Just a little advice. Don’t drop you gun in the middle of a fight. And if you DO drop it, don’t drop it in a mud puddle. And IF you you do drop it in a mud puddle by accident , don’t step on it with all of your body weight. And if you do happen to do all of those things in the middle of a gun fight, then don’t scoop an extra pile of mud on top in between dodging bullets. If you follow all of these steps, then mostly any of these guns will serve you well.

If animals could evolve into totally new animals, there should be a chance we find missing links. ONLY THE SIMPLEST LIFE FORMS SHOULD BE ABLE TO EVOLVE INTO EXISTENCE. GENETIC ENTROPY WILL UNDO WHATEVER BENEFITS THE ORGANISM MUTATED, FASTER THAN THE ORGANISM WILL MUTATE BENEFICAL TRAITS. EVEN THEN, THE CHANCES OF ANY ORGANISM MUTATING A BENEFICIAL TRAIT ARE NEXT TO NONE. HOW MUCH MORE CRAZY IS EVOLUTION, WHEN APPLIED TO MILLIONS OF PLANTS N ANIMALS?? FOR THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE.... DEBUNKING BIGBANG: if the bigbang was real the 2nd planet's orbit would be normal and sat turns ring particles should've moved too fast for ANY gravity to pull them towards the planet. And thats not even taking into account the bigbangs hot temprature which shoulda vaporized anything. also there is too little antimatter in universe. if bigbang was real 99.999999999999999999999% of our universe should Not exist because antimatter destroys matter when it make contact with matter. the bang wouldve made much of it touch matter. so we see far less stars n stuff bc the so called bigbang wouldve destroyed nearly all of it. . READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY!! ----> this should prove that Jesus is Real: JESUS CHRIST will Not make you take any mark, and He will punish the tyrannical ANTI Christ. The ANTI Christ will get a terrible wound, but cure himself to reinforce his deception to decieve the non-Christians and the lukewarm Christians. (look up lukewarm Christians on Christian websites and/or the Bible.) the AC will be world famous and very popular. he will make people take a mark on r hand or forhead. there will be a severe punishment for not taking it. The ANTI-Christ is a control freak, the opposite of Jesus Christ. However, this AC will act all nice and cool for 3 years and 6 months, and then he will make a tyrannical dystopia. for another 3 years 6 months. Jesus uses His power for GOOD, NOT EVIL. This is BIBLE PROPHECY. Dont trust the false god, his goal is to get people into the lake of fire. he will go there too, despite all the FALSE MIRACLES HE WILL DO!

Smith & Wesson has been around for as long as they have for good reason. Between this test, the ice test, and Honest Outlaw leaving his out in the middle of Iowa for 3 months in the elements and it ran flawlessly. It’s hard to say it isn’t the best gun around. It’s affordable too. As a person with a PDP. I’ll have to recommend my friends and family to a S&W. Thanks GT.

[@LabiaLicker]

This could be cope. But a single test sample size doesn't invalidate it passing trials with flying colors

[@gameragodzilla]

Main issue I think is the Mk.23 was optimized for .45 Super, so .45ACP is actually underpowered for the action. You notice the main problems were failures to eject since once there’s some dirt and grit in the action, it didn’t have enough oomph to open. Meanwhile, the .45ACP 1911 likely is optimized for .45ACP, so it had the necessary force going backwards as well as the necessary force going forward. Same with the Desert Eagle on a more massive scale.

[@TheSwoopDog]

@@gameragodzilla these tests are for entertainment purposes and aren't really scientific or repeatable. Also yes, the MK23 has a stupid oversized slide for .45ACP, so it's not surprising that it can't push through those conditions with "just" .45ACP. But also, as much I love the MK23, it has so many unnecessary controls and small parts compared to a modern designed, that I am not surprised that today it can be beat by a design that costs a quarter and is, overall, just newer and better.

In other elemental torture tests that I've seen on KZbin, those same three - Glock, M&P, and Walther - are always the top performers, and which one "wins" depends on the video and the person performing the test.

I have a friend who owns an M&P 2.0 with 1000’s of rounds through it, he doesn’t take care of it at all, not cleaned it one time. And somehow, 0 malfunctions. I got me a shield plus last year and have put 1000 rounds through it and it has been flawless. I do clean mine every time I use it, but M&P is the most impressive pistol line I’ve ever seen.

This test was really eye opening, I think I'm going to remove the mud from my sticcato and my Glocks, they didn't seem to preform well covered in mud AT ALL, my 365x will still remain muddy until I see some testing on it tho

[@nerdyredneck5049]

That M&P made me uncomfortable with how well it worked. But my favorite, the Sig, did great and made it through all the rounds so I'm happy.

[@2wheelinheathen]

This made me feel pretty good in my choice of the M&P. Love seeing it surprise people.

[@towarzyszbeagle6866]

Australian LEO here, my carry is an M&P 40. They are really god damn solid pistol.

[@Silent_Merc]

I'm really hoping for an uncut video of you guys cleaning all these guns

[@leewilkinson6372]

Do you really want to see them drag out the pressure washer and hose them down right on that table.....? 🤣

[@dtaylor7003]

YES!!!!!

[@TheEmeraldSword04]

That would be a nice change of pace for the end of the video, give that vibe of setting up a warm bath after hours working in the snow.

[@danielrodriguez5463]

I after shooting many production pistols believed years ago that the S&W M&P line was the softer shooting and better balanced. Now it looks like the most reliable. And their performance center pistols products even better.

[@sirweaver879]

I rock the new M&P 2.0 Compact with the updated trigger that is even better than the gen 1. Seeing it do so well makes me feel great about my decision to go with Smith and Wesson instead of Glock.

[@jamesmaysflyingwashingmach7459]

Do you mean the flat trigger? I hope to see those come standard soon! That hinged trigger is the only thing stopping me from getting an m&p

[@alanfernandez854]

@@jamesmaysflyingwashingmach7459 The hinge on the 2.0 isn't bad, idk what everyone is on about, but I went with the boujee Performance Center so that might be it. 😁

[@boqtheboneless]

Do this test with subcompacts... Sig 365, glock 43x, fn reflex, canik sc and others

[@QwispyVoid]

As an M&P owner myself as well as a P320 (yes I know not truly equivalent to the M18) I am shocked by both of them running this test as they did. Love the content as always Plaid Daddy, keep it coming

[@baileyclark6916]

I can’t see the differences between the p320 and m18

[@oleboy7615]

The M18 is a P320. Rest assured the M18 he ran is the same as the P320 carry model the public gets, not the M18 actually issued to the military, although those guns also failed miserably. I still can’t believe anyone wants one!

[@oleboy7615]

The M&P is without a doubt the most underrated pistol in the top tier line of guns. I rank it over Glock and par with HK.

[@QwispyVoid]

@@oleboy7615 bought my p320 years ago now, and I do have to agree. It’s not the greatest. I would definitely take my M&P any day over it. And I do agree with it being underrated and feel like it does outperform the Glocks. But at the end of the day, personal preference and experience is going to be what it comes down too.

@@QwispyVoid Agreed.
