Ed Solomons. One of the few people who can discuss owning guns most of us will never afford, without being smug or elitist. Really interesting video. Spot on philosophy, we graft so we can enjoy owning nice things relative to what we can afford but it’s being out there enjoying the sport that matters.

Know how you feel Ed I owned 26 in total including many gold custom ones my first one in 1975 and at the time was the only krieghoff shooter in this country so I'm glad the rest eventually copied me and gave me many wins at world European and domestic

[@the45er]

Solomons would be my first choice in instructors as well. Good stuff here.

I just like Ed’s complete bluntness to everything, so refreshing ! Keep the good videos coming 👍👍👍👍

[@windym709]

@@davidjohansson2282 Miroku built the 3000 using a sliding top latch as have numerous others, it’s a type of locking mechanism and not peculiar to one manufacturer. How many modern day manufacturers use the Boss action?

[@davidjohansson2282]

@@windym709 Remington sold the manufacturing rights of the Model 32 to Krieghoff which became the K-32 and later the upgraded K-80. Since then there have been a few other that have used the sliding top latch system.

[@windym709]

@@davidjohansson2282 no the rights to the M32 were sold to Hal Dupont, Krieghoff purchased the rights to the action from there, no comparison really as the later 3200 was made of Swiss cheese and had issues with its forend and breech face, they sold lots of them but they were not of the highest quality, shame really as a a nice gun, I owned a 3200 that had the recall repair for 30 years. The K gun on the other hand is far higher quality with entirely different internals.

[@jaredbaugh250]

This format is fantastic. It's really a nice alternative to watch this kind of discussion without the energy of the field. Don't get me wrong the discussions on a course are great but this is a nice change of pace. Keep up the great content from a fan of yours from the USA.

[@jimmarcham6271]

Beautiful guns, and a riveting video once again. Above & beyond the pretty things however, I would like to wish Mr Solomons all the very best with his health issues, whatever they may be - it's always a pleasure to watch him weave his magic.

[@charlesholder8009]

Thanks Ed. I always learn from these videos, I went out today and did not clean my guns 👌

Nice honest and insightful video. Ed comes across as a straight talking no nonsense guy. An all round good egg! Nice guns as well...!

[@geewillikers5342]

Hope Ed’s doing well, knew something was off when the piss was not taken.

[@RobGreenside]

Everytime I watch this video- I pick up something I missed before- great work Jonny. All the other videos you and Ed have done are second to none. You are very fortunate to have Ed and great gun clubs to film your videos at. Very informative at the highest level in every regard. Thanks again sir. Best regards from Missouri, USA.

[@richardflagg3084]

Always a pleasure to watch. Especially when you have Ed on, regardless of the topic.

[@blackadder1966]

Im considering a krieghoff at the moment, but getting to try one is not easy here in Australia. If I do get one it will be a basic model, engraving looks great. Unfortunately, it won't improve my shooting.

[@scottmills3573]

Gday Paul, I found buying my Krieghoff through the Australian agent 6 years ago to be a great experience and a decision that I’ve never once regretted.

[@dankruger2890]

I bought a used k80 and it sure hits the clays hard with the titanium full choke. Very nice gun

[@juancarlosbelletti6335]

He visto muchos videos de krieghoff y ya comenté todo lo que tenía que decir de la marca PERO SIEMPRE ES LINDO RECORDAR ESOS MOMENTOS VIVIDOS

[@3000waterman]

Enormously likeable guys. Solomons is so straight talking - thank God. I do wish they wouldn't wear hats whilst inside. It's such a vulgar habit. I'm still using my vintage B2G, but goodness I'm tempted.

[@markwierzbicki5307]

A man after my own heart! I don't do or want a safe queen! If its not going to be used its not going to be in there. Great video as always.

[@glennpreussccim4272]

Another great video from Johnny and Ed. I was surprised to see the adjustable combs on his custom stocks until he explained that his weight fluctuates giving him the need to make adjustments from time to time. I feel very fortunate to have two incredible clays guns. Ed, he's living the life with three.

[@basshnter1997]

Enjoyed the video. Ed seems so down to earth and brutally honest. But, please no electrical tape. I won't even use that stuff on wiring.

what kindz of chokes Ed has on his K80?I need them too.

[@CraigK80]

I shot beretta for a good while, moving onto a new DT11 EELL to mark a milestone birthday. Had nothing but problems with it. Ended up writing off 2022 comps and shooting as it was back and to to GMK so many times, ended up having 4 DT11 swaps, all with different issues until I lost confidence and gave up with the brand. September 22 I got a K80 SS and what a refreshing change that was, different animal than the DT11 and has took some time to adjust but my scores have continued to improve. I’ve had zero issues, so many positive comments and the support from Alan Rhone is second to non. I agree with everything Ed says, they are simply superb pieces of engineering. I’d never sell mine, but I would like to add another. Great vid guys! ❤ PS we need a factory tour with JC and ED. Road trip!

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

Beautiful tools, but, like automotive tools, do you really need Snap-On (Krieghoff) to do the job? A comfortable home sounds better to me.

It appears that shooting well at clay develops an ability to handle questions with instinctive sharpness. There is a responsiveness to this interviewee that reminds one that you have to anticipate and lead to address the issue before the focus vanishes. Fun, fun!

Very straight shooting guy. The chokes that hit hard are very interesting. seem really long, maybe there's something to the chokes shape, that allow them hit harder, pattern wise. I would like my next gun to have them characteristics of abnormally hard hitting.

I would be interested to know how you insure guns like this. Dedicated gun insurance or some sort of specialist home contents insurance

[@michelt4390]

In most case, they'll simply fall under your home policy. - And just like art pieces, you'll need to make sure you have sufficient coverage... and have supporting documentation (appraisal) of said art pieces (or firearms)
