Don't Buy The Girsan Disruptor Until You See This

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Well best I can say is I gave it a shot. I think its overpriced for what it is for budget import. Your Thoughts?

[@donaldallen4257]

Quick question can you do a video on mounting the optics onto the slides I’m having trouble with the tti and the m&p 2.0 carry comp. Also happy new year brother thank you for all that you do and the knowledge. Can I ask what camera you use. My wife wants to start a channel.

[@MJ-km3qz]

Thanks for an honest review for potential gun enthusiast purchases Brother!

[@jamesdelong6401]

Maybe 300$ be a more reasonable price

[@phxamigo]

The Beretta APX with its current $100 rebate is an awesome choice!

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Sure is.

[@jessesando8582]

If you don't mind the super slick slide finish. I got rid of mine for that one reason. If you had the slightest bit of sweat on your hands, or after you oiled it... My goodness good luck getting a grip on that little bugger.

[@keith2772]

A couple months ago I got the APX full size with a Burris Fastfire 3 pre mounted, for $349. That was before the $100 rebate. I basically paid for the optic and got a free gun, or at least that's what I like to tell myself. Wasn't even looking to buy a gun but if I would have kicked myself for not taking advantage of that deal.

[@DefensorFortis]

​@@keith2772 what type of holster did you get that works for you? For the APX A1?

[@keith2772]

@@DefensorFortis I haven't gotten a holster for it yet. I know Beretta has some on their website for it.

[@arnoldhelms5256]

Thank you for not rushing a review! It nice to see a few of you guys are 100% honest about the gun's y'all review. I have a few handgun's including an old TP9SFX. One of the best gun's period not just in a price range. But nice to see to all price ranges checked out and not just the high end gun's. Again thank you for putting in the time so we can make an informed decision.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Appreciate you saying that.

[@KingQ4444]

I like hearing the negatives up front. Second comment is that in 2024, every gun manufacturer should have grip texture everywhere. Makes no sense not to.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

I agree. on both.

[@rickt5705]

I do appreciate the negatives upfront. If I'm watching a review video, there's a good chance I'm already interested in the firearm. Understanding the negatives is why I'm watching the videos. Anyone can hype up any firearm, but I'm looking for honesty and what things to consider before purchasing (ha! I used 'consider' in a TC comment section). Thanks for your videos!

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Appreciate the love.

[@AlphaFishing]

I like this format, good idea to mix it up

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Thanks. Yeah I am trying some new things.

[@oskar6661]

At the price point, a lot of better options out there, for sure.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Yup

[@LL-be3rh]

Yes , I myself prefer the bad points first. Keep it up brother.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Appreciate it.

[@joelalonso8991]

Looks like a H&K USP and a Springfield XD had a baby

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Very similar with an mp looking slide and glockish internals.

[@paulh6101]

They look straight like m&p internals

[@milomclemore6071]

At that price just go with a CZ p series. Way, and I mean WAY better pistol.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

P10's are really solid.

[@ThatCapnGeech]

Having the good the bad and the ugly upfront is helpful.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Much appreciated.

[@onelineshirtcompany9754]

Appreciate the points made earlier in the videos, I still watch til the end. I have the EEA witness in steel and it is way better built than this polymer. Thanks for the information.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Thanks I was hoping people would like the change.

[@ChrisFromThe740]

Great review Mike, I have the Disruptor and The Disruptor X so i went and grabbed my original Disruptor out of the safe and luckily mine is not eating itself after 600 rounds. I also tried my PDP Pro mags and mine wouldn't work which is really interesting. They were close but they won't lock up

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Hmm odd that my PDP mags work in it and what I actually used mostly.

[@ChrisFromThe740]

​@@TacticalConsiderationsI'm going to dig in and see if the Pro mags are different I really appreciate the info

[@arlissyoung8899]

Great video. I like all the bad news first and up front. I am guessing for the money as you said there may be better pistols to be had for around the same price point.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

yeah this one missed the mark pretty hard.

[@dalestark3343]

I think I like the bad parts up front way of reviewing items. Thanks for the review Mike!

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Much appreciated .. I think getting that stuff out of the way first helps.

[@alfredjr2k556]

Nice Disruptor handgun. Happy New Year once again

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Thanks and happy new years.

[@HannahLee-f7s]

I like watching these reviews so I have the knowledge of what is good is and bad about a certain gun I don’t like wasting money and that includes the guns,ammo and accessories that I plan on buying

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Yeah, I have wasted so much money over the years on bad kit or guns I could probably have bought a super car lol.

[@jamesdelong6401]

For the money. It seems like it'll get the job done. The finish on it is. Bad ass

[@TacticalConsiderations]

the finish is cool but I fear long term there will be problems.

[@jamesdelong6401]

@TacticalConsiderations Good morning. 💪🇺🇸💪😎☕️. Yea. For the price. I guess you can't expect. 👌 TOP NOTCH 👌. Not a Smith&Wesson. So. 💪🇺🇸 Smith&Wesson 🇺🇸💪. You know, I'm going to give some love to Smith&Wesson. O! When are you going to review and test out rock island tac ultra fshc 45acp and 10mm. Dude! That 10mm model. 💪. I remember one day shooting 140 rounds of 10mm with that pistol and then switched to my shadow systems XR920P pistol. 🤣 I thought i broke it or had a sqib load. Dam, thing felt like a pop gun after shooting my 10mm

[@TheMikeshannon]

This gun is apparently not very "disruptive" because we run a gunshop and ive never even had a customer mention this thing let alone order one... tbh i dont think ive even heard of it until now

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Yup.

[@AlejandroSalas-i1d]

I just want to let you know Mike Ludig has soft hands he the one who told me about your channel and I love it!

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Glad to have you aboard. ... My man Ludig. Its been a min since I have seen him.

[@salem2772]

I am fine with the upfront issues format. Does not translate to bad, just means there are some things left to be desired.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Truth

[@DefensorFortis]

Speaking of polymer wear. Have you ever done or seen any review of how different hosters, leather, level 2 retention, kydex, etc. wears on different parts of a pistol and pistol finishes? How do you deal with that for duty vs more collectible ballistic tools?

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Its been a bit but I have worn out safariland holster over the years with thousands of draws .

[@PR-Bori]

Great video as always i will say a great budget option is the Taurus G3 series im telling you I got the G3C toro and man that thing works I got more than 1,000 rounds with no problem at all that's the only cheap gun I owned and now it's part of my EDC rotation but I'm not planning to buy another cheap gun it's good that we got so many options but I prefer to spend more for something more reliable just my opinion! Keep it up Bro!

[@TacticalConsiderations]

yeah Taurus can be solid as long as the qc was on point that day.

[@excaliburdg1762]

Negative analysis first is very helpful. Excellent video as always. Thanks.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Much appreciated.

[@ChristianGrest]

Great review brother! These do look really good, but for the price Canik (as you mentioned)all the way. Wife has a couple of Canik pistols and they’re solid as can be.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Yeah I think canik has the edge here.

[@RustyKnucks]

Good review! For the price of something not so sure about it would be better go with a really clean used one from any if the other companies u mentioned in the video for all the reasons like track record, quality, and aftermarket support..

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Yeah the used market is flooded right now.

[@Styxx2018]

Love the change in format... Good/Bad right up front. Plus, younger viewers don't have that long of an attention span. 😂😅😝

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Thanks. Got to get that stuff out of the way first.

[@lizheinzb4033]

Nice vid , what kind of camera you use ?

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Sony a7s3 and canon r6

[@lizheinzb4033]

@TacticalConsiderations thanks buddy

[@DevonReclaimed]

It's based on a Walther p99 which is long sense expired. There are many clones of it like the Canik TP9. Plentiful magazines

[@TacticalConsiderations]

It’s definitely not a new design for sure.

[@HKGunPlay]

Looks cool. But I have no need for another pistol at the moment. Especially one that may or may not be breaking at 500 rounds.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

yeah I get that.

[@stanleyhaller8991]

Have you shot the echelon 4.0c yet. If so whats your opinion

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Yes I really like it. I will have a video coming soon.

[@stanleyhaller8991]

Could you do a comparison between the shield plus carry comp and ecolon 4.0c

[@NASTYVEGASNATE]

Bro, please do a review on the new orthos arms joker

[@Davethegunguy]

Just looked it up and holy moly that’s some sick shit! If it was a couple hundred less I’d think about it but for 1500 minimum I’ll put that into my long range build

[@TacticalConsiderations]

If I can get one in.

[@paulh6101]

Does s&w know they have a copy of their internal?

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Well this is all based on patents that are expired so it wont matter.

[@paulh6101]

@TacticalConsiderations ok didn't now the m&p pwntent expired. Didn't look close enough to see if it was the gen 1 or 2 M&P. The internals look very similar to an m&p kinda guy at a quick glance.

[@HalfCrazy520]

Girsan... yeah... I wanted a 1911 with a rail and a compensator. Girsan had one and it was cheap, so I thought, "How bad can it be?". Well, it was REALLY BAD. It wouldn't get through a magazine without a malfunction. So... I bought $380 worth of Wilson Combat series 70 parts (ALL of them) and paid a gunsmith to install them. Now I'm at $1,130 and guess what? Still not reliable. Then I took it to someone who KNOWS 1911s really well and had him fit everything. When I got it back it was about 90% reliable, but the extractor is still giving me issues and the ejector seems kinda short. I gave it back to the gunsmith and he's making love to it a bit more. Basically, all said and done, I will have $1,650 in this $500 pistol. Lesson learned? Save your money and buy a nice gun. Buy once, cry once. It's expensive to try making chicken soup out of chicken shlt.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

yeah I have not had good luck with the brand.

[@HalfCrazy520]

@@TacticalConsiderations I was looking at their Hi Power w/Rail, but after my experience with the 1911, there's NFW.

[@mr.mr.3301]

A random question, but do we need new pistols any longer? I’m not saying updates to existing ones but do we need more? I have lost count of how many budget Turkish knock offs there are. Or glock clones.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Well I'd say more new stuff not clones yes.

[@mattyoaks4012]

I always prefer to lead with the bad so that the good potentially redeems itself vs ending with the bad leaving a bad taste in the mouth.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

I like it.

[@tahertz8544]

Girson is just a racket that's a Smith & Wesson slide with a Canick frame and they do that with every gun they ever made it's weird.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Its a multi cloner for sure.

[@nathanbrand1]

Wait six months and it'll be in a holiday blowout pricing email. That's the only way I'd try it based on this review

[@TacticalConsiderations]

I agree.

[@donaldallen4257]

Hey bro I think if you make more shorts. And post shorts of your older stuff it would bring a lot more subscribers to your channel

[@TacticalConsiderations]

I appreciate that . Shorts are a double edged sword . 95% of shorts viewers will never watch long videos so it messes with analytics and can have a negative effect on the channel

[@keith2772]

I don't get the one magazine thing that's gaining popularity with manufactures these days. I understand it saves them money, but does it? With 2 (or more) magazines a customer is not only getting a better experience, but if they have malfunctions they can use a spare magazine and see if it is a magazine related issue or if the gun has to go back to the manufacturer for warranty work. I'm sure it costs more to service warranty issues involving a bad magazine than it does just to send one out with the gun in the first place. As far as "disrupting" the market, that's not going to happen unless Glock seriously shits the bed, and does it multiple times. And that's coming from someone who isn't a big fan of Glock.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

It's a cost cut for them

[@jefferybrown1806]

I agree give the downside to the firearms you review first and then the good redeeming qualities last.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Much appreciated.

yeah buddy.

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

Bro first look.. this is a smith knock off and smith pistols are fairly cheap. Better finish then guns at 2x the cost.. I mean I don’t see the reason to make a budget smith lol.. seems like a zero market place item answering the question no one asked.. that of is 110% m&p 2.0 knock off design.. that mag filer insert is 110% m&p knock off which was soo bad and hated smith got rid of it lol.. The reason you can’t make a smith budget knock off is cause smith actually already offers maybe the best or above price features. I mean if you going to go cheaper you can’t make anything of actual quality when based on the same basic designs..

[@TacticalConsiderations]

It’s an odd one for sure.

[@geoobs18]

I will never ever buy a Girsan… EVER. Horrible

[@TacticalConsiderations]
