Duration: 42:11

This podcast episode features The Yankee Marshal discussing various firearm-related topics and viewer questions. Key discussions include Beretta's Inox metallurgy, the Staccato HDP4's optic-ready design, and the durability of older revolvers like the S&W 686. The host also touches on the practicalities of carrying single-action revolvers and compares Taurus and Smith & Wesson revolvers.

Quick Summary

Beretta is reportedly reserving true Inox (stainless steel) for special runs, with many silver-finished guns now being carbon steel coated with ceramic or Cerakote. Older revolvers like the S&W 686-4 are safe to shoot if inspected and in good condition, checking for barrel obstructions, rifling, and lockup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Beretta's Inox pistols and their silver-finished models?

Beretta is reportedly moving away from true Inox (stainless steel) for many silver-finished models. These are now often carbon steel coated with ceramic or Cerakote, while genuine Inox is reserved for special editions.

What is the advantage of the sight placement on the Staccato HDP4?

The Staccato HDP4 features iron sights positioned in front of the RMR optic for co-witnessing. This setup is beneficial if the red dot is your primary aiming device, providing a backup sight line.

Is it safe to shoot an older revolver like a Smith & Wesson 686-4?

Yes, older revolvers like the S&W 686-4 are generally safe to shoot if they are inspected and in good condition. Check for barrel obstructions, decent rifling, and tight lockup.

How does the Staccato HDP4's sight setup affect its performance?

While the Staccato HDP4's co-witness sight setup (sights in front of the RMR) can shorten the sight radius, this is a minor drawback if the red dot is the primary aiming method, as the iron sights serve as a backup.

What is the recommendation when comparing the Taurus 66 and Smith & Wesson 686?

If budget is not a primary concern, the Smith & Wesson 686 is recommended over the Taurus 66, suggesting it offers better quality or value. However, the Taurus 66 is considered a fine gun if the price difference is a factor.
