    This is the first non-black handgun I've looked at that actually looks good to me.
    Thank you hickok45 for the videos that you make. I got into shooting in April of 2018 and I've watched probably hundreds of your videos since then. I watched several of your new shooter videos, and they were very valuable for me in learning some basics. I also use some of your videos as a preparation tool when I bring new shooters to the range, especially the video on how not to point a gun.
    This probably isn't the first time you've heard this, but there's a very similar benefit to watching you as there is to watching Bob Ross. You're very passionate about what you do, and you just have fun. I love other styles and personalities, but it is really refreshing not to watch someone who doesn't have "tactical" in their channel name 7 times. For that same reason, you're a great ambassador for firearms because I think you can reach a broader audience of people.
    Anytime I want to make a decision on a firearm, I always look to see if you have a video on it. And just about every time, you do. The only firearm I wanted to see you do a video of that I couldn't find was the Spas-12, but that particular firearm is a little difficult to find as I understand. In any case, all of my firearm purchases so far have been informed by watching you shoot them and talk about them. My first handgun, by the way, was a Glock 19. It was a difficult choice between it and the 92FS, but I'm glad I made the choice I did in the end (I'm still getting the 92FS, just later).

    My grandma opted in for the m18, not really different just a inch off the top making the barrel flush with the the picitinny rail. It’s a hybrid use for her, being a okay carry and great home defense build. Love the action on it smooth as butter, I can see why the military contracted it

  • @valuedhumanoid6574
    @valuedhumanoid6574 5 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    My whole military career was with the 1911. When I got out they were just switching over to the Beretta 92FS and I was a huge fan of the change. The 1911 was just obsolete. A great system and help win several wars, but it's time was past. Now, I must get used to a new kid on the block. I will never be able to depart with my 92, but I will give this a whirl and put it through the paces.

      bikeracerdude i agree to a point. I believe in true equality so the standards should be equal. But you’re insisting women shouldn’t be in the military and that doesn’t make sense to me. Not every role is a combat role. Most women in the military aren’t in combat roles. Even if they aren’t as physically capable as men, they can their specific job just as well, if not better than a man. And yes, free speech I agree. I just don’t know what part of my comment made you want to say all this

    I know I am late to the game here. But I recently purchased this model as well. I believe the issue of it not going into battery is specifically caused by the loaded chamber indicator. Which is why it doesn't happen on any other P320 model

    I shoot the military guns partly, just as you said, we expect them to be reliable and to operate in really bad conditions; hopefully, the DoD is doing their job and procuring good firearms. Then, the next big part of it for me is that I am a veteran (US Navy). We carried and shot the 1911 when I was in the Navy so it was the only gun I knew. My first handgun was a 1911 and I've loved them for 50 years. I didn't even know the service had moved to the M9 when I started checking out the Taurus PT92 just because it was metal in a plastic gun world. To find its roots in the next generation service gun was definitely a heart-warming part of the equation. The Sig had been the new gun for a few years before I learned of that change, too, but there is that patriotic part of the equation so as I look for a lighter-weight, I'm getting old and the steel I love is is just too heavy, gun to carry, the Sig seems like the perfect choice. Of course I had to search out your review as part of my research.
    Now to find left and right handed holsters so I can really Rambo-up.

      It would take him many hours of video. The U.S. Army has had dozens of sidearms. His M1873, M1911A1, M9 and M17 don't even begin to scratch the surface of *all* the sidearms the U.S. Army used from the M1873 onward. I was up to two dozen or so the last time I tried counting them all. Go back before the M1873 into the cap and ball, and the predecessors to those, and there are just as many.

    I'm currently stationed in Afghanistan and on my COB we have an array of firearms. For instance I carry a M11 (SIG 228), and guys I work with carry Glock 17 & 19, M9 Beretta, M17 (I'll ask them if they have the slide issue), and even Coalition partners that carry HK45 USP. Needless to say it's one big party of different firearms. Keep up the great work on your Channel. You always provide a smile, even here in Afghanistan.

  • @phased-arraych.9150
    @phased-arraych.9150 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That issue you’re having with the slide probably has something to do with the trigger disconnect. It’s purpose is to prevent the gun from firing when the slide is too far out of battery. The additional friction the disconnector arm exerts on the bottom of the slide likely prevents it from going all the way forward under low velocities. They also added this disconnector to newer commercial P320 pistols to address the drop safety issue that came up in 2017. These disconnectors originally came standard on the M17 which is why you don’t have that issue with your old P320. Also, those disconnectors leave a lengthwise linear wear mark on the bottom of the slide so the issue should improve as that area becomes more worn in.

He ran it suppressed, unsuppressed, with and without red dots, you name it he’s probably run it that way. And he loved it. I did handle it a couple times during what we called cleaning days, and I loved how it felt. So all in all I can see why this gun was adopted. We only split up because he needed to move to Wyoming and I live in Texas. It was hard but I respect him and we had a healthy breakup. But anyway the M17 and all its variants rock
