Budget firearms definitely have their place, especially with the rise in the market of the Turkish manufacturers. Quality is available now at lower prices than in times past.

I made a couple of follow up shorts about this. I contacted Ruger and had them send me a new magazine latch spring. I installed that and it fixed the problem. The issues I had with feeding seemed to clear up after breaking the gun in. I still ended up getting rid of it after that though.

Patience, grasshopper. All things in due time.

I have had the gun for probably 7 years now and I can count how many times I have shot it on my fingers. In fact, I haven't shot it again since I made this video almost 2.5 years ago. That is the downside of having so many guns and constantly buying more to test. There just isn't time to get around to everything you have. I think it was sighted for the 45 Colt. The problem as I pointed out and demonstrated is that all the different rounds you shoot through the gun have different points of impact. No matter which one you choose, the others will be off. Even at 10 yards there was a huge difference.

@@leoguy1609 I have shot hard cast through it for years. I clean my gun every time I shoot it.

A spotter definitely helps. At 80+ yards it can be hard to see where your shots are going.

This comment is all over the place. I am not sure what abortion even has to do with this video. However, you seem concerned about what Jesus would do, so do you honestly think Jesus would condone the murder of a child in the womb? The 2nd amendment was absolutely written by men; however, they did so to ensure that the government didn't infringe upon a right that was God-given. That is the right of self-defense. As for whether Jesus would carry guns, how do you know what he would do? Jesus' disciples carried swords. There is nothing that says that Jesus didn't at some point as well. Even if he didn't, he clearly did not forbid his disciples to do so.

It did not appear to be an issue with the ejector.

@@metallicstorm7 I am not known for reading instructions. I think I know what you are talking about now, though. I believe I tried that. I will look at it again when I get the chance.

Hope it helps. I'm guilty of the same. Great video!

@@Sirgromulus Yes. The picture I put on the screen was from their website

I'm a safety guy as I've always trained to disengage the safety while drawing. I have a G43 and sig320xl and am always subconsciously looking for it while drawing as I've carried a shield for years. In some instances yes it's a novice thing however it could also come down to muscle memory from years of using a safety. It is also one more step an individual has to take if it becomes a ground game and they are unfamiliar with my firearm (if they somehow got it away from me, say getting jumped). Now carrying with no round in the chamber that you could argue is a novice trait, racking the slide in a tense situation is no good as it can very easily be misracked with sweaty palms or just sloppy in the heat of the moment. Advise highly against this unless you are Jerry Miculek speed and proficiency. Once again training can make anything possible but always remembering in the back of your mind you are only going to perform at 40% of your best in a high adrenaline scenario.

I think $400 is probably going to be the bottom unless it's used. Seems like prices are not going in a downward direction on anything.

@@user-xp5vi6oy4g I will continue to work on that. I have been trying to get the levels more even lately.

@@johndilday1846 I felt that way as well a few years ago, but decided to let it go. Also, since I am doing a review channel now, I am not just buying guns for myself, but to test. There are a lot of people interested in their products, so I figured I should try them out. However, I really like that Garrison I bought and this one ain't too bad either. I haven't kept any of their polymer guns though.

@@howardkahn4330 I love revolvers and often carry them, but a good semi-auto today is reliable. If they weren't, then the police wouldn't be using them. I have put quite a few rounds through this gun. In fact, AI just did a thousand rounds test with it a couple of months ago, and it was flawless with the exception of certain ammo brands with hard primers.

@@Rob-xj3xh Those issues were generally with older guns. You have to remember that Smith and Wesson were the original 357 Magnum revolvers. The other companies that came along got to learn from their problems when designing their guns. The 686 is not a K frame though. It is an L frame, which was designed for the purpose of handling a steady diet of 357 magnum. Even the new K frames that S&W makes now have a beefed up forcing cone to prevent that issue.

@@brownhipower I had not heard that. They aren't marked as anything but Springfield, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. I will have to look into that.

That's what I heard, the frame, slide and barrel are from Tisas.

@@Cap5332 I have been trying to research that today and so far I have not found anything online but rumors. I can't verify it. Neither Springfield nor Tisas state that. Per Springfield's website it is "made in the USA", but that can obviously have different meanings. There used to be a silverware company here in Jackson TN that would buy forks/spoons/knives from China separated into handles and tops. They would put the two pieces together and then sell them as "made in the USA" because that apparently fit the legal definition. I saw one guy online in a forum stated that they were forged in Turkey, but machined in IL; however there is no evidence that I can find that this is true.

@@Preacher357 Would like to know for sure, one way or another since I own the SA35.

@@johnlabree6286 I had not heard that. They aren't marked as anything but Springfield, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. I will have to look into that.

Supposedly the frame, slide and barrel are from Tisas. I haven't verified that.

50% domestic content I believe is the requirement for US Made (could be mistaken). Google is a bunch of damn hypocrits. Since YT is still running targeted ads for gun related products during my viewing are they going to delete their own division?

They are 100% Made in the USA, one of my local dealers went on a factory tour and they make the SA35 alongside their 1911's

@thomasward00 Their 1911 frames and slides don't come from Brazil anymore?

@@curtisbarrow7650 I didn't have any P11 mags. I had some SCCY mags, which are almost the same thing. I just called Keltec and they sent another mag, which seemed to fix the problem.

@@shermn8 I don't reckon I have ever encountered one yet. I will keep an eye out though.

@@joracer1 I mistakenly assumed it was still on when I started the video. It had always been right on before. I must have hit it against something and knocked it off after the last time I shot it. Rather than starting the video over I figured I could wing it. It didn't help that the lens was fogging up either. At some point I intend on putting a better scope on it. Who knows when that will be though.
