Stress testing and stress training is probably the main component and reason for most training. It teaches you how to adapt, maintain calmness, and think as clearly as you can under pressure as well as maintaining dexterity and control; as dexterity and control are usually the first things you tend to lose when under stress and in hi pressure situations. So gaining the confidence as well as ability in those situations is the main thing that can come out of most training. But also what works best for you as well

Just a heads up those plate carriers usually have a second plate pouch inside the main plate pouch to keep the plate from bouncing around inside and to separate it from the soft body armor that was typically used in conjunction with the rifle plates. You can also add a cummerbund, thats what the big slot on the back is for.

A trick I learned for using flapped pouches is either tuck the flap into the back of the pouch as there is usually still enough friction to hold the mags in. OR, you can drag your hand from below and up the pouch under the flap and lifting/ hold the flap up with your thumb and grab the mag with your free fingers, pulling the mag up to your thumb. It helps limit the fumbling with the flap when trying to grab and index a mag.

Don't sweat not remembering everything about your guns. While I may not have as many guns as you have access to, I do have quite a few, and remembering how each of them operates and the disassembly/assembly procedures for them all is actually pretty tough to do once you get a good collection going. That's why I rely on KZbin videos such as yours to re-remind me of things I have long since forgotten. As for the Cordura Mag Pouches, remember, the plate carrier is used and it was exposed to weather etc... If you force the mags in and let them sit for a bit, you will find that they will likely loosen up the pouches so that 2 mags will easily fit in each. In other words, they shrank and you need to stretch them back out a bit. Thanks for well-detailed video and keep them coming.

As a kid before shooting a new gun my dad always made me read the manual cover to cover. My uncle got a usp 40 when I was probably 10 so I have been aware of the decocker for 20 years now lol. Reading manuals isn't fun but it can prove to be useful from time to time.

Hey Lucas. You should get ahold of Tim Pool's people and give him some weapons training on his show. Your politics might not match completely but his somewhat recent appreciation of the 2A is great for the gun community and would be great exposure for you too. He could use some training and from what I've seen his house could use some better security.

@@brentparks2292 to me I never even saw them as outdated products even today. Its funny how Lucas took an Eagle Industries MAP pack and was like "yea just get this cheap backpack!" and im like "CHEAP!?!??!" those things used to be like 250 from LBT. And even then, no one wanted the LBT one, everyone wanted the OG Eagle one. I remember when I scored an eagle map pack in multicam for deployment I was like "HOLY FUCK IM GONNA BE SET BOI!" HAHAHA and I still have it and still rock it on my JPC. MAP packs are my number 1 pack to run I love them. You can literally put anything you need in them

@@Donnydarco100 all still fantastic companies but mannnn back in like 2010-2015? Those were the OG gear companies everyone went after. Tactical Tailor made some amazing shit too. our ODA team sergeant had this sick backpack which at the time was revolutionary to me (me being an 11B saw gunner) that clipped onto your PC on the back. you just Molle two clips on top, two clips on the bottom, you fold in the backpack straps and you can just clip this bag on and off. I would just fill up 5 or 6 nut sacks for my saw, throw them in that backpack and roll into villages with that. If I ran out of ammo on my PC, I just unclipped the pack, pulled out more nut sacks, clipped it back on and I was ready to rock again. Still have that one to this day also its actually my work backpack. Too bad its not really a "grey man" pack because its in MC that clearly has afghan dust still in it XD

Your point about shooting a plate leaning against a chair is so spot on. Newton's 3rd Law. A real test would be mounting it to a big cedar tree that has the same radius as the curvature of the plate so it's fully supported. This will provide the maximum resistance from any energy transfer to the back stop rather than the plate. Think of it like holding a piece of wood in the air and trying to hammer a nail through it vs providing a solid backing for the wood to drive the nail. One scenario will definitely isolate the material strength of the wood over the other.

My first gun I ever shot was a USP, thanks counterstrike. Way before I got into glock. Don't worry there's a lot about those guns that people still don't know. The decocker was one of them. It only came on a couple of generations. I think that one is the gen 1 if it's D/S saftey decocker. Could be wrong though, glad you're shooting that thing though I would love to own one but they are very expensive. Nice video!

@bomber, no, even having cheap gear can be beneficial over a t shirt with mags dropping out of your pockets. There’s always a place for a low cost setup such as your trunk or behind the seat of a truck. I’d rather have the ability to protect my vitals wearing a Condor or knock off rig carrying plates than a cotton shirt holding zero armor.

Picked up a UCP camo plate carrier from Blackhawk for $133 on sale back well over 12 years ago. It was made in 2007. Still have it today and still rocking it. I just had to get everything else in UCP camo tho lol but it's all good. Good for urban environments and Canadian winters. Sometime having a basic PC with armor and pouches to carry your stuff is all you need. It might not seem like much but in 2022 with all of this talking about a potential WW3 and seeing civies in Ukraine with nothing but homemade bottles as weapons, having the least amount of tacticool gear is something to be grateful for. Heck even if it's airsoft grade, it's better than nothing.

Those Eagle Ind. M4 pouches are doubles. You can tell because they have the extra long loop Velcro and extra long flaps to accommodate both single and double mags. Eagle Industries shipped them extra tight. When you first get them you’re supposed to force a pair of STANAGs in there and leave them that way for a couple days. They will stretch out making it easier to insert two mags. ETA: you can also dunk the mag pouches in water with a pair of mags in it and let it dry out. Should dry out even more stretched out.

My first pistol was a USP 45 and I had the same issue with proprietary light mount, I keep it cause it was my first and I enjoy shooting it from time to time, but it was a learning experience for sure. I managed to find an adapter for 1913 to mount a light but it won't fit a holster without modding. Speaking of learning experiences, that set up looks like my airsoft kit from way back (except the crotch killing dump pouch lkl)...that strap vs cummerbund and chest mounted holster are things Im glad I figured out back then and ingrained good interferences checks on everything anytime I change even a single thing on gear.
