Rob E – No, it just means we started the test before the ammo was available. So some of the ammo came from my personal supply and some came from the great folks at Atlanta Arms & Ammo.

so there is 50,000 rounds there. does that mean you are going to start the test all over from the beginning when you get the pistol back? or with a different pistol?

Geez, and I was excited when I finally got my hands on 200 rounds of HST 124gr +P. The two boxes I still have sitting on my desk here look awful lonely now.

To those that may suggest impropriety in the fact that a manufacturer gives Todd a gun and ammo to test it, this is no different than an automaker submitting a vehicle to “Car and Driver” for their testing and approval and springing for the gas. I’m not so certain about most print gun magazines. It’s hard to tell where the ads end and the articles begin.

Pistol-Training.com is an independent tester and has proven itself by shooting the M&P until it broke. While I’m sure S&W is thrilled with the results, it could have easily gone the other way.

I’m glad to see PT.com doing the H&K test as well. It goes to show that the M&P test was not a Smith and Wesson publicity stunt and that H&K has confidence in their product no matter what the results are.

Todd’s torture tests go to show that even with moderate use, it doesn’t take long for the cost of the ammo going through the gun to quickly exceed it’s cost by several factors. Which begs the question, why does anyone ever choose a gun because it’s “cheap”?

So he posts this picture here for us all to salivate over, then teases us with the same picture at M4C.

Todd, you are a bad, bad man.

Todd,I have absolutely no problems with your objectivity having seen your “transparency” with the M&P Torture Test.
My only negative comment is that I hate you for having all that ammo..I’m the one who should have it.(Insert smilies here)

Hello Todd,
From the looks of it, there appears to be at least two different type of ammo pictured. I can’t quite make out what they are… Would you be so kind as to tell us all as to what you’ll be shooting for the next few months!!! :-):D
