10 Things I'd Buy BEFORE Buying My 2nd or 3rd Gun.. 

I would also throw a first aid kit on the list.

Honestly bro you have one of the cleanest, informative, and original channels I’ve seen not to say other channel aren’t Great but the content and information that you push out is great for gun enthusiasts

You are 100% correct. I have so many friends who have 3 ARs and they don’t have optic, sling, light or even ammo to shoot. There is such a thing as to many guns if you can’t afford to set up the gun properly.

You had me at “less fudd shit going on”

Good advice all around, especially on the ear pro. I was a jet engine mechanic in the Air Force and always doubled up on ear pro (plugs and headsets) any time I was around a running fighter. I've still got tinnitus and upper range loss. Protect your hearing, folks!

Wish there was a video like this when I started down the rabbit hole of guns, great video

I never leave comments but I really like and appreciate your content. Well spoken, thoughtful and quality info. Firearm selection is fire too. Keep going.

perfect video to show a friend getting into the life style.

Holy crap this is so helpful! Thanks Man, I sent this to the kids for Fathers’ Day ideas. Trying not to fall into that trap of purchasing gun after gun.

Great info! It took years for me to realize the things you have summed up in 30 minutes. The crazy thing is, people that are new to the gun world might see this and take it with a grain of salt. If you are new to guns and watching this, follow this advice!

This video is fantastic. Haven’t really gone down the rabbit hole completely so its nice to know what the essentials/quality of life things are

Love the video. This is what I try and bring to my little corner of RU-vid. Very sober and informative perspective.

I am looking at getting my first gun and I’m so glad I found this video. Definitely going to use this info and links. Appreciate it a lot!

Bro......! This is by far the most comprehensive video on "what and when to buy" videos that rubies and upcoming Pro's can benefit from.

Ok this video is fantastic. Thank you for sharing this wisdom with us. I seriously feel like you saved me a looooooot of time figuring this out on my own!

First time coming across the channel and I already love the vibes. Waiting for the day you flip that camera around brother 🤙

Hey thank you so much. Just purchased my 1st handgun this is a huge help.

as a beginner, thank you for this and your other videos. really helpful!

Good video. Your point on renting ear protection and having staff look down on you is relatable. We've sll been somewhere that had a new shooter acting a little too eager and trying too hard, and you could tell the staff was put off by their actions. I'm sure I was like that when I first started, too. 😂

Great vid man, I think this is very good information for anyone who is just recently new to the gun world, not a lot of people will take the time to tell you this. Kudos !

100%!!! Im glad I found your site. You have a new Subscriber! Keep the good info coming.

You are in the next tier of youtubers to make it, keep crushin it! 🤘😎🍻

Good vid, glad it came out

Really great video. Very informative and you hit on things that may be overlooked like binoculars, range memberships and doubling up on ear pro, especially at an indoor range. I also like your positive message at the end.

Great info! Thank you. Just bought my first gun

Great list, especially club/range membership. Thanks Darius. 👍

been shooting since 1978...good solid list....id ad a large small driver kit with different screw heads, stars, allens etc and a trauma kit which is more than bobo kit you showed

Love this kind of content. Owning and using a firearm is a lot more than just buying a gun. There is a support system that must exist along with that gun to make you effective.

Great video. I would definitely add a first aid kit and tourniquet. Love the "Cheers" reference. NORM!

Super solid channel. Definitely was a great video. The bin of holsters is hilarious. It just happens man i didn’t think it would happen to me but it did

New to 2A and looking into getting my first firearm. Thank you for the video.

Great advice. I once built a lower receiver with an alen wrench, screw driver, hammer (roofing hammer), and a guitar pick. To my amazement, it still runs like a scolded dog. Lol.

Well done, good Sir!! I will share this video with the newer shooters I know. Also, I totally agree about holsters as well as good slings for long guns.

This was a great informative video. Keep this up. Subscribed!!!

super informational, super practical and so many great points. great work man keep it up!

Hey what a great video, that orange and black axis elite looks awesome! I really enjoyed you sharing your experience with all these things!

Well done, I get a lot of stuff including targets from Amazon. Your Local Gun Store especially if a Range is attached is priceless just like the Local Harley Dealer these places are 2nd homes. I too appreciate being greeted by name. Most of my favorite LGS Employee’s are Retired LEO’s so we have much in common. God Bless you and yours.

Really good comprehensive analysis/video. Thx

This was a dope topic bro 💪🏾💯

Great video. I had some of the same problem when I got addicted. I have a lot of the some tools you have. Less guns and more practice for sure.

This is some great advice!

Great list and anyone that doesn't have these things should take your advice. Especially about trying different types of ammo to see what works best for you and your gun. I try to make sure to put a full box of at least 6-8 different types of ammo downrange before deciding which works best. I also try to make sure I have put at least that much range time into a new gun before I buy my next one. Two things I would add to your list. The first would be a good soft case for when you are going to the range, especially if your first gun is a rifle/shotgun. Many ranges don't like you walking in with your gun in the open since it is hard for them to tell at a distance whether the gun is loaded or if you are a threat. The second thing I would add is a good first aid kit just incase something unfortunate happens. I keep a kit in each vehicle, one in my range bag and a compact one that I keep in my pocket. Make sure the kit has a tourniquet and preferably add some QuickClot gauze. Don't just have the kit, just like you need to train with your new gun you should take some first aid training so you are prepared if needed.

Informative video brotha. Keep going and training and putting out good content.

Good job, well spoken, I can't add much to other comments already here. Welcome to the community.

I really enjoyed this video. I started buying firearms and went full speed. I don't necessarily regret it because I've been very selective and did my research. But I also completely agree with your list. Everything adds up quickly especially the ammo and then comes the optics, lol. Thanks for the great input.

Great advice, thanks.

Maybe some type of dry firing equipment or system.. like a Dry Fire Mag or a Mantis... I think people often think dry firing is overrated but it can definitely help when you cannot go to the range as much as you would like...

Great video man

This was a damn good video Thanks man....

This is the first video I have seen of yours. These are some good ideas! Especially appreciate the part about being nice and welcoming to new people. I have been shooting for over a decade. I would add a few things. Good training especially if you plan to carry to protect yourself and loved ones. This training needs to be based on fighting with your gun. Extra mags. And have mags dedicated to for carry and mags dedicated for training. Finally a blue-gun so you dry practice without the worry of having to unload your gun all the time. Once again great video. Love the ideas and hour you kept it short. Will be subscribing if this is the stuff you post about.

Very good advice!

Keep posting I just subbed, I really like the content!

Good advice young man!

1 thing I would add, before you buy your 1st gun go to a range where you can rent and shoot all the guns your interested in back to back. 2. If your looking to buy a gun at a store and they have a range see if you can shoot it before you purchase it. Those 2 might seem like the same advice, it isnt personally if i would have heard the 2 pieces of advice I would have saved so much money and frustration.

Very good. I'm currently looking for a holster. I'm left handed with a Glock 43x MOSD Holosun EDC and a Nightstick Light/Leaser. I finally managed to find one will be ordering it end of the month. I think that with most of the modern striker fire pistols, your holster is basically your safety, get a good one that is comfortable.

Bought my first gun in 2019. Now on number8 😂. You’ve basically summed up everything I learned & bought in one video over the last 4 years. i definitely stopped buying guns so often when i realized i lacked on everything else (most of my guns were bought in 2020) & started investing in everything else. Like tools it took me like 4-5 hours to do a simple roll pin & aluminum magwell for my czp07, the punch I needed & had to use the wrong tools instead smh And for holsters I used a Texas 1886leather universal holster until i could afford custom kydex holsters I wanted still have that holster it’s useful backup

I 100% understand and agree with your sentiments about working on your own gun. I am the same way.

Great video. it pointed out some holes in my kit.

Awesome job. I also feel that multiple pairs ( Hot & Cold Weather ) shooting gloves are A must. I have seen and experienced some situations that could have been prevented.

excellent video, great work

Great list! Agree 100%. Also... I wanna know where you got that white benchtop. That is CLEAN!

Great topic! 💪🇺🇸

Those Harbor Freight organizers are great. I have one for my drone parts

so youre telling me i shouldn't buy another gun..

Awesome content brother and thank you for sharing! Great advice, great audio and picture, the only reason I see that you don't get the traction you deserve is overall packaging. Should you have a thumbnail guy and an editing guy, you'd blow up in no time! And sorry for the unwanted advice 😅

This video came in clutch and will be saving me some $$…… On to find ammo! Great video!

That digital pistol safe you got, I have the same one. They were doing a coupon code on Amazon and I snagged it for 25 bucks. I like it for basic desktop safe.

Great topic.

Great advice I have friends with lots of guns and they don't even know what the bullet gr means, let alone anything about ballistics.

Good info! I'm lucky to be in San Antonio where the gun culture is more open to newcomers.

Blacksmith tactical has some quality holsters for sure one of my favorites

Great video bro! Not gonna lie though, as a fellow builder/gun tinkerer I would love to see how your desk is set up. I was trying to look up those exact part organizers on Amazon and no luck.

Harbor Freight is where I’m thinking you were trying to say. Nice suggestions though and great video as usual.

Good video man. Nothing new but wanted to show some support. I Like your channel name.

I’ve had many hobbies throughout my life and I learned that if you want to succeed you have to do your research and invest in the best equipment you can. Everything you say is completely true.

Great Video 💯 agree 💪😎👍

Thank you Sir !!

I do everything your talking about my issue is having a gun club or place to shot especially my rifles

Favorite channel rn shit is fire

Great video!

Very informative, just got my sig in November and finally went shooting. Plan to making sure I look into this.where did you get the bins with the yellow frame?

Awesome video, these are great points to invest in. I wish i knew these before getting into this world. On a side note: Can you use your rear sight pusher for the front sight?

I keep a Raiseek cleaning kit in my range and go bags..think they're about 25 a piece.. As for ammo I buy 4 and 4 for every gun caliber I own a month. 4 to carry and 4 for range time a month that way when I have to go sometime without training I'm stockpiling. And when I'm training I don't have to worry about cutting my time short because I ran out of ammo. Ear protection I keep 2 pairs of walkers because let's face in the summer folks get sweaty and nasty..So I ain't putting some nasty ones on my head.

Great video 🎉

Ear pro is one that makes a big difference in comfort. Yeah you can get by with foam plugs but a good pair of electronic earmuffs is gonna be significantly better and a loaner set for bringing friends to the range can make an otherwise daunting experience a little more comfortable for them

Instructions unclear. I bought four new guns this month. Now I can't afford ammo and have nowhere to shoot. Great video! Well presented ideas and entertaining. Waiting on the next video, 10 things I wish I knew before I started handloading

Also, I do recommend people purchasing proper targets and different types of targets. It’s easy to shoot at the same thing over & over. Your skill and technique will definitely increase with variation.

My guy filming/editing/publishing in HDR. Good shit. Odd not everyone does this.

To be honest, I had a basic cleaning kit months before I got my first gun, and I picked up a couple of different holsters for it as well before getting it, as well as a good duty/range belt.

Solid set of recommendations. I'll point out for those who don't like to carry appendix, the Hunter Constantine belt is *only* for appendix carry, so if you're going to carry on your hip it's not the belt for you.

Great vid man, I think this video was meant for me😂 thank you though I never had a video where I agreed on just about every point and damnear every opinion you made I agreed 1000% So for that huge props bruv, cheers 🤙🏻

Good video thanks

Definitely a shot timer, and that’s something you have to to invest in. Can’t have a booty timer. 💯 great vid‼️

I enjoyed your video.

fire video bro

this is the unsexy truth that needs to be said. Message was so good, I let ads run.

Excellent video!!! I started out long guns and recently went handgun and have a lot from previous purchases. Holsters have been a pain but still purchasing. Gun community is hit or miss(ha). I have been looking for classes to take so that I can be a better shooter/gun owner. That is what I would add to all videos is get the training.

Werkz, Tier 1 are great holsters. I wanna get a T. rex Arms sidecar holster

What do you think of the otis cleaning kit fg-1000 do you think its worth to invest in that? its like 4 times the price of the one here for 40 but thats what the sdi gives out to their students

Great vid
