Hello, everyone! My name is John (duh). I make gun videos and gear reviews. I'm also an aficionado of funk/soul music from the '80s. Offended by me, my content, or my appearance? I'm not surprised. ;) Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe! Content will be a bit sparse as of late, but not to worry. We've got something big in the making. Y'all stick around, things could get fun.
Maple Leaf Firearms Scout Cut
In this video, I discuss the Scout Cut for the Glock 17 from Maple Leaf Firearms.
I recently merged my current RUclips account with my brand account, causing all of my original comments to be lost. No clue how, why, etc. Either way, it's contrived and frustrating, but it is what it is. Enjoy the video!

In this video, I discuss True Precision's Barrels, as well as whether or not you should consider getting one. And of course, given the scientific nature of this video, I had to pay homage to the legend himself, Mr. Paul Harrell. I felt it necessary to give him a shoutout, since he referenced one of my comments in his Rebuttal video. :) Songs: "Mmm Mmm Good" - Kimiko Kasai "Could This Be Love" -...

The Problem With NAF Solutions

In this video, I discuss the problems I've encountered with NAF Solutions, and why you should exercise caution before giving him your business. I'm not trying to be hurtful or slanderous, I'm just trying to make this issue known so that similar situations can be avoided or corrected. Hopefully it will prevent others from having the same experience, especially people who are unable to make their...
Truglo TFX Pro Sights: The Best Do-It-All Combat Handgun Sights
Просмотров 6 тыс.4 года назад
The TFX Pro Sights from Truglo are a set of three-dot CNC steel construction tritium/fiber-optic sights for your fighting handgun. I am absolutely *crazy* about these sights! Also, it is *really* hard to shoot through a camera, so don't judge me! (This video was brought to you in part by Karl.)

The CZ P-01: A CCW Gold Standard
Просмотров 60 тыс.5 лет назад
The CZ P-01 is a compact alloy-framed hammer-fired double-action/single-action pistol chambered in 9mm. It’s a variant of the legendary CZ 75, which is the second most common pistol in the world, second only to the 1911. But instead of being setup as a military service pistol, the CZ P-01 was designed in 1999 for police in the Czech Republic, and has been produced from 2001 to Present. I'd have...
Smith & Wesson 1006 (10mm) Review

A beautiful piece of history. My Holy Grail Gun, The S&W 1006, chambered in 10mm. I unleash my inner Sonny Crockett every time I pull the trigger! Initially, I'd discovered the 1006 thanks to Ebomey. Go check out his videos, he definitely has some good ones.

JPX Pepper Gun: In-Depth Review And Test
Просмотров 48 тыс.8 лет назад
General Synopsis: This is a review and test of the JPX Pepper Gun, manufactured by Piexon. The JPX Pepper Gun is a perfect non-lethal alternative for all kinds of carry. It uses a custom patented system of primers, plungers, and more to deliver its OC Spray. It's a 10/10 in my book. Perfect for those unable to carry a gun, or simply those who are too scared.

Very nice video, informative and entertaining. And to the point. Subscribed af
Thank you!!
You sold me on a True Precision threaded barrel bud. Gonna grab one in copper for my wife's Glock 19x and probably run a comp on it. Your video seemed oddly professional in a very good way like if I was watching a "how to instructional" for something really important and expensive that I do not wanna fuck up....lol Cheers from South Texas ✊️
Cheers from the Texas Panhandle, my friend! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 😉
✅️
Very informative, you sold me and your video was impressive and at 68 I’m tough to impress, thanks again
I appreciate that, my friend! Thank you!
Great to hear some of the old tunes, She's so divine, and say yeah... Spot on, tha ks for the upload 😊
Of course! She’s So Divine is my favorite. 😉
Nice video. Had a 1006. Had 2 1076. Sold one to a game warden here in Montana for bear protection. But it all started with a Colt Delta. Had 2 of them. 1 Bren Ten in SF model. A springfield Omega 6 inch ported. A couple LAR Grizzlies in 45 win mag/10mm. Several Glocks 20 & 29. And now more recently. The S&W 2.0 10mm 4inch. They all shot very well. And for the most part reliable. Except for the Springfield Omega. It was hit & miss with it.
Dang! And I thought I was a 10mm buff!... It's always been a personal dream of mine to own a Bren. Maybe someday, someone will bring them back into production! Springfield is totally hit or miss, to be honest. I would not give them any of my money. Not just because of their dubious quality, but their politics as well. Thank you for the comment, my friend!
Hey Jon. Keep up the good content. Lived during the 80s so you brought back some 80s nostalgia. Would have been a good dude to hang around and talk 80s on the podcast all day. From a dual vet USAF and US Army…..great content. I have literally almost bought every CZ pistols and moved over to their shotguns and rifles. Love the intro music btw.
Hello, my friend! I'm so glad you appreciate my content, and my music taste! ;) I certainly don't think I was born in the wrong generation like a lot of people my age say, but you wouldn't hear any complaining out of me if I woke up tomorrow and it were 1985 again. The 80s really seemed like the best time to have been alive. And thank you for your service! I'd love to hear more about it. I see Air Force T-38s training every few days where I live, and I never get any less excited to see them ripping around the sky. The F-5/T-38 (and of course, the ill-fated F-20) is one of my favorite fighter aircraft series of all time... CZ pistols are great. I rarely carry my P-01 anymore because it just isn't my style at this point in my life, but my 75B Matte Stainless gets lots of love. I don't own any of their shotguns or rifles, but I'm sure the quality is next to none! I appreciate your kind words and encouragement, more than you know. Stay safe, and God bless!
@@Its_Papa_John yes sir. T’s? My babies where I have been are the A-10s, B-52s, B-2, F-22, F-16s, F-15s, C-130s, B-2s, U-2s and some other. Some I have even seen that I have to keep on the hush hush. 🤫. Those 75Bs are great and practical because they have very defined lines. I have the 75D PCR and P-01 but sometimes depending on what I am wearing the 75D PCR gets dropped in my P-01 holster. My 75BD will drop in my SP-01 holster sometimes. Sometimes I just want those smooth lines. No lights. Classic nostalgia like your channel. I keep my options open. Sometimes I don’t want to carry any of those alloy framed CZs and take the polymers out. My P-09 and P-07 as a back up. Then if I really don’t want bulkiness and up to date I bring the P-10F and P-10C out. CZ is great. You have a new subscriber. Doesn’t have to be all CZ. Your content alone is interesting. Going to have to do a skit about some good A, B, C rated 80s songs. We can talk for days about 80s music. I’d hop right in that time capsule with you brother. 80s was a time. I was telling my family about the 80s. I remember when you could smoke on an airplane or in buildings such as stores or restaurants. I remember catching the greyhound from North-South, East Coast-West Coast. I remember when you could lay in the back of the window of your car in the 80s(no seat belt laws implemented yet), my family in GA rode around with shotguns on a shotgun rack in their trucks rear windows. I remember the music. How real musicians and entertainers had to out in work back then. How wonderful music was without hearing garbage related to twerking and raunchy sexual lyrics. Again you have a new subscriber and friend.
Nice!
Thank you!!
I just picked one up for my 19x…. Haven’t shot it yet…. But it does and feel like quality. Thanks for sharing. Just sub’d….
Thank you for the sub, my friend! You're gonna love the barrel, I just know it.
@@Its_Papa_John no worries. Gotta support the community and good information
Are you even holding that gun. It’s probably one of the most soft shooting pistols on the market and it looks like you are shooting a 44mag
I was a very scrawny creature. I've since learned recoil control, and how to eat food for nourishment.
@@Its_Papa_John I’m glad to hear that. How are you liking your p-01 now?
@@JP-pc6to Truth be told, I never carry it anymore. I still love it, it's just not really my style! I prefer more retro-style guns. Just my preference.
Did the gun jamed at 1:13?
Nope, just ran empty!
That a good bear gun
Yes!
I was told by a rep that black nitride is the hardest
❤
S&W 1006 is one of the prizes of my collection. It’s a shame no one makes this kind of pistol anymore.
There will come a day, sooner than later, when the all-steel hammer-fired 10mm service pistol makes a resurgence. Mark my words.
I hope so.
I hope so.
I hope so.
I hope so.
Do you think switching from a 9mm to a 10mm for a home defense pistol is a good idea in today’s world? I know the 9mm let the FBI down in the 1986 Miami shootout but bullet technology has also come a long way. Today’s 9mm definitely performs better than it did in the 80’s. Just wanted some opinions seeing as I’ve been considering switching from 9mm to 10mm and have been looking into the S&W 1006, 1076, and Colt Delta Elite.
I think you'll be just fine with either! I carry both and trust them both equally. You are right, bullet technology has come a very long way since the '80s. If it were 1986, I would not trust 9mm as an adequate self-defense cartridge. But I trust both for almost any purpose nowadays! However, 10mm still remains to be my favorite cartridge of all time.
Hi,good video.i owned the 1006 since 94,0 issues, 0 malfunctions. I am usued at Beretta 98,9 mm, the 1006 is more similar than you can think.two safety levers on the slide,active on the hammer,frame does overtake the ammunition, stronger than Colt delta elite,and a nice double action. A lot of steel,but flat and easy carryed with a good holster.A modern, improved "version" of old 1911...
You can conceal a full size gun in a t shirt. Even if your skinny, you just need a good holster with a claw and wedge to push the butt of the gun close to your body
If this pistol was made in the 90s why do people always associate this gun with sonny crocket he didn’t carry that particular sidearm
Very good question! Crockett did carry the 4506-0, which is very aesthetically similar to the 1006. He also carried the Bren Ten. His was technically a .45, since it was a blank gun. But because of the Bren's original 10mm chambering, a lot of people like to think of the 1006 as the next pistol Crockett would have carried, had he not retired in 1990.
Oh
@@Its_Papa_Johnyou think that the 1006 would make a good hunting pistol?
@@randallgreene6428 I think so, yes!
Didn't crofket have the Bren 10?
Yes, he did!
how did you get an idiot scratch on the frame of that smith? i'm guessing the previous owner was the moron??
Bro how many gun do you have before try to rate this firearm??
It was one of my first! Though, I've gotten a lot more since. I made sure I had enough to compare it to, when I released this video. ;)
It's risky to have a non-lethal gun in black, at least during the day when orange or yellow would tell an attacker they don't have to shoot back with a firearm (if they're at all fair). I favor pepper gel in a serious distance model, like Sabre Crossfire. It lacks the high velocity but that can be an advantage up close when you might blast someone's eye out with the JPX. The JPX also has a relatively narrow hit window, but spray gel lets you keep tracking the face as someone moves. Thugs aren't going to just stand still like in demos, more likely they'll duck and charge if they're close enough.
Agreed! Probably not the smartest to have a non-lethal that's colored and shaped like a gun. I've since upgraded to the real deal, to get rid of any confusion. ;)
I bought 5906 9mm 12yrs ago it's a police trade and never had any issues it will never leave my collection. I would love to own a 4506 or a 1006.
I have a police-contract 5906 as well, though, it was never used before I got it! It's one of my favorite pistols. So overbuilt for a 9mm. Never had any issues with mine, either.
Had a couple 5926 over the year's. Same gun as the 5906. But with the decocker on the side.
I like that
Thank you! :)
great video of a beautiful gun!!! I've been looking for a 1006 and a 1066 for a couple of years now!!!!! NO LUCK Maybe some day ill run into them????
Thank you, so much! If I were you, I would check GunBroker. ;) That's where I snagged mine. They're notoriously hard to find in person, it seems!
thanks very much for tip
@@garypeterson76 Of course! :D
You might want to give the 43X another try. It makes no scientific sense that you can conceal a G19 better than a G43X. That defies laws of physics. We need more videos from you anyway. This was 3 years ago. Can you make more and include 80s music? Thank you.
You're telling me! It makes no sense at all. But it makes no real difference anymore, anyways, because I don't enjoy modern guns like I used to. The only guns I carry anymore are '60s-'90s guns. And the only Glock I carry is a 17 Gen1 Classic. I have no need to go back to the 43X, because everything I use now works just fine! :D My go-to as of late has been a Beretta 92. I should do an EDC update video at some point, I just haven't had the creative drive or the time to do so.
It’s been 2 years. We need new videos from you. Please.
I really appreciate that you enjoy the videos so much! :) I do have something huge in the works, but I have no guarantee as to when it'll be ready. I believe sometime before January, but there have been a lot of setbacks. This one is for the history books.
Unfortunately the 1006 isn't for twinks :(
Very unfortunate, indeed... :'(
Bitch I didn't know you had a RUclips lol
3rd Gen. S&W pistols are some of the sexiest handguns I’ve ever seen. I do miss them very much!
Agreed! Maybe we'll be fortunate enough to see them reach full production again someday. ;)
your gun looks badass .. may i ask . what co witness iron sights you running ?
Thank you! They are Rival Arms tritium sights. The ones with the orange ring around the front sight.
Where did you get your holster to fit xc1?
It's a Centaur rig, from Alpha Concealment. But the company has long since gone out of business.
ok i got one too. chuck the plastic rod for a tungsten or stainless. cajun gun works pro package and trijicon or any equivalent sights and last but not least front and back strap grip mod with silicone carbide media 36~60grit depending on preference. and as for light any reputable brand that you like surefire, streamlight...etc
The plastic guide rod probably isn't of much importance, since the gun has a full-length dust cover. If it were something like a Beretta, then I'd have to replace it. As far as sights go, I really recommend the TFX Pros from Truglo! I don't have any extended experience with CGW, but I'm sure their work is amazing. I've wanted to Cajunize my CZs for quite some time now. Currently, I keep a Streamlight TLR-7 on my P-01. But I haven't carried it in years, since it isn't really my style anymore. I much prefer older designs with no light rail, like the classic-style CZ 75, 1911, Hi Power, Beretta 92, etc. They're just a lot more sleek in my opinion, and I wouldn't feel right carrying one of my guns in a shoulder rig or other leather holster if it had a WML attached to it. That would just feel... dirty. And not the good kind of dirty.
@@Its_Papa_John yeah..i get it man... i personally love and do have a tlr7 on mine as well. as for the guide rod i just dont like anything plastic its just me. as for sights i say it depends on the person man some people like bigger more pronounced others like it slim. its just the eyes and the individuals perseverance but quality has to be there. dude when u get a chance cajuinze ur cz. its a world of difference...its as if it should have come that way idk thats just how i feel.
I’m a more recent P-01 owner and I’ve been seeing online that the firing pin block retaining pin can be replaced with an aftermarket option from CajunGunWorks or M*CARBO and I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect or what but I’ve had a ton more peace of mind about both dry and live firing ever since I swapped mine out. I haven’t even kept track of how many rounds I’ve shot through it since I got it in the middle of December 2022 but it’s gotta be in the 1500-2000ish range. Liked the video though, very cool vibes 😎
Thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed it! ;)
Yeah I think you have something with this intro. I see some Miami vice intro skits.
Stay tuned! ;)
Our Host looks like the Roadrunner on Buggs Bunny.
That, he does. ;)
Coyote would be in trouble. lol 🔫
hello ... how many beats were made exactly as seen in the video..
Was an idiot to sell it. But being honest, was very expensive to shoot.
It's well worth the expense, if you ask me! There's nothing quite like shooting a 10mm.
When will you make more videos? I’ve watched this one several times already and sent it to several friends. Tike for more handgun videos please!
I appreciate that, more than you know! :) It may be some time before I make more videos, but I do have one in the works that's very special. Can't guarantee a delivery date, but it should be later this year.
Very nicely done! Well thought out and informative. I also use Maple leaf.
Thank you! :) Maple Leaf is fantastic.
Does this really work or is this a knock off?
Based on my research and experience, it does in fact work. But seeing as though I've reached the legal age to carry a firearm on my person, the JPX has founds itself obsolete, for my intents and purposes. ;)
Is this better than the JPX cobra
Hi! Which holster are you running with the XC1?
I was running the Alpha Concealment Centaur, but as far as I know, they have long since gone out of business. I'd be happy to sell you mine! I never carry with it anymore, anyways. :D
Man i have had a cz 75b for a decade and just put an MCARBO spring and pin kit in it and makes it soft as a race gun. Look them up for parts kit to make the da/sa smooth as a babies butt.
I have the PCR and a full size 75 decocker model. I love them but I use my p229 as ccw because of the issues with pins breaking and stuff. Great guns but it will be the worst moment when one of those things goes wrong I feel! Totally trust them as back up guns though and the full size is the epitome of 9mm shooting experience imo Anyway great review.
Thank you! I don't blame you a bit for being apprehensive... Murphy's Law is an ugly thing. ;) To be honest, I would (and do) trust CZ 75s completely as a primary defensive handgun. The only issues I've encountered are with the firing pin retainer pin, and the decocker return spring. And after replacing them a few years ago, I've had no issues since. My CZ 75 Matte Stainless has encountered no issues whatsoever, but I went ahead and replaced that pin just to be on the safe side. I'm glad you enjoyed the review! Feel free to stick around, I have some interesting stuff in the works!
