Don't call it a comeback :My social media return and why you shouldn't listen to "influencers"
it's been three years since I've posted. Along with job changes I've become more and more disenfranchised by the social media experience and the new wave of "influencers". Here's what I've been up to and what the future of this channel looks like.

When a Glock owner buys a Glock, you know what you're getting. Little difference, same concept.
I just found you today while I was looking for a dryfiremag review. Then I went over few of your videos. Then I saw your last one. Well, I’m soon to be retire from law enforcement. It’s a great pleasure that out there are a new generation for us to pass the torch. You gave me that hope that I gave up, you are not the new average cop, you know how to transfer knowledge without texting, not cocky at all. Stay tintándoos for the most, be safe P.s. I can use some reloading tips….
I used to carry Glock 17, so my backup was the 26. In my new job we carry S&W mP9 M-2.0. I’m still carrying the 26 as a backup but as you know, magazines don’t fit. What should I get to replace the 26 as a backup?
Hope you are doing good, this video is spot on
I Cajunized my P07, now is more expensive than a Glock or a PX4 but is custom, smooth, super reliable and works really really good. Since I have big hands my pinky jugs the edge of the P07 grip so I bought a P09 magazine and installed "The NULL: CZ P07 19 Round Magazine Adapter Sleeve" to the magazine. If you have big hands or like more capacity this is the way to go.
Thank you for the intro! Seriosuly debating between the 2.. Knowing it's gonna be both.lol More like which one first
What a difference 5 years makes.
Does it replicate the slack that's in a Glock trigger?
I’m gonna watch but my first thought is how is this going to be a 14 min video
It's a great gun. End of dissc!!!
Ok. Thanks! But I want to send off a token of appreciation for the information/opinions you had about the P229 Elite. That video (only first viewed just a few months ago) played into my recent purchase of a P229 Pro and an older P229 Legacy Carry. I'm lucky I ran across your channel. So again, thanks.
why can't you go to the range and drive tacks with it? It has sights doesn't it? Why limit yourself like that? Sorry to give you a hard time but I hear a lot of gun guys talk like that recently
But the Cz has a stock trigger! The px4 did not! Apples / oranges….
What is the difference in generations?
I just took the gun class for the ltc. I plan on getting this gun
love the huge mim extractor
I didn't 'need' the Like New P239 I recently bought for $475, either...😊
I really liked how this turned into a 3 gun review. I'm looking for a new EDC gun. I used to carry a CZ-75 back in the steel gun days and loved it. I have been carrying a Glock 19, but I want to switch back to a DA/SA for liability reasons. You have given me a lot to think about. Its probably going to come down to availability, feel, and price in my local area.
100% useful! I am a firearms instructor for a major Police Department and have used it to great and quantifiable success. It’s a tool… use it as such. With proper direction with respect to the fundamentals, it does in fact help. I will say, I used it for a year straight in classes and dry firing… probably 30,000 presses along with a Mantis X. It broke in a year, due to said usage. IMHO, well worth the 100 bucks.
Why the sig hat..? Glock has nice hats, yes i own 4 glocks
2024 the 2022 is going to be discontinued 😢
blue lives dont matter
Don't drop yer FN in the best Belgium beer - Duvel 666. You wont be able to shoot the bartender. But seriously, great real world information Jay . Poor engineering of the striker channel and slide drainage. Your observations are valid. 👮♂️🚨🗽✌️🎯🇺🇲
Your a rock star 🏆👍 This gets into engineering, design, quality, reliability. A GLOCK at the end if the day is an exceptional pistol. I've owned Walther, H&K, Sig, Steyr, Ruger, CZ... I've sold most of them off and returned to my staples. G17 L 9mm G40 10mm G17 C 9mm G25 .380 Love to wrap the grips with Combat Textiles fabric, in colorscand camo. A great alternative to Talon. Thank Jay ✌️🎯🇺🇲
If viewers comment on your flags, delete them. Simple. Its your business. Your pride. Don't acknowledge idiots..its now May 2024 and your fans hope you find the time to film some more. Your sober, mature presentations are quality, instructive, and relaxing in a crazy video luney tunes world. Be safe and come back 👮♂️🚨🗽✌️
This is nothing new, balance weighting at the barrel. Look back at the 1960's - 70's Walther target PP .22 pistols and H & K P9 Sport.
The slide release is hard to operate for an old man...shoots great but hard to operate...
Now five years later and this mag is still 114$ and hasn’t changed at all lol
Ridiculous comparison. Make better videos
I’d like you to do scenarios: home defense, car defense, cop/civilian etiquette, trigger control. Sight picture, target transitions… packs bugout bags, survival, stuck bullets in barrels, gear, lights, etc…
Great news thank you for your update. Totally agree with your views. Work safe so you can enjoy your future retirement. ⚖️🗽🇺🇲✌️
Meanwhile, it's May 2024 and Glock has announced the new G17L Generation 5 ❗ I love mine, sold my G34 MOS because I like the overall feel of the 17L better. Slightly smoother, just a slightly nicer recoil feeling. Rest in Peace Gaston Glock 🇩🇪🥀 1929 ~ 2023
You grow, you change priorities, you mellow, you move in, your life responsibilities change. Do what you enjoy. When your time frees up, video if you can. I'm retired, your not. Its alright. When you have the time and your motivated you'll turn the camera in. 💥🎯⚖️🇺🇲✌️ Be careful , from New SigHampshire
SIG currently has SP2022 spare parts kits for $49. These are HARD to find.
The Gen 5 G17 magazines work with the 19X
I bought one for my 48, definitely not a true feel of the trigger pull, and not worth $100.
Cos I want to carry I'd go for Storm compact
I thought this was a Glock 30 review? Not an ammunition history.
I love sig pro 😍😁
Thanks. I was going to make this my swimming pistol.
Thanks for the video. I'll be using it to swap my 92X over to G.
Been trying to figure out what the actual difference is between the 3 Glock 30 models. What is the difference between the regular G30 the G30S and the G30SF?
The slide on the 30s is thinner than the other 2
With a loaded carry weight of 34 oz, the real question is can you group defensive rounds rapidly under pressure at up to seven yards.
I have large/ex. Large hand size, and I prefer 4.5, 5, 6" full size pistols so I love my P-09 Suppressor Ready, comes with 2- 21round mags. Ergonomics, heft, full grip size for control. Great review 👍👍
If anyone is on the fence on getting a 17L, go for it. They're currently back in production as of early 2024. Just took mine out for the first time today and agree with J, it's a soft and fun shooter. Had a BB gun of it as a kid, and thankfully the real one doesn't disappoint! Just gonna put adjustable targets sights on it for a 90s steel shootin' type build, and call it a day. It's a keeper.
Thank you for this very helpful video.
Obviously bigger is better
I now own both of these pistols. --- I just got my PX4 Storm Compact Carry-2. I really like the recessed hammer, and really like the orange-red glow front sight. It's very easy to line up on target. Try it, you'll like it. - I have to say its trigger is the absolute best there is compared to all the other DA pistols I have - velvety smooth and precise DA action each and every time. -- One thing I think will really surprise new users of this weapon is the decocker. When I first racked it for dry-fire and used the decocker, I expected a soft seating of the hammer like on my other DA pistols. My CZ-P07 decocker is the best - it gently seats the hammer to half-cock. - Well, the decocker on the PX4 CC2 releases the hammer with a seemingly full trigger force. I thought:- Oh boy -- that's not good! - It felt like decocking the hammer would certainly fire the pistol. The hammer force in decocking felt exactly the same as dry-firing it. - So, put my trusty 9mm laser round in it - decocked it - the hammer came down hard, but no laser fire. Dry-fired it and the laser lit up on the wall. Did both several times with the same result - decocking doesn't activate the laser round while firing the pistol does. Since Beretta does not cover this very strange phenomenon in their manual or in any review I've seen so far, including this one, can someone please explain how the hammer on the PX4 CC2 coming down with seemingly full firing force while decocking does not fire the pistol? Thanks.
The G26 WILL get you some trim..
Saltwater or Freshwater? Or is it both? Just asking because I live on the coast and did not if this was a problem just for the inlanders?
