- What Gun should I buy? Collector or Capability? One Warrior One Sword Hatchet Cast Episode 3
Hatchet Cast Episode 3 goes over the " One Warrior One Sword" Mentality In this Episode Roy and Eric discuss the capability driven mentality for the individual. Diving into buying guns, accessories and gear with purpose and capability driven goals. the Capability driven mentality also helps the individual to seek out specific training to equip them with the skillsets that make them more of an asset and less of a liability. Watch or just listen, and dive in with us as we break down the mentality we use to establish driven buying decisions as well as personal goals with training and making yourself more capable and an asset to those around you.

Thanks again for your support and make sure to train, be the asset and not the liability! You are Barrel & Hatchet Trade Group!
I totally agree with building a solid armory. I sold all my “ok” guns and only have “go to war” weapons. Every firearm has a purpose and will not fail.
What is your definition of OK guns vs your “Go To War” weapons?
that is the first step towards the capability mindset.that is awesome to hear!
@@Goosekim541 having multiple S&W Sports or budget build ARs vs just having one Knights Armament SR-15.
Murphy’s law is always in effect.
@@Goosekim541 Okay guns are collector guns or rifles that aren’t set up with a gear load out for it. A go to war rifle is set up with optics, weapon light, sling, extra magazines, ammo, and a way to carry them. Train with it to understand your capabilities and be intimately familiar with it on and off the range.
I was a collector and over time have come to realize that it's better for me to offload some of the collection and upgrade to the buy once cry once type of firearms. I can always collect after have solid setups
very true!
I’m looking forward to low light/night vision stuff too. That gear I’m finding is extremely expensive! It’s bad enough I just dropped $3500 to build a really good GPR, and once it’s done, then to drop $2k to take a 2-3 day rifle course to learn how to run everything. The night vision stuff is even more than that! This stuff gets expensive. It’s definitely a journey, not a destination…and I freaking LOVE it!
For me, this video represents a “light at the end of the tunnel” in the firearms community. A shame that some will never see or understand it.
If the light is at the end of the tunnel, then it can grow! Thanks for the support man! Have a merry Christmas!
It’s tough being a collector and a shooter/training. I myself have cut the safe down by 50%. Solid stuff keep it going
Dude that is the tough struggle, because it’s so tempting to collect. Sometimes you can do both, it’s the mindset that counts
@@barrelandhatchet incredibly difficult…. I have a lot of ww1 & ww2 relics but I still shoot em. It’s hard when they’re generational from grandfather to dad to
son. No point in safe queens
@@djmm468 there are some exceptions, family heirlooms have a special place.
As the old adage states, “Fear the man that has one gun, for he knows how to use it…very well”. As others have stated, I sold off most of my “neat to have” collection except for one which is a M1 Tanker Garand in 7.62 / 308, I now concentrate on the “Sheep-Dog” stuff with plenty of spare parts for maintenance. Most of my stuff consists of the ubiquitous AR15 and Glock 22, both are the adult form of Tinker Toys.
I appreciate the way you guys flow through the conversation. It invites the listener in as if you’re talking with us and not at us. Great video as always guys!
Hey man we are walkways learning so talking to us about your thoughts in the comments helps fuel the next conversation in the next episode. Thanks so Much for the support!
Immigrant from a country that doesnt have 2A. When hurricane harvey hit us in TX, was when I finally convinced my mother to have a firearm in our home(she’s deathly afraid of em due to cultural differences and overall prejudice of civilians with guns are bad), when she called the sheriff if its safe to come back home(we evac’ed), sheriff asked if we had a gun, she says no, sheriff responds “then no.” Lol we came back eventually, got a cheap taurus pt111 g2. Got good with it, took care of it, got a concealed carry license, trained with it some more. Assembled my first AR from palmetto state armory, basic M4 setup with irons first, got good with it, learned how to properly take care of it. by this time ive done extensive studying on firearms on my own, talked to my local gunsmith, read books, yt, forums, had a church friend who’s a retired 75th Ranger who had really good insight on these stuff.
Focused my acquisition on functionality over “looks,” somehow still managed to somewhat not look shitty lol, got a full size pistol(m9 beretta), built an AR10(DPMS Pattern, bought parts over time), built a PC kit and belt setup.
Joined the Corps, learned a lot from senior marines who know what they need from their gear and use their own gear-something grunts really do care about a lot in my unit. Having training here with the gear that i wanna test out(as long as they’re in regs by gunner or whatnot) really does help out on funneling down what i wanna get.
Currently in the process of building an ar pistol geared more towards cqb(obvsly), truck/travel gun, switched to a glock 45 as my full size, looking into getting ceramic plates. Nothing too fancy on the build, just what i “need.”
Functionality over aesthetics all the time.
Wow that is an incredible testimonial, and yeah man we all start our journey somewhere. The great thing about the gunfighter journey is it’s always evolving and always relatable to other shooters. Performance matters, durability matters, looks cab matter as well. You have to also like the firearm you have in order to have some of the motivation to train with it. Thanks for sharing your story!
@@barrelandhatchet thanks man, but thank you guys for quality content. Like the other guy said, y’all’s convo’s really do feel like were in it too, and its what i like about content like these, it really gets me thinking. There’s so much knowledge transfer that can go on, and fresh ideas can be formulated just by listening and fusing what you hear with what you already know. Keep up the good work, guys. Will be waiting for the next one. 🤘
@@jedkennethbernardo5510 dude that is awesome to hear and we are humbled by your response. Althea is so much for your support
Eric….”The ready room” arsenal is a sweet sweet topic and can be discussed at length lol 😂!! Side note I bought my PCC specifically to hand off to a female. A few female friends gave me the idea. Collectively they said the PCC platform was significantly easier to shoot than a short AR!!
it does provide ammo compatibility with your pistol so that works out, and remember if they can train to be competent with that then they will be an asset.
I was also in a class with a guy who had a Springfield AR, and a Stock Glock 19, and he outshot most everyone there. There was also a guy with a Sticatto and his Lantac went down on the second day, I don't know what the issue was, but it was clear who trained more vs who thought they could buy the capability
Whoa that is a good testimony, it’s the individual that makes them an asset, not the tool.
@@barrelandhatchetas John Lovell from Warrior Poet Society always says it’s the Indian not the arrow. Yes as I have journeyed through the 2A landscape I have found that I have spent too much on the “arrows” and not the Indian (training) mostly because we don’t have much in the way of training and it’s extra expensive for me living in Commiefornia-lite (Hawai’i) to have to fly everywhere. One day soon I will get over there to you guys.
I've actually been in the process of downsizing most of my collection. I'm trying to stick to my 12.5 and then building out an SPR type rifle(I've always loved the MK12 and now's the time). Then there's my conceal carry.
Amen to that. The mk12 is an addiction that never goes away
Btw
@@barrelandhatchet hey I’m a bullpup lover and wonder if you think the x95 and steyr Aug waffle mag version are considered quality buys I have both. My load out is more centered around closed quarters with ability to shoot out to 300m, both have red dot and magnifiers.
This is gonna be long but I promise it’s going somewhere, and hopefully I can get some input. I’m debating extremely shaving down my options to make emergency actions simpler, recoup some money, and cut down on clutter in the safe and having so many different ammo types. I’ve got all the things (300, GPR, SPR, 308, etc).
I know that we’ve had pounded In our heads that pistols are only to “shoot your way to a rifle”, but what if we thought about them differently? What if they were more of a primary weapon for CQB? Let me defend this.
Theyre obviously small, light, extremely maneuverable, usable with one hand, etc. But further, if you put on a gas mask, going to pistol is by far the best option. Yes you can get behind some optics with a mask on, but it takes a lot of work and discomfort.
Under night vision, it’s generally agreed upon that using the dot and a vampire light is the way to go, and I agree. By just switching to pistol under NODs, no need to worry about if your rifle optic can support NV settings or a high rise.
By using the pistol for those close quarter tasks, your rifle can remain tailored to harness its full power at distance, like with (and I know they’re unpopular right now but) an LPVO. I feel like just using a dot on rifles is leaving a lot on the table. You can keep a full powered white light and not compromise it with a vampire, and not add the weight & cost of a LAM which are all sub-par anyways.
All this being said, I’m about at the point I’m willing to let the rifle hang and go to pistol if I’m about to go inside a structure and get rid of my shorter barrel AR platforms. The 300 subsonic is the energy of a 45 ACP. The 5.56 is neutered when cut down. All the arguments of effectiveness are harder to accept when sacrificing that much velocity and the handgun will still get the job done.
It’s tempting to trim the fat and have only a bolt gun for long range, a GPR, a full size handgun, and a carry handgun.
I like listening to these chats. Lots of things to think about.
Solid video and commentary. Thank you guys for dropping this knowledge and encouragement to our community.
Thanks for the support josh!
Great stuff! I’m literally at this point !
Been collecting guns for the past 2 years at around 15k spent yet haven invested much in my training other than my Security training , but coming to a point to where I want to find out my primary “shtf” load out and Gucci it out while get training! Literally the perfect video for what I’m going through right now , thanks !
I subbed at 5k , hope y’all grow 💯🤘🏽
I needed to hear this lesson again. I have been a collector for years. Constantly buying, trying, and trading guns to scratch the itch. Now looking back on what I have had the opportunity to own, I am kicking myself for not keeping more of them and taking classes.
These pod casts are so great!! I love the videos playing while you talk! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks so much for the support!!
One warrior one hatchet
But a really great topic. Thank you for giving me a much needed perspective
Central florida. Polk county let’s go!!!
Hell yeah bruther
A really interesting conversation. 100% agree on having fewer weapons with more capability over having a ton of firearms just to have them
awesome man and thanks so much for the support of the channel!
I like the recorded training session playing in the background during the podcast bros lol
Lol thank ya thank ya
Good points. Am I a collector? Sure, I suppose. I have built an AR for home defence, one as a general purpose, an SPR, an M16A4 clone, a themed sci fi build, and an M4 clone. Do I train? Yes. 8 years US Army Infantry and I continue to train.
I did that. 11.5 urban setup, cz po9 for edc, and 6.5 prc for LR work/hunt. My budget shrinked from 78 percent spent on buying ammo to 44 %(reloading 223 and 9mm and 6.5 prc). Every month i buy 200 5.56,200 x 9mm and 100 cases plus bullets and primers) i stand at 3000 223,4000 x 9mm,980 for 6.5.half of that is training ammo. I also load on weekends between 600 to 1600,that is for my private stock. If i take for training i replace with reloaded.
That is a smart systems
@Jeff Merrill .308 is plentiful cheaper, not as capable as some of the more modern rounds, but still capable enough for sure. And there is a lot of open source data on that cartridge
@Jeff Merrill yeah we looked into a 6mm ARC mk12 build, but abandoned it due to lack of ammo and price when we did find it was not feasible
@Jeff Merrill yeah man I hear ya, That is super frustrating
It's always an honor to be apart of the community. Good video boys 👌
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Gents, all good points! BUT you glossed over a HUGE point. The fact that Military Experience, especially service in the Special Operations Community, is longer a prerequisite for proficiency with a Rifle or Pistol. That speaks volumes to Knowledge Transfer from 2001 to present day. Trainers like Paul Howe just being willing to train EVERYONE, forever changed the landscape. There was a time when the only places you could learn a “Four Point Draw” was at the Operator Training Course at Fort Bragg, or a watered down version at BUDs/SQT. The community has truly exploded, and just like any Truly Free Market; the Good Instructors Rise, and Bad Instructors Fall… Anyone remember “Range Time with Cory and Erika?”
Great channel guys! Just found your content a few days ago. Totally agree on topic! Less quantity with more quality is the way to go. Testing my kit as a civilial follows 3 steps. 1. Try it at home and in the backyard. Do some dry practice. 2. Test it on the range with some stress from the timer. 3. Proof it at nighttime, in the cold, in the wet, while you are tired. Maybe while hoghunting under nightvision.
And for the beginners out there. Start training with one pistol/rifle combo, master this combo to an acceptable degree, learn from your mistakes and buy new stuff as you're evolving. Then start the loop from the beginning.
Greetings from Germany
hey that is awesome to have a supporter from Germany! super cool, and totally agree with you, Thanks so much for the support!!
Stoked I found this channel. I’m over here in Martin County and JTAC Ranch looks incredible to take a class at once I start my training journey. I’m reaffirmed to know that I was on the right track with the thought process of setting up my system. I have a 16”LWRC IC-E that is moving toward a SPR setup. Sure, can it do everything? Absolutely. But I think having a RECCE system would be a better tool to fill that general purpose roll; Lighter, shorter, more maneuverable for training etc. I really like the ADM 13.9 UIC Patrol. Looking forward to learning more in the RECCE episode.
That is awesome to hear, I would also recommend taking a class at the ranch in order to get a membership. Membership’s are sold out at the ranch until next April, but if you take a class, they give the students an option to sign up, come join the community!
Love the lwrc spr good choice
Guys, great content. I'm really enjoying this micro cast deal. Keep it up🤙
Thanks so much man, if you feel like someone could benefit off these video series, share it with them! It also helps us out a lot and would be super helpful!
I was in the unit with the black helicopters ya know with the mind reading equipment and the 105 howitzer cannon. LOL!! I had a lot of fun training with JTAC when ever we went down to Florida. Love y'alls videos keep em coming. NSDQ!!!
Nice nice, thanks for the support!
This hurt my soul. I am a collector and once or twice a year get some formal training. But I have so many AR rifles and pistols. Most are seldom shot. My excuse for collecting is for posterity. Maybe I’m a pessimist, but I do think AR rifles and semi auto guns will be banned at some point in time and all the ones we have now will be “grand fathered” in. So buy as many as you can, while you can.
HIGHLY under represented subject yall are talking about here..... the collections are cool but spend on quality, training, and ammo. Loved listening to you guys just found your channel. Keep it up!
I think the best “ready room” for most people at its most basic level is a pistol, a longer scoped rifle, a shorter red dot rifle
Agreed. 1000%. People need to pick a weapon system and train with that system. Invest in ammo and training.
Great conversation, fan from Canada
Oh that is awesome! Thanks so much for the support eh
This makes me feel better that as somebody is getting into guns and being broke, buying one pistol. And 1 rifle is good
I went from a high speed for a micro rig to a split chest rig because i just HAVE to have more gear for what my mission set is, plus i can open that thing up and let it hang or make my life better in the prone
Good comments, thoughtful and thought provoking!
No cutting corners to save money. In the long run cost doesn't matter. Wilson Combat, etc..match barrel, etc.. 7.62X51/.308 Barrier Penetration, etc.. Ammunition .65 cents and up. Get 7 to 10 of magazines and inexpensive steel ammunition. As well as quality ammunition for backup.
After listening to this, I ran a mile with my plate carrier on. That shit was super hard!
Get after it!
Keep up the great work! I appreciate the content and your conversational style overlay to the videos. Definitely sets you apart from all the other “bench talk” and “selfie stick” copy cat channels😎
Hope to see something on lasers and lights from ya.
I've taken this ideology to extreme.
I have 1 rifle lower, and uppers in 11.5, 13.9 and 18.
And one pistol frame (Fullsize) and Fullsize, and compact slides, as well as Threaded barrel compact slide.
Mechanically I need to be able to shoot 2 guns.
And maybe I'll add third for precision bolt rifle.
I purposely bought a firearm that shoots every major caliber of cartridge I could think of... 223/556, 762x39, 9mm, 10mm, 38/357, 45acp, 300 blackout, 762x51, 380, 22LR, 22 magnum even some wildcat cartridges like 458 Socom, 30-30, 45-70, 30-06, 224, 6mm arc, 7mm and my thinking is knowing each firearm and cartridge as if something catastrophic happens, you won't be able to go out to the store and find whatever ammunition you have.
You could bypass this by stocking up on your caliber(s) of choice. I have 5,000+ rounds of the major cartridges like 9mm, 223/556, 762x39 and 1,000+ of the ones I'm not shooting as much like 10mm, 357 and 300 blackout. Where I'm lacking in both training and ammo are the wildcat cartridges only because ammo is so expensive and hard to find. I still fire those weapons 2x a year at a min with 50+ round range sessions but I'm glad I have them and I know my way around them.
Am I as versed on them as my go to AR15s or side arm 9mms? No... but hey... my significant other has kinda understood the concept.
this speaks to me as someone who has been buying non hunting guns the last 5 years. I have one compact pistol(p10c) one ccw carry(shield plus) and one full size(beretta 92) and one ssa for fun. Rifle wise I sold one of my two ars(that were cheap, kept one to lend to friends who go to the range with me) took a little loss and am now planning to buy more quality rifles. was funny enough looking at 11.6 and 16" 556 and then a 6.5 bolt gun lol....
I ultimately did end up sellin off all but one ar to have that one tool option, or general purpose rig. Setup for my area day or night, indoors or out. It's a SOLGW 13.7 with dead air can, have a dot on a unity fast mount with dual light and laser on a centurion arms c4 quad rail, has a giessle sch charging handle and giessle SSAE trigger with radian ambi safety. That's it mostly, I did keep one extra upper for hunting in 450bm to have a lil extra capability, so I'm still usin the same trigger, safety, grip and stock.
How’s that solgw running?
@@TriggaTrey361 Best damn rifle I've ever shot, best damn money I've ever spent on one. Zero malfunctions, shoots super flat, but I am runnin an h3 buffer in it. It came with an h1 or 2 but I just like the 3's especially since I shoot suppressed 99 percent of the time.
@@tylertapp131 I use the super 42 with a h3 myself as I shoot suppressed 99% of the time also I have a SIG tread 11.5 in that I’ve changed up some using a 2A regulated bcg also changed out that ugly ass rail with a mk18 geissele one glad to hear it’s running good bro I’m interested in a 13.9 from them☝️
@@TriggaTrey361 hell yeah man, those giessle rails are badass and tough as nails. If you get the chance it's worth it. Dont have any time behind the 13.9s but I'm sure they're very close in performance. I sold a 16 inch FN to get my solgw but I'm extremely happy I did.
Just found you guys. I dig the content
Thanks so much for the support we will work hard to not disappoint
I love this podcast. Just found you guys. Subbed
You are awesome!!
Currently I have my ar have it set up for home defense or SHTF and a chest rig no armor just with magazines and pouches my go to side arm now is my s&w m&p 2.0 FDE. I'm make my shockwave into a SBS to make it a better weapon. And I have a 22LR for fun and small game hunting. And a .357 revolver sp101 thinking of selling my sp101.
Recommend, one small thing. I would sell the sp101 and invest in a slick plate carrier, meaning no Molle webbing or pouches, you can find some for 90-130. Then save up for some sapi plates. Stay away from ar500 if you can. Ceramics are worth the wait and saving up for. Then you can wear just a slick plate carrier or you can wear your chest rig overtop of your carrier and ditch one or the other if you need too
Nice to follow another AF vet. I was on government funded vacation to Afghanistan in 09-11
Great episode guys. Y’all hit some very good points. I do not focus on collecting, but have some just due to sentimental reasons, or just because I wanted it. Others I have that fill roles and have a use. On that side I need to get real and slim down for sure. I have chased so many different platforms that I have not focused in on one and I need to.
I wish someone told me that when I was younger. Quality beats quantity most times in the gun world.
True statement
Lots of people collecting cars dont know how to race similar to those collecting lots of guns and dont know how to shoot matches. Dont think one needs to focus on being trained up if they really only like collecting instead of actually shooting, Just different goals for different folks. Most folks are aa blend of both with people on the extremes have bugger noses toward each other haha.
I try to collect a ideal firearm for each caliber I end up collecting personally tho only really train on 556/9mm.
And that is why there are some people who can do both. I would love to be in a position to do both.
Roy-“that’s a whole other gun” lol I know the pain lol 24:27
Hahahah yeah man
Solid points! I’m perpetually trying to control my collecting urge. I’m forced to carry glock at work so I have ended up compromising and just buying a bunch of Glocks, which helps me justify my buying as I’m at least working with the same platform no matter what I shoot.
Love these style videos
Thanks so luv for the support. If you know anyone that would benefit from this channel share a video with them, it would help us out alot
Been enjoying your content ever since I came across the recce spr video. Keep up the great work fellas and looking forward to seeing what you continue to produce!
Thanks my dude, also a big way to help us out, is if you know of a fellow shooter that would be interested in this channel share a video with them. And also happy late thanksgiving!
I may have to sell a few guns to help fund my nods.
Hahah amen to that
It's worth doin, just know once you start down that rabbit hole...... it's an addiction. It dosen't stop at nods, youlle start lookin into better mounts, better lasers, better lights, helmets all the shit. But once you got it man, you got it. It's worth the investment, worth a few less firearms to have alot more capability.
You guys are definitely on to something. Well done 👍
I am cutting down my safe. I am going to build out an AR-10.
I need to slim down my pistols I have way too many polymer 9mm’s.
Hell yeah. Great discussion
I agree everyone who owns a firearm should take it upon themselves to seeks training that gives them a basic level of understanding. However, if you're honest with yourself, seeking advanced training and collecting are one in the same in terms of civilian practicality.
Aside from basic courses, there is no practicality for civilians to attend advanced training schools. In the real world I can't think many scenarios where you would be existing your vehicle with a carbine and a plate carrier and engaging multiple targets. There's no real world scenario where you're engaging a target at 1,000 yards. I've attended multiple advanced training courses through my agency and will occasionally see civilians there. While I fully support anyone who seeks advanced training, you have to be realistic with the application. If you're going to pretend that there is a likelihood you're going to be in one of these scenarios, it's LARPing. Just like with collectors, you have to be honest with yourself that you're doing it for the fun of it. Some people will make the argument that if an apocalyptic scenario where to happen, this training is useful. While there is some truth to that, the reality is that you should also be learning tacmed, bushcraft and focusing on physical fitness.
Again, I fully support anyone that wants to attend advanced training, but please be realistic. That's just my two cents.
No.
Serious question: How do you find the time to train when you’re married with three kids and a full time job?
If it were up to me, I’d shoot every week. I’m in Tampa so JTac Ranch is an option. I’ll bring all my gear and you tell me what to sell to afford ammo, time and training.
Good stuff you’re sharing. Thanks for taking the time. Subscribed.
Luckily shooting is my day job. But it also depends on healthy goals. You don’t have to shoot at the range once a week l, maybe all you can afford time for is once a month, but you can dry fire at home, go to classes a couple times a year and when you plan for your range day when you have it, it’s very productive! And good job in three kids and having a family, that makes you a rebel in today’s society
@@barrelandhatchet I appreciate the response. Maybe another podcast idea is productive range plans?
@@scottclaiborne5123 that is a great idea for an episode
Super Dave Harrington (ex-Delta operator) is in Tampa. Combatspeed is the name of his company. Look him up and give him a call.
@@WDLC1911 Thanks for that! Looking him up now!
I really like the discussions on this channel!
Great lesson talk . Why carry shot gun shells on your back ? That makes no sense to me, someone help that guy out , Even if you had one you wouldn't want them there. I'm not being a dick, just want to help him to be Affective. Correct, encourage, uplift, instruct, protect and defend, build up , w/love (retired commercial construction superintendent) you guys are our future hope ! Subed in
Great vid👌
This is a dope channel and I'm really glad I stumbled upon it
I see off the grid surplus pants. Gang gang.
Heck yeah dude they are awesome!!
I see the 509T’s on quite a few pistols and offsets you guys are runnin. When are doing a review?? Or did I miss it. The 509T is easily my new fave.
We will def do a review on it, and that is a great point, we have been running it for awhile, def a shop talk episode is needed on it
This is the way
This is the way
Great videos guys.
It looks like you guys are running the Wilder Tactical belts. I have their Urban Assaulters belt. Haven’t had the opportunity to run it in a class yet but it fits well.
I didn't hear if you mentioned, but what about the guys who finally get the money for a platform they like but still need the skills? Like the guy with the Staccato you talked about. I'd be more worried about the guy that just shoots the 4k guns on a static range than the guy who gets training now that life is treating him better
I would agree with you so hard on this. Training first then graduate yourself into a gun you dream of. But cut your teeth in training and using a workhorse tool set
They are tools just like any other. Some old tools work better and definitely are tougher! But you have to use them or they are just dust collectors.
I’ve been calling my 14” with LPVO, my General Purpose Carbine or GPC for a couple years now. Way better than trying to steal the brit’s RECCE, especially considering I’m extremely unlikely to reconnoiter anything with it.
Although it suddenly just reminded me that GPC is also government purchase card and I think the acronym is ruined for me. Damn. GPR maybe?
… and I should have waited until the end of the video to comment. Anyway, have another comment to bump those RUclips metrics.
Hahahah touche and yea we are trying to start that trend that you have already had, renaming recce rifle to General purpose carbine or rifle
I like how I'm just learning about you guys and you're only an hour from me.
Hey team,
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I’d be interested in hearing more about weapon lights from you. Keep up the great content.
We actually will be doing a shop talk soon on lights
When it comes to recommending firearms . I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bias to certain extent . I'm for sure a buy once cry once type of guy . This doe not mean you need to buy or build the most expensive. It just buy or build the one you really want .
When it comes to 556N or 223W I personally think the Mini Recce is the best way to go . Something that is fast , accurate and Lightweight. Lastly it has to be super reliable .
Centurion CM4 , BCM ELW BFH , and IWI Zion AR15 Pistols is what I recommend the most . I also recommend Centurion CM4 or BCM ELW BFH Uppers with Aero Lowers .
For OPTICS I recommend Prisms or LPVO . Yeah Aimpoints and Eotechs are ridiculously reliable and durable . You just can't beat etched reticles..
Centurion CM4 12.5 AR Pistol with TR24 1-4 , Top Hat 509T , Cloid OWL and YHM T2 Turbo K with KURZ KIT is what my go too is..
I do think people get too caught up in what other people use and think they need the new whiz bang 3000 for them to shoot better . Don't know who quoted it but damn it's so true . The Indian will always be better than arrow .
When it comes to Handguns . Its has to be reliable . Glock , Shadow Systems , S&W and Sig is what I recommend the most . Plus I've had the most experience with them . I believe striker fired is the way too go . I think for the modern warfighter or civilian a hammer is no longer needed .
As for size of what handgun you should get or model . Get G19 sized / Compact and be done with it . G19 sized gun can be used for EDC , Duty or HD / SD . I'm not a fan of Sub Compact Handguns . Shadow Systems MR920 Combat Optics Ready or G19 G5 AOS are the 2 handguns I recommend the most.
I'm huge fan of MRDS on pistols .
Holoson 508T , 509T and 507C-X2-ACSS are all solid. Trijicon RMR Type 2 is probably still king of PISTOL mounted MRDS . For new MRDS shooter the 507C-X2-ACSS is the way to go for sure no questions asked ..
When it comes to white lights for Handguns or 556. Modlite , SF and Cloud are probably the best . Streamlight is the best less expensive option ..
I could keep going on and on and on but I think you get the point and this is just my 2 cents .
We agree. And that is pretty much what we talk about in episode 3, one Warrior one sword. At the end of the day everyone has a budget. If you want quality you just need to wait a little longer to save and then purchase quality versus settling for mediocre. And yea quality tools doesn’t make the user an asset. It just makes you a prize. Training at the end of the day and self investment is key. You do that enough then you will naturally want to find quality tools to hold up to your regimen. 🤘🏽
@@barrelandhatchet So I have super bad habit of looking at the title of the video and then commenting without watching the whole video . If I would of did that I would of known I was mirroring kinda of what you guys were saying. Next time I'll watch first lol..
I'm such a sucker for that damn Recce or Mini Recce . No way I could not go more than 14 minutes without saying Recce lol..
I would list my READY room rigs but it would be too long because I'm a guns and gear whore for sure . So I'd want to give every little detail . It would consist of LMT SPECWAR , MLR with MARS-L and KAC SR16 for sure . I would want 9mm , 556 and 6mm ARC. Between those 3 I could handle 800M and in for sure . I'd have D. WILSON do the MRP barrel Conversions ..
I've gotten to the point where I'd much rather have 2 rock solid 9mm , 556 and 6ARC VS having 10 basic rigs . Training at TACTICAL Response has taught me that for sure no doubt about it . I definitely wanna do more CQB Kill house type training . To me that's the most practical. I live in Harpers Ferry WV. So I'm right outside DMV area . I need to track down a place withing 500 Miles where I can do that type of training . I've dont SWAT style trading 10 years ago and loved it . I wish they would host that type of class again..
Love the channel bros..
@@seanwhite304 hahah thanks so much for the support and the load out data!!
This CCW course and the gun show sounds like the Fort Lauderdale war memorial gun show haha
Alright guys. I sold my prize collection piece to buy into this. I hate you for it but I also think you’re right
1 month later I’m really happy I did it.
you're not going to war with an armory. pick one. the rest are toys
That's what I ended up doin with my ar's about a year ago. I had around 15 ar's all "setup" for different shit... but realistically I know it's not theasable. I sold off most of them them used the money for one bombproof rig setup as a general purpose rifle. In the end I loved it so much I sold the rest of them except one upper for hunting with.

You guys have great content and videos
Tha is so much, we hope we will continue to deliver
what fixed blade knives do y'all prefer on your belt setups?
I'm a collector, but when it comes to my "go to" guns, I've thinned quite a bit.
its not easy but yeah man, collecting is perfectly awesome if you have the funds the passion, but rally focus your training on just a few tools to really give yourself the intimacy with the tool
@@barrelandhatchet Shifting focus on training as well. Getting into more recce or perhaps field craft is a better term. Hoping to get out to a couple of Buck Doyle's classes, but there are some pretty good ones here on the east coast.
@@Valkyrie1911 very awesome, investing into yourself always pays off in the end
Great content!
ooooo thanksgiving drop. Thanks gents
your welcome good sir and thanks so much for the support!!! Happy Thanksgiving
Man I wish I had the money to even start on the capability aspect 😂
Hahah, man we talk about this a lot, and that is budget. As painful as it is. Saving your money for quality is so hard and yet so important. Good things are worth the wait
When are ya'll bringing the chest rig back? Really want one.
That is a good question, we are actually prototyping some other things and also gen 3 GHOST. But stay tuned. As we get closer to the reveal their will def be posts about it
What magnifier do you have sitting behind that Holosun on the 11.5” “vehicle gun”…the one you described in your “Ready Room”!! is that the Vortex magnifier??
I know we should all do our own research but I’m still fairly new to north - central Florida ( citrus ). Any recommendations of good ranges / trainers ?
I fucking love this shit
HECK YES!!
@@barrelandhatchet YOU'RE GOSH DARN RIGHT!
The reason I don't train more is that ammo for a class is enormously expensive X_X
So so true. Dry fire is good however as nerdy as this may sound. Invest in a replica airsoft tool that matches what you have and utilize that to shoot paper targets in the garage or backyard. We have seen folks do that
Great podcast
Thanks so much for the support we cannot wait to continue to provide dope content for yall
Maaaan the carbine at 13:28 looks so well gassed. Any deets in the build?
That is an American Defense Manufacturing 10.3
Man, I wish I came across this channel when I was in central FL. I just moved south near West Palm / Jupiter area. I have a great collection now and REALLY want to train with my "big boy tools", my collection. Do you know anywhere down in south FL where I can train on steel like you guys do in your videos?
Hmm south Florida unsure but we know that tradecraft is on east Florida. JTAC Ranch is in the Tampa area, I would go on Instagram or find a local range and see if any of them know of other facilities.
If you are getting into the gun community and want to prepare for “that” bad day...
Find an affordable AR15 / Pistol.
Get your concealed carry permit.
FIND a reputable instructor and start learning your guns and how to effectively use them!
As time progresses you’ll upgrade gear and guns to finally find what you like and what actually works.
I'm in full agreement with the armory, but I disagree with what ya'll are saying should be in it. We're civilians, and its more likely that we will need to go hunt Turkey, Ducks and Rabbits when the food market collapses than be posted on top a Burger King with the Mk.12.
While you do have some solutions like .300 and .308 (one of which is a nest of problems in its own right for civilians) you do not need 5+ "go to war" guns, its redundancy for a role you will most likely never find your self in. Tacticool sex appeal doesn't stop these guns from being "ok guns" and if you have redundancy in a niche role, you have turned most those sexy guns into just "ok guns"
a Ruger American in .350 Legend, some 300 dollar hunting shotgun from a pawn shop, a pistol in 10mm.. Show me that, and I'll show you an armory that has its bases covered.
P.s. sub guns are never useful.
Cheese and rice is awesome
Pistol, AR and a long range rifle for me.
Very simple Indeed. Like it
I live 3 hours from jtac ranch, I really want to join but it currently says memberships closed on the site
Would either of y’all have an idea of when they might be open again
You guys should make these video into podcasts
Yo great ass vids!
Yo your a GREAT ass person!
