Hey everyone, we had a camera snafu at the last second, so the vid was cut short. You didn't miss anything.
I've been cheated out of your catchphrase! I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Is that why the video and audio are slightly out of sync? (It's not enough of a desync to make a difference, don't worry.)
I thought it was hilarious.
Missing even a second of Paul Harrell is missing something!
Paul, thoughts on the Masterkey?
My wife heard Paul's opening theme song and said "That sounds like porn."
I said "It is."
Nice
Duh LOL!
it is
😂😂😂
Gun porn!
Two Paul Harrell videos in one day?
Didn't realize it was Christmas already.
Good catch! I didn't even think about Christmas. I thought the virus had infected the space/time continuum.
Hahaha 😂🤣 awesome thought thank you 😁
eeeh, easter is close enough, no?
I think the shutdown has the office he works out shut down so hopefully we will be seeing many new videos from him in the coming weeks. If nothing else can go right right now at least we get knowledge bombs dropped from Paul Harrell!
Fun Fact: During the kneeling reload, Paul is actually hand reloading the rounds using the brass and lead from the rounds he fired from the first mag. Paul call this his “Circle of Life”.
There’s a good saying, reload when you want to not when you have too
I did that often in Iraq. If I felt I was close to that 30th round, I'd conduct a reload if there was a break in the contact or if someone else on my Team had the fight for a second. Sometimes I'd have a few mags in my carrier that were partial mags, so when there was a long break in the action, I'd consolidate a few of those mags to make full mags again. Like you said, I did those type of things when I wanted to or had the opportunity. I never wanted to wait until I had to scramble around looking for a full mag or search the ground around me for some stray bullets.
On that note about stray bullets on the ground. One time I had a Soldier ask me if he should pick up the rounds he found on the ground and load them in his mags. I told him they were there for a reason so just leave them alone. If things got really bad and those were the last ones we had, then yes, use them, but until then, leave them alone.
New subscribers that are stuck at home, binge watch this channel and get caught up. Even Paul's long winded videos are worth every second.
I'll second that statement :)
I did that last year when I was out of work for 3 months with Achilles tendinitis.
Ive been doing just that, and I concur.
i did that when i found the channel. i was working at walmart and every night at lunch i would eat my lunch and watch his videos the entire time.
Very true thank you 😁
Boy if I ever had the chance a 1911 class taught by Paul would be an experience like no other
Tadicuslegion78 Just watch Paul’s videos, new and old
Tadicuslegion78 paul needs to learn the proper hold for a 1911 to control recoil, he’s shooting it weaver stance and revolver hold like its 1975
Charlie B He is a former military firearms instructor. You need to like him for what he brings to the table and not try to change him. I can appreciate his style and watch other people for a different point of view and make my own mind up. Wait, didn’t he just say that?
The proper 1911 hold ?? I think his hold works damn fine for him.
@@arizonaoutdoorman1907 not only does it work good for him. I'm pretty sure he doesn't need to conform to the latest and greatest modern ways. Theres a video he does on stance explaining that hes sticking with the weaver. It's what he mastered. I love that he's set in his ways. His credentials and tact are solid, just like the opposing forces of the old school weaver. Go paul! I like the new school too. Just dont try thumbs forward grip on a big bore revolver without gloves on. Or you'll have black thumbs like Caleb's in his thumbs forward for revolver video. Sorry for the short story.🤟🤪
"Dink Around" I thought I was the last one to use that phrase. Great presentation
Adam Butler. Love it! I use that phrase a lot.
"Don't be a dink. No one is exactly sure what a dink actually is, but it's clear that you never want to BE one!"
- Bob Marley, comedian
I've watched dozens of gun videos about how people "hate having a gun that won't fire w/out a mag in it," but no one ever explained why they hated such a safety. ...Three months later I've just now learned that it's because you might want to fire that final bullet as you reach for a new mag - thanks Paul.
Eric Bergfield That same magazine disconnect feature also helps alleviate a lot of negligent discharges by new gun owners. A lot of pistols require that you pull the trigger, before disassembly. Many new gun owners will remove the mag, and not realize that there still might be a round in the chamber. Lack of experience causes this mistake to happen quite often. But, I agree. I prefer guns without that feature. What if someone is trying to wrestle the gun from your hand, and they engage the mag release button? You're then stuck holding a small hammer. lol
@@jamiesloan5902 then it's hammer time.
Paul even makes bobbling and dropping a full mag look badass.
Kinda cool:)
lmao haha so true

video suggestion: how to shoot with one hand properly and control recoil etc.
Excellent suggestion.
Just shoot like the gangstas in Chicago 🦧

@@COIcultist little of column A, little of column B. Most likely not due to proper grip and recoil control on the pistols though, probably more because of their 'accuracy by volume' mentality.

The saddest words a Paul fan can hear... "so, as always, don't..."
Until next time 😌
I've been watching Paul for about 3 years.. I think he only had like 50 thousand subscribers at the time if that. Kept thinking to myself this is the best gun Channel on CZcams.. happy to see he's finally getting recognized
same here. found the channel around 50-60k subs, LOVED his content and have promoted it every chance i get. this man is the real deal. and hes just a few miles south of me, would be amazing to go to the range with him some day.
Yep been about three for me and any body I come across asking me for information cause to my friends I'm the gun guy. I don't act like I came up with my knowledge on my own I tell them I got most of what I would consider worth sharing from the master mister Paul Harrel. And send them to his channel to watch his videos.
Also many time people ask me how and where I learned all of what little I no about firearms ect and I tell them you tube and the laugh and almost every time say "you cant learn how to shoot better from youtube" then I laugh and turn and out shoot every one of them and say . Paul Harrell is to thank for that. . . Amoung many other very informative people on you tube. I'm alot better with a pistol from warrior poet society as well. They come back weeks later and are 10 times better.
@@brianbrown4303 my shooting has been all self taught, i have a few shitty videos on my channel, but that was all me before i started watching PH. however, i do know a lot more now because of this channel and i absolutely respect paul harrell.
Yes
To the 20,000 new subs, welcome. Enjoy the non bias tested info. Not regurgitated crap from paid for CZcams "operators".
Been shooting 1911s for 40 years. I like the way you think, and operate.
I've been shooting 1911s longer than you have been alive buddy.
@@ShinMadero no you havent.
40 years and you’re probably still trash at shooting
@@Isometrix116 they're 12 year old kids trying to look/sound cool
aiden woods you don’t know me and I’ve probably shot more at IPSC matches than you have shot. So excuse me I’m off to the range you sit at your keyboard and troll.
Being a 1911 fan, THANKS for the INFORMATION!
I like the subtle example of counting his rounds at 8:21.
well the mag he grabbed was only loaded for 2 shots so not so impressive but i get the gist of the intent behind that demonstration. the more impressive thing is he knew which mag to grab out of his coat pocket basically blind.
One thing I noticed from the presentation that I have not considered before: “magazine safeties” ie some firearms won’t fire without a mag in.
I used to think this was just an unnecessary redundancy, but now I realize that if I have to fire my weapon while doing a tactical reload it won’t fire.
Thanks for the presentation Paul, I’ve learned a lot!
I know this can be construed as nitpicky, but the presence of a magazine safety severely dampens my desire to own a specifc firearm for that very reason. I dont mind grip safeties, but mag safeties are a no-no, as are those blasted glock-style trigger widgets.
@@wesleygay8918 There is a reason for the longlivety of the 1911 platform.... It is a good system that still is relevant.
Wesley Gay I completely agree, I don’t think it’s nitpicking at all. Risk management involves two factors, the likelihood of a negative event and the consequences of a negative event. If the consequence is very high (in this case death) than a risk can be unacceptable even if the likelihood is very low. I now see magazine safety as a risk I’m not willing to accept.
As far as the grip safety, I once had a police officer tell me a story where a suspect was able to disarm him, and attempted to shoot him with his own firearm, but was unable to because he didn’t know how to operate the grip safety. It wasn’t a 1911 in the story but still something to consider.
Any particular reason you don’t like the glock style trigger safeties?
@@wesleygay8918 I must say I am not a Glock fan but if, for whatever reason, concealed carry was a thing, I found WarriorPoet's explanation of the situation very helpful... I'd certainly forget a manual safety in a stressful situation so carrying a Glock in a proper holster seems to be a good balance of carrying safety while having the thing ready to go if you need it.
I'm Swiss though, so chances that I'll ever carry legally are zilch; so what do I know?
@@borismarkov1141 I've heard of many incidents in which an officer's life was saved because of an additional safety, but I have also seen plenty of tests in which people picked up an unknown gun to fire it and were able to do so quickly enough that for me...it's not enough of a safety feature. There certainly are plenty of people unfamiliar enough with guns to not even recognize a safety lever let alone how to disengage it, but do you really want to rely upon that to ensure your own safety should your gun get away from you versus being able to fire while the magazine is out, should you need to?
Been using the method of reloading before the slide lock for years and I totally agree with that method. Having a round that you can fire if needed is much better than a slide that's locked back and no round to fire when you might need it
I also like that method/idea...however, aren't there a number of handguns where they won't fire w/o a mag inserted/seated??
Two Paul Harrell videos in one day! Finally, something worth quarantining for! 😁👍
What’s a quarrentine? I worked overtime through the plandemic
Clear, concise, and practical information on CZcams? Absolutely fantastic!
I am a retired college dean and spent 100s of hundreds of hours observing teachers over the years. From that experience I can tell you that Paul Harrell is as good as it gets when it comes to firearm instruction and information. No excessive verbage, justly clearing stated and relevant information based on a wealth of experience. If you are one of those 20.000 new subscribers I urge you to watch everything that has the name Paul Harrell attached to it. You will be better off for it. When Paul shoots a gun on camera it is for an instructional reason. His videos are packed end to end with relevant information. Keep up the good work Paul!
Good points and I agree w/everything here. My experiences were w/my issued .38, I had to reload under fire in ‘74 & I knew when it was empty before clicking on an empty chamber. It was likely b/c counting to six was drilled into me over several yrs of police range training, AND fear is a powerful motivator.
Paul the only thing I'll suggest is this: ensure your tactical reloads DON'T go where you store your full mags go. You don't need 4 or less shots expecting 7 or 8.
Dustywitch, if you pay attention, he does not put partials in the same pocket as full ones. I’m sure that during his many years as a fire arm instructor in the military he taught exactly what you are commenting. Great point though. It’s also taught to put the mags the opposite direction in a holster if there are rounds left..
@@ryanwilson5222 I'm not saying for his benefit but for those out there who may be watching for some advice and not knowing it. I'm certain Paul didn't do that himself, hell the man pulls out boxes of ammo with the correct side showing for the camera without looking each and every time, HE knows, but some of the newer viewers may not realize.
Dustywitch while it is always a good idea to keep partial loaded magazines separate from fully loaded ones. And you make an excellent point and Paul probably should have meantime’s it in is presentation. A partially load magazine, 3-5 rounds, is better than no magazine where you normally keep them. In my years of shooting, when I get partial loaded magazines mixed up with full magazines and my slide locks back. I simply perform a speed reload
@@ryanwilson5222 Are you me or am I you? If I am not me, who am I?
@@ryanwilson5301 You are serendipitous
What I like about Paul's presentations is the plainly stated facts without any hype.
Nothing would make me happier than another 1+ hour Paul Harrell video
Did you see the re-released 2019 Thanksgiving Special?
I feel like he always has a target downrange even when it isn’t shown and that he is always hitting it anyway
In his video about .22lr reliability, in which he shoots hundreds (or maybe even thousands, don't remember) rounds of .22lr, he also seems to always aim at the same spot, instead of just "spraying"
Nothing but clover leafs, and he’s not even looking downrange most of the time! 😄
I think he missed once, just to see how it felt.
If you listen, I've noticed pings after him pulling the trigger, even when he's firing while looking at the camera.
Ross Jackson
Paul has a secret side business where he bullet-carves statues and other ornaments during these videos.
Tried to focus on not letting the slide lock back today at the range and it was harder than I thought it would be 😅 I subconsciously count my rounds but I also subconsciously fire the last round 😅
Me too. When I get to the last one it's like I get it out of the way so I can reload.
I never thought about it. I've never used a gun for anything other than recreational shooting so it never crossed my mind since I was thinking "well I put the bullet in the gun to shoot it, why would I wait or keep it?"
Different strokes
Dude same here. *1,2,3,4,5,6,7,pop DAMN IT! every time 😂
I just fire til empty. I also overhand rack the slide every time, because it's muscle memory for a misfire/malfunction. I don't trust myself to handle a chaotic situation like an operator so best to stick with a consistent training regime.
Andrew Vo , I understand where that could be hard to overcome. Is there some way that you could remind yourself? Would it be feasible to put in a round with a different load in the second from the last spot? This is a reach, but put a thick rubber band, the kind that come with produce, on your wrist and snap it every time that you forget? Just a couple random thoughts. Thanks.
I’ve found that in high stress shooting scenarios I can only count to three. Those darn duck hunting regulations.....
I find those regulations to be more like suggestion since my duck hunting gun also doubles as my skeet, 3-gun, gun that holds 12 rds
@@jonjames4281 Smells like felonious behavior in here 😂
Paul, this is one reason why I like your videos. You will stop and make things clear and consistent to your viewers. Thanks for all you do.
Wow... the Grandfather of CZcams Guns (4.9M+ Sub) has just recommended that people look at the fine work that Paul Harrell (Mr. Godfather) has produced!!!
I am PROUD to be subscribed to both, Hickok45 and THIS Channel.
Two Paul Harrell vidyas in one day? This is the highlight of 2020
When push comes to gun, there is no more informative gun channel than this.
Trust me I know, well at least I think I do
Those Without Arms Cannot Defend Freedom
love the dry humor with direct no nonsense information. Been shooting for a number of years, yet always glean something new.
Really, REALLY enjoyed this video, Paul. I have my dad’s old 1911 .45 (accepted by the US Army Feb 1918), have fired it (now retired and vaulted), qualified on similar in the USCG in 1985,... this firearm has always had a place in my heart along with its place in history. It’s a classic, enjoyed seeing a pro handling one.
I really hope Everyone realizes just how much patience Paul has. He goes over things that he has covered 5 or 6 times before and he does it with a grace and a lack of condescension. It would be so easy for him to ridicule the audience for not understanding, or not listening, or not doing their research and he would be well within his rights to do so. I feel like a lot of these topics that he covers are a result of people opening their mouth before they think, yet he handles it without an unkind word and takes time out of his life to recover that particular subject yet again.
Jon Turn , don’t take this wrong, but that’s his job. If his number of subscribers never changed and everyone saw all of his videos then yes he probably wouldn’t have to rehash points or terms made in previous videos. Also, I bet that at least once in his military career he explained why one should never “assume” to a wayward E-3. Being a new subscriber to Paul and returning to shooting after a lengthy hiatus I appreciate the time he takes to explain what probably is to many an obvious point.
He’s a well prepped instructor and excels at what he does, but if he does get to that point where he tires of reiterating points from previous videos then it’s probably time to move on to making more dental hygiene videos. Thanks.
@@281load No I definitely agree with you. I was more talking to the people that like to whine about him covering the same topic over and over. All I'm really saying is the fact that Paul doesn't make a fuss about redoing the same topic is a bit of a rare thing in this day and age and some people ( not you!) need to realize this.
Maybe the people who think they know more about it than paul, should watch the video twice to make sure they got his point.
@Jon Tee he is the best that I've seen on youtube. No muss, no fuss. He just covers the topic presented.
Wow, two videos to watch, uploaded at the same time. I'm all set for almost the next hour! Thanks! *:-D*
Mr. H., I appreciate the caveat that your demonstrations are not meant to be tutorials. I may write on behalf of a large number of subscribers in understanding that you have received training (much of it quite advanced) from some of the finest combat shooters in the world- U.S. Marines and Army soldiers. You demonstrate methods that have been well proven and utilized by those specialists and relate the reasoning and practice of such concisely. Thank you for passing along the knowledge and experience you have gained from being a student of gun handling from those that have served our country to those of us that will never be in that league of experts.
Finally, someone on youtube who explains things well! Thank you sir!
Good Guy Paul making tutorials for people who were anti-2A just a couple of months ago, but have suddenly recognized its utility to the average citizen.
Disenfranchised Liberal With no snarky remarks, no I told you so, no bs. Just “welcome, here’s the scoop; stay safe.” Good guy Paul

Glad to see we share Paul's dry sense of humor. At least Paul occasionally compensates by soaking the GoPros with ruptured soda jugs, and even doing his videos in the rain.😏
I have been wanting this video forever. If I were to make a channel, a very similar video would have been on the short list. Happy to finally see someone make it.
Paul's presentations are so detailed, that I pay attention to every word. At 4:04 in the video, he said "slide the lock back" instead of, "lock the slide back". I'm not trying to point out an unimportant error, that's what wife's are for. The part that made me go back and rewatch that part of the video was the weird feeling in the back of my mind, "did Paul really say what I thought he said?" It kinda feels like finding the preverbial needle in the preverbial haystack.
I said, "The slide will lock back."
Paul " it would be a treat too see you and " Karl from Tactical Rifle Man on his Tactical Tuesday on the range ! That would be Auesum " !
Never heard of that guy.

Goddamn, Paul, I love these videos. Your practical epistemology is luminous and transcendent. Also, when you say, “Nothing I say should be inferred as a tutorial.” it would be more grammatically correct, I believe, to say, “Nothing I say should be construed as a tutorial.” Wouldn’t have mentioned it if I didn’t think you’d appreciate the distinction. Carry on, please!

Seriously, when I watched that at Thanksgiving that year, I was disappointed that I wasn't having ham 'n yam instead.
Is it me or does the sound of that gun make you drool for when the ranges are open again and the wait time to get ammo won't be two months out. My gun and ammo wishlist is getting kind of long now.
Can't wait... I'm chomping at the bit
My condolences to those who live in cities, ill fire a speedloader of .357 at my target out my backdoor in honor of you XD ( seriously tho, good luck man and hope it end quickly)
E L I'm very fortunate. I have the land, and the skill to have built my own shooting range(over 25 steel targets, and 5 paper target stands). Here's the problem... I haven't trained any lately because it feels foolish to waste ammo right now. I'm glad that my gun handling skills are already up to speed. I'm concerned for the brand new gun owners out there. It's kinda like buying your first set of golf clubs, and then expecting to shoot par your first time out on the course. Good luck...

Most people didn't realize that Paul dropped a charging bear at 5:05 while filming this video, with that one round left. He didn't add that part because he didn't want to make you feel inferior in some way.

You should do a presentation on magnum automatic pistols vs revolvers in the same cartridge.

The trigger’s center blade is easily depressed, and things like jacket drawstrings, other clothing obstructions, and fingers will easily allow the trigger to be actuated. Keeping it in its holster until needed, is “safe”. EDIT: Paul said the Glock’s trigger “safety” kept the pistol safe from accidental swipes, but that could give new owners a false sense of security.
Make it a point that they're meant to be kept in a good quality holster, too. GOOD. QUALITY. No cheap, bendy leather.

Or wimpy fabric. Back in my early shooting days I dropped a Glock in my jacket pocket and reached to get it and found my finger INSIDE the trigger guard. That was the last time I ever put a Glock in a pocket. That Glock and two others were traded for a Delta Elite.
Should we explain the 5 glock safties that all go away when you pull the trigger ??
Works just like my light switch... 5 ways to prevent the light going on... but they all go away when you click the switch.. wow what level of technology..
@@cayman9873 No, all you need to know is the two that matter.
-Firing Pin Block
-Trigger Blade
Oh, and to add: Don't fuck with the trigger weight. It's 6 pounds for a reason.
Frank Butta I’ve carried a Glock on duty and off duty since 1998 and I’ve never had a malfunction with them and no need for a thumb safety, when a bad guy pulls out a gun you have a split second to react and you don’t need to be messing with a thumb safety. I’ve owned 8-1911s and they were not reliable(many were super expensive). A Glock is a war fighting handgun used by a navy Seals, you keep finger off trigger until you need to kill someone that’s your safety.
Glad to hear your channel is growing. New shooters need a good reliable truth telling instructor, which Paul definitely is. I won't bother to tell anyone how many bad information and stupid practices videos there are on CZcams concerning firearms which will get unskilled shooters in trouble.
As always educational and entertaining. Thanks Paul.
Thanks for the 1911 fix Paul. Spot on. Someone commented your hands are massive, yes, they look like baseball gloves. Mine, medium at best. From the late 80’s -early 90’s IPSC, I use a Smith and Alexander Ambi mag release. It works well for me, competition or not. I’ve never inadvertently dropped a mag etc. Works in most leather holster and some Kydex, but check. S&A not around anymore but you can find them at Cylinder and Slide, Karl Lippard, BH Spring Solutions and Bulletworx. With minor fitting they work. I also swap the mag release on my plastic pistols. Not for everyone, but made me more efficient. Just food for thought. Man, I like me some Paul !!
I have a RIA Tactical model. The ACT mag that came with it broke within a week (split feed lips). I use Kimber Pro Tac mags now. Just my 2 cents.
those or Wilson Combat 8-rounders
I remember the "bad old days" of the '80s when you would buy 20 mags to find a half a dozen that worked in YOUR 1911. The mags really weren't that bad, it was just that specs between different guns of even the same MODEL were different enough that mags might be reliable in one pistol but NOT in another. There was a lot of "horse-trading" mags in many shooting circles. I remember the same thing being done in the Army with the old 30-rounders for the A1. You'd swap mags around until you got 8 mags (in our unit anyway) that ran reliably in YOUR A1 rifle. Then we got the new A2 and new Stanag (or for you older GIs STANO) NATO standardized 30-rounders and never swapped again. The new mags just worked.
Paul Harrel’s new and improved “SLIDE THE LOCK BACK” reload technique!
I don't see this as redundant for older subscribers I see it as a refresher.
This is why I keep coming back to Paul's videos. Good stuff 👍

I believe if you dislike a video, you should be obligated to defend your vote.
@Mark03 11 Thing is, none of this will give him anymore attention than what he has left. If anything, it's only going to lead to him losing more subs and getting more thumb-downs
@@StevenL00 He has about 4 Alts too.. so he's likely multi-boxing his dislikes, and pinning his own comments.
And one for each of his nuts... Please don't make fun of his medical problem.
Glock fan boys know they want a 1911
Why would I want a gun platform with less capacity?
Why choose?
Here we go.
I like 1911s a lot but not a fan of 45acp lol. I get people from both sides arguing with me often.
Probably a 1911 in 38 super is an excellent choice. :)
Immediately after writing a long winded comment asking why he doesnt like to lock the slide back, I hit play again and right away he goes into detail as to why. Lol guess I should shut up and watch the whole thing first huh. Great content as always!
paul you are the man, that being said i will offer this as to the un necessary feud we have suffered through, never argue with an idiot the listeners cant tell the difference, turn a deaf ear and continue bringing us your superior content, thanks stay healthy and god bless you and your family.
Question: who is Paul Harrell?More important:Why don't I see him on Outdoor Channel? He's A-list.
Thomas Middleswart Just subscribe and you can see all of his excellent videos.
Caleb be like:
“Paul Harrell doesn’t know anything about 1911’s”
Thank you for continuously making these videos. New subscribers is one thing, people acting like children is another.
Glad we’re getting over drama and back to guns! Love this channel. Always learning!
