First thing I notice was the EGA. Nevertheless I hope you spend the holidays and new years safe brother

Had their UH1 with a 6X magnifier for years now on my AR. Love it, and 1000s rounds later it still runs great no issues!

glocks are not for me but i also have no problem with it. use what u want. i aint ur dad. but saying "complaining about triggers means you dont shoot enough" is not true. u shoot enough and youll be able to figure out what trigger you prefer. try shooting 10k rounds a month

Funny cuz cats will have 20 guns, expensive ones, 0 ammo, Chinese dot and mount. If they just focused on mastering a few guns, they’d realize you can’t buy the most accurate fastest gun, that comes with 1000’s of dollars of ammo training with the gun you own.

Too real😂

Biggest annoyance, when new gun comes out and every guntubers has a video out on same day. I miss Paul Herrera. Just data you be the judge.

DOPE

back up headphones? I do that too but just for the gym. Nothing is worse than getting to the gym and forgetting earbuds/headphones 😵‍💫 Edit: just got caught up to where you talked about the why...fair. For me its about the volume level plus I only use them for work calls and the gym, earbuds that is. I'm an android guy so don't know about airpods. My samsungs, googles and other ones work well sound and comfort wise.

I used to like Vortex years ago... until I started having issues with the optics as well as seeing Vortex optic fail more than any other company at classes. Especially their lower end magnified optics. They top of the line stuff is GTG. However, you're gonna pay out the ass for that. They've built their brand off of their warranty, and now everyone pretty much does the same warranty, so they've got nothing really going for them. I refuse to buy anymore stuff from them.

I’d die on the defender hill

I bought a Strikefire and a 3x magnifier before I was supposed to deploy to Jordan instead of Aimpoint, that was like 7 years ago and I used it on that m4, my Stag Arms and my PSA Sabre, super easy to zero. I put a cheap Crossfire on my M1A and it too zeroed pretty quick. I also have a Spitfire 3x for a cheaper alternative to an ACOG and that thing is great well worth the money plus it was on sale so......🤷🏽‍♂️

I absolutely love guns....but this is kind of confusing...lol I own multiple vehicles, I didn't stockpile gas , or build a garage or buy all the accessories for said vehicles before I bought them...lol Buy the gun first then buy the ammo and accessories and storage best suited for your needs and said firearm that you own. There's many accessories and cases that work great for some firearms, but are horrible for others... The smart move is to buy the main firearm" first, then match the accessories to said firearm as you go !!!

I like the green and brown

Your Eotech is too far forward, Never bridge an optic over where the rail and upper receiver interfaces unless it’s monolithic, That Eotech over time will move and not keep zero you just haven’t shot it enough to find that out yet.

If by my chance a new gun owner sees this please invest in ear pro I’m 26 years old and I can’t hear shit I have ruined my ears for life and it haunts me constantly

their warranty is top notch, lost a screw to my sparc red dot which is totally my fault i took it off the mount waiting for a new one in the mail and lost a screw in that time. emailed them fully ready to pay for a new set of screws which was fine with me, but they let me know it was covered under their VIP warranty and they’d send some new screws my way. And they didn’t just send one to replace the one i’d lost they sent two full sets. that’s how you take care of a customer and make sure you secure their business

I have several Vortex products that I purchased back 6-8 years ago. The two Strike Eagles and two Venoms work fine for their intended uses. The UH1 I need to send back, it won't lock down tight enough on the rail it's attached to. They're all decent optics, but not really for hard use. I recently picked up a Vortex Defender CCW as it was on sale for half off. Don't have anything to put it on yet, I may get my SA XDM10 cut for it since it's one of my CCW pistols.

Lol at least your training my friend🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾

Their micro 3x is pretty great! I recently changed to a 1.93 height, contacted them and they sent me a 1.93 magnifier spacer for free the same week.

Thoughts in the Strikefire 2? Been seeing it on sale for $99 and considering buying it

The best advice on here is having a dedicated area for your cleaning supplies, and a bench. Completely agree

Yeah the holster thing is a problem. We all run into it. But I don't recommend your approach. Try to go somewhere where you can fit your firearm in the holster you were interested in. Don't just blindly pick one out and have $500 wasted in a drawer

Compare them to the PsA dagger micro comes w/ 15 round mags

I'm between Gideon, Holosun, Swampfox for my RMR Glock Clone.. 🚬👀✔️💯

every other company has lifetime warranties, but small print says only 3-5 years warranty on electronics. Yes even Sig's Iron Clad warranty. Vortex might not be the "Best", but vortex having a true, no proof of purchase, lifetime warranty is great. I could pass down a red dot to a great nephew 70 years for now and if the electronics breaks, he gets a repair or the latest gen replacement for free. hard to argue with that now a days

I wouldn’t touch vortex stuff until their new defender line of pistol red dots came out. Once I saw how much better those were it opened my eyes to their other improvements. They also offer INCREDIBLE customer service!

Same here. This year alone I got 4 Vortex optics. Defender ccw gen 2, ST, XL and Strike eagle 1-8 FFP… They really came strong in resent. And I’m very Pleased 🫡🫡. Nice video..

Defender CCW blows. Had two SHIT the bed function wise. Pawned it. Magnifiers and scopes are good but they’re so behind on pistol dots.

I need a green dot from vortex

Great video, I heard the same thing about Vortex. My friend recently bought a spotting scope and I was checking it out and used it. It felt really nice and it was really clear looking through it. Back then, my friends only used Leupold and Trijicon, Wiess was out of their price point.

I have a venom vortex on my edc

How is your camera setup bro?

Their Razor LPVOs are amazing,the only other Vortex optic I have experience with was the Sparc red dot.the Sparc wasn’t anything special but at the price,it was about what I expected it to be

I went the Holosun route on my build someday ill post a video of it.

Vortex used to stick now they're 💯 a quality optic. Cylee is going in the same direction. Cylee is producing an optic 💯 as good, if not better than Holosun out of the same factory where Holosun is manufactured. I have 3 Cylee optics now, and I'd never trade them for a Vortex or Holosun.

Darius, how much does your rifle weigh bro? I'm in the process of figuring out how to keep a decent weight and the right equipment.

I think Vortex is legit now... I just got a strike eagle lpvo 1-6x24 and I love it! Also, I had an issue with one of their Sparc red dots and they sent me a brand new one for free. Customer service gets an A+!!

Barrel and hatchet 🪓 made a great video on this micro 3x definitely punches above its weight class!

One of the best videos I had ever seen about training and acquiring muscle memory and correcting bad habits in your shooting technique. Thanks Darius!

Squeeze the trigger. Don't pull it. Do not anticipate the break.

The slide is a lower reciprocating mass and the internal rails allow for the center of mass to be lower while lightening up the overall weight of the slide. Less mass jumping back towards you makes for a lower recoil impulse.

AWESOME VIDEO! Thank You so very much for taking the time to do this video, EXCELLENT POINTS I will start to use when I get a red dot, have a Merry Christmas but most of all PLEASE stay healthy and safe out there!

Im not a glock guy myself but you made some fair points.

Got mine for my p365 when they first came out. Definitely worth the cost. I aleady had the holstera and grip modules for a macro so radian making it flush fit perfectly for macro holsters and grip modules was all more a reason to get it.

I said the same damn thing today lol.. wow Glock is King Glock is the standard.

Palmetto state armory, specifically aac, is some of the most consistent cheap bulk ammo. There are more expensive rounds, but with aac 5.56 I can group about 2-4” at 100-150yds

All of u are really blind. Gun safety bro u just got a gun pointed at u the whole time

Add the Johnny Glock vex trigger and this gun is over the top
