Boy I wish all videos were this well done ! Honest from the heart, integrity, top notch experience & good audio. would not surprize me if "screw tube" puts you at the bottom of the list instead of the top ! Keep up the good work 👍
Maybe you should have had the company president try the splits, ya know, somebody that doesn’t have as good of skills as you sir. Cleaning toilets has strengthened your wrist….
I had to go back and watch this for the 4th or 100th time just for you brother! “and more for me” As I am waiting on my XC and just need the good news you speak! Thanks and please keep up these outstanding videos! ps- I made sure I was subscribed, notified, and liked 😂 Twice.
Of the million or so times I have used locktite and had a failure it almost invariably stemmed from oil in threads ahead of the locktite. Metal parts need to be almost surgically clean for the curing to be entirely successful.
I feel blade-tech puts lots of resources in tek-mount, bt system doesn't compatible with safariland well before, but when they launched tek-mount, they even made a bt safariland adapter to their tek-mount system, this didn't happen on tmms
I had a hot day on the range last August in Florence, Texas and didn't drink any/enough water. Did not end well for me. Good thing I had health insurance.
@@toddprobasco9728 Yes, we already do. Some light bearing models are paused until we bring the 2024 light bearing models on line as well. But non light bearing models are available for both versions now.
Having shooting my new xc, P and the atlas nemesis i actually prefer the xc. I feel personally it checks all boxes between carry and competition. I guess im a loser because i choose to run irons and enjoy the challenge but to each their own😅. Nice coverage on the guns tho.
Ultimately, everyone has to make their own choices based on their needs/desires but hopefully this video serves to help guide them, rather than take my opinion as gospel. The XC checked those same boxes for me for a several years and it is such a fun pistol that you can’t really go wrong with it. There are enough areas of my own shooting skill that challenge me though and I prefer not to add iron sights to that list. More power to ya for sticking with the “old ways”. 😉
@@hammerarmament I have the Hakko FX888D, I set it at the highest setting which gets up to I think 899 F. Kinda expensive just to remove loctite but it's pretty useful if you also need to solder things.
Yeah that seems a bit light. If that’s the only gun you shoot, you get used to it. Especially if you are putting in a lot of practice. Jumping between guns with different trigger weights makes it a bit trickier. I’ve gotten pretty used to my atlas trigger with practice. HD is a maybe But I still wouldn’t feel comfortable carrying with it that light.
@@ctowen5222 I mostly ran 147 gr from a few different manufacturers. 150 gr syntech was noticeably softer but not enough to justify the price. 124gr felt a bit faster and not much more felt recoil.
Good info but one thing, the standard P is a 4.45” barrel, the older 2019 and newer Heritage Ps (with full length dust covers) are 4.15”. Doesn’t make a ton of difference but that’s at least what they advertise. That said, I’d love an Atlas but it’s hard to justify the difference in cost, I have a P I use in 3 gun and a new C on the way, those are hard pills to swallow pricewise but they shoot so much better than the next step down that I’ve felt they are the sweet spot for price/performance or as you said, the laws of diminishing returns.
@@milspecmike8440 good catch. My brain was stuck on the original model but the current standard P is longer, as you said. The threaded version is longer still.
Wow, great video and staccato discussion. I feel similarly about the “P” love it will do anything reasonable. Yankee Marshall bit was hysterical, I will not ever watch any of that content period.
This whole "argument" over thumb rests is silly at best. Its like telling someone how they should like their steak cooked. To me, if a gun feels comfortable in your hand, chances are you're going to shoot it better. I have a few guns that came with a rest (CZ TSO,TSO2, and a Sig P226 X5 Legion) so they still have a factory slide stop, and the thumb rest fits the gun better than just throwing a aftermarket rest on.
I think the problem exists where people are being led to believe that it will give them a performance improvement. But it’s really not that cut and dry. It *may* lead to an improvement in recoil control, especially if you have a poorly developed grip. But it isn’t necessary and also comes with drawbacks. Comfort is certainly subjective but I don’t find that the rest was any more comfortable than not having it at all. More power to ya if you did. But it isn’t a given that it will be more comfortable or will give you better performance. Most people will be better off simply focusing on improving their grip fundamentals and spending more time practicing.
@@rockie071 nothing. There was a spam bot impersonating us a couple days ago, replying to every comment on every video. It should be purged now but for future reference, any giveaway/prize comment on RU-vid is a scam. Don’t click or reply to them.
We generally stick with what is listed on our website. It’s been quite a few years since we’ve had time for custom projects. Doesn’t hurt to shoot an email over to us though. Brent@hammerarmament.com
I love my Hammer Armament Thunder HD Holster! Will the Loki be available for a left-handed draw? The website currently only allows 'Right' to be chosen.
I see where you are coming from, but going slow won’t help you get faster. Think of it this way: do race car drivers prep for a race by making slow corners around a parking lot? Or do they practice at high speed on the track? If you want to speed up, you gotta speed up and learn what that feels like. And pay attention to what breaks down. From there you can back off the speed slightly to a controllable level again, but you don’t want to go too slow and cause regression. In this case, I was trying to push reload times lower than .90 seconds shot to shot( never made it btw but did get close). “Slowing down” to 1.00 or 1.10 second is about as much as I’d want to go. The basic progression goes like this: start off at what I’m capable of for a bit, then push the speed. If the wheels fall off, try and notice why and back off a tad until consistency comes back. Then push speed again while making corrections. Rinse, repeat as needed. The purpose of the video is just to show that the process isn’t all successes. If you want to get better, you will fail along the way. And sometimes that’s funny.
