Yeah, I think I remember his first video on it. The issue I have is, without video evidence of a m18 pistol going off on its own, it’s hard to say whether it was the gun - or the current mental state of its user. I don’t know, but I do know the one I have is rock solid. The others I have used have been as well. The only gun that tops it to me is a solid 1911.
I like the 1911s also. I've got two Colt Series 80 MK IV .45s and I prefer them to the three other guns I have. My daily carry is a S&W M&P Bodyguard .32, because it's significantly lighter and smaller than the Colts.
If the facts stated in the article are all true, then there's something else going on that has not yet been discovered or revealed. Perhaps it's related to a static electric discharge into the primer, or some defect in the 9mm ammunition.
