As a physician involved in the shooting sports, I wanted to provide a resource for people who are getting started in both single stage and progressive reloading. I have played golf since I was eight years old and could have probably played in college on a scholarship--and yet I love and enjoy the shooting sports so much more! In the videos I share which presses and equipment I've purchased and why, and also the optional accessories that I found helpful and those that weren't really worth the money. I am a USPSA Limited Division and NRA F(TR) Class rifle competitor. I also have the following NRA certifications as a Lifetime Member: CRSO, as well as Basic Pistol and CPL Instructor. I've been involved in the shooting sports for the last 30 years. I am in no way an expert, I am just presenting what I do and why I do it based on my experience and the advice I've been given by competitors that were what I would consider masters of reloading and shooting. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! I have the Atlas Nemesis in 40 cal to shoot Major Power Factor in USPSA Limited Division, the Hyperion in 9mm with iron sights, the Titan in 40 cal (as a backup to my Nemesis), and of course the Artemis as per this video. I've shot just about every competition handgun and for sure my Atlas guns are better than Staccato, CZ, and especially all the over-the-counter production guns (Sig, Smith & Wesson, Glock, etc.). Why I purchased my first Atlas gun (the Nemesis) was because I called Adam, who is basically the guy that makes everything run there, and he spent 3 hours on the phone with me on a Sunday to tell me about what I needed to have in my competition gun. He would always say "No matter which gun you end-up going with..." so he wasn't pushing their brand. Also, for $250.00 you can ship them your Atlas gun, and they'll do a full disassembly and deep clean and replace any worn parts (any broken stuff like a slide or frame is on you) and then send it back to you FedEx overnight. So that's a pretty good deal. Besides all that, it's the flattest shooting most consistent, comfortable, and accurate handgun in the world--it's a hand-crafted work of art. I know they're expensive, but they have a 6 month wait time, so you can pay it off over those months. It's like putting a gun on layaway. The Honest Outlaw on RU-vid agrees with me that they make the best guns in the world.
Thanks for watching! Yes, it does use a flathead because you can use the rim of a 5.56 or 7.62 case to tighten it or loosen it. That's the way the slot is designed.
I bought an 18" Barrelled Hellion and mounted a 1-6x LPVO. The entire setup is just about 2" longer than my 10.5" barrelled AR-pistol, which is incredible. 18" range vs 10.5" in a much shorter package.
Why Do they only give you one spring? When you change from small too large primers do you have to swap the spring? I tried to order the spring and it was $3.50 but $23 to ship it. WTF???
Clamp and cover waste of money, add loctite to original screws...easy fix. Just for looks, that sro looks goofy, only my opinion, feel like it needs a P2 or mps
Thanks for watching and your question! Those plates are the ones that came with my Canik. So inside the gun box that you get with the gun, is the entire kit with all the plates you need for any optic on the market!
@@docgsreloading7985 welcome. I just got the TTI Combat and can’t fit my Burris Fastfire 3 on it. I’ve seen that people file some of theirs down. I guess that’s something I’ll have to do. Unless you know of a specific one that does my red dot.
@@lionelcortez3115 Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I have no experience, nor have I seen anyone with the TTI version of the Canik yet at a competition! So I can't help. Maybe someone can offer some comments.
Thanks for watching!! Those are Red Hill Tactical. The best holsters I've ever owned. Very stiff, fits the guns like a glove, and never scratches the gun or causes any problems with the finish. Fully adjustable tension.
Thanks for watching and your question! This holster will NOT work with any type of barrel extension. I double checked and there is no room at all at the muzzle. I don't know if they have a holster for the exact same gun but with a threaded barrel/comp. For sure, this model won't work for that.
a bond arms video that is well worth watching. i suggest to stick with handgun specific 410 rounds. remove the trigger guard. get other barrels to match your favorite handgun calibers to make your b.a. derringer a true backup.
Thanks for watching! I have seen those, and they do look cool. It’s just that the SN is on the upper, so I don’t know how that must get transferred over the the new upper so you don’t get into trouble with BATFE. Also, I hate to be all nostalgic, but I really like how the PS90 looks stock-and by stock, I also mean the short barrel.
@@docgsreloading7985 ---The XF-50 uppers have to deliver to an FFL, so they must have their own SN on them. BTW, they have accessory shrouds to cover 16" barrels. I wonder why they don't have a provision to install a light and a LASER next to the barrel---It would not be a major design change.
@@elultimo102 Oh, that makes sense. Then the FFL must do the SN transfer from yours to the new one so they don't think it's a second gun. What I use is the Surefire X400 weapon light and laser combo. I just snaps on to the picatinny rail that I installed on the right and left side of the receiver. I can easily activate it with my left thumb. I'd look into that if you want. The nice thing is that I can snap it on and off without tools.
Thanks for watching! That is the Red Hill Tactical holster. Those are the only brand of holster I use for any competition. They’re absolutely fantastic! Check out this video I posted about them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r-K7pzoj0qk.htmlsi=AR72DIiHco-thl8w
Thanks for watching! WOW! I'm sorry to hear that. On their website, it shows there a dealer in Glendale, AZ. I don't know if that's within driving distance for you. I got my stuff from a store in FL when they shipped it to me. Some items do come from Slovenia, and even then I got it within 3 days and it was cheap.
That's exactly what I would recommend! Those rings are so easy to install it's ridiculous. Plus, I have them on my Barrett 82A-1 in 50 BMG holding a dedicated Nightforce scope and have never had an issue with them loosening.
Thanks for watching and your question! Those are Barrett scope rings and available through their online store. I’ve just about changed all my scope rings over to the American Rifle Company brand. Those are much nicer and easier to mount with absolutely no problem with the scope twisting when tightening the ring. The Barrett ones in this video are the usual design and more difficult to mount the scope in. Please see my video on the Schmidt-Bender scope review I did where I comment on the American Rifle Company’s rings. Thanks again and I hope this helps!
That bubble level you have on your scope . It’s that called the Flatline Ops ACCU/LEVEL Articulating Scope Level Matte? I might get that next for my Barrett.
@@clos4209 Thanks for watching! Yes, that is the one I have on that scope. I like that you can do a fine adjustment from the closed or open position to get the level perfect. Plus, it’s nice that you can use it it in either the open or closed position since it’s easily visible. I have that product on pretty much every scope I own.
Thanks for watching! The Surefire light comes with an M-Lok and Picatinny mount option. I used the M-Lok option and mounted it to the slot located on the front left side of the shotgun.
Thanks for watching! Check out the link in the video description. I got the Limbsaver through Amazon, since they had it in stock and got it to me the quickest.
Dude, get the HB Industries mini comp/thread protector. It's 100% the way to go. Also check out their low profile optic mount. Love my PS90. I just got the Huxwrx Flow 22ti and am hoping to compare it with my Dead Air Mask HD this weekend.
Thanks for watching and your suggestion! I checked out that HB Industries website and it has some really cool stuff! For suppressors, I had tried my AB Little Bird and their A10 (in 5.56) as well as my SilencerCo Switchback (has 4 configurations/lengths). I ended up just dedicating my SilencerCo Switchback and leaving it in my PS90 case. The A10 was overkill, the Little Bird was too long, and the Switchback in the medium length worked perfectly! I'm on my 14th suppressor already, and will probably order more in the future for sure!
Thanks for watching and your question! Here's the link: www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/si-bm4-hayl-rail It didn't come in FDE when I ordered mine--maybe I would have purchased that color.
I'm doing a project rehabbing a field gun into an HD/camp gun and am planning on adding this choke, I'm planning a paint job with Aluma-hyde in od or fde in a similar paint scheme of barrel,magazine tube,receiver and trigger guard in green and furniture/acc. in black.. Seeing yours convinces me to go ahead as planned!
Nice set up. I ordered an Athena in November 2023, and was quoted 8 to 9 months on the build. It is currently on step 4 of 10. I sent them a Holosun 509T to mount on it. I currently carry a Staccato P with a 509T mounted on it. Did you say the dot cover was from Gene's ? I want to see if they make one for the 509T.
You won't be disappointed! I love my Artemis. People have even said to me how flat they notice it shooting at events. Here's where to get your red dot cover: dreamplastics.com/ They have the greatest products for pretty much every sight--I even got them for m EoTech's that I have on my AR's. If your Atlas gun has the co-witness sights, then you'll have to cut a small notch in the back of the cover to get it to fit. Not a big deal. Oh yeah, they also quoted me 6 months and I got it in 5, so that's maybe what will happen with yours.
@@joebishop7909 Yes, it's an SKB case (and it takes a lot for me to say this, since I have well over 20 Pelican cases--and other brands) that the SKB is MUCH better than the Pelican. The one from Atlas has very stiff and protective, custom cut, foam and great latches that must be unlocked from a bottom spring loaded lever (Pelican cases don't have that unless it's a much more expensive case). Plus, the Atlas SKB case has the 2 levels, so now I can take my gun safely to an event and I can have all the tools and all my mags in the same case and I don't have to remember a separate mag pouch. I bought 3 other SKB Atlas cases for my other 3 Atlas guns--it's just the best way to safely carry the gun. I'd even let TSA put it on a plane since I know it would be safe from any baggage handler!
WOW! Is that stupid. Again, those knee-jerk 'feel-good' laws they pass have no impact on anything, except law-abiding citizens getting firearms. In my state, they just went backwards 25 years, now if you don't have a CPL, you have to go get a background check at the local Sheriff's department to purchase a handgun, not a long-gun, just a handgun. So you have to have a double background check to purchase a handgun now--wow great idea. These idiot legislators make such stupid decisions. So if you're angry at someone, and you wait 7 days, you'll change your mind and 'cool-off'--right? Stupid.
@@docgsreloading7985 I agree 100% they need to stop infringing on responsible gun owners rights and start making laws stronger and more severe on the people who break the law with firearms. Automatic 50 years in prison with a firearm related crime. That's what would make people think twice
I've been looking for an ideal WML for the 1301 so this helped a lot, thank you. Note: If you can't get a matchsaverz, look up roth performance xtra shell caddy. There's also the mlok matchaver by Oscar Delta (Canada based). I chose nord components for the metal barrel clamp and tube cover. GG&G stuff is great and they ship fast.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, it's not cheap, but that light will last me the rest of my life even if I run it over with my truck. My theory that my mom taught me is, you get what you pay for!
I took it out for the first time running drills with buck , high velocities bird and slugs. Tried some low velocity too. I used the push/ pull method with the stock recoil pad and felt fine the next day. I ordered the Limbsaver. Does it make much difference even with the push pull method ?
Thanks for watching and your question! Having shot both the stock and the limbsaver butt pad, I'd have to say that yes, regardless of technique, the limbsaver makes a significant improvement and is worth the investment.
Just ordered the A300 ultima patrol in multicam I can’t wait to get it! I have the grey and black version already but multicam is a whole other level 🙂👍🏼🇺🇸💥
HKS #10 speedloader works for the K6S. Crimson Trace also makes a full sized grip without the laser that has an enclosed backstrap. I think they make it with the laser as well, got it through Kimber.
You're going to love it! That gun is one of the ones I have in a 'go bag'! For me, it had to be something about flush with the top mount, so I went with a Holosun 507. It works perfectly! Let me know what you end up getting for it.
Thanks for watching! I don't know if you can do that, but it does come in an all black version. The gold accents actually grew on me over time and now I really like them. It probably wouldn't be inexpensive to change those parts over.
I just finished prepping a bunch of WIN 9MM nickel plated, that's a process as their crimped. It's police issue, its like that WCC military stuff. But they're free, and in great condition for reloading now. I have run across those bi-metal Fed cases, same issue.
I dig it, I wonder if berettas KO system for the hunting model a300 would work on the patrol model stock. It's just a hydraulic insert that replaces the spacers. Had one on my a350 I used to shoot before I got my a400.
