Comments:
This gun was bought new as the competition companion to my EDC G19 w/RMR. It has a Glockmeister stock 3.5lb drop in replacement trigger pack. It started out with a Vortex Viper MRDS but I become increasingly unhappy with that and it now wears a Leupold Delta Point Pro. Most of the rounds put through the gun were in practice along with a couple of USPSA matches. Very happy that there has been no BTF issues.

Comments: I'm an M&P fan. This gun has been flawless, operationally. The accuracy has been acceptable (3" at 25 yards). However, the front sight has to be slightly bumped to make the POA/POI coincide. It's not even noticeable, probably, to the casual observer. I am thinking about trying out an Apex barrel, and recentering the front sight in the dovetail, to see what it'll do. I have a brace of these now, and I love them. I have a 2.0, that I'm having new sights put on, and then that'll start the 2000 test.



The JMCK AIWB with neo wedge. Runs great and it's concealable. The Bawidamann Uber horizontal mag pouch. After wearing these (under t shirts) I can't carry mags any other way. It hides right next to my clinch pick.

Claude Werner's Performance Standard. The hands are little because this was shot by my Son, who helps with my log book work, and gets some shooting in as well.

I'm going about this in a slightly different way -

Pistol: Walther PPQ 4in
Caliber: 9x19
Ammunition: 115 grain American Steel, PMC bronze; 124 grain Freedom fmj
Dates of Testing: 2/21/17 - 3/5/17
Total Rounds Fired: 495
Stoppages: 0
Malfunctions: 0
Breakages: 0

Gun already had 6000+ rounds through it. Failure free for first 4500-5000. Had some failures to fire in last 1000, and Walther repaired it quick and easy under warranty with a new trigger. Started the 2000 round challenge upon its return without cleaning (about 300 rounds worth including some pre-repair failures and Walther's testing). The first 100 back were by a new shooter with a poor grip. The remaining 395 have been in practice and a match. No failures so far.

Dissappointing. Had 1 double feed at round #1985 with the standard pressure 147 gr HST, argh! Had to leave the pistol sitting for a few weeks at 1875 rounds and finished today, guess it couldn't quite handle it.

Will try it again.

I think 1 stoppage in the 2K test is pretty darn acceptable. How was accuracy?

As good as my HK P30L, 4" groups at 25

That'll do just fine for government work. Nice test, thanks for posting!

Note: I lubed the new stealth levers when I installed them at round count 1992. I didn't lube anything else on the gun.

I had 4 stoppages with the PX4, the first two caused by a stuck magazine follower. That issue stopped when I degreased the mags. The other two were user induced, with a failure to feed brought on by a failed slide lock reload where I didn't get the mag fully inserted into the gun before I depressed the lever. The slide stripped off a round, but the extractor didn't pick it up and it got stuck to the left of the feed ramp. The other was a failure of the slide to lock on an empty mag, caused by improper grip when I was shooting SHO.

I also dry practiced with this gun extensively since I started the test last November. I would guess I've got thousands of draws and reloads and several thousand double action trigger presses on this gun.

Obligatory filthy pics:



Note the lube still visible on the locking block, barrel and slide. The Lucas Red n' Tacky grease is a great product.

Glock 43. Purchased about a month ago, brand new with Ameriglo sights, serrated u-notch rear with orange outline tritium front.

I like the sights. Nice uncluttered sight picture, no sharp corners, bright/bold front. The front is .140" wide. I'd prefer .125", but for this little gun, it's probably better for the intended purpose. The pistol took a fall from on top of my kitchen refrigerator. It was loaded and holstered in a JM AIWB. It apparently landed on the rear sight as it was dinged and was pushed about 1/3 out of the dovetail. I re-centered it and it is not functionally impaired in any way.

I have only shot this pistol out to 25 yards and was able to keep 7 rounds in about 8-9" pretty consistently, which is about as well as I shoot anything. I was naturally a little slower with this one vs a full size, but I am thoroughly impressed with how well this little thing can shoot.

I didn't start out to do a 2K round test, but I was over half way there when I thought about cleaning it and decided to just keep going. This pistol shipped dry and I applied 5 drops of Slip 2000 EWL in the 5 Glock spots and never cleaned or re-lubed it. The little bit of lube I had on it is probably long since gone and the pistol is actually cleaner than I thought it would be. I usually run a pistol pretty wet and they tend to look really filthy after a few thousand rounds.

2,127 rounds total, 1 FTEj with Win Ranger 127+p+. All magazines used were OEM 6 round mags with flat, OEM and/or Pearce +0 pinky extensions.

I think Glock makes the wee guns better than the big ones now a days.
