Common Firearm Problems by Model

[GorillaG]

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.

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.

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 does a lot of shootin.

No, he doesn't. If he did his advice would be much better......although I do acknowledge your sarcasm light blinking in the background of your post

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".

What I really find annoying is the difficulty in finding objective, informed reviews. I'm sorry but when some magazine or YouTuber tells me their sponsors provided a gun to test it seems you always get a positive review. Gun magazines will have a positive review and then big ads from the same product. There seems to be 1000 "experts" on YouTube I think to qualify as "expert" you only need a camera. Often if they paid for an expensive gun they don't seem to wanna admit they screwed up. A bad review from a guy that spent his own money on a gun seems to be the most credible or a guy sponsored by Patreon supporters rather than manufacturers. I was watching reviews for many of the M4 clones and one guy would show several problems with half the shots and another will say zero malfunctions all day. One guy actually threw the shotgun in a dumpster at the end but I'm sure he dug it out later and sold it on some un-named shooters forum...
