"Please Note: From June 11th to August 23rd 2024, I will postpone new posting til after. Summer Vacation with my daughter into town. Regular schedule postings will continue after. Til then, Welcome to my Channel with over 800 Videos! The basics: My thoughts, views, opinions, experiences, hobbies, collections, my environment. Check out my Playlist and see if my contents is of interest to you. Thanks for your time.
I scrolled for an update video but didn't find one. I'm thinking about KAC 9006 fog light bulbs for our '02 Lexus LS430 but Auxito LEDs are supposed to be pretty good too I think but a litttle more expensive on Temu. So what do you think about the KAC lights, are they as bright as you'd hoped and how are they still performing?
I think you're good on .22. I took all my ammo out of the cardboard. I regret it now, because I didn't keep even one box to label the outer canister with. You know, zero'ing compatibility problems. Anyway, good looking lot of brass sir.
@@cavjack Unfortunately I did not make actual build videos for my kayak. I live in an apartment and don't have a garage or work area to setup studio video installs. Plus I do my installs over the time that I have which is off and on. If you have this same stock kayak in your collection and is interested in the same build that I've done, you can contact me directly and I can provide more info on getting parts, tools, and specs. Do note that I have yet to test mines in the waters.
Besides the limited practicing time on it, like all my other guns, I get use to, use of, functionality of it to enjoy and make it my own. Over all the gun is part of my collection and armory.
From the experienced that I have with this. It is comfortable in decent weather under 85 degrees. That being said, I am in hot Southern California Summer weather reaching 90 to 100+ heat. Since it's all plastic, it softens when hot and bends/collapsed, rendering it useless lol
Thank you for describing and showing how it loads and unloads.... That is what is unique and no one seems to Detail it..... I want to see how it works with non-protruding rim ammo..
All good. That is one of the reasons that I chose this 9mm revolver. Most others, have to use external moon clips. I just didn't want to hassle with extra parts just to load and unload to make the gun work. Plus losing those moon clips makes those guns useless or harder to use without them.
@@notaprovee Exactly!.... As I feel. Would love.to.own a 9mm revolver but the only other one I know of other than the.pitbull,... Is the smith n Wesson 569. Those are about 1500 if you can find one....
@@thefleaflop I went thru the same thing, but California handgun roster also limited my option, but was lucky to have the Pit Bull in the 2023 roster. It is a 3rd the price of the S&M 9mm. Are you able to get the Pit Bull?
With my experience, I didn't mention the price, maybe I just forgotten, since I had pre-book a bit of time in advance and forgot how much I paid for it. Also prices fluctuate on the time of bookings, the days of bookings, and the conditions of bookings. Example: If I booked this 2 months in advance, prices may had been lower; big price difference for weekend dates starting Thursdays to Sundays, as for lower prices from Mondays to Wednesdays; if I book directly from hotel websites, they are usually more, but from travel websites, they have lower deals. So pricing fluctuates.
Can also use your semi auto magazines for reloading your 9 mm revolver,a 15 round capacity magazines gives you 3 reloads ,by thumbing the round from the magazine to the revolver cylinder, same with the 40 s&w and 45 acp also works with 22 lr caliber revolver and 22 lr caliber magazines 👍💯🤔 give it a shot 😆, some gun stores have a mix of miscellaneous magazines for sale for various calibers and pistols, or buy some cheap ones, don't matter if you don't have that particular pistol it will still work for a speed loader and extra way to carry ammo 🤨🇺🇸 also a 6 or 8 round 22 magnum revolver and a 30 round magazine for a keltec pmr 30 works great,, but you can get 6 round and 8 round speed loaders for them but a 22 magnum magazine is another option for those revolvers
That is a great idea to use extra pistol magazine for storage and reloading. I have Glocks 19 & 26, so carry spare 9mm for all. Thanks for the pointers.
Envoy tandem kayat 106 DONT BUY, BIG HEADACHE I bought this kayat for my grandson and me to enjoy getting on the water. It has been a disaster since we bpought it and it has resulted in terrible experiences with my grandson. Cons: seats are bad, tolerate no more than 20 minutes no places for rod holders unable to place adaptations(seats, rod holders, motor mount). You cannot attach bolts to the top of the kayat to place attachments onto kayat,) The company has poor service, spent 3 hours contacting the company and they were no help in resolving anything Super heavy(75 lbs), need large truck to transport. Unable to drill into kayat per company or you lose your warranty Cost about 200.00 to ship back to company Pro's: You have 30 days to try it and return it to Walmart (my truck was in repair so I had to wait past the 30 day limit and unable to return kayat) Cheap but unable to use
Replied from another video: "It's unfortunate to hear about your headache experience with the Envoy, in my area it's the Kokanee. For me, I got this kayak to be able to add and modify it from a leisure tandem kayak to a fishing equipted kayak. Yes I agree, the stock seats are a pain, and it's not fishing ready. As you can see in my other videos of my kayak, I have made it into a fishing kayak that may hold up to 2 adults and 1 child, plus equipment. I admit that I haven't taken it to the waters yet, but hope to do so soon this summer. I will try to post more videos of my experiences."

Where are you located and where did you purchase your BPS from? Is 12.50 for 50 after taxes/fees? Me being in Riverside CA, I am curious. Our prices for ammo, to my opinion here is still high compared to others outside the State of Cali. I haven't seen BPS advertised here, but other brands I have seen them as low as $14.99 on sale for a box of 50 of 9mm. But after taxes and fees, almost $17.50.
If you are talking about the "lever" just on the side below the hammer and right side of the cylinder, it is the cylinder release switch or lever. You pop out the cylinder to load your ammo and extract your spent shells. This revolver does not have a safety/ lock.
Sugarfly321gaming8…… if you pull the hammer back to the first click and leave it there, (about a quarter pull of the hammer) it locks the hammer and trigger in place until you draw the hammer completely back. That’s the only ‘safety’ you’ll get on a revolver.
A 38 Special is a type of ammunition caliber/ round. Mines is a 9mm Luger or Parabellum. Google search "38 Special Ammo" to see what the ammo looks like. Search 38 Special Revolvers" to see how the guns look like compared to my 9mm revolver.
Hard to resale loose ammo without boxes. Most can't afford 2000 or even 1000 once ammo is unable to buy at stores but they will buy a few box's at a time..... when I don't buy to resale ammo they go straight into mags, loose does me no good, ever.
Thanks. I have not taken it onto the waters yet. It's still a water virgin lol. I hope to take it out ocean fishing soon this month of May 2024 and try Rock/Spider crabbing, and do some salt water fishing in Long Beach Marina/Harbor area California. I will make videos of my trip and experience, good or bad, success or failures of my kayak. Stay tune.
@@FC2ESWS Sounds similar to the reason I got this kayak and mod it to fit my needs for the summer. My daughter is 8 years old, and I'm planning trips with her and her grandma whom is 70 years old. I'm hoping that my mods are comfortable and works with all three of us in it with some room for gear and equipment. May I ask, where are you located and near what type of body of waters?
@@FC2ESWS AZ, nice! a lot more freedom than compared to here in CA. You all are only a STATE away (Nevada, Arizona). As for your kayak plans, let me know if you do decide and get the same kayak or similar tandem kayak and want to do similar mods/add-ons. I will help refer you to the adding of parts and accessories same or similar to mines. You can shoot me a contact email in my Channel.
I am in California, Gen 5 Glocks aren't on our handgun roster, so our only options are Gen 3 models. What State are you in? If you have Gen 5 available in your State, then your debate will be on cost difference, features, after-market or spare parts availability. From what I know, Gen 3 are specifically still being manufactured for California. Without California, they would have discontinued Gen 1-4, and only have Gen 5.
Depends on what mount that MCarbo made their mounts for. I think they have made various mounts for different rifles. That being said, MCarbo did make a specific red dot flip mount for the KT-S2K Gen 2 which is the gun that I have. It attaches by M-Lok mounts.
I haven't tested it in the waters yet, but it's the hope of my ideas of install and mods on it. Stock, the Kokanee kayak is already 36 inches wide, so standing up on it seems to be do-able. As for it's tracking, I hope to test it out soon and will let you know. I may end up installing SUPs (fins) if tracking is tough. We'll see how my project goes.
I tell you a better container if you get the tip hot and separate the metal from the plastic you can cut the wavy part off another shell where it's been shot and you can fit the metal part you took off and but it on the plastic where you cut it off it will make a waterproof container for fire starter or what ever you want
That's a great idea, plus it gives me more storage space when using a 12GA shotshell rather than fitting a 20GA shot shell inside. Thanks again for your idea tip. 🤜✌
With the BPS 9mm, its inconsistent loads is high, I say 1 to 2 in 10 when firing from semi-autos. So they are dirty rounds. Them being just for plinking or last resort when there is nothing left.
So the way you to make sure the bullet is lined up is to slightly pull the hammer back, to make sure you're prepared for self defense? Has there been any concern with cartridge creep (bullet protruding slightly from the case) the way there's been so much talk with the Ruger LCR? Has this gun eliminated that?
For your first question of pulling the hammer back to lined up the the round for self defense? I personally don't do that, unless I am ready to fire the gun at my target/ intruder. What you just describe is cocking/ priming the hammer into quick release trigger to fire. As for lining the round into position, you don't need to cock the hammer. The cylinder have indentation cuts on it, in which when you pull the trigger to first cycle, it automatically aligns the round with the barrel. As home defense, when you are aiming at the intruder, just pull the trigger all the way, automatically double cycles fast. For second question. I don't hear or follow much with the Ruger LCR, and I don't own one, so I have little to no knowledge of it or the talks around it. As for the concern of the cartridge creep (protruding slightly out from the case), I'm gonna try to see if I understand this. Are you talking about the bullet protruding out from it's casing, as in not seated properly? Or are you talking about the round protruding out from the cylinder chamber? Overall, with my 9mm PIT PULL, I haven't had problems (except for forgetting to lube the ejection rod and cleaning he chamberings and cylinder), so I can say that this in question is not of concern to me.
@@notaprovee Thanks for explaining how the trigger works. As for the "bullet creep", some were reporting that as they fired the lcr, it would violently shake, actually causing some bullet heads to loosen from the case by the 5th round. I'm not sure how many times you've fired yours yet, but I hope it goes well and let us know how it all performed.
That is interesting to hear about the Ruger LCR. I don't know of anyone with it or any other 9mm revolvers. I think the LCR uses external moon clips. As for mines, I've fired personally 4 times, 5 shots each, so total of 20 rounds. Others have shot it with about a total of 20 rounds. Over all, not experienced in the "bullet creep" thing with my PIT BULL.@@mikem.2078
@@justinkayz8995 I figured it was "Crimp Jump". I've heard of that happening with most 9mm revolvers that uses external loading cartridges/ quick loaders/ moon clips. I am no mechanical engineer, but an external rotary device that holds the rims of a cartridge with hard combustion force may more likely causes friction with the ammo. With my PIT BULL, the built in moon clip/ ejector is solidly conformed within the cylinder reducing frictions. I have not experienced Crimp Jump on my gun, however my usage/ practice on it is limited. We will see in the future of it's performance later.
I store a couple boxes and a lot loose. A 50 can weighs 60 #s filled loose and isn't easy to lug around. With a couple boxes that I can grab from it, means I can just grab 100 and go. As seen here,ru-vid.comv2RgZ2pSqlM With 2500 rounds that's 52.2 # in the bullets themselves BTW.
Yes, weight is heavy with fully loaded loose ammo rounds in a 50 cal metal ammo can. Ideally that type of storage is meant for stationary storage, not mobility. For grab and go, it's best to keep rounds in boxes of 50-100, then your can grab several boxes and pocket/bag them for on the go.
I prefer to keep my ammo separated by manufacturers lot number if purchased or with the full recipe and date if reloaded. That way if there is a problem or a recall I can identify the ammo. For instance, these lots of Winchester 9mm have been recalled. SC03LD44, SC03LD45, SC03LD46, SC03LD47 SC13LD1, SC13LD6, SC13LD18, SC13LD44, SC13LD45, SC13LD46, SC13LD47 SC52LD44, SC52LD45, SC52LD46, SC52LD47 SC62LD44, SC62LD45, SC62LD46, SC62LD47 SC72LD44, SC72LD45, SC72LD46, SC72LD47 SC92LD44, SC92LD45, SC92LD46, SC92LD47 SD10LD1, SD10LD3, SD10LD6, SD10LD12*, SD10LD18, SD10LD46, SD10LD47 SD50LD1, SD50LD3, SD50LD6, SD50LD11, SD50LD12, SD50LD18, SD50LD46, SD50LD47 SD60LD1, SD60LD3, SD60LD6, SD60LD11, SD60LD12, SD60LD18 SD70LD1, SD70LD3, SD70LD6, SD70LD11, SD70LD12, SD70LD18 SD80LD1, SD80LD3, SD80LD6, SD80LD11, SD80LD12, SD80LD18 This lot of Sig Sauer recalled, Lot No.: JDAR0815 WINCHESTER, 22 LONG RIFLE CALIBER, SUBSONIC, LOT NUMBER EK72 22 Rimfire Wildcat s LF03, LF12, LF22, LF32, LF41, LF42, LF52, LF62, LF81, LF91, LF92 and so on. Have a nice day.
Hmm. My 50cal cans hold exactly 1000 rounds boxed nice and neat in 4 stacks of 5. I have one of 147gr LAX and one of 115gr capital cartridge from 2A Warehouse.
Thanks for letting me know that you are not enjoying this video, I know you are not the only one. I think there are others. Maybe future videos that I do on my guns, first view is to show that they are unloaded, would that ease your nervousness?
@@notaprovee Yes that and not muzzling yourself. There are a lot of new gun owners watching U-tube videos and I think experienced gun owners bear a responsibility to start them off safely. Take care.
Relax Susie! It’s just a ƒµçkin video and if the dude shot himself, youtube wouldn’t allow it on their platform! Grow a pair of balls or get back under your covers where you can hide!
425 lbs weight limit is the stock usage limit with no other weight accessories or passenger loads. Considering this is a tandem kayak, say two adults average weight 175 lbs each. That's already 350 lbs. Factor in the stadium chairs, paddles, accessories, another 25 lbs. That is now 375 lbs, from 425, you are left with 50 lbs of maximum gear weight which includes fishing/outdoor gear: rods and reels, tackle box, food/water/snacks, safety items, etc. See how the weight is limited. In my case, adding the outriggers/ stabilizers, I figure it gives my another 50 lbs, in which I need when I am planning an outting with myself (175), my mom (125), my little girl princess (50), and gear.
@@notaprovee nice I'm 218 trying to get down to 200 and my buddy is 180 is so I think it'll work but some modifications like a trolly motor I wanted will probably be too much weigh unless it's just me which I love about this kayak is the added width for balance
Same here, a trolly motor is of future possibility. The kayak is very wide with the inside seating width of 22"-27" wide. the kayak itself is 36" wide for stability. If you do get this kayak and plan on using it for fishing or camping out water expeditions along with another person (tandem), may I suggest adding outriggers to increase stability and weight limit. You may have enuff wiggle weight room for trolly motor and battery. By the way where are you located?, curious to know the availability of the body of waters that you can use your kayak in. I am located in Riverside CA, so my bodies of water are in Southern CA coastal beaches, harbors, bays, and in fresh water man-made lakes and reservoirs. @@carlgoggles1970
That would be a disaster if one of those boxes was from a bad batch i try to avoid mixing batches of ammo and brand, cans are cheap I've got bad batches before I'd rather buy the extra cans than deal with that
That is a reason also that my rounds are still stored in there appropriated boxes. This video was just for demonstration purpose only. Each brand of boxes was from batches that I got in cases, so hopefully not too messed up.
So I just realized with my pittbull 9mm the front sight has a little line at the very bottom of the front sight, take that line and level it with the back sight, bullseye every time. Do not take the top of your front site and level it with the back sight!! You will be off and below the bullseye every time.
Thanks for the info, I will try that next time. What was your distance from your targets? Also to note that the front sight have horizonal lines to help with elevations control. That additional line that you had mention will help in my elevation depending on distances, but it won't help with my windage control lol. That's from the trigger and control of the shooter. Thanks again for the info. 🤜✌
If you look down on the front sight, there should be a different colored square at the bottom of the front sight, but once you look through the back sight, that different colored square becomes a line on the bottom of the front sight, that line needs to be leveled to the top of the back sight for accuracy. I was about 15ft away while shooting today.
Yes I see it. 15ft distant shooting is quiet close, about an average across from a wall room to the hallway wall inside a home. When I shot mines, it was at an open outside range, my targets was 25 yards (75ft) out haha. Maybe that's too out of range for a revolver/hand gun/ short barrel. @@marcaycock247
I replied from another posting video of mines: "I would say, not so good for semi autos. In my Glocks and Keltec S2K, There had been occasional failures: failure to load, fail to eject, fail to fire after single hammer strike, and inconsistence blowback pressures. Some rounds seems to be duds, but after reloading into magazine and they fire the second time. I think it might be the harden thick primer that they use. They are cheap, so they still make good use of for plinking/ target shooting. They work great in my PIT BULL 9mm Revolver with no issue. If they are really cheap compared to other known target shooting ammo brands, I will get more, but as of now, I think I got enuff 9mm lol. "

i have 10 of those round lights 8 up inside my house so i don't have to turn the big light on walking in a room or hall ways at night and 2 on charge so when 1 runs out its easy to swap
I have 8 at different contact points, so in the middle of the night, my pathway is lit at each contact areas. The way I placed them is using those sticker velcro strips and wall mounting them. When battery power is gone, I detach them from the wall and get them charged, less than an hour, and reinstall them.
