Stupid Internet Gun Stuff - Ammo Psychosis

I took fighting pistol in November of 2020. I learned more in two days there about fighting with a pistol than I did in twenty years in the army. I was a tanker. My primary weapon was a 105 mm gun. The importance of OEM magazines can’t be over emphasized. Carrying an extra magazine just in case something goes wrong is realizing something can go wrong.

[@friendofcoal]

Doesn't the M-1 Have a 120mm smooth bore gun?

[@preclovis]

@@friendofcoal The first M1 tanks were fitted with a 105 MM gun. I got my first M1 in 1982. 3ID Kitzingen Germany.

[@friendofcoal]

@@preclovis 2nd/41st FA 3ID Bad Kissingen, West Germany 84-85. Did a FTX in Kitzingen for a couple of days once. The 2nd/11th ACR, also in Bad Kissingen, got their M-1's before I got there, and they were headed to Vilseck-Graf to pick up their Bradley's when I left. I think the 3ID already had both by the time I left.

Hey, James. I've been watching your stuff since I was a kid. A lot of the stuff I learned carried over into the Army, especially the mindset concepts. I'm proud to see you powering through your speech impediment and continuing to give us great information. Stay in the fight, man! You've got a lot of people watching your back.

Go take Advanced Fighting Pistol. I can’t compare it to Fighting Pistol. It is an eye opening class that you will never forget!

[@STANDupPhilosopher73]

Many people have said it, but Clint has been quoted numerous times teaching "not the exact words but in a nutshell" that a spare magazine is not always about ammo, it is much faster to seat a fresh mag and stay in the fight than it is to figure out WTF went wrong with the old one, I carry a spare on me, another in my bag (medical) and another in the glove box of my truck. forgive me if I quote Clint a second time in that no one has ever got into a fight and wished they didn't bring so much ammo, again, maybe not his "exact" words but the message is clear. Thank you, James, for another awesome video!

Have been following you for years now, James. Regards from Barcelona, Spain. GREAT VIDEO. I’ve learnt a lot from your advice and although in Spain guns are severely restricted, I can still apply your teachings to ordinary life. “Only actions that have been consistently repeated under a training environment will be replicated under stress”. Wise words.

James, I have heard about the eight round shots somewhere along the way. The rest makes so much sense. My daughter and I will be on the range all day Saturday putting to use what your team has taught us. I will pass along this video information for her.

[@heyoldtime8969]

James I was watching an interview with two of the FBI agents involved with the Miami Massacre . One of them said something that has stuck with me for years. He said ( carry as much ammunition as you can ) Now I realize his situation was extreme but nonetheless its good advice. I agree factory mags are the best. Good job JY keep a good attitude buddy.

[@SpookyFow]

I know a retired cop who was at the North Hollywood bank robbery shootout. He would absolutely agree with that agents observation. He ran out of ammo and had to hunker down behind a parking block. He lay there taking fire for 10 minutes or more and couldn't do anything about it. And like the Miami incident, they were outgunned. He carried a service revolver and 12 spare rounds. He had a shotgun but didn't have time to get it out. I think about what he went through often.

[@TheWhiteboy40]

Everyone should forward this video to all the people we all know that are these such people James is talking about. Unfortunately these same people are stuck in a Ammo twilight zone and would not get it. Great video James. AIM FOR KNOWLEDGE is key I say.

[@jago668]

You can't make people learn. My mother was President/CEO of a credit union. They'd have people come in for car loans, be told the credit union would do the loan but that the people really needed to look for a car 5, 10, 15 whatever thousand less than what they were looking at. People wouldn't listen and in 18 months the car would be sitting in front of the credit union, or the jet skis they had to have. My mother said for decades, "You can't tell anyone anything." That's why they don't want you make someone come to the classes.

[@ghostpunkkilla]

I like having lots of ammo, just in OEM mags.

[@frugalprepper]

Having a spare mag is important too, because if you have a mag malfunction. I got some training in Ohio last year. I don't think it's as good as your, but still was eye opening. When you are moving around cover and obstacles under stress, it's amazing how your normally 100% reliable gun can turn into a jam-o-matic. I normally tap rack and when it doesn't go back into service, I normally just rip out the mag drop it, rack 2 times, and put in a new mag, and rack again. Normally I think this is a double feed, but I try not to get into the habit of looking at the gun to put it back into service.

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

Yes, that training wasn't as good.

By the 1990’s it was the rule of sixes and by the time I retired in ‘04, they were teaching the rule of tens (they probably rounded up 😊). Always carry a spare FACTORY mag and get training.

[@johnshepherd8687]

Ever notice that virtually every person who carriers a microcompact carriers it with the 10 or 11 round flush magazine and the hicap as a spare? So what is the difference between something like a Springfield EMP with the 10 round mag and a P365 in terms of capacity? If you get into that movie gunfight then you will be reloading at the same time.
