I personally got this gun because I wanted that extra sense of safety because my one year old is constantly pulling and touching around me and it just makes me feel good knowing there’s 3 ways to stop anything from hurting him. And it actually shoots very well really like this gun

Just bought mine and I love it. I honestly don't mind the grip safety. I've had it on another s&w. I get along with it well for sport/ range shooting. It fits my hand and my wife's hand well. All around for me, it's already my favorite.

Thanks for the video. I have the Equalizer and have shot many rounds and have not had any problems with the backstrap, as a matter of fact, most of the time i don't even know its there. Very easy to rack, the 3 mags are a plus.

I just purchased this. After shooting for 45 years It’s nearly impossible for me to lock the slides back anymore on the ones I’ve had for quite a while. I can lock the slide on this real easy, but I’m having trouble getting the slide off and on for cleaning without touching that grip safety. Still haven’t shot it yet. Hoping it will be easier once I put a couple hundred rounds through it. Thanks for the awesome video!

I own an Equalizer and I have installed a green laser and light along with my Holosun green dot. I'm not a fan of the back strap but I sure like my thumb safety. I'm an old man at the age of 71. I love Smith & Wesson.

Thank you so much for breaking this weapon down! I juse brought one of these and I needed to know the field striping and oilingg aspects of this weapon. I did not consider the bast strape safety when I brought it and I am concerned if I grip the gun right when I need it most. But I will get out of the range and learn it via muscle memory. Again, thank you for breaking this down for us.

I have arthritis and carpal tunnel, I found this is the easiest gun for me to use. I appreciate the video, showing me how to clean it, been very helpful. I do have a question, what was the last thing you used to wipe off the excess oil? I know you used to microfiber cloth with the white cloth at the end was that a Kleenex?
@jeffofalltrades84899 ай бұрын
It was not, that is a special cloth used for wiping down lenses of microscopes. No scratches left behind or extra lint. Any towel can be used though. It doesn't have to be anything special

Great video. Very informative. I also have a Equalizer and do pretty much the same as you with the cleaning and oiling. I also agree with you that I don't like the back strap safety either. I keep searching KZbin to see if someone has posted a video on how to completely strip the slide and the frame just to see if there is any way to remove or disengage the back strap safety. So far, no luck with that.
@jeffofalltrades84896 ай бұрын
Unfortunately I doubt you'll find that ... since it's a safety thing, KZbin would take that down in SECONDS...it's the world we live in now...

Most all Smith and Wesson handguns I know you have to use a tool, There’s a little piece of metal on the inside once you pull the magazine back, push that lever down and forward, and you do not have to pull the trigger to remove the slide

@jeffofalltrades84897 ай бұрын
The oil is just a thicker application. If you shoot every day, or the gun doesn't sit around, the spray is fine. I like to use the oil for better protection. When it comes to cleaning your guns, it mainly is personal preference just keep them wet!

I don't know why you would...I never tried that and not sure how the plastics would be effected by that. Brake cleaner is pretty abrasive.
