Fed Pistol T&E results

[BrokenArrow]

Go to: http://www.nlectc.org/ for the Equipment and Performance Report, 1999
Autoloading pistols.

Kinda interesting.

<Overall, 17 of the 23 models tested were found to comply with the
requirements of the standard. An analysis of the results by manufacturer
and by caliber is in table 2. The models are listed in the Autoloading
Pistols Consumer Product List.

It is interesting to note that 11 of the 13 (85 percent) 9mm and .45 ACP
pistols tested complied with the standard, while only 6 of the 10 (60
percent) .357 SIG and .40 S&W models complied. It is possible that there
may be a correlation between the fact that the .357 SIG and .40 S&W
caliber models are relatively new to the marketplace, while 9mm and .45
ACP models have a much longer history of use by both law enforcement
and the military. It is hoped that further testing will be performed for all
calibers, which will assist in identifying any further trends of this type.>

Some of the dogs were the Kahr MK40, Kimber Ultra Carry 40, SIG 229/40 (!),
and Taurus 945/957.

Nice to see that the Rugers came through with perfect scores. Makes me feel good about my P95.
