Video

Austria, I actually found one unused in a pawn shop. $25 USD 😂

I’m cleaning an original, no custom work. It’s beautiful and light. Thanks for the cleaning tips!

I've had my H&R 999 since mid '60's, still functions as new. In all those years, I've only had to replace the ejector spring about 30 years ago.

At 3:35 of video. I pull the trigger, pull the slide back with one hand, then the two slide lock pins down with the other hand but the slide will still not release. Any ideas why?

7 years later this video still helps when the citadel comes out of the safe. Any recommendations for replacement mags for full size?

Anybody know where I can get a replacement removable spur? Tried calling taurus and midway no luck. Thanks in advance

Why was this video edited?

That damn Beretta. Lol! They make good guns.

You make it appear as though the model designation is ‘Gardone’. It is a Beretta model 1934. The Beretta plant is in the town of Gardone, VT. Italy.

Good day where can a get more magazines

As one is buying a”as is” item, what devaluation occurs with unmatched serial number.?

You should put a link to the product in the comments.

you don know how to take down the secam.

If it has a six inch barrel. Isn’t it a model 622

Good video, thx

Fair warning to all who own this beautiful pistol: the take-down lever on the left side is a known failure point. The lever is merely press fitted to the pin that rotates the slide block. The lever can essentially loosen slightly, and when you turn it downward, it will not fully lower the slide block inside the frame. This will prevent you from being able to lift the slide up and off the frame. You will know you have this problem when A) you can't seem to get the slide off even though the lever is all the way down and B) the take-down lever will not fully return to its up position parallel to the slide. Sig has not always been super helpful in fixing this unless you can prove you are the original owner. I fixed it on my P232 by forcing the lever back up to its closed position (parallel to the slide), then carefully using a center punch to punch a deep dimple into the exact center of the take-down lever pin. This moves just enough metal to cause the pin to expand into the lever to better secure it. It's not a perfect solution, but it is a solution. I love my P232!

I have this exact model, great gun and I love it

Tyler T Grips work really well on that skinny grip. Snubbies are good up close guns. In an entangled fight they are exceptional.

I used to have a blue model 38. It was a coat pocket gun primarily. There were a couple of times having it in my hand while still in the pocket it was very comforting. Sold it to a friend who wanted it. Now it's an LCR that goes out the door with me often.

I bought one that I had graded by a collector 9 out 10. It came with a holster. The owner of the golf course asks me if I was interested in buying. Told me $200.00. The date was AE which was made back in 1967.

Bought a PPK /S and I would like to clean her up properly. Thanks for the video!

How good is this gun? it still remains?

D looks like when it’s laying on his dirtier than the

Here is my uzi. I dont know jack shit about then and thate history but im going to make a video and if i say it confidently they will believe me.

Where did you get this information on the UZI?????????Good lord do some freaking research next time.

thank you for the information!

Bulldog 44 spl. Originally was a 3 inch barrel.

Inherited an S-101 SuperMatic from my gramps. This video should help a lot. I'll give it a go, hopefully later today.

Thanks Alan, for the easy to follow tutorial! My Glock looks great! Thanks again!! 💯👍🏼

I have the same gun. I'm deleting that right safety. I carry and it keeps coming off safe. My holster only covers the left safety.

you donot know how to take down the secam; it not that hard.

About time we modernize the old Cap & Ball revolvers along these lines; doncha think? Run 'em on shotgun primers, designed for quick cylinder changes for fast reloads, double action, yunno, stuff like that.

Alan, great video! Thank you. My question is, at 14:17 when you put the slide back on, did you experience the slide hanging up on the frame at all? (It looks like a video edit at that point, so made me curious). The slide on my newly-purchased CW380 catches somewhere in relation to the frame. The slide stops, or hangs up, about 1/2” from the back. Thanks again!

Sorry your shop closed it was a go to place for help. You helped my wife select her first pistol. The revolver you are showing in the video I have and sadly has been a safe queen. I was interested particularly in your comment that heavy weight bullets recoil less in this firearm. I need ammo now and am recoil sensitive. What weight bullet is best for lower recoil and a good self defense round? I remember you got sick and hope you are better.

I mainly use it on my magazines. Strike Hold is a Dielectric and excellent repelling water on electronic and wiring. As a lubricant especially in sandy environments, but needs to be reapplied more often than some gun oils. Drawback is the smell and if you get it on your hands? Takes a while for it to go away. Still prefer it over nitro solvent and Eezox which is chlorinated hydrocarbon product.

Solid video helped me with my citadel 1911.

My friends has it in 9mm. It shoots so sweet! Gotta get me one. Love the 1911mechanics and function. Thanks for the great video!

This one looks like it's too small for those w/ larger hands..... lol, hard to tell from here but why did they stop manufacturing these? What I want to know is if they stopped due to any problems w/ the gun? I like the look/size but reliability is the only thing that matters, period! peace

Thanks for the video, the fixed barrel is the downside 😂

Registering a gun ?

Should always clean the breach face upside down, to reduce the chances of debris and solvent from entering the firing pin channel.

its funny how im trying to clean this exact same revolver. Its my first revolver too, its neat that people stubnosed these guns, never knew their popularity back then.

Sorry CZ38

Thank you for the video. My CZ83 1911 has some pitting on the slide. Is there any way to get it off?

...AUSGEZEICHNET!!!!

Bro thank you 🎉

I own the PPS mod 1, same as yours. It shoots everything I have tried, even every reload with bullets I cast - the reloaded ammo size measurements have to be right though. I like the gun, it is very reliable. There is a magazine disconnect that is easy to remove. The only thing I don't like about the design is that the gun will not function without the grip back straps installed - there is a tiny piece of each back strap that must be engaged, if this piece ever snaps the gun is disabled until you replace the back strap with an unbroken one. The gun comes with 2 different sized back straps, neither of which shows any sign of breaking after several years of use, but I don't understand why Walther would design the gun that way - it seems to me to add a possible point of failure unnecessarily.

The reason for the ridge on the slide release is to keep your thumb from hitting the button during recoil and locking the slide back prematurely. Almost every modern pistol has the same ridge, Glocks, etc etc.

That magazin release is the European paddle style - many Americans don't give it a chance as they are used to the button style. The European style is actually better - it is fully ambidextrous without needing to change anything, and it never accidentally drops the magazine, which can happen at the worst time with the American button style. I am American, but I gave the European paddle style a chance, now I prefer it.

Great video Alan, I know you checked it's status before you started recording, but please make a point to mention to check that it's unloaded. New shooters are probably watching your videos. Thanks
