Gave up on trying to hear the video even with volume to the max. Spring for a remote mike. DW's are great guns.......
I appreciate the feedback and will try to do better!
sound sucks dont waste time on this video.
Sorry you feel that way, trying to put out higher quality content every day!
@@ArmadilloArmament im sure you will do better i wih you susecces.
Where did the first vid go?
First Video?
Best plate carrier in my opinion. I have a few of them
My favorite carrier to date
You delete one more comment I will unsub wow come on.I guess the youtube police are messing with your followers by pissing your subs off.
@@mbenjamin292 I don’t think I’ve ever deleted a comment on this channel. What are you referring to?
Sweeeeet pistol I love your channel.
@@mbenjamin292 glad to hear!
I think, JGlocks triggers, APEX and OW Precision. You could also try polish or NP3ed the depressor plunger, trigger bar, trigger connector and the striker. I don't know if you use a stainless guide rod of 15 or 13lb. BTW I think a Roland Special of a G20 makes all the sense, but only for using full powered 10mm ammo. I've seen RS of G20 Gen5 and that thing looks good with and RMR HD.
I fill like your shooting before you actually have it in target you need to be more careful
I definitely try and push myself even if that means not having a perfect sight picture , that being said this was pretty close range shooting and im fairly confident I got pretty good hits. Still, good feedback
I like the Glock 43X MOS , but I would just rather edc my Glock 19 all day.
This is really disheartening to watch. My father has a DW Valkyrie (9mm) that works flawlessly and that gun specifically made me want a 1911 DW. I have been looking into getting a 1911 in 45 because I wanted the classic feel and I have a 9mm already (Sig p226 legion), so I started researching. I was shocked to see 10-8 performance’s review on the DW specialist because of how many failure to feeds he had. He mentioned that the ramped barrel feed design has historically been subpar for larger caliber sizes (especially hollow point). Apparently DW started doing this a few years ago to standardize their manufacturing process… ok I guess but why change to a design that has historically been worse for 45 (and I guess 10mm in your case) and they probably know is worse? A few people on some 1911 forums also had issues with their newer DW models, and their customer service. I really really wanted a DW because their guns are eye popping, feel good in the hand, and their reputation has been good for a long time. Not really sure what to think now. Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience.
Good write up. Yeah I cant in good faith recommend anything Dan Wesson related. If you want a good 1911 that is inexpensive look at Tisas-Colt-Springfield. If you want a 1911 that is more custom made and higher quality look to Nighthawk somewhat and Wilson Combat. I recommend you stay far away from Alchemy Custom Weaponry.
That Metroid Prime music in the background bringing me back to my childhood
In a sea of shitty techno someone's gotta rep some Phendrana Drifts.
I want the ACRO P-2, but damn, that price. I can buy another Glock for that money.
Gas leak issue
@@bsddept yep I talk about that in the video.
What plate/ screws did you use?
I don't have a lot of experience with the AR platform. What do you mean by timing?
I should have explained better. Basically you have to "Time" the way the top ports line up and the right ports line up to the right. You do this by adding shimms until when you tighten it down its tight and it properly "timed" in the orientation you want. Alot of other flash hiders dont need to be "Timed" Because the orientation doesnt matter, This does matter because of where the ports need to face. Hope this helps.
@@ArmadilloArmament Yes, it did. Thanks!
try the TRP not the operator just the TRP
My buddy has a regular TRP, NOT the new ones though. Great guns. New TRP's have a bit of MIM parts but im assuming are still good. Ill have to snag one eventually.
ima just say it: Springfield is better than Kimber and dan wesson. every video ive seen on here on the specialist has failure to feed issues. unacceptable plus I had no idea about their rail, so stupid
Couldnt agree more, my springfields have been fantastic. Not the prettiest, or the tightest, but they work.
deletes dan Wesson from gun list***
What about a G21 Roland Special?
@@jessitaylor4170 sounds fantastic, I think I’d rather have a 10MM Roland though (Hint Hint)
@ArmadilloArmament a 10MM Roland Special does sound awesome!
@@ArmadilloArmament i absolutely love my Glock 20 Roland! Gen4, kkm barrel and comp, RMR cut, surefire x300 and SLR magwell with thier +5 extension's. Recoil is super smooth, can shoot it as fast as my 9's and with some hot ass underwood or buffalo bore (some handloads aswell) recoil feels alot like a 9 +p+ or a 40. Fits in a glock model 40 holster perfectly too. Really cant go wrong with a comped 10mm! I carry it ALL the time
Why would I care about rattle? My Tisas 1911A1 rattles a little and I’d trust my life on it
@@gianpalacio5635 I agree!
Can’t wait to see you get that thing milled man. Like I said - check out primary machine. Tight cut, nitrided slide, cowitness with standard sights. It’s a beast and makes the gun incredible.
THANX 4 Ur info. Yes I'm that idiot who wants dirt cheap NVG mount from commi china, and sure I paid the 💸. I will send my dineros to lone ⭐️ 2 get knockoff over priced wilcox of tier one spec ops mount. I will let U know how good it is on my very old Spartan airsoft PVG 18 Dummy which has led vision light.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Don't 4get 2 👀 there funny Gwiyomi U-tube video. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

...and I just bought another HK-marked M2 UTL with box in case my other one shits the bed.
Impressive that you keep finding them. Especially HK marked.
@ArmadilloArmament The first one I found was probably 10 or so years ago. This one, I found on Reddit. Still one left! Guy had a handful of them with boxes w/o the pressure switch.
@@Apathesis0 Give me a rough estimate to the price out of curiosity
@@ArmadilloArmament $325
Thanks for the informative vid. The Metroid tunes were definitely a vibe. 😎
Glad you liked it!
why would you want a comp to stick out of the bottom of the holster?? that can bump the gun out of retention without you realizing it and becomes a safety issue.
I have had the EPS full size on my g19 going on eight months and haven't had any issues with the battery that it came with so far however I do keep spare batteries close by just incase but so far no problems!
Thanks for the video. I have an HK-marked M2 UTL on my 9mm USP Expert. It just looks right on the gun.
Lmfao, is that music from Metroid Prime?
Hell yeah it is!
@@ArmadilloArmament Awesome. The remaster was great. The only reason I bought a Switch.
@@Apathesis0 Remaster was phenomenal, Dread was also great and I recommend it. Prime 4 just around the corner finally.
That is not a roland special. It does not have the KKM barrel.
@@adamnguyen3753 correct, as well as a couple other things. Go look at my more modern g45 Roland and my first ever video and you’ll see Kkm.
There's deals on ebay with complete slides for the Glock 45 with the ACRO P-2 mounted directly going for $899, im going for the G45GEN5MOS complete slide with the Trijicon SRO directly mounted with XS™ Tritium night sights next month🤙🏿
Is your G45 factory cut for the Acro from Glock? The G45 'MOS 7' model? How do you like it?
Its the Talo edition G45. Its phenomenal, easily one of my favorite guns.
@@ArmadilloArmament I see, thank you. Yes, we're speaking about the same gun. Item #: PA455S303MOS7A1. Glad to hear you're enjoying it!
@armadillo armament 😂 ay sorry to hear your story i own 2 dan wesson that run flawlessly but have had a knighthawk firehawk that had a nasty burr on the slide were the slide stops meets i also sent it back to knighthawk like 4 time they never properly fixed it i guess once in a while we just get lemmons 😢 sucks.
Enough BS. This Colt supposed to be an accurized pistol able to hold. X-ring at 25 and 50 yard NRA targets. Does It? Out of the Box. Mine does. It's 1976 Series 70 type...So does my Smith&Wesson model 52, 38 special wadcutter pistol.
@@CZ49 I’m not good enough to print an x at 25 so it’s hard to tell. If you can though that’s good to hear.
You should never judge the reliability of a 1911 based off of the first 500 or so rounds. Unfortunately, brand new 1911s need to be broken in.
@@christophermead9800 sometimes, I just feel companies use that as a scapegoat too much.
Had multiple malfunctions with my DW Specialist (2014ish model year), every malfunction was caused by galling of the frame against the slide, likely caused by a tight fit, metallurgical composition and undesirable hardness of the components. I performed a flourescent dye penetrant examination under UV, took photos and sent them to DW along with an inspection report noting the details of the indications found during the examination. While they were not overly warm and consoling, the rep did confirm they were aware of said issue and sent me a shipping label. Several weeks later I received it in proper working order, along with abysmal details as to what was done to correct the issue. I ran it very wet for approximately 50 rounds and it is good to go. If I was to perform hardness testing on the frame and slide I am certain they are "out of spec". Thankfully this will never be driven hard like my Glocks and HK pistols. Extremely accurate and still my favorite pistol, believe it or not.
This is a great rundown. Thank you for the information!
Which ameriglo are those ?
USP, 19X, 1911. When you have an HK, you dont need the others.
Mine work perfectly.
Everyone is right ,but he does have a point. I also bought a Dan Wesson tcp , my first gun. originally it was sticky racking it. Now , it racks ok , but the slide stays locked open when I put in new mag in and it doesn’t go forward or back. Happens often. Sometimes it’s fine , sometimes not. I don’t know what the problem is. I try different magazines , different ammo. Same issue. I’m not saying Dan Wesson doesn’t make great guns , but im not buying another Dan Wesson even though they look nice and I could afford them. I have a hellcat and a p365 , and never had any issues with them whatsoever. I also have a Taurus 45 1911 that I love , and never had any issues. And it’s too bad because I really want an OR 45 or 10mm. But I’m just not dropping $ 2500 and regretting it.
You put it better than I ever could. Im sure DW makes great guns, but mine sucked and their response was even worse. Thanks for watching.
where did you buy nv gen 3 for $1800?

Cool to see not everyone is sleeping on the Holosun 420 laser boxes. I’ve got a LE420 on my NV AK setup and it’s really nice having an all in one unit to minimize bulk
@@RogueBlood343 absolutely, that’s what it’s for. I’m really interested in throwing it on an mp7 when rumor has it Hk will be producing soon. Either that or an mp9. I’ll be making a review of it eventually, it actually just went back to Holosun to check for parasitic drain issues but otherwise it’s been great.
@ That’d be a pretty good fit for for the 420 models considering the ability to direct mount a red dot, it’s something I wanted to do originally with my setup.
@ I wouldn’t go the dot on top of lam route, but it is a cool feature. Definitely want my eotech for the bf3 vibes
Dude you are shooting before you establish a grip. Fast draws mean nothing if you are spraying
@@jinks6410 I hold myself pretty accountable for my shots and would have slowed down if I were getting anything less than a-b hits. I fumbled my grip on one draw in the video, if you don’t push yourself faster than you can technically go, how will you get better?
@ArmadilloArmament I got you. Coming from a viewer standpoint, if you never show how you do on paper then I as a viewer don't know where your credibility stands. Anybody can fire infront of a camera, but how are your rounds landing. Just a tip. Be cool if that would become a trend
The cool thing about kydex is all it takes to make something is a mild oven/heating element, a $10-20 sheet of plastic, and a vacuum table. And then for post processing you have a couple holes to drill, which if you were smart you would have dimples in the mold you formed to or a jig, and that's about it. Maybe a bandsaw and a buffing wheel for the edges. The other thing I like is when you get the basic thing with the standard options and they claim it's "custom made" and so therefore you're expected to spend $90 on something that might just be a piece of shit. So the margins are generally large for anything over ~30-40 and they claim that they make quality product but won't back that with any kind of refund, especially on bog standard parts.
Thanks for the insight and couldn't agree more! Im suprised it cost that much, for me I compare it to a watch where a fairly complicated automatic movement can still only cost about 6 or 7 cents landed from china and thats not including quartz movements. So when comparing that to some kydex I have to assume the margins are ludicrous.
@@ArmadilloArmament The only other thing that would create cost is the molds they may or may not use. Bad kydex will just suck down around the actual item for a "custom" fit that never feels good. But the molds only need to be mildly heat resistant, the official Kydex spec sheet shows around 350F. I really hope they're not using expensive aluminum when there's foam that will handle that and is cheaper to purchase and machine. And it doesn't even really need to be that fine of a machine pass. It shouldn't be that expensive for a mold. Or they could machine wax in negative and cast into it and get a positive. Either way, a bit BS to pass that cost off to the customer at the scale they typically charge. If you haven't you can just look up the process on YT, it's really basic. I'm fine obviously paying for labor, cost, and a bit of profit (though that's mainly what the labor is) but even still, they're taking a $10 sheet of plastic, sticking it in the oven for ~1min and then vacuum forming it to a mold with at *most* 30 minutes of post processing and then selling it for $90 with no guarantee. Just looking up how to make kydex a short from 945 industries popped up showing the entire process in about 30 seconds.
@ I’ll look into all that, that sounds pretty interesting. Why did you become so knowledgeable on the subject? Just curiosity?
@@ArmadilloArmament How it's Made is a good show. But I've also done molding and minor vacuum forming, it's quick and easy.
They should make these safer This is a carryover from their competition days There is no excuse Being a 100% disabled veteran with balance issues I have to take a pass on the staccato particularly for carry as I cannot take that chance And I really wanted a cs or the new c If you have any updates I would appreciate hearing it ✌️🇺🇸
Thank you for the insight into this company. I was just about to recommend this to my best friend, who is a lot like you and obsessed with 1911's, but I won't now!
Recently got one in 1 moa, this vid helped with my decision making. Really loving it so far.
@@henryliu1046 Glad you like it!
Your radio where can you put it?? On your left pocket??
@@Nezlaaaay I have it on my cummerbund pouch.
Not a chance in hell I have bought two both were shit, star bursted 1 moa dot, wouldn’t hold zero 😂 how you can even say that when the aimpoint acro and SRO exist is wild
I love my acro and SRO, This EPS has been an absolute tank for me so far though.
@ what!!!!! Really !?
@@ViolentbyDesign Ill have an Acro review soon, same with a 507 comp. I love all of them with so far with the only dot ive hated being the delta point pro. The EPS has been extremely rugged so far though. Nothing wrong with liking your optics though and I implore you to continue using whats been working on your end friend.
@ well I am in a predicament because my slide is cut for the EPS and the last one was junk so no it’s either 1. I get a new EPS 2. I get a new slide and new RDS 3. I re cut my slide for another optic.. the cheapest thing to do would be for me to get a new EPS but I have hate against them because I got broken one out of the box. So you would be confident enough in them that I should give it another shot and buy another ?
@@ViolentbyDesign The 407k might be interesting as its not an enclosed optic. All manufacturers are having beginner issues with their enclosed optics. Acro's sometimes fog, same with steiner and absolutely holosun. Mine hasnt had the issue at all but if you're worried about it the 407k is open and I havent noticed the issue. I had a 407k offset on my MCX for a bit and that thing went through a beating. My buddy also has it on his FN reflect with 0 issues. My EPS has been great and I would trust it for now but you may want to try that 407k. It also goes without saying, if holosun gives or gave you a bad dot, their warranty is amazing and they will do right. If none of that is appealing contact wager machine and he can remill your slide for usually under $100.

Primary machine cut both of my USP45 Tacticals for an RMR. Super deep cut and allows me to cowitness with standard height sights. And cut is tight enough where the sight is taken off for battery change and the rounds still land in the X ring at 25 yards. Couldn’t be happier. Roughly $250 and great reputation with the company. Nitride rather than cerokote which is always a big win.
Yep, ive been looking at Impact Machine and Dual Hammer Industries for the cut. Ill take a look at Primary Machine!
Feel free to email me pictures of your setups if you'd like! Im for sure interested in doing something similar.
