How Does the Echelon VIS Optic Mount Work?
What rings are you using
Could you show it loaded? Always hard to gauge just how much these can hold.
Absolutely love Smith enterprise I got 3 of their rifles
Just got their trigger, mag release, and mag extension.
You said a lot of NOTHING !
Thanks for the review
How many channels do you have my guy
I appreciate how thorough you are in this review! Earned yourself a sub! Good stuff
I just picked one of these up and absolutely love it. Its great for short hikes, walking, urban walking, touristing..etc.. awesome bags. Holds just about everything one would need on a day out.
He is everywhere 😂
i have the floyd magwell, you can use the factory mag extensions with it just fine. the 17rnd also works but you really have to press it up in there, but it will work.
Patiently waiting for the compact version.
It’s dope they have a channel for the products they have but should show stock items not products with work done that will void warranty
I really like that offering. Solid review.
Thanks for the video! You made a worse gun but it's still fun to see the Echelon.
Can anyone verify if it works with a Holosun 509T, or Olight Valkyrie?
The dude is on so many channels 😂
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.
Mine fucking rattles man…it sucks…took it apart and still rattles. This could likely mean its the ammo
No issues with optic being to close to ejection port?
It's always good to see a nice gun.
I am 160lb 6ft tall so thin. I edc ccw apendix everyday with my prodigy 4.25. No issues and easy to do with good holster. 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?
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.
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.
Springfield saw what Floyd’s custom is doing and decided to try and undercut them. I love Springfield but they’re playing catch up.
Does anyone now make a scout scope that is like a 1x6 and have a red dot at the cross hairs that you can turn on or off? Could be the best of both worlds.
comfort quality and I would include fit too and I say kore is the winner
Got mine from sportsman warehouse for 349.99. I love it
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.
If only they used a stock fit for adults and used a recoil pad over that hard piece of rubber they call a pad.
Ive got one, and my scout scope is a Leepers UTG. I just need to go practice with it some more! Great gun!
Been watching your videos for a while. Really dig them. Did not know I wasn’t subscribing, So I did👍
Yup $350 !!
where
Good video. Would love to see a comparison vides btw. the Ronin and the Garrison.
I know this is kind of a rude question to ask but could you give me a ball park figure of what it cost to have smith enterpises rework your gun?
Dude, how many channels do you have?!?! I can't keep up, but I am subbed here too. RLTW.
Just ordered this for my Kimber camp guard 10 mm
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.
do those base plates really wiggle that badly?
I have had 2 nexbelts over that last few years. I am a bigger guy. I have had the material inside of the break around the 1 year mark on each. The stitching came apart on both. Nothing came apart but to have all those threads coming out and fraying around the edge is unsightly on a belt you spent around $100 on.
is this just a sales pitch for springer? sure seems like it.
patriot cnc is far much better then springers comp
@@johnnynguyen9449 i have parts from both, and they are both good, but its just this guys shilling for a company without saying it.
Basic example: Remington .308 / 165gr Core-Lok is supersonic out to 800yds. Handloading can extend that a bit. 308 is designed to withstand 24% more pressure than 7.62 x 51 (62,000/psi vs 50,000/psi).
Glad to see this I have thought about the knife. Good video and to the point
TOILETS IN THE BACKGROUND? TOTAL FAIL.
Love mine the extractor broke replaced it been a good shooter ever since. Just can't see that much investment in a 600$ gun sorry
the question no is one asking. Does mantisX store data and upload somewhere else? Like to law enforcement or agencies who are keen on spying on americans?
In real life, if you shoot someone 100 yards out, you will be charged for murder.
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?
