It’s so cool seeing old school gear like this. We’ve come a long way in a relatively short time.

This is like walking through the SEAL Musuem at Fort Pearce but with a Navy SEAL talking about his hardware. Awesome!

This reminds me of the day when I was happy with a 60 lumen Surefire 6P I bought. Even at that time, what was available seemed advanced compared to huge laser sights SAS had on their MP5 in Iranian Embassy incident, if I recall correctly the book I have seen, or huge Maglite stuck on long guns by improvised devices some agencies were using. Thank you.

Love these videos show the progression of what you used. I started out at my first duty station using M16A2 rifles and ended it with the M4. Talked to some guys these days that have never even used iron sights at thier units and did not know how to qual with them. Times sure have changed.

I love these videos. What a great stroll down memory lane. I still fondly remember the uproar about switching to the M9 and qualifying with the M16A1. I've fired a lot of pistols, but none finer than the P226. I have most transitioned to P320 these days. But when I'm feeling nostalgic, I still carry the P226 once in a while. Thank you for the fun and informative video, Coch!!

This series of gear history has been my favorite so far. Very cool watching Coch and Dorr talk shop with that twinkle in their eye and makes me nostalgic for old police gear I used in my early career. Unfortunately, I haven’t been allowed to keep much of it. I do have my original Safariland gun belt, holster and a few other odds n ends. These vids make me want to be sure to keep as much as I can. And you guys are so chill and humble, in spite of (or because of) your knowledge and experience. It’s got me seriously considering taking my son (a Marine out of Pendleton) to one of your training courses for some good bonding time. Keep up the great content guys.

Kickass video!!! Love seeing the transition in tech and gear. It'd be cool to see the same transition in your long gun tech too!!!

i love seeing the evolution of gear over the years!!! you was lucky enough to live it too!!

So interesting to see the evolution. Thank you for showing some of the history.

Thank you for sharing your wealth of wisdom and knowledge, I really love seeing what people had back in the day.

Loved this topic. Amazing to see the progression of equipment. Your collection is fantastic!

Enjoy your videos because you explain a story of constant evolution along what we thought vs what wasn’t as expected and what can be improved. It’d be cool to hear what your personal perspectives and opinion were at the time vs now!

Ya know, retired CB Chief here. My daughter joined the Army, whatever but she said they got no training on the M17. Can't let that go down without a fight. Bought her the gun, a TLR8A light and Safariland ALS holster. She's too cool for intel.

Awesome video. Your delivery is wonderful…. Very interesting and great listening. You’re a great instructor.

Thanks Coch, I really like your delivery, cheers

Very cool to see the old team guns and their evolution through out the years.

that was great. I never would have been able to see the vintage gear if not for this presentation. X300s are so ubiquitous now, it's cool to see where they come from.

THANKS COCH!! GOOD STUFF!!

Awesome video 💯

need more mark coochiyolo

Very illuminating. Your a bright guy

Hey!! 👋🏽 Coch! Welcome back sir! ✊🏽 God bless. ✊🏽🙏🏾

It’s cool to see the progression of pistol mounted lights.

I love the walk-through of the early light-bearing solutions. Man...the old mini-incandescent lights.

"Hey, it's Coch with TacticalHyve, and today, I've got some pistols that I've used in the past..." *pan over table full of 226s* 👍

I'm an 80's soldier and just got back into the gun game about two years ago. Being a 11B the new accessories are nice compared to qualifying with iron sights. I carried a 1911 and may have shot it just a few times. 😎

Outstanding

Thank you for taking us to your short history. It was interesting

Wow amazing

Awesome channel.

It's Awesome, love it.

Seal Dad bringing the Dad Jokes!! Hahah Love seeing the progression of even light technology!

Love it, Coch

I learned the hard way that finding a holster for my mod 2 XD9 with a light was not easy. I like the 6280 Safariland, but recently came across LAG Tactical. Great holster for lights and made in the city I grew up in, Reno Nevada.

Dude always has good humor!

The technology never stops !!

Coch is the man!

Very interesting stuff! Thank you. 🇺🇸👍🏻

Nice real history!!!!!!

THANK YOU FOR POSTING, AND DOING SO WITH ACTUAL EXAMPLES, IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. WE HAD MANY AT THE SAME ITEMS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT JUST A DECADE AFTER YOU GUYS GOT THEM. DID YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THE HK MARK 23 SOCOM PISTOL? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN SHARE ABOUT IT. WARRANT OFFICER ROBBIE ROBERTSON DID NOT THINK VERY HIGHLY OF IT.

Appreciate the history

numero uno!

Hearing that helo in the background mid video made the video

Buenas tardes desde argentina, felicitaciones por los vídeos, ustedes son lo mejor de lo mejor 👍👍🇦🇷

Great video, interesting bit of history. So, what handgun/light combo would you run with today given a choice of old and new?

I have a laser products/surefire light from the old days myself. Trading a giant maglight for the super small light that could stay on my belt at all times was very cool

I really enjoy the history behind evolution!!🇺🇸

They put a man on the moon before they figured out you could put WHEELS on a suit case! 😂

Classic P-Series, now we’re talking.

Everyone's doing their rundown of the pistol set up, do you guys have or intend to make this video detailing the lights / ir blasters mounts for rifles with nods

Surefire X200 was their first rail mounted handgun light.

As far as civilian world self defense, always referred to mounted lights as bullet catchers. Time and place for everything. Personally, prefer handheld higher lumen that can draw fire away from vitals if actually needed. Cool look through time and progression though.

Pretty bright indeed.

I heard a lot did not like Berettas , I carry S&W MP 9mm , here in Canada handguns need to have 4.25 barrel lengths

In my day we kept a jar of mission specific fireflies taped to a stick duct taped to the barrel…

We're light years ahead of my era.

When did the led technology really start to become available? At that time was the difference between led and fluorescent as big as it is now? Or was it closer and not such a wide gap?

it seems every 10 years there's a huge jump in technology.

Still curious how you still have all your team guns.?

Anyone know what kind of gun case that is?I could use something like that.

I wish I was issued a light for my M18, but no, the DoD orders these pistols that have rails for lights and can have optics mounted onto the slide and for whatever reason the Air Force is just like "Nah we're not gonna take advantage of these upgrades."

🐜

10:42 - Incoming "dad joke"...

Do know what light they r using w GLOCK 19?

Rad

May society fall so you may operate once more

I heard a second amendment attorney point out something about lights on carry guns. Weapon lights are nice to have, but they can get you into significant trouble, as you have to point a gun at someone to use them..... Make sure that your using a standalone primary light to identify someone.

Man, you must have so much outdated gear...if you kept it all

Tacticunts put lights on pistols. So stupid.
