Why Your Suppressed Pistol Won’t Cycle (And Should You Even Run One?)

This guide details the process of installing a suppressor on modern semi-automatic pistols featuring a tilting barrel mechanism. It emphasizes the critical role of the Nielsen device (piston) in maintaining proper firearm cycling despite the added weight of the suppressor. Proper preparation, including removing barrel O-rings, and maintenance, such as lubricating the piston with white lithium grease, are highlighted for reliable operation. The instruction comes from Justin at Palmetto State Armory, demonstrating expertise in firearm accessories.

Retired Green Beret Sergeant Major Kyle Lamb shares his top five favorite firearms from his extensive career. The list spans iconic historical rifles to modern, versatile platforms, highlighting reliability, combat effectiveness, and personal preference. Lamb emphasizes the AR-15 as the most effective modern rifle due to its modularity and adaptability.

Amber and Frank from Exile Armory in Weaver, AL, showcase a diverse inventory of firearms for St. Patrick's Day. The video features a wide range of handguns, rifles, and shotguns from various manufacturers, including suppressors, tactical pistols, and hunting rifles. They also provide pricing and some technical details for many of the showcased items, highlighting new arrivals and popular models.

This guide outlines five handgun selections for a hypothetical invasion scenario, prioritizing durability, reliability, common 9mm caliber, and magazine capacity. The choices include the Glock 19, CZ P-01, FN 509 Tactical, Sig Sauer P226, and Beretta M9/92FS, all chosen for their combat-proven designs and practical advantages in harsh conditions. The instructor emphasizes real-world utility over theoretical 'best' options.

This video provides a practical demonstration of the HuxWrx Flow 45M modular suppressor. The instructor showcases its easy modularity, allowing for quick configuration changes from a long to a short setup. Sound tests are performed on both a .45 ACP pistol (FNX 45) and a carbine (Grand Power Stribog) in different configurations, highlighting the suppressor's performance in various scenarios.

This expert analysis delves into why the US Army ultimately rejected the Glock 19X for its XM17 Modular Handgun Trials, despite its performance metrics. The primary reasons cited are Glock's failure to meet the stringent modularity requirements and a less favorable 'acceptable' rating compared to Sig Sauer's 'good' rating. The video highlights the critical role of a truly modular system, where a single serialized component (like Sig's Fire Control Unit) allows for interchangeable frames and slides, creating multiple configurations. This contrasts with Glock's approach, which would necessitate purchasing multiple firearms for different sizes, leading to significantly higher costs for the military.

This video demonstrates the 'ghost load' technique for the Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun, allowing for an extra round to be carried in the chamber. Clint Morgan explains how to load the magazine tube, chamber one round, and then perform the ghost load by holding the bolt open, placing a round on the feed ramp, and releasing the bolt. This method increases the total capacity to nine rounds (7+1+1) for the 12 Gauge shotgun.

This Henry 'New Original' rifle chambered in .45 Colt offers a surprisingly manageable recoil, defying common expectations for the caliber in a lever-action platform. While not traditionally a plinking round due to cost, the shooting experience is exceptionally fun and smooth, making it a noteworthy classic American firearm.

This short film demonstrates a tactical night vision shooting drill led by night vision instructor Jay Pedro. The training emphasizes aggressive movement and proper technique for effective engagement under low-light conditions, utilizing high-end gear like Daniel Defense rifles and Nocturn Industries NVGs. The film also touches upon home defense scenarios and the importance of secure firearm storage with devices like the StopBox.

Clint Morgan outlines the top 5 guns for an apocalypse scenario, prioritizing reliability, parts availability, and versatility. The list includes the Glock 19 for its ruggedness, the Remington 700 in .308 for hunting large game, a .22LR rifle (Ruger 10/22 or Henry) for small game, the Remington 870 12-gauge shotgun for its simplicity, and the AR-15 as the ultimate survival rifle due to ubiquitous ammunition and parts.
