    I like the video, try lowering the music down to about 60-70% its current value so it’ll let your voice stick out more and be easier to hear, should be fairly easy to do if you check the side bar when you’re editing the music into the video before final rendering and exporting, keep it up homie! 💪💪

    Got the Shield Plus Performance Ctr with ported slide & barrel bout a year ago. Was a bit disappointed they weren't manufactured with a Picatinny rail... so I added the Recover SHR9 bolt-on rail. The rail stops flush with the muzzle and surrounds the front of the trigger guard. The rail is well-made. Big fan of Olight products so I added the Picatinny compatible Olight BALDR S model green laser/flashlight to the Recover rail. The Olight extends beyond the muzzle about 3/4" so it does reduce concealability a bit. Also added Talon Grips. While the stock grip texture is excellent, the Talon Grips extend grip texture further up the beaver tail and much closer to the slide (1/16" below the slide lock). Liked the included extra Talon squares that shipped with the grips to use as indexing points on the slide for your finger. And upgraded the stock fiber optic sights to Trijicon night sights. Also upgraded the stock S&W 10-round mag with a Pearce mag pinky extension. Talon Grips also makes adhesive grips for the extended mags if you want to match the look/feel of the Talon frame grips. Model I bought did not come optics ready. Costs about $167 from 3rd-party to mil the slide. Haven't convinced myself to do it. Now that I think about it, gotta stop spending money on this thing. Jeesh.

    $hitty trigger reset and too many reports of the roll pin walking loose randomly. That’s unacceptable for any gun, especially a carry gun. I’ll stick with my Sig p365, which had never had a single malfunction. Ever.

  • @combatant_training_group
    @combatant_training_group3 ай бұрын

    Personally I don’t really care about trigger reset. The lack of “spring” on the reset is a trait common to all M&Ps I’ve shot. Never heard of the roll pin walking out, I’ll be sure to keep an eye on that. My 365 ran well but I personally know two instances of them having out of battery Detonations and going Ka-boom. Good ones and bad ones of all models and brands

    I own just about every version of Sig and M&P and not a single issue with none. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and I respect that completely. A small drop of Loctite with a smidgen of sense can do wonders. "I shouldn't have to do work on a brand new $500+ gun". Yeah, and we shouldn't have to go everywhere armed out of concern of being attacked, but here we are.

    You hit the nail right on the head with the take about Sig. it’s not just the P365 but two years ago I was the armorer NCO for my unit (Army) and our M17s kept going out of battery, the rear sights began popping off when shooting them - our civilian armorers & weapon repair (91F) serviced them multiple times and the reliability still wasn’t there. I had 121 M17s assigned and we had two pelican cases full of deadlined M17s which was over 50% of my inventory. That’s why I have only Glocks, FN’s, HKs & S&Ws for my personal use.
