Anyone who's ever fired a stocked pistol in my experience instantly sees the merits. I've fired a hand full of NFA exempt C&R stocked pistols, the compact size, and light weight of a pistol coupled with the extra stability of a stock make for an extremely user friendly firearm. The NFA (and the current pistol brace nonsense coming from the ATF) is really putting a damper on what I would argue is one of the most effective personal defense setups (it's almost like they're called PDWs for a reason)
Are really gonna carry that peice on your hip with stock and all ...and if we talking about home defense it's the shotgun one shot that all ...unless you gonna carry that every where you go and look like a public shooter ...the stocks are only for gun ranges and shooting competitions not for self defense on the streets home but shotguns are better for home defense....unless your going to shoot someone up or do a drive by or going to Afghanistan for suburban gun fights those pistol stocks are pointless and just feeding into the gun fantasy
Yeah people think it's mall ninja shit, until they realize how easy it is to shoot with an extra point of contact.

i keep a three day bag in my truck. I have a 40min commute to an area that can easily become isolated due to weather/natural disaster. I keep a toiletry bag in it that is the same I use camping or traveling. extra pair of pants, two shirts and three pairs of socks and underroos. If I could more easily run a PDW in California I would totally have one in that bag. This has gotten a bit off track but I would call Brass Facts bag a 3day bag and CameraChads bag a EDC bag.

excellent point about the idea of having a suppressor in an urban setting, in the 'new normal'. Ive been tossing back and forth which to buy next, NV or a suppressor.
Something I’d like to see is a 5.7 pdw with the mag in the grip of the firearm. Keep it simple with a direct blowback system so even cheap .22 cans will work with no boosters. Have a rear pic rail and an optic mount that isn’t on the slide so the window doesn’t bounce that much. Have slim but high cap mags. That or have civvie mp7s
If I could get a Flux Raider in 10mm, I'd be sold. I use my vehicle in the mountains for long drives, and occasionally take hikes when I'm deep in. Basically, my practical usage for a sub-caliber PDW is based around wildlife, rather than people. When I'm in my vehicle I can easily manage something short and of high-enough caliber to handle a bear. But on a hike that's way more than I want to carry, and to conceal it would mean a draw time that could only be described as pointless and foolhardy. But I'd also like something bigger than 9mm if I'm that deep in the woods, so a common PDW ain't gonna cut it. Open carrying something rifle-caliber would also be a risk. I love doing stuff at night, and the last thing I want is a Game Warden coming across me and thinking I'm poaching. 10mm would be enough for me to feel comfortable carrying it for bear, and in a Flux-type package would also be easily concealable.
I EDC my Calipers, they're probably my most used tool behind my flashlight. But I found that TSA thinks they look like a weapon on a scanner. Got stopped to and from SHOT. 😅
I'm also a lefty and I use that bag. I think it's faster as a left handed person because you're able to pull the tab with your right hand and reach in with the left while the right is pulling the tab.
I love the set up you guys have. I live in a state that is becoming rapidly less 2a friendly so I'm a bit jelly, so something like this will probably be a no go in the very near future. Keep up the good work, maybe I'll run into you in the desert some day.
Fun idea, fanny/waist pack for that pouch that carries ammo and IFAK supplies. You could quickly attach said bag to your waist comfortably, unlike attaching a large molle pouch to your belt, which would be connected less than optimally and would take longer to attach to your belt.
We need this in larger pistol calibers. 10mm or hot loaded 45 (hue hue hue 460 Rowland) would be amazing. Not just as a SHTF setup but as a wildlife defense gun a 10mm pdw would be an amazing option for hikes in the woods
@@BrassFacts This might be a foolish question, but if the fcg is the only registered part why isn’t there some Chinese company pumping flux raider-esque chassis’ out? Is the market too small, or is there some funky import law that just flew over my head or something?
@@Sosaparks the economy of scale isn’t there. They can’t pump out hundredths of thousands of them with super cheep materals like the shitty red dots, etc.
Im looking at picking up an mp5k and some soft armor for exactly this reason. Things continue to get more and more silly, and it doesn't hurt to have a step up in capability sometimes
Plenty of vendors out there, but for hot climates would still recommend pure aramid (Kevlar/Twaron) construction to avoid delamination and progressive weakening of the panels if you accidentally leave it in your car on a summer day.
@@danielfly3871 what you suggested is 24 inches long, what I was talking about is 13. The banshee falls well outside the size parameters I'm looking for
I was going down the PCC route but found that the MCX in the 6.75 300bo config actually fit the same applications ie my particular bag sizes, vehicle storage etc. I think I'd be interested though in a Flux/Roni type system for perhaps the new 10mm 320 or the new 5.7 M&P. ETA - I still have the urge to add a GHM9 compact or TP9 loadout to the arms room!
Please. Do not buy a tp9 until you fry fire one. If you as dumb as me, the first one you lay your hands on is one you bought from the internet. You will be very dissatisfied.
Meh. 5.7 out of a pistol is super lame. You were right to go the shorty .300 BLK. Your getting way more capability and versatility. Albeit at more weight.
I have that same vertex sling bag. It's pretty nice. But one thing I don't like about it is that if I'm carrying anything over 10lbs, my shoulder will feel the fatigue really quickly.
@@BrassFacts My question is did he utilize the added strap to carry it more like a backpack? My guess is that would have taken some of the load off his shoulder... Guess I'll find out when mine arrives next week
@@cevisuals that strap helps a bit. But majority of the weight will still be concentrated on one of your shoulder. If I carry a pistol with three spare mags + a laptop, I can only carry it for about 30 minutes then it will become quite uncomfortable.
I had pretty much given up on PCCs over a SBR but brass facts convinced me there’s definitely room for them, specially if they are as compact as the TP9/TP380. Does anybody knows a clone that takes Glock mags? I kinda have a collection of them, specifically of the extra long variety, the type Y T doesn’t like to be shown on video…
I mean, if you’re into 3D printing, there’s a bunch of files out there for free of Glock-based PDW’s. The model is called the Invader. There’s models for G19’s, G17’s, G34’s, G17L’s, and even a G20L 😉 Oh yeah and there’s a file that uses the P320 FCU too.
I feel like carrying around night vision in a city setting for a “get home bag” is a bit excessive. You got to remember that takes batteries and in that scenario your not gonna have a place to recharge. In a true bug out bag sure but in something I’m carrying around I’d rather carry extra batteries for white light and medical
Iv had the gray ghost pack almost a year now goes with me everywhere. All I have to say is thank you it’s literally perfect. On another note, my GLX 2.5-10 is on the way and my nips are stiff, love your videos man one of my favorite channels no doubt
I have a CMMG Dissent 5.7x28 and FN Five-seveN MKIII in my bag. With 5.7 I can carry 400 extra rnds with minimum weight and space taken up. In my waistline I always have a FN 509CT. I know the 5.7 is a hated round but it fits my needs perfectly.
Wooooo Dissent gang. I also like spending a bunch of money on ammo so I got the .300 blackout Dissent + strike industries folder. Fun pistol to conceal so long as you have a jacket on
You should take a look at the unobtainium gear LV-9. Supposed to be a low vis chest rig. I feel like that would work really well in a civilian unrest situation. Looks very minimal and would easily hide under an over shirt or jacket. Quick access to a couple mags or tournament/radio but nothing more. Gonna try one out when they are back in stock.
First time seeing this channel and enjoyed it. You guys are, in a nutshell, who and why I did what I did and do what I do. Keep training fellas and go get you some when it’s time to get you some 🇺🇸
I feel like the justifications for the B&T would also apply to the Flux if you had the available side rails and a proper threaded barrel + can. For me, the added benefit of the Flux is that I can pull it out of the Raider and have it available as a CCW where the grey bags won’t be permissible. Same reason I keep the MDR. Ultra low profile and fits into a bag where other rifles would stick out and cause problems.
@@BrassFacts also, I have pics of my grey bag with Flux and the BF patch. Not sure if you guys have a discord or a place to send them but it’s cool to have a Flux patch on the Flux bag. Dog sold separately.
I’m working on setting up my travel bag, but I’m taking a little bit different of an approach. I travel all over the state every day for work, it’s not out of the ordinary to be 100 miles from home on a daily basis, so I’m making a contingency bag. It it will live my 12.5” and 24 hours of sustainment. But I want a little more capability, and I’m willing to carry it into the house every evening and back out to the car in the morning. Just different philosophies. All is good as long as you know your own reason “why”
I have an idea for a new video. Test the light emissions out the front of all red dots and holos and illuminated LPVOs and prisms you can get your hand on under night vision. Is it just fudd lore that an enemy with NVs would be able to see your scope emissions even when "passive" aiming? Or does it make sense that Sig wants to sell their $3k red dot without front reflection?
it depends, if the dot is cranked to 11, it's very lightly visible within about 20 yards (eotech included) Past that meh If it's on a low setting. No it's invisible
I really like a backpack for this kind of thing,mostly because you can put a ballistic panel in it and rock it backwards,when away from you plate carrier.
My civil unrest is full gear cuz that's when I'm staying home with food and supplies so you're either coming through the wrong window or i couldn't get my dog to shit in the bathtub.
My bag, that I take to work everyday, aside from having my party flavors, I also have food, first aid, change of clothes, things to wash myself with. It's not that light. My car even has change of boots and another jacket and a bunch of other stuff. Of course, the heavy stuff will be left behind if my car is down, but I'm mostly prepared to get the hell out of where I currently am.
Always look forward to your videos! Wow your clone with hair and glasses !! Who are we to judge your life style , keep up the good work.🤔 Also remember the mustaches really don't hide your identities nor get you chicks, just great EDC's do !
Here is another option way more convenient and less expensive. I carry a G19 concealed with raised tritium sights which has an orange dot on the front sight for daytime use, and two spare 15 rd mags in my pocket. I also carry in a day pack a weapons light and the original version of the 14 inch USA One Shot non NFA pistol brace which is both very light, compact, and sturdy, and two candy bars ( 31 rd mags). I haven’t needed a laser but a combo light laser might just make it a perfect system. I don’t need or want a can, or for a can to hang me up in tight spaces. My current in the pants draw is very quick and I am not willing to sacrifice that. Nor do I want a heavy day pack. I agree with your concept. When it’s time for a AR 15 we won’t need to hide it. A pistol carbine is more realistic. My setup is for every day carry. If you want to plus up your defense a Dynema plate ( Vism) 3A plate or strike face 3A plus are lighter in weight than steel and can fit in a small day pack ( 10X12) or messenger bag. Stay safe
i keep the 380 in my pocket, its really my plan C, plan A is my glock 26 appendix, plan B is threaded dagger in my satchel bag. this is my every day carry on the norm. fx-9 with Obsidian 45 for the backpack, on sylvan arms folder for the buffer tube.
The suppressor can definitely come in handy, for both the reasons he gives. As well as, I don't mind going a little bit deaf for a minute. But in shit situation, that loss of hearing can really screw you over. Plus who doesn't want to be able to attack silently, like a ninja or assassin.
I travel a lot in a company Toyota Tacoma. Quickly found out my 8” ar 9 or 8” 300 blk took up a lot of space. Now, I just carry a bunch of Glock mags and my 19 w/ a x300 and 507c. Also bring a obsidian 45, but will eventually get a cgs mod9sk to keep things small. I would love to get the magpul/zev folding gun. That would be a perfect gun for someone like me who travels. My go to bag for work and carrying has been a mystery ranch 32l back back. I don’t have the gear squared away like you do, but it does keep spare clothes and stuff. The med kit I do have stays in the truck, incase of a job site emergency.
Saw you running that Strike Industries! What are you thoughts on it compared to the Flux Raider and TP9? Lefty as well looking to get one of those options for my PDW
@@MyLonewolf25 I wouldn't, TBH. I don't like the lack of a safety, but even if you don't care the fit and finish is very rough. Like I had to sand the chassis so it wouldn't rough up and make my hands raw (where the beavertail would be). The glock will wiggle in the chassis, which means the side mounted red dot mount (optional extra) probably doesn't hold the best zero. When you tense up on the brace (not with my shoulder, don't shoot my dog ATF) the whole thing flexes. I know you can make plastic stronger than that. To clean it, you have to take it apart with a screw. One day I will lose the screw, or fuck up the threads, or strip it. You will also probably mess up your zero. All in all, I wouldn't recommend it other than to try the concept to see if you would like something like the flux raider. I have it on an airsoft gun now; waiting for the glock raider to release.
Im not sure if it was ever on your radar but a faust systems d rig if it ever is in stock. Curious what you take would be on it and i would totally put money towards helping acquire one. Great video
I’ve been opening up to the PDW so much more now than ever before. That being said, with current things going on in the world, I have been wrestling between a carbine and a PDW
Wish there was a decent review of the recover tactical brace system WITH the optic mount attachment. Unfortunately where I live behind enemy lines that is the only attainable pdw setup.
I work in armed protection, so I always have my plate carrier, rifle, spare mags, water, pistol, flashlight with spare battery pack I can charge devices with, gloves, snacks, hoodie and jacket that are big enough I can put over plate carrier and no one would ever know I was wearing body armor.

Dude..... I need some help....... I have watched like 50 of your videos today trying to figure out what the name of the song at the introduction of this video. I would love to listen to it. But can't future out what it is. I would appreciate it if you helped me find it. Thanks! As always appreciate your content and perspective.
I like the idea of having something with multiple points of contact, can be deployed fairly quickly and if it takes interchangeable mags with your edc than just bonus points right? I used to have a 9mm pcc for my bag gun but wanted a rifle round and now switch from a Galil Ace Gen 2 x39 8.3” and an AR in 300blk but both take fairly good sized backpacks to carry. Would be nice having something like a B&T or Flux. Something that small that you can have a decent sized bags instead you f a 40L backpack lol
@@BrassFacts thanks for the reply and I was looking at the tp9 but it seems flimsy as well as expensive. Chassis pistols don't have enough rail space and also seems flimsy. And seeing how bunch of covert people use them back in like the 70s and 80s it seems like it might be a good option especially since it has all that capability for mounting tactical whizz-bangs
Suppressors are cool but waiting in there ATF to approve sending my suppressor to my FFL for 3 weeks is even cooler. Agree with you statement about suppressor. Its WW Z when shots go off in civil unrest.
I am still on the fence about using a stock and holo sight attachment on a pistol, even though I’ve put in about 200 hours of range time with them. 🤔 Not being a hater, but I guess it just isn’t for me. Good to see that you are quite competent and comfortable with it, and that is what is important. Your kit looks awesome. Thank you for sharing this video.
I like your videos. I’m really fluctuating on whether to get that TP nine suppressor or not for my TP9. I have a rugged obsidian nine and a wolfman that should be approved any day hopefully so the TP9 suppressor would literally be for that gun only. Is it’s sound performance, any good? It’s so large you would think it would be good but it’s that new reduced back pressure design and I’ve heard some comments that it’s not as quiet as the old one. I don’t know whether to invest money in one or just buy an extra barrel guide, and have it modified for the WolfmanQ m

But on a hike that's way more than I want to carry, and to conceal it would mean a draw time that could only be described as pointless and foolhardy. But I'd also like something bigger than 9mm if I'm that deep in the woods, so a common PDW ain't gonna cut it. Open carrying something rifle-caliber would also be a risk. I love doing stuff at night, and the last thing I want is a Game Warden coming across me and thinking I'm poaching. 10mm would be enough for me to feel comfortable carrying it for bear, and in a Flux-type package would also be easily concealable.
I believe it's on their to do list.
Obviously they need to fix their mold first and make some money first.
@@BrassFacts how bad is their production if selling out faster that Supreme products isn’t making them money
@@joshuabrown7815 if they have to keep changing their molds, expensive. A set of production molds can run into the 6 figures pretty easy.
Why not original flavor flux on a 10mm Glock, with a dot?
@Joshua Jones good idea.
Stay safe and "mostly peaceful" Kings! 👍👆💪
He looks like a modern day Josey Wales in that poncho! Nova is such a sweetheart. Thanks for the share!!
I EDC my Calipers, they're probably my most used tool behind my flashlight. But I found that TSA thinks they look like a weapon on a scanner. Got stopped to and from SHOT. 😅
calipers are surprisingly useful
I'm also a lefty and I use that bag. I think it's faster as a left handed person because you're able to pull the tab with your right hand and reach in with the left while the right is pulling the tab.
I love the set up you guys have. I live in a state that is becoming rapidly less 2a friendly so I'm a bit jelly, so something like this will probably be a no go in the very near future. Keep up the good work, maybe I'll run into you in the desert some day.
Let me guess, Washington? I fucking hate it here as of late
@@Terabit3 Yep, you are quite correct.
@@Terabit3 Literally was gunna come and say that. Fuck Inslee!
He looks so serious.. with the hair cut and mustache… all he’s missing is a “blue jacket” to double as a 1990’s ATF boi… 😂
that's the plot twist.
@@BrassFacts 😂
Fun idea, fanny/waist pack for that pouch that carries ammo and IFAK supplies. You could quickly attach said bag to your waist comfortably, unlike attaching a large molle pouch to your belt, which would be connected less than optimally and would take longer to attach to your belt.
We need this in larger pistol calibers. 10mm or hot loaded 45 (hue hue hue 460 Rowland) would be amazing. Not just as a SHTF setup but as a wildlife defense gun a 10mm pdw would be an amazing option for hikes in the woods
yeah, but for now, probably we just need a modern PDW setup that doesn't cost 2k and suck, or is unobtainable.
Baby steps haha.
@@BrassFacts This might be a foolish question, but if the fcg is the only registered part why isn’t there some Chinese company pumping flux raider-esque chassis’ out? Is the market too small, or is there some funky import law that just flew over my head or something?
@@Sosaparks not sure.
@@Sosaparks the economy of scale isn’t there. They can’t pump out hundredths of thousands of them with super cheep materals like the shitty red dots, etc.
One of the best shows ever. I comeback to watch it evrry couple years
Im looking at picking up an mp5k and some soft armor for exactly this reason. Things continue to get more and more silly, and it doesn't hurt to have a step up in capability sometimes
I need new softarmor. I have a mystery meat one that's be carrying me for some time. But it's kinda icky.
Plenty of vendors out there, but for hot climates would still recommend pure aramid (Kevlar/Twaron) construction to avoid delamination and progressive weakening of the panels if you accidentally leave it in your car on a summer day.
@@BrassFacts both Premier armor & Safelife defense make good products.
Get something like a cmmg banshee the more modern firearms are much easier to put optics lights and such on and mags are cheaper.
@@danielfly3871 what you suggested is 24 inches long, what I was talking about is 13. The banshee falls well outside the size parameters I'm looking for
I was going down the PCC route but found that the MCX in the 6.75 300bo config actually fit the same applications ie my particular bag sizes, vehicle storage etc. I think I'd be interested though in a Flux/Roni type system for perhaps the new 10mm 320 or the new 5.7 M&P. ETA - I still have the urge to add a GHM9 compact or TP9 loadout to the arms room!
The ghm9 with an upgraded trigger is cool. But you can get into a Ap5p cheaper and it’s a lot more fun.
Please. Do not buy a tp9 until you fry fire one. If you as dumb as me, the first one you lay your hands on is one you bought from the internet. You will be very dissatisfied.
@@caseysmith8831 Definitely taking your advice on the TP9 😄
Another thing, the GHM9 is not nearly as compact as it looks. Theres a massive area behind the pistol grip that takes up a lot of room.
Meh. 5.7 out of a pistol is super lame. You were right to go the shorty .300 BLK. Your getting way more capability and versatility. Albeit at more weight.
Background Hop is hot.
I have that same vertex sling bag. It's pretty nice. But one thing I don't like about it is that if I'm carrying anything over 10lbs, my shoulder will feel the fatigue really quickly.
he carried it all day a shot. He was dying at the end
Get stronger. 😜
@@BrassFacts My question is did he utilize the added strap to carry it more like a backpack? My guess is that would have taken some of the load off his shoulder... Guess I'll find out when mine arrives next week
@@cevisuals that strap helps a bit. But majority of the weight will still be concentrated on one of your shoulder. If I carry a pistol with three spare mags + a laptop, I can only carry it for about 30 minutes then it will become quite uncomfortable.
2 guys... watching netflix... getting to know eachother...
nah man we were just netflix and chil--- FUCK I see the issue
@@BrassFacts i love your content bro. Thanks for what you do.
As God intended 🙏
right as i cranked up my volume you got super close to the mic and made GHETTO ASS SHIT echo through my basement 10/10
that's some ghetto ass shit
I had pretty much given up on PCCs over a SBR but brass facts convinced me there’s definitely room for them, specially if they are as compact as the TP9/TP380. Does anybody knows a clone that takes Glock mags? I kinda have a collection of them, specifically of the extra long variety, the type Y T doesn’t like to be shown on video…
the B&T glock PDW is honestly the ticket in that regard.
@@BrassFacts I didn’t know that was a thing. Time for some digging with my local FFL. Thanks!
@@BrassFacts Would you be making a video on this? I am very interested.
I mean, if you’re into 3D printing, there’s a bunch of files out there for free of Glock-based PDW’s. The model is called the Invader. There’s models for G19’s, G17’s, G34’s, G17L’s, and even a G20L 😉
Oh yeah and there’s a file that uses the P320 FCU too.
The paused video of Hop judging everyone in the background is just 👌
Best channel on yt
I feel like carrying around night vision in a city setting for a “get home bag” is a bit excessive. You got to remember that takes batteries and in that scenario your not gonna have a place to recharge. In a true bug out bag sure but in something I’m carrying around I’d rather carry extra batteries for white light and medical
For sure.
its mostly when I travel away from home.
If I dont leave the city I just bring the flux
Babe wake up new Brassfacts video just dropped
I don’t know why I haven’t seen your channel before. But I’m hooked now
Thanks for the episode of "Two guys one microphone cup". Good to see y'all! Best regards,

Iv had the gray ghost pack almost a year now goes with me everywhere. All I have to say is thank you it’s literally perfect. On another note, my GLX 2.5-10 is on the way and my nips are stiff, love your videos man one of my favorite channels no doubt
As a fellow glx 2.5-10 user, you will enjoy it
I’ve been tempted to get one, but I’m put off by how large(I think) the chevron will be.
I love my grey ghost bag
@@kevinfitzpatrick5949 Yeah you were right man loving it so far.
@@50shadesofcerakote and in my opinion it’s way less obtrusive than I was expecting. Very happy with it.
Its great seeing hop in these videos
The fact that more people aren't subscribed to you is astonishing.
Love your content. Wish I had land and terrain available like that.
I came here for the bag load out and left with some quality feelsgoodman dog footage, and bag load out ideas. Thanks BF!
I have a CMMG Dissent 5.7x28 and FN Five-seveN MKIII in my bag.
With 5.7 I can carry 400 extra rnds with minimum weight and space taken up.
In my waistline I always have a FN 509CT.
I know the 5.7 is a hated round but it fits my needs perfectly.
Wooooo Dissent gang.
I also like spending a bunch of money on ammo so I got the .300 blackout Dissent + strike industries folder. Fun pistol to conceal so long as you have a jacket on
@@32Thomasthetrain lmao, you aren't kidding 5.7 and 300blk owners are in a special expensive club.
You should take a look at the unobtainium gear LV-9. Supposed to be a low vis chest rig. I feel like that would work really well in a civilian unrest situation. Looks very minimal and would easily hide under an over shirt or jacket. Quick access to a couple mags or tournament/radio but nothing more. Gonna try one out when they are back in stock.
1:42 love the custom mic stand!😂 I have hung mine from the ceiling fan a time or 2 lol
First time seeing this channel and enjoyed it. You guys are, in a nutshell, who and why I did what I did and do what I do. Keep training fellas and go get you some when it’s time to get you some 🇺🇸
I feel like the justifications for the B&T would also apply to the Flux if you had the available side rails and a proper threaded barrel + can. For me, the added benefit of the Flux is that I can pull it out of the Raider and have it available as a CCW where the grey bags won’t be permissible. Same reason I keep the MDR. Ultra low profile and fits into a bag where other rifles would stick out and cause problems.
100%, the flux with a can is a better choice. Like I said, it's what I have, not really what I wanted in retrospect.
@@BrassFacts also, I have pics of my grey bag with Flux and the BF patch. Not sure if you guys have a discord or a place to send them but it’s cool to have a Flux patch on the Flux bag. Dog sold separately.
Hop chilling in the background.
I like how hop is there in spirit on the screenbin back.
I’m working on setting up my travel bag, but I’m taking a little bit different of an approach. I travel all over the state every day for work, it’s not out of the ordinary to be 100 miles from home on a daily basis, so I’m making a contingency bag.
It it will live my 12.5” and 24 hours of sustainment. But I want a little more capability, and I’m willing to carry it into the house every evening and back out to the car in the morning.
Just different philosophies. All is good as long as you know your own reason “why”
Really digging your channel. I'm learning a lot; as a new subscriber. I like your humility and the way you do humor. Nova is beautiful btw!!
I have an idea for a new video. Test the light emissions out the front of all red dots and holos and illuminated LPVOs and prisms you can get your hand on under night vision.
Is it just fudd lore that an enemy with NVs would be able to see your scope emissions even when "passive" aiming? Or does it make sense that Sig wants to sell their $3k red dot without front reflection?
it depends, if the dot is cranked to 11, it's very lightly visible within about 20 yards (eotech included)
Past that meh
If it's on a low setting. No it's invisible
Fudd are gonna lore. I’d be more worried about IR signature of clothing/gear.
I think it all depends on who your foe is, and what kind of tech they have.
I think your PDW video is your best. I think your standards for size are slightly too strict but the philosophy is great. I’ve considered it myself
I have some 300blk pdws im testing out to reacess.
Does adding your suppressor change aim of impact?
not much in my testing
I really like a backpack for this kind of thing,mostly because you can put a ballistic panel in it and rock it backwards,when away from you plate carrier.
Adapt, overcome, nice jury rig!
My civil unrest is full gear cuz that's when I'm staying home with food and supplies so you're either coming through the wrong window or i couldn't get my dog to shit in the bathtub.
My bag, that I take to work everyday, aside from having my party flavors, I also have food, first aid, change of clothes, things to wash myself with. It's not that light. My car even has change of boots and another jacket and a bunch of other stuff. Of course, the heavy stuff will be left behind if my car is down, but I'm mostly prepared to get the hell out of where I currently am.
Love the tactical flipflops.
Always look forward to your videos! Wow your clone with hair and glasses !! Who are we to judge your life style , keep up the good work.🤔 Also remember the mustaches really don't hide your identities nor get you chicks, just great EDC's do !
I bought this cameraman from the dollar store. I couldn't be picky
@@BrassFacts ok at least not at a Starbucks dating night
Here is another option way more convenient and less expensive. I carry a G19 concealed with raised tritium sights which has an orange dot on the front sight for daytime use, and two spare 15 rd mags in my pocket. I also carry in a day pack a weapons light and the original version of the 14 inch USA One Shot non NFA pistol brace which is both very light, compact, and sturdy, and two candy bars ( 31 rd mags). I haven’t needed a laser but a combo light laser might just make it a perfect system. I don’t need or want a can, or for a can to hang me up in tight spaces. My current in the pants draw is very quick and I am not willing to sacrifice that. Nor do I want a heavy day pack. I agree with your concept. When it’s time for a AR 15 we won’t need to hide it. A pistol carbine is more realistic. My setup is for every day carry. If you want to plus up your defense a Dynema plate ( Vism) 3A plate or strike face 3A plus are lighter in weight than steel and can fit in a small day pack ( 10X12) or messenger bag. Stay safe
Best video title EVER!!
i keep the 380 in my pocket,
its really my plan C,
plan A is my glock 26 appendix,
plan B is threaded dagger in my satchel bag.
this is my every day carry on the norm.
fx-9 with Obsidian 45 for the backpack, on sylvan arms folder for the buffer tube.
The suppressor can definitely come in handy, for both the reasons he gives. As well as, I don't mind going a little bit deaf for a minute. But in shit situation, that loss of hearing can really screw you over. Plus who doesn't want to be able to attack silently, like a ninja or assassin.
Ole brass facts reminds me of a situation where Trevor from GTA V and Ryan Reynolds had a baby. Love the videos
“No liquor!” That hit home man..
I travel a lot in a company Toyota Tacoma. Quickly found out my 8” ar 9 or 8” 300 blk took up a lot of space. Now, I just carry a bunch of Glock mags and my 19 w/ a x300 and 507c. Also bring a obsidian 45, but will eventually get a cgs mod9sk to keep things small. I would love to get the magpul/zev folding gun. That would be a perfect gun for someone like me who travels.
My go to bag for work and carrying has been a mystery ranch 32l back back. I don’t have the gear squared away like you do, but it does keep spare clothes and stuff. The med kit I do have stays in the truck, incase of a job site emergency.
You kidnapped Garand Thumb's side kick!
Saw you running that Strike Industries! What are you thoughts on it compared to the Flux Raider and TP9? Lefty as well looking to get one of those options for my PDW
I like the concept. The execution is very poor.
@@BrassFacts what’s bad about the execution of it?
@@MyLonewolf25 just rushed. badfitmen and design
@@BrassFacts what’s your opinion/experience with the recover tactical one then?
@@MyLonewolf25 I wouldn't, TBH. I don't like the lack of a safety, but even if you don't care the fit and finish is very rough. Like I had to sand the chassis so it wouldn't rough up and make my hands raw (where the beavertail would be). The glock will wiggle in the chassis, which means the side mounted red dot mount (optional extra) probably doesn't hold the best zero. When you tense up on the brace (not with my shoulder, don't shoot my dog ATF) the whole thing flexes. I know you can make plastic stronger than that. To clean it, you have to take it apart with a screw. One day I will lose the screw, or fuck up the threads, or strip it. You will also probably mess up your zero. All in all, I wouldn't recommend it other than to try the concept to see if you would like something like the flux raider. I have it on an airsoft gun now; waiting for the glock raider to release.
Love your practicality and simplicity , great video !
I love how Hop is there in background drinking a Miller Lite.
Im not sure if it was ever on your radar but a faust systems d rig if it ever is in stock. Curious what you take would be on it and i would totally put money towards helping acquire one. Great video
I’ve been opening up to the PDW so much more now than ever before. That being said, with current things going on in the world, I have been wrestling between a carbine and a PDW
What is that poncho at 1:25? That thing is fly as hell and practical, too.
Wish there was a decent review of the recover tactical brace system WITH the optic mount attachment. Unfortunately where I live behind enemy lines that is the only attainable pdw setup.
hop has one, but he's not really on the PDW train like I am.
This is great and all but what I really want to know is, what's the poncho from the shooting clips?
Interesting ideas and platform use I have a pistol carbine that is bigger but what I would use in this role might have to look more into it
I work in armed protection, so I always have my plate carrier, rifle, spare mags, water, pistol, flashlight with spare battery pack I can charge devices with, gloves, snacks, hoodie and jacket that are big enough I can put over plate carrier and no one would ever know I was wearing body armor.
FYI, you can use an H&K Tri Lug mount on a Beretta 92. ^_^ . It works with a suppressor that way.
i agree 100 I carry an MCK - its so steady and target acquisition is amazing
@brass facts you say you're gonna be doing a lot of traveling in the future...if you're ever in Texas, mainly d.f.w. area...give us a holla'! We love your stuff and your channel is one of the reasons we started ours.
That poncho set up looking straight out of Sunset Riders
I live in the Midwest. So most things aren’t likely to go down here. But in a civil unrest scenario. An ar platform is literally the perfect thing. And a full length one at that
Dude..... I need some help....... I have watched like 50 of your videos today trying to figure out what the name of the song at the introduction of this video. I would love to listen to it. But can't future out what it is. I would appreciate it if you helped me find it. Thanks! As always appreciate your content and perspective.
I'm personally holding out for the Disney or Netflix remake of band of brothers.
oh god please no.
You make a number of good points here. Thoughts on alternatives to the Flux for a Glock, considering they only make Sig models now?
there really isn't all that much out there, maybe the B&T one? Though I have my doubts about it holding zero.
I like the idea of having something with multiple points of contact, can be deployed fairly quickly and if it takes interchangeable mags with your edc than just bonus points right? I used to have a 9mm pcc for my bag gun but wanted a rifle round and now switch from a Galil Ace Gen 2 x39 8.3” and an AR in 300blk but both take fairly good sized backpacks to carry. Would be nice having something like a B&T or Flux. Something that small that you can have a decent sized bags instead you f a 40L backpack lol
Mac 11 for a pdw like the mpa using Glock mags, braced, light, Lazer and optic Thoughts?
could work. Haven't really messed with MACs tho
@@BrassFacts thanks for the reply and I was looking at the tp9 but it seems flimsy as well as expensive. Chassis pistols don't have enough rail space and also seems flimsy. And seeing how bunch of covert people use them back in like the 70s and 80s it seems like it might be a good option especially since it has all that capability for mounting tactical whizz-bangs
Suppressors are cool but waiting in there ATF to approve sending my suppressor to my FFL for 3 weeks is even cooler.
Agree with you statement about suppressor. Its WW Z when shots go off in civil unrest.
Came for Nova, stayed for Nova.
good call
Came for the facts , stayed for the beast
I am still on the fence about using a stock and holo sight attachment on a pistol, even though I’ve put in about 200 hours of range time with them. 🤔
Not being a hater, but I guess it just isn’t for me.
Good to see that you are quite competent and comfortable with it, and that is what is important. Your kit looks awesome. Thank you for sharing this video.
Training in flip flops is unironically a huge brain move.
💯 loved this. 💯 I wouldn't release this one to YT
I like your videos. I’m really fluctuating on whether to get that TP nine suppressor or not for my TP9. I have a rugged obsidian nine and a wolfman that should be approved any day hopefully so the TP9 suppressor would literally be for that gun only. Is it’s sound performance, any good? It’s so large you would think it would be good but it’s that new reduced back pressure design and I’ve heard some comments that it’s not as quiet as the old one. I don’t know whether to invest money in one or just buy an extra barrel guide, and have it modified for the WolfmanQ m
