That looks like a pretty light trigger on your revolver.

I just ordered one of those presses. I subscribe to see what your do with yours there

Amazing work! I got myself a new one, and before I test it out I’m going to clean it, because it has a lot of friction when cycling the slide. I loved the before and after of the smoothness of the slide.

Good video, excellent job showing how to takedown/assemble/clean the pistol. Take this as constructive criticism and don't use gun grease, rather use FP-10, G96 or other high quality gun oil. Grease is like a magnet and attracts grime, grit and residue which can and will accelerate wear on the slide and frame rails. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for sharing!

Is the paddle removable? If so, does the paddle have the circular connection point with notches for cant/angle preferences?

orgasm real oegasm this gun.

He might as well be putting in the primers with a hammer🤣

chk mi cnl 🎤🎤🎤

Nice revolver and nice holster! Very good video, my friend. This is a good holster for open carry, isn't it? Have you ever use it at the shooting range? Is it comfortable?

Are you still dating that woman?

DPM WORKED FOR ME BUT WAS UNRELIABLE. TO MANY FAILURES.

i hate dat

Owned one since 1978. The Original like yours. Made for my Colt .45acp. My shoulders a bit wider so the strap fits a little wider and lower than on yours. Comfortable, and really hides your piece.

Great review!

$$Price would have been nice.

I liked the part with the cat. 🐈 😂

*its so inaccurate* 🤦‍♂️

Thank you. Very smooth, simple and to the point. Much appreciated at so many levels. 👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent video, no goofy music or talking!

Does Hornady LNL have positives and bads for you?

And as of March 7, 2024 we have permitless carry in South Carolina. 😎

Still carrying that trifold wallet?

Wtf ... never seen such a bad video .... brush forwards ans backwards.... great job to destroy your barel... cleaning the barel from the front to the back ??? Wow.... you have absolute no idea how to handle a weapon. .

A little bit about different brands and types of primers. Which ones to use, when and why. All CCI and Reminton primer, plus Winchester's small pistol are the safest to use in automatic priming tools. Federal burns hotter and cleaner, yet are according to the Richard Lee manual "one tough dragon to control in the automatic priming systems". Modern Reloading Second Edition Richard Lee Revised 2021, page 60: To find out why some brand primers explode violently, I talked to an expert, Dave Anderson, now retired from CCI. He told me primers are charged with one of two types of charging compound. One is called "basic" and the other is "normal." The primers that use "basic compound" must not be used in Lee Priming tools because an accidental discharge is very violent. The "normal compound" is less violent and causes little damage to the tool. The user is easily protected by safety glasses. Metallic Cartridge reloading, Robert S. L. Anderson, page 20: In the firearms industry there are two types of lead styphnate primer compounds - "normal" and "basic." There are presently four manufacturers of primers in the U.S., and all of them except one uses the normal lead styphnate primer compound. Federal is the only manufacturer that presently uses basic . The common ingredient to all small arms primers is lead styphnate of which there are several different varieties. Basically it is in crystalline form and is very explosive. Normal lead styphnate is composed of large irregular crystals, which are slightly acidic when wet, somewhat more brisant at lower temperatures (good for military use), and they burn with a cool flame at ambient temperatures. However, it is somewhat harder to get an even mix of components in normal lead styphnate primers because of the larger irregular crystals and the fact that the "mix" often requires some metallic fuels (such as powdered aluminum) to help make a magnum primer. Basic lead styphnate is composed of small regular crystals and unlike the normal mix is not as acidic and will not attack primer cups when wet. Basic lead styphnate is easier to mix than normal variety and there is no need to add metallic fuels. The basic primer flame is very hot and will easily ignite most powders and therefore Federal does not offer a magnum pistol primer. However this style primer is slightly less brisant at very low temperatures (- 20degrees F. to - 40 degrees F.) which would make normal primer more suitable for military purposes. Metallic Cartridge Reloading, All New Third Edition, M.L. McPherson, page 29: Certain brands of primers might be unsafe to use in some priming tools like Lee's AutoPrime because of the potential for mass detonation. With these tools, should an operator detonate one primer, as can happen when a handloader tries to seat one primer on top of another, the detonation subjects other primers in the tray to shock and an incandescent flash. If this shock and flash can detonate a second primer, there is the potential that most or all (perhaps 100 or more) primers in the tray might detonate en masse. Such a simultaneous detonation would be a disaster. Lee has tested all available primers and, excepting CCI and Winchester, all brands produce an unacceptable number of mass explosions when the primer being seated is forced to detonate (by heating in a remote explosion-proof box). By comparing Federal and CCI primers, we can gain some understanding why brands very in this regard. Federal primers do not have a foil covering over the primer pellet; an application of a type of paint replaces the foil. That sealant is easily ignited and highly flammable, possessing a very low kindling temperature. These are beneficial characteristics; among other things, they help reduce combustion residues. However, use of this pellet sealant makes these primers very easy to ignite. Exposure of the open front of the cup to the flash from an adjacent primer easily does the job! Conversely, CCI primers have a paper foil almost completely covering the front of the pellet. This foil deters pellet ignition because it is only moderately combustible and has a relatively high kindling temperature. A short duration flash from a primer is unlikely to ignite the foil or penetrate through it to ignite the pellet underneath.

Three things to keep in mind here, “primer dusting” + “static electricity” = “ka-BOOM!” VihtaVuori Reloading Manual 4th Edition, page 96: Handloading is an enjoyable, rewarding hobby that can be easily carried out in complete safety. However, like any human activity, carelessness or negligence can create hazards. Handling primers and powders correctly is at the core of safe handloading practices. Do not store large quantities of primers in bulk! Doing so will create a bomb! Primers kept in bulk can explode en masse - the explosion of a few hundred primers is equivalent to throwing a hand grenade into a room! Do not use excessive force when loading primers into equipment, primer tubes, or seating them in cartridge case primer pockets under any circumstances. Take special care in filling and handling auto primer tubes - they have been the source of many explosions. Metallic Cartridge Reloading, All New Third Edition, M.L. McPherson, page 6: FORWARD ... ... never forget that when handloading ammunition you are dealing with energetic materials and devices capable of bringing great harm and destruction. I am constantly reminded of the dangers primers present. One regional ammunition manufacturer formerly demonstrated this fact to all new employees at the company's annual picnic. At 200 yards, he would set up two targets: one was a company coffee cup with 200 primers in it; the other, two sticks of dynamite hidden behind a similar cup. He would then explode each target with precisely placed shots ... The question the group was to answer: "Which was which..?" And the answer was not obvious! page 29: Primer Safety If there is one area of deep concern, it is safe handling of primers. I don't understand how it happens, but people are always finding ways to set off a primer unintentionally. Stories abound of handloaders, managing to mass explode them. These incidents often involve hand-held priming tools or automatic primer feeds using a tube of stacked primers. The handloader can treat primers with all manner of disrespect, but sooner or later he will pop a primer unintentionally. If that happens to be intimately associated with a large group of primers, the results can be devastating. Even one primer by itself can inflict a severe wound ... ... ...

Lee has tested all available primers and , excepting CCI and Winchester, all brands produce an unacceptable number of mass explosions when the primer being seated is forced to detonate. page 30: Handle primers with the respect these little bombs deserve and follow all safety precautions provided by the manufacturers. Always wear safety glasses when handling primers. Swift Bullet Company Reloading Manual Number two, page 38: The Basic Rules for Reloading Safely Introduction Read all available books on reloading. Make yourself as knowledgeable as you can. page 40: Primer Handling 5. Do not dump together in bulk. There is a risk of mass detonation if one is ignited. 6. If resistance to seating or feeding of primers is felt, STOP and investigate. DO NOT FORCE PRIMERS. There have been instances of “primer dusting” in the tubes of reloading tools.

Berger Bullets Reloading Manual 1st Edition, page 104: The safe reloading of ammunition is largely based on the use of common sense. page 106: Always Clean up After Each Reloading Session Debris will collect and it can be a safety hazard. It is therefore, important to clean up your work area after each reloading session. Safety always comes back to the use of common sense. If you ever find yourself in doubt, stop, research the question. Lyman 51st Handloading Handbook, page 59: CAUTION: Primer feeds require extreme care. … … handling primers one at a time is a safe procedure. However, primers handled in bulk are a potential hazard. Should you choose to use an automatic primer feed, extreme caution is required. … … Should one primer explode, all will do so spontaneously with disastrous results. Even a few primers exploding can cause serious property damage and personal injury. Many high volume reloaders feel an auto primer feed is a necessary part of their equipment. If you think you number among these folks, use extreme caution when working with an automatic primer feed. CAUTION: Never push, bang, bump or otherwise apply any force to a primer or primer feed. CAUTION: When using an automatic primer feed, at the first sign of a primer jam or difficult feeding - STOP! Then think about what must be done. Force nothing and do not be tempted to jiggle the tool or any part of it even slightly. Rather, carefully disassemble the primer feed. First remove the primer magazine and all primers contained therein. Clear the jam, determine the cause for the jam, and correct the problem before proceeding with use of the primer feed. page 60: CAUTION: Extreme care must be used when filling a primer feed magazine tube with primers. Never force a primer into a pickup tube. A pressure of no more than five pounds should be required for a primer to slip into the tube. Do not use any primer pickup tube requiring more than this amount of force. CAUTION: Primers can and do “dust”. CAUTION: Static electricity may cause primers to explode. Hodgdon Powder No. 27 Data Manual, section 6 -10, under "Handling Primers": They demand the respect and careful handling due any device containing explosives. Primers should never be handled, used, ... in bulk, since primers in bulk can explode simultaneously. ... ... ... Precautions should be taken to avoid buildup of static electricity on the person when handling primers or conducting handloading procedures. Loading equipment should be electrically grounded. Speer Handloading Manual Number 15, page 41: Static electricity and the Reloader 1. Static electricity can be highly hazardous for the reloader. 2. primers are most sensitive to static charges. The energy is enough to ignite primer dust in and around priming tools. The dust can ignite and propagate to all the primers in the tube [or tray]. The result is a serious explosion. This is the reason to keep those tubes [and trays] clean! 3. Static charges prefer low humidity environments. take some simple precautions. a. Use a humidifier. b. remove carpets from reloading areas. This is the prime source of static energy accidents. c. Clean the reloading area on a schedule. Routine cleaning removes residues of primers and propellants that can react to static energy. d. Use an anti-static product[s]. Modern Reloading Second Edition Richard Lee Revised 2021, page 59: Tony Sailer from CH Tools gave good advise about primers. “Reloading is pretty safe, until you handle primers in quantity.” Tony, a commercial reloader, visits other in the business. He says look at the ceiling above any powered reloading machine and you will see holes above the priming station. Primers in a tube explode with great force and unpleasant regularity. Jim Hulbert, retired from MEC, tested shotshell primers in a seamless tube. When the bottom primer was intentionally detonated, a 1X6 overhead looked as if it had been hit with a 12 gauge shotgun at close range. page 60: Accidentally drop a tube full of primers to a concrete floor and you are going to have one heck of a bang.💥

Where are your safety glasses? Now I’ll round out with a few horror stories - {these are not meant to scare you away from reloading but rather to encourage you to always follow all the safety precautions and heed the warnings in the manuals for a safe and long Handloading journey}. Any Shoot Will Do, The A-Square Handloading and Rifle Manual, page 16: Let’s start with guys who didn’t read the safety chapter. All of these are real incidents involving experienced reloaders. #1, A commercial handloader producing handgun cartridges in quantity used to begin his day by filling a coffee can with primers to pour into the machine. He would pull out each tray and, with a flick of the wrist, empty it into the can. One day he used too much flick: one primer went off, initiating a chain reaction that filled the air with shrapnel and cost him both his eyes." [a commercial reloader that thought about how many rounds he had loaded and never had a problem whereby he did not bother with safety or safety glasses, until one day he wished he had taken heed to the warnings, but it was too late by then.] The Complete Handloader, John Wootters, page 37: The Power of Primers Never under estimate the potency of priming compounds. ... a workman at a priming manufacturing facility was carrying a bucket of loose primers ... and the whole bucket detonated. ... they never found any part of the workman except his shoes. An acquaintance of mine had ... about a hundred rifle primers detonate in a plastic medicine vial in his left hand. He lost his hand and the sight in his left eye, and he underwent a series of operations for cosmetic repairs to his face, arm, and upper body, suffering a great deal of pain, a staggering financial setback, and the loss of part of his livelihood. He was a gunsmith. Primer Precautions Such tragedies illustrate the inherent explosive power of small-arms primers, but they can be avoided totally by understanding and adhering to a few simple precautions. The first is never store primers in any kind of container other than the original factory packaging. The second is go back and reread that last sentence several times. Do not keep live primers, however few, loose in any sort of miscellaneous container, and most especially not one made of glass. A fellow TH-camr told a story of hand priming in his Lazyboy chair when one went off. They found the lid to the primer tray stuck in the ceiling above the chair. According to the story it had just missed his face. So be extra sure not to have it aimed at your face when hand priming with these tools. And safety glasses would be a very good idea as mentioned throughout all the reloading manual over and over again.

Are you using regular paper towels??

I was hoping to see an almost full primer tube on a progressive press blow out and split open the blast tube. Well, as they say, better luck next time.

Why was your wallet not in your back pocket?

I was reloading with friends when a cap exploded scared the crap out of all. We investigated a bit and found a rat missing most of it's head.

should be siting down not leaning over the press.standing where he is you can not see if there is a problem.

Next...it happens

Very helpful. Thank you.

I use a bench mounted priming tool. RCBS. And this is why I use only a single stage press, also RCBS, so I can feel the parts coming together. This is a "G" rated post ...

My favorite part is listening to the armchair quarterbacks, you're all right, but i like listening to people that never make mistakes!

This is why I stick to my dillion auto reloaders, no more squibs or fear of over pressured rounds. But yeah never slam primers😉

That’s why I prefer a hand priming tool. It’s slower, but you can feel the seating better and prevent something like this. Oh, yes. And ALWAYS wear eye protection.

This is why I use a single hand operated primer. I ease the primer into the pocket. So far.... so good.

Buy a Hand Priming Tool and get a better feel of Primer Seating !. Primer Pocket Prepping is a Must on Military Brass !. There’s no need to Seat Primers with the Force of a Loading Press unless you are Seating 50 BMG Primers !. I have been Reloading for 30 years and have Never set off a Single Primer when seating them !.

And THAT, boys and girls, is why you ALWAYS wear safety eye protection.

Protect your eyes at all times when reloading.

Probably Federal primers, they are so soft.

The ol'press pop. Always a good time

That's a good and thorough review

A comfortable pair of eye pro will run $20-$30 and will last years with proper care. They can live on the bench. Put them on, and put them right back in their spot when you're done. A trivial price to pay for that remote possibility of otherwise losing an eye.

Are you still carrying that trifold wallet?

BEEN THERE, DONE THAT MANY TIMES RELOADING , ESP. ON 1050 & 750XL .223'S!!!!

Not sure what was louder.

I’ve used the RCBS Universal Hand Primer, thousands of rounds and still no carpel tunnel syndrome. Works great, you get a good feel for how hard you seat the primer (you can stop before it pops), I haven’t had one go off using this tool. I very slightly opened up the large primer insert, so that I can also seat Berdan primers.

Been there once, using a LEE Loader. I had a good, productive rhythm going while reloading a 40-round batch and near the end of the priming set, I ended up over-percussing one. I had safety glasses on. Let freedom ring (in my ears)!
