Saint
The hero we needed.
you described it perfectly and it resembles far too many years past
I worked for a gun shop that sold multiple brands of gun safes. 9 out of 10 safes that needed warranty claims were failures of the electronic pad. Regardless of brand that was almost always the failure point. Mechanical dials were far superior in reliability.
Hey, thanks for more imput!
I was a GSA safe "Custodian" when I was in the Military. We used high end stuff for weapons and the electronic dials were absolute garbage and failed at almost every unit I was at.The mechanical dials were easier to maintain and while re-comboing them could suck sometimes, they were much easier to maintain and rarely failed.
@@morbidsnake you have any brands you think are decent? Anything with a metal thickness thats more than a billionth of an inch?
@@jamesbrisendine Any GSA approved firearm safe is going to be big, expensive and heavy as hell. I'm not even sure if you can get mechanical dials anymore. I liked MOSLERs but they closed in 2001.
Don’t trust electronic locks
Your work to change the gun community, and to make it more inclusive and set a good example for others is greatly appreciated.
I will second that !
Unfortunately, I feel it's already to late.
@@sasquatchycowboy5585 it's only over too late if you accept that it's too late.
Honestly it's the most underrated element of what he does. Consistently at that.
The gun community is the most diverse group in any sport or activity. The gun video content is not that diverse. Too many review channels.
That's a beautiful M1. Have a great start into the new year, Karl.
Thanks, you too!
Karl, thanks for all you do for the community! Have a great ‘23!😊
Russel running double bandoleers in a Cowboy Brutality match would be awesome. Happy New Year Karl and crew! 🎉
That would be epic.
A huge problem I have with cap and ball revolvers is to find #10 caps locally or online. One thing you can do is replace the nipples with domestically manufactured nipples designed for #11 caps, which are a LOT easier to find.
Don't end up like Australia, stay strong America, hold onto your guns.
Thank you Karl, very enlightened as always!
Happy new year everyone
The whole intermediate cartridge bolt-action rifle with a detachable magazine immediately made me think of the Steyr Scout rifle.
And it even has an extra slot for a spare magazine in it too!
An apt summary of the year, Thanks again for the work Karl and Co.
Thanks for this Karl, I hope you have a good 2023.
happy new year Karl and all co-hosts, you guys do a great job in terms of content/tonality/topics - wishing you all the best for 2023!
Happy new year!
Here here!
These Q&As are always great. Keep doing your thing, Karl! Oh, and thanks for introducing me to both Deviant Ollam's channel/stuff and the Behind the Bastards/It Could Happen Here podcasts - some of my very favourite things that I've found through you.
Re suppressors - what do you think of their utility for a defensive firearm? Being from the UK this isn't a thing here, but it seems that you aren't going to want to grab ear protection if you hear a bump in the night so a suppressor would make sense? Is this the use case for shotgun suppressors? (We know Dev loves his shotgun by the bedside - does he have it suppressed?)
The really major use case for shotgun suppressors is if you're hunting with dogs and you don't want your dogs to go deaf. (Edit: I mean, obviously everybody's needs vary. I don't hunt, I don't shoot shotguns, but I do love dogs. So whatever is going on with your home defense needs, if you need to sacrifice a bit of hearing to save your life, well, good trade, right? But deaf dogs is sad, especially if they get deafened essentially for recreation.)
Regarding your comments on training classes : you’re absolutely correct. The quality of the training and the trainer are the most important. Can the instructor pass on skills and knowledge that are useful? Is the instructor effective ? Those, to me, are the keys.
Karl, you are awesome! Thank you for all your knowledge shared so far. I always look forward to your videos. Happy new years brother!
Happy new year and thank you!
Cowboy Brutality would be really cool to do in Tombstone. There used to be a range there because I used to shoot matches at it. It was just down the road from Boot Hill. I don't know if there's a range there now.
It has definitely been a hard year for many people, including people making the types of content we make.
But people like watching it, and that really does make doing this worth while.
You remain a true font of knowledge. Wishing you the best in 2023.
The bandolier V. Pouches also comes down to the doctrines most European armies were worried about troops “ wasting ammo” which is the reason for the magazine cutoff on early bolt action rifles.
Happy new year
We lived a decade in just under three years, whilst simultaneously being stuck in March 2020 forever.
@@JoshuaC923 Thanks for coming to my TED talk!
Thanks Karl. Happy New Year.
I was really hoping you were going to bring up the beauty of your environment. The clouds slowly moving across the sky in this video was stunning. Happy new year
Nicely done. Best of the New Year to you.
Happy new year and thank you!
Thanks for the videos, Karl. Hope 2023 keeps you and yours in good health.
Thanks, Karl. Wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year!!
What a nice gift for my birthday, thanks Karl :)
Happy birthday!
Some might of said before, but I think why pounches are more common than bandoleers is because pouches are far more multifunctional and easier to produce. Also, in a bandoleer, cartridges are exposed to the elements. It's easier not to get dirt and mud on your ammo when crawling through muck when it's in a closed pouch then splayed evenly over you waist and chest.
That is why I think it's a more regional thing. Mud maybe isn't as common in those areas so what you get for dirt is fine dust that, when you are handling every cartridge when loading gets brushed off to some extent.
And a pounch is a bag. Bags can hold anything and everything that fits in them. Bandoleer is a specilized tool.
Jack of All Trades, master of none.
But oft-times better then the master of one.
I totally get it. My year went the same. 😊
Utah native here with some perspective on "sprawl" in our state. We're definitely better off than most places with large cities when it comes to preservation of our natural wonders. However, in the last tennish years, lots of big tech companies have come here and our already exploding population has gone into overdrive. The cost of living is at least double what it was ten years ago and every piece of farmland in my home town is being covered with apartments and office buildings. I fear that at least in the north of Utah, in the surrounding areas of Salt Lake, we are in danger of irreparable damage to the natural beauty of our state.
As a fellow native Utahrd, I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately there is an enemy of natural preservation in Mike Lee. Happily, thus far, his efforts have been curtailed.
Didn’t the salt lake shrink a lot
@@tomhenry897 The Great Salt Lake fluctuates in size all the time, however in this latest multi-year drought it has reached its smallest size (shoreline, depth, and volume) in recorded history. That, though, is mostly a product of global warming and the Wasatch Mountains' failing of snow retention over the past 2 decades.
Your answer to the ‘ban state’ question was spot on. Thank you. As a NY resident, don’t give them any more ‘data’. That being said, id love to go to a brutality match and test my state-compliant kit!
So true. While it's "fun" to poke them with things that they missed because they don't know the reality of how firearms work, they just get pissed and add it to the next revision ASAP. Like the current rounds about the critter who doesn't understand that magazines can be reloaded. It's just plain ignorant, but by poking him about it, he get's to revise and restrict even more.
thank you karl for all you do,,
wishing everyone a wonderful and prosperous new year!
👍
Great Q&A video. Thank you.
Thank you! The Q&As are my favorite.
That plant over your right shoulder looks mean! But thanks for the work you do.
That's my favorite desert plant, it's an ocotillo!
@@InrangeTv Thanks!
Been waiting for that lemat video for a while. Have a feeling it's gonna be a banger when it's ready.
See you next year, thank you for your work!
I am happy to report that "is olive oil fruit juice?" was a smash at the NYE party. Happy new year everyone
You're awesome Karl! Keep up the great work. We are out here following your lead to make this a better world!
Thankyou Karl for all you do! Always enjoy your content and your insight, have a happy and safe new year!
Yeah. I feel the same. The longest and shortest year ever.
Thank you for all the awesome content throughout the Year Karl. I always learn something. I appreciate your your crisp, professional manner and don't feel like I am being talked down to. I would love to attend a brutality match someday, even though my skills are far below those demonstrated by the individuals on your channel (working on it). I feel like I would be welcomed and would take a great deal away from it. All the best for the New Year.
Re: 1860s “Quigley” shot, Major General John Sedgwick wishes to point out that the Whitworth rifle would be tough to beat! But an 1869 Sharps in .44/77 would be a very good choice too.
As always, the Q/A was very interesting. Thank you for the hard work.
Ruff-Ruff-Ruff! Edit: sorry, i couldn't help myself, I kept hearing the dog barking in the background. I do appreciate what you do Karl. Happy New Year!
My answer for the Holiday Brutality would Chanukah Brutality. 8 Crazy nights of consecutive brutality match.
Always enjoy some good q&a vids karl. I'd personally like to hear more on cartridge belts/bandoliers and ammo pouches in general. I'd be curious of the exposure to the elements being an issue long term to cartridges in a more wet environments.
Europe is muddier than Mexico, a lot of wars in Europe were fought on muddy fields or in damp forests, thus pouches make more sense. Distances are also fairly short so resupplying isn't as big of a deal. Deserts in Mexico are quite different so bandoliers might make more sense there.
Thanks for all your great content in 2022. A very happy New Year to you and yours! All the best. Rich.
Same to you!
Right on bro!
ayyy agree 100% on the double stack single feed mags. Its always a pleasure to shoot my CF98 with its double stack double feed mags.
Happy New Year Karl. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the videos.
I didn't know there was ever a model of night vision that actually made the high pitched, upward sweeping tone . I thought that was all Hollywood. Thanks for that tidbit.
Yep, some of the old junk actually does that.
The word you are searching for in the introduction is "the quickening" of life. When a human being is old enough to sense that time is a stain spreading on a rumpled sheet. It's like how We think we can see the curvature of the earth if we get high enough.
I love the fact you are not just gun reviews you do history you talk about how and why we are where we are. You include others on your channel from diverse backgrounds.
Godam, Karl aged. Thx for all your dedication Karl, you're an awesome person.
Thanks
What Karl said about Utah is absolutely correct. Come for a visit, but just don’t move here.
Thank you for the interesting answer! I'm currently living in Massachusetts, so that's why it was on my mind, but I hadn't considered the points you brought up.
Happy new years Kommander
Happy new year Karl!
Happy new year brother! Keep your powder dry!
Happy New Year
Keep the faith, Karl. I appreciate what you are building. Disagree with the Sharps for a 1,000 yard shot in the 1860s. I'd go with a British Whitworth muzzle-loading rifle with the hexagonal bullet as effectively used by confederate snipers.
Whitworths arr very cool unique rifles. Id love one but good luck finding it
Sounds like a great idea :2G Cowboy theme .
Bandoliers (at least some designs) are also cheaper to produce, you can use less leather. Also they don't require a belt, which means if you're using civilian clothes, you can just throw it on, if your outfit does not include a sturdy belt to hold a fully loaded cartridge pouch.
The only part of Utah I’ve been is monument valley, we drove through part of it and it was astonishingly beautiful.
The beginning of your video is interesting to me. People didn't see what was coming and it is hilarious to me.
Nothing new rises under the sun. History repeats itself. Over and over.
Good luck and God bless to you and those that you love.
For 45 years I have been loading my lever action the hard way, learn something new today.
I learnt this trick shooting Gallery Rifle Full Bore competition at uni with winchesters in .38 spl... a lot of that was about stuffing rounds in quickly through the gate so you quickly learn to use every trick!
My issue with NVG is that my $4,000 M1D isn’t losing value whereas todays $3,500 NVG is next years $2,000 NVG and in a few years it’s $1,000 or less.
“What’s your life worth?” Good point, I just don’t see me fighting in the dark in a way that I will be able to retrieve and use it whereas I carry a very bright flashlight.
But I often think about it. If it does come down to a $1,000 price point I may jump on it. Camping and hiking would be wizard with it.
I heard welcome to the final q&a & my heart sank for a second lol
Karl: about the training thing, I used to have the same mentality as you, i.e.: I'm not a "been there, done that" guy so I have no business teaching classes. I friend of mine who is a been there, done that guy talked me into doing classes and everyone that I've taught has said that I did a good job and that they thought the class was well worth their time.
I think the "touch the magic" students are akin to what you mentioned earlier in the vid about the tiny amount of people who want to shoot modern matches with archaic gear: they do exist but we think there's more of them than there really are because we hang out on channels like this. I think the majority of people who take classes just want to feel more comfortable and competent with their gun and as long as the teacher can help them do that then they aren't too concerned about his identity or even background.
Could you please do a deep dive on 6mm ARC. A lot of it is in your realm of precision shooting and tactical stuff.
The M2 in .50cal will be around till we get rapid firing plasma guns.
The AGI video I have goes into great detail on the double stack single/double feed for the Sterling SMG.
The best holiday horror Brutality match, Thanksgiving at the Wentscobar house. Truly horrific.
I retired just before the lockdowns, good timing 🤪. Love InRange.
Honestly 2022 has been the equivalent of Nebraska for me. It's there, it happened, but I didn't notice much of it.
Also, safety is off, so that makes Karl a bad man.
On mechanically or electronically actuated gun safe locks, a vendor once pointed out something that'd make me buy electronic next time :
If there's a break-in and they see the mechanical lock and want the guns, they'll turn your abode upside down in search of the key.
I want 'Cowboy Brutality' to happen now more than anything. Having black powder and smokeless divisions, manually repeating and single shot rifles with differing hit counts, throw in shot guns... It would be glorious.
Sarah McLachlan sings... Adopt a banstater today, let them borrow your kit for a match.
Karl thank you for teasing the 1.5x ACOG. Pleaseee!!! You da man Karl
Long range stage suggestion: Counter sniper. There are several silhouettes out at the max distance for the range (300m or so) but only one of them is a target. Stage is getting one round on the target, penalties for hitting non-target silhouette.
On the supressors, perhaps the largest reason for hunters to have one is to spare your hunting dog from hearing damage.
I'm a simple guy. I see Garand I click
Regarding bandoliers vs pouches. From a European perspective, pouches are useful for keeping mud away from your ammunition. In the dry deserts of Mexico mud is probably not as much of a problem as it is in the fields of Europe.
Happy New Year when it comes. Thanks as ever and have a good 2023 👍
Cowboy Brutality!! I'll make the trip from Michigan!!!
Regarding the 5.56 vs 9mm question:
I generally agree with you. But if someone put both of said guns to my head and said I had to decide, or they'd shoot me with both? It would depend on the barrel length of the 5.56. If it's some "pistol" with a stupid short like 10.5" barrel, I'm gonna go with that because the icepicking effect you described earlier in the video tends to render the bullet slightly less obscenely traumatic.
If it's some 22" gun shooting like MK262 from a few yards away, I am very afraid of what cavitation is going to do to my insides. I feel like my chances of survival go way up if I'm not dealing with cavitation. I read a report a while back where a trauma surgeon in Chicago said that most of the time, if a victim is hit by a handgun, their survival frequently depends on whether or not they arrive at the hospital in a reasonably timely fashion, whereas rifles will just fuck you all kinds of up. Of course, he was trying to make the case against "assault" rifles in private ownership, and people are willing to make all kinds of strange assertions or impositions when they have ideology at stake. So it's hard to say how much of that is motivated by actual data.
But still.
My choice is going to change based on how fast I can reasonably expect that 5.56 round to be going when it hits me.
For a rifle in 1899, I think a very good argument could be made for the 1894 in .30-30 winchester. Much flatter shooting than the .44-40, greater muzzle energy, equally quick handling and naturally pointing gun, light recoil, relatively high mag capacity; its a clear winner for me. The 1873 in .44-40 handled short distances a bit better, but the 1894 is much more versatile.
For the revolver, while the S&W Frontier and Colt SAA still works, the Colt New Service with its swing out cylinder is definitely the clear winner.
Happy New Year Karl. Can I also say thankyou for the sterling work you and Francophile Gun Jesus Mr Ian Mccollum are doing for unusual Follicular topiary.
50BMG is here long term. The tanks that can survive 50BMG have been around for decades, but infantry armor that can resist it is a myth. 7.62mm is still in use all over the world.
Re: bandoliers. A lot of formal militaries would have to consider things like being able to function in a wide range of weather conditions. A pouch would keep rounds from getting wet in the rain better than a bandolier. That probably wouldn't be as much of an issue for a Mexican revolutionary in many areas.
For pistols 10 round mags have been proven to generate faster split times than 15 or 17 round mags.
I’d really be interested in a series about the glanton gang or locations featured in blood meridian
Cheers for all you and the team do, Karl!
For bolt rifles I'd look no further than the Ruger American Ranch in 5.56 - takes hi-cap mags, AR style release, integral pic rail and overall very light, compact and accurate as it's built around a cold hammer forged 16.25" barrel. They also do them in 7.62*39 which I own and really enjoy even with just the factory 10 round box mags.
Throw on a low power variable optic like the Vortex 1-4*24 and you're laughing!
Budget NV? Check out OG's Danger Show for a good review on a budget setup.
An Evil Dead I.e. boomstick + chainsaw themed match would be rad.
My choice for 1860s 1000 yard shooting would be a Whitworth 451 (preferably with a Malcolm scope)
I like that stuffed critter/creature on the table.
I'm not sure what it is, but it's kind of neat.
