I personally have more FTFs in super cold weather, so I'll just say that's the reason! (wink) I’m in NE IN and there’s no way I’d go anywhere but an indoor range until spring!

I was anticipating the cold weather and made sure my lube was rated for that low of tempeature. Others did not. Semi-autos became single shots when the user had to slam the slide home with the heel of their hand after every shot. It could have been worse--the firing pins could have crept slowly in to nuzzle the primer. Assuming your carry gun is next to your body and you are wearing a coat over it the chances are that it's going to be just fine unless you are waving it around in the cold air for many minutes.

I'd like to see if the grease on the slides gets too sluggish to function correctly. I think this would be useful check for a carry gun.
