I need !!!
Glad you included the lockbox option in the discussion. I've seen many videos that unequivocally say never leave your gun in the car. If you're a government employee working in a correctional facility or courthouse, or your company has a "No Firearms" policy, you have no choice, other than to leave it home. Then queue in the "never leave your home unarmed" videos. And heaven help us if we have to go to the Post Office!🤦🏻
Yeah except it's not "completely modular" or at least Springfield Armory is not embracing it's completely modular features because and I quote "there are no plans at this time to sell slides on there own, if we decide to change that in the future they will be listed on the website" this of course was after a lengthy debate with one of their managers because I bought an echelon the first week it came out and was sold on the idea of it being a modular handgun, one that could save me money and space by not having to buy several handguns for several situations but one Central a operating Group with several loadouts. I just wanted to buy a compact slide for the compact grip module and magazines and recoil assembly I bought my wife for Xmas so that she could put her COG into a compact form because that's what she's been waiting for. Springfield flat out refused to sell me a slide even when I told them if that's the case we are selling our echelons to go with sig p320s because we thought we were investing in a truly modular handguns. Basically they didn't care they want you to buy more handguns. There are now 7 Echelon models available, and instead of being able to have one COG and 7 load outs, in order to utilize any of those other components your gonna end up buying 7 handguns and having 7 Central Operating Groups, that's just completely UNMODULAR. I don't know what they are thinking considering EVERY other company with a modular handgun has "customer freedom" in choosing how to build their pistol whole or in pieces and With Springfield you can't even buy a COG on its own . So if modular handguns was a race they would be in dead last going backwards, I'll be investing in the kriss kymera, as well as my wife and kissing the Echelon (which was my favorite pistol ever until this) goodbye. I can't give a company my money that doesn't care about customer satisfaction and would rather lose customers then to sell them a slide
Glock trigger msrp and availability??
SOS different day!
No modular p10c 🤦? No high capacity micro option? Nothing interesting like a 10mm p10? Like seriously why did cz even go to shot show when they have nothing interesting to show?
CZ have absolutely dropped the ball with the DWX. Dan Wesson are telling competitors using the gun to send the gun back to replace springs. In addition, you can’t get replacement parts!@&$ Many manufacturers are introducing similar (inferior in my opinion) 2011 concepts and leaving the DWX in the dust due to Dan Wesson’s antiquated Fudd attitude. If CZ doesn’t get their act together (moves HQ to anti gun Connecticut) they will absolutely destroy their base…
Been waiting on that target since first announced 🤤
Another disappointing year for cz
Yeah the cz ceo claimed that the new modular p10c was releasing in a few months a year ago. They literally gave us nothing.. Smith&Wesson is releasing aluminum sidearms instead of a proper 3.0, glock hasn't released a modern 6.0, no 10mm echelon, nothing good from walther, canik releases a fancy canik mc9 that has a 17 round grip instead of a 15 making it completely useless for concealed carry. These companies have gone downhill and they no longer make logical decisions.
CZ needs to make a Steel P-01 with all the trick stuff in a TS2O.
Did they say when this might be available to market?
Underwhelming... Hype announcments, and we got the extremely narrow niche gun for european bullseye competitions, a step back from p07 in terms of reliability, and a fde p10c.
They didn't even show the new modular p10c that they promised a year ago. Whoever is running cz is making horrible decisions. No one cares about something for targets or a colorful p10.
Bring one back!
Yet no optics on a target , competition, without the optics cut.🙄
I was hoping to see about the Bren BR or a micro P10
A high capacity micro option would make sense if cz thought logically. Unfortunately half of these companies don't think with logic. They didn't even put a decocker on the shadow 2 compact which is supposed to be for concealed carry. You basically have to risk blowing your foot off everytime you decide to unload it 😂.
Great guns though….
They seem a bit stodgy and late to the party with the latest features. Comps/ports??
Right and no FDE for CZ P-10F, I believe CZ has entered the "we only focus on what we sell a ton of realm". They seem less eager to make substantial changes like the current pioneer of the industry Smith and Wesson.
Wonder if the p10c will work with big hands and allow a good grip of the pistol?
🫤 still no optic ready 😢
Whats wrong with the sound
They ran into compatibility issues with the microphone they had. Sorry about that! 😐
Dude in the red jacked just couldn’t help himself 😂
I loved this idea until I realized it only works with short cases. I run deep cases with the rifles vertically, so there is no way this could work with my Pelican 2720 or anything else designed to have a 1" base foam and 4/6/8/10" of wall.
If leupold really wants to be a serious optics contender, instead of adding visual improvements, they need to address their durability and tracking issues... I trust China made optics to hold zero and track consistently more than I do a Leupold..
LOL. A 6” target model is just what I needed to get into Bianchi! That peanut butter p10c will be mine!!!!!!
I’m a 1911/2011 guy now as I have enough traditional pistols but the P10C has always interested me
Theres better options for that
@ for Bianchi? I’m sure that’s probably true. What are you thinking?
Yess.... ❤
Would the thermal pistol dot at the end work as an offset red dot with thermal capability on a rifle? Or does it require the thermal sensor to mount in the same orientation as the red dot?
This audio is atrocious
They ran into "technical issues" with the audio while recording. We apologize for that. 😞
Love how Mr and Mrs Warrior Poet stroll by at 0:57
Cool updates. Bring some warmer air back home Chris!
One of my top 3 favorite firearms for sure! 🔥
All 3 of you look down to reholster your weapon. You should be able to reholster without looking down to do so. This keeps your eyes up and scanning for possible threats... I understand you may not carry in this fashion everyday, if at all but it's also true of your EDC holster as well. Just remember to SLAM your thumb into that hood. It'll push the hood down and out of the way every time so you don't have a "short stroke" causing the hood to still be engaged.
Bad take imo. I think it’s not a bad skill to be confident at knowing where your holster is, however why not look at your holster when reinserting. You said to always be scanning ahead, I would say that you should not be trying to reholster until you are certain the threat is no longer a concern. I think it is a far better habit to look down to reholster because that is honestly where a lot of ND’s end up happening. Just my take.
@b.a_charlie2228 why is your finger on the trigger when reholstering??????? Not looking doesn't cause that... You can never be 100% certain that all threats are neutralized.
Bad take. If you're putting your weapon away, this would assume that you've deemed the moment safe enough to holster up -- If it's safe enough to holster up, it's safe enough to take half a second to properly index yourself and put your weapon away safely. I understand the thought of "you never know if all the threats are gone", but to each their own. It doesn't take but half a second to come off your sightline, to the holster, back up to scanning. Ive watched a coworker let muscle memory take over while he was reholstering on the range, didn't look (def wasn't in the holster) and he just *dropped* his Glock on it's nose lmao
@@BlackWat3rGTR who said your finger is on the trigger? That being said accidents do happen and sometimes that can happen and has happened to some people. Also, if you’re never able to confirm a threat is clear then do you carry 100% of the time with the gun in your hand every where you go? Not in the holster but in your hand every where. Remember the you can never be 100% certain. (Obviously a bit of hyperbole here but still stands)
@@sticksonrecord3257 exactly. If the threat is gone reholster. If it’s not gone why are you putting your gun away lol
What’s our desired distance for this?
The Pyramid Drills were done at 5yds for the video. The consistently increasing (and then decreasing) cadence while maintaining a tight grouping on the shots was the goal.
How do you feel about Allegiant Holsters
Cool video! I have spoke to you in person on this very subject. It is fun to see you on UA-cam. It's a great store. I was the guy fine tuning my 460 Rowland at the range.
Quality optics come factory aligned when mounted correctly. A few rounds off a steady rest will ensure a great zero.
Rear sight has too wide of a U ... and getting the 12'th round in the twelve round mag (without a mag loader) is literally impossible. The 11'th round by hand is a struggle.
❤
I missed the livestream, but always try to watch the replay.
You don’t know stress until you’ve done a mag change under fire. 😂 US Army Infantry, Iraq 3 deployments , 25 years active duty, 15 years working for DoD, 2 of those on PPD.
Wanna cookie?
Will a P320 AXG Legion slide and barrel fit onto a P320 X5 Legion frame (TXG frame)?
Yes, all P320s can fit into one another.
My previous comment was intended for a different video. Love that gun.
Love the glock😂
sure, with optic cuts, slide serrations, stippling, comp cut 😂
not even in the same realm, glock triggers are horrendous
Is it 9mm or not
It is
Gosh I wanted to watch this. I get it’s a range but damn that’s annoying trying to understand you when people are blasting away.
🤠
Cool to see a range that lets you draw from the holster
Exactly how I practice
Solid reps
You only watched your re-holster when there was no mag in the gun. Did your CCW instructor not cover that?
The spear in 7.62x39 is one of the biggest rip offs out there. You might as well get an ar47 and save 2k bucks seeing as they both use flimsy little bored out bolts and crappy ar47 mags that are notorious for being unreliable. Yes even the duramags.
@@justsayin7937 You must work for CMMG. All bolt are not the same. What did you do; buy a Bear creek ×39 upper and now you know it all, when it comes to ×39 platforms? Look up Klayco47 and his PWS review.
@@almaadams3631 There's really not much difference in bolts just the QC
@@justsayin7937 Erin from Sage Dynamics is a military contractor...... you know, a man that gets paid to shoot bad people. His preferred ×39 platform is a PWS MK111 in 762x39. No surprise since they were made for black ops desert missions in 2012. Secondly Sig does not use an AR bolt. The PWS bolt is not AR spec either; it dosen't even have gas rings or a hollow tail. Third, think about the reloading procedure for the Mutant...... Now consider a last round bolt hold procedure. Pros will never choose a Mutant, period.
