Another tip, be wearry of chambering the same round multiple times. You can get bullet setback, or you can make the bullet start to angle in the case. Lots of people do it without a problem, but problems can happen.
Trevor, have you been watching me load up? I literally just did this an hour before watching. You make good sense, and I appreciate your efforts. I did not know that this functionality would not be healthy for the extractor. I want my new XR920 to live a long and healthy life.
This is the best video for new shooters I have ever seen. Maybe even those not new to shooting. I don’t even slam the slide on an empty chamber. People are beating their guns to death for no reason. Again great job Trevor.
Hi Trevor, May be another way to be fully loaded - 1 in the Chamber and a full magazine in - insert a full magazine in the pistol, load one in the chamber with pistol slide in normal position (not slide locked to the rear) take out magazine that is now missing a bullet and insert a fresh new magazine that is topped off…. Add one more round the magazine that you used originally…. Chamber check that one round is in…. And carry mag that you topped off. Now you are fully tactical loaded 😊
Awesome info. I knew the right way but didn't know the why. Who unloads at the end of the day? Also, just topped 1000 rounds in my MR930 with ZERO malfunctions.
Technique #2 has a BIG issue...much bigger than breaking an extractor. If you continually load the same round over and over again you will experience bullet set back. On a hot +P defense round this can make a VERY big bang which will destroy more than just your extractor. If you're going to chamber a round every day, at the very least rotate them so you aren't pushing the bullet back.
@@fullfire0 that is very wrong and bad information. It’s not a myth. If it was a myth, Ammo companies wouldn’t recall lots of ammo for improper crimps causing bullet setbacks. Ask any reloader who’s seated a bullet too deep and experiences case head separation, pierced primers or worse exploded guns. Please do not comment on things you don’t know about. You’ll get someone hurt offering bad advice.
@@Freakingstang Dude, I've literially experimented with this a ton. I reload as well. I've taken a hammer and smashed bullets as far as possible into the case and then shot them with no negative effects. I did this for an entire box of ammo. I did this because of a study I read online where someone did the exact same thing, and I wanted to verify their results.
Thank you. Very good information in a short informative video that's easy to pass on. Could you possibly explain why, on my 5th gen Glocks, sometimes I have to depress the safety and slide the firing pin forward for them to reassemble? I never have this issue on my MR920 or older Glocks.
I used to load the first way, by dropping the round into the chamber and closing the slide, until I learned better. Is it possible to get a new extracter and depressor plunger assembly? I'm worried about em failing/breaking now haha
Or better yet, don’t top off period. As a ccw, the odds of you getting into a protracted gun fight are so low it’s not even worth talking about. 10 or 12 rounds are plenty. Carry a spare mag.
Is there anyway to avoid ruining the top two rounds when loading from a magazine? I’ve had to throw out rounds because the bullet was compressed back into the casing when cycling those top two rounds. I already try to avoid unloading my carry gun each day and put the entire holster in the safe.
@@thefrogking481 Seen you all over this comment section harassing people about putting guns in safes. You do understand people can have more than one gun? You understand they can have quick access safes? You know nothing about their situation but you want to high road them like you know better. Grow up dude
if you ride the slide and do it slow there will be little to no stress on the chambered round. once the gun is broken in it should slow ride smoothly. polishing the feed ramp will make it way smoother when chambering
Or…… don’t +1. Just carry what your mag holds. I do that so I know my mag is fully seated as well. Then it stays in that condition until it needs to be fired.

Can you do a Tech Tuesday episode on the differences between the Shadow Systems regular extractor and the enhanced extractor? Thanks.

I have the cr920 and I love it, keep the informative info coming. Thanks.
sensible and sound logic I can now use to humiliate my range buddy. thank you for settling this!
Alternatively, don't unload at the end of the day. I transfer my carry gun directly into the safe while it's still in the holster
What good does it do you in a safe at night?
@@thefrogking481 Plenty, considering it's a quick access safe in my nightstand.
@@Tayne195 you keep an unloaded gun in your quick access safe? That doesnt sound very quick
@@patchydrum2 reread what he wrote. He leaves it loaded
@@patchydrum2 he literally said don't unload the gun

You guys are awesome, keep up the great work! 918 Combat edc still rockin!
Thanks for the tips Trevor! I so want to buy one of your pistols, but I hear about so many people having issues with them.
Hey Trevor! Lets see a video on how to switch placement of the magazine release onto the right side. Thanks for another awesom vid btw 👍
Awesome info. I knew the right way but didn't know the why.
Who unloads at the end of the day?
Also, just topped 1000 rounds in my MR930 with ZERO malfunctions.
Nice tip, 👍
Super helpful! Thanks for the info!
Once again requesting a heavyweight variant of the DR920 Elite optimized for USPSA.

NO this is a myth. Bullet setback IS NOT DANGEROUS to you or your gun.

@@Freakingstang I agree with you 💯

I used to do the first one all the time with my issued Beretta.
But….I don’t do that with my new issued Glock.
What if you slowly release the slide?
THANKS, GREAT INFO!

Pinky extension for the 10-round mag of that gun you're holding when?
Good stuff though!
Thanks again!
I do option 2.
I used to load the first way, by dropping the round into the chamber and closing the slide, until I learned better. Is it possible to get a new extracter and depressor plunger assembly? I'm worried about em failing/breaking now haha
Option one is an option? Crazy
Well, happy I am doing it correctly!

Wtf good does it do you when it's locked in the safe?
@@thefrogking481 don’t you worry, I have a bedside gun as well ;)

But it worked in Lethal Weapon!
Never #1
I'm still a total noob when it comes to firearms/edc but even I never once thought to do it that way, just seems wrong haha.
A lot of bolt gun users found this out the hard way.
