Title: S&W M&P9 torture test ? finally broken!
Post by: Irfan on December 09, 2008, 12:43:19 PM

Todd Green (a famous gun writer who has worked first for Beretta, than SIG and is working now for S&W as I understood) has been torture testing a M&P 9mm pistol for more than seven months, and finally after more than 60,000 rounds the pistol had its slide broken! I have to say not too bad, at least for a major part like slide, frame and barrel, but at the same time I cannot say it did better than Chuck Taylor's famous Glock 17. You can read about it here, all documented: http://pistol-training.com
What do you think guys?

I guess that is pretty good. Almost as good as the CZ P-01 going 30,000 rounds. ;D

+1 Gary! Of course if I was in a real battle condition, I'd want a 1911 over any 9mm. :)

This has been discussed on the High Road.

I'd rather have a CZ or M&P with less 'torture' test rounds thru it,
than a Glock that breaks small parts, has them replaced, then
is continued in the testing.

I might be alone in thinking that the test should end when something breaks..
but that is my opinion:)
