It's true to a degree though. I know people who can't hit shit and then there are people like me who have always had good aim...it's weird but the way your brain translates stuff to your body has to play a part.
I am cross eyed dominant, and for years I had problems with my accuracy. I even tried shooting wrong handed to try to correct it. And then I watched your video on shooting cross eyed dominant, and it has made a world of difference. Thanks dude for the help.
@@bennyjetts627I don’t think think this is something that just starts happening. It’s more likely that you’ve just figured this out about yourself and it’s the way you’ve always been. Just search his channel for “cross eye dominant” and the vid should come up.
upgrading with an apex trigger kit gave me a much smoother and more consistent trigger pull. when i went back to stock i noticed the improvements carried over
LUCAS JUST USED A BULLET TO TAKE OFF HIS LIGHT. Also hearing that youre gonna finally get some m&p 2.0s makes me so happy. Finally i get to hear your opinion on it
As far as a gen 4/5 glock, I highly recommend the TangoDown mag release, and the Glock EO extended slide release (its technically a Glock 34/35 release.) Strangely enough Glock makes the best slide stop for a gun that isnt a competition piece.
M&P 2.0s are pretty awesome. I have had a few over the years and i prefer them over Glocks in all honesty, grip angle is better, (for me) trigger is FAR better,(for everyone..) reliability is the same, they are pretty damn squared away. But I run a Shadow Systems MR920 with a dot now. And I'm so happy with it
@@slappomatthewI might agree on a 1st gen M&P, haven't shot one in forever but i remember the triggers not being great. But the 2.0 triggers are outstanding especially compared to a Glock. Triggers are one of those things, if you like it then do it. Long as It's reliable then it's whatever. I typically just keep them stock on pistols, but my M4s I upgrade to Geissele triggers on all of them.
It looks like Lucas is going to burst a blood vessel when Steve talks slower than him. 😂. And for the record, that’s not mean, I sound exactly like Steve.
I think Lucas has a huge personality that fills a room and he's VERY familiar to talking to a camera that isn't responding- watch most of his videos as an example. Steve is a bit more reserved here and perhaps prefers a more conversational tone rather than monologic style?
Ye tho the slow tone of steve, is easier to hear. Well down to earth. That hi pitch mid west accent is tough to hear. Lucas needs to take a vacation or something, he seems ready to shoot someone at times. Tho even when he's chill, that's his regular accent. So he needs singing lessons for deeper relaxed tones or something. Keep the state accent, tho get rid of that hi pitch serious way of talking. I normally would say, " well 1 had a high pitch showboat tone & the other has a laid back reserverd tone, diff personalities are great. " Tho in this case Lucas's frequency is so harsh to hear, like unplugged grey tv sound. Makes me not want to be a streamer. Or maybe stop shooting animals & only being about metal objects & instead find nature again.
On your silencers twisting off try a high temp rubber bushing at the back of the threads that the can can tighten up against. The rubber should put pressure on the threads and keep it from coming loose.

Really good to see the overt reference to civi and ex mil. I found civi's with singular focus have specialist benefits where they have greater opportunity than military. Similarly the military guys have their strengths. Being straight up about your back ground always carries well.
I’m that “Old Guy” ex-Fudd. 1911 guy since 1982. Upgraded to a 2011 Staccato P, then C2. Both with RMR. Tried for a 365 Macro Comp with a Sig Red Dot, settled on my current 320X Compact running a Romeo Zero. These red dots have really mitigated my astigmatism and lack of fast alignment. Great advice on a WML & RDS.
As a Military veteran trained in expert marksmenship , using iron sights as a beginner in shooting & mechanics is the best advice that I’ve heard so far. Because practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes expertise perfect practice. 11:51
Hey Lucas and Steve, thank you for making this vid for nubies like me. That be nice if you could put links under the video to all your preferred Glock 19 upgrades you were talking about. Thanks again.
I would love it if y’all published these as a podcast. I often don’t have time to sit and watch the whole thing but I have a long commute I could listen to it on.
@40min, I own the 3 pistols your discussing Gen 3 Glock 17, M&P 2.0, and a CZ P10C. Out of the box, the CZ takes the cake for the trigger and ergonomics. All 3 are great pistols, all in all you can't go wrong with the Glock or the M&P.
Just made the switch to a red dot on a pistol, I will not go back. Speed and accuracy at distance are increased by a lot for me, my eyes are crap with irons on both pistols and rifles. The only downside is cost.
The rechargeable Olight Mini at 90 bucks will beat any light you have mentioned so far plus if you should ever need to use the light by hand it has a quick detach and it don't stick way the hell out in front of the barrel...
And it will blow up like a grenade too. Rofl fuck Olight, cheap garbage. Spend $30 more and get a Streamlight, and be able to actually trust your light with your life.
I believe you would really like the M&P 2.0 compact. I have 2 of them. 1 is over 6k in rounds and the other just under 2k. They run well and you can find then for around $400 or less.
Man am I glad I snagged my Glock threaded OEM barrel ages ago :o. Also weird to have been running the left hand thread-pitch this whole time and just NOW realize that it has benefits.
I mean no disrespect when I say this but I truly respect the man to the right for clearing a new introduced handgun if not for himself or the camera man at least gives positive reinforcement to the public to always clear your gear
I feel like there's a huge exception when it comes to buying skill and that's red dots.... Shot irons for around 4 years and got good enough to feel satisfied with myself..... Almost a year ago I decided to purchase a Walther 4.5 " PDP to actually try out red dots on my own instead of trying others at the range here and there. Literally in just 1 days time the skill wall I was stationary at was completely broken and it was like I finally seen the light! It was like I was using cheat codes in real life and was actually a breath of fresh air that gave me the motivation to practice more and more and start attending training.
The Steyr M9a2 is awesome to shot if u get used to the trapeziod sights. Very high grip and the slide is kinda flat, so you even notice the recoil less / can manage it even better. My brother is owning one, i got myself a glock 17 gen4+. We are both from austria so we have to go with austrian pistols for your first ones. =P
I would like to always keep irons on my handgun, glass and break, even 10 years from now, irons still don't take up too much space at all on a handgun and I would prefer not to have built-in red dots on a handgun, my 2 cents.
I love that these are all an hour plus, watching Lucas' behavior shift as he consumes more Reign is quality entertainment. Got any thoughts on Target brand (Goodfella's) skinny jeans? I find they are great for concealed carry because the slight amount of stretch they have.
You could Steve become much more comfortable halfway through which is great to see. All in all great Q&A. All this knowledge given I think I’m going with an XD lmao ;)
Red dot for older students. I attended a P.O.S.T. instructor course earlier this year where I was the oldest student, at about the same age as the head instructor. The small department where I work the lead instructor has been an “iron sights” only guy. I’m an above average shooter with good basic fundamentals and I performed well enough during qualifications to become selected as an apprentice instructor. While in the instructor course, it became apparent my eyes are getting worse as I no longer have clear front sight focus as all my sights and the target are a slight blur, even with prescription glasses. The head instructor of the school recommended a red dot due to my aging eyes. My lead instructor was attending the same course, as a refresher, and the head instructor of the class finally convinced my lead instructor older officers may need to transition to a red dot. My long winded way of saying transitioning to red dot may be out of necessity for older people, but you must continue to practice good basic fundamentals. Thanks for the video!
I disagree with Tritium. What I have noticed is when doing night shooting, if I use tritium sights with a weapon light, once I cut the light off, I can pick up my sights almost immediately after where it takes a good bit longer to pick up regular sights once I cut the white light off. It is a more limited use however I still prefer to pick my sights back up right away.
I bought a glock 23 gen 5. I put 50 tritium sights on it, and a talon grip. The gun is now good to go. The thing about pistol flashlight is it gives your assailant a place to shoot at. Where as if i hand hold a light i will hold it out and away from my and my body and head. This is prolly oldschool technique that my grandfather taught me. You do this because if theres a light on your pistol it provides a good target to shoot at if youre a bad guy. However I see the benefits of not having to hold the pistol one handed and shine a light and do 2 things at once. Ive been thinking of a compact light and laser on my pistol.
You don't need a laser. Modern high-candela pistol lights are so bright that the bad guy will hardly be able to look at them, much less aim at them. Skip the laser, get an X300 Turbo
Speaking of FMJ and barriers: I was a final year dental student at the largest dental school in Africa (UWC in Cape Town, RSA) assisting a maxillo-facial surgeon registrar with a 14 y.o. male patient who got shot in the shoulder and jaw. He was referred to us from the hospital next door. Judging by the shitty hand tattoos he's probably in a Cape flats street gang. His story was that he was riding in a mini bus taxi with his friends to somewhere when a rival gang member shot at them. Probably a Norinco Type 54 model 213, they're very common here. The 9mm FMJ rounds went through the corner frame of the windshield of the mini bus and struck him in the shoulder/high chest area and in the jaw. Both bullets were intact without much deformation. The chest shot went through completely. The entry hole and exit holes looked pretty discreet. The one that struck his jaw was perfectly parallel to the inferior alveolar nerve canal on the left hand side of his mandible, resting just below the root apices of his teeth, stuck tightly in the alveolar bone (probably acted like a sponge/force absorber). We accessed the bullet by making an incision in the buccal sulcus and exposed the underlying bone, after which we rotated the bullet out using a Warwick James elevator, sutured him up and wired his maxilla and mandible together with the IMF technique. The force of the bullet, after passing through a vehicle frame, was adequate enough to fracture the angle of his mandible as the bone absorbed its force.
My duty weapon: G19 with an APEX trigger which is not that special other than having a more robust trigger safety tang. Trigger pull is still 6lbs. Brownells slide with Holosun HS507C circle dot. PERFECT fit. Blacked out suppressor height sights. Viridian Green laser and 100 lumen light module...optional strobe function. Not a cheap item at $350. Have had it for years. Robust. Lone Wolf Alpha Wolf fluted, nitrided barrel. Love it. Also: Safariland ALS drop leg holster modded to fit the HS507C My mod that actually helps me shoot better is the green laser because at my age shooting really WELL with irons is really hard. Astigmatism and 2.75 reading power. Just getting used to the red dot which is designed as my back up sight. Viridian laser is my Primary. I need to lighten the trigger to 4.5 to 5 llbs. Hot tip: BED your RDS with Tef Gel. BUY and install SS screws to mount your RDS on Amazon. The black oxide coated mild steel screws will rust from rain and sweat in a couple months. Use PURPLE low strength Loctite with the Gen 1 HS507C. You need to be able to remove your RDS with OUT a heat gun. Blue Loctite is only OK for Gen 2 HS507C which has the battery in a tray.
First thing I upgraded on my Glock 45 was the sights. Threw some ameriglo hackathorns on there. That’s what I recommend for most people. (I got tritium night sights bc I couldn’t afford a wml yet.)
From my experience. With my glock 45 build, i put in a timney trigger, stainless steel rival arms guide rod and meprolight adjustable night sights. All those upgrades really did help with accuracy (still had to practice though) but the cross armory mag catch and slide stop help with functionality. Shooting idpa, all those parts were an advantage over the oem parts.
Lucas- first off- youre the most attractive person thats ever existed. ALSO i could listen to you guys for hours - ive learned so much from this! its funny because earlier today i asked my cousin why he was buying a second magazine and you coincidentally answered with the 2 incidents where your shit flew everywhere from malfunctions. thanks for this:)
So I usually side with T-REX on most things in general but for me the order of OP's should be #1.reliable pistol #2.get 50-100rds of ball run thru it all then 25-50rds of hollows&repeat #3 get. As many GOOD MAGS that you can afford 🚫ETS BS😅 #4. Good nite/day hard sights #5. Ad grip texture/slight under cut/radius the magwell mouth...bonus pts #6. Replace all controls with better pieces from simple vickers/zev/strike industries all the way to full on titanium race parts lol
I didn't realize how bad my grip was until I put a red dot on my pistol and couldn't find the damn dot without spinning the gun around fishing for the dot. I quickly discovered that my grip sucked. Since working on my grip finding the dot became easier and consistent along with my accuracy.
Training with a milled optic gun will get you better at overall shooting faster than training with just irons. So many guys have trouble finding the dot when coming from irons. That just means they suck and can’t actually aim. Irons are blocky, slow, and not as accurate. It takes more time to decipher a decent sight picture than a red dot. When dry firing, someone with a red dot can get ample more reps in in the same amount of time because of the instant verification of the red dot over doing guesstimated eyeball measurements to ensure the front sight post is perfectly aligned right between the rear sight posts. Simply put you get faster and more accurate yourself because the dot is more simplistic and forces you to be more accurate.
I spent a lot of time dryfiring irons and making sure I had a perfect sight picture, once I started shooting red dots I had no problem finding the red dot and shooting with it. in my opinion if you have a good sight picture with irons then you can be equally as fast if not better with a red dot.
Never take for granted the fact that you can work with your brothers and cool, like minded individuals. I'm an only child and I work in healthcare.... I slide into work on liberal tears.
Tritium night sights with fiber optics are definitely very easy to see with a light on. I night shoot all the time, and if anything the weapon light amplifies the glow because of the open ports for the fiber optics. They end up capturing light from your flashlight and it’s a very nice combo. So if you want night sights, get tritium fiber optic combo! They’re great! Half life is also rated 12 years, not five.
I love fiber optics so so much. When it comes to the iron sight platform as a whole they are vastly superior to anything out..... But there's one thing DRASTICALLY holding them back and that's durability. I've wanted to transition fibers into my edc and defensive use firearms but sadly I've yet to come across "duty" worthy fiber optics. Fiber optics have a home only on the range toys sadly.
Glock 25 is a .380acp double stack exact same size as a g19. Here in Brazil we have g28 that is a .380acp g26. This is because untill 2019 civilians couldn't buy 9mm, .40sw, .45acp etc. The most "potent" handgun caliber civilians could by was .38spl and .380acp. 2019 the president Bolsonaro change the laws and civilians can by 9mm, .45acp, .357mag/sig, 10mm, etc. .44mag and bigger energy calibers are still prohibed for civilians. Same for 5,56mm and other rifle calibers.
I became a good shooter when I was a teenager, I had a lot of trigger time. Now I got Excellent Muzzle Control, because the last thing you need is an Accidental Discharge 😁👍🏻
My 50 yr old eyes appreciate a red dot. Right around 40 yrs old, I noticed it was more difficult to focus on my front sight. Also I feel like I can be more aware of the threat looking through a red dot, than I can staring at front sight.
IMHO, the most important gun accessories one can have are a range pass and ammo to practice with. Without trigger time it doesn't matter what you put on/in your gun.
I'm glad you're talking about this topic. I went cheap on optics, lights and other things and my biggest problem was destroying them on my AK. I stepped up the quality of my attachments and have had no failures. I run Stream Lights on all my AR's, AK's and pistols. The lights are Streamlight TLR-1 HL. Slings for all my rifles are Blue Force Gear 3 point. all my AR mags are PMags to no surprise. Magpul grips for the rifles and Locar for my pistols. For grips are ITach. I hate pressure pads! thay could get caught up in something then my light fails! I hope this comment helps other shooters. We are all in this together. If SHTF happens I need to know you have the right gear to cover my six!! I know I do! Do you?
I’m 42. Accepted the red dots on pistols with open arms lol. I’m military, so I’ll still have to train and qualify on the M18 with irons as well as sustainment training since I’m a firearms instructor, so I have no choice to stay proficient with them which is a good thing. On my personal firearms I have a RMR and a Delta Point Pro. I do a lot of drawing and dry fire practice at home with the red dots though to stay proficient with them as well, it took some practice at first to immediately pick up the dot, but second nature with enough practice.
I just bought one of your holsters right before watching this video, and now I feel like I need a different holster because I clearly need a light and one with a magholder rather than your basic one lmao
Get in touch with customer service, might be able to cancel the order or get something worked out, good guys over there. I have a light compat and a non light compat, I like it for the option but I never go without the light..
@@RBRfilmproductions already shipped oof they're fast! maybe I'll see about returning it or just keeping it for now and buying the sidecar/light holster later.
I still don’t see a need for a light on my edc pistol. A light is used to identify your target, but you don’t draw your concealed handgun unless you’re ready to shoot it which means you’ve already identified the threat. Unless it’s your job to clear rooms in the dark like law enforcement I don’t see the need. If it’s a SHTF scenario then you would likely have your rifle out. If the only gun you have is the handgun and it’s your go to in the middle of the night by the bed then yes get a light.
I have night sights on all the handguns I actually use. I can see them when its dark without my light on (stressing light discipline), with my light on they suddenly look normal ;)
@@thesmallestminorityisthein4045 I bought night sights for the gun before it showed up. Then got the RMR. And just a few months ago finally got the x300u. So I'm pretty set. Been eyeing the tlr7a though for cc. The x300 is a wee bit big.
@@joeyhooper3 I have two TLR7As, I love em. Obviously one benefit to a bigger light is contact shooting. If the light is longer than the muzzle, then the pistol wont have a chance of being pushed out of battery after pressing up to something [read: someone] I chose the 7A strictly because I wanted one type of light for all my pistols, and my G43(poly80 frame) is too small for any other light.
Military for shooting and tactics, I want REAL life shooting instruction. If I want a competition style shot, obviously I’d come to you guys at T-Rex Arms.
Tactics are tactics, efficiency is efficiency, cover/concealment are cover/concealment, and angles are angles... Plenty of good instructors who have never been in the military. I've done a lot of classes with various ex Mil\LE members, but I'd 100% take instruction from Lucas any day
One thing not brought up for red dots is sometimes irons are easier/better for people with astigmatism. I left the red dot behind awhile ago because with everyone I've tried it see three washed out dots(with every illumination level).
I run a tlr-7 on my gen4 glock 19 mos with a trijicon type 2 hrs socom rmr. I have that in a tier 1 concealed axis slim holster. I absolutely love this holster but am looking to try the trex arms and the last line of Defense holsters also just to have options. I’m going to be sending my Glock 45 to Jagerwerks to get a Holosun 508t milled pocket to test that optic out. I’m bought an extra glock 45 mos slide to throw another rmr on so I can switch between the holosun and rmr. A sure fire x300 will be going on the glock 45 as well and that will be going in a trex arms sidecar
One of the things about carrying smaller like the p365 instead of a glock is that you still have to be able to conceal it. If you're 5'5 and 120lb you can't conceal a glock very easily
This kid had convinced In his strong opinions but I can tell he had learned a lot for experience but u can’t discredit something with out a good reason, u do not have to spend $300 on a flashlight for your gun a O-light will get the job done perfectly, now if you have daddy’s money sure put surefire on everything u run!!!
The Steyr does have an aggressive grip angle and Triangle sights. But man do they shoot nice/flat. The sights are awesome once you get used to them. Do yourself a favor and try one.
Hello Coach Lucas , i have a question about some pistol Technics . First of all thanks for your education and demonstration in each videos. I have been following it for a while and using those useful tips as well. Recently i have a question about " Turn around " . Which is mean i stand still pull out the pistol and shoot the target right in front of me , and then next shot ( next target ) is right behind me ,So i have to turn like 180 degree to shoot the target right behind me in the most efficient way.( It' simulate a real situation like i have an enemy in-front of me , i deal with it already , but i heard one appears right behind me , i have to turn around ASAP to deal with it ). Could you teach us how to do one shot to the front target and turn 180 degree around to shoot the Target , which were right behind , with pistol in the most efficient way ? GBB IPSC beginner player from Taiwan. God bless you , and you guys in USA during this pandemic time . Thanks for the constant warm support from US.
I have a P365 and love it. my only issue is, being a left handed shooter with dex issues on my right side, releasing the slide; whether it's releasing by the slide release (harder to manipulate) or slinging the slide (hard to do with dex issues).
Streamlights are usually a better value for dollar than Surefires. Streamlight has more low end options Surefire and their high end options are less expensive than equivalent Surefire and of equal quality.
Good video, I have one handgun with a dot and it took me about 500 rounds maybe a bit more to get comfortable with it . I was so frustrated! Lol I could hit better and faster with my irons out to 20 yards ,now I can hit faster and further targets with my dot practice, practice practice
That would be sick!! Having a red dot built into a glock slide. You could make it where the recital is replaceable and drop in so you could still upgrade and adjust the elevation and windage but the frame of the red dot is all part of the frame for strength and durability.
Been wondering about the opposite eye dominance. Good to hear we have the same right handed left eye dominant system. Thanks for the info! Going to watch your other vid about it.
Massad Ayoob recommends against trigger modifications. Before I watched a video of him talking about it, I really coveted and wanted to get a new trigger system, "hair trigger", and all that but he said that can get you in a lot of trouble in a self defense shooting. So any gun that you're going to carry or could possibly use as self defense, probably best to stay away from that. For competition guns and all that that's fine
In most courts, they probably won't know what they're looking at anyway. If they do, it's on you to be able to articulate why each modification was made.
The thing I would change first on a handgun are the sights. FO/ tritium combo front and blacked out rears. Smoothing out the trigger or replacing the trigger would be the second. Red dot +/- a WML to complete a package. That’s it. Messing with springs, lightening slide, frame cuts etc. are kinda pointless.
I remember my time in law enforcement I started out with the Glock 17 in 2000 and then went to the Sig P226. The Sig was a Boat anchor so then I switched back over to Glock. lol 😂
I”t all comes down to trigger management if you suck you suck” Love it.🙌
Brandon Herrera is still down to ref the Garand Thumb fight. Just saying.

It's true to a degree though. I know people who can't hit shit and then there are people like me who have always had good aim...it's weird but the way your brain translates stuff to your body has to play a part.

As a visually impaired shooter the RMR awesome. I’m only 23 and my vision already sucks, luckily there is a fix.
What does the rmr do differently?

LUCAS JUST USED A BULLET TO TAKE OFF HIS LIGHT. Also hearing that youre gonna finally get some m&p 2.0s makes me so happy. Finally i get to hear your opinion on it
A lot of guns and accessories are designed that way
As far as a gen 4/5 glock, I highly recommend the TangoDown mag release, and the Glock EO extended slide release (its technically a Glock 34/35 release.)
Strangely enough Glock makes the best slide stop for a gun that isnt a competition piece.
Tango down controls are great
100% I have the that exact setup with the TD extended mag release and OEM extended slide lever for my G19 gen 4,.. best combo IMO!
I finally found out how to become a good shooter. I have to drink Reign, then my attributes will increase
Can confirm. Make sure you squeeze the hell out of your hat’s bill, too.
BANG is better for accuracy
I mean, your blood pressure will definitely increase, as evidenced by poor Lucas' blood vessels lol
😅😂
nah man you gotta respec all your points in reload speed and accuracy you don't need charisma
M&P 2.0s are pretty awesome. I have had a few over the years and i prefer them over Glocks in all honesty, grip angle is better, (for me) trigger is FAR better,(for everyone..) reliability is the same, they are pretty damn squared away.
But I run a Shadow Systems MR920 with a dot now. And I'm so happy with it
I have apex triggers in my glock and m&p and while its an improvement in the Glock its a requirement in the m&p imo
@@slappomatthewI might agree on a 1st gen M&P, haven't shot one in forever but i remember the triggers not being great.
But the 2.0 triggers are outstanding especially compared to a Glock.
Triggers are one of those things, if you like it then do it. Long as It's reliable then it's whatever. I typically just keep them stock on pistols, but my M4s I upgrade to Geissele triggers on all of them.
It looks like Lucas is going to burst a blood vessel when Steve talks slower than him. 😂. And for the record, that’s not mean, I sound exactly like Steve.
That's what happens when you drink liquid crack religiously.

You can clean the carbon from the glass with the eraser from a number 2(#2) pencil.
I just use eyeglass cleaning disposable wipes that you get in a box of 50 at Walmart. I can clean my eyeglasses and the sight lens at the same time.

Top 5 upgrades for new/most shooters in no specific order
1. New iron sights
2. Light
3. Red Dot
4. Ammo
5. Training
It’s funny, I want to say that’s wrong… But it’s the exact order I did it in so🤷🏼♂️
As a Military veteran trained in expert marksmenship , using iron sights as a beginner in shooting & mechanics is the best advice that I’ve heard so far. Because practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes expertise perfect practice. 11:51
First Glock l ever shot was G17 gen1 in 1988 and l was hooked for life. Great video.
I just got the TLR7A for my gen 5 19. Its like the tlr7a was made for my gen5 19. Great stuff.
Hey Lucas and Steve, thank you for making this vid for nubies like me. That be nice if you could put links under the video to all your preferred Glock 19 upgrades you were talking about. Thanks again.
man's gotta go to the website and look at the "pistol upgrades"
I would love it if y’all published these as a podcast. I often don’t have time to sit and watch the whole thing but I have a long commute I could listen to it on.

@40min, I own the 3 pistols your discussing Gen 3 Glock 17, M&P 2.0, and a CZ P10C. Out of the box, the CZ takes the cake for the trigger and ergonomics. All 3 are great pistols, all in all you can't go wrong with the Glock or the M&P.
Heyo Lucas. Let's have a sleepover and play COD.
Chill, perv
That's not creepy...
Wtf

Yikes the homophobic commenters need to chill.
My wifes boyfriend asked me for some advice, whats the worst most expensive pistol out there?
Salient arm Glock 17. Tell him to use apendix holster very recommended and then pray so he couldn't do god know what with your wife
Bcuz he accidentally kill his ding dong
@@danendraarkananta9442 hopefully he doesnt spend my money on it thanks!
Colt single action army, costs a lot and is a bad gun to carry.
@@kennethdavidson6508 yeah her boyfriend is their son .
Just made the switch to a red dot on a pistol, I will not go back. Speed and accuracy at distance are increased by a lot for me, my eyes are crap with irons on both pistols and rifles. The only downside is cost.
The rechargeable Olight Mini at 90 bucks will beat any light you have mentioned so far plus if you should ever need to use the light by hand it has a quick detach and it don't stick way the hell out in front of the barrel...
And it will blow up like a grenade too.
Rofl fuck Olight, cheap garbage.
Spend $30 more and get a Streamlight, and be able to actually trust your light with your life.
and nothing blew up in fact all he had was praise for the Olight matched the Streamlight at 1/3 the cost!
I believe you would really like the M&P 2.0 compact. I have 2 of them. 1 is over 6k in rounds and the other just under 2k. They run well and you can find then for around $400 or less.
Man am I glad I snagged my Glock threaded OEM barrel ages ago :o.
Also weird to have been running the left hand thread-pitch this whole time and just NOW realize that it has benefits.
I mean no disrespect when I say this but I truly respect the man to the right for clearing a new introduced handgun if not for himself or the camera man at least gives positive reinforcement to the public to always clear your gear
Hi! Im Brazilian and would like to say to congrats your videos and your job. Are the most professionals in RUclips. Tks!
I feel like there's a huge exception when it comes to buying skill and that's red dots.... Shot irons for around 4 years and got good enough to feel satisfied with myself..... Almost a year ago I decided to purchase a Walther 4.5 " PDP to actually try out red dots on my own instead of trying others at the range here and there. Literally in just 1 days time the skill wall I was stationary at was completely broken and it was like I finally seen the light! It was like I was using cheat codes in real life and was actually a breath of fresh air that gave me the motivation to practice more and more and start attending training.
Nice. Thanks for the info.
The Steyr M9a2 is awesome to shot if u get used to the trapeziod sights.
Very high grip and the slide is kinda flat, so you even notice the recoil less / can manage it even better.
My brother is owning one, i got myself a glock 17 gen4+. We are both from austria so we have to go with austrian pistols for your first ones. =P
I would like to always keep irons on my handgun, glass and break, even 10 years from now, irons still don't take up too much space at all on a handgun and I would prefer not to have built-in red dots on a handgun, my 2 cents.
I dont see the overwhelming advantage of red dots. Irons all the way!
@@damageace Irons on pistols should always be a thing
I love that these are all an hour plus, watching Lucas' behavior shift as he consumes more Reign is quality entertainment.
Got any thoughts on Target brand (Goodfella's) skinny jeans? I find they are great for concealed carry because the slight amount of stretch they have.
He’s so anxious that it’s hard to watch
dude stop wearing skinny pants. You're making us all look bad.
I haven't worn skinny jeans since 2009
You could Steve become much more comfortable halfway through which is great to see. All in all great Q&A. All this knowledge given I think I’m going with an XD lmao ;)
When you buy a pistol, look for one that is red dot ready so you don't have to pay to get it milled later.
Wrong
@@Danefrak how
@@squidy4082 milling is better you get a lower red dot. Easier to cowitness without your sights being miles above the bore
@@Danefrak I agree but it’s not that noticeable , milling takes a lot of money and time also
Wrong.
It is always better to have a pocket milled for the particular optic vs using an MOS type option.
Red dot for older students. I attended a P.O.S.T. instructor course earlier this year where I was the oldest student, at about the same age as the head instructor. The small department where I work the lead instructor has been an “iron sights” only guy. I’m an above average shooter with good basic fundamentals and I performed well enough during qualifications to become selected as an apprentice instructor. While in the instructor course, it became apparent my eyes are getting worse as I no longer have clear front sight focus as all my sights and the target are a slight blur, even with prescription glasses. The head instructor of the school recommended a red dot due to my aging eyes. My lead instructor was attending the same course, as a refresher, and the head instructor of the class finally convinced my lead instructor older officers may need to transition to a red dot. My long winded way of saying transitioning to red dot may be out of necessity for older people, but you must continue to practice good basic fundamentals. Thanks for the video!
This was a great video. Bummed I missed it live. I’d enjoy a pistol red dot comparison
Please build the M&P 2.0 or Shields that would be huge!
I disagree with Tritium. What I have noticed is when doing night shooting, if I use tritium sights with a weapon light, once I cut the light off, I can pick up my sights almost immediately after where it takes a good bit longer to pick up regular sights once I cut the white light off. It is a more limited use however I still prefer to pick my sights back up right away.
How to shoot a handgun in 10 mins is a great video :) gave me some good tips thanks.
I bought a glock 23 gen 5. I put 50 tritium sights on it, and a talon grip. The gun is now good to go. The thing about pistol flashlight is it gives your assailant a place to shoot at. Where as if i hand hold a light i will hold it out and away from my and my body and head. This is prolly oldschool technique that my grandfather taught me. You do this because if theres a light on your pistol it provides a good target to shoot at if youre a bad guy. However I see the benefits of not having to hold the pistol one handed and shine a light and do 2 things at once. Ive been thinking of a compact light and laser on my pistol.
This is a very good point. In most circumstances, you will have enough ambient light that you should be able to see well enough.
I could see this being a valid technique back when flashlights were not much brighter than a candle
You don't need a laser. Modern high-candela pistol lights are so bright that the bad guy will hardly be able to look at them, much less aim at them.
Skip the laser, get an X300 Turbo
Speaking of FMJ and barriers: I was a final year dental student at the largest dental school in Africa (UWC in Cape Town, RSA) assisting a maxillo-facial surgeon registrar with a 14 y.o. male patient who got shot in the shoulder and jaw. He was referred to us from the hospital next door. Judging by the shitty hand tattoos he's probably in a Cape flats street gang. His story was that he was riding in a mini bus taxi with his friends to somewhere when a rival gang member shot at them. Probably a Norinco Type 54 model 213, they're very common here. The 9mm FMJ rounds went through the corner frame of the windshield of the mini bus and struck him in the shoulder/high chest area and in the jaw. Both bullets were intact without much deformation. The chest shot went through completely. The entry hole and exit holes looked pretty discreet. The one that struck his jaw was perfectly parallel to the inferior alveolar nerve canal on the left hand side of his mandible, resting just below the root apices of his teeth, stuck tightly in the alveolar bone (probably acted like a sponge/force absorber). We accessed the bullet by making an incision in the buccal sulcus and exposed the underlying bone, after which we rotated the bullet out using a Warwick James elevator, sutured him up and wired his maxilla and mandible together with the IMF technique. The force of the bullet, after passing through a vehicle frame, was adequate enough to fracture the angle of his mandible as the bone absorbed its force.
Fascinating write-up. Thanks!
Vary cool story, but now I am never going to get that out of my head when I go to the dentist
Cool story bro.
My duty weapon: G19 with an APEX trigger which is not that special other than having a more robust trigger safety tang. Trigger pull is still 6lbs.
Brownells slide with Holosun HS507C circle dot. PERFECT fit. Blacked out suppressor height sights.
Viridian Green laser and 100 lumen light module...optional strobe function. Not a cheap item at $350. Have had it for years. Robust.
Lone Wolf Alpha Wolf fluted, nitrided barrel. Love it.
Also: Safariland ALS drop leg holster modded to fit the HS507C
My mod that actually helps me shoot better is the green laser because at my age shooting really WELL with irons is really hard. Astigmatism and 2.75 reading power.
Just getting used to the red dot which is designed as my back up sight. Viridian laser is my Primary.
I need to lighten the trigger to 4.5 to 5 llbs.
Hot tip: BED your RDS with Tef Gel. BUY and install SS screws to mount your RDS on Amazon. The black oxide coated mild steel screws will rust from rain and sweat in a couple months. Use PURPLE low strength Loctite with the Gen 1 HS507C. You need to be able to remove your RDS with OUT a heat gun. Blue Loctite is only OK for Gen 2 HS507C which has the battery in a tray.
First thing I upgraded on my Glock 45 was the sights. Threw some ameriglo hackathorns on there. That’s what I recommend for most people. (I got tritium night sights bc I couldn’t afford a wml yet.)
Dang at first I thought that was Josh Duhamel from the transformers movie. Until Lucas called him Steve! 😂

From my experience. With my glock 45 build, i put in a timney trigger, stainless steel rival arms guide rod and meprolight adjustable night sights. All those upgrades really did help with accuracy (still had to practice though) but the cross armory mag catch and slide stop help with functionality. Shooting idpa, all those parts were an advantage over the oem parts.
Thanks for making this video! Very great information. You guys are awesome!
Lucas- first off- youre the most attractive person thats ever existed. ALSO i could listen to you guys for hours - ive learned so much from this! its funny because earlier today i asked my cousin why he was buying a second magazine and you coincidentally answered with the 2 incidents where your shit flew everywhere from malfunctions. thanks for this:)
So I usually side with T-REX on most things in general but for me the order of OP's should be #1.reliable pistol #2.get 50-100rds of ball run thru it all then 25-50rds of hollows&repeat #3 get. As many GOOD MAGS that you can afford 🚫ETS BS😅 #4. Good nite/day hard sights #5. Ad grip texture/slight under cut/radius the magwell mouth...bonus pts #6. Replace all controls with better pieces from simple vickers/zev/strike industries all the way to full on titanium race parts lol
I didn't realize how bad my grip was until I put a red dot on my pistol and couldn't find the damn dot without spinning the gun around fishing for the dot. I quickly discovered that my grip sucked. Since working on my grip finding the dot became easier and consistent along with my accuracy.
Training with a milled optic gun will get you better at overall shooting faster than training with just irons. So many guys have trouble finding the dot when coming from irons. That just means they suck and can’t actually aim. Irons are blocky, slow, and not as accurate. It takes more time to decipher a decent sight picture than a red dot. When dry firing, someone with a red dot can get ample more reps in in the same amount of time because of the instant verification of the red dot over doing guesstimated eyeball measurements to ensure the front sight post is perfectly aligned right between the rear sight posts. Simply put you get faster and more accurate yourself because the dot is more simplistic and forces you to be more accurate.
I spent a lot of time dryfiring irons and making sure I had a perfect sight picture, once I started shooting red dots I had no problem finding the red dot and shooting with it. in my opinion if you have a good sight picture with irons then you can be equally as fast if not better with a red dot.
I know this , If I wanted to go learn how to shoot and manipulate my weapons is if they were body parts i was born with , Lucas Botkin is the dude.
Never take for granted the fact that you can work with your brothers and cool, like minded individuals. I'm an only child and I work in healthcare.... I slide into work on liberal tears.
No guys... trust me. Buy one of those $30 pistol lights. you'll outshoot whichever monster you encounter in a dark restaurant. Believe me
Tritium night sights with fiber optics are definitely very easy to see with a light on. I night shoot all the time, and if anything the weapon light amplifies the glow because of the open ports for the fiber optics. They end up capturing light from your flashlight and it’s a very nice combo. So if you want night sights, get tritium fiber optic combo! They’re great! Half life is also rated 12 years, not five.
Fiber optics always break
I love fiber optics so so much. When it comes to the iron sight platform as a whole they are vastly superior to anything out..... But there's one thing DRASTICALLY holding them back and that's durability. I've wanted to transition fibers into my edc and defensive use firearms but sadly I've yet to come across "duty" worthy fiber optics. Fiber optics have a home only on the range toys sadly.
Glock 25 is a .380acp double stack exact same size as a g19. Here in Brazil we have g28 that is a .380acp g26. This is because untill 2019 civilians couldn't buy 9mm, .40sw, .45acp etc. The most "potent" handgun caliber civilians could by was .38spl and .380acp. 2019 the president Bolsonaro change the laws and civilians can by 9mm, .45acp, .357mag/sig, 10mm, etc. .44mag and bigger energy calibers are still prohibed for civilians. Same for 5,56mm and other rifle calibers.
Great info, thank you!
I became a good shooter when I was a teenager, I had a lot of trigger time. Now I got Excellent Muzzle Control, because the last thing you need is an Accidental Discharge 😁👍🏻
My 50 yr old eyes appreciate a red dot. Right around 40 yrs old, I noticed it was more difficult to focus on my front sight. Also I feel like I can be more aware of the threat looking through a red dot, than I can staring at front sight.
IMHO, the most important gun accessories one can have are a range pass and ammo to practice with. Without trigger time it doesn't matter what you put on/in your gun.
Lol a range pass.
Would suck to not have infinite great places to just go shoot,close to home.
I love where I live lol
I liked the face of the guy to the right, when he checked a pistol that was on the table...and he saw live ammo in the mag...

I'm glad you're talking about this topic. I went cheap on optics, lights and other things and my biggest problem was destroying them on my AK. I stepped up the quality of my attachments and have had no failures. I run Stream Lights on all my AR's, AK's and pistols. The lights are Streamlight TLR-1 HL. Slings for all my rifles are Blue Force Gear 3 point. all my AR mags are PMags to no surprise. Magpul grips for the rifles and Locar for my pistols. For grips are ITach. I hate pressure pads! thay could get caught up in something then my light fails! I hope this comment helps other shooters. We are all in this together. If SHTF happens I need to know you have the right gear to cover my six!! I know I do! Do you?
I’m 42. Accepted the red dots on pistols with open arms lol. I’m military, so I’ll still have to train and qualify on the M18 with irons as well as sustainment training since I’m a firearms instructor, so I have no choice to stay proficient with them which is a good thing. On my personal firearms I have a RMR and a Delta Point Pro. I do a lot of drawing and dry fire practice at home with the red dots though to stay proficient with them as well, it took some practice at first to immediately pick up the dot, but second nature with enough practice.
Running a canik tp9sfx with a flashlight and Taurus G2c stock as edc. Pretty decent cause i haven't had a malfunction in either of them yet..
Lol, sell them both, buy Glock or Mp. Now you have a real piece of mind.
@@JR-wo3sn i did. 🤣
this video's making me want to go to my bag to get my Reign
I just bought one of your holsters right before watching this video, and now I feel like I need a different holster because I clearly need a light and one with a magholder rather than your basic one lmao
Get in touch with customer service, might be able to cancel the order or get something worked out, good guys over there. I have a light compat and a non light compat, I like it for the option but I never go without the light..
@@RBRfilmproductions already shipped oof they're fast! maybe I'll see about returning it or just keeping it for now and buying the sidecar/light holster later.
I still don’t see a need for a light on my edc pistol. A light is used to identify your target, but you don’t draw your concealed handgun unless you’re ready to shoot it which means you’ve already identified the threat.
Unless it’s your job to clear rooms in the dark like law enforcement I don’t see the need. If it’s a SHTF scenario then you would likely have your rifle out.
If the only gun you have is the handgun and it’s your go to in the middle of the night by the bed then yes get a light.
I use aftermarket irons on my Shield Plus that are made specifically to lower 1/3 co-witness with my swampfox sentinel.
Rewatching this randomly and I gotta say night sights are great for seeing the gun on the nightstand but that's about all I can think of
I have night sights on all the handguns I actually use.
I can see them when its dark without my light on (stressing light discipline), with my light on they suddenly look normal ;)
@@thesmallestminorityisthein4045 my dot draws my attention but they are still there vaguely
@@joeyhooper3 ahh, well with a dot yeah night sights are a waste. I dont run a dot, so I have a different experience.
@@thesmallestminorityisthein4045 I bought night sights for the gun before it showed up. Then got the RMR. And just a few months ago finally got the x300u. So I'm pretty set. Been eyeing the tlr7a though for cc. The x300 is a wee bit big.
@@joeyhooper3 I have two TLR7As, I love em. Obviously one benefit to a bigger light is contact shooting. If the light is longer than the muzzle, then the pistol wont have a chance of being pushed out of battery after pressing up to something [read: someone]
I chose the 7A strictly because I wanted one type of light for all my pistols, and my G43(poly80 frame) is too small for any other light.
Military for shooting and tactics, I want REAL life shooting instruction. If I want a competition style shot, obviously I’d come to you guys at T-Rex Arms.
Tactics are tactics, efficiency is efficiency, cover/concealment are cover/concealment, and angles are angles...
Plenty of good instructors who have never been in the military.
I've done a lot of classes with various ex Mil\LE members, but I'd 100% take instruction from Lucas any day
One thing not brought up for red dots is sometimes irons are easier/better for people with astigmatism. I left the red dot behind awhile ago because with everyone I've tried it see three washed out dots(with every illumination level).
I think I also have astigmatism but glasses help alot
I think for ar 15 running tactics like room clearing it would be a person with combat experience.
I run a tlr-7 on my gen4 glock 19 mos with a trijicon type 2 hrs socom rmr. I have that in a tier 1 concealed axis slim holster. I absolutely love this holster but am looking to try the trex arms and the last line of Defense holsters also just to have options. I’m going to be sending my Glock 45 to Jagerwerks to get a Holosun 508t milled pocket to test that optic out. I’m bought an extra glock 45 mos slide to throw another rmr on so I can switch between the holosun and rmr. A sure fire x300 will be going on the glock 45 as well and that will be going in a trex arms sidecar
I run a TLR7-A on my Shadow Systems MR920 Elite. It is a great light, and great output for only a single cell
One of the things about carrying smaller like the p365 instead of a glock is that you still have to be able to conceal it. If you're 5'5 and 120lb you can't conceal a glock very easily
This kid had convinced In his strong opinions but I can tell he had learned a lot for experience but u can’t discredit something with out a good reason, u do not have to spend $300 on a flashlight for your gun a O-light will get the job done perfectly, now if you have daddy’s money sure put surefire on everything u run!!!
Lol. I love the slow taker vs fast talker.
4:30 I expected you to say p10 but you actually dismissed it. What did you not like about it? Personally I am much more accurate & faster with it.
The Steyr does have an aggressive grip angle and Triangle sights. But man do they shoot nice/flat. The sights are awesome once you get used to them. Do yourself a favor and try one.
Ameriglo Hackathorn sights. Blackout rear with narrow fronts for me made a huge difference in target shooting.
Hello Coach Lucas , i have a question about some pistol Technics .
First of all thanks for your education and demonstration in each videos.
I have been following it for a while and using those useful tips as well.
Recently i have a question about " Turn around " .
Which is mean i stand still pull out the pistol and shoot the target right in front of me , and then next shot ( next target ) is right behind me ,So i have to turn like 180 degree to shoot the target right behind me in the most efficient way.( It' simulate a real situation like i have an enemy in-front of me , i deal with it already , but i heard one appears right behind me , i have to turn around ASAP to deal with it ).
Could you teach us how to do one shot to the front target and turn 180 degree around to shoot the Target , which were right behind , with pistol in the most efficient way ?
GBB IPSC beginner player from Taiwan.
God bless you , and you guys in USA during this pandemic time .
Thanks for the constant warm support from US.
I have a P365 and love it. my only issue is, being a left handed shooter with dex issues on my right side, releasing the slide; whether it's releasing by the slide release (harder to manipulate) or slinging the slide (hard to do with dex issues).
Streamlights are usually a better value for dollar than Surefires. Streamlight has more low end options Surefire and their high end options are less expensive than equivalent Surefire and of equal quality.
true but I prefer the surefire switch setup over the streamlight switch setup
Ryan G , not equal quality, but Streamlights are definitely good.
Good video, I have one handgun with a dot and it took me about 500 rounds maybe a bit more to get comfortable with it . I was so frustrated! Lol I could hit better and faster with my irons out to 20 yards ,now I can hit faster and further targets with my dot practice, practice practice
That would be sick!! Having a red dot built into a glock slide. You could make it where the recital is replaceable and drop in so you could still upgrade and adjust the elevation and windage but the frame of the red dot is all part of the frame for strength and durability.
Been wondering about the opposite eye dominance. Good to hear we have the same right handed left eye dominant system. Thanks for the info! Going to watch your other vid about it.
Opposite over here
Next thing you know Lucas will try to tell us that getting new shoes didn't make us faster in grade school. Hog wash
Massad Ayoob recommends against trigger modifications. Before I watched a video of him talking about it, I really coveted and wanted to get a new trigger system, "hair trigger", and all that but he said that can get you in a lot of trouble in a self defense shooting. So any gun that you're going to carry or could possibly use as self defense, probably best to stay away from that. For competition guns and all that that's fine
He does indeed, and with his experience as a professional witness I am 100% happy to take his guidance on the matter.
In most courts, they probably won't know what they're looking at anyway. If they do, it's on you to be able to articulate why each modification was made.
The thing I would change first on a handgun are the sights. FO/ tritium combo front and blacked out rears. Smoothing out the trigger or replacing the trigger would be the second. Red dot +/- a WML to complete a package. That’s it.
Messing with springs, lightening slide, frame cuts etc. are kinda pointless.
The light should come first, before anything else. Besides a holster of course.
My 3 main upgrades for any pistol if I do upgrade are grip, gun lights, and night sights/red dot
Noob
Thanks for the joke on the package my brlt came in. 😁 yall are awesome.
Have you guys considered doing a video on the difference of rear sights being placed in front of the optic vs behind for a carry gun?
I remember my time in law enforcement I started out with the Glock 17 in 2000 and then went to the Sig P226. The Sig was a Boat anchor so then I switched back over to Glock. lol 😂
Magic Eraser might takes that buildup off your SRO. It works great on mounted lights with buildup.
