Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

😁Very True!

@@LarryClark-m2i I may have seen some back in the day. But not sure it’s produced much anymore. Seems like short and long rifle cornered the market

Thanks for watching and I appreciate your kind words. I've been carrying my P365 in the Shorty now for about a year and have not had any issues with the magazine release. So although I understand your concern, it hasn't been an issue for me. My spare tire has yet to release the magazine while carrying. The holster does protrude out a little around the release. So although I can't say it would be impossible for something to activate the button, it seems to me to be very unlikely. Hope that helps!

@@texmexshoots Thanks so much! I like this holster! Don't worry about that spare tire, middle age = age around the middle!

Thanks for watching! I'll look into the Green Mountain barrels. I've heard that they produce a similar tapered barrel like the LVT.

@texmexshoots get the 19", they have both stainless & blued.

Thanks for watching! I had replied earlier but youtube sometime erases stuff for some unknown reason. Those bulk packs were the best you could get back then. They worked well even out of semi-autos. I'm happy I was able to bring back some great childhood memories. Take care and stay safe!

I think any of those rifles would make a great squirrel hunter. Although I would give the nod to the Tikka based on how well I was able to adjust the stock trigger and on how accurate it was right out of the box. I agree that they can be a little tricky to find. Good luck and I hope you find one at a good deal!

Thanks for watching! I had replied earlier but apparently some youtube glitch took it down. The single six is a great and versatile revolver. The sight radius on the 9.5" version should make it an accurate shooter. Hope you are able to find one at a deal!

Thanks for watching! It is a great little pistol and I appreciate how the two tone looks. Like you said, it is an excellent conceal carry handgun. Take care and stay safe!

Thanks for watching! The T1x really is an amazing rifle. I did a follow up video testing some different loads and it seemed to like the Eley Match too. Take care and stay safe!

Thanks for watching! It is an old bag. Many have recommended I use a bag for the buttstock too.

Interesting. I haven't had the particular issue happen. I would check and make sure the hammer rebound strut is engaged correctly. You will need to pull off the stock to check it.

⁠​⁠@@texmexshootsthanks for the reply. The strut seems to be engaging correctly. There’s a tiny bit of vertical slop in the breech bolt, so it’s not pushing down on the hammer hard enough when it goes back. I’m thinking maybe pre-cleaning there was more friction when the bolt made contact with the hammer. I’m waiting on a reduced power spring which may remedy the problem. I’ve read some people weld a bit more material to the top of the hammer, but I’m not sure if I want to go that route.

@@houseoflibra Sounds like you are on the right path. Hopefully the new spring will fix the issue. If not, although it is hard to find parts for the 39a due to them being out of production for some time now, you might be able to find a spare bolt and see if that helps.

Thanks for the advice! I will try that next time. I don't have much experience with big bore revolvers. At least not much with anything over a 44 mag.

@texmexshoots I used to shoot a amateur long range. 300 yards. Put over 10 k rounds found holding it this way lessons the pain.

@ I very much appreciate your insight. I can only imagine how hard it to hit targets out to 300 yards with a pistol.

Thanks for subscribing! The T1x is am amazing rifle. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks for watching and for sharing your harrowing experience with us. The PM9 is a great pistol and is the gold standard for 9mm pocket carry. Sadly I have not had the chance to test the Bodyguard 2.0 yet. It seems to be almost the same size as the Max, with the slide being just a bit longer. It's on my short list of handguns to buy, so when I get one I promise to do a comparison.

@@texmexshoots Thanks, will be looking forward to your comparison of the two pocket .380s

Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!

Yeah, that would probably help 😁 Do you have any recommendation?

Thanks for watching! I just looked up the adjustment on this sight and it is also 1 moa per click.

Actually an easement road behind me. You have good ears!

I appreciate you watching! You are correct, I posted velocities for the different loads. I suppose I should have done some math and posted the fp energy.

@@ShsjwjxDjejejd Thank you for watching! The Jericho was the first pistol I was able to shoot very well straight out of the box. The grip fits my hand amazingly well.

@@forddavis9306 Thanks! I really love this rifle. I had wanted a 22 hornet for years and am glad I settled on this one. The set trigger is dangerously light, but makes for some accurate shooting.

@@bucmasterson372 yes sir, that is certainly true. This particular model Marlin is just a little easier since it ejects to the side. Thank you for watching, take care and stay safe!

@@russmichael1165 thanks for watching! Those Skinner sights are great. Put one on my model 39a and it really tightened up my groups.

@@steverugerguy9606 yeah, getting old is no fun when it comes to eyesight. Like you I’m in my 50s and didn’t have to wear glasses until I hit my 40s. It’s like our warranty expires.😅. I think all the rifles you are considering are good firearms. However, I only have one Rossi and although I love mine and I have had no issues with it, many people online complain about quality control. I only have a sample of one when it comes to this new production marlin as well but the fit and finish is really nice and They seem to be getting positive reviews from many people out there.

Thanks Cervus! I think you are correct in that when shooting from a bag, I wasn't fully cycling the action which caused some of the feeding issues. Once I worked the lever freely, it seemed to be fine. I'll keep an eye out for the CZ 75 video! I'm heading out but will occasionally check youtube. As for the spring, I don't know any sites off hand. It is something I would have to research. The CZ 75 is such a classic pistol that I expect there should be a few websites out there selling factory and after market parts. If it has seen a lot of rounds, the recoil spring might be a bit worn out potentially causing feeding issues.

Lol! He could just turn his target upside down and use the other side! Shots drifting to the left could be due to many different reasons. Likely it is an issue with how someone is pulling the trigger or squeezing their grip while firing. I'll have to do some more tests with this one to see if it is me or the revolver. However it is likely just me.

Thanks for watching Tom! I'll reach out to him and see if he remembers.

My buddy hasn't responded so I did a little research myself. I think this is the one he bought: wildwilddill.com/product/buttstock-cartridge-sleeve-with-adjustable-anti-slide-loop-gunstock-cuff-with-cartridge-holders-hunters-holder-with-suede-cheek-pad-147/

My friend finally responded and I did get it right. That is the website he purchased it from.

Thanks for the advice Bruce! I need all I can get. So I should keep it upright and load in from the side?

@@texmexshoots Agree with Bruce and yes load with it tilted to your convenience and expect some issues with the 38s versus smoother cycling with the 357. This is based on non-marlin lever gun but similar action. A deliberate and full forward to the stop and smooth but quick return to battery position on the lever will help with cycling.

@ Thanks for the advice Kevin! I really do appreciate it.

I am grateful to Ruger for starting to produce some of the classic Marlin rifles.

Thanks Jojo! I'll try to get out with in the next month or so and see how it groups some different ammo once I get the scope mounted.

Thanks! I agree, people should be able to modify their own rifles to whatever works best for them. Take care and stay safe!

I will admit, I have a habit of mispronouncing different words. But if you are talking about Aguila, in my defense it is produced in latin america.

I had to look up what the xythos was. That's a neat tiny revolver!

I appreciate the criticism. To be fair, the trigger has improved immensely over the last 200 rounds. This was a straight out of the box review and it seems the trigger needed some time to smoothen out.

Thanks Frank! Wish it had a top or side loading battery, but other than that it looks good. Lets see how it holds up on the Beretta APX A1.

@texmexshoots Did you see my comment about red v. green? Put up a couple multicolored targets and try the dots on different colors. A local gun shop would install colored inserts for front sights. You could point their samples at various targets mounted by the ceiling. Pink was their preferred color for inserts. Not orange, not red. But bright PINK! It stood out the best.

@@frankhinkle5772 Makes sense! The pink should stand out better against different colored backgrounds. I need to go finds some bright pink nail polish to touch up the front sights on some of my pistols 😁

@@texmexshoots I use a BRIGHT GREEN Testers paint on my AR front sight. It's what I had. You, on the other hand, are a girl Dad. I don't expect your pink nail polish will go to waste.

@@frankhinkle5772 Yup! 😄 Plus I am always amazed at how durable the nail polish is. As long as I make sure the sight is nice and clean, with no oil or grease residue, the polish stays on even during cleaning with solvents. However I do make sure to put two to three coats of polish and let it fully dry between applications.

Nice family heirloom! I would look around and see if you can find a taller post. Skinner sights sells some front posts of different heights, but I honestly don't know if the dovetail dimensions are the same. Or like I did on one of my single action 22 pistols, I put a bead of silver solder on the top of the front post. Gave me the extra height I needed.

Thanks for watching! Yes, it is fortunate that after market buffers and other parts exist. Allowing owners to keep these rifles running. In fact many of the newer parts are a bit more durable than the originals. Such as the newer buffer replacements.

Thanks for watching. Yeah I hear you, rimfires are a finicky bunch!

Interesting. On both counts, the cylinder being fluted and lacking a 22 mag stamp. Could be various reasons I suppose. Maybe it was a special run, or limited edition. Or it is an after market one he bought. Someone could have even purchased a 22lr one and had it bored out for 22 magnum.

I don't know if P Diddy has some pull at youtube since it erased my last response 🤣 Just make sure to clean out your chamber once you have fired off a good amount of this ammo.

Thanks Buddy! I hope you are enjoying your Sunday.

@@texmexshoots Been editing all day long. Got a 30 minute + Night Fox Swift II night vision video going live tomorrow.

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday!

I agree. Top and side loaders make un-mounting unnecessary. Thanks for watching!

I'm not tex, but I am a gun tuber, so that must make me some sort o' eggsburt, right? LOL To me red dots are better in forest/woods/jungle. Green dots are better in arctic/snow. In all other environments I don't think one is any better than the other. YMMV.

Thanks for chiming in Valorius! I expect you have more experience than me using optics in different conditions so I very much appreciate your insight. I agree with your assessment as well. A proper brightness setting is also important. Thanks for watching Jojo!

@@texmexshoots Yep. Also: auto brightness is terrible. Never rely on that with any current generation red dot. They all stink.

@@Valorius What about urban environments? Maybe put a red dot up against some targets with many colors on them to test red v. green.

@@frankhinkle5772 I think that it would end up being a wash, with green being slightly better vs some backgrounds/colors, and red being better vs others. I use red exclusively nowadays.

Thanks for the heads up Wilton! I appreciate the recommendation in the ammo.

Thanks for watching! I've heard that a little polishing of the Rossi's inner workings can lead to great improvement with its function.

Thanks for watching Randy! Makes lots of sense. Thank you for sharing the info on how to check the function.
