Thumbs up on your comment. I agree.

Yes! His videos are the most information-dense I've ever seen and completely unambiguous.

That's why I would take advice from Paul over pretty much any other KZfaqr who has similar content. No ego, just straight forward information. He doesn't try to pass himself off as Rambo, Super Secret Squirrel Agent Orange, Delta Ranger SEAL Recon Commando action guy. And as a plus, he's entertaining.

Agreed. It's nice to learn from a guy like this.

Real Honesty with real first hand knowledge

@@russetwolf13 : I agree.

It’s particularly applicable to people who live in countries where firearms are less common, far more regulated and lacking in options regarding training. For instance in Australia you need to be a member of a club and compete to own a handgun. If you aren’t a professional shooter you can’t own a semi automatic long gun As a hunter you can only own a bolt action, lever action or pump action rifle. Or a single/double barrel or lever/straight pull action shotgun Furthermore you can only own a calibre that is suited to the game you wish to hunt, like a .22 for rabbits, .357 magnum for goats or a .308 for camels. You can’t own a firearm for self defence but there are situations where it may be legally acceptable to use one in that regard Having a good understanding of the expansive range of firearms and their use and application is a good place to start if you want to gain ownership of one and this video is great

Paul does speak a little slower. He chooses his words with care and uses them very precisely. Something which people who've overcome their speech impediment often do.

He also considers the way he pronounces words like barrel as "burral" a speech impediment.

Paul has to be one of the best if not the best spoken civilian situational firearm defense training channels on KZfaq, period. Like a Glock trigger pull is the same every time, so is Paul's attitude and demeanor. Just remember, he is a trained professional. He has only good advice to offer, and some serious accuracy burned into his muscle memory.

I've never met anyone with only one gun who I would consider to be very good. Usually if someone puts in the time to practice and uses their guns, they realize that different guns have advantages and disadvantages. This is one of those silly "wise" sayings that gets spread and people for some reason believe it.

All we need is to read To Kill a Mockingbird to see that man in Atticus Finch. A 50 year old gentle man whom made no boast or brag about his years as an award winning marksman had need to pull out his old reliable when good honest people were threatened. The man held back until the very last second when it came to shooting a rabid dog, not because of inaction but because he truly felt anything on the other side of his gun deserved a fair shake. Or, as its so wonderfully put in Dr. Who: Demons run when a good man goes to war.

@@CovidLover I've met 3... one was an Uncle of mine who was extraordinarily good with a Lee-Enfield SMLE he'd bought after the war, just like the one he used in Service, and on the Company shooting team. For fun they'd shoot 1 foot square plates at 800 yards. 1 was a cousin of my dad's who possessed exceptional skill with a beaten-up Winchester '94 in .30-30 who was unusually proficient in knocking multiple whitetail deer down in succession as they ran through his favourite coulee as the dogs sent them through ( his record being 4 bucks with 4 shots at a bouncing run (( we thought he was in trouble firing a rapid signal)) but by the time we all ran there, he'd dragged all 4 together and was sitting on a fallen log having a smoke like nothing had happened... and an old Copper worked Metro Division Toronto P.D. from Huntsville who carried an old Savage 99 in .300 Savage who could hit anything he wanted, any time he wanted, offhand, near or far. A box of 20 cartridges lasted him 5 years: 3 to sight in every year and 1 to drop his deer/ bear/ moose. Those were men to respect for their skill, and definitely not to cross. It's not about limitations. It's about the skill to make a tool exceed it's designed purpose from specialization to multipurpose or beyond.

I see the 30-30 like a medium weight boxer, not too heavy or light.

That's because the 30-30 is designed to dump a massive amount of energy into the target upon impact. Its not super accurate or fast, but if you hit something under 150 yards with it, it will do fatal damage. It's like the difference between a bus(30-30) hitting something at 60mph vs a corvette(insert your sexy caliber here) hitting something at 120mph.
