Weekend with Ken Hackathorn; Episode 1: Wilson's LE Comp
It's no secret I am a MASSIVE fan of comp pistols- but that wasn't always the case. I picked up this LE Comp from a great friend of mine, Paul, who warned me about how well these old comp guns shot. I quickly confirmed his warnings and became a bit obsessed with the LE Comp. On today's episode, I visited with my good friend Ken Hackathorn to talk about the LE Comp and how trends are always cyclical- especially in the gun world.

New Gun Day!
มุมมอง 6K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
There really are few highs that compare to getting a new firearm. It's honestly an addiction. This week- Alex Greenman from @45.automatic on IG heads to North Carolina in search of Duke's Mayonnaise, Cheerwine, and GUNS. We got some new things, passed on some cool things, but had a good time all around!

During WW2, the American manufacturing effort pulled together to mobilize for war in a way no other country has done before or since. Because of this, we see firearms from civilian manufacturers like GM, Rockola, and Remington Rand.

มุมมอง 4.6K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
In a world dominated by Euro-Trash 9mm, we as Americans have lost our way when it comes to non-.45 ACP handgun cartridges. We had it SO right in 1929 with the Super .38- so why don't we see this cartridge anymore?
Limited Edition Alchemy Custom Weaponry- Classic Government

“As someone who has always been drawn to older guns, I have been searching my entire life for ‘the perfect 1911’. This journey would send me across the four corners of the web, searching high and low for a gun that spoke to me in a way that appeased both my love of hard, heavy range days and my vintage emotion simultaneously. A gun that embodies the timeless, classic atmosphere, but with some o...

Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless, .32 ACP- My Second Favorite Handgun
มุมมอง 6K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
It would only make sense that my second favorite handgun is a John Moses Browning design, but what doesn't is the fact it's essentially a "sub compact". For those that don't know me, I absolutely hate "small" handguns- unless they were designed by JMB. The Colt's Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless, exudes class, sex appeal, and is an enjoyable gun to shoot. Let's walk down a brief overview of some of...

    There you go kids, one of the legends… He don’t care if you have a light or not. These guys have learned the hard way. I would say if you have a light on your handgun, then you should also have one clipped to your pocket, don’t learn the hard way. Also he just said you WILL shoot better with a dot… BUT YOU HAVE TO TRAIN with it. So, if you have a dot and you haven’t even put 500 rounds minimum through it… then something is probably wrong. Thanks men!

    That gun brings back memories. That was "The Gun to Have" when I started shooting USPSA in the late 80's. Back then it was a two year wait for one. One of the guys in my area, was a sponsored shooter for Wilson Combat and he let me try one out. Fantastic gun. Thanks for the video!

    Bro, great presentation of the material! But if you are talking about weapons and showing them, then be so kind as to have bright lighting! What can you see in this twilight??? I understand that all these halftones and the play of light are very much appreciated by videographers, but you are not filming yourself, but a weapon, and the viewer wants to look at the weapon better and preferably from larger angles.

    Excellent conversation. Back in the day I worked part time in a gun shop about an hour away from where Ken lived in Ohio. About once a year he would pop in and see what we had going on. The whole place came to a stop as we all would listen to Ken talk about guns. Watching this made me fondly remember those visits.
