1000 Round 9mm Glock 19 Torture Test

James Yeager and associate put 1000 rounds, 68 magazines, through a Glock 19 in just under 14 minutes. 4 stoppages, some of which were attributed to bad ammo. The guide rod melted right off but it continued to function.

Part 1

Part 2:

Thanks to Jay for emailing me this video.

There is a discussion about this video at AR-15.com.

    Didn’t Todd Jarrett do that earlier in the year with a Para Pistol?

    Glocks are the only plastic guns that I willing to own. I have two Glock in my collection, 19 and 30. The Glock 19 is my conceal carry gun. I trust it with my life. No other plastic gun can take as much abuse as Glock and still work.

    Click on the Ar15.com link. The thread is a very informational read if you never had proper combat training.

    The Todd Jarrett 1911 video did 1000 round without any malfunction. However, the 1911 was allowed to cool off which the glock did not. The 1911 that was used in the video was not a standard 1911. It was a $3000+ modified 1911. The Glock in the video was a standard stock pistol. So yeah there is a big difference.

    I don’t believe any stock pistol will perform at that level as the Glock did. One last thing the video was unedited, wasn’t done by Glock marketing, and over 100 people was there unlike another gun manufacture that I won’t name.

    IMHO, Glock pistols are the finest out-of-the-box combat pistols in the world. Period.

    It was a box stock Para 1911 SSP that can be bought for less than $700.

    The time was 10:44, about three minutes less than this glock test so, no, the 1911 was not allowed to cool down.
