In another post one of the members had a question about WMLs and using them as a stand-off to prevent the slide from coming out of battery.
We have various opinions on it even being an issue but a good question was raised.
What if I pull the trigger while it’s out of battery? At first I said that’s a non issue but I based that on my experience in combatives socp and 3sd where I was always armed with a sims Glock.
I pulled the following firearms out of the safe and proceed to test them by using dummy rounds and doing the following.
1. Push the slide out of battery then let it return. All weapons fired.
2. Push the slide out of battery pull the trigger and release it then let the slide go back into battery. Only the Walther PPQs failed. The PPS passed.
3. Push the slide out of battery pull the trigger and hold it to the rear then let the slide go back in battery. Only Walter PPQs failed to fire.
The following all passed.
Glock 19 17 34 22 21 43 35 48
Sig P220 P226 P229 P320 P365
Beretta mod 96 92
HK USP .45
XD 9 40 45
FN 5.7
S&W MP
9 x 1911 variants from colt SA Kimber
Walther PPS
The Walther PPQ M2 M2 5” and Q5 match failed tests 2 and 3please replicate this with your unloaded firearms and let us all know if the results are the same.
