M&P shield survives dirt and water test

[Queen Bee]

I was out shooting tonight with MrBB . I thought to myself well lets see if it can handle dirt and water.sorry we did not remember to take pictures.

Ammo used: WWB 115gr.

Dirt down open chamber. Shook put mag in. Racked.

All fired.

Second mag

Tried to use slide stop , it was all gritted up, had to hold back slide and push on slide stop.
Once chambered. All fired.

Submerged in tap water, swished around, pull out , mag in and shoot.

All rounds fired.

Spent the next hour regretting having done this because i realized i now need a gunsmith to detail strip the firing pin channel and frame since they are not as easy to takedown as a glock.

Why would you do this to your gun?

I saw Brandon401401 clean a Glock in a river. Maybe that'll work for a S&W

It was sure fun to watch the torture test. Was more fun trying to heat up the gun to get all the water out of it. Queen Bee noticed how I "remembered" the bag of rice trick after shooting all those rounds?

It's awfully fun until someone gets an eye put out...
