On this week's Technical Tuesday, Trevor teams up with Shadow Systems VP of Sales Chad Jewett to answer the question, "what happened here?" See if you can guess what happened before Chad does as Trevor shows him some special "returns."

You build a very fine gun, I have two of them (DR9 and MR9L) and I think it's the best of both worlds, if you do not mess with it you get Glock reliability with fine well thought out enhancements and a very fine shooter in your hands. I toyed with the idea of replacing the stock trigger with a Timney trigger, but after speaking with your CS decided against it and am very happy I decided not to. Congratulations on making a great product and having a great CS.

I’ve also thought of this. Thankfully we live in a world where manufactured ammo is usually good as long as the manufacturer is reputable and guns that have been designed to fail in such a way to be as safe as a gun failure can be.

I've seen a hot load kill the owner of the pistol (it was some revolver). Archbald PA (Google if you want). I was consulting for local 0D at the rifle range. Ending our day we walked over to our cars. A guy was selling his handgun to a guy. The buyer was shooting it. It exploded and the sharp metal killed the guy who was selling it. The shooter caught some shrapnel, but the guy who was standing next to him took most I'm vital areas of his body. Didn't even know what was happening until shit went quiet.

I just recently blew up a new FN509Tactical. Others were shooting beside me at the range and I didn't hear the squib. Next shot pushed the squib out and bulged the barrel just outside the slide, (tactical threaded barrel), and noticed that the slide jammed when it cycled and intercepted the bulge. We compared the lot numbers to a previous squib round that ruined an H&K, and the lot numbers were the same. The ammo manufacturer replaced the ammo and pistol. I've been shooting for a very long time, and this is the first that I have experienced a squib problem. My gun store handled the entire process to my satisfaction. I was fortunate that there were no injuries. I purchased the Shadow XR920 Combat yesterday, and I'm impressed with the engineering and quality that went into it.

Testing Trevor & the team's desire to answer all customer questions (from a four SSC gun owner): Have you tested the Timney Alpha Competition Trigger (Gen 3-4) in any of your 920 model pistols? Don't lie to us and say no. Part two of my question is what tips do you have to ensure it runs optimally? I want to run my DR920 as a competition gun but the stock trigger isn't designed for that use case. I tried Zev Tech. No dice. Something about the geometry of the frame doesn't allow it to work right. Timney tells me they've tested it in SSC guns and it works. But what do the real experts say? Thanks, guys.

I've been super sketchy with ammo brands, that I have never heard of, popping up in the last 18 months. With supplies being limited, I wouldn't be surprised if companies are trying to load with a minimum amount of powder because of supply and costs. I'm not sure how far below the powder manufacturer's recommended numbers you have to be in order to induce a squib load. Slides don't normally reciprocate when there's a squib, right? Really sounds like folks need to actually assess a problem when they have them. Definitely a "lack of experience" problem. Be it not knowing what happened and chugging along anyway or thinking they know the problem and used the wrong remedy (tap rack bang).

Taking the slide off is my MR920 nemesis ..... total FUBAR is a gimme if you pull the slide back after dry fire the normal quarter of an inch as the regular kcolG it locks up jams etc .....wiggle, grease, prayer, rubber mallet are no joy. After forcing the slide back my gun runner hammer monkey replaced the trigger assembly after warranty virginity voiding expertise to remove the slide. If the slide is drawn back to take down any more than it takes to depress the take down levers...... the slide will lock up nasty again. Zero after market parts , NIB, "VERY FRUSTRATING" ..... Love my MR920 ELITE ...... a 1000 rounds plus of factory ammo through it . But I delegate it's cleaning's to a sonic bath these days.

I bought one of the MR920 combat I hated the pistol to start with jammed a lot compared to my new Glock 19 gen 5. Then I started treating it like a higher end 1911. Allowing for more breakin time. The pistol is flawless now. The only thing is costumer service did not impress me. I’m sorry I called as about a second magazine I was promised. The rep said would ship. Still waiting, so probably not buying anything else from you. Just a old Marines opinion lmao.

I think its pretty sad that these guys are laughing and joking about obvious issues with their firearms. Trying to blame it on the ammo and the end user. You would never see Glock cutting up about guns that were sent back, I think quite frankly, they'd be embarrassed. And before you comment on my post, yes I own a Shadow Systems firearm. My Glock is never far away though. I'll leave it at that......
