2 questions.
Is there any empirical data that shows FTF/FTE of various pistols?
The reason I ask, and I hope this does not start a "my gun is better than your gun" debate..is
I have noticed many people at the gun range shooting certain pistols that I would not (Carry) for personal defense.
2) What failure rate is acceptable?
I see people shooting various makes & models and truly notice FTF or FTE issues.
Granted; nearly all of us use the cheapest range ammo we can find, but I can honestly say in over 3,000 rnds thru my gun,
I've only had (One) FTF due to what was a bad primer. (Pssst) was all I heard.
Personally, I want a gun that can shoot buffalo crap if necessary! What I mean to say, I hear people all the time claiming this gun or that gun is a little finnicky with certain types of ammo or the gun must be meticulously cleaned every time.
Sorry, if a weapon is that intolerant, I don't want it. Nor do I want it if it FTF even one out of 500 rnds with Winchester White Box..
