I got the BRN180 version with a 16” 350 legend upper for deer season and it’s been almost perfect. Fit and finish is excellent and it cycles extremely smoothly. With the stock upper and the short buttplate it came in just a little shy of 26”. Since I don’t want to deal with NFA paperwork for an SBR stamp, I have to run the extended butt plate for now, but even with the extended plate the length of pull is usable, and I’m not a big guy at 5’5” 140lbs with little tiny hands. I did purchase a flash hider that brings it just over 26” with the short butt plate, but I’ll have to have it pin and welded to be legal. I also noticed that while the a3 tactical hand guard does fit, it needed to be shortened by about 5/8” to line up correctly. (5 seconds at a chop saw) I love my build! It’s super fun to shoot at the range, but I bought it as a compact deer gun off my motorcycle, so I can’t wait for this fall!

the shortest barrel length used to be 4 5/8, which is what you measured. you "looked it up in the database" where they no doubt have there current lengths. 2 things changed about this revolver in 2017. the barrel was changed to 4.2 inches for easier conceal carry, and the cylinder was partially machined to accept moonclips so that it can fire 45acp, in addition to 45 colt. when you said "this was introduced way back in 1979", thats true of the redhawk, but it was initially only available chambered in 44 magnum. for disambiguation for viewers who may perceive that you said "the redhawk in 45 colt was introduced in 1979", no, not even close. it was after 1990 before the redhawk was available in any other chamberings (like 41 mag,45 colt, and 357)

Ive owned my SI RRS since 2016 or so and have put about 9,000 rds through it installed in my modded FN AR-15 16" 5.56 × 45 nato M4. The thing seems to work well but ive had issues. At about 4,500 rds i noticed the 2nd stage buffer components had seized inside my buffer tube. It seems the yellow polymer "bottoming cone" thingy had expanded from repeated impact and seized within the brass sleave and caused the failure. The rifle was still operating just fine as the main buffer component was unaffected. I contacted SI and promptly received a new polymer 2nd stage buffer assembly. All was well for another 4,500 rds or so but just recently i discovered the same issue had occurred. This time i chose to remove the buffer system and return to the standard buffer for a few reasons. First of all, while the RRS proved reliable and effective i found that it doesnt provide enough spring pressure as the BCG goes into battery. Often while manually cycling the action i would discover the carrier would bounce back and settle just out of battery. While the bolt was securely home, the carrier was held about 1/16" or 1 mm to the rear. It required just a slight bump on the forward assist or even a slap to the receiver to send it home but the spring pressure on the carrier in the in battery location and the initial stage of rearward travel was insufficient as it feels about half that of the stock buffer system. I never had a malfunction during firing but that was a bit disconcerting. Second, while the RRS operates very smoothly and quietly, and very well may have a softer feeling recoil impulse, i cant really say its an improvement. Recoil CAN NOT be reduced by a buffer system after all. The recoil impulse can be MODIFIED, by spreading it out over a longer or shorter duration in time but it cannot be reduced. Not by a buffer anyway. The RRS does feel different. It does make the rifle feel a bit less snappy but its hard to say if thats an advantage. And after the two malfunctions and the issue with the spring rate in the initial phase of recoil, i just think id prefer the original standard FN buffer. Both my FNs have the smoothest and quietest stock actions ive ever felt anyway. Theyre practically silent and buttery smooth. So that wasnt a need either. I will say as far as the malfunctions go, that i believe it to be caused by the use of relatively soft nylon or polymer of some type. I guess it could be considered a "normal wear component" and due for replacement every 3,000 to 5,000 rounds. Or perhaps a redesign is needed. Perhaps change the compound to a stiffer material or use aluminum instead. Im sure SI would replace my 2nd stage again if i chose to contact them and i may do just that in the near future. But for now im parking the RRS and rocking the tried and true Eugene Stoner original. Would i recommend the RRS? Not for duty and definitely not for combat. But for recreation/target shooting and or competition, sure. I think theres enough there to have value and it just may offer enough advantage to warrant the price of admission, which btw is quite reasonable. I think i paid $125 or so for mine. It was definitely less than $150. Anyway....thats my 2 cents.

Another little known ugly! I'd ADVISE EVERYONE TO CHECK THERE CM/PM 9's (and probably any other kahr). I purchased my CM9 for the exact reason of...... The G43 did not yet exsist, and I wanted his size back-up weapon. I did my break in and love this micro 9. The department I served did not approve it though, because Karh will not certify outsiders to be armorers, so we had none in house, hence not approved for that reason. Again, love this little 9 and it functioned great......UNTIL it didn't ! THIS IS A WIERD KNOWN PROBLEM (but not well advertised) I FOUND OUT ~AFTER~ IT HAPPENED AND I RESEARCHED IT. No recalls for this either that I could find. Sorry for for the -all caps- but this is important. T H E I S S U E :::: It is a cold weather problem. I accidentally discovered it after years of owning it, brining my CM9 in from my car on a cold winter night. It was below freezing. Prior to stowing the weapon I dropped the mag, racked the chambered round out, pointed it at the ground and pulled the trigger....... NOTHING ! No click of the mechanisms or firing pin !!! A dead trigger ! I kept racking and pulling the trigger and nothing ! I was still outside in the cold. It really freaked me out of the ramifications of that. I brought the gun in the house and made some dinner, contemplaiting the situation. Some time had passed and I again racked the slide, but this time it functioned as normal. What the heck !? To keep it short & to the point; I had discovered the malfunction only happened when the pistol was super cold, at or below 32 degerees. I could easily replicate the problem by putting it in my freezer for 30-40 minutes, retrieving it and dry functioning the gun (which would NOT function) WOW! What the heck is that about I thought. I tried that with a few other pistols, and a G43 that I had eventually aquired and ZERO issues with any others. I went on-line and researched this and found others who discovered this same problem! Since I was the original owner and Kahr has a great lifetime service for us, I contacted Kahr and sent it in with the above story/issue attached. They never denied it was "a thing" for some pistols, and they serviced and fixed the problem. I never got an explanation to what the issue was when it got cold. And of course when I got it back it went right to the freezer to vet it for cold operation without any problems. So if you have one of these....... DO A FREEZER TEST ON YOUR KAHR ! BE Safe All !

I have the cousin of these kahrs, the naa guardian 380 (frames were made by kahr at one time). These 2 companies built semi autos that may require “break in”, I’ve found that breaking them down and polishing less vital contact areas (not sear but everything else). I’ve had them run flawlessly at the first mag now with this rework. It doesn’t bother me because at their price they come as is. If these tighter tol pistols were fully polished they would be cost prohibitive for many, including myself.

The barrel is torqued onto the action. In order to remove the barrel you need a few specialized tools (Action wrench, barrel bushing vice, head spacing gauges (go and no-go gauges)). You can order a barrel that is "short chambered" which would need to be properly head-spaced but very easy to do. You would need the headspace gauge and the finishing reamer in the caliber to rebarrel that action yourself.

Since I was the original owner and Kahr has a great lifetime service for us, I contacted Kahr and sent it in with the above story/issue attached. They never denied it was "a thing" for some pistols, and they serviced and fixed the problem. I never got an explanation to what the issue was when it got cold. And of course when I got it back it went right to the freezer to vet it for cold operation without any problems. So if you have one of these....... DO A FREEZER TEST ON YOUR KAHR ! BE Safe All !
That is very odd. I’ve never heard of the freezer test or cold operation issues.
Its not FINICKY!! the gun is designed to hold open bolt when empty, if you put rounds in it it will cicle effortlessly!
In the end is still Benelli, which is one of the best shotguns in the world. It’s hard to be to get a semi auto Italian shotgun.
Spend the money on Surefire Mini Scout Pro Turbo duel fuel in FDE. I’m very particular about what goes on my rifles but I also don’t have unlimited financial resources to spend. That being said, for the build you’re showing in this video it NEEDS the Surefire for reliability and aesthetics. A Vtac sling would finalize. Nice rifle brother. I would also switch to the B5 Systems Enhanced SOPMOD. JMHO🇺🇸
That’s a good point thanks for the feedback!
None of the holosuns are a direct fit without modifications. I have the holosun eps carry on mine wich is the same footprint as the 407 and 507k and a plate is needed unless you file the lugs down on the slide.
That’s a good point. Thanks for sharing! 🤙🏼
Cool SBR! I have an M85NP that I’ve been wanting to SBR forever but the process is so time consuming and confusing to me.
I will say it has gotten a lot better that’s partially because ATF is absolutely losing their butt in court in Texas. The waiting periods have been cut into fraction of what they were for NFA items. Which if you’re going to do it it’s a great time to do it. But I completely understand. I would say if you’re thinking about doing it I would 100% recommend going the trust route. And make sure you use SilencerShop. It makes the whole process a whole lot easier.
CA shops charge a lot.
Yeah, I heard that and that is terribly unfortunate! I wonder if that stems from the approval list that CA has?! Maybe my Californian brothers can expound on that more than I can.
I have the cousin of these kahrs, the naa guardian 380 (frames were made by kahr at one time). These 2 companies built semi autos that may require “break in”, I’ve found that breaking them down and polishing less vital contact areas (not sear but everything else). I’ve had them run flawlessly at the first mag now with this rework. It doesn’t bother me because at their price they come as is. If these tighter tol pistols were fully polished they would be cost prohibitive for many, including myself.
I’m at the point where you cover break in via polish. I’ve used flex hone as well for chamber/ramp or charge holes (357 with 38 carbon).
First, thank you for spending the time to share your feedback and opinion! I really love hearing other peoples experiences and maybe the steps or methods to overcome an issue like barrel break-in.
Always important to get spare mags and parts for your ccs
I have sheared the cocking bolt - the fun part - that you slam down. I was not aware that the factory H&K MP5 22 clone parts would likely work as a replacement part. I will attempt to order one today when I get off work. Thanks for the video!
I have one of the 89 Gemtech converted REAL SUPPRESSOR versions. Do you know the official PN for it?
You are talking about the "Gemtech GSD-5 is permanently suppressed " Those are nice and rare!
I have had it for about 8 or 9 years. EVERYONE that shoots it thinks it has misfired the first time they pull the trigger. It is hands down the quietest suppressed gun I have ever fired.
I believe those sights are specifically made to run with an RMRcc that is on a mounting plate. Thus requiring the taller sights
You are correct. They sent them to test out but I didn't have a RMRcc. So it doesn't work for my exact setup.
You offer a lot of information in your videos but it would really help showcase what it is that you’re talking about if you would leave it in camera view and not constantly move it around.
Nice beard, get an extended slide release, their easy to install diy
I'm sorry if I missed it in the video, but is that an SCT frame you have in there? Is that the regular Glock version 20/20 or the P80 model?
P80 version of my memory is correct because of the 1913 light/accessory rail.
I wish I lived somewhere similar to your area, beautiful background.
Thank you! It’s a life long dream to live here.
Where I live, I think I may have committed a felony by watching this video about a handgun that looks so handy
It’s sad and upsetting the condition of our country at the moment along with these anti-gun states.
Uhhh no guns in America should be “banned” it’s in the 2nd amendment to bare arms and they don’t specify because it was written to be future proof
Good morning. Hope your enjoying your summer. 🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥
I am! Hope you are as well!
Are you still running an eotech on there or did you change it out for something more compact ?
EOTech is on my AK47 SBR now. I’m running a micro Red dot sight on the A300.
I am trying to install a upper and lower front hand rail to my AK hell pup
What brand?
Hell pup AK-47
Can someone teach me how to install a hand guard to the front of my hell pup polish AK ?!!
What handguard are you trying to install?
Just a disgrace that Glock doesn't offer OEM extended mags. The 3rd party mags are not reliable enough
It should have been OEM, 100% agree! Glock missed the mark!
Good to see you. I've been busy with work and summer activities. Hope your doing well. See ya. 🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥
Thanks, you too! Summer has been busy!
Perfect platform for handloaders
Great video... Just got my first can, is the original flash hider on the Hellion pinned or welded?
No. You can remove the original muzzle device since it was not pinned and welded.
Damn, those sights look like a plane could fly into them at any second. I recently had a similar issue with Truglo's. Sometimes buying things from the internet is just great.
Hahaha 😂 yeah these sites were sent to me to test out and they are skyscrapers! But then again I have a suppressor coming, so we’ll see.
These things are so damn accurate you don't even need a laser
You are right! They’re dead on the money! I do like having a white light on it; I don’t use the laser much.
@@GunsmithBeard I took the sights off and have the swamp fox Blade mounted, even though Blade was designed around the ar it works great just a bit chunky. Would love to try the Raider, like the video by the way and not knocking the Lazer I run em on other guns just saying the scorps are just so on the money!!!
4.2” barrel is too short for a carbine. Any bull pup version?
Yeahhhh for a carbine setup I get that. Honestly, the size of this set up is more of like a sub gun and very concealable.
Hello, you have done a good job your weapon is very pretty, I myself have a CZ 550 in 22-250 and I would like to mount a new barrel with a shorter twit, how is the barrel fixed on the case with what dimension of no screws, thank you for your answer, best regards JP
The barrel is torqued onto the action. In order to remove the barrel you need a few specialized tools (Action wrench, barrel bushing vice, head spacing gauges (go and no-go gauges)). You can order a barrel that is "short chambered" which would need to be properly head-spaced but very easy to do. You would need the headspace gauge and the finishing reamer in the caliber to rebarrel that action yourself.
A little tough to work the slide but the slide on the Walther PPQ is a nightmare to rack!! I had a PPQ but sold it because of it's slide. It was awful!

@@GunsmithBeard ended up grabbing a Dara
That’s so cool!
Extremely popular in the Pennsylvania mountains. Along with the savage 99
I could only imagine with all the deer hunting!
I have on in .243. Grandfather and uncles had the .308’s. Triggers break like glass but extremely heavy
That’s the truth!
Hey boss did you get all these parts on one site or multiple sites?
Most of the parts came from Brownells. There were a few parts I had to go directly to the source of the manufacturer.
@@GunsmithBeard appreciate it man
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Ya, i have a bad stigmatism. I need to run red dots outside at almost night level to see them clearly.
I have bad stigmatism in both eyes and this is really good without wearing prescription glasses. I would highly recommend running in this micro prism!
Just got mine! Have only shot the Mete SFT Blue Cyber, so I expect this gun to be just as much fun.
Congrats!!! 🧟♂️🪦⚰️I Love mine too!!!!
Nice gun, nice hat……I’ll sub to that😁
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Thank you, i was looking for this. Now I'm looking for a drum 🥁
What drum are you looking at? Magpul?
@GunsmithBeard for the cz scorpion micro 3+. Trying to see if the promag fits .
My micro 3+ will drop the bolt if I send a mag home firmly 😂 only after a last round hold open, won't do it if you manually lock it back. 🙌
Hahahaha 😳🤦🏻♂️😂
Hope you enjoyed your memorial weekend with your family. Thanks for sharing. Take care.🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥
Nice build. The sights would be good if you put in a threaded barrel with a suppressor
