keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing what you learned!

Every gun made by a factory has a ballistics profile run and recorded, which is forwarded to the ATF, along with the make, model, caliber and serial number. The ATF is also given the tracking information as to which gun dealer sold it and if that's not a backdoor gun registry, you don't exist!

TLR7 HLX is a great light, a total upgrade from the TLR7a. The difference is staggering with both double the candela and lumen output. I carried a Cloud MCH HC for a couple years on duty. Worked great as a tactical handheld flashlight but I always carried an admin light when I needed less output or flood when searching for items. I currently EDC a Surefire EDCL2-T... not a lot of candela(11k) but enough lumens (1,200) to get the job done and a very useable task light on low.

Ben put on a GREAT class....Low Light was a great learning experience

As a 30 year law enforcement officer homicide investigator and firearms instructor. I can confirm a few things. I have never had to interview a person who was shot in the upper torso with a 45 or 40, they were either dead at the scene or when they arrived T the emergency room. On the other hand, I have interviewed numerous people shot in the same manner with 9mm and lesser calibers. I have seen what bullets do to people and their bodies. From the street to the autopsy room. There are a number of reasons handguns stop people. 1 a central nervous system hit 2. Rapid blood loss, causing a severe drop in blood pressure,3 their response to getting shot( this is very dependent on the individual and what their mind set is and what stimulate they are on at the time ) because a certain caliber will kill doesn’t mean it will stop some ant the time they are doing what they were to be shot for. Meaning they can continue their assault on someone until their body starts to shut down. With this said. The overwhelming majority of people are shot in the torso and the bigger hole means faster blood loss. Be it external or internal. The larger diameter rounds are far more effective in causing this. ( unless it’s a central nervous system hit, and that means hitting a target about 3 inches wide,the spinal column). Oh one more thing ballistics gel testing is fine to see how rounds look. But gel does have bones organs and a soul. It can never show how a hell bent person on drugs,alcohol or just adrenaline, will react to being shot.

Do you or anyone know if a Black Scorpion outdoor gear holster for a 5-inch prodigy will fit a stock 1911 Night stalker DS

The whole design concept is based on a fast "flash sight" picture. This shooting comparison should have been done on side by side with a equally experienced shooter using XS Big Dots.

Thank you for this had a hard time with mines but finally got it after watching your video

TLR7 HLX is equal in performance to TLR1 HL, just has shorter run time.

Cool, Thanks for the info.

That’s awesome information. I did not know that, thanks, Craig.

Good looking out on that information

I was under the impression that once you did some sort of modification to your Glock frame it voids the warranty.

Yep…other commenters busted you right off. You would think that you would advocate for the front sight that enables your eyes to see it best as fast as possible. That’s EXACTLY what the Big Dot sights are. Maybe your next $1,500 class can pull out a stack of flash cards with bad guys on it to really hone that effective sight picture. Guess what…you can take your front sight off your 17 and still score kill shots at 10 feet. Those classes are really paying off.

sweet

What ? No A5 system on the Hodge ? That’s what he is know for

Don’t waste your money, it’s a scam, all of the so called “CCW Insurance Providers deny at least 95% of claims, read the small print in each of their contracts. Google Kayla Giles and what happened to her, she had the USCCA Platinum Plan. These are insurance companies that are in the business to make money.

I have never heard of any civilian being involved in a handgun fight at distances of 100 yards (also I’m sure there would be other legal ramifications if there was). The XS Big Dot is faster and easier to find. The XS big dot is 6 MOA. A 6 MOA dot is 1.5” at 25 yards and 3” at 50 yards. Unless your groupings are smaller than that, a smaller front sight is not going to help your shooting in anyway. A smaller sight, at the unrealistic self defense distance of 100 yards, in theory is more accurate because you can see more of the target. However, I would argue acquiring the sight picture takes longer because the sight is smaller. Furthermore even though the big dot would cover a larger portion of the target, it would still provide a clear aiming point and quick target acquisition. Again, unless your groupings at that distance are less than 6” (6MOA) you are not going to be “handcuffed” by the big dot sight.

#CraigSummers for texas, can i already have all my mags preloaded for the LTC proficiency range test so i dont waste time during the test ? i saw an old video of yours and you was doing the LTC test and you kept telling the guy to reload and how many rounds to reload in each mag. canik holds 20 rounds in a mag🤔

Get a load of this retard.

Local Houston trainer closing up shop? Who’s that?

My bad I thought it was Friday today. I thought the red dot class was tomorrow that how exciting. I am😂 😂,I will see you Saturday.

Great video Craig, I will see you in the morning for the red dot pistol class.

This is the Mauser 2 :PX9D 9mm

This is the Mauser 2 :PX9D 9mm

PXD 13 9mm

This channel needs more action. Makes no sense. Appreciate the insight

I have trouble seeing the front sight clearly with my old eyes, selling me on getting the big dot, thanks!

What happens if you hit the same hole in the same place

Thanks ma.

Did this with my 1911 - that was a lot of mag changes haha

Sooo, you kinda argued why one would WANT a Big Dot…

I found out the hard way that they will NOT accept anything except that LTC-104 for proof of training. I have a Ohio peace officer training certificate AND a 12 hour basic pistol training certificate from a NRA class I took. Even though I had proof of way more training than the state requires they wouldn't accept any of that. So I had to pay yet again to take another class and another test just so it was on the LTC-104 document. A completely and utterly silly process in TX considering Texas is now a constitutional conceal carry state. (2024)

I have a issue and I don’t understand why they keep emailing me back saying that they need my 104 I sent it multiple timess and it said sent successfully

Does anyone have any recommendations on a holster? I have the tactical with threaded barrel and I can’t find any information on holsters

That's five minutes of my life I'll never get back.

100% agree! I never understood the need and the reasons given to have one are so silly. I don't live in a video game. I just need my concealed carry on me and that's it.

Wish you well and a speedy recovery Brotha 🤘🤘

Doesn't it ask about your work history and where you live for the last 10 years and all this crap I couldn't remember any of that so I didn't finish filling it out?

Scoring for the test goes as such: 50 yards are shot...

40 SW, 45acp, 357 magnum and 44 magnum stopping power is no myth. I know.

During the 1960s, I met and conversed with three surviving Moro warriors who had immigrated to Guam. They survived three wars while in the Philippine Islands. All three were nearly 90 years old and proudly displayed battle scars. Two of them were captured and imprisoned by American forces. The third eluded capture but finally surrendered after American forces apparently captured his children and threatened to execute them if he didn’t surrender. In their own words as translated by the grandson of the third warrior (a decorated US Marine that served in Korea and Vietnam Nam), these warriors stated that the .45 really was no better than the .38 that it replaced. The two of them that were shot with .45 ACP multiple times said that they gave up due to fatigue and lack of nourishment. They were just tired of fighting over several years. American forces cut off their food sources. They KNEW that Americans would feed them after capture. They said that the success of the .45 was due to the fact that they were weakened from lack food rather than the power of that gun. The warriors said that their will to fight was because of the anger that they felt towards the enemy that was invading their homes.

My id has a different address than my actual address, would that matter or i can just do the application and put the new address on it? Thank you

think Craig did not install alone?

Any other places to purchase that front sight?

What size base width on the front?

What size width one the front sight?

Hey stupid, you don’t know what he can see your generator right? You’re the worst cameraman ever.

Wait…what?!

Wow how have times change - it’s .3 per round now. I assume this isn’t plated ammo like blazer
