    I like this particular 1911 so much that I got two of them. I'm still working on the custom storage/display box for home, but I have a travel box for them. Mods. = Mag well, black trigger, extended slide release, WC flat spring & SS full guide rod, and swapped out the Pachmayr grips for some matching green G10's. Ditched the factory mags immediately, and got four WC 8 round mags and a couple 10's. I've never had an issue with either of them = eat, eat, eat - reload & repeat.

Havent tried the gov 5 inch prod but commander 4.25 very easy to ccw and do it edc. Oh and pistol shoots amazing. Its almost like cheating with 2011 pistols. Its insane. But for protection i onky want to carry the pistol i shoot best and 2nd place isnt even close to how i shoot my prod.

    Great video. The only additional tests felt that were needed were to see how the round behaves through drywall (1 and 2 layers), through drywall and wood siding, and through drywall and Hardi siding. IOW, would there be much overpenetration if you had to use this round in your home?

  • @JayP7676
    @JayP7676 Před 11 dny

    I was going to pick up the STACCATO C, but bought the 4.25 Prodigy because of the price difference and save the money to buy accessories for the gun. I oiled the gun a couple of times and racked it 500 times and there was a lot of gunk thinking it’s probably the Cerakote from the factory. I ran 300 & no problem. Hope I can get 10k like yours to prove its reliability.. That’s Crazy.

    I have the XDS-9 M2, and waiting for my XDM 45 OSP Elite to come in. I'm of the opinion that S.A. made a mistake by discontinuing this pistol even though I know their marketing people would argue otherwise.Without even realizing it, I've become a S.A. fan via the 1911 grip safety., a no nonsense simple feature that other manufacturers would do well to implement from selling point angle.

  • @Renaldo135
    @Renaldo135 Před 12 dny

    Love the XD's for sure. Not so much a fan of that specific optic though. I'd probably get the OSP model you have but get my own optic. Like the 4 inch option as well.

    Try keeping both zippers to the right and reach with your left to unzip. Your strong hand goes straight for the grip. Try also removing the pull tab from the rightmost zipper so you don’t inadvertently reach for the right zipper and pull both along.

    How does one turn 1:30 of content into a 7:37 video?…… just keep repeating the same words over and over and over, then repeat those same words over and over and over. After that, go back and repeat those same words that were already repeated, over and over and over. This was so bad it was comical. I wish someone had the time to do a count.

Nothing came apart but to have all those threads coming out and fraying around the edge is unsightly on a belt you spent around $100 on.

    Basic example: Remington .308 / 165gr Core-Lok is supersonic out to 800yds. Handloading can extend that a bit. 308 is designed to withstand 24% more pressure than 7.62 x 51 (62,000/psi vs 50,000/psi).

    I’ve got a P365 SAS that I plan to have milled but I’m stuck between the RMRcc and the holosun. There’s not a lot of positive talk about the rmrcc mostly cause you have to get it milled or an adapter plate, but since I plan to get it milled anyways what would be your thoughts on the matter for someone who has no experience with trijicon?
