    • @citizenpew
      @citizenpew Před dnem

      The problem was actually the mag release. I made a follow up video on what I found, but long story short, there was a burr on the mag latch, so even when the mag release button was fully depressed the burr was still holding onto the mag. After taking a file to it the mags released as intended. Since this video I've encountered a few that had the same issue, most likely a bad batch of parts that nobody caught.

  • @rickpeck7472
    @rickpeck7472 Před dnem

    Click! I could predict every time it would go click. Hint: Mag springs have to be an exact length. If there is too much pressure the bolt will ride over the round. Note : if the front of the round has a scrape, spring is too tight. other problem is the feed ramp is not machined properly. These are pretty much made in Turkey. Very low quality. My suggestion, if you want a hog round in AR platform - go with a 450 bushmaster. I have worked on 100 s of these before I retired. 410 is a bad choice and not dependable in the AR platform. Safir is a Turkey manufacturer that started this mess. Dont waste your time and money doing this. Just buy a shotgun that is tube fed instead of a mag. Just saying! Imagine a mad hog running at you and the gun goes "CLICK"

    • @citizenpew

      Yeah, the .410 AR has definitely been a disappointment overall. I got this upper as part of a trade so it's not as upsetting as if I had purchased it outright. I have a coworker with a 460 bushmaster AR, he seems to like it. Might be something I try down the line.

  • @milehighgimpster

    I'm just a recreation shooter so I'd be the last one to ask but I appreciate your information and making the video. But, I want to say this: I was at a gun store 2 weeks ago and I was ready to purchase a new handgun because my Glock 19 doesn't shoot well for me. And the person behind the counter said it could be your trigger position rather than needing a new gun.

    • @citizenpew
      @citizenpew Před dnem

      Trigger position is kind of a catch all "try this" problem solver in my opinion. Does it matter, yes, is it unique to all shooters, also yes. The idea these days is ideal handling, if you have a solid grip, good secondary hand support, and proper stance the trigger finger position is mostly irrelevant. That all said, it assumes the shooter has a firearm in which they can achieve a comfortable finger position with the trigger while applying handling principles. Regarding Glocks, they're not known for their universal ergonomics, I know people who shoot well with anything but a Glock. You try a different brand of an equivalent size to your G19, if you have a range that rents or a friend with something it would give you an idea if it's you or the firearm design. I buy and sell a lot and personally I prefer a number of firearms over Glock. Glocks are functionally reliable, but if the ergonomics aren't right for you it might not be your best choice. Long winded reply, but just some thoughts to consider. Thanks for watching.

      lol, just a heads up, it's tough to give up the Glock. If you have a number of Glock mags you might look into BUL Armory's AXE, the compact version uses G19 mags and the full size uses G17 mags. They look nice and the ergonomics is night and day compared to the Glock. I did a video on both the compact and full size, and I'm looking at getting the optics cut model as well. The base models (non-optics ready) run a little over $400 bucks, so easy on the pocket book too.

  • @MasqUp
    @MasqUp Před 4 dny

    I think it matters if you're learning to shoot and/or don't have a foundational grip. Pulling the trigger (because you're not pulling the trigger straight back because your finger is connected to your hand on the side of the grip) can move your placement horizontally. I think you've adapted this with your grip to compensate which is obviously advantageous and again limits or almost eliminates this. I think the practice of shooting and finding that stable grip is more important but to try and see if your trigger finger placement makes a difference until you find your working formula that allows you the most accuracy. Additionally (not saying I disagree with your decision to shoot at 15 feet) the spread would double at 30 feet and have a more discernable difference to learn from to correct .

    • @citizenpew
      @citizenpew Před 4 dny

      Good stuff, I agree, new shooters and those with little training, finger placement could have a significant role while they learn other handling principles. Distance as well could be a factor, further out could definitely show more deviation from center. I'll probably do another video on this after I get some more feedback to perform a more scientific test.

    • @MasqUp
      @MasqUp Před 3 dny

      ​​​@@citizenpewThank you. I appreciate your video and all your time, monies and efforts in creating this video. I'd be curious as to the most important fundamentals that correlate to accuracy. Maybe showing how choosing the correct firearm that fits in your hand, proper first and support hand placement which totally negates finger placement and stance, I think proving those grip fundamentals are what really matter if that's what your testing shows. That would aviod your viewers not going down an unnecessary rabbit hole of listening to many just to be more lost. Either way, appreciate what your doing and your videos.

    • @citizenpew
      @citizenpew Před 3 dny

      Grip is definitely important, and worthy of a video for sure. I know many who won't shoot certain firearms because the grip just doesn't fit right in their hand, and I have just the variety to demonstrate that!! Appreciate the feedback, I'm always looking for ideas on content outside of just demonstrating a new firearm I picked up.

    I am a card carrying revolver Bro but I just bought one. It will be a couple of weeks before I can get to a range so I don't yet know if it was a good decision but here is my reasoning. I have been out of shooting for quite some time and I wanted an affordable weapon to rebuild my skills and learn to deal with my less stellar eyesight. Being a 22 which is not really practical for reloading I don't mind it flinging brass all over. If I get my knee fixed it would be an easy lightweight woods walk about gun that could pop an occasional rabbit or squirrel. It also carries very easily and can serve as a defensive weapon in swarm of angry bees mode due to capability for rapid aimed fire. There are some negative reviews as there are with any weapon but the proponderence of positive reviews including long term when combined with the low price made it seem a reasonable risk.

    I've got the PMR30 and the CMR30 to go with it. I had some issues with the PMR when I first bought it (bough that one before the CMR), but I took some time learning to load/reload the mags and I haven't had any issues the past few times I've gone out with it. Love how light it is and the capacity. Loud little bugger, and it always gets a few looks whenever I start shooting. It's not "optics ready" but you can buy a Burris or Doctor optic plate from Keltec that only takes a few minutes to install. I've seen a bunch of people talk about getting the MCarbo upgrade kit, but I see no reason to get any of it beyond MAYBE the stainless steel feed ramp and the improved buffer pad. Though I need neither right now, I can see the plastic factory feed ramp maybe getting scuffed up enough to warrant a more robust alternative. MCarbo says the buffer bad wears out quickly, but I've got hundreds of rounds through mine and the buffer seems fine. Nothing else in the upgrade kit seems necessary, all the rest seem to be more cosmetic. I might buy one of their metal PMR mags, but at $75 a pop, that's a hefty investment (and it looks like they have issues with them). Factory mags are around $30, and seem sturdy enough. Great video. Thanks for the info.
