    Default Iced Glock

    One of the guys I subscribe to on YouTube. He does a lot of ballistic tests on defensive ammo that I really enjoy, and this seemed like a good test of a G19. Enjoy!

    Thanks, but I didn't really need any more justification to get a G19...

    Lube it up with a non-synthetic grease and try that. No workie...

    The lube used is probably more important than the gun manufacture in this test.

    Lube? Grease? What's this stuff you speak of?

    I don't think I've been shooting enough to be impressed by these torture tests. Aren't all guns supposed to shoot until something breaks? Like this particular video I see it and don't see any reason why any of my guns wouldn't fire under the same circumstances.

    Like I said though, I probably haven't been shooting enough.

    Good video but he forgot one of the "rules"---- DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGER ON THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE GOING TO SHOOT

    I kind of felt like the cloth of his glove was sticking into the trigger guard more than his finger was. But then again, his finger should have been held straight, above the guard and against the frame.

    In my personal experience, I find that when it's cold and people are wearing thick gloves, they tend jam their gloved finger in the trigger guard and leave it there. I got into a fight with my brother once because he kept doing crap like that.

    Yeah I don’t get what the big deal is when it come to shooting in the cold. I’ve shot a lot of different weapons in extreme cold climates and I didn’t notice any changes in performance. I do however see how the other parts of torture tests prove something. Am I missing something?
