    VP9 torture test

    Hardly scientific or definitive, but Tim usually does a bit more professional job at it than most Youtubers. If nothing else, perhaps some interesting discussion points. Polymer breaks if you throw it at stuff, shocking.

    Lots of whining on HK Pro Forum pertaining to this test.

    I'll try not to repeatedly throw my gun at solid objects and avoid swimming in '70's sitcom quicksand.
    Anything else I should be aware of?

    You never know when you might need to go all ninja with the mag release. It is attached to a "projectile" weapon after all.

    Lots of good tests in there. Haven't tried the VP9, but I have run the P30 quite a bit. The P30 had similar problems with going into battery in dirty environments, but it faired better with ignition. There is still something to be said for hammer ignitions.

    Meh. I'm not seeing anything that would make me second guess the VP9 as my carry choice. Simply entertainment. I haven't seen anything on his channel that would influence my decisions. Reference his 9mm defensive ammo barrier test video and his fawning over Underwood's "consistent 19 inches of penetration and the stretch cavity."

    IMO, click bait Clown shoes.

    Throw plastic at steel with force, plastic will lose. Nothing noteworthy, here.

    I tend to baby and respect my Glocks. Its good to know if I fell in dirt or water or snow my Glock would tend to move forward. I have shot the VP9, and the Sig P320 at a range show (Limited) and except for the P320 Sub Compact i wouldn't mind either in my possession. The MAC video though is something to think about.
