Took my buck Tuesday with my remmington sportsman 48 semi 20 guage. Still has the weaver apiture sight on it from the day it was sold. One shot with my hand load slug. Cherry wood smoked bacon wrapped backstraps drizzled with maple syrup and fresh ground pepper was dinner tonight. Great video Mr.
@@ModernRefugeeThanks buddy. Always a good feeling to put a harvest in the pantry. I can most of the venison. I like it canned and won't have a loss from a freezer going down.
That venison dinner sounds delicious, I feel abandoned and left out that you failed to invite me to the table. I am trying to figure out if you are a racist, nazi, Russian asset, garbage, or a threat to Democracy. 😂 Way to go putting some healthy meat in your food storage! 💪
One important aspect of a mature platform is the availability of parts and parts kits to support your firearm. Many modern guns are 100% factory warranty with no availability of parts to the public.
What can I say MR.? I’m old-school I stick with what works. Do I have the newfangled stuff? Yes. I’ve been around long enough to know what works another Good video and informative. I know the young ones call me a Fudd but I’ll take it.
Of course, I agree with your analysis and have similar items. I’ve been pondering a recommendation for only one gun or a first one that may not be followed by a second for a while due to finances, etc. A youth model Remington 870 20 gauge can do it all for home defense and any hunting, at least in the Midwest or Eastern US. 18 inch barrel with interchangeable choke tubes. Short enough to maneuver through doorways held close, can be used with cylinder tube and topped with a scope for slugs. Good on deer to 125 yards. Scope off, same for buckshot or slugs for defense. Could use a red dot for both, really. Wing shooting from #8 for quail, to #5 for squirrel and rabbit or pheasant to 3 inch with large shot for turkey or waterfowl. Short, light, easy to carry and can be used by all sized family members. Can add a recoil reduction pad to extend length of pull for hunting by larger people. Very modular. Mossberg OK, too. Us older “kids” like the lighter weight vs. a 12 gauge!
For the last 40 years all I have in pistols are revolvers. My favorite is the S&W model 28 in .357 with the 8 3/8" barrel. This was my duty weapon at the Sheriff' dept.. Zero malfunctions on all that I have owned and used. I have a few semi-auto rifles, .22LR and .223 with less than 50 jams in 47 years, but mainly I have bolt action and lever action with a couple of mis-feeds at the end of the day at the range with the whole family shooting the Remington .22 LR bolt action and it was dirty and needed cleaning.
My biggest problem the last couple years was buying firearms that I thought were cool but were in uncommon calibers like my 6.5 Carcano, 7.62 Tokarev, 32 or expensive like 45-70, etc. I've since gone to cheaper, well known calibers that I can actually get and stock up.
@@JakeRoy98 there is something to be said about having something where you can afford enough ammo to practice. Once I have the amount of ammo for a particular gun stocked up. I keep it at that amount by only shooting if I have the ammo to replace what I have used.
True story... I couldn't find a holster that fit my .357sig. Was even at the SigArms Academy in NH, went into the store, and lo and behold my .357 did not fit in the holsters that were specifically made for it. The salespeople took a few minutes to cram it in, but it took them about 15 minutes to get it out of the holster again. 🤦♀ I have to use a thumb strap.
My grandfather would say "you don't butcher your calf with a butterknife" which was his way of saying use the right tool for the job. Should go without say but safety training a must.
MR, I am an old school firearm shooter. 1911 45 ACP protection, 357 is good for hunting, 308 or 3006 good for hunting, 20 guage for shotgun, old 16s are sweet. Hideout (CPL) 22LR. 'Old, Tried & True is the best', sounds like the line I was tossing to the 40ish young lady, well younger than I, last week.😊. Good video MR. From the 👍. Best
I think that a mindset is important in a serious situation. Most have never lived through an attempted break in, it's a long story. But what you think will never happen just might happen to you too! You gotta be ready for quick action with your mind already made up. IMHO
If you haven't bought your first firearm don't take anyone's word for what to buy. Go try out some firearms. Many indoor ranges will also rent guns. Also ask around if someone can take you to the range to try using their guns. If you do this, find out what ammo and buys some and bring to the range. Why? because not only do different guns fit your hands differently they also recoil differently. For instance, many small pocket carry 380's have more felt recoil than larger calibers? How can this be? Because the gun is light and so small that you don't get as much of a grip on it. Next, learn to field strip, clean and lube your firearm. Do this before you even shoot it. Why? even the best companies occasionally have a bur or small shards of metal waste from machining or the barrel may have excess lube to prevent rust in long term storage before sale. Now that you have a firearm that is ready to use, get a lesson or two on how to use it, how to align the sights and target, what is a safe grip, how to manage recoil and so on. Shoot some with your trainer. You don't want to assume you know how to do it, you may injure yourself or develope bad habits. Finally, shooting is a skill. All skills require knowledge, equipment, supplies and practice.
I have two Springfield 1911s my cast bullet hand loads are hit or miss with factory mags, 200grain bullets, but they are flawless using Wilson combat mags. Shot two deer within about 5 minutes with a 357 revolver using my flat nosed cast bullets, ruger,Blackhawk.
@@OldNavajoTricks I do not. What I do is cover any moving parts, or any entrances into the firearms mechanisms. Then paint a solid color. Cover with a large mesh and reverse the color (dark/light or vice versa). This mimics the natural patterns like the feathers on birds or scales on fish. Which is some of the best natural camouflage. I hope this explains it to you.
@ModernRefugee It does thank you, I'm just binging as I'm after a Kral Hi Cap for a project and paint is definitely happening 😂 I appreciate the swift response marra 🤘

Same here! Perfect to listen to while dinner (which I started too late...oops!) is in the oven and on the stove 😁

I like the term “mature platform “.
That’s definitely my taste.
@@justusupnorth8262 I find that is the term that best puts how I want to communicate a quality reliable firearm.
Not sure if I ever heard the term; move the furniture around
The Sig P220 is such a smooth shooting 45, superior to any 1911 I’ve ever shot

@@fgallogallo7 I know some fudds that can shoot pretty good. I never underestimate someone who is using an older firearm.

Nothing wrong with an old school thumb strap and leather for edc or hiking. I see many people open carrying this way.
Most excellent video Modern.
