Heritage Roughrider .22LR - what to expect out of something so cost cost-effective
I saw one today in 40 s&w, it was the "base" model with "contrast white dot" sights. The store is holding it for me, I'll be going back tomorrow! Good video & good shooting!
Awesome! I’m really happy to hear that, such a cool pistol. Hey, thank you for your comment and for watching 👍
How was the trigger, do you have any other da/sa pistols to compare it to.?
@@steven3379 I can’t really think of one that I have shot that’s particularly similar but, it’s by far the nicest stock trigger in a pistol I have tired so far. The double action is smooth and light enough that there isn’t a huge noticeable difference between sa and da like there is with most others. The single action is very crisp and the amount of travel for reset is pretty dang short
@@Arkansawnorthwoodsthanks again!
"Glock: $300.00 in Parts from Perfection" (A customized 43 is my favorite compact.)
Gotta be 10mm no way 9 kicked you that bad.
Is that 10mm😮 or 9?
Wife got a 43 when they first came out... had a many years, few hundred rounds now, EDC for her... Don't believe we ever had a misfire, malfunction of any type... Absolutely box stock and very, very dependable...
Sucks versus the S&W Shield Plus.
The simple answer is yes. It's the only Glock I've kept. I added the Pearce +1 to the two mags I was running. Then a bit later I got a killer clearance deal on the FAB 10-round extensions and bought two additional mags to put them on. They work great. The gun shoots great.
Nice 3-prong FH on the AR. They got a bad rap in Vietnam. The Mini14 needs on from that flash.
The mini 14 definitely needs a FH!
A 48 inch mat wiill make 3 targets but the width of each will not be 17.715 like in the picture. 48÷3 is 16. A little narrower but still better than nothing. Thanks bud
Good catch! Now that you say that I did adjust the width on the first set I made. Thanks for the good input and for watching!
@Arkansawnorthwoods any time. I was like, how the fuck did he get that out of that mat 😂. I followed your lead and did them and got a good outcome. I also took one and did a diy splatter sheet (green highlight paper, packing tape and black paint) and taped it on. I'll see how it turns out. Gods speed
Thank you
That’s pretty genius
How have they held up? I plan to make some of these today.
They have held up very well, hollow points in certain caliber will leave a pin holes but on the other I have made I have only used FMJs and after a couple hundred rounds there is almost no visible damage
@@Arkansawnorthwoods that’s awesome. I can’t wait to make mine. I’m about to start working on them now. Thanks for the video man and a reply.
@@SullyMac83 hey thanks for watching!
I would say it's irrelevant due to the 365. But the 365 rusts so damn easy, I'd rather have my old 43 back now.
I have those same cartridges in a little box on my bunk bed.
Those rounds are small yet powerful.
If it goes bang it will always be revenant
Absolutely
turn off the illumination it’s for low light
The 26 is same silhouette put them side by side it’s not much thinner I’ll take the double stack 10 round or plus 1 for 11 in the mag and takes real Glock mags 15,17,33 round no problems
I almost got this over the hellcat osp lol i chose the hellcat cause 1: better capacity, 2: room for attachments and i just liked it better 😁
You like what you like, nothing wrong with that. Hellcats are pretty cool btw 👍

What a fun gun
Nice shooting! Love the shooter view
That's right.In the army they tought us K.I.S ..keep it simple .Good job brother
Schrade made one very similar that was much more comfortable and stronger tang. Schf 40 I believe. The LMF handle is inferior.
The fact that you said you can buy a G43 under $400... where?
I was on a video a few minutes ago and someone was saying the same thing. $380 out the door. I paid $450 for mine out the door at Rural King
You can find them on the used market. LE trade ins are typically sub $400…I don’t see new ones for less than $400.
I got mine for $360 at a pawnshop, came with a holster and night sights
@@cesarrobledo2583 that's a good deal
I need a cameral like that lol im shooting one handed holding my phone, nice content!!!
Junk knife
If you didn’t know, you can get a Glock 48 and use the 43 slide and then you have a 43,43x and a 48.
How much ?
They seem to fluctuate between $99 and $140 depending where you look.
Nice,wonder how it compares directly against the Gerber strongarm,obviously price taken into consideration also.
That is a good point and possibly a future video! Thank you!
The strongarm is much superior in build quality and feel. The blade shape is exactly the same but not as wide. The only selling point of the LMF is that it's electrical insulated handle which is not full tang at all. Way overpriced!
@davidlagno7717 awesome info man that's exactly what I needed to know! Even better considering the price gap as well. I appreciate the response.
@forestcampbell8962 no problem. There's a ton of videos too. But I've owned both. You can not go wrong with the Strongarm. It's indescribable 👍
Got my Mini30 in 2022/newer series..... comes with a pic rail option which I instantaneously utilized..... put on a rail, added an optic and turns out is pretty accurate..... love the damn thing!!!!.... swapped out the stock with a Promag Archangel Stock and now is fully adjustable with rise and length of pull!..... GREAT RIFLE!!!!....IMO
LOVE MINE!!! The Pic Rail is TOTALLY USABLE despite what others say and the 58o series Tapered barrel is MUCH more accurate than his 181 series pencil barrel. The 580's (mines a 583) Scope Ring Mounts also work well 4 a Traditional Scope... My 1st time out with a CHEAP Simmons 3-9x40 = 100 yard Head shots with Tula Steel and I SUCK! GUNBLUE490 is an 70 Y/O Conneticutt State Police and Secret Service Firearms trainer and he did an experiment with a 580 series Mini Wood Stock vs the same Rifle in a "Composite Stock" vs his own " Cheap PSA receiver AR Build with a Non Floating AR1 Barrel and a Giesle trigger .... The Birch wood stock out shot the Composite by a MILE and the AR by a dragstrip! His videos are 30 minutes to an hr long but go by faster than a Buck Owens song!

👍👍
My carry gun for 5 years now. Love it.
I really enjoyed it! Aside from being practical and small it’s a lot of fun to shoot.
I cc this on my leg and a gen5 17 on my side every day. Thanks for sharing this
That’s pretty cool! Hey thanks for watching👍
Good grief. Where do you live Chicago?
@@ryanranard5187 crime only happens there, remember? We've had a lot of break ins and prison breaks in my area, and we've had people murdered at a gas station near my house. Crazy people travel our side road and where we live has limited cell coverage and only satellite internet at the moment. Our neighboring county met with some major local churches, one of which my family and I attend. They told our church that crime is increasing and said they encourage and support lawful carry and would not be enforcing anything against that. I never take a chance. It's like a fire extinguisher in a business-when did you ever use one last? It's there in the instance it is needed. I also work at a government facility (court house) we've had a shooting there before as well. The more an area and people lawfully carry, the easier it is to rival an enemy. Criminals are everywhere and they travel. Anywhere anyone thinks they're the safest is actually in the most danger because of that mentality in itself. Have a good one
@@ryanranard5187 I replied and now the comment is gone
Have you shot it at all? I been thinking about getting a smith and Wesson antique like this, I just want to know if they still fire well
I haven’t shot it yet. I don’t know the history of this pistol, it definitely is a little worn on the moving parts of the cylinder but for its age it is still in working order. I definitely want to try to find some ammunition so I can better answer your question 👍
I like my 43. Also I hve the+2 & +3 Taran mag base plate. Never had a malfunction. Great place you have. Saludos from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🇺🇸
Thank you! I am very fortunate
Never had a malfunction with mine, Great gun for those that don't "need" a bunch of ammo to feel good.
Kill range for 22 is only 25m compared to 9mm with kill range of 100m.
Shooting a pistol at some in self defense doesn't really happen outside 25m
Not how guns work. Effective range doesn't equal "range you could die from if you're hit". Otherwise celebratory gunfire wouldn't have killed hundreds if not thousands worldwide
No. Outdated relic.
You just lost credibility for ANYTHING in one stupid comment 😂🤣😂
@@rickybristersmusic3658You pay $600 for a $300 pistol....you NEVER had any credibility 🤓
@@johnhatchel9681 you don’t even know the price of Glock 43. The real truth is unraveling
Nice little clip. Thanks for uploading. 👍🏻
Thank you!
They are all a bit close to you
Missed one
If you can't hit a target at that distance you should quit and go home
That’s literally saying “if you arnt good at something you shouldn’t practice it”
@@tacticallegos2a community is full of people like this haha
I think most of them post negative comments just to get a reaction and more replies. So lets make them trolls happy 😊
Absolutely! You can buy extended mags for the 43 and have the same capacity and handling of the 43x. You can also slim down with the 6 round flush mag. 43x you are stuck where you are unless you want to increase capacity. 43 is my edc.
Now that is a very ingenious point!
I like small pocket pistols but im not a fan of the 6 round mags, thanks to the fab defense +4 extensions its more comfortable
Good to know!👍
I got the Pro Mag 9 round mags and they work great as well.
I don’t care what anyone says. The Ruger Mini 14 amd Mini 30 are far superior to any AR-15 simply because it’s more reliable,cleaner,accurate,better material,more versatile. People swear that AR-15’s are the best but there are to many faulty parts,they’re very jammy,harder to get one that is top of line out of the box from one manufacturer,top of the line parts are extremely expensive especially barrels and triggers. You buy a AR for $350 and a trigger system cost more than the rifle. The mini 14 has a high performance trigger right out of the box.
These are very good points. I am still trying to figure out how anyone makes a quality AR for $500 like I see everyone claiming. Try pricing out an upper with a cold hammer forged barrel. PSA has one of the cheapest and it is near $500 by itself. A quality charging handle and bcg will cost an extra $200 to $300. An Aero cold hammer forged barrel (just the barrel) is around $300.
Your remarks about the AR15 platform are B.S. The Mini14/30 are great rifles. I still have the first year production stainless Mini14 I got way back when. I had it out on the range a few days ago along with my Colt M4. Both are excellent shooters. I hit the 30 inch steel plates constantly with both. Both will hold the black on the CMP reduced 100 yard target. I don't know what the Mini14 will do with an optic because it has no provision for mounting one. That's not an issue because it doesn't need one. I've often told the Mini14 to stop shooting so well because everyone says you can't. I shoot for hits not groups on a rifle like the Mini14 or M4. A hit is a hit if the second hit is 4 inches away from the first hit, that makes very little difference to what you hit as a hit is a hit is a hit. I have other types of rifles that I shoot groups with along with my loads tailored for each rifle. Not only the US but several other NATO and none NATO countries issue the M16 in one configuration or the other, not the Mini14. There are substandard AR15 rifles on the market at low prices that aren't even worth what you'd pay for them, you get what you pay for. Most failures are caused by magazine issues in a good AR15. The AR15 is a rifle that can be built to suit yourself at similar to what you pay for the factory rifles. Not so with the Mini14. The Mini14 gets hot quickly. It won't stand up to the higher volume of fire that the AR15/M16 will, it wasn't designed for that. The newer tactical models look cooler but won't do any better. I've used both my Mini14 and Mini30 rifles in both 3 gun and tactical matches before. They did well because you don't fire enough rounds in any stages of the matches to over heat them. I've always prefered the Mini14/M14 type rifles because of the way they balance and feel in my hands. These are really great and fun rifles to own and shoot, however in a SHTF/WROL environment I'd have to go with the M4 as a personal defense rifle. Magazines, parts, ammunition would/should be your primary concern in such a situation because if you call 911 you won't get an answer. The National Guard, regular Armed Forces will be deployed defending the major cities and infrastructure not us little people. We would all be very desirable targets of opportunities for criminal Predators and starving people desperate for supplies. Nobody's coming to help you so you need to have enough spare parts, magazines,ammunition on hand to get through the night until better days come back. I don't think I'd pick my Mini14 over my M4 if I found myself in a deep shit situation along with some of my friends and neighbors trying to stand of a roving gang of looters trying to take what we have like the contractors at the US consultant in Libya. That is a very real scenario that any group of people would likely find themselves in if conditions like that dragged on for several months. We all pray something awful like that would ever come to pass on a nationwide scale, but you have to understand that in the deeply divided and troubled times we are living in not just in America, but the world you can't think it could never happen here. Being prepared for something to a rational person doesn't mean you want or expect it to happen. You do so because you still want to be around when it's over.
You can eat with false teeth, you can dance on a wooden leg, but you can't see with a glass eye. Don't any of you people where eye protection when you shoot?
@@nightrider1850 I wish you were my next door neighbor. Good points. The odds of needing spare parts for a mini-14 are exceptionally low, unless you some how lose the parts. But, you are correct, availability of parts will be nearly non-existent for a mini. The AR is an excellent platform for modularity, but it is almost a requirement to have at minimum a spare charging handle and spare BCG. But, parts are everywhere and buying extra parts is easy right now. Hordes of assailants requiring sustained projectile use wouldn't be my concern though. In all likelihood those hordes would self immolate prior to reaching your door step. The real issue will be lone wolves scoping you out until the right time, organized well equipped gangs, and wolves organized into maurading patrols. Two of these groups would likely try to take you at distance when you least suspect it. In any of these cases sustained projectile use still would not happen. Even if it did, the odds of making it unscathed are not likely. I wish more people took things serious enough to at least plant a garden and learn to can.
Then there are the loudest balloons I've ever heard pop!!
Always wondered how these were filmed. You’re looking through the camera screen?
