Glock fanboys from Reddit and Discord mass reported this video and used anti-gun RU-vid to demonetize the video with limited visibility. Here is validation from someone who had the same experience at industry day with the non-optic G49. They should be ashamed: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WllgQs8qwnE.html
Apologizing for an honest mistake is one thing. But you should never have to apologize for an honest opinion. Great content and great channel friend. Keep it up!
yep seemed like more of an eh, than a meh. but i've been wrong before.. there was that time a few years back with the plastic striker guns.. been good lately tho.@@NightwoodGuns
I own a Walther PDP steel frame compact. I totally agree with you. Aside from a 1911 9mm or a CZ Shadow 2, this PDP shoots flat and soft. And it's a compact! It's a fav, for sure!
Don't apologize or triangulate for giving your honest opinions; just defend them with facts and let the chips fall where they may! Honesty is why I subscribe here, rather than the many 'infomercial' gun channels.
You easily gave us the best, most unfiltered coverage on SHOT I've seen this year. Almost everything else was just general product overviews and letting the reps hit their talking points. Thanks for putting in the hard work!
Thank you for your in-depth and honest reviews and coverage at Shot Show. You're one of the few reviewers that is not afraid to say if you don't like something, but who gives praise where it's deserved. Keep up the good work!
Just remember, color is just "paint". Cerakote, or some type of Vapor Dep, can make ANY gun have color. I would recommend instead, the Springfield Prodigy and a tune & ignition kit. Then google cerakote, and your city and choose one of the 20 places that pop up.
As someone who is constantly accused of being paid by Glock (I wish), I do not understand people who get triggered just because someone shows an issue with a pistol, even Glock.
I can assure everyone... *there's only a FEW channels that are getting paid by Glock.* Everyone else, has to jump through normal hoops to get a gun from Glock.
Enjoyed your perspective at shot show! Was waiting for each days update, won’t be long before you’ll be doing interviews with people! Enjoyed your book as well!
You turned me on to handleit grips. I put one on all my pistols. I have to change my EDC Glock about once every 2 months because I wear the out but get a new one every time. Thank you for turning me on to them. Also excellent customer service
HandleIt is the best! I’m glad you like it! I’ve found that I get more life out of them when I put a thin, single layer of their “last resort fabric grip tape” around the edges that peel. 👍 Just something I’ve been experimenting with.
Great coverage Brett. I have to say you are a better man than me, because I would have never back peddled my opinion for nobody. If they butt hurt because you gave an honest opinion than that's on them you and your wife were the ones there shooting the systems not them and you should have never had to justify the both of your critics at all. I appluad her and yourself for bringing us honest and straight reviews.
@NightwoodGuns You're right. Clarifying is a much better descriptive. Again, I applaud how you handled the criticism towards your wife. From what I could see, she had great shooting fundamentals, and I think it's great that she is out there with you putting out great 2A content 👍🏾
I’ve had a Glock 49 with a SRO on a Forward Controls plate and a TRL7sub for about 2 months without a single issues. 1 training class, couple competitions, and about 1200 rounds. That said, it’s a sample size of one. I also workout a ton so I have a strong grip. I’m a Glock guy just because I’ve ran them for 15 years but I’m no Glock shill. They have been surpassed in the innovation dept by many.
Brett,thank you for your honest review, if someone has any problems with your honest review then they shouldn’t watch your videos! I really appreciate your honesty and being unbiased about any firearms or accessories that in your channel. Just a small request, I would love to see your full review of the MAC DS as it’s the same price as the Prodigy 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
*2:10** The problem with the PDP, is the PPQ... which you can get used for $300-350 ADL, and is just as good.* I haven't been able to tell a reasonable difference to substantiate getting the new guns? Have you?
New Subscriber. Great coverage and content. You speak clearly with great enthusiasm, experience and knowledge. You highlight key features without belaboring and boring the listener. Hope to see you reach 1 million subscribers. Looking forward to your review of TISAS 1911 ! I bought a target model. Fit and finish is very, very good. Excellent checkering & Slide to frame fit. Easily one of the best looking 1911s around for the money.
Tisas. Probably the best 1911 builder at any price point below $2k. Been shooting 1911s since I was a teen age California surfer hippie and all the way thru my career in the Army as a 18a. Hard pressed to pry my Gold Cup or Commander out of my hand. But the Tisas from top to bottom is the equal of every 1911 on the market and far less expensive head to head. A double stack, 4.5 inch barrel, with red dot cut out included, and series 70 works, for $700 and you call it “fine”? Fine as frog hair would be more accurate. Other than that, for a red star wearing Bolshevik, you did an ok job.
My friend got a NIB Tisas Army 1911a1 in 2020. The ⚓️ was total junk. Broke 2x with no range use! Would I buy a Tisas? No. I would add newer 2024 look decent but I'm not impressed with that model.
I had a less than stellar experience with my first Tisas, but I will be getting the MAC to give them a second chance. I’m always open to trying things and changing my opinion, so maybe I’ll come around just yet 👍 On paper, it is incredible. But the proof is in the pudding. Regardless, I’m glad you enjoyed despite my hesitation around Tisas 👍
@@DavidLLambertmobile so to recap. You offer no evidence of expertise, and nothing but second hand claims that your supposed “friend” claims to have broken his firearm prior to getting to the range. Now is that impossible? No. If your friend was an idiot and used it as a hammer or tried to take it apart with training or proper tools, possibly. More than likely your post is just another xenophobic hater at work.
@@NightwoodGuns early Tisas striker fire clones were “interesting” and very picky in the ammunition they word take. The 1911s not so much. I have fired multiple variants of the Tisas 1911. Standard maintenance, routine cleanings, and never ever over lube, all keys to successfully running any 1911. Or at least that is what I taught thousands of soldiers when I was an instructor at the Army Marksmanship course.
You’ve always got such great contents i love your knowledge, insights, and fun attitude. Really fun videos to have on when cleaning the kitchen and doing the dishes!
I've always low key liked walther and that steel frame PDP makes me want to jump on it. Also really excited to see all the Radian upgrades for the P365!
I never got into the PDP. I always thought it was a bit clunky and snappy. But gosh dang that steel frame compact has me swooning 😂🤣 And yes, Radian is doing an incredible job! 🙌
Awesome video. Number 1, your wife is gorgeous and you guys complete each other. (2) since early 2019, I bought a Glock 19x (G45) and shot 4k rounds with no issues, then, I mated it with a 19 long slide and ran another 2k rounds. As soon as I mounted an RMR the pistol's cycle of operation started to malfunction. My Duty Gun is a G19 MOS with a Trijicon since 2020, again so issues at all. I took them both to the defunct Glock Store in San Diego and they ran it too. We concluded that a G23 heavy Tungsten slide guide rod fixed it immediately. 3 years later and over 12k rounds through it, I call it a win.
Thanks, man! It was great having her at SHOT with me 👍 And thanks for sharing your Glock experience. It’s funny how one little thing can throw just one Glock completely out of whack.
Not sure if you stopped by the PSA booth but those dudes are nailing it they have a bunch of prototypes there and you can vote on which one you want to see come to market 1st there is an MP 7 sort of PDW that could be cool but what I was really excited about were the new JAKL variants one in 308 and another on a Bullpup lower in 5.56 I want both of those but a bullpup jakl in 300 blk would be a huge seller and a great suppressor host. I love shot Show I’m going to try and talk my boss into going next year and brining me along just for a goof
PSA had the best booth at all of SHOT. If PSA was at range day and I could have shot their guns, I probably would have been more excited 👍 But they easily had the most hype!
I walked so much during the show my legs still hurt. It was quite a turn out for manufacturers. I was surprised some of the well known manufacturers of optics (such as DI Optics - who actually has military contracts) had such a tiny little booth at a corner where nobody looked at. But they had the thermo heavy optic sight - one that was actually used during the Somali pirate takedown on display for everyone to take a look.
I didn’t even see them 🤦♂️😂 But yeah, I walked 500 miles, and then I walked 500 more. Crazy year and the biggest turnout yet. I’m just glad I dodged any SHOT Show illnesses 😮💨
I always encourage her to hop into the 2A space whenever it is in alignment for her 👍 At the very least I’m sure she can appear as a guest on this channel to offer a different perspective in future videos!
Good video thanks for all the content! Hope the Tisas MAC double stack is awesome and knocks your socks off. The HumblemarksMan reported early February is when Sealth Arms is making new options available for the builder.
I love classic and antique guns, that blued Colt Python is beautiful, I still want a revolver in my collection but I only have range time with a POS Taurus and a S&W 29
I get why you might say Tisas is fine, but I have to say that I have a Tisas PX9 gen 2 that I have put around 5k rounds thru without one fail with all kinds of ammo. Maybe I got lucky, but it is a very flat shooter and has performed better that several of my high dollar guns. I would 100% trust my life with it. Maybe you should get one and see how it does.
I love 32 h&R, good power, extra round in the cylinder, ad unlike 38 j frames, pleasant to shoot so I enjoy practicing with it. With 32 long it can be shot all day, with h&r it's still more pleasant than 38. The ultimate carry dresses my biggest criticism by putting on real sights. The chamfered charge holes is nice too. Ive found j frames to be much more reliable and less finicky than pocket autos in 380 and the such. @@Shadow__133
Excellent coverage sir. I am very interested in the Stealth Arms Platypus, since I heard of them it's been attractive, but with all the cool new options, I mean, very exciting new stuff!
i haven’t followed this channel long, but really appreciate the shot’24 coverage; always interesting and insightful a few thoughts on this recap: i’m glad you’re not a communist, (forgive me) your wife is stunning, wheel guns always deserve air time, and i’ll be looking for your next installment; grateful
Glad you’ve been enjoying the channel! 👍 I wouldn’t worry about the haters so much if they weren’t mass reporting my videos and getting my channel demonetized. It seems the gun community likes eating their own.
@@NightwoodGuns That’s so sad to hear Brother. Just like the car community, the 2A community can be toxic as well. It amazes me that instead of helping each other out, they are reporting your channel.
@@Mountain_Soldier Yep, 100% And it’s all because I showed that G49 malfunction. I even linked someone else at SHOT that had the same issue in the comments. But, it is what it is 🤷♂️ Just sad, like you said. I appreciate the support though, man 👍
I ordered a platypus about a week ago and stopped the order because I want to change it to bull barrel and the special grip and 45 acp when it goes live the first week in Feb according to stealth arms website
I appreciate your honest coverage of shot show. You didn’t just cover the basic mass production companies and I appreciate that. It’s the smaller companies that typically have the coolest, most innovative stuff. A lot of big companies play it safe and rely on their reputation from the past
I hear ya, I really do. I had a well-fit Tisas that was a jam-fest. And the replacement had sloppy fit/finish. I’m sure I just got unlucky, but I will be giving them another chance with the MAC. Again, I never said they were bad 🤷♂️
I don’t own a Tisas but I have watched numerous reviews on different models and I will definitely be buying one. I think the people that own them might have been upset with your comments for two reasons: 1- you were talking down the brand in general and the new double stack in particular never having fired one. There are zero cast or MIM parts in any Tisas. 2- you were talking up the Bersa 1911, a company well known for producing crap, which does have MIM parts, also without shooting it
Yeah. It was the total shrugging and judging it before even shooting it. I also noticed that it was the only gun he talked about in the vid but didn’t even pick up in the footage. It was like he only talked about it to dismiss it. Dude has a total bias to the brand(or maybe the Country) and it shows. The thing is, though, thats Fine! Every gun guy is like that lol. He reserves that right. Im almost sure wouldn’t have even looked twice at the Tisas booth if not for his followers asking him to. Which means he listens to his base. So dudes alright w/ me.
@@HammersOverStrikers The problem with it, is the price point... there is only one way to get there, and that is cutting literally every corner. It's made by someone making $2.78/hr. Average worker in Turkey, TRY10,008/mo There's no QC... YOU are the QC. MIM throughout... questionable origin steel on the frame, slide, barrel, firing pin. The Springfield Prodigy is the cheapest you can put out a 2-piece double stack 1911. And even they had growing pains at first. The Armscor RIA TacOPS DS is the cheapest 1-piece double stack 1911. Parts quality / labor quality / QC... any lower in price than those two pistols, you lose one of the three.
These were just first impressions. I will be getting and shooting both to see for myself. I had a less than stellar first experience with Tisas, but I’m open to giving them a second chance with the MAC. I truly hope it impresses! 👍 Still, kind of a silly thing to get upset about.
@@HammersOverStrikers I really appreciate your level-headedness! I didn’t get footage of it because my battery died, but I did hold it and talk to the rep about it for a half hour. My first impression is that it is “fine” Fit/finish and ergos were all fine. Which is what I would expect in that price point. But, I will be getting one for the channel and I genuinely hope it impresses as far as performance/reliability goes 👍 As far as my bias, my first Tisas was a less than stellar experience which led to my bias against the brand. But I am always open to trying new things and giving second chances. I love being proven wrong and changing my POV. That’s why I’m 100% picking up the MAC 👍
I could have easily made a Top 20 video that was an hour long 😂 But yeah, the Staccato C would have made top 10. Word at the show is that they are still working out some “kinks” and the only people who got to shoot it were at the “invite only” Staccato shill range day. So I’m reserving my full judgment and excitement until I can shoot it myself.
New Sub. Great content, that I saw. Yeah, a lot of people need to take Chill Pills and not get so upset about a, literal, word. Good luck with the books & keep on gunnin'...
Thank you for your video, Brett! I have narrowed my search down to Stealth Arms Platypus, Staccato P, or the Bul Armory Tac II. My reservation with Bul Armory is the MIM components. I really liked what I saw so far on the Platypus. I sent the company an email to determine if I could subsitute the coating from Ceracote to DLC and get a larger grip for my hands. Stealth Arms website is a game changer. What are your thoughts on the Staccato P versus the Platypus?
They are both phenomenal. The Staccato with its DLC finish is hard to beat and it is softer shooting because of the polymer grip (absorbs and flexes with recoil) But the Stealth Arms is a bargain for what you get and the customization is amazing. I think it depends on what magazine ecosystem you want to be in: 2011 or Glock (or Bul 😅)
