Gunday Brunch: The incoherent mad ramblings of three gun industry millennials... I mean marketing professionals, very professional! Like the most professionally professional.
The social media content creators I've seen don't know competition shooting, in any form, exist. They are just talking into their phone repeating what others are saying. There's no creativity, definitely no research into prior Olympics and they wouldn't know Kim Rhode if she fell on them with her 6 Olympic medals.
Okay, okay I first have to tell that Back in the day no one ever did these type movies.... Film first started in the 20's with the silent era and so on and so on...... 30's 40's 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's and into the new age of 2000....so that's only about 80 years at this shit trying to bring entertainment to the current folks..... So when you hate on something of the past it makes no sense..... It all had to gradually take place...But actually I hate everything post 1994.... LOL...SO go figure
Yeah these were definitely great flicks in the movie house back in the day..70's...... I always chalked these flicks off as very 'High Quality' B Flicks and always loved Mr. Eastwood in what ever he performed.... Example here is I have the background DVD playing with this Magnum force movie while trying to view RU-vid fix it plumbing vids.... I constantly have to mute the youtube to watch this flick.... Yeah that's pretty grand mon
I would submit that a Gun Nut competes with the most radically modified, bespoke, hot mess of high speed low drag they can to shave 100ths of a second off their mediocre times because they claim gear makes you better and if you don’t run their gear you suck while Gun Nerds take a 1930s vintage Model 10 to Bianchi Cup and smokes the competition just to see if it can be done.
Can you still shoot this in single action by catching the hammer while pulling the trigger, or has SA been completely disabled? I'd love to be able to at least do that or throw in a spurred hammer if Taurus won't give us the damned option.
@@Gunday_Brunch That sucks, hopefully they offer a variant with SA. Not sure why they would offer the 2" 327 with a hammer and make the larger one DA only, kinda backwards IMO.
Suggestion: If you want to see an interesting vortex of nerds and nuts, hang around the venomous snake keeping hobbyist/semi-pro community for a while. There's a lot of social-psych Master's thesis fodder in that sector. Some of the savviest, coolest, most together people on the planet are there. So are a handful of the most toxic douchebags.
True story: I accidentally went to the reptile equivalent of a gun show, because my wife misunderstood what it was and thought it was a traveling animal exhibit that our son would like. Needless to say I believe you. -Caleb
Adjustable, competition kettlebells are a thing now. You don't need to have just one weight and you can have the same, high quality, competition scale kettlebell at all weights with just one. Kettlebell kings has a model and there's a couple others out there.
You lost all and any credibility to say single action is pointless. Stopped watching right after that lame statement. How many gun fights have you been in?
With a revolver? Zero. But I shot a wildebeest at 66 yards double action, and another one on the run at 25 yards double action, and a jackal at 35 yards double action, so I feel pretty comfortable with my assessment that you don't need single action, you need to get better at shooting.
Caleb knows I exist. I called him on his video wherein he ripped on Paul Harrel and he commented me back, he knows of me and my opinion of him. What caleb had to say about Paul Harrel was based upon ignorance and inexperience. The difference between the two is very obvious. Paul is humble and professional. Caleb is arrogant and very unprofessional.
WTF is Adult Money???? is money not money, does money not all spend the same!!! Oh! here is a fud comment, in my opinion suppressors/silencers suck! just because what suppressor/silencer companies charge for them, plus the tax stamp cost, and the little that they do, I mean to each their own.. I'm a poor and do not have $1k to drop an a silencer/suppressor, besides if I had that kinda money I would spend it on my wife or kids. I believe like the old saying goes, they are the flavor of the year, and next year, suppressors/silencers will be a thing of the past! till something new comes along and replaces them
I did the Colonel Santos(?) 50 yard zero where you take your rear sight apart and put the detent in a different slot so you can zero at 50 yards and the sight would still be calibrated using XM193 ammo. Since then, I've been using Magpul BUIS sets and zeroing everything at 50 yards and then checking my offset at 25 yards. Right now my main rifle has an offset red dot zeroed at 25 yards and the LPVO is zeroed at 100 yards. At my house, there are very few places where I can see anything past 100 yards without trees or hills getting in the way.
The Texas Rangers used Colt Peterson revolvers that were even more primitive than that. It had a separate load lever that was used when the cylinder was removed from the pistol. That led to the Walker revolver, which was a bit more stout. :)
Ummm, let me think...maybe because I don't have access to an outdoor range? Not everyone has the ability to just go to a 300-meter range. Sometimes, you got to do what you got to do.
That shooting at the belt buckle is from the civil war when black powder guns had a rainbow arch so from the factory so the revolver shot about a foot high at 25 yards.
4 minutes in and you are already missing reality. The 25 meter zero was based on the M16 with a 20 inch barrel and M193 with iron sights. Using a PDF of the operator's manual (Page 2-19) from that rifle shows that zeroing the rifle with the rifle set on the L (long range) rounds crossed over at 25M and 375M, flip that sight to short range and the crossovers are 62M (if I am remembering correctly, its been a few decades) under an inch high at 100M peaks at 3 1/2 inches at about 175M (decades ago) and drops to crossover again at 250M. Maximum vertical offset of 3 1/2 inches over 250 meters is great for a combat rifle. The funny part about that is that the 25 meter zero range predates the M16. Do a little digging and you will probably find that the M1 Garand was zeroed at that distance during WWII. The range is an effective distance to get people on paper, analyze groups and provides for a much smaller footprint for training area/range. Later you start talking ballistics and you invert the speeds. the M193 leaves the barrel much faster than the 62 grain M855. Shorten the barrel to 14 1/2 inches with the slower round and now you have a not so flat shooting carbine. As a matter of fact until the arrival of the 77 grain ammo, Army marksmanship relied on the 55 grain ammo out to 400M because it was more accurate than M855, If the shooting involved going to 600M the heavier 7.62X51 in the accurized M14s. Here is the reference: pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/MILITARY/united%20_states_army_tm_9-1005-249-10%20-%2011_may_1990.pdf
RU-vid has eaten this reply a half-dozen times. Anyway I never said M855 was faster than M193. I said M855A1 was faster out of a 14.5 barrel than M193. Subtle but important difference
What is not coming down in price is the CZ Shadow 2 Compact. Bought one anyway and now just trying to find extra mags and an extended safety, might be easier to find a purple unicorn.
When you do talk about the Africa trip on a future episode, talk about the logistics of what you did with your quarry post-facto. i.e. did you donate the animal to someone? Did you get to have X animal steaks that night and donate the rest? Will you have mounted trophy heads, etc.
If you’re considering going on an Africa hunt, definitely check out your local wildlife conservation group banquets. The northern Ohio regional director for Whitetails Unlimited consistently has hunting packages at the auction/silent auctions at his banquets. They tend to go for a good price, I paid $650 in 2012 monies for a two person hunt that included two animals per hunter and all food and lodging. Didn’t include airfare, but our whole trip ended up being cheaper than a guided elk hunt out west.
When Remington went bankrupt a couple of years ago, PSA bought the H&R name and found some really good guys to run it for them. They announced a bunch of guns at SHOT show last year. They are extremely authentic to the originals with very few allowances that had to be done to make them commercially viable.
My cousin does taxidermy. He went to an African safari and came back with a lion and mounted it standing up. Another dude I met years ago when I worked for BestBuy was about to go on two hunting trips on the extremes. One was an African safari and he was looking for a video camera that could handle the rough handling and sand because he had killed several camcorders and cameras in past hunts. Then he was going to north Alaska to hunt polar bears a few weeks after he got back from Africa.
'Pre-Series 80' might be a better way to label 1911 pattern pistols lacking the firing pin block, since that was the original design, way before the Series 70.
Having read all of Teddy Roosevelt's books on Africa as a kid it is still my top bucket list continent to visit. On the topic of dropping guns: We recently almost lost one of our retired fire captains to an AD caused when he tried to catch a loaded revolver that he dropped putting into his safe. He has a number of revolvers so I don't know if the one involved was drop safe. I was also ways taught to let the gun fall rather than trying to catch it for this exact reason. Thankfully he is going to make a full recovery, though he is now short some intestine.
