Joe's reluctance to shoot them might make for an embarrassing tombstone marker: "Here lies Joe ... he REALLY didn't want to shoot his Ticondas"
christianoutlaw your comment was pretty funny, but it makes you wonder......would solid snake carry Ticondas? Lol
Someone is going to inherit his Ticondas when he dies and shoot them causing him to come back from the grave.

Yep

No one has ever been shot and said, “Fool! You should have used hyper ammo!”
If ya manage to hit them with those wack off center groups
You’re only a 80 fps short to kill me!
unfortunately my dog did. She was a German shepherd that was old and suffering so I took her out to a place in the woods to put her down. I had my 45 loaded with ball ammo. I shot her point blank in the back of the head and she screamed like i never heard a dog scream. I had to empty the magazine into her. It's one of the worst experiences of my life. After that i have used hyper ammo. If I had used it on her instead of the ball ammo she would have died instantly and not screamed. Though she didn't use the words. she did communicate to me that what i used was unacceptable.
@@puppyupper4565 My guy, Barbiturates would've made thing's a lot less stressful. Please stop shooting your dogs lol.
@@MegaBoooooooooooooob i don't have access to barbiturates. If I had used hyper ammo she wouldn't have felt a thing. The vet here charges 150 to put down a dog. And I have never had a dog that didn't stress at the vet.
Paul, I’m a 76 yr old combat vet and have been shooting for 66 years. I’ve hunted and have been in civilian active shooter situations. Of all of the “teaching” and review videos I’ve watched(thousands over 10 years of viewing) you are undoubtedly one of the best. My two sons watch your videos regularity. Thank you for your efforts. Keep up the great work. God bless you and yours.
A question -- if you have a moment -- what other channels would you recommend?
I agree.
Gods are fictional.
@@MichaelKingsfordGray nobody asked
@@Numizard Yes they did, anonymous imbecile!
Lack of tactical "peacocking" is what makes this channel great.
*Cough* Garand Thumb *Cough*
So true..buuuut I'd love to see him in SWAT Breacher gear lol
I find a lot of the tactical stuff to be kinda nonsense, people now days with their high speed low drag tactical gear are kinda annoying. Sure it's nice to have stuff that's ergonomic and versatile. Though at a three gun match if there were two guys with equal skill and one had a bone stock AR or some other auto rifle that has a decent optic mounted, and the other had some tactical gear there probably won't really be much difference.
I wouldn't know, the only gun channels I watch are Paul and hickock 45, but I don't doubt your experience for one moment.
@@tastychunks the main is a instructor in the airforce that does gun and equipment reviews...and makes jokes about LARPing and airsofting in the gear.
would you call it even peacocking at that point? I watch GT, Lucas from Trexarms, Larry Vickers, and Paul Harrell. They all have different experiences but usually are great people to watch, and I love paul to death because he appeals to the average shooter and logic of owning, and using guns in a defense situation, and ammo choices. GT tells me if a plate carrier is good or not, and Lucas tells me how to train myself to be fast in a defense situation.
The only thing I disagree with is your opinion of, and apology for your speaking abilities. You just went 35 minutes without saying the word "UM" once, which is quite refreshing to find on CZcams.
Daniel Sullivan yes I agree and no like likes !
And not a million cuts. These CZcams people, especially the millinneals, can’t get through six words without an edit.
CZcams? Heck I haven't seen anyone talk as clearly and lucidly as this guy ever. Well, maybe some highly trained news reporters.

I'm waitingh for Paul to take a hot cup of coffee out of his pocket.
In the movie "The Mask", Jim Carrey pulled out a Thompson SMG out of his pocket. I want to see Paul beat that. I know he can. I bet he could fit a light machine gun. :)
@@midimusicforever To see a kind of grusom example of what you are speaking about look for a video of the attempted assassination of Ronald Regan outside the Hilton Hotel in D.C. A Secret Service agents produced a sub-machinegun from his business suit in the blink of an eye. For a comical example (what I originally had in mind) see a video of Harpo Marx pull a lit candle from his trench coat.

“So if you have watched this whole thing thank you for your patience.”
Of course i watched the whole thing. I don’t skip class.
👌
I watch most of his videos, even if they don't have anything to do with the gun, caliber, or ammo I'm using. I watch for the information, and entertainment.
@@Normal1855 you may have the gun or ammo on the video at another time and then you'll know👍
“But I don’t want to shoot my ＴＩＣＯＮＤＡＳ”
I lost it the third time he said it! You can tell those are not the only three times he heard such lunacy.
You can tell he really, REALLY wanted to take that pistol and mag dump the whole box into a berm just to be rid of it. Such a great storyteller.
Classic!!!!
I just welded my barrel shut so I couldn't shoot my precious TICONDAS.
That was the best part!
“All I’m going today is talk” don’t threaten me with a good time
No need to get hostile. You just come off like the typical office suck up with your comment.

I dunno... you reek of sycophant.
George Flythe and you reek of dunning Kruger effect

What a great presentation. I couldn't agree more with point 7. I've preached that for years. RIP, in particular, is horrible ammunition in more than one way. I would also like to mention that while you may be criminally absolved of any wrong doing, you still potentially face civil action. Look at OJ Simpson as an example. Try explaining to a jury in a civil case why you used RIP ammo. You can still be found guilty of wrongful death or even murder in a civil case and thus financially wrecked for life. I would argue civil cases are far worse to endure with the exception that if found guilty you're only facing financial ruin and not the death penalty or life behind bars being Bubb's girlfriend for 40 years.
I've also witnessed, first hand, the "precious" syndrome many times. Please keep these videos coming. Your presentation style is so palatable that 30 minutes seems like 10.
Military Arms Channel I could say the same about your videos, you both make good stuff :)
martindude Thank you, brother. Paul is a treasure to the online firearms community. He’s exceptionally intelligent, well read, articulate... pretty much everything I’m not. LOL He’s one of the very few GunTubers I trust and refer to when I’m mulling something over in my grape. Ironically, we see eye to eye on most everything, but I’ve also learned a lot of good info from him. If you think you know everything, you’re an idiot. :) There’s always someone more knowledgeable and if you’re not learning every single day you’re sucking air, you’re doing yourself a horrible disservice. I learn a lot from my own viewers as well. Thank you for the support.
I totally agree on all points
This is why we love and respect the both of you. You guys are class acts and really irreplaceable in the pro 2A community. Thanks for all that you both do. Also nice to know that you both watch and support each other's channels. We appreciate all the knowledge that is shared. Keep it coming.
What if Paul told you to shoot .40 S&W though...
18:20 is where we are introduced to "Hirtenberger Buscadero Ticondas". Fun facts: Hirtenberger Defense Systems is a manufacturer and provider of mortar systems, Buscadero is a type of western style leather gun belt and holster, and now Ticandas is a generic term used to describe exotic or "hyper" ammo thanks to Paul. Thanks Paul.
Hirtenberger was indeed a manufacturer for ammo, too... I have some 45ACP still in my shelf, but it was to precious to shoot 😁
Maybe he was making up a name for black talon
A buddy of mine who also watches Paul's videos that I worked with at Walmart, every "back to school" season, whenever we walked past the "Ticonderoga" brand pencils, we would look at each other and say "MY TICANDAS" the way Paul says it and bust up laughing.
@@sobasicallyimbillcooper4543 Yeah, sounds like black talon.
Love it!! Lol!!!!

Thats the funniest reply ever...
But mostly because its EXACALLY on subject.
You forgot the " I spent more than you, so I'm better than you " people .
Love it!
@@randyowens2717 Oh god, we all know someone like this. When I bought my first pistol, I bought a Taurus TH9. It was a good gun at a very good price, and I didn't feel like spending too much of my tax return money on a pistol. So when I was talking to my guys at work, everyone was asking me how well it shot, how much I paid, etc... Except this one guy that almost only shoots Glocks. The first words out of his mouth were "you should've bought a Glock," and true to fanboy form, there was an irrelevant "ya but" to every reason why I bought a cheaper gun instead.
@@JoseARomo-qv5fk tbf, Glock is one of the cheapest standard pistols that people buy new. You know him much better than I ofc, but it might have been more of the "Glock fanboy" problem rather than "spend like I spend money" problem.
@@JoseARomo-qv5fk not knocking your Taurus, but after owning a few pistols and shooting in the Army, Glocks are pretty sweet. Just gotta watch out for slide bite.
@@jamesbecvar6350 Oh I know they're good. I'm by no means a Glock hater. The only reason I associated this person with what the original comment said, is because this guy refuses to accept that a cheaper gun can be good too. My Taurus has been good. I've put almost 1,000 rounds through it and I'm yet to have a malfunction of any kind. As far as I'm concerned, that means it's been every bit as reliable as any gun with a price tag twice as big. I bought a Taurus because I didn't want to spend $400-500 on my first pistol. Had I been willing to spend more, I would've bought an FN FNS 9. The same shop I bought the Taurus from had them new for $450 at the time. I'm a huge fan of FN, but that doesn't keep me from recognizing that a cheaper gun can be good too.
The intermission was great lol
LOL! Our local 4 screen drive in plays allot of these old videos. Love It!

Paul's dry, brutal roasts are so fantastic. Never change, sir.
He might be hyperbolic, but at least he won't shoot you with hyper velocity ammo. LOL!!
Romper room!
@@xringarcher1440 Takes me back.
His humor is great!
Once when I was a young man I told someone that "Dodge never made a 350". Had to eat crow when he opened the hood on his '58 Coronet. A much needed lesson for a young man.
Where do I buy an official Paul Harrell jacket of infinite ammo?
It also holds unlimited criminology books.
Unfortunately, any jacket will work, but only while Paul Harrell is wearing it. Once he takes it off, it becomes like any other normal jacket, and anything he stored in its magical pockets becomes inaccessible to us mere mortals. Legend has it that this is how he hides the bodies of the three dozen men he's killed using 9mm Winchester white box 147 grain jacketed hollow points; if you see little soggy bits of red shit hanging out of his pockets... that's not watermelon.
@@Dread_Naught_But_The_Dark 😅😅😅
See his video discussing his jacket.
Try scottevest. I have one that has 27 pockets with one designed to hold my iPad! Lol seriously go check them out
When you thought you couldn't like Paul Harrell any more and then he pulls out his lord of the rings ring 😂
Was just about to comment this!! Lol
'Keep it secret, keep it safe'
Just wait till you hear him casually drop some Monty Python quotes in the middle of some of his eloquent lecture segments. He is quite a goofball at times despite his rather serious demeanor, but it's not always easy to pick up on haha.
Wouldn't surprise me if it's just his wedding ring.
more excellent Paul humour

"I could probably bore you for half an hour just with stories about Joe and the Buscadero Ticondas." No, Paul, you probably couldn't. Especially if you ended each anecdote with "I don't wanna shoot my ticawwwdas". Convulsing with laughter here. Well done, sir.
It is funny but a valid point. Back when I only carried factory ammunition I would rarely fire up to a magazine of my carry ammunition to make sure it functioned and hit to the same POI as my practical ammunition. Well I got disappointed because I never did find that cartridge with that bullet weight in that specific load again and it became too precious to shoot up. By then my confidence in my own handloads had gone up and I switched to carrying my own, which in today’s artificially panic stricken society is the only ammunition I can get in any of 4 Pistol calibers I can carry. I do like a lead ball worked up to tightest group I can get from it.
@@308dad8 I never got into reloading. All the shooters in my area do, but all they care about is saving money on brass with no regard for any precision down range. I could see the appeal of learning to make match-grade precision ammo.
As far as POI, agreed--when I started out a decade ago, I kept having instructors tell me "practice ammo has the same POI, don't waste your carry ammo at the range." For a novice shooter like me, Paul might have phrased it as "with the groups you're shooting, it won't make enough of a difference to make a difference." But I tend to think a lot like Paul about certain things, however, and I won't carry anything I haven't tested until I can trust it. Only after I went through a couple boxes of carry ammo side by side with my practice ammo was I comfortable believing the POI of my practice ammo. I still run a few carry rounds every range trip just to cycle through my storage about annually. (Well, I used to do that. Then 2020 arrived and now ALL bullets are buscadero ticawwwwwndas, and I don't wanna waste 'em. :-D )
That said, my original comment was just that I could listen to Paul tell silly range stories all day. He could not, in fact, bore me--let alone to tears. :)
12:31 - "And yes, when I put it on, you can still see me." This is just one reason I keep watching Paul's videos.
He can wield the ring because he's a Maia (like Tom Bombadil), It turns us mortals invisible because we're not powerful enough to wield it and therefore the ring passes us into the wraith-world.

Id like to point out. There was not one single advertisement that interrupted this video. Rest in peace paul. You will be missed. Thank you for all your knowledge.
I learn so much from this guy. He is as far from a shill as one can be, you can tell that he's thought out his POV and he shows no bias. It either works, or it does not. Many "gun guys" are very jaded, cynical and very biased in their POV's. Not Paul. Common sense goes a long way.
If only common sense was common 0.o
lol damn, that is so true. My dad called it "walking around" sense, but that is in short supply these days. Should we start calling it *uncommon sense* ?
Or just good ol' sense? My Old Man is still a stable source of this rare commodity.
TX: And I still miss the time when it still made sense to call it "common sense".
Mine was too up till cancer ate him to the bone. One year ago last week. I miss hearing advice like "You lost your keys? Well...where did you have them last? If you go to where you last had them, you should find them!" Uhh....okay dad...thanks.... lol
Paul: lets see how it does out of a longer barrel.

Speaking of old ammo, I have a box of .45 match ammo from 1975 that was used by the Army shooting team. It was a gift from a retired Army colonel. I don't think I'll ever shoot it because it's such a cool item to me.
That IS cool actually. If u dont mind, what grain Bullitt are they, and are they standard pressure, or +p ammo???

@@ayeyobossman6151 The magic of repetition and video editing. You can cover some things up with selective editing. But rewatching video or listening to audio recordings of yourself also helps you catch - and correct - some errors before they happen. Two things I've learned since I started to actually post videos.
Paul has great delivery when he speaks. I can't stand to watch videos with "um" repeated like um every couple um words. Great job Paul, you are without question a professional! Thank you
I get the vibe that he may have had a stutter growing up and received speech therapy for it or something along those lines. The “shattner pause” that he talks about is what my step brother does when he has a stutter coming, to mentally kind of reset, and maybe this guy has been using those techniques and word choices long enough that his speech has actually improved to a level thats better than average. I love listening to him talk.
Im a Briton that has absolutely no idea about guns but finds your videos very interesting and I love how you speak, you have to be one of the best spoken people I’ve ever seen/met.

Holy moly a half hour Paul Harrell video, it must be a special day
Red letter kinda day!
I do prefer these long lecture style videos.
theGeeker Same, I love that he doesn't talk down to you like you're an idiot and he's perfect, but more that he's sharing what he knows for you to decide like your grandpa would. Weird comparison but it fits for me :D

Paul harrel is one of very few that can pull it off, and honestly this felt short, that's how good this was
I rewatch these videos a couple of times every year to see if the advice has lost its effectiveness, and it's still good advice, 3 years later. "My TICONDAAAAAASSSS"
Paul, as a non-native english speaker i find you and your Shattner-esque pauses and general speach pattern very easy to follow and understand.
Also a non native english speaker. And I agree completely. I can follow and undestand you with ease without having to resort to subtitles or any kind of aid.
Me also the same.
He is as easy to follow as anyone, could be a politician, lol. I think earier in his life he wasn't as easy to understand, partially adding to his ability to now orate near perfectly. he practiced.
Agreed, S L.
He mentioned having been an instructor, so that´s why, probably.
I'm still waiting for "Kaaaaaaaahhhhnnn!"
The only defensive ammo I will use in my carry gun is Hirtenberger Buscadero Ticondas. Though, since my carry gun is a Singer 1911, it’s really too valuable to carry. I prefer to keep it locked up in my safe. Of course, since my safe is an antique Mosler Firejacket Cannonball safe, I have it buried in the backyard. Under concrete.
you do keep it cocked and locked tho right? otherwise no point owning the weapon.
Well, of course.
You may have to replace the mainspring one day.
Fudmottin As long as I never fire it, the mainspring will never “cycle”, so I’ll be fine.
When you do carry did you opt for the $5 generic nylon holster?
Paul, for the love of god, I AM NOT BORED WHEN YOU TELL STORIES ABOUT JOE NOT WANTING TO SHOOT HIS TIKAAAAAAANDAHHHHHS!!! I am not going to tell you again.
Same! Got your comment to 80!
I don't even own a gun (as a matter of fact guns are hard to come by in my country), but I still find this guys videos interesting. Very humble guy sharing a huge amount of knowledge
Paul is a freaking American treasure!!! The best firearms channel on YT.
True Words.

Absolutely one of the best. In the top two.
He's definitely one of the best channels on YT. I think that another really top-notch one is Sage Dynamics, if you're into the real nitty-gritty of firearms usage.
As a 15-year Army instructor, I have to again say, "BRAVISSIMA!"
There is a lot of good gun content on CZcams, but none better than Paul's. Every one of them is well thought-out and presented and, more importantly, when he does present his opinion, he does an excellent job of explaining how he arrived at that opinion.
Agreed!
We are in the presence of greatness !!
I'm pretty shure it's "bravissimo". That said, I agree with your comment 100%
Satiro, yours is the comment of a Gamma. See: czcams.com/video/1Ua2XnYlm-o/video.html
Jesus, this is probably one of the greatest CZcams channels of all time.
very much so
Agreed
Quite right, along with the Sensus Fidelium channel.
I know Paul can't see this anymore...but I have learned so much from him over the years. Even before I got my first gun (a berreta 92fs) I was learning from him. Got a bit of a head start on the learning curve.
Ive definitely made the mistake of buying T I C O D A S and them being my "precious." I have since made the smart decision to switch to 124 grain +p Federal HST, Hornady Critical Duty, Winchester Defender, and Speer Gold Dot. They all have the same POI and function the same. More importantly, they're not T I C O N D A S.
Does this remind anyone else of Chris Rock's bit on gun control? "I'd put a cap in yo a%% right now! If wasn't so damned expensive!"
I’ve been waiting for someone to refer to Rock’s stand up on bullet control..funny then…waaay too true now
I've never noticed any of your "speaking issues". When the content is good it overshadows any minor oddities.
same, didnt notice them until he pointed them out after watching most of his library
Every time he brings them up I scratch my head wondering what the hell are some people hearing.
Corwin: Perhaps the kind of guys who don't wear ear plugs or ear muffs on the range because it is "unmanly"? They are bound to have hearing issues . . .
Thomas: Are you referring to those that hear his speaking issues or those, like myself, who don't? I haven't been to a range in about a decade and was a stickler for using hearing protection when I was going (heck, whenever I go someplace I know will be loud I bring hearing protection of some sort).
Corwin: I was trying to point my fingers at the less coherent part of humanity, that apparently thinks that safety is for pussies . . .
Failed I have. Better words I should use. Oh, sorry. Wrong franchise.
I wish you wouldnt even waste time defending yourself. I was a fan 39 seconds into your first video and just chooching through all of them as long as i can. Im a 20 something, young buck if you will, and i just like the fatherly like tone you have when you give advice. Im here to learn, and those that wanna be keyboard JTF SF bad boys can click out and go on to the next video. Keep them coming, my generation needs more guys like you bringing common sense and a bit of extra dry humor into the mix.
The warning is part of who he is, including putting away those objections people have before they even bring them up. He covers his bases.
Young buck? Sound more like a young Fudd to me...
Paul, among other things, is an orator.
Rarely people watch 30+ mins videos without pauses or getting bored. Paul's videos are an exception.
I really hope he was able to read this. I couldn’t agree more myself.
"and yes, you can still see me!" THESE little interjections make your presentations SO much more enjoyable that others. Best gun channel ever!!
Yeah, I rarely laugh so hard as I did at that comment! Loved it!!!
Wouldn't care if you spoke for two hours, I would sit through every second because I know I would be getting some excellent knowledge and insight.

The only thing I can't understand is how many things you can fit in your jacket without printing.
10 more than you think. Maybe 11, or even 12. Per pocket.

That's because you're not looking at his pockets, you're lost in his eyes.
Where and how much for a jacket of holding?

Just another excellent, well prepped and cogent presentation from this guy. I'm a Marine from back in the days of the Southeast Asian war games, plus a 20-year badge here on the east coast. I like to think that I know the difference between BS and the real thing, and Paul Harrell is the real thing. I've known how to shoot and handle firearms all my life. Then, a few years ago I went to Front Sight in the Nevada desert to really learn how to handle a firearm. These days, when I want to learn something regarding a particular or specific subject matter, such as this one about hyper ammo, I just look for Paul's presentation on it. He's well-learned, well-spoken, acknowledges counter-points while sticking to his point, and delivers the information in a manner that holds the listener's attention. All of those things about him will keep me coming back.

"Radically Invasive Projectile - sounds like the title to a porno movie." I lol'd for a while on that one
i laughed out loud literally at that as well.
You never know what Paul is going to pull out of his jacket.
Personally, I am waiting for a live rabbit or a parrot, but a Bugs Bunny doll would be just a good.
As a newish shooter you sir have possibly saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars in my future shooting life span . My hats off to you . And a fuller pocket and happier man says thank you !
Newish or Jewish? Could have been a typo...
As a Jewish shooter, I'd say it works either way
I would look at as more cash to shoot more and more often!
Woohoo, New Paul Harrel video. Today is a good day!
hell yeah matteo!
Paul is the voice of reason among the gun channel personalities. Ordinary guns in traditional calibers are reliable, effective and not boring at all. There are so many choices and they get the job done.
You told trolls they should watch Romper Room. YOU ROCK! Keep up the FANTASTIC and INFORMATIVE videos. Thankyou!
steve kim that’s a good name, well picked.
"The only person who can decide what's right for you is you." That's why I LOVE this channel!
You might as well as him out on a date at this point. Go to bed, Fudd.
@@ibanezbtb91 Go back to Reddit wipper snapper
@@ibanezbtb91 That was weak. I love this channel because it's actually trying to teach people something useful. It ain't my fault you'll never be anywhere near as good.
Am I wrong or is Paul Harrell the nicest badass on the planet. Thanks for expert information. My best friends dad retired from the marines(recon). He also is a pistol and rifle expert with the same medals I seen of yours in the introductions. Learned a lot from him and you to Mr. Harrell thanks.
He's up there, but when it comes to looks, the most nice guy looking badass is definetly Mike "Honey I shrunk the kids" Vining. O.G. Delta Operator.
Been binge watching your videos since I discovered the channel. I really, really like how you present points. Eloquence and logic, you don't come across as talking down to people. You're a natural educator with a touch of humor to keep it fresh.
Regarding fancy ammo, personally I just carry "basic AF" Remington green/white box .40 S&W 180gr JHP. It goes where I point it and puts holes in things, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg so I have no problems cycling out a magazine of it every time I go to the range; thus my carry ammo is always super fresh, too.
As a retired career Police Officer and Criminal Investigator, hunter, and just an old dude that is prepared to defend myself and The Lovely Bride, as well as innocent bystanders/victims should the need arise....I 100% agree with every point you make in this video. Well done! Well done indeed!!!!
Hi, I'm Jeff and I'm a precious-aholic. I have 25 year old Glazer safety rounds that I always put back in my main mag. I am going to cycle them out immediately! Thanks for setting me straight.
Retired trial lawyer here (but limited criminal experience). I am NEVER impressed by the response to an argument that "I can beat that point in court." As I told my clients bazillions of times, our objective is that you NEVER go to court. You want whatever it is you are doing to be so unobjectionable that no one ever sues you, that the IRS never objects to the deduction, that the regulatory agency never cites you, or you never get arrested.
By the same token, I agree with you absolutely that you want your gun and ammo choices to be "totally ho hum." If I ever have to shoot someone, I want to be "that old fart who shot the burglar with that S&W 9 mil he inherited from his dad with generic ammo. Clearly, he wasn't looking for trouble. Trouble came looking for him."
H. Paul Honsinger HEY! HEY! HEY! Be careful with those old fart comments! I'll sue you for "Defamatory Per se"😀😀😀
Good points, everyone online thinks they are a lawyer. The joke is ultimately on them when they have legal trouble because they didnt have the first clue about anything. Even if they ARE correct in their knowledge about the law, they expect the court system to be a perfectly impartial place with no human element.
I always caution people to think about their "Jury Pool". A gun/ammo combination that would be fine in Topeka, Kansas might send you to prison in San Francisco.
Outstanding observation. In San Francisco, I'd probably shoot lead round nose ammo or something else from the late 1880s, and I'd carry a wheel gun. Assuming that I'd live in that cesspool of left-wing insanity. Which I wouldn't.
Thanks. You'd be amazed at the number of people who insist upon arguing the law with me, even though they have never been within shouting distance of a law school or even done any serious self-study on the subject. It's possible to make yourself an expert on something without formal study, of course. I'm old enough to have gone to court against attorneys who were allowed to take the bar after "reading the law," without a law degree, and some of those old codgers knew the law as well as I did. I'm a published military science fiction author and I never took a class on fiction writing, nor done much in the way of formal study of astronomy or space science. BUT--most "Comment Column Counsel" as I call them think a prescriptive easement is a drug you can buy over the counter.
I can’t agree more with topic #7. Eight years LEO and 20 years Dept of Correction I’ve never had to draw my firearm but I have been involved in a number of various criminal trials up to and including murder. It fascinates me when I watch various videos or read posts in 2A forums as to some of the comments, questions and statements made by individuals that are well spoken but lack necessary training and experience.
Now retired and working armed security I had a new guy, no LEO or Military training report for his first shift. I introduced myself and offered to show him around. His response “I’m tactically trained to identify the threat and take it out.” Now mind you we are working in a hospital. My response “CZcams Video Training Doesn’t Count.”
I really enjoy you videos and respect the fact that unlike most CZcams videos you are keeping it real.
I also worked armed security after my military time. I work in healthcare now but that story really brought back some memories 😂 Security really brings the top and bottom of the barrel together.
You're one of the only firearm channels that never makes me roll my eyes or sigh. Thank you.
This right here is the truth!
I'm so old that I remember that intermission song from the drive-in theater.

Hirtenberger was an Austrian Ammomaker who was bought few Years ago by Swiss Company RUAG.
My general rule of thumb with handgun ammo: if it doesn't readily come in boxes of 50, I don't shoot it.
We will load Hornady or Gold Dots in our revolvers, the brands aren't overly exotic...we don't carry our autos, they fed a steady diet of fmj...

Hi. per. ammo
Hyper ammo
OH MY GOD!
Add: Hype Our Ammo
@@Salieri47 Hi Point Ammo lol is next
High $ per ammo
I had my carry ammo for about 2 years or so. It was often left in my car as well as carried in hot humid south Florida weather. When I decided you shoot and replace it I was horrified to find the first two rounds in the gun did not fire. Thankfully the other 14 rounds work fine.
Do your self a favor shoot and replace you carry ammo once of even twice a year, especially if you live in a humid or otherwise adverse environments.
Great advice. Shoot off your ammo every 3 months or so. Hence why I bought really cheap hollow points (that work well) in bulk.
"Joe and the Hurtenberger Buskadaro Ticondas" - great band name. I'd buy a t-shirt.
What made me laugh aloud in this video:
“TicAaAAaaAaAndas~”
“‘Radical Invasive Projectile’? That sounds like a porno movie”
And that intermission really got me craving popcorn.

Don't ever change we love you
It's funny how some things never change I've run into everything you covered in this video including but not limited to the following. 30 some years ago I got into a fight while legally carrying, the cops asked me(I refused to talk to them but that didn't stop their questions) why are you carrying two revolvers and speed loaders, these gun have been modified haven't they(Magna-Ported, sights, grips, action job), why are you using hollow points(one cop thought HP ammo was "designed to go through a police officers vest" the other thought they exploded. My attorney thought the things I mentioned influenced how my case was handled, it dragged on for 15 months cost me $30,000. I was suspended from college and work(I worked for a security company) and people I thought were friends would not associate with me because " you got arrested for shooting someone they wouldn't do that if you weren't guilty of something". So yes this kind of stuff happens, carry a bone stock gun(if you want one optioned out buy one that comes that way) carry high quality but common ammo and for Crist sake don't have skulls painted on it or dressed up with "tacti-cool crap to make it "look real mean". And remember the police don't know you and they lie incessantly, other than name and address say nothing but "I am invoking my right to remain silent and be represented by an attorney" and stick to that or you will regret it.
This right here is unfortunately the take away that everyone should understand. Name, Address, Lawyer Present, Remain Silent.
The police don't lie, their on your side
Very true , but its not uncommon for LEO to be guilty of the same thing your being accused of. And mentioning attorney I`ve heard some LEO do some serious whailing over some one having CCW insurance I mean like its some kind of crime or something.
@@thor69240 yes i was joking
What state were you in when the incident occurred, if you don't mind me asking?
I'm new to Paul's channel and I must say that I enjoy his calm demeanor and practical demonstrations, it is breath of fresh air compared to some of the more "amped" up firearms channels.
That's the truth. He just sticks to the facts, which is awesome and his videos are information-dense.
He’s easy to listen to, educated, informed, and best of all, he’s not full of himself. Hats off to you Paul. 🧢
I love his videos and this one makes me feel better about not jumping the hyper bandwagon.
Paul, you are correct. There are certain hyper ammo’s that I specifically buy for specific purposes, specifically gas checked hardcast flat nose ammo for woods carry in my .40 s&w due to superior penetration to a hollow point. But when it comes to standard HD ammo, I buy the standard 50 round Winchester white box 180 grain JHP’s, they expand just as good as any hyper hollow point and penetrate reliably, they never jam, and cost the same for 50 as the hyper ammo does for 20. And if I’m at the range practicing, I buy inexpensive FMJ’s.
Wow color me guilty... This is the same type conversation I had with my friend about how he should stick to his carry 9mm because its what we both go practice with all the time, Since he thought he had to have a minimum .45 for the "stopping power". However never shot his .45 much because cost for him was too high. Now im sitting here thinking im an idiot because I carry "hyper ammo" (also guilty of "precious" and not many rounds tested) and thinking well if it happens I need "Stopping Power. This is why I like your channel make me rethink my own opinions on good practice.
Thomas Beshaw Unless you’re willing to pony up the cost to practice and maintain proficiency with your favorite carry superhero ticonda thingamajigs you should never carry it. This I think is the take home message and I appreciate it !
Hyper ammo sucks because they are like 75 gr. Bullshit 9mm. 45acp plus p is 185gr is hyper ammo
I run Hornady American Gunner 9mm 124 grain +p XTP. It's on the cheaper end for hyper ammo around 60 cents per round so it doesn't have the precious factor to me. I don't really shoot it much, only a couple times a year, but it doesn't work much differently than Winchester white box 124 grain FMJ for me.
No Paul, please I need 30 minutes of you talking about Joe's Tycondas, make it happen
I have 3 different types of .45 right now. I'm going to fire off all others except, for ones I use at the range from now on. Get very good, and shoot only with a single brand, a specific one. Become consistent, and accurate, and stick only with that one. Thank you Paul for sharing this knowledge.
Too much is made of that, the skills you develope at the range do not depend on POI. People must be smarter than that.
Really want to do something productive, start shooting off handed
RIP Paul. You will be missed

Would have been great to see Paul sipping on a soda and eating popcorn when the camera came back after the intermission.
And the soda has got to be Shasta...
Paul- “so if you’ve watched this presentation til the end...”
Me- oh, is it over already?
"Precious" = too expensive to practice with......great point!! I was pondering this lately. Different ammo turns your gun into a different gun. "Never go to war with an unproven gun!"
Personally, my own inexpert opinion is to buy at least 100 more rounds than you want for your carry and changeout right off the get-go, and make sure it friggin' works. If you can't afford that, carry ball. I'd rather have a round that goes off and does somewhat less damage, than a death ray that doesn't actually go bang when I need it to.
Our testing shows that the new M-16 is self-cleaning!
Every fire arm I own has an ammo it shoots best. It's kind of fun figuring that out. Once I get to that point, I practice with it as much as I can. Yes sometimes it's the little more expansive but I"m not talking about the weird stuff. I stay away from the RIP or Zombie Killer type ammo.
@@keithdaniels1994 And conversely, every autoloader has an ammo that totally jams it. That's why I sold my 2 .45's and went back to Ruger wheel guns.
The aimpoint may vary slightly from one brand of ammo to another, but every time I pull the trigger now - it goes bang!
@@keithdaniels1994 Couldn't agree more. I had a .45 that liked some ammo and didn't like others. Some were more accurate and some less so.
I stay away from any ammo that has a name like RIP, or anything that's supposed to sound "ominous". I read an article years ago in a gun magazine written by a defense attorney. He said never use that kind of ammo or a gun that has a name like "devastator" or "pit-bull" because it give the wrong impression in court if you ever have to use it and have to testify. He went on to say, "find out what kind of pistol your local police, sheriff's or state patrol/police carry and use that....it looks better in court. I know what Paul said about criminal profilers etc...but carrying the same weapon and using somewhat the same ammo is a far cry from having "lots" of law enforcement gear, so that would be easier to explain than RIP ammo coming out of a gun named "Enforcer" . And never use reloads (that you loaded yourself) for defense because it could give a jury the impression that you were hoping for the chance to use it and you made a special "batch" just for that occasion. Remember, juries are people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty......don't put your freedom in their hands...
