Semi-Auto Pistols: Testing for Reliability
Semi-Auto Pistols:
Testing 58 The Police Marksman Summer 2015 for Reliability
Testing your gun-ammo combo without breaking the bank.
SUMMARY
Today’s semiautomatic pistols are exceptionally well made and dependable, but they require a diet of quality ammunition for maximum reli- ability. Even when high-quality ammunition is used, there can be incompatibilities between the pistol and the ammunition (due to me- chanical tolerances, bullet ogive, pressures, cartridge dimensions, etc.) that can lead to malfunctions. Therefore, gun-ammo com- binations must be thoroughly tested before they are relied upon for defensive use. This article provides a suggested protocol for that testing that won’t break the bank.

Varying weights, dimensions, and shapes of bullets can infl uence how a particular load will feed and function in your pistol. The only way to know is to test each load.
