Weekly Used Gun Review Ep. 49

[@noahbergeron5020]

I admire how you've woven together a YT channel, a national-scale website, and a brick-and-mortar store. While your firearms knowledge is great, I'm that much more impressed by your business acumen and strategies.
I wonder if that Colt's owner will want to keep it in its classic configuration, or will modernize it instead.

[@strangelyjamesly4078]

PPK, the K stood for Kriminalpolizei, basically Detectives as opposed to beat cops. The Kriminalpolizei, or Kripo for short, were a plain clothes department and the PPK was intended for concealed carry.

[@paulgrogan8032]

Chris, I am just so happy for you with your success with the new online business. You never stopped entertaining us fans even when the shop was bassically empty. Good on ya Brother👏👍🙏

[@donewithmodernlife]

Haven’t seen the RDP Hellcat until now, that’s nice.

[@richardhobin2813]

Man, I really look forward to these reviews. Thank you.

[@MLMWarriors]

Ditto

[@ca9968]

YAY!!!
My Sunday Afternoon is now complete.
: )

[@jil4162]

Your knowledge is so impressive! I’m glad I’m subscribed. Got a chance to meet 2AEdu this weekend and we were discussing you. As God has blessed you so you pass these blessings on to others. And whether you’re a believer or not, you certainly carry the Lords covering. Great job!

[@javagoblin1585]

The Deerslayer is probably the most metal name for a shotgun ive ever heard lol. 🤘🤘

[@ronaldhowdeshell8628]

You really got me this week, a Marlin lever gun and old-school Smith 45's. My favorite rifle is my Marlin 336CS and one of the best handguns that I have ever owned was a Smith 645 that I have kicked myself in the ass for selling for 30 years.

[@NorthwoodsShooter]

In regards to the S&W 645, I know what you mean. I even have one new in the box!

[@ronaldhowdeshell8628]

@@NorthwoodsShooter LUCKY DEVIL!!

[@BuzzzdLightyear]

Gosh, I've been wanting one of those 3rd Gen Smith and Wesson's for so long..

[@NorthwoodsShooter]

I’m lovin’ those Smith & Wesson 3rd Gen. handguns! These are quite often underrated in the gun community, namely because of their weight and capacity. But man, they were nothing short of quality, fit and finish! These will rise in value over time.

[@tonyhayeck45]

Smith and Wesson needs to bring back their metal autos once again!

[@hondasaurusrex6998]

Hmmm new Sunday routine...? Church, breakfast, Chris's video. Great stuff!

[@zenadventurer69]

Fellow Hoosier...and totally agree. I’ve asked the question often about red dots and etc. on essentially a point-shooting self defense pistol. Other than breaking it in or staying frosty with it, you’re not going to be doing any real range shooting with it - and certainly not doing any competition shooting with it (IMO the ONLY reason you’d ever want a red dot). As instructor of mine said when a shooter in our class had to call a cease fire to tweak his dot: “Excuse me, Mr. Bad Buy, while I adjust my red dot.” Side note, I’ve got the Walther PPK/S 22lr and, while it’s picky with ammo (CCI Mini Mags run flawlessly), it’s a great fun/training gun with a lot of cache.

[@MLMWarriors]

Good morning

[@knottheory79220]

The Marlin will be back in time. Give Ruger a while for things to settle down and they'll figure it out eventually.

[@frankkerst5367]

When they acquired the brand, they stated second half of 2021. Clock is ticking. Should be interesting.

[@carlosfraticelli523]

Thanks for the information always looking for your videos

[@celowski6296]

LOVE watching the guns of the week! SO much better then going to FB to see what people are doing! Love all the steel pistols you have coming in!

[@randyadams03]

We have 2 Bersa thunder in .22lr and 380acp reliable for defense. Inspired by the Walther. Walther is the standard. But the Bersa's are affordable. Thanks Mark

[@adamadams6740]

The smith hand gun I think is really close the the one Vick Mackie used in the Sheild but think his was the 9mm,cool gun

[@almanji8046]

Really nice presentation. Very well done. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and information. Stay blessed always. 🙂👌👍🙏

[@Bigdaddylobo1]

I just picked up a FEG PA-63, and when you showed the PPKs it became clear how much of a clone of the PPK the FEG is.

[@qceaz11]

Good Morning My Brother I Live In Fort Wayne I'm Definitely Gonna Have To Drive Down There To Shop

[@adamadams6740]

Love the Deer Slayer,my dad has one I sold mine like a Putz,I need another!

[@tenchraven]

On the PPK, it is an excellent (when made in Germany or France) pistol. Cutting edge in its day and a revolutionary design. My grandfather carried one on four continents for years and it was kit gun after coming back to the States to stay. But by today's standards, well, to quote Major Boothroyd, "Nice and light. In a lady's handbag." :P Of course, it's also like 85 years old.

[@RonWayneOfficial]

Very informative! Love your content. 👍🏻

[@timk03]

Gret video Thank you for sharing

[@DreadnoughtHvor]

I unironically open carry a 357 DE as my EDC. It's a pretty accurate pistol and offers higher capacity than 357 revolvers.

[@JG-xt9io]

Great selection and history as always enjoy these videos. Always enjoy lever guns, was at a show yesterday was looking for either a older pump 22 or a lever gun but prices were too high , I did find a smith model 31 for a decent price with box. Person selling it said it wouldn't open or close easy , so I got it for a decent price. The ejector rod was coming loose so I retightened it and it's fine now

[@bertofehr]

3rd Gen Smiths ROCK!!!

[@doranmaxwell1755]

I have an interarms PPK in .32. It is heavy for what it is. Modified PP mags will fit giving 8-9 rounds. The one thing is tho.... the thing is a tack driver at 25 yards if you do your part and it never fails. I have not seen any other small semi auto that shot as well

[@keithmcconnell3165]

Thanks Chris, great video.

[@jamesharrison2374]

Another great video! Keep them coming.... As for the FR-8 back in the late 90’s when I worked in the German gun business in Darmstadt, the company I worked for received a good number of them. A few had been modified and had been upgraded with real HK G3 style rear sights. They were cool, and the prices really low. By time I moved to the US hardly see them, and are quite expensive.

[@johnnail532]

Awesome looking colt

[@IEraiderfan]

Thanks for sharing your video PPK James Bond Lol Stay safe👍👍👍

[@ftdefiance1]

The Spanish rifle is also a great shooter.
Smith and Wesson actually produced a guide in the form of a circular slide rule allowing.multiple attributes to be entered i.e. finish, caliber, barrel length, weight etc.. to determine what model number to order

[@michaelragains4938]

Another excellent vid. Always looking forward to the next one and never disappointed. I remember the 3rd generation S&W and when the hit the surplus market . The 1076 FBI 10mm was a bargain at $350. Wish I would of bought 2 or 3 of them.

[@beretta92x93]

Great video

[@phambelton1]

Very enjoyable - thank you!

[@ronultralimitedguns635]

Thank you for what you do Chris! I really enjoy your video's!

[@geraldgilmore1177]

Love the older s w autos great show keep it going

[@jbloun911]

The over usage of the word ‘cool’

[@thelastpitboss]

Great vid!

[@brianp9503]

You are good at this !

[@eljayess]

Love the smith & wesson .

[@beretta92x93]

PPK -Police Pistol Kurtz. Kurts=short. Great video

[@derekp2674]

Or was it first Kriminal?, see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_PP#PPK

[@4element3]

As also great reviews and knowledge. Love your videos.

[@shamilton2719]

Thanks for the history lesson 😉

[@Davidmoore-xy6wu]

Since seeing the rdp hellcat In a local shop I fell in love for whatever reason he has a hellcat rdp with no reddit tho and it's still going for 899 so I'm trying to find one with a hex for not over msrp

[@rickjackson3631]

What would you value these firearms to be given most States don't have ammunition for them? Half price? Let's say you can get ammo but the ammo is double or more. Does that make the gun worth more too?
Bayonets are where the real accessory is. Your long gun can make a great club and spear

[@michaelmcatee221]

Nice PP...KS!

[@aaronsue2133]

Great episode

[@lazarus1867]

Damn who ever sold the hellcat RDP didn't even give it a chance it just came out... either they wanted something else or they really needed the money bad. But I assume they wanted something else cuz I'm sure they would of just got a loan at a pawnshop... but I fully understand both.

[@finerbiner]

I have a Bersa 383-A and it shoots good groups but for $250.

[@wapiti3750]

First!

[@terryholloway9930]

Great video thanks enjoyed it

[@brendangriffin1791]

Cool beans. 🙃

[@dallynhedrick3566]

I saw an Ithaca 37 at my gun store today for 300 dollars wishing I would have bought it

[@rhino67]

I just noticed the barrel /slide is marked 44 MAG

[@calholli]

I know it would take more editing.. but if you would put in pics of the other guns you are referring to when giving the back history, it would make your videos so much better. For some reason, I tend to not retain the info of a verbose presentation without some sort of visual; there's too much info to take in and I have nothing to link it to in my head. If you had pictures, it would be so much funner to watch, easier to learn from and your channel would likely take off in subs, given how much you know about most firearms.. (just saying)

[@JermInTheSouth]

I wish you had a way to sell these online. Im really interested in that Spanish FRA.

[@richardkiser2289]

Gunbroker.com search for Blaze_ball he sales most of his used guns there. They will ship them to your favorite FFL dealer for you to pick up. Blaze_ball is his seller name.

[@MrJdog1987]

Man I want that fr8

[@Xoarkitty]

Love how your web site doesn't show any of these available for sale, so too bad so sad out of state buyers.

[@juniorb931]

i guess the answer is a no

[@smoraptor]

Huh, I always thought the K in PPK stood for "Kurz"

[@jascan1489]

I want that 9mm colt, if you were local I'd give you 1500 now.

[@Torqd_Off]

I'm wondering if that device on the muzzle of the Hellcat is a compensator or a stand-off device? Maybe would work as both???

[@timdybala7127]

good!

[@drewbowles3637]

hehe you said pp a lot ;)

[@waterhead1359]

Was that Crockett's S&W on Miami vice?

[@philliplatham4256]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@markprice6911]

Polizei Pistole Kurz (german for short). Although, kriminal might have been might have also been synonymous with detective (i.e. criminal investigator)?

[@derekp2674]

Interesting. I'm sure i first ever heard it as Kriminal, long long ago. Wikipedia also seems to think that: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_PP#PPK

[@Johnny2Smokes]

Just went to your website I couldn't see your inventory on the site. Am I blind or would I need to come to your store to purchase

[@MarksmanTV]

Hello, we do not currently have inventory on our site. It is something we will work on for the future. Thanks!

[@richardkiser2289]

Check Gunbroker.com he usually lists them there. Blaze_ball is his seller name.

[@mr.excitement689]

LE-? Ha, that’s a term from the past. Who needs law enforcement these days. (Sarcasm)

[@angelvalle9963]

Do you do out of state sales ? I'm intrested in the shop but I leave on fla.

[@larrybailey9427]

Very interested in Ithaca deer slayer dunno how to communicate w u about it don’t want to break any rules

[@ronschramm9163]

Call his store or go to the website, which should have the stores email. If you are not in Indiana, you will need to have it sent to an FFL if you buy it.

[@richardkiser2289]

He might have it listed on Gunbroker.com. Blaze_ball is his seller name.

[@larrybailey9427]

What’s the phone number or the listing for the shop?

[@p00lboy]

google is your friend👍

[@MLMWarriors]

Google marman gun westfield indiana

[@richardkiser2289]

Blaze_ball is his seller name on Gunbroker.com

[@herewegoagain...]

I bought my Desert Eagle new for $1600 right after everything went to hell. The expensive stuff wasn't as impacted as your standard Glocks, which were backordered almost a year, I had no trouble getting one.
