Speaking of strength in particular, there have been some brand whores (and that is a mild term considering the morons and their fake login names which they have used to post BS about me personally on some forums) who get their panties in a wad with their members tightly caught inside when mention is made of John Olin's tests where he destruction tested a brand new Purdey sidelock against an AYA and a Winchester Model 21 for The American Rifleman in the 1960s. The AYA took some 50,000 rounds more than the Purdey before it went off the face. The Winchester 21 took 250,000 more rounds and Olin stopped finally stopped testing as it wouldn't give up.

Was it design? Was it the particular gun used for the test? Was the lighter Purdey not really meant to be tested this way? I'll leave that for the experts here to comment on.
