Go Navy! Thanks for watching. It’s so comfortable even without a holster, just in my pocket. But a leather holster completes its so well. 👍🇺🇸

@@FirstNatureBackland I'm carrying my Taurus 856 in a leather holster at this moment.

Excellent point! Incentivized sales is a part of the industry.

Thanks for watching. I’ll keep that in mind in the future. I did mention that it is made by Camco. You can find Camco products at various places like Camping World and Walmart, to name a few.

Thanks! I hope Beryl isn’t affecting you there in the lone star state. And thank you for your service. USNR ET2 Surgemain (2011-2018).

@@FirstNatureBackland Nope, I'm in DFW and Beryl completely sidestepped us. But I'm sure feeling bad for those 3 million people in Houston STILL without power. I can only imagine the carnage if that storm was Cat 5 instead of Cat 1.

I don’t have a vertical fore grip or an aftermaket pump. So I cannot make an honest recommendation on either. But there are multiple options online.

Yes sir, there are some great micro 9mm pistols out there, but they all give the perception that they are “easy” to load, “easy” to fire, “easy” to handle. And while that might not be difficult for some, it is not “as easy” as it is in a larger platform, just due too its size. Similar to lifting something that is 50lbs and the size of a shoebox versus something 50lbs and the size of a sofa. The size alone makes it difficult and awkward to handle, dare I say unsafe. Like you said, technique must then be more closely examined and carefully focused on just to prevent a back injury. All because of its size. Great comment and thank you for watching!

Good on you for showing her another option. Yes P22s can be very picking on ammo. I prefer the CCi minimags too. Blazer aluminum usually works for me too but not from the bulk boxes. Thanks for commenting and watching!

A single action gun with no hammer is a no action gun. 😜

I’ve never fired the LC9 but I know it’s a popular choice. I really like Ruger as well. I have the PC9 carbine with a Vortex Crossfire II red-dot. I plan on doing a video soon. Plus they are made in Prescott, Arizona. I lived in AZ a long time and I love that town. Elk Grove has grown a lot. I want to check out that new casino out there. Thanks for commenting and watching!

I hope you enjoy it. I plan on doing a leather care video for that exact holster soon. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching!

Amen

Right on! Thanks brother! Hooyah

0 feed issues. I’ve also seen some people have serious malfunctions. But I have not had one, and I’ve never cleaned it. It’s had about 300 rounds through it since I bought it in 2020. That number is bound to increase now that it’s more comfortable to shoot.

It’s a small world! You rock!

Nice. Every time I see Win Ling Beard I want to pick some up, but I can’t use it in CA. If there is a tungsten version I haven’t seen one. I plan on picking up the Carlson Heavyweight for next season. I can’t wait to try it out. Thanks!

Hi LILLMOE, the links are in the description just below the video. They are in blue text. Thanks for watching.

Thanks! Back at you. Representing 2A from inside enemy lines, CA & NY.

@FirstNatureBackland haha. Absolutely true. This state isn't 2A friendly at all. Hopefully they get their act together soon and stop infringing on our rights.

Thanks for the support back. Any thoughts of the remington gold bucket ammo??

We have suffered the same pain. Lol. I know exactly what you mean. I hope you enjoy your new recoil pad. Thanks!

I like the Max 9 over the P365 too. I shot the Sig P365 once. I didn’t like the feel. The grip to me felt too thin. The Max 9 fits much better in my hand. I served 2011 - 2018, ET2. Thanks for your service and for watching, brother.

Was it bulk? I think you could weigh bulk ammo on an accurate scale and the heavy ones will be fine and the light ones will be underpowered. If the ammo has sat for a few years and suitably boxed, you can rap it on the table a few times to fluff up the powder and prevent squibs because the priming on a rimfire it's that powerful.

@robertkubrick3738 interesting. Yes, it was a box of 500, all the rounds just loose in there. About 60% of the jams were caused by underpowered rounds, and 40% were light strikes

@@ProductBasement Ammo in the 100 round or 50 round plastic boxes with each round individual, or bulk placed in an empty 50-100 box, bang them on a table a couple times. Or just old ammo. The powder can clump. Or some of it is just inconsistent ammo but taking out a variable can help. I learned this watching a video of a guy shooting Winchester brand and he had squibs that were barely making it out of a rifle and he cured it by banging the ammo on a table. He still had a couple that might have been a little underpowered but no outright squibs.

I’ve been curious about trying waterfowl loads for turkey, but I’d hate to waste a shot and injure a bird. I’m certain it’s been done before though. Hunters of generations past didn’t have heavy tungsten loads. Lead loads are out of the question in CA but interestingly they are still sold in stores. 🤔 thanks!

Every gun is different. I attributed the FTFs and FTEs to the gun being dirty. But it sounds like your other 22s shoot great. 👍. Too bad you didn’t name the models. But again, your “others” may like all the ammo in this video. 👍. Well mine doesn’t perform well with Aguila. It never has. You see, guns tend to be that way. Even two guns of the same model may shoot the same box of ammo differently. Gun people know this.

I agree, I have a Walther P22 it shoots good, most of my FTE or FTF are on Federal Match Ammo. Me and my cousin both have same year manufactured (1979) Marlin model 60, mine absolutely hates Winchester, but shoots Federal flawlessly. His hates Federal and CCI and Remington, but will rapid fire Winchester without a single malfunction. Guns are like people, what one person likes to eat, another cant eat it.

@@FirstNatureBackland the “others” are the Ruger sr22 and mark 4

@@chrisburnsed6349 When you get 10k rounds through them, they seem to become less finicky. When I get a new pistol I usually sit and watch a movie and rack the slide or bolt for two hours about as fast as I can. This simulates thousands of rounds of firing and I don't have to clean them or waste ammo to get them smooth as I want them. If you take the slide off and catch the hammer not letting it hit the frame you can wear in the sear engagement, resetting and pulling the trigger several thousand times.

Well put. It is significantly easier on the wallet. I’ve never experienced blowback like that from any brand. That sucks. Thanks for watching.

Fantastic! Yeah Mike, owner of American Tactical Firearms is a good guy. Unfortunately, I heard through a friend, that this might be his last year in business. His business is falling victim to California’s SB1384. Unfortunately the CA version of the Max 9 does not accept red dot sights due to the loaded chamber indicator. At least not at the moment. The front and rear sights can be replaced. Maybe someone will develop a red dot that can replace the rear sight?

You are welcome! 🙏

Nope. Good eye. I ordered that after buying the truck. It took about 6 months to arrive, but it’s on there now.

Thank you! Just remember to clean it after a range session. It will likely have to be you. In my travels I’ve known 0 female gun owners who clean their guns. Not to knock the ladies. Just think how many women you know who change their own oil. They are out there, somewhere. Personally I’ve known 1.

I was just in that store, and they had 6. The guy looking at one at the counter was talked out of it by the store employee . Even they know that gun is crap. He said he couldn’t sleep at night and recommend the gun. That came from the store employee who sells it.

It’s interesting why they would have 6 guns in stock that they “don’t recommend” because they “know are crap”. 🤔 hmm, 6 guns that they don’t want to sell? That’s a fantastic way to run a business. Or, you are full of 💩. Stop trolling my viewers.

Thank you! Cheers!

No the OEM grips were comfortable. I just don’t like the feel of rubber and I wanted a classic detective look. Thanks.

Yeah most of our issues that day were due to the gun being dirty as mentioned towards the end. But I have had problems with Aguila out of that gun before. To your point, they were from bricks. But my Rossi 22 shoots them just fine. Hey that’s guns for ya. Thanks for watching.

A clean up day is good idea. I’ll reach out to the forest service to see about closing that road for a clean up day. There are dozens of spots just off that one road that look like that. I use boxes too. I’m just a sucker for simple and effective innovations. Thanks for supporting!

I’ve seen more and more folks using 410. I personally don’t know anyone who uses one. But I know some folks swear by it for turkey. 9.5 seems small but that makes sense if you are using a 410 with a choke like that. I need to get a red dot to complete my setup. I’m going to check out the Burris. Good luck this season!

@@FirstNatureBackland you too man. I switched my mount from a Sumtoy to the EGW and it's better made in my opinion. You can't go wrong with a Burris Fastfire.

Thanks for asking. I don’t use this for self defense. But I do keep it loaded in my safe with CCi Stingers.
