One Gun, Glock 19 After 14yrs 

Don’t be afraid of me then 😂

AMEN!!! 🤣

Especially with that level of holster wear!!

Or he is just a fudd who keeps it in a drawer

especially the man that only carries a glock 20 you ain’t hiding behind walls lol

@adrnacad3434 by end of year I should have just broken in my Toyota with 200k. Glock and Toyota, they just go together so well 🤌

There are just few of us 😊

Additional is a Seiko diver watch

@@roy993 I regularly wear an SKX007, but I've been enjoying my Casio Duro as or late.

I finally bought a Seiko King Turtle, and its my first and probably the last automatic watch. Had a Casio G-shock that my dad bought in 1991 had it till 2011 until it died. I bought the same year a Suunto Core all black to have in on the SF OTC (they allowed us a watch with an altimeter). Took this Suunto around the world on combat deployments, mountains, desert, oceans, jungles and is for me personally the best watch I ever owned. Had to open it couple of times to clean the buttons because they got stuck (African fine sand), but it’s still waterproof and works great. In 2021 the original plastic watch bands got worn out so since then I replaced them two times with Chinese copies… Also carried G 19 for personal protection 24/7 for years and is a pistol I trust my life with. Hehehe also owned a Toyota Land Cruiser diesel and had it running on cooking oil hehehe. Stay safe and God bless!

Iliterally came down to comment exactly this but you beat me to it.

@@prizrak-br3332 😂

I was thinking the exact same thing before I came to comments

Will there ever be a SHTF?

@@AncientHueman no

Love all your content man. We’re in a couple of the same groups on facebook

Rip buck Angel

@@ImSrry4BeingWhite hahahaha thats F’ing hilarious

@dtomamerican3471 I ended up getting a Gen5 a couple years back for a good deal. So far it just sits in the safe in case this one bites the dust.

Lmao Gale

I appreciated the BB reference

Most popular pistol ever.

Easy lick

@thePreparedFather thank you kindly. I hope that you find future content equally broad, and of good value. My uploads tend to be sporadic at best because I'm going for quality content rather than a set schedule of so/so material.

@@PhotoCaptured Of course brother, I understand that. This definitely qualifies for quality content. Thanks for the reply and I will be happily awaiting the next upload

@AaronSomes the profile photo probably gives me away a bit, but if you can believe it I actually worked at an on campus coffee shop many years back. Christian College so alcohol is not allowed on campus, and strongly discouraged, but coffee was quite popular. Most of us guys carried while we served fru-fu coffee, so this comment has a very fond memory associated with it for me 😎

@NubsDaShooter be safe, train well, and remember that at the end of the day - getting home and never using it - is the best life. Don't be afraid to try out things, and see what you like; there are lots of great options, and I have a few that I've kept. They just don't get carried much for one reason or another - usually capacity, weight, and, most importantly, reliability.

@@PhotoCaptured of course, and yeah I feel you on that

It’s a glock… there’s literally nothing special about it, they all look the same

I have my duty issue G17 from a past life. Great piece, but I see no good reason to carry it much. Like you, I don't find that it brings me any benefits, and the increase in size just means more effort to conceal. I do prefer the G17 mags if I'm going to carry a spare because they index much easier for me. The shorter G19 mags can be funky to manipulate with my hands getting in the way...

@paulfrancois7653 that is quite the compliment and endorsement. Thank you kindly!

@AN_APPEAL_2_HEAVEN I have very rarely heard of anyone buring out a pistol barrel; one of the very few... is Miles over @TacticalHyve when he put over 50k through an orignal Sig P365. Multiple factors there, and I don't know all of them, but I think we can agree that anyone putting 50k through a micro compact is pretty rare. Larger pistols tend to have fewer stress factors, while the smaller ones take more punishment. Especially if the carry ammo is on the hotter side. I don't agree with all the methods they practice, but Tactical Hyve is doing wonders for the 2A community. In particular, for the people of California, so they are well worth the support. Even if you just watch their content, and give your input occasionally.

@duque_bm whatever you decide on, enjoy it well! The only way I'd consider coating my slide is if I start having rust issues with carry. So far so good, and I kinda like the honest wear 🔥

@Stormtrooper_Accuracy I'm already working on some outlines for a few more. Primarily going for quality content rather than a set schedule or release. I am pushing for one per week if I can maintain the good content, and have something worth sharing 👌

@2K9s bro... one of these vids will definitely be a deep dive into some watches. The Duro is phenomenal, first dive capable watch I purchased myself while taking SCUBA lessons in Myrtle Beach. Later when I qualified, my dad's boss at the time gave me a digital dive sync watch. Which I have to this day as well.

@@PhotoCaptured That’s awesome! Looking forward to it. We sell watches on our website and are AD’s for a few brands… working on getting setup with Squale and Mühle Glashütte as well. Let me know if you’re looking for anything specific 👊.

@stevestone5671 thank you for the detailed comment and nod sir. One of my uncles is Dutch, and I learned a thing or two about buying once - and always go for quality when possible. If you didn't know, the Dutch people are why we have copper wire! Two men were quibbling over a penny, and before long they discovered that they could sell the wire for more than what the one penny was worth. I have nothing against collecting, in fact I have several pieces that I'm rather proud of. But there's also the cost factor and reality that I'm just a humble man, with limited means. My wife and our families come first, so my finances are generally spoken for. Words I live by - invest your time and energy well, because God only gives us one life to live. There's a lot to enjoy, and the things I spend my money on have to be long lasting. Otherwise it just becomes a hassle.

@@PhotoCaptured Well said. The older I get the more of a minimalist I become. And thank you for the encouragement of your faith. May our blessed Father and the Captain of our salvation continue to bless you and yours is my humble prayer.

@@stevestone5671 AMEN!

@CheJoffre thank you! I have several WML offerings from Streamlight, but I find them much more useful on a rifle or shotgun. In the EDC role, I much prefer a little extra comfort and the guarantee that I will always carry it. There are times that clothing or work allows for me to pull it off and not feel like I'm getting jabbed all day. The handheld high power lights are much preferred in my use case, and I can very effectively make hits while manipulating the light with my other hand. Yes, there are certainly some downsides, but I ALWAYS have a light on me when I'm out and about. Usually a I have a Pro-Tac 2L-X or Cloud EDC on me 👌

Great points! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos, Brother. So refreshing to hear your point of view.

@CheJoffre much appreciated ✌️ I don't "script" myself, so it really comes down to what quality content I can focus on. Not so much in relevance sake, but being up front and clear for some who don't want to be bombarded by the long timers. There are a number of great guys who have put out impressive content, and I'll leave them to their skill area. I'm hoping to keep things fresh and generally focus on long-term use. The new and shiny isn't necessarily going to be a thing on my channel. Nothing against it, I'm just a tried and true sort, so I'll stay in my lane.

@@nickvitorio6285 Casio Duro, the MDV-106! Sadly discontinued, but there is now a version available without the Marlin on the dial.

@Faben202 Dude, welcome to the awesome world of firearms. Here's to many years of safe use! I'm actually working on my layout to explain this on video, but here's the short of it. I keep a Field Notes dot journal for each firearm I own, and simply mark off a tally for each box of ammo put through it, and when I do a parts change or replacement due to wear. It's definitely excessive in some ways, but I figured if armed forces and police armorers are doing it, then it might be useful for me. This is an example of what some of my tallies look like written up rather than just marked in the notebook. Walther PDP Compact SD Pro 02-24-2023 806rnds on Standard Silver RSA 21rnds Green Suppressor RSA 04-03-2023 Holosun 507C-GR added at 92rnds (Replacement under warranty, on stand-by) 509T mounted at 516rnds (New Battery on 509T Duracell, 06-26-2024) Savage Apex 110 .300Win-Mag 10-08-2021 63rnds Suppressed 57rnds (Zero confirmed with Federal/Barnes 180gr TSX factory load.) I indicate suppressed versus bare bones because the suppressor can increase back pressure on some firearms. Rather than nitpick which ones are affected, I just indicate for all accordingly.

@elyperez9885 Gen4 and 5 come with backstrap options in the box when new, otherwise Amazon is your friend. I prefer factory, so I'd recommend getting those 👌 My method is to measure 5-8 lines of texture down from the trigger housing pin/backstrap keeper. Then I make a mark on each side, and use heavy kitchen scissors to cut the lower part of the strap off. Once that is down I just snip each sharp corner to start my blending process. Buff it all with some 400 grit sand paper, make sure it is contoured and blended nicely, and mount it. If you really want it to stay in place, but still be removed for yearly cleaning, I pack a pea size glob of Gorilla brand poster putty under the upper portion after warming it in my fingers. Firmly, but gently press it into place so it spreads out, and then push the pin through. Mine has held up perfectly for a little more than 2yrs now with no issues. The end result is a beavertail to avoid slide bite, while not increasing the overall grip circumference. I may have huge hands, but I really don't need the extra girth to get a good firing grip on my pistols. That said I shoot the G20 with or without the backstrap, and even a P226 with the medium (bulky) grip just fine. My draw is much more consistent with the backstrap, and I don't have any issues with slide bite. Many, many, guys shoot just dine without the beavertail mod, but I find it to be a game changer. So I take every edge I can, while still keeping the whole G19 as bone stock as possible. No send off work, and no customization that I cannot easily repeat myself. I'll be doing a video soon showing the whole process, and what it does for me 😎

​@@PhotoCaptured that's the next video I was hoping you'd make! Subbing now to make sure I don't miss it.
