Which guns malfunction and how often? There are a lot of internet arguments about this, but I’ve witnessed malfunctions in training classes over the past few years. Recently I taught 2 classes and recorded the malfunctions. Recently at MAG 40 and again at Combat Pistol Marksmanship (Suarez International.) So this episode is real data about which guns malfunctioned and why. I think the results may surprise you.
