So many suspicions confirmed by this video. Much truth here. From the value of dry fire to the really expensive guns not shooting that much better than affordable options. Really liking this series, y'all.

The quantifiable performance difference may not be huge, but expensive guns (?) feel so much better. (A shadow 2 is not an expensive gun, and most of the 320 models used for competition weigh about the same as a shadow 2).

My Dr friend taking me to a USPSA match was one of the best things to happen to me in my life. Used to be LE and shot very well in my department. But my first match I shot opened my eyes. Now I'm just a dude and shoot leaps and bounds better than when I had a badge.

It is extremely motivating seeing Brantley run a Glock 17 like he does. That carry optics meta made it seem like a waste of time even trying to compete with a glock

@dsmarty386 Ай бұрын

there are benefits to running lighter guns that aren't expressed here. Lighter guns are generally easier to transition and gun handling is a little easier. Heavier guns are better at reducing felt recoil and have better stability on long, difficult shots. Close, nasty shooting usually favors a lighter gun. Major props to Brantley on 7th! insane!

I really like this show. Like all the TREX videos for the most part. I'm not a Democrat so opinions that differ from mine aren't a personal tragedy from which I won't recover from and therefore a existential crisis that needs to be stamped out before WE ALL DIE!!! Just some don't apply to me. Equipment I don't use or plan on using. That kind of thing. I've also purchased a few TREX items both in house designed/manufactured and things they sell of others. Always a good experience. Love the in depth videos devoted to those things on the website. But this show is cool and I look forward to seeing new episodes. Good job guys. Appreciate it.

One thing is while a cz shadow 2 is gaming the system a little. It is still nice to see people shoot so well with a gun that isn't some 4k competition only pistol. A cz shadow 2 is still a 700-1200 dollar pistol depending on if you get it used or not. It could be used as a carry gun especially the new compqct version and is still reasonablypriced compared to something like a Stacatto C or SC. Yes, that is 2x what a glock is but it is still in the realm of possibility on what the average person could carry if they wanted to from a price standpoint.

Excellent system though. I want something like it, but thin, and iwb. I already know my favorite guns won't be an option in your lineup, but I am excited to see what you guys put together.

Don't care what you say I hate and I own a 17 and 19 because they are the best option being in commiefornia. If you buy a gen 5 it's all the same crap and Glock is still behind the times. P80 is better you can buy all the parts you want and buy a slide that is already cut for an optic instead of having to send your slide to get cut. Plus the whole Glocks are super reliable it's a mixed bag my 17 had 20 malfunctions about 5 years ago but issue got fixed it's working fine but that's always in the back of my mind.

Just remember, standing up for our nation, culture, and race will almost certainly mean standing up against the standing army , from federal law enforcement all the way down to local police. (If you doubt they're a standing army of the kind we were warned against by the Founding Fathers, look at the advanced military equipment they get from the government. It's obviously not for use against Russia or China.) Enough of this sanctimonious "our valiant boys in blue!" nonsense.

@@victorblack1092 Need a definition? Ok, any group of humans who have shared a common intergenerational environment in which they have reproduced with each other long enough to develop common features that distinguish them from people. e.g. Jews. To deny the concept is to deny the existence of these visible similarities and the equally visible differences between human populations, not to mention the differences among the particular environments in which they evolved. There is only ONE that is endangered. The very one denying it, while everyone else is using it to gain favors. Let that sink in. Your teachers, pastors, and yes, even TREX lied to you.

@@victorblack1092 It is not so simple. The current situation lies primarily on the doorstep of those who own the mass media and fund political campaigns. To add insult to injury they have been making us pay for our displacement through taxes. They have camouflaged their intentions using innocuous PC terminology like “tolerance” in order to create the illusion that nothing is amiss. Is nothing amiss? Jonathan Foster might have something to say on this issue, and certain school districts are basically war zones already. I.e. There are 2 fronts to this war. But if everything is great in your neighborhood I guess it's all right and must be all bunk! Let me turn on some NFL and NBA identify with my sports heroes and Fuhgeddaboudit. We can start by enforcing border policy and if that does not work the victims of geneo-cide and fight however they want. But we do not have much time that is for sure.

@MosDev818 Ай бұрын

The amount of mental gymnastics to justify Glocks in competition is laughable. You can compete with darn near ANY gun. How well you do will depend MOSTLY on your skill as a competitor. Lucas plainly admits that the other guns have an advantage. Completely true. Which is why the top guys compete with better guns. You can be ad good as Brantly if you put in the same amount of work as him and have the same amount of natural talent and athleticism. Or you can put in 95% of the work with a superior gun and be just as good 😉. At this level, it's mostly the competitor. But the gun does matter. It's just funny how desperately Lucas tries to show that the Glock is the best gun ever for everything....

@MosDev818 Ай бұрын

Brantley is the exception not the rule

@TREXARMS Ай бұрын

It’s not mental gymnastics. There’s a reason Glocks are still picked for jobs that involve shooting people. And the same pistol can be used at a high level in competition. You won’t find guys issuing our shadow 2s or full metal Walther pistols for shooting people. The fact that the Glock can do both very well is telling.

@MosDev818 Ай бұрын

@TREXARMS you're missing the point. ANY gun can do both very well with a competent person behind it. P320s are issued to shoot people. So are 1911s. And those too can be formidable competition guns.
