This comment had me laughing harder than any I've seen haha. I was thinking the same shit. Like yeah I get paid to be here and ill do it whatever. But I just wanted to come here for the first day shoot.
Damn, I know Hop has industry fatigue but I feel like it's pretty crummy that this guy is all proud and excited to show off their new product and Hop does everything short of yawn and cartoonishly pat his mouth. couldn't even feign some interest for the pre-production gun? come on man.
Hop flipped his hat around since the last video. Now Hop looks the guy selling drugs to undercover cop Hop in a 90s Segal flick. It’s getting spicy boys.
I’ve always kinda been ehhh about Strike Industries stuff, but I do love how they’re always innovating. I really like that rifle they’re building. That’s sick. The folding stock that folds to both sides is a great idea.
@@jayzenitram9621 for the ambi-folding stock? I have a BRN180s 10.5” with a 1913 SB Tactical folding brace, and I hated it folding to the left side. One because I just don’t like them folding that side, but also because it would lock. So I removed the arm and brace part, turned the system upside down, and reinstalled the arm and brace, and now it folds to the right, but instead of having to push the Mount and arm mating part up to unlock it and fold it back up, I now have to push it down to do that, and it’s pretty unnatural and somewhat inconvenient. But I don’t see a situation that calls for me to fold the rifle quickly. So it’s ok. But if I had the option to have a brace that folding both ways, I definitely would’ve done it. So for certain side charging rifles/pistols, I can definitely see it being valuable. Especially cuz you don’t want the brace folding into the charging handle/ejection port area and not being able to fire the system when it’s folded.
@@DRich17 Eh, I've built several guns using their kits and others, and had I actually came here to say I like Strike Industries, but they have made a lot of garbage too. Their LPKs have worthless trash for detents, which basically offsets all the good of their bolt catch. Their ar15 grips have been some of the worst I've ever seen and handled or put on someone's gun for them. Still innovative as hell, just massive garbage every 5th swing.
Strike is what happens when guys who just like guns and being different start a company and say "well lets try that and see" a whole lot of times. and that refreshing. The dude talking about how he never owned a 22 and now shoots squirrels and made a 10/22 chassis mostly because he wants to have more fun at home and can make $ on it ... THAT is awesome. I'll be buying more strike stuff
Some of the accessories are goofy but that upper seems really interesting, kinda an ACR with AR parts. Also idk if he’s a sales rep or engineer but he actually seems like he knows what he’s talking about.
You know, Strike was one of the first companies I gravitated towards after I bought my first AR-15. Now, a lot of their stuff seems blingy and cringe to me, but they still have a lot of great products, and I love how they try to be creative and innovative and not just do the same thing everyone else is doing. They're the reason I started customizing my first AR, which led to building them, and led me to the point I'm at now. Soft spot for Strike. Those mad lads really try to bring something different to the community and I appreciate someone marching to their own drum.
@@thedude5449 for sure. That was the reason I was on their site months after I bought my first AR, lol. Most of their stuff I don't care for these days. But those mad lads will try anything and I respect the fuck out of it.
LOL It seems like that's how most of us start, my first AR had all the ano red dust cover, takedown/pivot pins, forward assist, mag release etc, all from strike, now I cringe at it, just love my black or radian brown with as much FDE/Coyote bling as possible now.
@@abel4776 Neither, I have parts that I like, Radian selectors/charging handles, Geissele triggers. I like that burnt brown or cyote brown. Don't go for the ano stuff these days.
The fact Strike Industries acknowledges the goofy, tacticool, cringe stuff they make, is absolutely hilarious. They know their customer base. On a side note, some of their products look legitimately good, like the folding stock adapter
Where's my boi James at I wanna see someone talk to the manufacturers that dosent look like they want to swallow a bottle of pain pills in a motel bathroom
Hop not looking too excited with just being there this year. I wonder if James told him he had to go or else lol. Honestly I hear this years show was worse than expected seeing how many vendors pulled out that shot show didn't tell people about and even had them on the directory. To stay alive they'll have to open it up to the public at this rate.
I've been a SI fan for a long time. They make quality accessories. I recently ordered one of their Mod 1 CQB stocks and it's excellent but it does not come with the rubber butt pad. I had to order that separately for some reason
That chassis looks legit. May rethink my stance on the concept. If nothing else, just for shits and gigs. And that quick barrel change AR upper is badass
You could just get an AR in 9mm. Much better form function and more practical for anything you'll realistically use it for. You know, except for those SheepDawg fantasies where you hide this braced handgun from your bag during a ninja assault on a mall, and you whip it out while you get ready to John McClane the bad guys.
Hop out here looking like he’s been substantially affected by these supply chain fuck ups; his big and tall store is all out of tall, it’s just big now. He looks like Nosferatu lmao
My thoughts on this presentation: 1. The SIAR looks pretty sweet. It's cool that the gun world is coming up with multiple products to compete with the SIG MCX. First the BRN-180, and now this. 2. The T-Bone charging handle is a neat concept, but I'm not a fan of having a polymer "latch" that doesn't lock. Hit me with a true ambidextrous latched charging handle like the Radian, and then we're in business. 3. Not necessary a thought about what was in the presentation, but rather what was left out: SUPPRESSORS! No update on that is what makes me a saaaaaad panda.
Strike has some flops, but they also have a winner every now and then too. I wish them the best. Anyone innovating inside the 2a community has my praise
This guy looks as exited as me doing a church coir interview... come on is Strike Industries... show some enthusiast!!! but the "billion child soldier can't be wrong" was the only thing saving this interview
This Hop guy, he's a brother or son of someone high up at TFB right? I only ask because it seems he didn't get his job based on ability to do an interview ;)
Strike industries doesnt get as much love as they should. A rifle that has a quick change barrel system with ANY standard AR barrel?! Thats f’in amazing!! People would have gone insane if “mUh sIg SaUeR” made it.
I think the 320 chassis could really be cool for a pdw type thing. Under the jacket sorta thing. Have a brace, red dot, and suppressor in a equally or lower priced package that's smaller than most pccs
When I was younger I made a potato gun with a changeable barrel system. I had a barrel that was the perfect size for golf balls. It would shoot a golf ball out to where I couldn't even see it anymore.
I *REALLY* hope that Rampage chassis is going to be available as a grip module only, no brace or anything. Looks cool as hell, but I still want to be able to CCW it.
I was a fan of strike industries until i bought some +5 mag plates for a g3. In all fairness i don't have a g3 and bought them for the g2c but either way they didn't function right. Took them off and the g3 17rd mags function flawlessly in the g2c

I love that Strike Industries just makes whatever weird and goofy shit they feel like
I'm digging that pistol brace, seems like no one wants to talk about them at SS... I heard that the AFT Chairman is there at the show
Like Keltec, but for compulsive tinkerers.
im liking that SI piston AR
It‘s just nice to see some self awareness for a change.
they're the US version of Fab Defense lol
Hop buddy you look God damn thrilled to be at the strike industries booth
hahaahahahaa You win the internet. Spot. on.

I think it's hard to look excited with half of your eyebrows missing.
I never saw Hop so enthusiastic as when he realized he could give the outro
Hop’s favorite part of shot show? Packing his bag to go home
Hop flipped his hat around since the last video. Now Hop looks the guy selling drugs to undercover cop Hop in a 90s Segal flick. It’s getting spicy boys.
Someone get the TF420 gents on the horn
Uncover Hop 2: No fucks left to give

Man you beat me to it. His face says it all. Just no fucks to give.

Hop not giving a fuck is the only reason I'm watching any shit show coverage. Props to strike industries for going out of the box
Poor guy… Hop is so unimpressed and unenthused. But being very patient 😂

Seems like these guys were actually working the last 2 years unlike most manufacturers. Comin’ out guns blazin’, dang!
"A billion child soldiers can't be wrong" 😂😂😂
I'm dead
I had to rewind for a second, "did he really just say that?" - the Spike Rep had the exact same reaction.
No one more deadpan than Hop.
I love it how Hop gives no shiz about what this salesman is even talking about.
He doesn't care about anything. Other than the night vision. He cares for that
That was almost painful to watch, poor salesguy
It's strike Industries, not Taurus.
To be fair Hop does seem to be actually impressed by Strike Industries stuff when he does the reviews and is surprised how well the stuff works
Can't wait for Hop to do a video on the Strike Industries brave chassis and then tell us about how his disappointment.
half the video he isn't really even looking at the product. you know he's formulating the insults in his head already...
Hop looks real excited in the strike booth 🧐🤣
PSA, Strike, and Holosun are killing it
Yea I've always heard they were trash tier but nah, they the only one selling affordable mag extensions!
@@boygonewhoopdataZZ trash tier: anything that isn't uncharged 200 percent because they have a military contract or some shit
Hop’s dry skeptical sense of humor is gold
Hop shows about the same amount of emotion as the camera man.

I always wondered what happened to Edward Furlong after Terminator 2.
I'm interested in the P320 chassis and the ambi folding stock!
Lol yeah that's about the gist of it for me, too 💯
Me too. I have been wanting a Micro Roni chassis but don't want to give my money to a company with ties to Isreal
I wonder if it’ll be interchangeable with my p250??

Well he said "nice" and was nodding his head to some products. That's a lot more than in other videos. So I I'm thinking he liked what he saw.
I thought he was pretty engaged, for Hop.
You find him in the dictionary if you look up "impassive." ;)
Notice that.
Hope’s dad made her go
Open to the public would be a clown show. Too much stupid in one place at one time.
Hop looks like he is about to laugh at any moment lol
I noticed Hop nod a few times. It's the subtleties that matter. You gotta read between the lines with Hop.
8:23 RIP that dude's thumbs resting over the compensator
I was thinking the same thing. He won't do that more than once!
3:10 your lack of reaction is hilarious .
Looks cool, but you can tell hopp is just thinking about how he destroyed in a video their new optic. did he lose a bet to do their booth?
I've been a SI fan for a long time. They make quality accessories. I recently ordered one of their Mod 1 CQB stocks and it's excellent but it does not come with the rubber butt pad. I had to order that separately for some reason
Hop is the grumpy cat meme of Shot show. 😾
I love the look of that doublesided folder, actually their design of all of their things are mostly looking awesome.

I’m the words of the great Brandon … “cmon man…” Hop snap out of it.
Yo dudes so smart. He don't give a date knowing it might not be met. Smart as hell!
I like this guy, this is strike industries so we have to get weird with it.
I like how Hop seems completely unimpressed
Hop should stick to just making individual content that he likes. Having him interview people is not something he shines at
Its MA’AM
Either Hop is hungover, stoned, or doesn’t give a shit….worst interview I’ve ever seen. Feel bad for strike, they didn’t get a fair shake.
I can imagine all the reps that Hop interviews just get awkward as fuck. Lol
James: you’ve got the strike booth this year.
