The reason the PPQ did not fire was because there was water inside the striker channel which would act as a buffer and slow the striker down to the point where it would not ignite the primer. After the slide was racked, the water was able to escape and the PPQ continued to fire.

+Jon Hammett Spot on! The Navy version has a hole drilled into the striker channel to relieve the pressure; along with some cuts in the spring retainer to allow the water to flow more freely. I have considered milling a groove in mine to see if it solves the problem.

***** They all were pretty submerged if you ask me. The first round the PPQ was in the water longer, about 9 seconds vs about 6 on the others which was a mistake, but the second round, they all were under for around 17 seconds, and none of the hammer fired guns had a misfire on the first round like the PPQ did on the first round (about 9 seconds under water) and on the second round (about 17 seconds). I love CZs and its still my preferred carry guns, but I gained new respect for the PPQ and Taurus.

I figured the PX4 would do a little better, and the PPQ is an updated version of the venerable P99, the PPQ without the navy modifications will always fail to fire the first round after it's submerged, because of water around the firing pin, kinda like the Glock without maritime spring cups.

Also, they are using steel cased ammunition. Nothing wrong with that for plinking, but you would never use cheap steel cased ammo in a self-defense situation.

@bpip7069 жыл бұрын
the ppq is jaming the first round because the water in the striking mechanism is pushing against the firing pin's cups creating a lot of resistance almost like a plunging motion and this doesn't allow the pin to strike the primer hard enough. This is why a lot of people install maritime cups that have holes in them or aren't complete circles going around the firing pin. That way when you pull the trigger that first time and the striking mechanism is full of water, it can pass through the holes or cut parts of the maritime cups and the pin can still strike the primer with enough force to ignite. The PT92 failed because it's all metal and those extremely tight tolerances are a lot less suited for dust, grime, mud, dirt, than the larger tolerances of a polymer framed hand gun. honestly don't know why the px4 and p-09 failed... i believe it's just lack of quality compared to the ppq seeing as how they're also polymer framed hand guns.
@Phoenix-2147 жыл бұрын
There's also the possibility that it has something to do with the fact that the pistols which choked were all hammer-fired. Maybe something about the way striker-fired handguns are built makes their slides less likely to get bogged down by mud? Glocks and PPQs tend to do pretty well with this sort of test, hydro-lock issues aside. I mean, this is hardly conclusive, but that was one of the main distinguishing features of the PPQ versus the other pistols. Maybe this channel should do another test with some more striker-fired pistols to see if there's a consistent pattern of greater resistance to mud, or if it's just the PPQ specifically that works well. Part of the reason I'm thinking this is CZ handguns are very high-quality, especially relative to their price, and Berettas are pretty solid, too. It may have more to do with minute design differences than the materials used. After all, the (in)famous Rex Zero 1 handled a similar test on the MAC extremely well despite being metal-framed, specifically aluminum. It was also hammer-fired, which casts some doubt on my own guess.

Wow, so many butthurt ego's around here. If either of these guns were used to go to war, and a soldier accidentally dropped one in thick mud while trying to get cover from enemy fire, I'm sure in the real world the soldier would say "Wait guys, I have to wait until all the air bubbles are out before I grab it. Don't mind the bullets flying past our heads." Jeez, get a grip, people. If the gun fails, it fails. Guns are machines, and any machine can stop functioning properly if debris reaches the internals. If someone throws a bucket of sand in an airliner engine that causes the engine to explode, are all you pansies going to cry foul and say that the engine would have kept working if it was going top speed instead of take-off speed? Let's just all agree then that a car would be totally fine if mud reached the pistons as long as the car is moving versus idling in park. Or that a mechanical clock would still work if you threw a few nails in the gears.
