Ermox Defense X-Fire - A budget Glock Clone with an Aluminum Frame

[@seanmares2406]

My wife got me ermox for Christmas went to the range put a little over 500 rounds through it worked flawlessly its a awesome pistol I had no problems taking it a part to clean

Thanks for watching and adding your thoughts.

There's a lot to like here. This pistol looks like it lends itself to many upgrades. Keep us posted on other compatibility with Glock parts and any upgrades.

[@RidersRange]

I couldn't resist the gun for the price. I do plan to see if any Glock parts will work. As always, thanks for watching.

[@MDpolo]

Interesting presentation as always. Never heard of this firearm before. I enjoyed the video. Thank you.

[@RidersRange]

For the price, I couldn't resist. Thanks, as always, for watching.

[@PsychoHexx]

Just bought this piece as my first c&c, liking it so far, but im a novice as well, mostly got it for the price 😂

[@lessage760]

Thank you sir that looks like a nice pistol hope to see some more on it as far as plates and no plate great job thank you

[@RidersRange]

I plan to add a red dot, I'll definitely see if it can use Glock-compatible parts to replace the sights and enhance the trigger.

[@tomnola7204]

Another great review ! Thanks !

[@RidersRange]

Thanks for watching.

[@stvnbiz]

I cant wait to find out how to purchase those aluminum grips for mine. The plastic ones work, but they make me feel like im not shooting a metal framed gun. Also I had the same issue with pmags. Thanks for the review!

[@RidersRange]

I sent an inquiry to Ermox Defense asking how to purchase the grip panels. If/when I get a response, I'll either do another video on it, or I'll pin the response in the comment section of this video.

[@flintstriker2791]

You're a really cool guy. These Turkish pistols look interesting, thanks.👍

[@RidersRange]

Thank you for watching.

[@WaterDR-tw8re]

Bought one of these for giggles. It shoots shockingly well. I have used guns that are 3X in price that this one will outshoot. I will be modifying the trigger a tad

[@RidersRange]

Thanks for watching.

[@sg696]

I am assuming that Glock sights work with this gun? Forgive me if I am asking a dumb question.

[@cerneysmallengines]

So, I just picked one of these up, and I have the trigger pull down to 4.5 pounds. I replaced the striker spring with a 4.5 pound spring. For carrying, I wouldn't normally go below 5, but I had this one in my inventory, so I slapped it on. I polished the striker tang, and the release paddle, and I also just honed out the striker channel with a stainless steel bore brush. Lubed everything back up and I'm seeing a 4.5-5 pound trigger pull. I've also put in a ported barrel from zaffiri precision. It is a glock 19 gen 5 barrel, NOT A GEN 3. I'm going to need to touch up the cuts in the slide to make it align better, but otherwise I'm very impressed.

[@RidersRange]

Hmmm......all good info. Thanks for contributing.

[@Paladin1873]

Since it has a metal frame, they should consider offering the option of a metal mag release and metal magazine. I wonder how many more rounds it would hold.

[@RidersRange]

I agree, though I'm guessing they don't plan to do any engineering beyond the reverse-engineering of a Glock.

[@tintin4396]

The big gravitation for Glock is cheap mags…. Upgrade the mag at the cost of price and reliability kind of defeat the purpose of buying a Glock

[@Paladin1873]

@@tintin4396 The Turks are already making Glockish pistols that use metal mags, that's why I suggested it as an option.

[@T.A.B.Videos]

Nice lookin pistol

[@TheLoneRanger745]

IT looks NICE , looking at the trigger guard.. Big question... will it work with the Glock holsters .. that could be the deal braker finding holsters

[@dannydoughboy120]

Most interesting showing of a gun brand, I've never heard of. From what I researched, this gun comes with no warranty of any kind, and it is hard to reassemble. I think I shall stick with my old reliable SCCY.

[@RidersRange]

It allegedly has a warranty and the Ermox company has been around since 1995, but I'm guessing service would be questionable. (I just tried their website and now "This site can't be reached".) As to take-down, it field strips just like a Glock. I haven't tried going any farther, but considering the pins are going into an aluminum frame, rather than polymer, it may take a little more hammer and punch work than it does on a Glock. But for the price ($319 today only on Classic Firearms), I think it's a very good value. And it is larger than any SCCY. Thanks for watching.

[@dannydoughboy120]

@@RidersRange Sir. Appreciate your friendly detailed answer....It is always very interesting to learn about a new gun out there, and I suppose there is something for everyone....Yes, I did a couple of google searches, and was just going by what others had posted. A few very good, and a few rather poor..lol Thank you again and take care

[@justinpennington7682]

2 things . Why didn't you try to switch the barrels when you had them both apart side by side ? Why do you drag your finger along the trigger gaurd while pulling the trigger?

[@RidersRange]

1) Swapping barrels on camera could result in the video being demonetized (crazy KZbin Community Guidelines). I do plan a follow-up (probably not monetized), but I didn't want any problems with this initial video. 2) I believe I partially explained that in the video. The farther away from the pivot point, the lighter the trigger pull (simple load-fulcrum-effort equation). But also, the friction of my finger on the trigger guard results in a smoother trigger press with less tendency to suddenly add pressure at the break point. I hope that helps. And thank you for watching.

[@justinpennington7682]

@RidersRange ok I see .

[@sg696]

Just curious. Did your gun have any problems associated with disassembly? My slide kept getting stuck when I tried to remove it. I couldn’t figure out where it was hanging up until replaced the barrel with an aftermarket one I had laying around. It takes apart just fine with the aftermarket barrel. So I can only conclude that the original barrel lug was causing it to hang up. Once I got the slide on with the original barrel, it functions fine, but I just find this odd, since I can’t detect any difference in the dimensions of each barrel.

[@RidersRange]

Getting the slide off the frame wasn't a problem, but getting the original barrel out of the slide took some work.

[@PatriotArms90]

15:39 I had the same issue with pmags and Amend2 mags

[@settleschris1965]

Weird that they have grips on the site but no way to purchase them.

[@RidersRange]

I got a set of grips for the X-Fire. If I recall correctly, they were through Dan's Sporting Goods in Pennsylvania.

[@eduardosanchez2236]

Excelente

[@AndyCigars]

Good that budget options are out there...that really seems to be the Turkish gun niche. I personally would save up the extra $ or ask Santa for a real *Glock* ...but hey, to each their own and more options are a good thing. Cheers!

[@RidersRange]

I like the aluminum frame, but I was perfectly okay carrying a Glock for 24 years. Thanks for watching.

[@justinpennington7682]

Not everyone likes plastic guns

[@bub-gy2bq]

Blocks are overpriced, overrated and very cheaply manufactured.

[@solarflare1008]

The ejector is by far better than the Glock…..

[@chrisblake1918]

NY trigger.

[@RidersRange]

Jogging my memory back to Glock armorer school many years ago, I recall the NY trigger being somewhere in the 12 pound range to be closer to their old revolvers. This Ermox just had a rough basic Glock trigger.

[@cImIcak]

View years later turkish handguns on the top there is no way glock can be hold on now Konya [konya turkish city where the fame shootguns producer].a part of türkiye join to make also handgun the ermox defence is from konya other of them is Huğlu have now a prototyp supcompact polimer frame in work it will soon official.

[@RidersRange]

Thanks for watching and adding your thoughts.

[@terryb-f2r]

Does not function repair hard to find. You have to pay shipping for warranty. Total junk

[@RidersRange]

So far, mine is running fine. But metal framed guns need to be properly lubed regularly. And not all guns like all ammo. Thanks for watching.

[@bub-gy2bq]

Mine is working perfectly with no malfunctions after over 1000 rounds Terry. Sorry that you got a dud.

[@donbauerle1486]

You might want to pull out your false teeth when you do a video. You can hear your teeth are coming loose. Listen to the whistling when you talk. My grandfather has the same problem. All I can say polygrip

[@RidersRange]

I'm going to presume that was sarcasm, as I don't have false teeth. But thanks for watching and commenting. It does help the algorithm.

[@bub-gy2bq]

How funny Don, you need to grow up.
