    The P30Sk (non-LEM) is a wonderful gun. Springfield used to make the XDE which was a DA/SA hammer fired 9MM which was also a great sub compact offering. I sold my striker fired pistols several years ago because of the danger of accidental discharges especially when carrying concealed. If they ever stop making DA or DA/SA pistols I will go back to revolvers.

    I picked up a pair of the 10875 yesterday (under $215), which was much cheaper than the Heritage line up. The shoe store I purchased them at has a machine to add lace speed hooks. I had the top eyelets replaced with hooks, but I should have done the top two maybe? I don't normally buy moc toe/wedge sole boots, but I am looking forward to giving these a try. I hope to wear them for many years. I have a pair of 953 Super Sole boots that are 19 years old, but they also look like it. The 10875 seems like a very well built boot, & I like that lace speed hooks can be added to them.

    I would say that neither is the best option. The best option is the P365 X Macro non-comp version. That or the P365 X with the MagGuts 14 round magazines. And if you get the Icarus grip module with the built in "gas pedal" for either gun, then you've really got something special.

      @@TheArkansasGunGuy I had the comped version and didn't find there to be a significant difference in recoil. At the same time, the greater sight radius of the non-comped version helps me to get on target faster. But really, you can't go wrong with either. I do recommend the Icarus Precision grip module with the built in gas pedal. It's pricey at $400 but worth it in my opinion.

    That stripping is supposed to be cut at the top near the front of the cab, they are not supposed to overlap the sides like that, the side rails of the cover do go over the bed caps and that weather stripping but unless you cut that flush with the side bed caps you will never allow that to lay totally flat there. Just a tip from the peanut gallery

    • @mendoafgoo420
      @mendoafgoo420 Před 4 dny

      The one on my ram 2500 I have the side rails canted at an angle with the outside parts with the seal as tight as humanly possible to the bed caps and the inner part pulled up as high as I could so that the seals function as intended and I also cut the weather stripping at the front bed cap to lay flat since they give you too much overhang when new and tell you to cut it back so it lays flat. If you do this properly the only spot water enters is at the tailgate when you open it but they even have a weather stripping kit for the tailgate itself so you make it totally sealed inside. Hope this helps

    Nice video and great shooting range you have there! I have question. I have second hand P09. When I bought it I cleaned it really and there were nothing in the barrel bore. After 100 shots there are tiny flakes peeled around land edges near chamber and a few flakes near crown. They are not deep, just rough grey spots just bellow surface. I think it is just something like "finish wear" or top layer of tenifer (softer thin layer which makes black color). Is it normal?

    Bought mine about a year or so ago but it has the original polygonal rifling. Easier to clean but instructions say do not shoot cast lead bullets through it. With cost of ammunition rising they switched to conventional rifling through it. Despite the case having dust on it, it is the newer version. Apparently leading cakes up the barrel leading to higher pressures.

  • @roaringsteelmedia
    @roaringsteelmedia Před 8 dny

    One more thing: Canik makes a DA/SA poly frame striker pistol called the TP9DA (which means it's the DA version of their TP9 pistol, not to be confused with the single action only TP9SA). Everything that people love about the Canik's was plagiarized from Walther. The crisp trigger with short reset was practically Walther's calling card and Canik just swiped it. Now that we're in the era of the pre-cocked striker, Canik's SFT and Mete guns are still just ripoffs of newer Walthers like the PPQ and the PDP. I guess for those who are still interested in a striker pistol in DA/SA format but somehow completely missed the boat on Walther's P99 (which will be remembered as a masterpiece by those who have tried it), the TP9DA might be a good option. But that's kind of like when you order a Coke and the waiter says they only have Pepsi, it's not exactly the same. To answer your question, yes, there are still some P99 Final Editions floating around but they won't last forever. There will come a day when they'll run out and these will go up in value. Will it be enough that you should deny yourself the fun of shooting it now? That just depends on whether keeping your collection is pristine is more important than a fun range day. I will say that if you want to get a beater P99 to keep your Final Edition perfect, make sure you get a P99 AS. The "anti-stress" trigger was the P99's defining trait. The P99 QA (which stands for "quick action") is a P99 iteration that came out as people were transitioning away from DA/SA to go to pre-cocked strikers and it loses what made the P99 special in the first place.

    • @gracedagostino5231
      @gracedagostino5231 Před 8 dny

      Exactly, the P99 QA is just a pre PPQ, better to get the P99 AS. There is a reason all the Final Editions are the AS version.

    I was in junior high back in the 90's when the P99 was the pistol of the future. It was the new gun of 007 and there was something about it that completely captured my imagination. I was so sad to see it finally discontinued but it's awesome that it had such a run and Walther even gave it a proper send-off with this Final Edition. I still think it's a cool gun. The paddle mag release is my favorite, the ergos are solid and the functionality is perfect. I wish DA/SA was still trending because there deserve to be more DA/SA poly frame striker guns out there, I prefer this over the pre-cocked striker for safer carry every day. Great video, cheers! 🍻

    I was in the USAF for 15 years in the Security Forces/Combat Arms Instructor career fields, so lots of firearms experience. I've had a CZ 75B Omega for a number of years and it's hands-down my favorite pistol! I picked up a Sig P320 AXG Carry (all metal LEO/First Responder model) and lived it. It was just too heavy for all day CCW. I sold it last week and wanted a good quality, hammer-fired, polymer-framed pistol that was a proven excellent model for CCW and home defense. I keep coming back to the CZ P-07, so bought one! I have not put any rounds through it yet, but can't wait. With the money I saved, I'm upgrading some of the internals and I have a set of Dawson sights and Talon grips on their way! It should be a tack-driver!
