This Gun Doesn’t Miss!

This guide details how to modify a Canik Rival-SFX for significantly reduced recoil, drawing from expert insights on aftermarket parts. The Civilian Tactical host demonstrates how components like a Wasatch Arms magazine extension, flared magwell, thumb rest, Cyelee red dot, and a custom compensator contribute to a flatter shooting platform. This setup is ideal for competitive shooters seeking faster follow-up shots and improved control during rapid fire.

This review covers the Olight XR RMR-style red dot sight, highlighting its unique multi-reticle system with switchable 2 MOA and 6 MOA dots, and a 32 MOA ring. The optic features an RMR footprint, integrated backup sights, and a novel external battery pack for recharging. The reviewer demonstrates its mounting on a pistol slide, discusses its performance with astigmatism, and provides a range session showing the zeroing process.

Ben Stoeger, a professional shooter and instructor, provides a critical review of the Taran Tactical Innovations (TTI) Ballet Glock 17 Gen 5. He analyzes its performance, particularly the compensator's effect on recoil and flatness, and the TTI-enhanced Timney trigger's reset. Stoeger compares it to other high-end compensated pistols, offering insights into its value proposition at its $4,500 MSRP.

This guide, drawing from Louisiana Firearms, focuses on assessing pistol ergonomics, including grip, balance, and trigger pull. The speaker, an experienced shooter, highlights how a well-balanced pistol can reduce wrist strain and improve control, especially in competition. The review emphasizes the importance of an excellent out-of-the-box trigger and a superior grip suitable for various hand sizes.

This video discusses the Staccato warranty service, detailing personal experiences with multiple warranty claims over approximately 80,000 rounds across four Staccato pistols. The speaker emphasizes that while claims might seem frequent, many are for minor issues like loose screws or worn parts. The discussion also touches on optic mounting issues and the differences in warranty support compared to other manufacturers.

This video reviews the new Double Alpha (DAA) Edge Timer, comparing it extensively to the Kestrel timer, which has been a long-standing favorite for its ruggedness and reliability. The DAA Edge Timer is presented as a direct competitor, offering similar features and build quality at a significantly lower price point. Key similarities include the use of sealed Lithium 123 batteries, robust construction, and loud buzzer volume, crucial for competitive shooting environments. The DAA Edge Timer also features five programmable presets for buzzer delay, tone, volume, and par times, mirroring the Kestrel's functionality.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
