RIP James, I still cant wrap my mind around this.
"Extra lube does not equal extra love"....wise words
Yep, you need a little friction in there to make that girl happy. What? Don't we call our guns our gals or is that just me?
I run my AR's wetter than a whore on payday. They're greasier than a Jew on payday.
Excellent points 👍🏻, I’m probably guilty of over lube
“Buy some mags cheap bastard “ I died laughing
The nuclear bomb analogy was spot on and priceless!
“The I-beams gave!!” Haha
Even the Glock manual states to use oil sparingly.
@@blackrifle3742 We can't read. We just look at the pictures.
What can i find this manual you speak of?
I AM an engineer and I wouldn't try to do engineering tasks on a gun. I guess at least I'm aware of what I don't know.
Right!
Hehehe, funny you say that. Not saying you're one of them, but all the engineers {okay, people with engineering degrees} I've met or have spoken too, usually had too much stuff to say about the things they knew nothing about.
@@dannywoods3928 That does happen - I know my ability to shut up comes from experience.
@@dannywoods3928 That's 99% of the world.
It is so good to have James Yeager back 😃. The first problem solved at the indoor shooting range is :: hold the gun sideways , gangsta style ,lol.
Great vid Mr. Yeager. I have been making two of these operator errors. One I had already learned my lesson on. I was over lubing my pistol by using Froglube and putting it everywhere. Firing pin return spring broke on my striker fired PPQ and when I took it apart it was absolutely filled with crud. I'm sure this had an effect on why it broke. The second was putting a round in the chamber and running the extractor over the rim. I just learned this was wrong by watching this video and will not do it again. Thank you sir for putting this information out for free. I'm on disability from a drunk driver running over me on my motorcycle so I'll probably never take one of your classes (and wouldn't take any charity to do it) just wanted to let you know I love your vids and thank you for making them.

Not to be nitpicky but an AR-15 Hammer resets long before the case ejects.
If the discussion was limited to one firearm, like the AR-15, you wouldn't be a dick.
My bad you were the one talking about AR-15s . Just pointing out what you were talking about
@@JamesYeagerofTacticalResponse you were talking about the AR-15 specifically. Your point was made but this guys points out something and you call him a dick? Seems a bit harsh lol
James thank you I'm a dumb ass that drops a round into the chamber man I really did not know that I will not do that again . Man I have to get out to tactical response for some proper training.
Tactical Response training is excellent!
@@KimTownsel I will definitely be going soon.
@@billterry967 Make Fighting Pistol happen in 2019.
@@johnwilburn if the wife can take vacation I definitely will cant drag all the kids with lol.
Dropping one in the chamber on certain platforms can be a safety issue as well i.e m1as have the potential to slam fire see it happen before
Buy some new mags ya cheap bastard. I love it. Plain spoken James Yeager. We need lots more like that.
I'll admit that I have had a gas block come loose on an AR build before. It is embarrassing but I learned my lesson.
Any time I have worked on a gun that doesn't run for someone, yes I am a Smith, first thing I do is completely strip, clean, inspect and properly lube the firearms. 9 times out of 10 there goes the issue. Folks need to RTFM! That's why they come in the box with your guns.
AMEN Brother!
I love you Smith's. I work on my own, now, but when I first started getting into rifle shooting I kept having a failure to eject on my spikes tac. I found out on my own that my gasblock kept migrating. I'd get it back down, retighten it, everything. Once I finally pounded the fker off, I found a hole being bored THROUGH THE GAS BLOCK. I got a new one, but I brought it to a Smith for fear of it happening again. He put (may be unorthodox) the smallest little notch right where the gasblock screw met the barrel. Not enough to ruin integrity or anything. But I thought that was fuckin genious. Charged me 20 bucks, and the place he worked gave me a free 3 hours on their range with it. They practically paid me.
one of the first things I did with my glock was read the manual. Glad I did saved me a lot of issues.
@@Shawncsc think they call that staking and it’s what Yeager recommended. Not sure tho. I am not familiar with rifles at all.
3 years later and this comment still kills me. I've been watching past JY videos in his remembrance
In regards to mags, always buy more. Youre right, the gun far outlasts the mags. Do your tires outlast your car? Always buy more mags.
I'm a firm believer in stupidity should be painful
Its one thing to tell someone to go back to the truck when they forget a tool or allow them to not wear gloves after you told them to when trimming a rose bush. Hard lessons can be tragic when you are talking guns though. I wouldnt want to ever say "told you so" to someone who drew down on an active shooter and had a malfunction.
James, what a great instructor/lecturer you are on these matters. Always grateful for all you do for us. If I tried building an AR or really any gun it would come out looking like the Three Stooges did it.
Over lubrication of any platform is a problem. Like knuckleheads that think you're supposed to run an AR "wet". Oil running off into every orifice, your magazine, etc..(stove pipe anyone?) I learned that one the hard way.
Ordered a new extractor. Thank you as always for pulling my head out of my ass

"Cheap Bastard" lol
"Buy some mags! Cheap bastard." 😂😂😂
First video that came up for me after viewing the live feed on Sept. 7th.
I bought reloads from an ammo manufacturer, and in 1,000 rounds i had about 50 malfunctions ranging from double feeds, failure to feeds due to bullet setback, and stovepipes. Of course people were blaming my gun, but when ive had 1800 rounds through the gun with only 2 malfunctions, then started getting all these malfunctions when i switched to the reloaded ammo im pretty sure the ammo is to blame.
@@libtardgunlover762 i can only imagine
I agree! There may be a cost savings to reloading, however it is not worth the risk of malfunctions in my opinion. I like the peace of mind from buying new ammo from a reputable manufacturer. Like James says, they know best.
Thanks james, very informative and all around great video.
Had a guy with a home build ar doing same as you talked about. The problem was at the machine shop when the front gas port was drilled on the gas tube it left a gauld wall inside the tube from the drill bit that was limiting the gas exchange from front gas block to bolt carrier assembly. This resulted in BCA not recieving the necessary pressure to cycle properly . I told the guy that his gas tube was made on a friday at 16:55 on a friday...lol
It was the First time I had seen that issue..... Just throwing that out there for others that might run into this problem....
Thanks again for your sharing of your many years of knowledge....
Numbering mags is a great idea! I never thought of that. Thanks.
damn there’s a lot of solid info here
I don’t know why this doesn’t have a lot more views.
People don’t want the truth.
Well delivered and greatly received.
That's a good idea on the +1 round, I have a habit on my CCWs on dropping a round in the slide. It'll be a good idea to load one from the mag and then put another into the magazine
I'm left handed and would get double feeds when i loaded a handgun, the issue was i was loading like a right handed person and needed to adjust slightly. Training at tactical response fixed that "malfunction" for me so thank you.
Very good video, James. I like the way you always revert back to the basics.
Subscribed. You have a great channel. Thank you for your time.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!! I'm one of those assholes it's been dropping around into an empty chamber and then letting the slide go home on it great just great... thanks for letting me know that and I will be correcting my behavior.
Yeah....I was bragging in my own head while watching this video because I've never done or even ever thought to do much of that dumb shit. Then he talked about putting that bullet in the chamber first when loading and I knew I was guilty of that 😔 Damn....
I'm just curious to why anyone would just "drop" in a round?!?
@@cobra1995xx Assuming, their version of topping off the gun. I'm sure I've done it before, when you know better you do better.
Thanks for the info, I like this series of videos.
I thought I was doing a good thing by oiling the firing pin 😞
@@johnandrewserranogarcia7223 yeah I can see that I guess.
Great info, thx James.
Excellent knowledge and wisdom thanks sir...
Great information shared.. Thank you!...
Great video James.
Keep on keeping on James!
Excellent video, Thank You
Good information, several things that took a long time for me to learn the hard way. Specifically strategic lubrication and the crap that sticks to lube that is deep inside your guns.
Lol I related to the first 20 seconds about brass doing weird shit had a spent case perfectly bounce of the wall and land right behind my glasses. Got a narly brass burn on my eyebrow........ I wear a hat now at the range lol
Very Helpful James, Thank you.
James and/or Don should do a vid on the generalities of where to and not to lube on common pistols and rifles.
I think he has something like that in one of his AR dis-assembly vids
Owners manuals do a GREAT job!
Operator error can flat out be applied to life
And to clarify more one my own comment. Exactly what I mean in application to life?
Work, Driving, Getting a loaf of bread late at night, Stop lights, Your significant other or of course firsts'. I will say that work in any capacity is a great way to relate to the gun world.
9:40 “poong” is gonna be my new text message tone
Great little video, much appreciated. I'm guilty of the "drop in" maybe once or twice if I recall, but will NEVER do that again. Traded that pistol at a gun show (before knowing this was an issue), so I hope whoever ends up with it doesn't get a failure in a potential moment of truth.
Another great and very helpful video. Thanks much.
"...buy some mags, you cheap bastard..." James Yeager
Holy s**t. I load my pistol like that after every cleaning. My extractor looks okay but I had never thought of this nor ever had this explained to me. I will not be doing that any longer. Good looking out Bubba. Thank you.
When I was in the US Navy my small arms instructors (Gunner"s Mates and Marines) taught us that 90% of the time weapon malfunctions were due to a loose nut , that bring the nut behind the butt . During one indoor qual with the 1911A1 a piece of brass bounced off the overhead and came to rest between my eye pro and cheek . Freak of chance . But I finished the round of fire before grounding my weapon , stepping back from the firing line and removing my eye pro . I didn't get ejected for a range safety violation and qualled . I got a burn scar that made me the object of scuttlebutt around the ship for a while . After a four year duty at sea on a DDG then a two year durt as a Military Policeman , I went on a four year duty on a CG . During an qual on an outdoor range my 1911A1 had a failure to feed . I looked at the ejection port , saw a round not fully chambered , smacked the rear of the slide home and continued firing . A gunner's mate said to me that they couldn't teach me to do that . I responded that the MPs had already taught me the procedure , I had in my muscle memory and couldn't unlearn it . The Gunnery Officer allowed me to stay on the range and continue firing for qual , said that in a real firefight I wouldn't have a GM behind me to clear a malfunction . Guns went on to become an ANGLICO (Air & Naval Gunfire Liason Control Officer ) and one of the sharpest Naval officers I ever served with .
Great info James 👍

love your shirt! lol thanks for the vid!
You really know your stuff, I’ve learned a lot from you and Clint Smith.
2 patriots
Informative, thanks
RIP James.
Thanks for the advice about not dropping the round in before releasing the slide. Hasn't hurt me yet, but I'll be checking my guns for issues today.
You cannot SEE the damage you have done.
Im always skeptical when someone says they've "never" had a problem or their gun will shoot "anything" you feed it. Guns are just machines, Ive seen plenty of good reliable guns get all kinds of jammed because of shit ammo, bad mags or poor maintenance.
Yea theyr full of phony balogne those 10,000 round guys
100% Solid Advice!
Damn! I'll be replacing several extractors I'm sure. I have many handguns and until now I never realized all the times I put a round in the chamber, released the slide and then inserted a fully loaded magazine that I was doing something wrong. I've just checked my Glock 43x after watching this video and sure enough my extractor is badly chipped. I wrongly assumed handguns were designed for this type of use.
I've was about 10 of your videos and you are straight forward and brutally honest....finally someone who is not trying to be gentle and careful not to offend with the truth...subscribed
Good shit
I just ordered a new Extractor. Didn’t you make a Video on spare parts you need for your Glock?
I’ve seen guys release the slide on an empty 1911, I always wince when I see them doing that, kinda like revving a cold engine. :)
His advice on lubrication is spot on but it even goes beyond firearms. So many mechanical things get too much oil/lube from people who don’t know better. I used to train guys on how to properly lube fleets of trucks/heavy equipment and it’s shocking how far part failure rates decrease when people learn how to do such a simple thing right.
That was a good video James. Thank you
My friend recently built an AR and thought it was malfunctioning and sure enough it was just the new mag being broken in. Happened to me as well with my first AR but after about 10 rounds it was going smooth.
New shooters also flinch much worse indoors due to the blast and noise... seems to cause limp wristing more frequently.
Lots of good points on here!
Nevermind home builds, I have seen some scary shit from the $499 specials.
Still have a friend who refuses to rack it back they insist on the release... smfh
I love Yeager, but having brass ricochet and return to the ejection part is hilarious
Why so?
Thank you !
Always keep spare mag springs and a spare guide rod
I always like what this guy says but IDK about the whole aftermarket thing. Wilson Combat makes a nice 92G Beretta. They get the gun from Beretta and hook it up with sweet upgrades and a good trigger.
How often (approximate round count) do you change out your mags?
I learned from James never to over oil my guns. RIP
You are spot on James! I own 4 Glocks...had a 21 mag spring break in half!
Dude this channel is awesome.
I appreciate that!
I learned a bunch from this video. Thanks James

James, do you still recommend high temp lithium grease?...or is that just for rifle Thx.
Wow the fact a round bounced off a wall and back in a gun does happen ive seen it happen it was so weird that he mentioned happen
That was a very good video. I'm gonna save it and watch it again. Gonna make the kids watch it too. Thank you!!!
" don't be a cheap bastard, buy some mags" lmao
Great Video
Had a round bounce back into the chamber on last shot when slide locked open, i was mad as hell cause I didnt have it on camera
Excellent video! Finally someone broke it down barney style for those that won't listen. 👍👍
Mr Yeager thank you for another great vid, yes ok here in the UK the "powers that be" wont let us common folk have guns. However your comments about not needing to know how the engine in the car works to enable you to drive the car, struck a cord you are right, though having some knowledge of the workings of whatever machine you use very often will help the user. Indeed you mention the correct loading of a handgun will avoid damage to the extractor, and also correct oiling to avoid damage to the working parts. Great points and as you always advocate good training is vital thank, you again.
I learned I was making a big mistake by dropping a round in the chamber through the extraction port. Thank you for the education!
You are quite welcome. If you ever wanna help the cause Patreon.com/JamesYeager
Thank you
8:53 hahahaha
It´s funny because this is applicable to a lot of stuff. People blaming their computers usually have done something to fuck them up. People blaming their cars tend to have aftermarket parts or simply don´t know how to drive. Good stuff.
Bad ammo is a big one. There for a while "gun show" reloads were all the rage until they started having major issues. I was even guilty of buying some on a whim. Im lucky I didn't break my extractor trying to get a stuck live rounds out of the chamber. Id have to press the top of the slide on a hard service to get the round out. Never again.
GOOD ONE!!!!

What do you use to mark your magazines with everyone? a white sharpie?
Paint pen
@@JamesYeagerofTacticalResponse Thank you sir 🇺🇸 i was thinking a paint pen. Makes alot of sense to mark your mags then u can narrow your search for issues
My colt 1911 never malfunctions 😂. Probably because 99% of 1911 owners don’t shoot them or carry them. I personally carry a Cz 75 pre b i like it a lot i also own a Glock 19 g4 just in case the Cz starts choking when the zombie apocalypse starts. I do own a colt custom 38 super it’s shinny but it doesn’t help with anything and ammo is expensive all my hispano friends get mad when I tell them it sucks and 9mm is just as good and with some premium ammo is even better than 38 super.
I shoot and carry my 1911A1. I don't want a dolled up 1911. Parkerized or it's not coming home with me.
I got a deal on big bags of reloads.
Mr. Yeager is right.
Random malfunctions that never occur with factory ammo.
Reloads are NEVER a good deal.
I drop in a shotgun shell and rack the slide forward all the time. Is this just bad for pistols?
I learned something on this video, do not drop a round in the chamber and then let the slide go, that's what happens when you don't know what you don't know that you think you know...
Get Training.
@@JamesYeagerofTacticalResponse I think i am at $350 on the lay a way for training.
I feel the same way. Still doesn't seem real.
HAHAHAHAHA the I beams failed hahah
yet another great vid brother. i'm assuming the moral of the story is if it aint broke dont fix it
The more I listen to James Yeager the more sense he makes.
