I hate my self for not making better investments in the 90s. I was barely 21 though. Didn't really know any better. Or what the future would hold. We thought $300 AK's, $79 mosins, and 1000 rounds for $129 was the norm and would last forever. Oh what a great time it was to be alive.
I remember seeing a barrel of M-1 Garands and 1903 Springfields in my local gun shop for $129.00 each. That was around 1986. Literally barrels of them. They were slathered in cosmo, and I didn't want to touch them at the time. Oh for missed opportunities!
I talk about this all the time. I also told people from 2016 to early 2020 we was living in the “new age great times”. I told anyone that would listen that we would look back at 350-500 ARs as we look back at 75 buck SKS and cheap AKs. My biggest regret is not getting an AK collection when they was cheap. I personally remember Npaps as cheap as 425 after rebate in this time frame. I did buy a Wasr in 2017 for $529. My biggest regret is not going and buying a Vepr the day the announcement was made.
@@ToolsandTargets hahaha, if it had a real grip and a long enough barrel that I could hold it with both hands.... nope, it would still make me cry like a child.😉😉😉
Boy oh boy! What a nice collection of handguns you got in there. The guy has a nice collection. Obviously his family had no interest in keeping some fine handguns.
Man that was a sign of our times when your intro was backed by a pair of smokepoles.. I got a sick laugh out of that. Miss my old knock around BM, replaced with an Officer mdl I'm scared I'll scratch. Awesome Wilson pistola. Thanks for your knowledgeable videos.
A Wilson two tone Classic is on my bucket list. As a kid in the late 80’s through 90’s I read about Wilson Combat in G&A, back when G&A had good writers and when Wilson Combat was one of a few high end builders around. Other guns that may be harder to get down the road have taken priority but I’d like to cross a Wilson off of the list.
I really like the slow moving close up! Very nice to see the closer detail! Appreciated Chris. I can't imagine one handing that 45-70! you best have a "Vise" for a grip!!
Good stuff I’ll take them all! I’ve never seen the single shot Derringer before seams like putting a plug in your Glock mag to only hold 5 rounds but cool
That Wilson and polytech making me want to refinance my home!! 😮😮 lol I actually have a 1911 norinco that was sent in and worked over in the early 90s by Wilson combat.
Outstanding video, Chris. I have the Beretta PX-4 Compact Carry and the Sig P229; really like them both. I shot the PX-4 very well right out of the box. It has a butter smooth trigger, great balance, fantastic sights, a fabulous feel - like I can just aim and fire great groups with minimal muzzle flip. The P229 - well just read the reviews on this gem. They are 99.9% true. Neither of these needed $200 of parts right out of the box like (everyone knows who) the anything But perfection pistol.
Look forward to these videos every week. That EDC9 is really nice it’s just a shame they are 3000.00. Thanks for doing these videos. They are appreciated.
Actually the edc 9 is $3700 that’s the single stack. The edc X9L that is shown in this video is $3000. X9L is nice but the 4” X9 is much better for conceal-ability and everyday carry/use
My star bm is in a clear plastic star case with two magazines cleaning rod and book. I've removed magazine disconnect, it was making the magazine tougher to get out. Always enjoy these videos, wasn't sure if you was eairly or I just lost track of day , work has been busy .
I once owned a Walther PP in 380. I don't remember if it was imported by Ingram's or not. I bought it in the mid 70s. A great pistol with amazing accuracy. I found shoulder holster that used a u shaped spring clip to hole the barrel. Perfect under a jacket. I miss that piece. Almost bought a PPK/S but it didn't feel good to me. Big hands. Good vid on that.
prices are crazy now, I got a 229 legion RXP in October brand new for $999. The thought of getting a used one that isn't a legion for that much is not good. Love it, love it, love it though. have the springfield emp as well, love it too
Thanks for these videos. Been enjoying them for the past month since I first noticed them. Today’s video makes me appreciate my Mak-90 I bought new back in the day even more! ( wish I kept the delicate styrofoam box it came in though )
Hello Chris I love your videos. I recently purchased a Beretta 92FS EL made in 1994. I would like to learn more about my gun. Is this any historians or source materials that I can learn more about my gun? thank you.
I'm not very knowledgeable in AK's but I bought a milled Mak 90 in 95 (I think) for $215. I since made it 922r compliant with the appropriate amount of US parts +1 for security. It has a spike bayonet and had a great trigger but I had to replace it with an ALG that was even better. Don't know what it's worth but it sounds like I was lucky.
"Walther PPK, 7.65 millimeter, with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window. The American CIA swear by them." (Dr. No 1962) and we Americans all thought, "really? I would rather have a 1911."
OK, what do we have to do to get video of you shooting that hand howitzer? My videos where I put Wilson Combat components in my Beretta 92S are some of my most watched and commented on. That gun is smooth as glass. I'm a huge WC fan. Quality company.
Well I always enjoy your videos and love your channel but I swear this time every gun you showed I would really like to have you sure baby have a long wish list thanks
I prefer the WASR, but the seem like good rifles. I have never been a fan of domestically produced AK's, but I have heard from a lot of people that they are good rifles.
Hey Chris, why does the market value G3/Mp5 clones the way it does? Is it because of the licensing, importation, reputation/history of those platforms or a combination of all of these factors or something else entirely?
I'd say it's more of a supply and demand type situation combined with people who have more money than sense. I'm interested to see what Chris might have to say. Seems even the clones are only a couple hundred dollars less. I can't see it. If I was going to spend that much it would have to be for an authentic one. Probably a better long term investment as well.
I don't know for sure, but my assumption would be their popularity.... The MP5 is one of the most coveted and respected firearms that ever existed. They have been featured in countless movies... Whether you grew up in the 80's or the 2000's, you grew up seeing the MP5 in movies and video games. For the same reasons, the transferable machine gun MP5"s are some of the most expensive MG's you can buy. A Mac 10 will cost you $6K whereas an MP5 will cost you $40K, and there is not much of a supply difference between the two. I guess the companies charge it because buyers will pay it. Just my thought though. Thanks for watching!
That derringer is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen, I want one. I really wanted a PX4 storm when they first came out but that design did not age well aesthetically. It is still a very cool design.

Where are we now? What’s the new bargain to --> money guns right now? I’m thinking old smith and Wessons, etc... 20 years from now...
Ahhh the wonders of hindsight if we all had it we would all be rich from buying early and selling now.

@RedRight Hand I’m sure he is taking about cheap surplus ammo and spam cans. 7.62x39- 7.62x54r, 5.45x39, Mauser ammo etc etc.
Good lord, you better be holdin' on to that .45-70 Derringer for dear life! 😆
not for me, I would drop it like a hot potato.
@@DanielMartinez-lz3ot LOL, I'm sure a lot of people would, especially not knowing what to expect from that round. 😆

@@DanielMartinez-lz3ot 😂
It probably won't be as bad as you expect, the short barrel length doesn't give the powder much time to burn.
I have never had the good fortune to run a wilson based on 💰. But they look outstanding👍👏🏆
Nice to view during break at work.
Boy oh boy! What a nice collection of handguns you got in there. The guy has a nice collection. Obviously his family had no interest in keeping some fine handguns.
Chris rocks. Just info, no feelings.

That Wilson 2011 has me droooooling! Glad you included all the close ups too.
At first glance that Star looked like my old S&W Model-39. Gotta love them nines.
Another informative, and enjoyable video, thanks.

You know so much. Best of luck on here and in your business- from a fellow Hoosier
VERY nice pile this time👍
Nice collection received, Chris. Never surprised by inventory. Always enjoy doing business with you 👊💥💥
My son has a Px4 Storm and it is really picky with ammo. Nothing but the premium stuff will feed.
I've been a fan for some time.
This is the first video that I have wanted every firearm that you featured.
Yada Yada, beer budget. LOL 😆
You have a good channel. Thank you for putting in the time.
Appreciate the sharing of knowledge and your insight of the business.
5:25 The SRT kit is available from SIG for most of their guns. I installed one on my P220
Early treat this week! My favorite series on YT, TV, or anywhere! I tell everyone about it.
I really like the slow moving close up! Very nice to see the closer detail! Appreciated Chris. I can't imagine one handing that 45-70! you best have a "Vise" for a grip!!
Love these gun reviews! 👏👏👏👊👊👊

.45-70 derringer and then you pull out a Chinese spiker AK? I'm in love.
Thank you Chriss, I really enjoy your channel.
I read that as Chrissy. Lol
Hi Chris. Ted from Texas here . Another good video My friend
I’m liking the inserted close up videos effect.
Excellent as always.
Thanks, Chris for the video that Derringer in 45-70 must be a handful, Stay safe.👍👍👍

I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to post them!
A 45-70 Derringer is CRAZY, they might as well make 500 magnum one too while they're at it.
The EMP looks great, but my wife had one and had no end of issues with it, even after sending it back to Springfield for service, so she sold it.
Look forward to these videos every week. That EDC9 is really nice it’s just a shame they are 3000.00. Thanks for doing these videos. They are appreciated.

I still can't wait for the PSA Spiker to be released ........ ME WANT IT! LOL
How the #%&$ did you match that shot around 3:10? Almost perfect!
That WC is sweet!
I have a M11-a1. For what it comes with. Short reach trigger, SRT kit and corrosion resistant internals it's a great bargain actually.
Holy Moly 45-70
EDC-9 🤪
I have a Spiker.......parts built but nonetheless
Welson combat my favorite pistol

Oh wilson combat 😍😍😍
Wilson Combat just seems a little too expensive compared to what the overall market is able to offer these days.
Really like your videos. You talk n inform us about guns n the shortage on ammo. You try to keep the politics out of you videos. Thank you
I just scored a 1999 manufactured, un-shot, in box, New England Firearms, Case-hardened receiver, single shot 12 gauge for $130.... with box... :)

Well I always enjoy your videos and love your channel but I swear this time every gun you showed I would really like to have you sure baby have a long wish list thanks
Really nice videos 👍👍👍
Sig makes a beautiful pistol, although they missed the mark with the 229 (for me). My 226 actually conceals better than my 229.
is that because of width? is P229 grip wider than P226?
@@bradleys2320 Yes. The grip and slide are wider on the 229.
I like that 45/70 dillinger 🤩. Bet it kicks like Clydesdale & brings down Buffalo's. Holly John Wick!! ,i want it!!!! 😍
That 45-70 Derringer is my type of goofy
I just broke my wrist thinking about shooting a 45/70 derringer
Damn. You got a spiker....
I’ve got the polytech
Don’t know how someone could let go of one
Been looking for a p220 10mm sig legion. Just can't find one
I have a Star. Picked it up for $250 with 8 mags. That was when you could still find a good deal at a gun show.
That's better than a good deal. Hell the mags are worth that. I bought a BM, PD, and Super Modelo a year ago. Good solid guns, but no extra mags.
How does it run? Mine jams once in a while with a stovepipe
Ooooooooh that spiker tho
Man i want it! Cant afford it, But i want it!
One day, One glorious spikee day XD
I want that type 56!!!
Blaze_ball on GB if I remember correctly.
The previous owner of this collection had great taste in firearms.
Ashamed to admit I laughed when he said the small pp’s
Pressures for 40 and 9 are about the same
My jaw dropped when you said that derringer is in .45-70
.45-70 Derringer, so much for the web of the hand.. Totally ridiculous.. I'll be hunting for one locally

are these guns that people sell to you, or are the transfers that come in, or combination of?
These are all firearms that people have sold us. Thanks for watching!
Hahaha he said the short version of the PP...
I'm thinking that the 45-70 derringer has only one barrel because, that one shot will be the last thing in life you do.

Is the Derringer is going to be in the store tomorrow?

Who here saw the pic with the Wilson combat in the thumbnail and watched video in suspense waiting for it?
Me
The Wilson available
SIG looks like a p6.
😆 how do you shoot that 45-70 Derringer!?
Very carefully with a big fucking wrist brace. You know that thing is going to be a little bit . snappy we’ll say
No wrist brace but the snappy is the sound of your trigger finger knuckle getting cracked.😆
you let the guy at the range that wants to try everyone elses gun try it
How can I find you on Gun Broker?
Who the heck decided 45-70 was good for a derringer?
Did you grow up in Maryland by any chance?
