Most Reliable 9mm AR EVER | Tactical Rifleman

This review compares the CMMG Banshee and Angstadt Arms UDP-9 9mm AR-15 style pistols. The Banshee excels with its advanced Radial Delay Blowback system for smoother recoil and higher velocity, while the UDP-9 offers a lighter, more modular platform with traditional direct blowback. Both feature essential AR-9 requirements like Glock magazine compatibility and LRBHO, making the choice dependent on user preference for performance versus customization.

This review compares high-end 9mm AR pistols like the CMMG Dissent and Angstadt Arms UDP-9 against a budget-friendly Matador Arms build. While the premium options offer advanced delay systems and features, their high price points are questioned. A modular build using a Matador Arms upper and a folding lower provides similar utility for significantly less cost, making it a compelling value proposition for those seeking a compact, effective 9mm AR platform.

In close-quarters combat, drawing a pistol can be dangerous as an opponent can easily grab the firearm. A tactical knife offers a safer alternative, allowing the user to create space by targeting vital areas like the carotid artery or kidneys. This space allows for a safe transition back to a firearm. The video demonstrates this strategy using a Glock pistol and a fixed-blade knife.

This video details crucial footwork techniques for Navy SEALs during Close Quarters Combat (CQC). It emphasizes 'economy of motion' and the 'long step' technique for balanced entry into corner-fed rooms, ensuring immediate engagement capability. Proper footwork prevents exposing vulnerable side plates and maintains a stable shooting platform.

This video demonstrates a clever modification of standard military cloth bandoliers to increase their magazine capacity. By releasing a hidden white string, the pockets expand, allowing them to hold one or even two 5.56mm magazines each. Special Forces operators pack these expanded bandoliers with other essentials for rapid emergency resupply in the field.

This ballistic gel test compares 9mm Barnes TAC-XPD and .45 ACP Cor-Bon Pow'RBall. The 9mm achieved deeper penetration (13-14 inches) with consistent expansion, while the .45 ACP created a larger wound cavity and significant energy transfer but slightly less penetration. The Cor-Bon Pow'RBall's design enhances feeding reliability in 1911 platforms.
