Great episode fellas! I’m not a Gucci gun fan myself, I’m more into the durability and practicality. I enjoy seeing people’s “creativity” sometimes, but no bling on my pew pew’s. The gun community can be a great place, I don’t care what you’re shooting, Just own a weapon, know your weapon and how to use it correctly!!
🗽✌🏻
THIS ☝ 💯
I made the mistake of buying a BCM out of the gate. Now I feel like I have to spend 1400 bucks or more everytime I buy another one. In all honesty, its "just" a plain ol' milspec gun. Hindsight says I should have spent half as much on Areo Precision, and I would have NVGs by now. Smh..
Oddly enough, this exact topic has been on my mind a lot lately. I recently took the time to step back and reflect on what gun ownership means to me and it helped me identify several areas I have been neglecting/overlooking. It was helpful to break things down into smaller identifiable goals and begin to move towards them according to their priority.
As such I've shifted mindset from 'get another gun' to 'just finish one'
and by finish it I don't just mean the firearm, I mean the accompanying gear and skills as well.
Can you stop the bleed? If faced with a hostile force how will you carry extra mags? If you get lost on a hunt can you start a fire?
The firearm is just one part of the overall system.
Absolute facts 💯
I bought an sks the other day and forgot what it was like to buy a rifle that actually came with sights
now all you need is a $20 chicom chest rig and stripper clips
@@arib515 Thats what I'm talkin' about !
Just got into this world and really trying to navigate the water. Recently bought an AR and conceal guns. Appreciate all this stuff to think about
First and foremost. Educate yourself on training. Don’t fall into all of the latest and greatest trends with accessories and gear. It changes all of the time. Get into some classes if you can.
Buy all your accessories off wish you get more of them and they work just as fine
Best concealed carry gun is my Sig red dot laser flashlight combo got it all off with grips got them off wish fully nodes very cheap
@@chiraqscorekeeper4678 Jesus 🤣
@@DontHasselHoff we shoot a lot at home and much more since getting on UA-cam. I shoot an untouched Glock 19. I don’t tinker with the life saver. I think I do need a sling and a light for the rifle.
QD everything. Makes switching sharing and moving these things super easy. Especially optics and slings.
As a gun collector, I feel personally attacked by the whole first 4 minutes of this video. lol
I was attacked too lol but I don’t feel like I need to put lights and slings on guns that I don’t intend on using for anything other than going to the range and having fun with them. I have designated rifles and pistols rigged up for carry/or SHTF stuff
I don't have enough guns, but I can say any weapon meant for defense has an optic, a light and a sling. We only got two hands so I kinda focus on one rifle and one pistol per shooter
All 3 I do not need on my pistol 🤣
I see “them”…I want them and they follow me home! LOL
I confess. I've been guilty of sometimes starting to buy certain access./upgrades B4 I'm even in possession of or purchased the firearm.
I'm guilty of stocking up the ammo for a gun I don't own yet if it's one I don't have the caliber yet
@@BlackoutPatriot So true, I bought (never enough) of some .22LR long B4 I got the guns to shoot'em.
This is the way 2020
It's funny, when I was young outfitting with accessories was half the fun and half the effort. But now that I'm in my 60's, I've been leaning back to the simple striped down original versions for simplicity, and to shed bulk and weight. Plus I've also been leaning back to the original architecture from the so called "assault" rifle architecture.
I'm normal then (well maybe). Doing the same thing, just going with sling, optic, and backup sights on my rifles. Only sling and light on my shotguns.
Simple is always lighter. Old fat and arthritic, I have a deep appreciation for lighter. Lol.
Your boy made it quick! ZenitCo is accessory king right now in the AK game 🇷🇺💯
if we could find a way to turn Erics guitar straps into rifle slings, he might just get by.
Eric, this is a fantastic idea for product development: a Schaller-type of guitar strap lock that also has a QD mount on it. Straight from Tele to Tavor in ten seconds or less!
@@edwardx.winston5744 i like your thinking
I have a nice thick guitar strap sling on my 870. Works nicely for me.
james yeager always told stories about people bringing glocks to class that were all tricked out and would fail constantly, then he would put all the orig parts back in them and they started running flawlessly again.
Reid Henrichs once told me that the best trigger job is 1000 rounds and a training class.
Caught myself doing this and the past year I've been kitting them all up and boy was it expensive and I didn't even buy high-end surefires and aimpoints its streamlights and sig romeos for me
Slings are an important tool to include on your rifle, whether they are two-point or single-point. However, the most important thing to have are backup iron sights if you mainly use an optic of any type. Batteries die, glass breaks, weather conditions can negatively affect them. Finally, a mounted flashlight is also a critical option to consider.
I think I speak for all of us when I say: We love you boys! Thank you for ALL of your content, your message(s), and your unwavering allegiance in the fight to preserve our God given rights. Merry Christmas!!!
When you mentioned that you had bought and own guns for which you have no accessories, I had to laugh because that's ME too! LOL
Have a friend of mine like that, gets bored and buys another gun. I convinced him just as you guys suggest a few days ago, use what ya got and buy to improve for your use. It also is a good reason to buy stuff when explaining to a woman.....lol
Arisaka 1" mounts are awesome for any nontraditional light. It has a tolerance for tightening the clamp for slightly smaller or larger bodies
Good info, thanks
For me as a quadriplegic the trigger is most important by far.
Lmao whats that
I’d think a bipod would be more helpful
Iron sights
Magazines
Sling
Light
Optic
That's the order I've always gone in. Good video.
Thanks for reminding me. I got some holsters to catch up on.
Actually I have several of the GI web slings. They are good for more than just firearms.
I lost my belt one day and used a GP strap with the steel clips to hold my pants up once 🤣
just because you can set up 3 cameras and randomly cut between them doesn't mean you should.
The order I get firearms related items are in the order I feel they may become difficult to procure in the future. So for the last 10 or so years it has been. 1 Firearms. 2 Magazines. 3 Ammunition. 4. If needed, iron sights.
If I’m going to use a firearm for a particular purpose like home defense, carry, hunting or a shooting competition I will finish fitting it out with the gear I will need. If it’s just something I take to the range I can swap optics, lights slings…
My thinking is that if the federal or my state government ever succeeded in restricting our firearms rights they will go after restricting the first 3on my list and I will have the time to get all the rest of the gear.
Additionally, in the majority of cases it’s the guns, mags and ammo that manufactures discontinue that I want and the longer I wait to get them, the better the lights, sights and other accessories become.
You don't need a sling on all your rifles. Just get a few slings, but outfit all your rifles with quick connects to attach the slings to.
I keep it simple. Simple for home defense makes all kinds of sense to me.
Great video guys! You nailed it everyone has to be guilty of this one way or another.
I have 3 project funs. Every big sales day, I'll buy a trigger, a stock, and extended slide handle. I'm not in a rush with my project funs. These are for style and function over usability and practicality.
Folding stock and front grip are the most important. Even before sights!
You remind me of the Car Wizard, no idea what you guys have in common other than the Service, but a collab could be potentially hilarious. Cars and Guns man
Eric Rocking the Steven Rhodes Shirt. 👍🏿
Highesy priority accessory besides spare mags i think would be sights. I own a Ruger Mini 14 from the 188 series and the flip down rear peep sight is just hot garbage. Adjusting it was a pain in the butt so i just bought a Tech-Sight for it. Same thing with my Marlin Camp 9 and Model 60. Irons were useable but i slapped a Hawke 3-9×50 scope on both and they are just a blast now out to 100 yards
My buddy has one of those, it's a great little rifle but I'm in complete agreement on the peep sights, hot garbage.
Mags, ammo, sling, sights, ammo, optic, light, ammo, extended controls, mag carriers/pouches, ammo.
Either way though when it comes down to it
1. Sling
2. Optic
3. Foregrip/finger stop
4. Light optional
5. Laser optional
6. Mag after mag after mag
Surefire 640df Surefire switch into a cloud defense switch mount. Allows you to tuck you wired into the switch mount and holds the switch pad itself. Love it.
Thats a really cool shirt 👕., my first knife fight awesome lol
Well if your AR comes without a rear aperture then you definitely need a rear aperture sight. If you can’t aim at what you’re shooting at that should be your first priority
I didn't know Trex arms was on yalls radar. I'd LOVE to see yall do something with Lucas.
about a year and a half ago i acquired a Ruger AR-556 - bought some iron sights and a sling at the same time that i picked it up from the FFL, have had a "blast" with it so far - at some point i might put some optics on it but i'm not in a big hurry. if i come across a good deal on something good for this rifle i might think about it ............
I don't like to buy a gun that I can't shoot right out of the box because it takes time to be able to buy an optic and everything so decent iron sights are a must
Properly utilized a sling can be a great aid in precision shooting.
I quit watching around 8:00 but if you are using a firearm for home defense then the first thing you need to spring for is a weapon light. This isn't really negotiable. You need to identify your targets and it is night time about half the time.
I understand some things having just crap triggers, but to many people are trigger snobs that if it ain't the perfect weight and pull they freak out. I say adjust yourself to the feel of what you carry, and if you practice enough it will feel just fine.
Man I’m definitely there with Eric. I have one gun that I finished from start to finish with everything I thought I needed. Then I finished my 300 blk properly. And I’m finally getting around to the psl so hat I’ve had for 5-6 years.
As a hobby I make custom leather holsters. Buddy asked me to make him one. I usually need the pistol for a day or two to make sure the holster fits properly. He told me it was his only handgun. I was flabbergasted. He looked at me kinda crazy when I said " wtf I have 3 on me right now ". I loaned him a revolver to carry while I finish the holster.
After mags/ammo and iron sights, the number 1 accessory should be a flashlight! it should come before a sling or optic. As they said in video you must be able to identify your potential target in a defensive situations! The Four Rules not only apply in fights, they were MEANT to apply in fights, so there is no excuse not to know what you're shooting at. There are so many cases where people have shot or killed family members because they didn't properly identify the target. A light can also illuminate your iron sights too until you can get the optic. After that, a red dot, sling, and in my case as a lefty some ambi controls, are all that is needed for a defensive rifle. Keep them simple and lightweight with only the needed accessories made by high quality manufacturers, and then focus on acquiring skill and marksmanship fundamentals. Training and practice is more important than hanging a bunch of stuff on rifles.
I like the "B-Cam" angle .
I use 1 sling a butler creek mountain sling. My grandmother gave it to me for Christmas when I was twelve. I'm 40 now. Used it on every adventure I ever been on. Lol
I think the majority of us started out buying more parts than needed and or really wanted before completing a build. I have 2 giant Rubbermaid containers of parts from triggers, slings, lights, barrels and handguards. I have the obvious repair parts and extras in case something happens and I need to fix a bcg or gas tube and a pile of buffer springs and buffer weights but after that year of collecting and changing out parts that won't be used, I learned to decide what I wanted before buying anything.
Oh that reminds me I need to order one of them sling attachments for that hole I got on my bullpup I always forget to order that.
I love my Gucci Glock, but I do understand what your getting at. It's just that guns tends to be Legos for adults.
Talking about the people who buy nice guns and lower grade equipment, I kinda went the other way with a PSA AR with an EOTECH 558, Streamlight Protac, Spectre Gear sling :P
A buddy of mine is horrible about cheaping out in the end. He spent 3k plus on a 300wm years ago then stuck a damn $200 scope on it
I specifically remember one following him home from Fort Worth Texas LOL
I listen to your show in the car it’s great !! Thanks
Thank you soo much guys!!! Just got a sling from John but no swivels yet. I bought a S&W sport ll. I so want to upgrade. Thank you for yall keeping on the right path. Great stuff!!!
And after magazines and sites, optics, slings and flashlights, think of a battle belt, chest rig or plate carrier to hold magazines and medical supplies.
I like building rifles fully custom. Definitely requires more tuning. But as for accessories I don’t like putting more than a sight, foregrip, and sling.
Or get 2 savvy sniper slings, 1-QD 1-clip and be set on slings. So sling, mags, optic, light,.
Love what you guys are doing!! Keep it up!
19:50 It's just like modding a car -mess with one thing and you are opening up ten that you need to address to balance it out
Cz P10 pistols buy one then its new barrel, HBI trigger, steel guide rod and 14Ib spring, and apex extended slide release. Then 3 more magazine and more.
I am a collector of great handguns. None of them have electronic things on them. Trijicon night iron sights, slings as appropriate for rifles. Factory everything.
I wish I had “piles of guns”. Can’t even finish my ar in California.
The more reason to invest in firearms if you don’t live in a communist state before it turns into a communist nation!! U never know when u won’t be able to acquire the firearms with adequate accessories.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Good sights, ammo/mags, training
I feel like Erick and Chad are singling me out on this gun grips video
Chad must have frosted his own flakes this morning 😆, looked like he was getting on Ericks nerves
1st Paint your sights/irons before buying optics
Use hairdryer between layers, Handguns Fronts:layers of white/yellow/orange mix around the white dot,slightly enlarge white dot, Rears:Layers of white/yellow/green mix, finish w qtip and matte sealer also big dot the backplate to bore on strikers 🔘,
Poor AR/AK eotech 🤣layers of white/ YG or YR mix on the front sight wings and white dot the post
Eric, you need to subscribe to the "Sling of the month" club❗🤣🤣
Bullets are my main accessory
Yep that’s me… have many many many guns and maybe 35% of them are set up the way I want… I go to the local gun shop anticipating buying my accessories and oh no up on the wall.. there’s the gun I really need… here we go local gun shop layaway…
Trex coupled with arisaka to design the light bar your speaking about for suppressor use!
You guys remind me of a cousin and uncle I have. Very level headed amd reasonable people
They do bring up good points. I'm saving up for a Tavor but I really do need to kit out my others
Bullpups suck tho
Flashlight first always besides a grip that works for you
One very important thing if you’re getting a pistol and plan a light for it make sure there are several holster options for the planned firearm/light combination. Been there done that, the light has never been out of the box.
I own 2 slings if mice haven’t ate them. I don’t like them and find them in the way.
I have a gun gripe. Factory ammo never meeting stated velocity regardless of barrel length.
Most of my babies are tricked out here and there, but I've yet to buy any light for any of my babies:) HA! I've thought about it, but other accessories took priority:)
Love Eric's T-shirt!
You had a gun with circles in the wood stock. I saw a British testing site turned into a museum that used to put these circles on to mark their examples. This was on their website.
Mags ammo and a sighting system are tied number 1, all three are necessary. Number 4 is a light, 5 a sling. Then whatever your heart desires.
I have a problem buying Rifles now. I bought my first 2 years ago and fell in love. Now I buy a new one every month or 2. I haven't really mastered any yet tho lol
Hopefully this video helps you. They are great investments but you should take some classes and master one platform “Beware the man who only has one gun. He probably knows how to use it!" - Clint Smith
In the house you need a reliable gun with a bright light.
I fight with this concept all the time. Hahah
Make vlog style video. Like going to a gun store purchase a gun and pick up every accessories to accossorise the gun and get back and put them on.... And tadda .....
Love the steven Rhoads shirt dude
I'm guilty. All my gen 4 Glocks have gen 3 trigger bars in them. 😧
Merry Christmas gents
Wow, you guys geeked out so hard on this one that it gave me a running case of the Hershey squirts.
merry christmas.................
You guys are straight calling me out there the last two minutes lol, I love it! Great video!
Think first by far would be sights ,red dot or scope would be the first thing to put on ur gun . Can't shoot it accurately without them.unless u bought it with 1 already on it . Then I'd say a good light laser would be next on the list .
To me the most important accessory is to practice, get the muscle memory. How good is a $5000 gun with all the mod cons, if you fumbling in a real situation.
I have a genuine question/point of view for people here. I see a lot of guys talking about lights on their defense setups. And to some degree I could understand having a light on your home defense gun, but I do not understand it for concealed carry. My reasoning behind that point of view is that any time there’s a situation to react/draw/shoot there is 0 time to get your light turned on. If you know that someone is a threat to your life, you’re going to draw and shoot, you’re not going to draw, turn on the light, and then shoot. Lights seem like they are more for an offense application than defense, if you have time to safely turn on the light on your carry pistol, you probably have time to get away from whatever threat there is. So my question is, what’s the point on a light for concealed carry?
hey keep seeing that mosin nagant above your head in every video.And im still looking for one makes me want to cry
The last thing I would put on my home defense firearm is a sling. I don't want to reach for it in the dark and be encumbered by a strap. If I plan to carry a rifle for any distance greater than the length of my house, I may use one, but I don't see the need for one by my bed. Please adjust Chad's Ritalin dosage.
Holster options for carry pistols..... light compatible..... Buy your Light First!!!!
Fist thing is iron sites, second sling, last red dot the end. I don't do lights on my guns. I keep emergency lights on in my house. Lights let bad guys see you.
