I came across this site while researching a pistol today. They test firearms and list common problems they have and how to fix them. They do pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shotguns. Pretty extensive lists but I'm sure theres plenty they've not covered yet. I just scrolled through the pistols because that's what I was interested in buying. There were several that had 7 common problems which sounds like a lot to me. Of course I doubt most don't have them all. The only pistol that that only had two potential problems was the Springfield SA-35. I've heard they were great but I'm sick of matte everything. Anyway here's the link.

After perusing the shotgun section on the 1301 Beretta and the Remington Vers-Max, I can say, with little doubt, that I wouldn't be taking much of anything he writes seriously. In general his advice is vague, and a lot of it is wrong.

He must be the unluckiest guy ever. I mean having serveral issues with one glock 19? Never heard of that. Read about a couple of other guns and it seems he had multiple issues with those too.
Yeah I noticed that but I don't know how the data is gathered. If it's just him shooting one gun the odds of all those problems on one gun would be pretty much impossible.It could be an amalgamation of reported problems from a large number of shooters. I trained with 20 other guys and fired hundreds of rds each. 19 of us were using Glocks and there were ZERO malfunctions. The only guy that had regular glitches was using a S&W M&P.

Yeah I thought it funny how he kept saying, "the next problem I ran into".
