Stribog SP9A3 Revisit and "Upgrade Program" Update

This 'Gun of the Week' review highlights the Ruger RXM, a 9mm striker-fired pistol that leverages Glock Gen 3 architecture. It features a Magpul-made polymer frame, a chassis-style fire control group for modularity, and an optics-ready slide. The RXM is presented as a strong contender in the concealed carry market, offering customization options and compatibility with Glock magazines.

This video provides a tour of the Scheels ammo section, highlighting the speaker's go-to ammunition choices for various calibers and purposes. It covers preferences for 9mm training and self-defense rounds, 5.56mm range ammo, and specific recommendations for .300 Blackout, particularly for suppressed use. The speaker also touches on shotgun shells and general philosophy for .380 and .22LR, while noting pricing inconsistencies and the benefits of bulk ammo purchasing.

Roger Barrera from QVO Tactical provides initial impressions of the new Alpha Foxtrot Romulus 3.5" Comp pistol, acquired from BattleHawk Armory. He highlights its superior performance compared to the full-size model, particularly when firing Super Vel 9mm Luger 115 grain ammunition. The demonstration showcases excellent control and accuracy through a Holosun optic, suggesting the pistol offers significant value for its price point.

This video provides a practical demonstration of the IWI Jericho 941 pistol, including a detailed look at magazine loading with a '+2' extension and live-fire sequences. The presenter, exhibiting competent firearm handling, showcases the pistol's operation with Fiocchi Range Dynamics 9mm Luger ammunition. The demonstration covers preparing the firearm for shooting and observing its performance on steel targets.

This review details a ballistic gel test of Seismic Ammo's 9mm Quakemaker +M 185-grain rounds. The test, conducted by an experienced firearms instructor, evaluated performance through a heavy clothing barrier using a Ruger PC Charger and an HK SP5. The results indicated significant tumbling and a complete failure of the projectile to expand, leading to poor penetration performance and a negative recommendation for self-defense.

This video review positions the Grand Power Stribog SP45A3 as a high-value, modern alternative to the iconic but expensive HK UMP45. The Stribog features a roller-delayed blowback action for softer recoil and a durable metal upper receiver. Its .45 ACP chambering and standard 5/8x24 threads make it an excellent, affordable platform for suppressed shooting, ideal for home defense or range use.

This video hilariously tests a heavily accessorized AR-15, dubbed the 'Zombie Carbine,' as a parody of excessive tactical gear. The build, based on a Smith & Wesson M&P15, weighs 23 pounds fully loaded with 270 rounds across nine magazines. It features multiple optics, lasers, lights, and is demonstrated with rapid fire, hip sniping, and Tannerite explosions.

This "ultimate AR-15 meltdown" test pushes a custom build to its limits, revealing key durability insights. The Faxon barrel ultimately burst after 830 rounds, but critical components like the Sharps SRC bolt carrier group and Geissele rail demonstrated impressive resilience under extreme stress and heat. The test highlights the AR-15 platform's robust design, even when subjected to conditions far exceeding typical operational use.

This video showcases an extreme full-auto durability test of a premium Definitive Arms VEPR AK, comparing it to a budget WASR-10. The VEPR AK demonstrated exceptional resilience, enduring 895 rounds before failure, significantly outperforming the WASR-10 and even a previously tested AR-15. The expert analysis highlights the AK platform's inherent durability and heat management characteristics, even under severe stress.

This video demonstrates the legendary durability of the AK platform by subjecting a Yugo M92 PAP to a 700-round continuous firing test. Despite extreme heat causing significant smoke and glowing metal, the firearm remained functional, showcasing Mikhail Kalashnikov's robust engineering. The test concludes with a cooling process and a tribute to the designer's legacy.
