So, I have actually shot something Clint hasn't! The M134, as a Helicopter Weapons Specialist in the Army that was old hat. Rockin' an AH-1 onto its heels doing synchronization fire on a 50-meter line, a six second burst will dig a hole so you can submerge a 55 gallon drum into a backstop berm. Is more fun than you can imagine!

[@douglasbaily9566]

Great podcast. Thanks for making these so entertaining.

[@jasonneucere8886]

This was a great podcast. Good fun. I'm starting to like them more.

[@smokaFnJ]

This is why I enjoy CF Podcast…GR8 conversation about 2A & other common sense!

[@codyjenn8785]

Thank you Clint and classic firearms for the awesome podcast

[@richardgordon2581]

Nice content, very interesting. I would watch more of these.

[@imme7961]

Good to see how much Clint knows about guns.

[@desperado8605]

Great podcast. If you guys want to shoot long range we're doing a 1 mile match in March. In Indiana near Crane look up reaching-out-to-a-mile on practice score

[@CStoryUR_realtor]

You guys have the best content. 👌🏿 now if I can just get my named called on a giveaway everything will be even better. Keep at it CF! 👌🏿🤙🏿👊🏿

[@KevinFletcherFamily]

Enjoyed the conversation. As far as the giveaways go... I live in Florida and would like to see more giveaways under $5,000 due to our state restrictions. I think it's AWESOME you have the high-value giveaways! I just cannot participate. 😞

[@Mrgunsngear]

Alex is good people

[@charlesjackson9322]

Awesome pod cast. During the cast, there was a discussion about suppressor wait times. I have been told that the Silencer Central has reduced the wait by several months. My FFL uses this service and swears by it.

[@shadyp-zv3uf]

HK VP9 is one of my serious gotta have one day dream pistols

[@ninjawannabe87]

am I the only one thinking a giveaway or a loadout series where three members of the gang choose some guns to put together and kind of of compete with them. My ideas for these said loadouts and giveaways of such are as follows: 1) a loadout competition between three members and maybe include Kaya in this one (I think I remember one where he did when SAR USA sponsored a build series, but its been a while, so I could be wrong), where each contestant at CF choose a loadout of 2 (primary and sidearm) maybe 3 guns (rifle/carbine more precise and/or farther reaching than the next two, shotgun and sidearm) and there could be a theme more beyond simple branding, but that could be included as well. 2) a theme to the giveaways or build series; yes I know you've sort of had them with them being ARs, concealed carry, or whatever you decided but I was thinking something a bit more recognizable (to me anyway, in all honesty this is a "what I'd like to see" thing). Some theme ideas are: - Past, present, and future - one contestant could have a loadout of weapons of an older era (world war 2 M1 Garand and 1911, or lever-action and a revolver style guns, or just weapons that have an older look to them), another could have more current looking weapons (AR, AK, or a glock), the other could have some futuristic space-gun looking weapons (bullpups, thompson or HK USC tricked out to look like an M41A pulse rifle from Aliens or other guns that have a space gun look to them) - Action hero theme - if you want to avoid copyright strikes you could just have a loadout themed after the signature loadout styles of certain action heroes that others might have tried to copy; like dual-wielding pistols, SMGs or shotguns (which might be an awesome idea for a build series and giveaway in and of itself), or two-handed weapons (machine gun, assault rifle, and shotgun-toting protagonists), or pistoleers of some kind (action heros that had a single pistol of some kind as their weapon of choice from dirty Harry Calahan's 44 magnum to Robocop's Auto9 [Beretta M93r with special compensator] take your pick), they don't have to be movies, you can include games as well. - combat role loadouts - not necessarily a military role, but maybe what a law enforcement, militia or some modern adventurer would choose for a primary and secondary; for example, a frontiersman loadout where the long gun and sidearm are chambered in the same cartridge, compared to what a sniper or designated marksman might have for a primary and secondary. y'all know what other roles there could be and probably know what is more standard issue and what members of said role would have for a primary and secondary. 3) 308 bullpup battle rifle giveaway/build series - have either the MDRX from desert tech, the Tavor 7 from IWI, and/or the RFB from Kel-tec, all with the longest barrel you can get for them with extended hand-guards of some kind if possible. I'm a little tired to think of more, what do y'all think whether the people at CF or anyone perusing the comment section and happens to see this

[@AleksanderLydkunst]

Btw, Alex’s COD operator Mara is also in CODMobile😎 imo she is one of the most badass female characters in the game 💪🏼💪🏼

[@MrDJPahl]

Good conversation. Has me looking at upgrade options for my CCW. Would love to see an M1 Garand giveaway.

[@thedude883]

If you could go back in time, to 2004, you could watch me give one away. Who knew that they would jump so high in price?

[@marklevy4584]

.40 S&W is not a lot of fun to shoot in small handguns. I have an old Star Firestar in .40S&W, and it's got a 3.4" barrel. The gun is about the size of a .380! I was hoping to get a full size, say a 1911 w/ 5", but found a SA EMP 4, hoping the longer barrel would help... It doesn't!

[@shadyp-zv3uf]

I think my favorite is something I haven't shot yet... but it would be a full send belt fed.... Larry's STG44 was an amazing pick!!!

[@tarbaby315]

what Alex is describing with her finger cramping on the VP9 is because the trigger finger is "used to" traveling past the break when the gun fires. There is that small space after pulling the trigger that allows your finger to relax and go from pulling against the trigger and the body's change in direction from pulling to release. In her case it sounds like when she is done pulling the trigger, the finger immediately hits the "wall" so however many lbs of pressure is needed to pull the trigger is immediately being pushed against that "wall" there is no space for the finger to release pressure and reset the trigger. thus her finger is not just pulling to the shot break at say 5lbs of pressure, but she is then continuing to press at 5lbs of pressure for that "additional time" past the shot break, even if that is a fraction of a second, it is likely at least 2x the amount of time her finger is pressing that "weight" IOW - traditional or typical trigger is.... pull-shot break - release pressure in "gap" after the shot - allow trigger to move forward - trigger reset - repeat. In her case it is pull-shot break - finger pressing against "wall" - allow trigger to move forward - trigger reset - repeat at least that is what it sounds like is happening.

[@dwaynecandy9115]

Great questions and answers 👍

[@raycastillo7981]

Great pod cast awesome information

[@joshs4515]

Alex, try hockey tape on the grip of the FNX. It's still grippy, but doesn't shred your skin.

[@tarbaby315]

Gemtech 22lr integrated barrel for the S&W 15/22 using the Gemtech subsonic 22lr ammo is whisper quiet .....

[@WestPat23]

Nice surprise to find Larry Vickers as the Bonus Content

[@kimshimkus6982]

Awsome pod cast

[@MrADjam5]

Hey Clint. This was a good one. Enjoyed it. How about maybe getting some more women on the podcast and range? Like HeatherLynn and BroJaq( Jackie Carrizosa). These ladies are affiliated with Black Rifle Coffee Co. and are bad ass women who know their way around a gun. How about Lena Michulek? She is as bad azz as they come. Cut from great stock. Get her Dad on...Jerry Michulek! That would be awesome.

[@JH-vl6eh]

“And now you know, and knowing is half the battle!”

[@mrbudmanfl6956]

[@mikeu9770]

[@ericraymond1274]

I don't like the fnx either Alex! Nor sure what's up with my grip on those, but I'll just randomly hit the mag release and dump mags in the dirt 😅

[@sillyrukus]

Marlin 45-70 is amazing

[@troyclancy406]

[@shadyp-zv3uf]

[@jeremiah7855]

[@mikey3071]

Hey Guys ! I'd like to ask why Everytime I tweet my entry it never gives me the point's..

[@PaperSlayer93]

I can't believe anyone in the 2A community wouldn't want a free classic firearm from Classic Firearms!

[@n.u.t.y.]

Ryan - can you please have everyone stop wearing ball caps/truckers caps that hide or shadow their eyes? Or maybe add lighting and better camera angles. As they say, the eyes are the windows to the soul....

[@easytooremembergmail]

[@kimshimkus6982]

What are the conditions of those Coracons rifles

[@irwinguevara935]

Gun talk us cool you gun gods

[@AmericanDaddyOh]

LOL, obviously none of you have ever fired my favorite carry piece. Try out a S&W 340PD. It's a scandium frame J frame five shot hammerless revolver that ways 13oz empty. Then load it up with 158gr .357 magnum.

[@coreyg7859]

NICS specifically ask if you are an unlawful user of Marijuana, if you have a medical card by federal law you are and as such, should not pass the background check if you answer truthful, and lying on a federal form is illegal as well. But hey now under gender they list Non-Binary, so yea. They basically give a second question to commit prudery with.

[@edfortin8837]

The podcast said ask me anything. Do fish fart?

[@notyoaveragejosay1577]

Yeah fed boy

Subsonic 300BO out of a 8” barrel will defeat 3A.

[@liamhernandez9329]

My comment

[@failureface1837]

I might be wrong but Clint looks stoned 😂…

[@cotyc6691]

Suppressors for people with autism should follow under the Disability act.

[@michaelwishon5848]

Once a Fed boy, always a fed boy.

[@shadyp-zv3uf]

lmao 🤣

[@nukiesduke6868]

Jesus Alex is hot. I'd hit that like a home run in the 9th inning with bases loaded being down by 3.

[@shadyp-zv3uf]

G34.... And Marlin 45/70...?!? hmm interesting

[@skrow3180]

Alex owns a tactical edge comrade. They suck, don’t do it.

[@UnionGuyTactical]

42069……lmao

[@davidjeep6543]

yes JUST put goon tape on pistol an JUST skeletonize the hi-point an the world is a better place

[@SadShane]

Alex should not be allowed to wear a hat. Why would you let her cover up her beauty like that??? Seriously.....

[@paulosanderson785]

29:51 - Sorry, Kaya. You lost me there. Firearms are designed to fire a projectile. Killing is a moral choice. You just parroted the favorite talking point of gun grabbers. If the "purpose" of a gun is to kill, you've imparted a moral attribute to it and given them all the moral authority they think they need to justify banning them. Be smarter. Don't say stupid things like that.

[@jaredcole5818]

really hate seeing larry turn into a walking billboard
