This was a great video. lots of good information and great humor.
Yes, you might get a lot of stickiness on you when you shoot watermelons at close range. make sure you read the laundry instructions on the jacket. :)
Seriously, cool video. thanks a lot.
Thank you for all the work you've done. I'm very glad you got to see this video and appreciate it.
Thanks to both of you!👍
You guys are the best
Love you Paul
🤣
Roy Harrell here. I will make sure Paul sees this. Great job.
Roy, I have been waiting for you to do exactly this. I was thinking it would be hilarious now that you have established your own style, to do an impersonation episode, but it looks like Mauser Man beat you to it.
Thanks Roy. You have a lot of my respect.
It's so awesome that Paul has touched so many people and guys like 8mm Mauser Man are here to carry on his legacy. ❤
Hey Roy, with the DPMS rifle being in the news lately, I would love to hear your's and @PaulHarrell opinion on them. My first AR was a DPMS and I do still have it and still use it regularly for coyotes and such. It wasn't cheap when I bought it back in early 2000's but most people talk about it being an inferior, low end rifle. Thanks!
Ive had experience with a few dpms’s. Never had or seen a problem. No they aint sub moa, but they do the job
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. I hope Paul sees this. I think he would approve
Only Paul Harrell is allowed to wear a brown hunting jacket. Only he has the me magical powers to draw an M16a1 out of his pockets.
LOL
an a1 which isnt an a2, it just has a2 handguards on it
I hope paul Harrell appreciates you as much as we do haha
Thanks Mr. Sniper
Only thing missing is the Meat Target. Maybe the real trick is to have a jacket that's not as tight for easier pocket work. Paul always had the pockets set up like magic
My wife got me a Bob Allen Shooting Jacket for my birthday, and I got a size L for that same reason
You absolutely nailed Paul’s delivery style. Props.
This was awesome man. The Harrellism’s are spot on!
“FTX… like a ballistic tip…”
“Harrellisms” is now a part of my vocabulary.
That Pop Tarts intro!
Btw, that bird in the background is a red-winged blackbird. This is the sort of thing you become interested in when you reach your 40s. I sure didn’t anticipate it.
They're somewhat common in these parts. In a few videos filmed at this location, you can hear the sandhill cranes in the background.
Those are one of my favorite birds! As a kid I lived accross the street from a pond and they were there every year. Migratory. Beautiful, piercing calls, too. Baller of a little bird.
Sure it ain’t a blackbodied redbird?
As a 39 year old... damn it you're so right! I film and then look birds like every other day lol
I find myself appreciating good pens and well constructed spreadsheets post 40
This was an absolutely incredible tribute. You captured like 95% of what makes a paul harrell video great. Awesome paul and roy have both seen and enjoyed this video!
We are all Paul Harrell
His name is Robert pauls.... I mean Paul Harrell.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well done young man. This deserves a follow.
Great job, humorous and yet respectful. Once upon a time I shot .380 in an East German Makarov. I noted that the report was louder and there seemed to be more blow back out of the ejection port. I also noticed that the recoil felt snappier or sharper but the striking power against plates and pins seemed less. I also saw the bulged cases, but my memory was that the bulging was around the entire case and about half between the front and back of the case.
My father who was with me at the time told me that it was probably not a good idea to continue firing the .380 and that I was risking damaging the gun. So, here we are decades later and your video and technology, which I didn't have access to and some of which didn't exist, has verified mine and my father's observations. Thank you.
I've seen so many people online giving advice counter to this. Glad to help!
You have the mannerisms down pat and they come off as natural and genuine. You made me smile this morning. I hope you have a great week.
The part that impressed me the most is you actually have Bear ammo. That's some good shit but it's rarer than hen's teeth in the US currently.
14 donuts a box at a gun show, and I couldn't believe it. I bought the guy out.
@@8mmmauserman That's an incredible price in today's market... That 9x18 Hornady FTX isn't very common either. I just wish they didn't discontinue their 9x18 offering with the XTP bullet, as most of my old comblock pistols didn't like the FTP but ate up the XTP flawlessly.
@@8mmmauserman I'd have done the same, that's a damn good deal
This is what brotherly love looks like 👊
I'm not saying change your channel, but I am saying that a regular feature in which you continue Paul's work of rigorous testing and comparison would not just be welcome, but would be both a positive contribution to the shooting community and a fitting legacy to the man himself.
Thank you.
Thanks for this. Brings a smile to my face. We hold Paul Harrell in greatest esteem and fond affection. Thanks again.
😂 Weird Al Yankovic doing Paul Harrell 😂
Fantastic homage to Paul
Paul Harrell is the Rush of the firearms world. He's a master of his art, and he inspires so many new practitioners to be true as well.
I cannot make a better comment than what has been previously said, "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. I hope Paul sees this. I think he would approve", this is an amazing tribute and done with all respect to Paul.
I've never seen your channel before, and saw this video. Definitely caught my eye.
Great tribute to a great teacher. I'm sure Paul would appreciate it immensely.
Plus, I liked your discourse at the end. You've earned my follow. 👍
Cool video , and nice to see that Roy saw it and said he will pass it along to Paul !
Nice work. I've been watching Paul for years too and though I've been teaching firearms since 1980, I learned something new, well, new to me anyway, from every video and passed them on to my friends. Likewise, in this video, I didn't know that there was a bullet diameter difference of 2mm between these two calibers. That is actually a fairly substantial difference and another reason why you should only use the right size ammunition for the firearm you have.
Along the lines of your anecdote, I was a weapons instructor in the Air Force when we still carried revolvers. Most of us carried either S&W model 10 or model 15. But the ammo we were issued was a special load developed for the military called PGU-12. It was a 130 gr. FMJ that was seated low in the case and it was HOT! So hot that we were constantly having to tighten screws on the guns and replace missing thumb pieces and rear sight assemblies that would fall off due to the screws being backed out from the vibrations under recoil. PGU-12 was nearly as powerful as a .357 magnum...nearly.
I can not believe how spot on he is imitating Paul , right down to his exact words and feet placement. Get well Paul 🙏🏽 and thank you Roy for helping on Paul’s channel👍👍Super job Mauser98 Man👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸✌🏻🙏🏽
I think we found our guy.
A very honorable thing you've done here good Sir.
I truly hope Paul see's this and knows the deep affection and appreciation
we have for him.
I think your imitation of Paul's style is sincere flattery. Keep it up!
Your imitation of Paul is so good I subscribed to your channel!
You NAILED that thumbnail dude. I seen it without reading the title and immediately thought Paul Harrell
Oh man, I thought this was super!!!! Ode to Paul Harrell YES SIR! Bless that man. I hope Paul see's this. Thank you for making this.
This is fantastic! You can tell lots of love went into making this video. Absolutely phenomenal!
Hope old man sees this, I think he would be amused. Good job.
The attention to detail is insane 😂
Great job and a great homage to Paul, well done.
I seem to remember that when they imported a bunch of Makarovs back in the day, many of them had been stamped 380 but had not been rebarreled. Interesting experiment sir
The "Like a ballistic tip" really gets my goat😂
Enjoyed the satirical copy of Paul's model of video. He's a legend, and has rightly attained that status thanks to the objective evaluation and careful work and analysis that he put into all his videos over the years. His legacy is a body of work of great value in introducing concepts and facts to beginners and old hands alike. Your tribute video to Paul is apropos of the respect and gratitude that we all feel towards his work on our behalf. Good job.
At first I thought, what blasphemy is this? Then I realized you were doing a homage to the great one. The formula does work.
This really is a beautiful tribute. Well done brother
Hold up, hold up, hold up. My man. This is gold. Real Paul Harrell vibes. Thank you.
PPU has the "Defense" line JHP load which is affordable, findable, and well-made, but Buffalo Bore also makes a very nice 9x18 +P JHP.
Although for the Buffalo Bore, I highly suggest using a new recoil spring; or at least make sure the original is still springy for any amount of continuous shooting. It's a stout round, and your hand will definitely feel it after a few strings of fire; especially with a worn/weak recoil spring. It's also more expensive, but for self-defense it's worthwhile imo.
My standard practice for carry is to load the first 6-7 rounds with PPU JHP, then top it off with Buffalo Bore (plus one in the pipe); therefore the first 2-3 rounds fired will be the +P wallopers.
Dan Harmon (creator of Rick and Morty) describing how he found Paul Harrel on youtube is still one of the funniest things i've ever heard in a podcast. Paul's videos really are the best intro to shooting you could ask for.
Excellent. Both the topic and the Paul impression
Pretty cool paul Harrell impersonation
"FTX, like a ballistic tip." I hope Paul noticed how many times you said that.
Thanks for the vid! It was funny and informative. I almost forgot, nice find with the jacket!
So, shooting the wrong caliber out of a pistol is a bad Idea.
Generally; in some cases it can damage weapons or cause risk of injury; in thus case it just failed to measure up, but it seems to be safe in a situation where you cant get the proper ammo.
Every point you bring up about Paul is one I also appreciate. He will just explain things without ego or agenda, honestly. Hes a solid dude.
Paul has touched more lives than he can ever fathom. Glad he motivated you to film this video. Subscribed
Intro was a 10/10
YOUR DOING THE LORDS WORK MY GUY
The first minute of this would make any Paul Harrell fan proud. Good job man, good vid good content.
perfect! down to the interesting premise. didn't know 380 would even cycle in a makarov. Paul will be proud
Wow. Paul looks so young in this video.
Seriously though this was a very good impression of a Paul Harrell video. 10/10
Absolutely spectacular homage to an absolutely spectacular vlogger.
That he put so much effort into so many little details is quite an honor.
This video is excellent work! And I really appreciate your heartfelt talk at the end.
This is awesome, I hope Paul sees this
Man, you nailed a lot of Paul's mannerisms! I really had a good time watching and even learned not to use the wrong ammo in my 9x18.
Having watched sooo many of Paul's videos how could I not watch this.
You're alright. I like what you're doing, and it looks like Paul does too. Well done. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
Bravo! Great delivery......awesome tribute and a truly genuine way to honor Paul. SUBSCRIBED
This is the most wholesome and amazing thing I've ever seen on RUclips. Truly community. I loved this video to such a respectable figure.
Well done - a fitting omage to Paul. Subscribed (I don't know why not already).
As a RevolverGuy myself, if it's marked as a Model 36, it's 100% safe to fire +P ammo through. +P ammo has been around a lot longer than most people think. However, I still wouldn't necessarily recommend it, because with a fixed sight J-Frame, even most modern ones, you'll hit between 4 and 8 inches low at 10 yards, depending on exact velocity and bullet weight. They're sighted for standard velocity 158 gr ammo, so youll be hitting much closer to point of aim with a 148 gr wadcutter.
This is fucking beautiful. You are clearly what they call a professional.
You got me with the chronograph readings, thanks to you, and utmost appreciation to Paul
Found this just now. Even if late, thank you for your great homage to Paul.
I'm glad he got to see it before he passed.
Much respect for keeping the Paul Harrell style going! I bet he'll comment or respond in a video 😅
Fantastic impression man! Man you nailed it all- the dictation and parlance the expressions, body language and posture, slow and intentional but jerky and sudden movements. Multiple asides added to complete thoughts. Legitimately very talented acting
What a great video. We all love and hsve learned so much from Paul.
Anyway good job and really glad Paul saw it.
Watched it yesterday on my TV came back today to say good job, & see that the Harrell brothers already commented.
Well done young man…well done indeed! What a great way to pay homage to a legend👍👍
Nicely done! Not only a very respectful tribute to Paul, but an excellent presentation of why it's not necessarily a good idea to shoot ammunition that your firearm isn't chambered for. Hope you get the watermelon out of that jacket!
This deserves a thumbs up for concept alone. 👏
This was fun to watch! You did Paul right! Paul we love you and this video is proof of it.
I'm having a blast watching this video! Thank you for creating it! Seeing Paul and Roy comment on it is also amazing!
Seriously the best flattery of Paul I’ve seen awesome job sir !
Excellent! Nailed it!
Nice tribute to Mr. Harrell, and funny. Greatly appreciated.
Awesome! glad Paul saw this and commented! New subscriber 👍
Great video and a great tribute to Mr. Harrell
this is simply beautiful. thank you for making this video. i'm sure paul loves it.
Everything was spot on. This man is a true Harreller. Subbed.
I have posted this on the Facebook group that has people from Paul's crew in it and tagged them to show it to Paul. I'm sure he'll see it. I was able to go to his symposium in March and get to listen to advice and anecdotes for 4 hours from Paul and have my a2 clone signed by him. It was amazing
Thanks! His comment is pinned, so it should appear at the top.
Perhaps this will help my fellow Mak enthusiasts; I produce my 9x18 brass by cutting down abundant fired 9mm Luger to .700. Run the case through 9x18 sizer, recheck for nominal OAL, then load with .361-362 bullets. Load moderate charges, 92-94% of full power for thr first firing of these cases; the web and base of a 9mm Luger is slightly smaller diameter than 9x18 but it will expand and form fit to your chamber. What matters is the case mouth sits where it should against the bore and seals the breech. These cut down cases can be re-used many times, 9mm Luger specs at 30-33K psi where 9x18 is going to run in the 20-22K. I invested in a 9x18 die set and a .362 105gr bullet mold; i will never have a problem making ammo for my Makarov. Hope that helps someone
This is good to know. Thanks!
Excellent Job! You nailed Paul's personality!
Little known fact about the CZ-82/83 and other Makarov style pistol is you can use them as bottle openers after locking the slide to the rear and using the front of the frame.
Very well done, and with dignity and class.
I've not seen your channel yet, but THIS just got my sub.
I'll look at your other stuff as I get more time.
Glad you could join in!
Really appreciate you making this vid when you did
Sad to hear he passed
Well done Mr H, I mean 8MM. Some great advice on what not to do. I hoe Mr H appreciates the imitation.
What a nice tribute to Mr Harrell. Great content man.
Well done, not only as a tribute but as an informational video of it's own.
I'm wheeze laughing here. Fantastic video. Would love to see more like this.
The dedication and this extremely well made video honoring Paul, earned an instant Sub from me!
Great job dude! Appreciate it.
Awesome video, you have that guy down perfectly. Very entertaining stuff.
Instructions unclear, I now have 9mm Makarov jammed in my 380 Russian export Makarov pistol
OOF
After the first shot and "989" I lost it. I didn't expect to but I think that's when I realized exactly what this was. This was a nice introduction to your channel
Thanks man. I hope you can stick around and enjoy some of the other content
I enjoyed your imitation of Paul. You did a great job.
