Ok, maybe I shouldn't let you in behind the scenes, BUT we aren't up to speed with editing yet, so I try and do these in 1 take. I was doing my final take and was 95% done with it, espresso and all, when I was interrupted by a phone call. Let me know if you can tell I have had a bit too much caffeine in this video! I was a bit jittery, hopefully you can't tell!
Nice video as usual. One about open carry would be interesting as well, and maybe your thoughts on when it’s appropriate. I was wondering which holsters you prefer, leather or kydex? I tend to favor leather for worrying about scratching my guns, and the overall look good. I went to a gun show today and saw something they reminded of the gun you purchased from Paul, a Dan Wesson set in .44 magnum.
A DW Pistol Pack in 44? That is really cool! The action is so smooth on the DW. The only thing about a Dan Wesson is the way the cylinder release works as opposed to an S&W or a Colt. All 3 are different and all 3 you need to work with if you are to carry them. I will be doing an open carry vid shortly. I may as well complete the series and answer your questions. Thanks again James!
So I did some more digging into the espresso. You are supposed to drink both shots, but both shots are supposed to be brewed into a single glass. That's what gives it that signature 3 layer look with the crema, heart, and body. Also isn't an espresso supposed to be 4 fl oz?
@@Gigaheart Well sir, I may have to try the single cup! As for the pour size? I don't really know. If that is true, I don't know how to adjust my A Leva. It's always fun to learn new things. Thank you.
@@Espresso_with_Saul Anytime I've ever personally ordered an espresso from fancy coffee bars, they've been 4 fl oz so I feel that's probably a standard. That being said your machine may not have that capacity. Now there's not technically anything wrong with your two and pour method that I'm personally aware of. It might be all aesthetics. I know people that will stir their espresso and mix the layers before drinking it. I just brought it up as a maybe. The shots you've been pulling look great personally. Admittedly, I don't know a lot about espresso or your machine. My knowledge lies in Pour Over and other non espresso brewing type methods. However, James Hoffman, here on TH-cam has done video series's on espresso. You could start there. He may even have a video for a lever type espresso machine similar to yours so you can get more out of machine you might not be aware of. From my experience with his videos it will depend on a number of factors like puck density, flow rates, pressures, recipe, etc etc etc. Espresso learning is like a rabbit hole in of itself, and it is why I've avoided getting into it. You seem to like it however, so I figured I'd point you there.
@@Gigaheart I agree, it is a rabbit hole. I would also add that in some places, espresso will be in a smaller cup, even thimble sized at times. My espresso would have to be more watered down if it were 4oz, otherwise it would have way too much caffeine for me to drink. I wouldn't mind checking that channel out.
I conceal carry a Glock 43x everyday, Sometimes I’ll throw in a S&W model 36 in a fitted leather pocket holster that I’ve sewn directly into my classic hunting jacket with the big front pockets similar to Pauls. Great video once again!💜
Another great video Saul! Thank you very much for the advice/warnings concerning pocket carry; that was something I often wondered about when seeing Paul do it.
Great video, sir! I am in awe of your collection so far. I usually appendix or 3 o'clock, but you have me thinking of a shoulder for when I'm driving. Though I do like to keep it simple. Thank you again!
I have found it to be much easier to access than pocket or appendix, and more comfortable with the right shoulder holster. The main problem is the cost of one nowadays. I was showing a friend my Galco Vertical Shoulder Holster and told him it was less than $200. It had actually been a long time since I had purchased one and they were now over $300. Very expensive.
Nice layout. 👍 Personally, I EDC my Glock 21 Gen 4 in .45acp. 13 rd magazine, + 1in the tube. Im 5'10", 300lbs. My backup is my Glock 22 Gen 5 in .40S&W. My C.C. would either be my Ruger LCP II, in .380acp. 1, 6 rd mag, and 1, 7 rd mag. Plus 1 in chamber. Or my Taurus Poly Protector, 2" snub nose in .357 mag. Oh yeah, that 2" with standard .357 mag rounds, she kicks like..well, im sure you know. It recoils like a ... With my Glocks, I always open carry. And carry at least 2 mags of each type. Ruger LCP II, it has its own holster, so can fit in my pocket with no troubles. The downside to the Ruger LCP II, is the sights are nonadjustable, and my eyes, i would only be effective with a close encounter. 10 ft at max.
I get it, about the eyesight. Open carry can be great, but sometimes I think there is great advantage to them not knowing you are armed. Hard to go wrong with that setup!
Looks like very similar shoulder rigs as what I'm normally found in. :) Re: Open carry, the once or twice a year I might find myself in an environment where it's appropriate, I usually stick a Model 28 in an old "Safety Speed" spring loaded clamshell holster. (Think Adam-12) It entertains me. Unless an Ithaca 37 on a sling counts as open carry?
I have concealed carried my 6.5” .500 magnum once before for fun, but I do like open carry when I’m out in the woods which is fairly often, so I am curious what you have for open carry besides that beautiful 29.
@@Espresso_with_Saulthe only real way I can conceal anything larger is during cold weather when I can wear a nice big winter coat, only thing I haven’t been able to conceal carry is my BFR 10.5” 🤔
@@hillelnorry5670 Galco. I purchased them years ago. Recently a colleague of mine was looking for a good comfortable shoulder holster. I recommended Galco to him and told him it would be between 150 and 200. I was greatly mistaken. These are now over $300. So glad I purchased mine when I did.
I know I already commented, but thinkin about it overnight, I would be interested into hearing your thoughts on the "why" or pocket-carry. Personally, it's not for me. I've tried it reasonably thoroughly and came to the following conclusions: --I live my life in jeans, and find drawing with my ape-fists wrapped around even a small gun is clunky at best. --I don't want to fight with anything much smaller than a Makarov, even that's questionable. --I want a full firing grip on the gun, before I present it. I don't want to be squishing my grip around halfway through a presentation. --Lack of ready access whilst doing anything except standing bothers me. --Motorcycle and pocket carry don't work together worth beans. Please don't think I'm saying you're wrong, dumb, or stupid. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts/having the conversation.
Don't get me wrong, I prefer a full size firearm all day. The main reason I like pocket carry is for program compliance. The micro nine in my pocket is 100 times better than the Laugo Alien in my glove box. Full size firearms on my waist can be very inconvenient depending on what I am doing. I can and do carry full sized but if I am doing something physical where it may get in the way, or I am not wearing enough clothes to cover a full size, I have several options to make sure I have something on me 99% of the time. It is simply one of the many options we have for EDC & Concealed carry. Remember, I am not telling you what you should do, I am simply explaining what I do and how/why I do it. Thank you for your thoughts! A side note, I do not wear jeans often. The cargos I wear are flexible and very comfortable, while jeans can be more restricting, and not as flexible. That would definitely come into play on how and what you choose to carry.
@@Espresso_with_Saul Forgive me for monopolizing your time with my incessant chatter, to quote the commercial, "You're under no obligation to enroll, no sales person will call!" And yup, I do not feel I have been advised, only informed as to an alternate perspective. Which, I appreciate and am enjoying. :) The jeans I'm just used to. Grew up in them, fit in with my day-to-day world. Reasonable protection from road-rash. Just another uninteresting middle-aged, ex-farm non-descript male. :) Although, in retrospect I have uttered an untruth. I have been known to shove a k-frame in a parka-pocket a few times per winter, when caught out in a hasty/unprepared moment. (Dash to the store before it closes, etc.) Beyond program compliance (Or ATGATT in my world) does retention play a factory in the pocket-carry decision? I can certainly see where in a scuffle I would feel better about a Tomcat buried in a hip-pocket than a revolver in a X15...
Pocket carry for me is easier and more convenient. That's why I do it in a nutshell. Any thing else that I decide to carry I have to consider what I am wearing. That's why Paul always told us you need to figure out what works for you. With what you wear and how you dress, other things are definitely going to work better for you.
Thanks for the shout out Saul! Nice to see you in full 16:9 aspect ratio!
Thanks again Brad!
