This video discusses frame compatibility for the Ruger RXM, focusing on the Fire Control Unit (FCU). The speaker advises against using aftermarket trigger kits due to reported tolerance issues, suggesting that direct compatibility with Gen 3 Glock components is limited and not turnkey. For trigger modification, a lighter striker spring is recommended as a safer alternative. However, compatibility exists for external components like the slide lock lever and magazine release button.

This video discusses the slide lock levers on a Timberwolf frame, noting their compatibility with Glock Gen 3 and 4 parts. It highlights the factory extended slide lock lever, previously seen on Glock 34s, and praises the overall feature set of the frame for its adaptability in custom builds.

This discussion debunks several common firearms training myths, including the '3-second, 3-yard, 3-shot' rule, the idea that shots should surprise you (which is an ND), and the overreliance on 'slow down to get your hits.' The speakers emphasize that proper training involves pushing past comfort zones, mastering modern controls, and understanding that real-world scenarios often demand speed and efficiency, not just slow, deliberate accuracy.

This video discusses stoppages encountered with an AIM Surplus Gen3 Glock build. The primary issues reported were failures to extract, initially attributed to potential extractor spring tension, and later, random action locking to the rear, particularly when operating one-handed. The presenter replaced the plunger spring with an OEM Glock part to address the extraction failures.

This video provides a technical overview of the Beretta Model 1934, an Italian service pistol. It details its lineage from earlier Beretta designs, highlighting key features such as the selector lever functioning as a safety and slide lock, the addition of a halfcock notch, and the steel backing for the grips. The presenter also explains the heel magazine release and the open magazine design, noting its capacity and how the gun locks open on an empty magazine via the follower.

This video details modifications made to a Sig Sauer P226 Legion, transforming it into a 'battlefield pickup' aesthetic. Key enhancements include a Bar Sto barrel with a 11-degree crown and triple slot ports, a factory red dot cut, and a custom single-stage trigger conversion. The slide lock lever and thumb safety were also modified for improved ergonomics, alongside a dished grip for easier safety actuation. The 'copper wash' finish is achieved through a proprietary technique to simulate wear.

This video details the slide lock reload technique for pistols, emphasizing proper setup and execution. It covers the debate between using the slide lock lever versus manually racking the slide, with a focus on reliability and practical application.

This video discusses holster compatibility for the Staccato HD, noting that a QVO Tactical holster designed for a VP9L with a Surefire X300 may fit the HD. It highlights that the HD's thicker slide width prevents it from fitting current Safariland holsters for the Staccato platform. The speaker also demonstrates the operation of the slide lock lever for reloads.

This video provides an overview of the new Staccato HD4 pistol unveiled at SHOT Show 2025.

This video demonstrates an advanced one-handed technique for clearing a Type 3 pistol malfunction, specifically a double feed. Developed by Geauga Firearms Academy, the method involves using the slide lock lever to hold the slide to the rear, relieving spring tension. The magazine is then partially released, allowing the jammed round to be ejected before reinserting the magazine and chambering a new round.

This guide details proper grip technique for a Glock 19, as instructed by a professional tactical instructor.
