lol, just pointing out basic improvements that others have noticed as well. It’s called user feedback and that’s how companies make improvements and therefore can provide a better product and value to customers. If I didn’t care about the platform being successful or not, I made the video suggesting small but important improvements so when they release a new generation it can hopefully be a bigger success. The gun market is extremely competitive and has very little room for not improving on existing platforms, especially ones that cost more than a typical gun in today’s market.

In most cases I would agree not to change the trigger for a duty gun, but due to the long and heavier DA, if I can lighten that up a bit so I can shoot with better accuracy at a faster rate, I will definitely do that. The trigger only comes into play when a shot goes off that was not intentional. If the trigger is bumpfireing on you then you do have a good argument to go to stock. Better safe than sorry for sure in that case.

I never owned the APX, but have heard it is a very reliable pistol. Glock can be an acquired taste depending on which model you shoot for sure. The 17 size fits me well and I shoot better with the full size than their other models.

Thanks for sharing

Definitely agree. I will definitely try to get another one sometime in the future. The DA triggers does help shooters with a good grip and trigger press, this has definitely translated to better control on other platforms

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Glock is definitely not known for “doing the work for you” like some 1911s out there, but it’s mechanically accurate and will do its job if the shooter does his. I believe one of the pro shooters said something to the effect of “Glocks are guns that will help you improve your skills vs other tricked out race guns that will help you with your scores”. I think there is a lot truth in that statement.

Thanks, it’s a 511 maverick belt

Thanks for subbing. I try to cover different things when I can. Keep in mind my options are formed from my experiences, background, and preferences which have the potential to change as new gear becomes available or if I learn something new about something. Please feel free to put your input in the comments of any of my videos.

I’m sure that setup will work nicely for you when you get a chance to run it. I haven’t tried the costa Luda sights yet.

Yes, but IMO the 47 has slightly better recoil management. I do think it’s a shame the 47 will not accept a 34 slide on it unlike its 17 predecessor could. But the 47 can be converted to a G45 with a 19 slide so it’s an ok tradeoff.

With a 19 length frame and spring.

Awesome

I believe training can get a person faster through the first shot on the berettas, but it’s that second shot transition that usually requires concentration (I know I did not state this in this video), it’s easy to throw the 2nd shot then get back on with the 3rd because of that trigger transition. I did LE qualifications with the PDP, M9A4, Glocks, Sig 228, 320 and M18s. All did well, but for some reason when one handed shooting drills came in, the Glocks and the PDP did the best for me. I do have a soft spot in my heart for the berettas and would like to get a resident evil themed one when I can 😂

So first, I call BS on the assertion that those shooting best (speed and accuracy) were doing so b/c they were shooting with DA/SA pistols. Your assertion is without merit as shooting fast and accurate is directly related to training over tool. The facts support that those who train and are competent shooters shoot faster and more consistently with striker fire pistols. Also, those with no shooting experience at all adapt to the striker fire platforms much easier than DA/SA platforms. There are a number of reasons striker fire pistols dominate the professional and commercial ranks today, one of which is ease of use. This is an irrefutable fact.

@@oleboy7615 You can call BS all you want about something you were not physically attending or did not see for yourself; My only assertion was what happened at a 3-day class, so that has plenty of merit. Been shooting Glocks since 1994 so get off the high horse and stop looking for something to be mad about.

@ Sure thing!

I’ve heard about those issues, but I know of a lot of LEOs that run the MOS plates that have thousands of rounds used without issues with their gen 5. I don’t know if Glock changed the material slightly at one time or if they put a better alloy in the blue label models for the plates. It’s possible that over tightening could be a possibility but I have no evidence to support that theory. I will update the channel if mine fails.

It’s a great gun.

The name fits haha. Thats how i feel about the aimpoint acro.

It’s a beretta branded magazine.

I don’t know why you would think that I hate berettas. I simply point out possible improvements that have also been brought up by others in the past. If I feel a share edge where there should not be, like along the beaver tail and alongside the trigger guard, it’s good for beretta and others to know it’s an issue. If the gun was perfect there would be no need for companies like LTT who exist to make improvements to these existing platforms. I will point out things with every company that has obviously overlooked an issue. Some companies know about these issues, but unless enough people give feedback, they won’t change anything to benefit the customer. I also like Glocks a lot and believe they are the standard for duty pistols, but I will also point out things they could improve upon. If I hated Beretta, I would not make other videos saying how much I liked them for their other qualities. I did unfortunately sell the M9A4 a little while ago. I will make another video in the future explaining why. But I will attempt to buy a full length M9A4 at a later time if that’s any indication of if I like them or not.

I used a Blackhawk omnivore holster. I know 10-8 performance just put out some information on his channel about this too.

I did put more through it later on of course. But an initial impressions shoot for me is the first box or two of ammo and not a full dedicated long term review that would take considerably more time and ammo. Not being sponsored by ammo manufacturers makes every video a financial loss, but we do it for the love of the hobby 😂

Gun lube was definitely used, but ammo is always a possible suspect

It would be nice if they used a 320 or extended 365 mag

Glad you enjoy it!

Thanks man, appreciate it.

Couldn't agree more. Some folks out there with more money in their kits than sweat on their brows.

I didn’t appreciate the FLC as much when I was 11B, but being able to use it now the way I want to with less gear on really makes it shine. Finally being able to go lighter is great now that the body is getting older. Good to hear from a fellow former 11B.

Part of the problem is too the actual widths of the magazines are just a little different so screw length is definitely something to look out for. But not too bad considering all the different grips that are used on this gun.

Thanks man, I don’t mind that some of it will come off over time and use as it does give a cool battle worn finish, but resale is not as friendly to that.

Thanks for the sub! Glad you liked the video.

Thank you, I really like it so far.

I added the cost of the LTT trigger job and a few magazines to go with it for the $1200 price point

@@Duty2Domicilethanks for the video I just picked one up shipped from gun zone deals this Black Friday for 825 !

@@fruitpunchfulawesome, you will definitely enjoy it.

The one that came in the holosun box. It comes with two different mounts

@@Duty2Domicile but to mount it on the scope I mean

@@PapaBDR the Burris PERP mount comes with top rings that have 1913 rails built in. Heavy but cost effective.

Try the CM Pro mags. Wilson Combat owns them now, but these magazines are known to work well for most 1911s. They worked great with mine.

@@Duty2Domicile TY

Outcomes of wars are determined by political strategy, battles are determined by soldiers and their tactics. American soldiers have won every major battle since WW2. It’s still wise to look at the how and why when it comes to the military’s tactics and gear as they do well at their job. But we still need to understand what works for them is not always the right fit for a person or small group that are not logistically supported. With that, what we can learn from the military is a good base knowledge to adapt the parts that do pertain to your situation and disregard the other parts that don’t.

It’s good to versify for different situations. Some people hate on micro rigs, but it’s all mission and environment dependent. They can be extremely useful if speed of movement is your ultimate concern or if you only have a few magazines left to where more pouches don’t do much good. Thank you for your view and the comments.

Lunar Concepts Secondaries and some wings for under them, now you have a big ass chest rig with everything you would ever need, and its all attached to your original micro rig in under 90 seconds 😁

Thank you for the views and your comments. It helps keep the channel going. I can’t wait to see what infantrymen will carry 20 years from now, probably small drones and drone defenses stuff I suspect.

Those things are all great to have in a pack and needed for a sustainable trip. I wouldn’t be worried about an invasion from Russia or china though, they seriously lack the logistics to make a land invasion and would be met with more resistance than they would find worth it, but a civil collapse is very possible if the wrong things happen at the right time. I say the most tactical kit for long term survival is a wood burning stove and a good water source. If you can’t cook or boil water, then any fight will be 10x harder to win. Thank you for the views and comments. Every comment brings ideas for others to learn.

@@Duty2Domicile i love how TH-cam deletes most of my comments.. militarize yourself without looking military camo and concealables will help you. Heirloom seeds till your garden now and get water purifers clothes weapons out of the way now. More you have now less you need

I seen the beretta comp. Looks very effective, I just didn’t like the looks of it. I know how ridiculous that sounds, but it’s a factor for me😂

@@Duty2Domicile Monsoon Tactical in Ohio will port your barrel with their lucky 7's. Now you have a gun that shoots like a 4k Atlas Gun Works !!! Just seven little holes in the barrel, no change in aesthetics.

Big agree. Something a lot of people don’t consider also, just have level 3As extra on the side. Mid level ones are like a pound each and lets tou cut down weight to the point where a PC can be used long distance

Thank you for the support and the feedback. Distance and terrain is definitely a friend to those who go lightweight in gear. As a young man, I fought in the heavy gear, now that I’m older and have some experience behind me, I’m going light if I can and using my head more, the best fight is the one you can avoid or see from a distance.

Thank you for the comment. The split front is not a bad way to go depending on how you configure it and what important for your body type and mission set.
