Guns and Coffee and what's your Pre Gun Range Routine on NOIR | Ep.12:Pregame is the Game

[@FPR2104]

Watching NOIR sometimes can be quite frustrating as a European gun enthusiast since it's like watching the kind of life you wish you could have but you just can't. That and the fact that everything is so stylish makes you die of envy as minutes go by...

[@ryanbrown4053]

FPR2104 Even in the states it's frustrating at least for me. I don't have the time or money to do things like this.

[@rabbitdrink]

same thing here in california

[@willstromquist2775]

Lasorte:500 rounds of 9mm how long's that gonna last ya? Colion: Two Lasorte: Two what? Colion: Minutes...

[@Johnathan.F]

I laughed when I realized that's over 4 rounds a second lol

[@ytmndan]

Jonthan Fowler Cuz he's got them ghost guns with 30 caliber clips

[@MrRickwe76]

I love how Darren and you can really pick at each other but still be in a fun way. This is definitely one of my favorite episode with you two.

[@drtybrd4479]

Coffee and guns??!! My new favorite place! I fall somewhere in the middle of Mr clean and simple guy. Maybe a little more Mr clean. Love the series. Keep up the good work.

[@Creepermoss]

I cannot get enough of this show. Thumbs up on another great episode.

[@nellsonstout7001]

My ritual: drink a Mountain Dew voltage and walk out my back door. My back yard is my range. I feel sorry for gun owners who are stuck in the city

[@hammanvideo]

That is the dream right there.

[@colejohnson3705]

My range is the front yard. You have to drive past it to get to my house. Fishing is in the backyard. 20 acres backed by several thousand used for cattle. Yosemite is off in the distance. Nice place to live, except it is in californistan!

[@filmguy91]

Try living in Chicago, IL :(

[@deeznuts1369]

I'm jealous. My routine is oil up the guns that need it, load magazines, take a dump, grab a bottle of water, drive 30 minutes to the mountains. or 3 minutes to the gun shop down the street that has a range... but being outdoors is sooo much better imo.

[@diamondheat9]

+Deez Nuts I too am sort of like that but dump done before I handle my babies. Or I'd prep early in the day and transition into the so simple, it's scary guy.

[@ja2808]

One of the most remarkable videos on the tube. Well played Mr. Noir.

[@d.l.hemmingway3834]

LOL, now watching Colion getting ready to the range is funny.

[@amburgeyjamie]

I usually get bored after a few minutes on you tube gun stuff. Having said that I really like your channel man. I find myself watching more and more

[@w33b3l]

Its refreshing to see someone like you. I've been a subscriber for a long time.. back before you got your NRA deal. BTW congrats on your success man. However I was wondering if you had some time out of your day to give me your insight on something. I have had my carry permit for years and the last time I renewed the instructor said that I should charge my semi-auto handgun "open handed over the top" instead of using my thumb from he rear. I understand the reasoning that he gave for why I should do it and I've noticed that everyone in your video's does this as well. My problem is that I've been shooting guns for 20 years. My muscle memory asserted itself a long time ago. Plus I have wrist issues and doing it the way I am "supposed to" is very hard for me. Plus my carry gun is a semi auto with a hammer (CS9 9mm with a shaved hammer) and I carry chambered so its really not needed. Although every time I re-certify they ride me about it. Im wondering what your thoughts are about said subject. Should I stick with what I'm good at?, or is there a real advantage to doing it the "proper" way assuming I can find the strength and train my muscle memory for it?

[@creator0203]

+Colion Noir Agreed. I am also a from the rear guy with finger and thumb like w33b3l. Been for 15 years. I find that my racking hand is ready faster (not having to turn to grab the pistol), and I am better aimed toward my target faster. But to each their own. Most my buddies rack over the top sans a few. I've actually had my palm pinched in the ejection port from a G19 before checking clear where you rack it a few times racking over the top. Practice practice practice....I dig your vids, I laughed so hard when the 4 Noirs were arguing in a recent vid HAH!

[@darkinertia2]

i used to do it that way, but now i train for stress rather than speed and using your whole hand over the top is harder to fuck up than delicately grabbing it with 2 fingers hollywood style lol but which ever way you do it is your business its your life

[@ohbummer7256]

+darkinertia2 i Agree 100% in reality adrenaline kicks in and your heart is racing its easy to grab it over the top with your whole hand and not with 2 fingers from the rear

[@timunderbakke8756]

The different pre-race guys segment is officially my favorite segment you've done on the series. Probably because I can think of people that fit into each of them. I know i am guilty of too much pressure in what to bring, and in Mr clean.

[@timunderbakke8756]

Pre-range*

[@tommyhardman8883]

back in 2014 i thought he is gun a freak,now i realize he is just a guy like me who loves to protect whats his.btw im watching it on 2020 september.much respect to u sir

[@drmaudio]

To each their own, but when I go to the range, I grab the guns I want to take, make a quick trip to the ammo cabinet to throw the appropriate ammo in my always packed range bag, then I'm out the door in what ever I happen to be wearing. 5 minutes tops.

[@GranadaBashlav]

I purchased an Fnx45 tactical simply from your review video. after watching how well you handled that FNX, i knew you would dominate this stage.

[@I_Might_B_Wrong]

I really hope this shop sticks around forever. I don't have any plans to head to Texas, but if I ever do I want to stop by for coffee.

[@killer13324]

i wanna go to that coffee shop now... unfortunately i live in Virginia...

[@francismarion1393]

VA=zzzzzzz

[@willstromquist2775]

killer13324 I also want to but I live in Utah lol

[@1303russ]

killer13324 I live 20 minutes from Dallas! To the coffee shop I go!

[@killer13324]

***** no that's NY and California

[@MrRexquando]

Your videos keep getting better. Almost ready for prime time!

[@mgonzalez00]

The production quality is much improved over the first half of the season, nice work!

[@JoHnDoE2033]

This is my favorite episode so far keep it up guys.

[@fed-upp8537]

Love these guys! Bravo for the quality!

[@stephaniesarahfishman3986]

Great show. Cool music. Great photography. Great humor. I agree, the VP9 by H&K has a sweet trigger, better then Glock, but the size of my G19 & G23 are way more efficient for me. I hope Glock will just copy the trigger. Also the VP9 is reasonable in price now, competing with Glock's price point. H&K has always been pricey up until now. I love your show. Thank you. A bunch of us guys from Loomis Tacoma enjoy your show regularly. Be safe, God bless, Steve Fishman

[@drummerchef851]

Lots of guns and lots of legs! Love this video. Great job.

[@lazorbeak]

"Im going to the range man, I gotta know how to use my stuff if this thing happens" lmao ha LaSorte's funny he looked so tweaked too; great show keep up the good work.

[@phab2808]

The coffee shop looks very cozy. Thanks for the vid.

[@Nate_the_Nobody]

Apparently I'm a "so simple it's scary guy". I don't have thousands of dollars to blow on firearms and firearm accessories, I have my shotgun, my rifle, and my pistol. I am also limited in my range selection, being none of the ranges in my area allow anything other than pistol calibers, so... yeah

[@chris53236]

Looks like I am too

[@Jesses001]

I am the Extranious Equipment Guy. I do not like going to the range without a trauma kit, tools for anything that breaks, ear and eye protection for anyone who happened to forget, and tons of other stuff, only half I will use. You know, just in case I need it.

[@joshbarton4705]

Im the not enough ammo guy. Can never have enough ammo!!!!!

[@Jesses001]

Josh Barton Is there a such thing as too much ammo?

[@Creepermoss]

Jesse Sisolack Too much to carry, maybe. Other than that, no.

[@damianarchibald7792]

That coffee shop is the Anti-Starbucks! I would love to purchase an iced mocha latte from them, but plane tickets are expensive and i don't want to be groped by TSA agents. At least not until they buy me dinner first!

[@applejacks971]

I'm definitely the Mr Clean guy! "I have to clean all of them, to shoot any of them, you know that" lol!! Awesome!

[@ConcaCon]

"4 Alarm Blaze" does sample "Eye of the Tiger", and does feature Jay-Z. But it's a M.O.P. song. One wonders if Lasorte actually meant this song.

[@DE2137]

My pre-gun range routine is check my range bag. Make sure I have everything, gun, ammo, mags, cleaning kit, hearing & eye protection, etc. Remember all the fundamentals & take note to work on something that I need to improve on. I remember I was so excited to head to the range & I forgot my magazines. But I asked the gun employees if I could borrow some mags from the rental wall. They were cool about it after giving me the "you're stupid" look for forgetting my mags.

[@jakeweston8616]

I perform my pre range ritual the night before, that way the next day I can just grab and go.

[@bluestaterefugee7174]

Two of my favorite things..that and Bacon.

[@nebutch]

I'm definitely the "so simple it's scary" guy. Two bags - One for my rifle + 2 pistols (it's a rifle bag, but has 2 really slick hidden closures for pistolas), and the other for ammo and all the tools and accessories that will fit.

[@davidstephens8871]

This was one of the best episodes yet.

[@charlesstipes3726]

My ritual is complex in that I have a long way to drive..but I have so much to prepare. Night before I clean all excess oil out of all my firearms (cuz it will tar up with regualr oil, thankfully ballistol is non petrol based and isnt much of an issue in that department) If I didnt in the days leading up to my trip already make em, I have to cast alot of round balls so Im up at 2am (or just never go to sleep) from .36 cal up to .78. as well as 12 gauge shot. Make sure I have plenty of powder, caps, flints, patches,wads,seals,bore butter,overshot cards ,over powder shotgun wads etc.. both lubicrated and cleaning solvent patches.. get everything packed up in their proper sleeves and bags. Get the carrying cases for my 9mms , THEN make breakfast.....down four cups of tea. Eat some jerky on the 50 mile trip to the range.......then once there I have to run caps through the revolvers dry to make sure theres no excess oil in the nipples. Then Im ready to shoot all day long :D of course this is nothing compared to the once home ritual where I must soak them all in hot soapy water and rapidly clean, rinse, dry them pray no quick appearing liquid rust is present in the hard to find/see spots.........then shoot the shit out of them with ballistol which not only penetrates but also deactivates the powder. Not as much a worry using substitutes that arent Pyrodex.. but true black powder eats through everything.

[@akiraman21]

in the first half in the coffee shop and the apartment was nice. I also got a feel of a little mad man a bit too. the only thing missing is the suits.

[@garfield0ne]

Allow me to point out that whoever has the apartment at the 7:57 point is brilliant. A kitchen shelf for whiskey only. Bravo.

[@StriderCZ]

Yup. Going to that coffee shop sometime here soon.

[@webster7710]

I'm totally the Mr. Extraneous Equipment Guy. And damn proud of it! Lol.

[@thatmaninblack]

14:25 - I think you could use an AC or a fan there. :)

[@mcjon77]

I literally had ZERO desire to visit to Dallas until seeing that coffee shop. Now, I have to check out the city, if only for that coffee shop.

[@Jbaybi]

This challenge is awesome plus the skill level is WOW!

[@AlexPrivett]

I always bring a friend that has never gone shooting before, I show them basics of gun operations and gun safety. Then when we get back they get to clean everything.

[@Joshua-smith1989]

I'm the not enough ammo guy, great video guys!! That course looks awesome!! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@johnmitchell9137]

Great show guys. Not sure how I missed this. Really refreshing to see non-stereotypical gun people. More like me.

[@Oregunbud]

Always with the damn flat bill style Hats. Never takes them off,even when shooting. Assuming while Sleeping and showering too.

[@hairfarmer07]

Ya know at first I was not into this guy. I totally dig colion. He is my style. I love hats and shoes. And head to toe has to go. But then again I'm a so cal surfer. Off roader. And love guns and hunting. But I'm really likeing the. Dynamics with all three. I dig it. I'm 36. It's hip smart and funny. Loving it guys. Keep up the great work. I love how you throw in the personalities. Loving it. I'm your demographic. Your hitting the nail on the head

[@adamselene621]

Rather fond of good coffee myself, and the decorations. :)

[@bigtruckboy20011]

I love guns and coffee. When he said kind of like the "never enough ammo guy", I thought of Matt from Neverenuffammo. Lol

[@chriscooper8112]

Here in Atlantic Canada we love our Tim Norton's coffee and ar15s

[@GrillingNetwork]

Glad I found this channel!! >>Kudos!!!

[@unisuit]

Once Again, Noir. You restore my love for the county. PS. Stop with the coffee and guns, I think my wife is falling for you.....

[@Zakerath]

I spend far too long preparing. I have to unload all my guns to comply with the law (over 18 but under 21 citizens cannot vehicle carry in Georgia, so the guns must be unloaded and ammunition "not readily accessible"). So I unload and re-box ammunition (either magazines separated from guns, or ammunition boxed). I try to figure out how to fit the ammunition in my ammo boxes, case the guns, and take several trips to the car. For extra precaution, since the law is open to interpretation, I put locks on the ammo boxes and trigger lock my handguns (being a handgun owner and under 21 is rough). It's an hour and a half drive to an outdoor range. When I get there, I look like I'm spring cleaning or something, as long as it takes for me to organize. The ammo and magazines I need are often burred in my ammo tetris boxes, unlock everything, uncase guns and reapply accessories (butt pad doesn't fit in box, I only take my mosin nagant bayonet off for transport, unnecessary? yes, but the Russians never took theirs off, and sighted the guns with the bayonet on, so it's not so much an accessory, so much as a breakdown...and also cool). Then do it all over again when I go home. It pretty much takes all day. (range closes at 4 on Saturdays, 3 hours round trip, an hour to shoot, and 45 minutes prep each way. I have to preplan this, or at least know before noon Saturday, which is only day of the week I can go, because closed on Sundays, and takes way to long to prepare for after work.

[@daryleaton7110]

Java beans and m-16s Now that is lyric poetry , keep doing what you do thanx for the videos Mr noir

[@WhatHavU]

Lmfao.. luv these videos. Mr Clean had me crackn up..

[@juannjenn23]

As always thanks for your awesome videos

[@eaatanfoglio]

After a long day at the range, you should check into the "Kings Spa" a nice traditional Korean spa that is very relaxing

[@petesrt4]

This is great! I love these videos!

[@KineticEV]

Same here Killer13324. I'm here in Virginia too. We need some coffee shops like that....

[@fontainejr22]

First off I wish we had a coffee shop like that around here, then again maybe not cause I would probably spend too much money on coffee. Secondly I had to laugh cause when you two were first talking about peoples pre gun range routine I thought I would probably be the never enough ammo guy, then that's what you started out with. lol

[@flashingsword]

I'm a "goes to the range so often, my guns are already in the trunk, just let me grab some ammo," guy

[@glockensig]

Great episode...now I'm worried about zombies again!!

[@Kilonoid]

Just looked up some recent reviews and photos of Stupid Good Coffee, the owner seems to have taken away all the firearm accents of the place. Nobody in any recent reviews mentions them, and neither do the recent photos taken of the place. His coffee still seems to be top-notch though.

[@r1413]

Awesome coffee shop, great show. Noir was that a Warsport LVOA or a Salient in your collection? How about a small review vid.

[@rustyshackleford17]

Coffee,omlette, bacon, pancake before the range. Out the door by 6 (in the morning). Indoor range "I'm the so simple its scary" Outdoor range is "never enough ammo"

[@FM418]

Loving this series!! :)

[@hk4lyfe59]

My Pre Gun Range Routine: -Crap in a bag -Grab my water balloon launcher -Launch bag of poop at my neighbor's cat -Grab a Diet Pepsi -Pack my guns, turn on spotify and leave

[@skylarscaling]

Best. Show. Ever.

[@poikusa0207]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who practices dry firing.

[@15Qabbey]

I actually like the feel of the show. Feels kinda like an American Top Gear (the kind we want, not the one they've given us).

[@mudfan061]

I think I will visiting this place. Thank you

[@BOATS_22]

This has to be the best shooting competition i have seen sense top shot. may be even better. my guess is Colion Noir take the 14 stage win by 3.5 second. And that coffee shop needs to expand and start one up in Maine.

[@paris466]

Pack up my guns and go... that's it. That's my routine. Guess that make me the "So Simple, It's Scary - Guy"

[@ricks.1092]

The opening segment was really good. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel regarding LaSorte, being on the show. However, I was willing to be open minded and give the guy a chance. Well, a few episodes in, and I'm beginning to warm up to LaSorte. If I had to pick amongst LaSorte or Amy, on leaving the show. I would pick Amy. She's a beautiful girl, there's no doubt in that. However, not sure what she brings to show. Besides looking beautiful and being a lackadaisical side-kick. She seems to be "out of her element." My only grip with "Noir" (the show aspect). Is I wish it was 40 minutes long, opposed to being 20 minutes. Outside of that, I like the direction this show is taking. I sincerely wish plenty of success with the endeavors of the show. Well Done to the Noir Cast and Crew. Respectfully, Dr. Rick S.

[@grindstone4910]

A group of us at my office decided to have an office get-together at the range. So far I've been the "social butterfly" guy inviting everyone. But it's because I want more guns to be present to shoot!

[@Gewehr_3]

We've been doing that guns and coffee thing in WA for a while now :D

[@drummerchef851]

Couple of my friends and I do Guns and grub! Shooting, shopping and then eat! Life is good.

[@rickd248]

I could give one of those "black rifles" a good home if you have to many. I would feed it properly and care for it. It would help you out in deciding what to take to the range. LOL!! Your videos are all great!

[@awesomeguy7778]

wish we had this here the range is so much fun

[@andreys2043]

I love ur show dude. Keep it up!

[@majorchange9675]

lol I've been a couple of these guys smh and I have delt with a few of them also lol classic great episode.

[@spd579]

Pre-range. The night before: gather ammo, load mags, bag it with extra ammo. This is for both side-arm and rifle. I only own one of each. Post-range is clean-up, inspection, oil, reassemble, return to storage, or duty status. Other than the ammo at this point, everything is already prepped for the next the next range day. Yep, keeping it simple. Yes, I invite family. My Daughters almost always show up. Co-workers are invited but, they don't show up. Mostly, My Wife, and me!

[@franktheweinerburke]

Why do you have to load your mags? Why not just leave them loaded the way they should be?

[@spd579]

Because, I don't have the money to stock-pile for the range. My family and I, only go to the range, when I can afford it.

[@jorgelarios6412]

David Burke in my case, i don't shoot the ammo which i have loaded for defense. so i have to unload my mags and then load them back up..

[@shankdrummer06]

He's rocking that FORGED shirt. Got the same one.

[@corey9857]

If it was a Dublin Cream Soda, you are speaking the truth!

[@iinstallrva]

I was done when the zombie apocalypse guy came out....LOL

[@erictalkington5674]

You have got to give revolvers a shot. Not a new one either. Has to be at least 1985 or older and snubs are the best. A S&W 686 snub, or 586 snub if you can find it, a Model 36 Chief's Special or a Model 10 square butt or round butt. A Model 15 snub is one of the most beautiful guns ever made. Stainless is okay if polished, but a blued (best in my opinion) or nickel. The Colt Detective Special or Diamondback (38 special version of Python) or a python snub. I grew up shooting my whole life and always hated revolvers because being born in 1981, autos were still coming up and many law enforcement officers still used revolvers. Now that autos are "the thing," revolvers have a great appeal about them. All the mobster, detective and private detective shows and movies made me fall in love and I thought I'd never like revolvers. Now, just like with music from James Brown and BB King and Curtis Mayfield and Jimmy McGriff, I never thought I'd like them, but once discovered, I don't know how I ever lived without them. That's all I carry anymore. Mostly one of my Model 36's with some speed strips for extra ammo. Try them out!being that your online last name is Noir, you've gotta check out the old Film Noir movies! They are so much better than today's movies.

[@kde71450]

Loved this episode

[@Ensign_Cthulhu]

Stupid Good Coffee: in the manner of a bartender who refuses the lurching drunk with slurred speech who's clearly had several too many, do these guys turn down customers whose hands shake from caffeine so much they can't hold their sidearm straight? ;-) The temptation to post security camera webshots of the faces of the anti-gun people who walk in there for a coffee and see the Eeeevil Assault Rifles lying around on the table must be almost irresistible. Probably the signs outside keep most of them away, but there must be at least a few who are drawn on by the caffeine and don't notice until it's too late. 2:43 LOLOL I almost spat out my coffee.

[@Redz819]

I just came upon your channel and love what you are doing here. I've been wanting take a more serious approach to doing competition, but find ammo cost hurting the wallet. I know there is alot of simple anwers like, make more money and all. Though I'm also looking towards doing more frequent events in the future. Any advise? Thank you and keep up the channel

[@chaddjames5105]

lol i belong to the "so simple it's scary club" pick a setup walk out.

Love the show!

[@homegnome9267]

Btw, I noticed in one of your videos, you were using a Clipdraw. I've been using one for my .40 shield, and I absolutely love it. Small frame would make it extremely difficult for me to also conceal a holster. Could you make a video on your impression of the product?

[@svtguy887]

Hey that looks like my old apartment across from City Tavern!
