Glock 19 Banging Steel!!!

This video demonstrates a live fire exercise with a Glock 17 Gen 3 at an outdoor range. The footage showcases rapid fire engagement of steel targets, emphasizing effective recoil management and safe firearm handling. It concludes with a clear demonstration of the slide locking back on an empty magazine and a visual chamber check, highlighting essential aspects of firearm operation and safety.

Johnny Q demonstrates the importance of mastering iron sights for fundamental shooting skills, even with modern optics available. He emphasizes front sight focus during rapid target engagement and highlights how consistent iron sight practice builds a solid foundation for all shooting disciplines. The video showcases a Glock 19 Gen 5 in an outdoor range setting.

This video demonstrates the basic operation and live-fire function of a Springfield Armory Model 1911-A1 chambered in .45 Auto. It covers close-up inspection, magazine insertion, slide manipulation, and a live-fire sequence at an outdoor range, highlighting recoil and firearm function. The demonstration is performed by a hobbyist with signals of proficient operation and safe handling.

Justin from Palmetto State Armory highlights the significant training advantages of Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs). He explains how PCCs, when set up like larger rifles, allow for extended, cost-effective training sessions on steel targets at 25 yards, where larger caliber rifles might be restricted or prohibitively expensive to shoot frequently.

This video demonstrates a rapid target engagement drill simulating a Western-style quick draw scenario. The presenter uses a Girsan Witness Match X 2011 to engage three targets with three rapid shots, testing speed and accuracy. While achieving a fast time, the analysis highlights the importance of shot placement (center mass, spinal, or heart shots) over mere speed, suggesting multiple shots per target for effectiveness.

This demonstration showcases the basic operation of the Beretta PMXs, including magazine insertion, charging the firearm, and controlled firing sequences. The video highlights the use of a suppressor and a Holosun red dot optic for improved shooting experience. The operator demonstrates proficient firearm handling and a controlled firing sequence at an outdoor shooting range.

This head-to-head accuracy test compares the Ruger 10/22 and Marlin Model 60 .22 LR rifles. Both rifles demonstrated tight groups at 25 yards with various ammunition types. The Marlin Model 60 features a 17-round tube magazine and last-shot bolt hold-open, while the Ruger 10/22 is known for its extensive aftermarket support and 10-round rotary magazine.

This .38 Special ballistics gel test evaluated five different loads fired from a Smith & Wesson 642 snub-nose revolver. Only the Federal HST Micro and Hornady Critical Defense demonstrated reliable expansion, with the HST Micro showing a significant wound track despite shallower penetration. Lighter, expanding bullets appear more effective in short-barreled revolvers.

This ballistic gel test compares 9mm +P and .40 S&W HST ammunition. The .40 S&W demonstrated more dramatic expansion, while the 9mm +P achieved greater penetration. The host notes that .40 S&W offers superior terminal ballistics, but 9mm provides advantages in capacity and recoil management, especially in compact firearms.

This video provides a first look at the .50 Beowulf cartridge fired from an AR-15 platform rifle. It demonstrates the loading process, live fire, and the significant impact on steel targets. The footage highlights the rifle's side-charging mechanism and a Vortex red dot optic, showcasing the raw power of this big bore round.
