Yep, complete idiocy and foolishness.

That test proved nothing IMO, except how tough Glock polymer truly is.

Let's see a 100k rounds test out that little 43, and then I'll give props :).

I'm sure it's up to the task.

He's still an idiot for carrying that gun after all that tho. But Whatever

But, but, but... somebody took one gun, had a rock road, a dog leash, some ice, a car, and had two failures to feed and two failures to fire. How can we help but be impressed?!? Dazzling! Only 4% failure rate! What's not to love? (swoon)

I still say bacon grease, a torch, a herd of elephants, sharks with lasers on their heads, a big water slide, and a helicopter need to be included for real testing, but budget constraints, you know?

I thought that perhaps the article was a joke, but in context it appears not to be the case.

These "torture tests" are nothing of the kind; neither torture nor test, and prove nothing. They're grandstanding idiocy. They serve about as much purpose as constant gun-rag prattling on about one-stop shots and double-strike capability. Stupidity. Meaningless drivel.

Despite the "torture tests" to the contrary, I was surprised at just how little sand it took to lock a HK USP up solid...couldn't move the slide at all, and the same thing can happen to a Glock. The "torture tests" purport to show how much abuse the firearm can take and still function, yet does nothing to demonstrate this. It's no test at all. What the author of the linked article did was show how much damage one can do to a perfectly fine pistol by dragging the pistol behind a car.

I could have told him that without having to ruin a perfectly good pistol.

I agree with you 100% those are not real world test, way to tear up a good Pistol
