[@solocamo3654]

12:35 thanks for clarifying on that, I was about to say it's far from an ideal EDC. Regardless, it's an awesome pistol. I think you'll find that that a large enough majority of pc builders are also into cars and firearms. It's the whole tinkering thing.

I use a leather holster from Tale of Knifes to hold them all on my belt. Most of their stuff is made to order so it takes a few weeks to ship, but I love its quality. I have had mine for two years and I expect it will last decades more.

Yoooo that ruger is siiiick. Glad to see that you have good trigger finger placement! Too many folks showing off their firearms with the finger resting on the trigger. It's nice to see someone every once in a while that has good trigger finger placement.

[@coreyhallcreative]

I am glad you clarified that .22 was for fun. Far too many people think they can carry .22 for self defense. And yes you can do that, but it is not really a stopping power ammo. But that is a very fun gun to shoot I agree and your upgrades are nice.

First comment on your channel just to say I love your content and I love it even more now that you've branched out a bit here 😁 I like to watch while doing some chores and your slight innuendos make me laugh out loud all the time.

[@Synthyourlife]

As a non northamerican person, it's kinda wild to have a gun as an edc (tho you said this one was just for range, you mentioned you use another for protection). I'm not complaining or whatever, it's just that it's shocking how normalized guns are on your part of the world! Any way, now I have an itch for a new wallet 😂 also thanks for the gel pens! My favourite pen is a pilot gel pen but every single one I've bought stops working days after buying them and it's a pretty common thing on that specific model. With how cheap yours are, I'll definitely give them a try!

[@Rurik_Luci]

Give us Americans some credit. There are a lot of things in the US that can be very dangerous. I live near a city of 500,000+ but mountain lions were spotted nearby. It's stay strapped or get clapped out here.

[@WinchesterxNL]

Feel the same way. No judgement, just kind of wild, really.

[@Rurik_Luci]

​@@WinchesterxNL I mean in Europe your land predators are in Scandinavia and Russia. You don't have much chance of a 90kg cat jumping you. Your brown bear population is all in the north and east. I'm maybe an hour from them and an hour the other way from that city of half a million. Most of the venomous snakes snakes are in parts of France (good) or the east. Europeans just don't have to deal with nature like Americans (mostly because you destroyed it all) but within 200km, I have 40+ breeds of venomous snakes, 800kg bears, 90kg cats, 150kg bears, 20kg cats, wolves, and coyotes. All of which can have rabies. But the most dangerous animal of all the 7/11 crackhead is still wild here.

[@WinchesterxNL]

@@Rurik_Luci Where I live, the Netherlands. We do have some dangerous animals here still. Wolves are becoming more common again, we have a snake which I'm not sure what the English name for it is. The Dutch name is the Adder. Which I think is a Viper? Though do feel free to correct me if you know the better name for it. Boars are also still a thing that can be dangerous too. Sure they're not like the bears, wildcats, cougars (and not the sultry 40+ year old kind, we have those as well) coyotes or anything else. And it's not so much that we killed them all or anything, we do have quite a huge nature reservation law here. We just make sure those areas are closed off for humans. It's a different approach, but for us it seems to work. Not sure how effective that will be to the 7/11 crackhead though. Those haven't been around here, from my experience. At least I haven't seen one in the wild yet. Some alcoholics or other junkies, sure. But they tend to hide in their own shelters, they're mostly harmless. I get needing guns and such. Don't get me wrong. I fully understand that the US can be quite dangerous, especially in the wilderness (or the suburbs even.) It's sometimes just a bit wild to see all of that in comparison. Since your second amendment isn't something that's quite a thing here. And a lot of other areas that do also have gun regulations in the US are in major cities, which have little to no wildlife. But people still feel the need to carry (concealed, open, doesn't matter) to have a genuine feeling of safety. Because "what if the robber pulls a gun on me." when over here, being robbed is not going to happen with a gun, in most cases it would be with a knife or something like it. And even if a gun was present, hardly anyone here would consider pulling a trigger. There's this difference. As for shooting ranges or something, I believe that there's a total of 50 here in the Netherlands? I might even be highballing that. Though I'm no expert in any case. Lol. There's just a sheer difference. And it's sometimes pretty wild to see. As I'm sure you'll also have a few things you'd think is pretty wild as well that we might do that's not common in the US.

[@Gakoranus]

​@@Rurik_Luci This is some high level fucking trolling holy shit. You carry a gun so that you can shoot someone. Against a mountain lion or other large wild animal an American would do something smart like putting proper measures in place to avoid confrontation, respecting physical boundaries, maintaining clear lines of sight and exit routes and of course having a set of de-escalation techniques in reserve.

Bro. A tech reviewer talking about firearms?.....yeah subscribed!

[@pushin5500]

The Ruger mk4 is an absolute dream range plinker. As someone who grew up with firearms, I’ve had a .22lr gun in my collection since the beginning and the Ruger mk4 replaced all of them. It’s great to practice with and get comfortable with pistols. People really underestimate how hard it can be to shoot accurately with a pistol so it’s important to put a lot of time in and get used to it. Shame we don’t get to see your actual EDC, I can understand why though. Btw I think it’s awesome you showed a firearm in the video. I saw a couple people down here complaining about it and cringing but I think it’s awesome. Lots of people don’t know what it’s like to A. Be attacked and B. Have something to lose from that attack. You have a family to protect now so i think it’s great to show off other parts of your life like this. 👍

I once picked up a branded pen with a black Kaco cartridge inside. When opening it up after writing for a bit, it really surprised me that it wasn't from a pen brand with a larger share of the market (Pilot, Zebra, Uni etc.) Really consistent and the lines were among the darkest I've seen out of all black pens. Unfortunately needed to move on pretty quickly, though, since the pen didn't last for very long (only a month or two, if I recall correctly -- far shorter than something like a Pilot G-2).

I got my cert using the same gun. Just in case others may not be familiar, but the compensator's main purpose is to reduce muzzle flip, hence the ports are facing up, allowing the gas to push the muzzle down, and in effect increase accuracy with follow up shots. I really like the ceramic blade there in the phone case but something tells me i'll cut/poke myself more often than what i would expect.
