This video from the Smyth Busters series, featuring Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Caleb, investigates the durability of the Law Tactical Folding Stock Adapter for the AR-15. Addressing a common rumor that the adapter is a weak point, the team subjected an AR-15 equipped with the adapter to rigorous testing, including throwing it like a hammer.

This video debunks the myth that dropping the slide on a semi-automatic pistol with a round in the chamber will always break the extractor. Brownells Gun Techs Steve Ostrem and Caleb Savant explain that modern external extractors, found on pistols like Glock, Sig Sauer, M&P, CZ 75, and the current Browning Hi-Power, are highly resistant to breakage. However, older internal extractors, like those on 1911-style pistols, may be more susceptible due to limited flex. Proper extractor tension, polishing, and contouring are crucial. The quality of materials also plays a significant role, with top manufacturers using tool steel. The video concludes that while it's generally safe on well-made modern firearms with properly installed extractors, caution is advised with older or cheaper guns.
