ACW Sales Guys Meet the Guns of Blackhawk Down
It's a movie that most gun enthusiasts are more than familiar with. For some, the movie sparked their interest in firearms (like Nick). Regardless, it has some awesome action and awesome guns! Today, the ACW sales team is going to go through two very famous guns from the movie: the M14 and "Gordon Carbine".

ACW Sales Guys Shoot... LUGERS?
Переглядів 2,4 тис.19 годин тому
If the 1911 had an "arch nemesis", I think we can all agree, it would be the Luger. In the spirit of "know thy enemy", our *less than* Dynamic Duo went out and bought Lugers for themselves to better understand what it's like to be on the losing side of a World War. Stay tuned, as we have two "special appearance" Lugers that have unique histories all on their own. It's always .45 Friday here at ...

Eli, strangely enough, didn't have any of his Pocket Colt's with him, as his gun case for traveling to Te...

By the end of the Great War (the first time we kicked Germany’s ass), the Colt’s Model of 1911 was cemented into the history books as “America’s Gun”. Even as the revolver clung to popularity, the men who were forced to “live by the gun” soon realized the Colt’s .45 was THE premier choice in handguns. By this time, Colt had commercialized their automatic success, dubbed the “Government Model” t...

    I own some old colt revolvers, 1911’s, as well as some older s&w revolvers from the 60’s and 70’s with the exception of some muzzle wear from the leather holsters they ride in, they look fantastic. Grew up with blue and walnut guns and I guess I’m just old and set in my ways. But I take the extra step to keep them nice and when I order my new prime which will be soon I hope , it too will be a blue 5’ govt model.

    Milk shakes are amazing with strawberry winning... on guns tho? I simply want... a super high polish 5 inch government... with 'gasp' the government hammer! and in blue.. I would settle for the same thing in nickel.. in fact... would prefer that. would also settle for 45 acp but would like it in 38 super (just to ruin the 9 mm guys day even more) When I say 'government' that means 5" barrel and no messing with the hammer and no odd looking (but very modern) beavertail. Give me the 'useless' standard loooooow grip on the gun which oddly... works for me. what else works for me is the standard hammer that I can cock on the draw (duh) I know it is 'stylish' to carry cocked and locked but that is not how the gun was intended to be carried.

    Add the lanyard strap, place the lanyard over your off hand shoulder with the firing arm through the lanyard loop. Firing a Luger P08 with a lanyard is a push of the hand on the pistole and a tension pull of the lanyard against the body to create a "isometric" style hold maintaining the weapon on target during firing. This facilitates rapid recovery of the sight picture.

  • @robertseafield5810

    Good video. If you are handling a Luger, be aware that some have a safety that works different. So, work the lever and when a little piece comes up and blocks the sear, then it is on safe.

You can bet they are haunted by the Nazi officers that carried them and you can bet they were worn a lot and shot little. If it were not for the Walther Nazi P.38 most of the features on modern 9mm auto pistols today would not be there with due respect to the Browning Hi Power contributions. Thanks for sharing.

    The touchy - feely angst over the Dachau pistol was a little overdone but also kind of understandable. The fact that the current caretaker of these historic pistols allowed you guys to not just handle but also shoot that pistol is just outstanding. You guys just held significant history and were allowed to shoot a museum quality firearm. Congratulations! I do watch one of your videos now & then, and enjoy your 1911 content. This was a refreshingly different look at something very few of us get the chance to see, much less handle and shoot. Congratulations again on the fact that each of you managed to find and purchase original pre-WWII Lugers. I wish I could afford one myself.

That being said I want 4.25 instead of the defender size as I hear there’s issues with them but I do like the staccato cs as it hold more as it’s a double stack. Which should I choose??
