Guys who freeze their guns in a bucket of water and expect them to go bang before thawed out are idiots.
It was a splash and freeze test, NOT a dunk test. The striker fired pistol with top hinged one piece trigger fired WITHOUT thawing it.
I don’t know what cops carry in your state, but AK state troopers carried Glocks for years. The military that patrols Greenland by dogsled and camps in the frozen wasteland for weeks at a time carry Glocks.
Fact: The HK USP .45 ACP FAILED TO FIRE!

Fact: The Sig M18 WITH a manual trigger safety FIRED. The manual trigger safety was disengaged before the trigger was pulled.
Fact: The M&P 2.0 FIRED. I am a bit surprised that this two piece trigger actually fired the pistol.
One test is worth a 1,000 opinions. FACT: Under a worst case condition the Sig fired and the Glock didn't!
And again, the whole field strip and pulling the trigger thing…if someone has control of a firearm, they should know how to operate it. They should know the four rules.
I agree that everyone should know firearms safety rules. But the most important method to reduce errors is GOOD PROCESS! Having to pull a trigger to remove the slide is BAD process! Eliminating the need to pull the trigger, when you are not shooting or dry firing, is an IMPROVEMENT to the PROCESS! Wishful thinking does NOT improve safety! Eliminating bad process improves safety and reliability!
