When I noticed ammo supplies drying up in my area I got a laser cartridge. It's allowed me to train every day without taking out a title loan just to afford the crap reloads people were selling at flea markets. I still have about 400 rounds of range ammo and 500+ rounds of defensive hp's that I bought in March of 2020. Im still waiting for Federal to get its shit together but they seem to be more focused on making 30SC happen.
Dryfiring with laser cartridges is probably counter productive unless you're specifically training to do slowfire bullseye shooting. Practically speaking, the most productive form of dryfire is with USPSA-style practical shooting dryfire drills imo.
@@BlackHawk2029 learn to call your shots and you'll find that your sights are just as good. This is particularly true with red dots. Laser cartridges are great for practicing the fundamentals of taking a singular shot. They are not great for practicing shooting. Dryfiring multishot drills is far more productive.
@@jackwicker paired with an app that picks up the dot and acts as a timer, they allow you to do draw-to-first-shot drills on the clock. I get calling shots and watching sights, but that doesn't provide you with data that can be tracked in order to track progress.
As a general rule if YT personality shleps Olights on any major holiday, I am highly skeptical of that person’s content. I think Paul Harrell is another guy who is out of F’s to give about silly things and does honest reviews, mostly about ballistics and comparisons vs straight up gun reviews.
Yeah, the standard product placements are a very bad sign. Channel sponsors that have nothing to do with the review are one thing. But an actual paid review is bad for the industry.
I'm 16, so I completely have no experience with firearms pretty much at all, though, basically being obsessed with guntube for the last four years, so hearing most handguns malfunction consistently about every 1k rounds is something I never hear. Recently, I've been most interested in budget EDC, regardless of legally not being able to carry a gun, but theoretically, for future's sake, I keep landing on the LCR 22 for potential carry. Two of my favorite guntubers, Demonstrated Concepts LLC and AmbGun, has convinced me .22lr is adequate for typical self defense, not stay and fight the criminal mumbojumbo, more like, self-priority/get-out-of-there tool. What I'm really trying to get at; is to ask: if you think with reliable ammunition and a well tested revolver (LCR 22), proving proper function, assuming I don't short stroke the trigger, there should be minimal malfunctions? Something else you think will work "better?" I feel a need to apologize for such a long comment, but I'm sure it's not a big deal. Thank you
Malfunctions will be minimal, outside of the usual rimfire ammo failures. I see roughly one dud every 350-500 rounds. That's just the way it goes. High-quality defensive ammo will likely be better, but it'll still happen. However, you won't be clearing a malfunction; you just pull the trigger again and the next round will fire.
Great video! If everyone was honest they’d buy a Walther or recommend Gen 3 Glocks. The Honest Outlaw is a great reviewer who I like, he a actually shoots a lot. He is honest on dumpster fires.
@@thegunpenguin nobody rocks the Cheetah bathrobe like you though. 😃 When I first started watching your reviews I only had Glocks, now I have as many PPQ variants…heading to the range now only 92 in Colorado.

Revolvers are more versatile because I can add TK Custom moon clip for 45 ACP to my 460V S&W magnum X-frame revolver. And that 45 ACP also holds 460 Rowland, 45 Super, 45 Winchester magnum among others.
Scootch just reads the product features almost verbatim, and hickok just shoots and then usually says something like "yep its good" its borderline impossible to find meaningful gun information, even on reddit, the reading comprehension issue that the entire site has is 5x worse on gun subreddits lol I guess you just gotta plunk down the money and hope for the best cuz thats the only thing that i think works
Yeah, generally you'll only know when you buy the gun. Even the best review is just a discussion of that particular example in the hands of the reviewer.
If an AK has any issues than it was poorly made and/or out of spec, regardless of what manufacturer. So you have to just keep buying AKs until you get a well made one.
In the gun world Sootch is the patron saint of purchase validation.
Don't forget on-camera NDs and shooting his own truck.
It's so nice to here normal talk about guns.
For once, we seem normal.
Love the channel man👍🏼
😂😝🤣 brilliant stuff!
That's the best description of J Frame recoil I've ever heard. It's like a full body experience.
the GFG bit had me rollin'. Was a bit surprised there were no horse references, though.
Yessssss, join the triangle optic squad!
I've got that on my BRN-180 upper and I love it
I waiting to see Sootch give a Hi point "Two thumbs way up!"

I like the idea of any training aid! Dry fire practice with a laser beats no practice at all.
@@jackwicker the laser cartridge is FANTASTIC for draw-to-first-shot drills.

22lr for self defense is pretty based not gonna lie

The Cheetah Bathrobe is still around! It needs to make an appearance.

I’ve shot with my acog at 500 yards and then my friend’s Swarovski 1-6. Quite the jump in glass quality.

They are very versatile in that way! Less so in others, but that sort of ammo compatibility is very nice!
