Is the Radian Talon "Un-Safe"?
Вставка

- Whats up everybody! Here's a video on a minor and completely UN-Scientific experiment done by me in order to assess the "SAFETY" of the Radian Talon safety selector switch as it pertains to the fitment on "My" AR Pistol. You be the judge...Please share your opinions with me in the comments. If you own this product as well I highly recommend you do some evaluations of your own, before you trust your life to this product.
P.S. thanks for the tip #FlannelDaddy👍🏽

Change your goddamn smoke detector battery.

First thing I came to say. And cut the cocaine sniffing pinky nail off bro. Get it together.
I was gonna say the same haha
Its not battery. My friend just bought a new house. The smoke alarm does the same thing. Cause I asked him wtf is that sound. Lol
Can’t afford batteries for the smoke detector because he spent $200 on a sbr stamp
This was an amazing break down. No words even. Just straight up showing us
Change your smoke detector battery. Keep the safety. If you feel unsafe send me the safety and I’ll send you batteries.
Dang soon as I saw the compass and protractor I knew this was going to be a good review!
Poor little smoke alarm 😢
Saw the finger nails and was about to “nope” the fuck out but was semi interested in the approach. Heard the smoke alarm low battery warning and couldn’t do it. Get your shit together, homie.
Bro triggered by a beep
@@SpartanKittenor unprofessionalism
1:02 anyone else notice the "Carrie Fisher" nail? lol
MrCevant booger nail 🤣

😆
He blinded me with Science 🧪
Did the same test on my factory safety selector. And it did the same thing. Not sure but I would imagine probably just about any safety selector you barely moved off of safe would do the same. Good video.
Wolf Smith None of my PSA lowers have that problem🤷🏽♂️...it’s actually more of a tolerance stacking issue, I swapped that Talon to a Aero M4E1 lower, and now have no issues what so ever👍🏽
I did the same test on my factory rock river arms lower and safety and it did that too. 90 degree safety that is.
@@pope_pius_x6169 if your not military or law enforcement this won’t effect you. Those are positive switches and it locks into safe. You have to deliberately move it off of safe even to get it to move a little bit like the video. This didn’t unsafe unless you aren’t trained and always fuck with your switches for no reason
Say your out hog hunting and unknowingly your safety switch catches on your jacket…I don’t see how being non LEO/MIL or having training factors in to this issue at all🤔🤷🏽♂️
@@gutzngunz1897then that’s an issue with your gear if it’s taking your gun off safe that easily.
Be accountable for here your safety selector is. Just like being accountable for where your replacement smoke alarm batteries are.
If you buy a Radian 45/90 safety, and you look at how it is machined on both sides, you realize that it is the same amount of "safety." Also consider this: How many other weapons do you own that have a 90-degree safety?
THIS is why it's important to do a proper function test. This isn't the first rifle that will fire with a short throw safety, and there's more out there that haven't properly been tested. Makes me just want to stick with a 90 degree throw as it's hard to determine how these things will behave once you get some wear, tear, and grime on the parts long term.
opmike343 Its worth mentioning just as Garand Daddy explained, experiences vary based on tolerance stacking, proper installation, hard use and many other variables🤷🏽♂️. For whatever it’s worth...I moved this exact safety assembly to an Aero M4E1 lower and am experiencing a much better operation. A more positive safety engagement, much less wiggle in the safety, and virtually no negligent engagements or dis engagements I should say.
@@gutzngunz1897 thanks for putting that out there about the aero m4e1
I am looking to put this on an M4E1 so thanks for the info
that coke pinkey doe
While tending bar back in the 80"s I met a Hawaiian who had a pinky nail like that. He told me that it let other Hawaiian's know he didn't have to work. Him and his buddy each tipped a $5 bill a drink.
This has been a known issue with 45’s for years. I love the idea but it just doesn’t work well with the AR15. The noveske STS was the best design for a safety on an AR ever. It was a 60 degree safety. It’s not well known and they didn’t make for long. I wish they would start making it again.
Dude! I couldn’t give a shit less about the safety, but this is f*cking hilarious anyway!🤣👍
Ok brutha it’s time for another video lolol
It’s the dead smoke detector for me 😂
Just saved me $60
Thanks
I think the moral of the story is always gauge your lowers and stop buying out of spec junk.
Great video. What about the battle arms bad ass pro safety selector?
Alvaro Rangel can’t really say...I don’t have one🤷🏽♂️
Ngl I recently built an Ar from scratch minus the AX556 lower radian offers. After putting their safety in with a Elftmann match Trigger and an Aero Stripped upper with KNS anti rotation tabs that I had to grind and slightly bend in order for it to fit over the machining around the Bolt Release catch on the right side. After following Elftmann's trigger installation manual I found that 1/3 pulls on safe it would light fire. I assumed the trigger set screws weren't set hard enough. Went to the range and sure enough it fired single shot which indicated that it wasn't set right. So I cranked them down as hard as I could..to no avail.... however I watched a video before yours and haven't seen that grand thumb video or just don't remember him saying that.....
TLDR I never guessed to back off on the set screws which might of fixed my problem before I ordered another $170 trigger after buying this $250 one..... time to experiment at the range and kick brass again
tolerance stacking 🤷🏽♂️
@@gutzngunz1897potentially but after further inspection the trigger may have been faulty, it would even be able to be turned to safe when it wasn't cocked, after putting the new trigger in every thing works fine
JadedKingsGaming good troubleshooting👍🏽
@@gutzngunz1897 wellll almost, it short cycles, my thoughts now are that the Sprinco extra heavy spring and my H2 buffer are just too heavy for the rifle length gas system.
JadedKingsGaming what’s your barrel and gas system length?
Omg best!
45° radian is absolutely safe especially if it’s in radian lower but they’re in OEM manufacture of their charging handles and talent safety is they are very very safe in my opinion and I have use the M-16 for A.R. 15 tape platform since 2008 and by now so many companies use their safeties and jersey handles like their industry standard and they are very very safe I have never had an issue as long as you are not a moron and know how to put on a safety selector and properly make sure the detent and spring are tight inside the pistol grip your gun will have zero issues and if you have an ad a spec A.R. 15 why even have it it’s too much trouble to get parts that most likely will not fit anyway you might be able to get some parts to fit but your trigger pins could walk out and he’s talking about shitty shitty lowers that aren’t any good to wear the holes that were cut in the forged receiver set or billet receiver are not the right size that’s way different story then is the Radian on ssafe no it’s called a shitty lower is the problem not the safety and grip which is needed to install your safety if you have a shitty D10 spring or a vent line you could have issues but I’ve even had vent springs and it it is flawless it’s very positive tactile snap at 45 I use 90 for a while and then come up for the 45° and do you know it’s another fucking safety your finger and doing a brass check and not flagging other people at the range you won’t have any issues with any safety is if you don’t do those stupid things
Cherp
Lost me at the fire alarm low battery beep
Change the battery in your smoke detector!😎
Taking it off of safety makes it live so I’m lost. It doesn’t matter what the orientation is. It seems like he expects there to be 2 safe positions.
Dude ditch the trash pinky nail. What are you doing?
Nasty pinky nail
So my question is; is this simply an issue with the safety not engaging because you have it installed in the 90° setup and not the 45°? It’s 2 separate sets for the safety to lock-in. Curious if this would still be an issue installed for 45° as opposed to 90°
Typo? I think you mean to say…would this be the case if installed for a traditional 90° throw? As opposed to a 45° throw, as is on video? Answer is…yes that should help correct the issue. However like daddy plaid mentioned, this is a tolerance stacking issue. Your lower may vary.🤷🏽♂️
That damn watch weighs as much as the AR...
That's impossible. A ar weighs as much as several heavy boxes
The best safety of all is a finger off the trigger....
Testing your luck with that 89 degree VFG on a pistol I see...
Justin Du that angled foregrip you mean?😂👀 #bearelylegal 🤫
Fudge just caught that... AVFG almost vertical fore grip lol.. stupid way to become a felon
TheNoob You fuzz?👀 lol thanks for the sub✌🏽
F@ck the AFT!
I just did this with my own safety. I think your parts are out of spec or maybe mine aren't worn in
