P320 new drop test shows problems persist

[rman]

finally got the notification of it being sent back.

26 days from shipping out to receiving.
Will gauge the new trigger pull, then immediately tear it apart and slap a
in the new Apex advanced flat trigger

Mine only took about a week to and from and that was with the weekend and Christmas too. Honestly I can't tell a difference in the trigger pull before and after upgrade but then again I don't have a lot of rounds through it.

They received mine last monday so I am hoping for a quick turnaround. It is a 9mm so I would imagine the turnaround would be quicker than if it was a less common caliber

I would imagine it should be quick. I don’t understand why some they get out quicker than others though. Maybe depends on when your slide was made.

Mine was a 357sig, so maybe they had to get enough in to do a batch run.

Or maybe it just takes a little longer to make sure the gun is perfect for the superior round.

Probably the case. Another member had mentioned that his .45 took awhile longer to get back. I am way too cheap to go the .357 sig route

Intersting article. Not sure I fully trust the info though.

Wonder what is up with the fmj rounds the Army is using. Mine went through a few different types of fmj rounds with no issues.

Blazer, magtech, wolf

"In order to qualify as a military service weapon, the pistol must be able to fire 2,000 rounds without stoppages at least 95% of the time – a standard both the M17 and M18 pistols were able to meet with hollow points, but with standard ammo, that reliability rate dropped to a dismal 75% in the full size platform, and an even worse 60% on the compact one.

I would have to see that to believe it.

Moral of the story is, "Use Hollow Points" Better for stopping terrorists anyway.

 

[claymore504]

Indeed. Well, we are just now being able to use hollow points in the military. However, I have never seen a handgun have issues only with ball ammo. Usually the other way around and they have feeding problems with HP ammo.

Anyone got any info on the fmj they are using? They gave some x name or some shit. Bunch of gibberish. Wonder if it is the nato 124gr fmj that we used in the USMC

Thank you. Looks like 115gr with a truncated nose like a 40 S&W. Wonder if that is what is causing the issue

Who got paid to pick that piece of crap after the rigorous testing?

From what I understand and the concensus on another forum is the failure is a failure to fold the slide open on last round and that's due to operator error with the thumbs hitting the slide release.

Do we know how many failures the other pistols had?

Our military didn't spend our money on the other pistols.
I don't see their failure rate as being relevant.
