guy called Garand Thumb

Several popular semi-auto handguns both striker and hammer fired and some are darned expensive, too.

I never put much stock in these kinds of tests. 2 guys doing the same test can get different results. But, everyone has their interests....

He's repeatedly stated these are for entertainment purposes.

For potential liability concerns, no doubt.

What I got a kick out of was all their favorite guns fell before the M&P. None of them thought it would be as good as their high end, high dollar and favorite carry guns.

Two Glocks, a Walther, etc. and even though they did more mud, water, stepping on it more, etc. the M&P kept working. Almost makes me want to buy another one and I've got a few already.

They're like peanuts. A few doesn't cut it...you always want more.

Well; I haven’t bought any recently. The Shield Plus I bought last year is the first M&P that I’ve bought in quite a while.
That said, I’m set with that one, and the other four I have (two M&P9s, a 12 round 9c, and a .45 Shield). Then there’s the M&P9 I gave my wife that she shot her first Threat Focused Pistol course with.

Truth be told, I have so many handguns already that it has to be a pretty significant or interesting one for me to consider buying another.

I can’t even say for sure just how many handguns I have. One of these days I really need to break them all out to see how many and what all I have. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The hammer fired did better than I expected. Non scientific but they were consistent in their method so some valid takeaways. M&P performs well and with their rebates excellent value for the money.

Non-scientific, but I believe that the ice test he did - with the M&P 2.0 coming out ahead - was closer to being put under the same 'test' as the other iced firearms. I'm not sure that the M&P had as much mud on it with the most recent test, but between the two of them, and everything else I've heard about modern 2.0's, I have to believe that S&W created something superior here.

 

[M1A4ME]

If I remember correctly the M&P did so well after the first mud test they repeated it and it once again ran the 5 rounds out of the magazine. Could be wrong about the second time after the mud test being perfect, but they did run it twice.

 

[Gravel]

It didn't run great the second time, but it was overly mudded-up from their excitement in it passing the first time. I think that between that, the ice test, and Mac's test, the 2.0 has proven to be pretty good.

 

[M1A4ME]

You know, I remember hearing about the ice test but I never watched it. Think I'll do that now.

Been watching Garand Thumb videos for years. This mud one is just for fun. He did an ice one as well and the M&P did excellent in that one as well.

Let's not forget that Honest Outlaw left his outside for three months or so.
