Smith & Wesson M&P9 – 10-8 Performance Function Test

By Caleb

After getting some feedback from viewers/readers on the PT1911 going through the 10-8 Function Test, I wanted to show how a modern service pistol performs on the same evaluation. So I ran my carry gun through the same evaluation, which is passed with flying colors.

The point of this is to point out that the test isn’t biased in any way to make guns fail. I’ve had Colt 1911s that have passed it, and I’ve had other guns that have failed it. The point of the test is primarily to evaluate how you gun will function under specific adverse conditions. Most telling are how your gun functions when you “limp wrist” it; I’m weird in that I believe that a gun I’m going to bet my life on should function even if I don’t have the most perfect grip ever. Sometimes things go topsy turvey in self-defense situations, and I want my gun to function reliably if my hands are slippery, or for whatever reason I can’t get a perfect master grip.
