Man, thats a bit disappointing. I love my vp9. Not sure if the video has really changed my mind though.
"Tests" like these mean absolutely nothing to me, whatever the brand.
You can definitely see the his disappointment in his face and second guessing his decision on VP9.

I own 2 so yeah I will still keep one though
To be honest my EDC is a glock 19 i have over 5000 rds with an apex extractor which almost got rid of btf entirely.
I saw Vickers torture test of a glock 17 gen 3 and 4 pretty much handled much worse abuse than what MAC did to his VP 9.
HK did a torture test of the p30, did really well too. I don't know maybe I'll keep it for the 2 is 1 ideology, but it won't be my EDC gun

Dugan Ashley from carnikcon did basically all of these things to a P320 in one of his videos and it did great. A lot of the situations were unrealistic (I don't tend to crawl around in mud) but dropping the gun is a real possibility as is water and I would be a little concerned about those things.
I had been planning to get a VP9 at some point because I liked it from shooting it at the range but I think I'll now pass and look more towards the P320, P-09, and perhaps the TP9SA v2 when that comes out or the good old PPQ that seems to have been forgotten.
I was planning on ordering one within the next few weeks.
I guess the VP9 won't be replacing my PPQ after all.
The VP9 has like 60 parts (correct me If I'm wrong on this) so the over-complexity may have something to do with all the failures in that vid.
