Amazing job Nils. I've been shooting a Canik since I found USPSA in 2017. One of the great things about this sport is the day before the match, you actually walked a few of these stages with me and shared ideas. An almost laughable idea in any other sport., that a National Champion level competitor would treat a scrubby-ass nobody as a peer at the competition.

[@NilsJonasson]

That’s absolute one of the best aspects of practical shooting. Happy to help when I can. Hopefully we came up with useful stage plans together.

[@bangbangping-uspsa]

@@NilsJonasson It was great! Also I swapped from a 13lb to a 14lb recoil spring in my Rival based on our conversation and it helped avoid some malfunctions I had been getting.

[@NilsJonasson]

@@bangbangping-uspsa Yeah the 13lb spring is just to darn light to reliably hold it in battery.

[@brianjarrell9203]

Are we not going to address how slick that draw is? Zero wasted motion, and smooth as glass.

[@bhoover14]

The most impressive aspect of Nil’s shooting style is that he never seems to be in a rush. Slow is smooth and smooth as fast. 🤙💯🔥

[@NilsJonasson]

I mean, you can also be smooth and slow😂 Now sometimes people like to incorporate movements that aren’t efficient but look flashy. Sometimes that works, sometimes not.

[@bhoover14]

@@NilsJonasson agreed, and well said!

[@tylerraymond1868]

Man that is inspiring! Awesome shooting! Would love to see more videos walking through your practice routines and things like that! You definitely have a new fan!

[@NilsJonasson]

Thanks! I’ll see about posting a little more frequently.

[@NilsJonasson]

First KZbin video in awhile

[@TCSA]

right after we talked about it you follow up with a banger video.

[@NilsJonasson]

@@TCSA LOL! But this is just shooting.

[@Jaygoesin]

@@NilsJonasson Amazing job! I purchased my rival partially because of you! What belt and mag setup are you running good sir? Or can you suggest a setup for someone going into their first competition? Amazing shooting as always

[@NilsJonasson]

@@Jaygoesin Thanks Jay, I run the factory rival holster mounted to a Boss hanger. My mag pouched are from Zeus Practical, which work pretty well. My belt is a canik/CR speed style over under belt. Double Alpha makes some solid belts and mag pouches, so you can’t go wrong there. CR Speed also has mag pouches that will work perfectly well for slightly less money. Hope that helps.

[@Jaygoesin]

@@NilsJonasson thank you champ! This is perfect

[@TheGuidanceINeed]

How inspiring. Im waiting for my canik rival to arrive, and can't wait to start competing. Your videos have definitely helped me a lot. Thank you.

[@NilsJonasson]

Thanks. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

[@glockenkemper]

Nils you the man, man. Wonderful performance!

Thank you John.

Thanks! Will do!

[@alonsoarellanocarryoptics]

Thank you for posting your video Nils and congrats on 1st place… you kicked our butts last year at independence match at PRG 😊 but it was awesome seeing you shoot

[@brantleymerriam]

Awesome job man! It was a pleasure shooting with you.

[@driver8M3]

You made it look much easier than it felt when I was shooting!

[@NilsJonasson]

Thanks. There were some difficult stages at CO Nats last year.

[@trdxyr]

Excellent work Nils!

[@James_Cantrell_Shooting]

Thanks James.

[@oghuzkhan5117]

Thats why everyone likes CANIK. ITs reliable every single time.

[@Osprey1994]

It's not though 😂. Watched a guy dealing with his at the range I work at, and it was choking on whatever he was shooting, didn't look or sound like a gamer load either.

[@Myknickers]

Incredible!! 🙌🏾

[@muratbeyribey9508]

Canik on fire 🔥 🔥🔥. Nice shooting 👏👏👏

[@NilsJonasson]

Thanks.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Awesome shooting that canik is impressive!!

Thanks! Yes it is.

See you there!

Awesome ! My Rival Darkside just shipped today - looking forward to checking it out

Hope you enjoy it!

@@NilsJonasson No doubt ! Will def hit some matches with it and use this video for some inspiration 👍🏼

[@NilsJonasson]

@@stovepipe8966 Heck yeah! And the all black rival does look sexy.

[@bshadrick]

Met ya a few years back at nationals down in frostproof. Was my first match ever ( I'm a super senior), and had a rough time on a stage and walked off and you teased about a popper I had a hard time with. I liked you razzed an old rookie like that. Hope to meet you again someday. You should come down and shoot Frank's Florida Open. Bill

[@NilsJonasson]

I’m sure I’ll be back in Florida for something.

[@michaelmcmillan2776]

Very smooth. Impressive

[@NilsJonasson]

Thanks!

[@FFD122007]

That’s a smooth running gun wish I could get mine to run like that

[@BPShootingReloading]

Great Shooting. I just picked up a Rival before christmas. Love it so far

[@tylerjamalshoots]

Certified beast.

[@fishalcoholic]

The Canik is running like a scalded cat. And you aren't exactly stuck in the mud either :) Good seeing you! Congrats!!

[@NilsJonasson]

She does the job well.

[@fragrancejourney01]

Amazing job.Congrats

[@NilsJonasson]

Thank you!

[@celalvarez6597]

Congrats. Amazing performance. Will you be posting videos of your Limited and Production 2022 Nationals? Love seeing you and Canik on top.

[@prgundefense]

On fire nils!

[@doc2936]

You make the rival look so smooth. Your relaxed shooting stance how you bend back at the hips and knees in imoressive to maintain recoil on quick shots.

[@vmanshooting]

So this is how the pros do it

[@tuffshot1584]

Smooth

[@ysfhc]

Hi from Turkey Nils, congratulations. Which gun will you prefer at competition, Rival-S or Rival?

[@NilsJonasson]

I'm liking the new Rival-S a lot, but the Rival is an awesome pewpew.

[@rugaroux7181]

RO walking in front of the firing line (1:40) made me pucker up a little bit

[@bestjobieverhad9584]

Switched the fuck on

[@artierodriguez8334]

Great course run!!!! What Canik where you running?

[@NilsJonasson]

I’m running the SFX Rival.

[@artierodriguez8334]

@@NilsJonasson Thank you for the reply. My petite 16yo daughter uses that same model to participate in IDPA from time to time. She loves it and won't let Daddy run it on an IDPA course. 😆 I've seen that Canik came out with the Rival-S so I may pull the trigger on that model. Have a great day, and keep bringing the content.

[@KAIJINN.6]

Have you shot the Mete series in a match?

[@NilsJonasson]

Oh yeah. Great shooting pistol. The Mete and Rival actually share basically the same frame.

[@biker1958]

Were you shooting the regular Canik Rival or the S version?

[@NilsJonasson]

This was before the S came out, so this was the original Rival.

[@biker1958]

@@NilsJonasson Nils appreciate you answering, thanks!

[@MACStrengthPerformance]

How can a newbie get involved and try one of these competitions in Ohio?

[@NilsJonasson]

Two good options would be going to USPSA directly and learning more about the sport at uspsa.org Or checkout matches local to you using Practiscore which is the scoring system most matches utilize. practiscore.com/search/matches Observe a match and ask questions. You’ll find that most people are happy to help new shooters.

[@sethrich5998]

Man that’s awesome… but who’s the Unclassified shooter taking 5th surrounded by GM’s? I kinda chuckled seeing that.

[@RifleJess]

Bout time…

[@NilsJonasson]

🤫

[@burninglimb]

Can't tell if that's an old SFX or a Rival with the slide cuts in it?

[@NilsJonasson]

It’s the Rival.

[@Jaygoesin]

Are you excited for the rival S? I bought the darkside not too long ago but I’m wondering if it’s worth getting the steel version or just work on getting better with the polymer one

[@apet1572]

what holster is that you're using

[@NilsJonasson]

Factory holster mounted on a boss hanger.

[@samkamyafes2139]

how so stable

[@necummins8696]

Well if you work for Canik you should tell them to make stainless steel barrel for The darkseid rival. Not everybody likes grey and gold. They should have made the dark side black and chrome
