This guide details the installation of a CSRG Competition Spring & Follower Kit into a Staccato G3 20-round 9mm magazine, enabling a capacity of 24 rounds. The process involves disassembling the original magazine, replacing the spring and follower, and then testing the modified magazine for reliability. This modification is noted to disable the firearm's slide lock on empty, making it a specialized tool for competitive shooting or specific concealed carry setups.

This video debunks the myth that an AR-15 round would 'blow off' an ear by conducting a practical experiment with pig ears. The results show that even high-velocity rounds like 5.56mm and .223 Remington, as well as heavier calibers like 45-70 and 8.6 Blackout, create small, clean holes through thin tissue, similar to a hole punch. The host explains this is because the tissue is too thin for the bullet to transfer enough energy for catastrophic cavitation, unlike in ballistics gel.

This short showcases high-performance 'Space Guns' from the Open Division at the Double Tap Championship.

The video emphasizes the advanced technology and customization involved in top-tier competition handguns.

Tim Herron, a USPSA Grand Master, explains efficient iron sight usage by contrasting traditional front sight focus with a target-oriented approach. He advocates using the rear sight for gross aiming and the front sight for fine-tuning, likening it to a backhoe vs. spade. Training with red dots can improve iron sight performance by fostering target focus.

This review compares the Staccato P, Springfield Armory Prodigy, and Bul Armory Tac 4.25, focusing on manufacturing, ergonomics, trigger, and shooting dynamics. The Bul Armory Tac 4.25 demonstrated superior reliability with tested ammunition and offered the crispest trigger. The Prodigy was the softest shooting but had a noticeable grip safety gap and feeding issues. The Staccato P offered a good balance but was also susceptible to feeding issues with certain ammo.
