This comprehensive review by Preston Moore, an expert firearms instructor, details the inspection and rigorous 30-shot accuracy testing of a Colt 6520 16" pencil barrel. The analysis includes detailed measurements, bore inspection, and comparative performance data with Federal Gold Medal 77gr Sierra MatchKing, PMC X-Tac M855, and ADI World Class 69gr Sierra MatchKing ammunition, providing valuable insights for AR-15 enthusiasts.

This video features an NRA-certified instructor discussing various firearm training techniques, emphasizing the benefits of dry fire practice and laser training systems like Mantis X. The instructor covers topics such as proper grip, transition shooting, and the importance of consistent practice for defensive scenarios. He also touches on firearm maintenance, ammunition choices, and legal aspects of gun ownership in different states.

This guide outlines a strategic approach to building an ammunition stash, moving away from panic buying towards a disciplined, tiered system. It emphasizes maintaining separate layers for carry, training, and long-term reserves, while also highlighting the benefits of reloading, smart training techniques, and local acquisition methods to ensure consistent access to ammunition regardless of market fluctuations.

This video critically evaluates the use of laser cartridges and similar dry-fire training gadgets. The instructor argues that these tools can lead to detrimental habits, such as 'looking for the dot' instead of focusing on the target and allowing sights to naturally align. He emphasizes that true dry-fire training should replicate real-world scenarios, including drawing from a holster and performing realistic trigger presses, which many laser systems do not facilitate.

This video provides expert guidance on improving the draw to the first shot, emphasizing the importance of isolating the draw and sight picture acquisition from the trigger press during dry fire. Instructor Joel Park advocates for drawing to a stable sight picture and assessing sight movement before pressing the trigger, rather than rushing to meet a par time. He details specific sight picture criteria for different target difficulties and stresses the value of strict practice for real-world performance.

This video from Line 45, hosted by Sully, analyzes the current downturn in ammunition sales despite lower prices. The core argument is that economic strain on consumers, rather than a lack of interest, is the primary driver. Shooters are shifting towards more cost-effective training methods like dry fire and reloading, and are making more calculated purchasing decisions. The industry is adapting by focusing on reloading supplies and core calibers.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of the DryFire Mag for realistic firearm training. It highlights how the tool allows users to practice trigger control, sight acquisition, and follow-up shots without racking the slide, which is crucial for simulating real-world scenarios. The instructor emphasizes that this method is more natural and efficient than traditional dry fire techniques.

This video provides a strategic approach to ammunition acquisition and management, moving beyond reactive panic buying. It outlines tiered stockpiling, the economic and independence benefits of reloading, and leveraging technology for efficient training. The advice emphasizes building systems for long-term preparedness rather than simply buying boxes, especially during current market conditions of oversupply and reduced civilian demand.

Ben Stoeger reviews the Ace VR virtual reality shooting training system, purchased by himself. He discusses initial user feedback, his own reservations about its utility compared to traditional dry fire, and the ordering process, including an upgrade from the Meta Quest 3S to the Meta Quest 3 due to community recommendations.

This guide outlines a three-level progression for practicing quick draws and improving firearm accuracy at home using the Mantis X system. It begins with basic unloaded dry fire, progresses to using a laser training cartridge with a target app, and culminates with the Mantis X device for precise shot timing and movement analysis.

This YouTube video title, "Consigo SER MAIS RÁPIDO que o Reset do Gatilho? (Mantis X)", translates to "Can I be FASTER than the Trigger Reset? (Mantis X)". The title indicates a focus on shooting speed and trigger reset, likely in the context of firearm training or performance improvement. The mention of "Mantis X" suggests the use of a specific training device designed to analyze shooting performance, including trigger reset timing. The video is expected to be a practical demonstration or analysis of how quickly a shooter can achieve a subsequent shot after the trigger has reset, utilizing the Mantis X system to measure and potentially improve this speed.

This video by Sully from Line 45 analyzes the current market trend of declining ammunition prices with stagnant sales in 2025. The primary drivers identified are economic strain on consumers, a shift towards smarter training methods like dry fire and reloading, and a diminished fear-based purchasing mentality. Shooters are now prioritizing value, efficiency, and strategic planning over panic buying.
