Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Savage Stance XR and Ruger SR1911 firearms mentioned in the PRO GUN live stream?

The Savage Stance XR is a micro-compact pistol ideal for concealed carry. The Ruger SR1911 government model features an aluminum frame for reduced weight, making it more comfortable for all-day carry compared to traditional steel 1911s.

What advice does the PRO GUN instructor give regarding gun store pricing and online sales?

The instructor advises checking a gun store's website for sale prices, as in-store prices can be higher. He noted an instance where a manager had to be called to match the lower online price for a firearm.

What is the speaker's stance on weapon-mounted lights for firearms?

The speaker strongly advises against weapon-mounted lights, considering them potentially reckless. He believes they can compromise the shooter's position and that a handheld flashlight offers more tactical flexibility and safety.

What are the speaker's recommendations for 357 Magnum revolvers?

For 357 Magnum revolvers, the speaker suggests looking at models with 5 or 6-round capacities, specifically mentioning the Ruger GP100 and Smith & Wesson revolvers as good options, while noting smaller-capacity revolvers might be insufficient.

What is the speaker's opinion on the Sig P320's safety and accidental discharges?

The speaker believes that approximately 99% of Sig P320 accidental discharges are due to user error, primarily during holstering or unholstering, rather than a defect in the firearm itself. He dismisses claims of the gun discharging spontaneously.
