We are Lucky Gunner. We sell ammo and shooting accessories on the Internet. I'm Chris and I make our videos about guns and shooting. Most of them are about self-defense techniques and gear, but sometimes I do other shooting stuff just for fun.
6:50 - There are actually neurological reasons (beyond limiting how much of your punkin haid you're exposing) for using the same-side eye - right eye/right hand, left eye/left hand. It has to do with compatibility of neural pathways.
I have a wife and 3 kids under 18. They don't shoot much. They can barely remember where the mag release is, to rack the slide, the safety, etc. When they pick up an auto loader for home defense there is a high chance they will simply forget to take the safety off or put one in the chamber, especially in panic mode. This is why I INSIST on revolvers in the home defense, loaded and ready to go. Just point and shoot.
Folks, this is perhaps the BEST "how to" video on the internet! Extremely presentable expert with excellent camera angles. I like how he took his time to explain different scenarios as well as offering outstanding techniques and practices. I came here because it has been a while since I used my AR at the range and this is my GO TO video as a refresher. Please pass this along to your friends who either own or are thinking about owning an AR! Well done Lucky Gunner Ammo!
I would love to be able to get a ruger 10/22 with a modifier. Unfortunately I live in a state where I can’t buy silencers. So I’ve started looking toward air rifles. The technology in just the past few years has exploded. The higher end brands are ridiculously expensive, but you can get a decent rifle for backyard pesting for a decent price, and I can use a modifier without permission from the powers that be. Easy as making an Amazon order.
My grand kids pestered me over carrying 1911s. The claimed I was a Fudd, for using an out dated platform. All my 1911s became trailer queens. I pull one out a couple weeks ago. Didn't realize how much I missed them. I'm going back to good triggers, and fat bullets.
Have you guys tested this in Knox gel blocks? I think that's what the FBI uses for penetration testing because it most represents the density of the human body - because - let's face it, this is what we're talking about. When I hear about penetration going over 12" I shudder. I don't know anyone who is much thicker than that. Yes, I know they exist, but they will still be seriously hurt and bleed out from these things. For home-based public relations, I want good grouping and 8"-10" of penetration within 15 yards (whose rooms are 45 feet across? I guess 45 feet for hallways) so all those little pellets are rolling around in there causing more damage - and I don't have to worry about accidently shooting my dog or spouse who might be behind the intruder. Regardless, i hope to never be in the situation to need it.
I just watched another video on this. Based on the two, I'm seeing a benefit for either improved or modified. My barrel seems to thin to tap so perhaps another barrel ?
Man i never considered this, before i got my lcr i had shit accuracy with my semi autos. Since i shoot both now at the range my accuracy definitely improved from before.
I had a German built model a few decades ago and it had so many problems. It never worked well. FTF and FTE . . .could not find a load it liked. Finally traded it - god what a POS. I'd take a Glock obver this and i HATE glocks!!! My Colt 1911 . . .Been shooting it 50+ years with countless factory and reload rounds. Changed the barrel 3-4 times and of course the springs . . .
4" barrel, 8 shots. CCI Mini Mag 40gr. I practice at 12 1/2 yards and at 25 yards. Cost, 100 rds less that $10. An afternoon, couple of hours, at the range, Relaxing.
Those magazines he talks about for 9mm in 556 mags are complete garbage and very very unsafe. They don’t eject a round from the chamber without the magazine in place. If you drop the mag and then rack the bolt back, it will not eject the round in the chamber. You MUST have the magazine in as well. If you are certain you will remember that every single time when it goes against everything else we all shoot, then sure try them out. Otherwise avoid. I have 2 and I turned both mags back to 556 and bought a Glock mag adapter for my lower instead. I also have 1 dedicated 9mm lower that takes Glock mags.
Pistols of the day, and many current offerings, could not survive a steady diet of the first offered 10mm loads. Pressures around 50,000 psi were typical of 10mm in the beginning, not even close now, generally around 38,000 max. Huge difference. Most of the 10mm today is merely a +P .40 S&W. No new info here, unless you just don't want to see it. How many current agents could actually qualify the FBI standards?
I happened on this video in May of 2024, and out of curiosity, gave it a watch. I had been "wheel gun curious" for a while, in search of a more concealable pistol for warm weather, but found the S&W Airweight in .38 unpleasant to shoot enough to gain proficiency with the short barrel. Since first seeing this video, I've found a Charter Arms Undercoverette in .32 H&R Magnum, and I am happier with it than I would be the Airweight. The store had some JHP ammo, but nothing else, so I waited until I could get some .32 long LRN to use for target practice. I'm seeing discussion that wadcutters would do better than JHP in terms of terminal ballistics, and may invest in a few boxes for defense use--not sure about the per-round price, though, at more than a shekel per round.
I bought one about 8 years ago LC9 s pro and I'll tell you one of the greatest handguns for compact send me automatic I've ever shot.. I shot rapid fire at 30 ft and hit everything in the kill zone.. I shot the target silhouette headshots and hit everyone rapid fire.. that day I put the gun through its paces and shot 400 rounds without one stoppage
Excellent review. More of a novelty than anything else in my opinion, and makes a great training round for the wife and kids. A the components and tools needed to custom tailor your own mini shells is available at "Balistic Products Inc" including tools to hand cut, load, crimp or even roll crimp your own recipes. I have manufactured some fairly hot mini shells with some excellent results.
Here in People’s Republic of California, 38 special is the more sensible cartridge for a snub nose revolver. The other cartridges Chris mentioned are hard to come by. Due to background checks prior to ammo purchases, online/mail orders need to be shipped to an FFL or gun store for pickup. I agree that small frame revolvers are carried by either the inexperienced or the well-trained. As one gets older spare tire around the waist makes IWB carry unpleasant. This is where snub nose revolvers really shine as one can carry in a pocket holster, inside the pocket of a trousers or jacket the choice is yours. During late fall or winter, with a small revolver inside your front jacket pocket and hands tucked inside gives one a very secure feeling.
ii feel confidant with my Walther p22q i have no medical limitations why i cant carry a larger caliber im a personal trainer. i just got what was in my price range and what felt better in my hand i could got a 9mm .380 but it was just something about the walther. i go to the range alot and i always have it on me. a gun is on 1 of many layers of my self defensive tool kit its not what i put all my trust in
average gun selfe defense range is like what ? 7 yards? and you will have to shot just a regular guy on foot ...so i don`t really see any logical reason to go above 9 mm for self defense reasons...9mm already has enough penetration to deal max dmg in terms of being deadly cuzz of it to anything below big game animals which means aditional penetration from more powerfull calibres would give you zero adventige ,just disatventiges that comes with extra powerfull calibres...military guys for example needs actually powerfull guns cuzz they have to be able to blast away no armor wehicles and people from long arse ranges and in selfe defense situations you have to deal with none of that lol
