She is so good natured, and funny too. I really enjoy this channel, especially the way that they work/communicate with one another as they inform me.

[@GBGuns]

Thank you.

[@ms_freemant]

That's very kind of you to say, thank you. ~Teya

[@JJoker69]

Being 6'4" it doesn't matter which mag used, I have boxer reach, the firearm is uncomfortable to run, only using the OG mag mind is uncomfortable shouldering. I would like to have access to your attire, the crest is 2 cherries on top.... class...love it

[@edphillips8669]

Another great video GB, and a fine follow up to the first mag test video. To me it seems like the Stribog mag is the winner in this comparison. 👍🏻

[@31Nigel]

As always, an informative, easygoing, and insightful video. Thanks, you two! Love that you get the pronunciation correct--and make a point of it--at the very top! I'm not offended either way it's said, but one thing I did even before ordering mine (SP9A3S) was to research the name and get the Slovakian pronunciation down (STREE-bog). Kudos, and please keep up the superb content.

[@2aTommy]

You guys are a great team, thanks for the video 👍

[@E.IS.M.I.A.]

The reason I see a point in Glock mags is redundancy, if you already edc a Glock, the mag compatibility means less mags to buy. Which means more ammo and fun

[@r.j.macready5620]

Great video addressing the ergonomics of both. Some of the glock mag akwardness is resolved with small volume mags, but not the angle of switch out.

[@Talix.]

Thanks for all the Stribog content. I'm considering getting a SP9A3s, the mini bog. Haven't pulled the trigger yet but I'm close and your content helps!

[@GBGuns]

Thank you, we were the first to talk about the Stribog and feel a duty to provide as much fair information as possible.

[@JJoker69]

Test run if you can before you invest, I have a long reach and was able to play beforehand, only, fortunately, to realize it would be an investment not an enjoyment for me personally.

[@dallasroberts6932]

Did not mention this, but the failure on Tyla's run was the bolt holding open with a round in the mag as well. So it happened when both did the drill. That is an issue and could be a safety hazard if the person clearing the forearm does not check the chamber or pull the mag prior to closing the bolt.

[@GBGuns]

Yes, it's a magazine failure, when we did the Multi-Mag test for the review of the SP9A3G you see it happen with some mags, not others.

[@rayvelwatts3343]

Maaan! Great Analysis!! Same issue with TNW for big hands.. Anyhoo - didn't see this 'til i realized i got a GREAT DEAL on the "wrong" 1! (..wanted g-mag redundancy to pair with KelTec CQB) Here's to Happy Accidents😅 Thanks Again 4 The Knowledge! - Forward with Purpose

[@snowmanfl]

I solved all my SP9A3 feed issues by running the HBI short stroke buffer and the Ground Power curved 30rnd mags. It now feeds all FMJ and JHP i have put though it with out any issues

[@revolcane]

I have a Glock 19, PSA Dagger 9, Extar EP9, and a Ruger PC Carbine... pretty much the choice is clear for me

[@anier1582]

Great vid.

[@myfastcars]

I have a Brand New SP-10 A3 10mm Stribog. I have found out that there are not very many videos on the 10mm There also is NOT many vendors who have aftermarket parts for the 10mm. Some of the parts fit but most do NOT. Its difficult to be sure something will fit properly. One of them is aftermarket Magazines. Any idea what aftermarket mags will fit the 10mm lower?.

[@wayzooted]

Personally do not like the way glock mags look with a pcc. If I were to get an sp9a3, I'd have to go with the A3 Tactical lower and CZ mags for the reliability and durability. At that point there are other options when you start getting into that price range. Pulling for Grand Power but I think they might be years away.

[@kaliospits7831]

My only proble. Is thats mag release as well. One side slips the mag out smoothly and the other side is very hard to push down on to release the mag

[@whatsup24_7]

Yesss

[@mr.m2556]

Another great one on the Stribog magazine topic. Would you consider a Stribog aftermarket comparison of the plethora of accessories?

[@GBGuns]

No as I don't see a need for them. To me those are mostly spending money just to spend money.

[@fredzeppelin21]

The only ammo my sp91 chokes up on is flat nosed hollows and once in a while 115g. It’ll be a decade later and we’ll still be discussing Stribog mags 🤣

[@t2brfu67]

Curves FTW!

[@rickalexander2801]

Another solid video Graham. Grand Power is an underrated company in my opinion. Also, HB industries has some great accessories for the bog.

[@dskennels210]

I have a second gen A1 and only had 1 issue thru 300 rds and that was with the straight mag with flat nose 147 federal. I don't have 1k rounds to truly get a feel for it but imo I think it'll make a good self defense pistol for home use .

[@wayne6386]

Do you still prefer your A1 over the A3?

[@dskennels210]

@@wayne6386 can't compare cuz I never shot a A3 but I haven't had a single issue with my A1

[@wayne6386]

@dskennels210 Thanks for letting me know. I also have an A1 and was wondering if the A3 has enough difference to go through the trouble and money for the upgrade 🔫

[@dskennels210]

@wayne6386 only thing I'm considering upgrading too is the smaller version

[@jasondismuke4837]

I'm trying to figure out if the new curved magazines are 922r compliant.

[@GBGuns]

It doesn't matter on a pistol.

[@jasondismuke4837]

@Graham Baates but it does if I plan to SBR it. Every US made part is a part in the right direction.

[@fpav4049]

Glad I went with the 9A3s.

[@wayne6386]

Pls elaborate, why A3 over A1? Does the roller delayed worth the difference in price?

[@JG-gw5cc]

Sir, You have done the most testing that I have seen with the bog’s…. Are you seeing the feed lips brake on any of the curved mags…. I have purchased 10 over the last couple years and 4 have broken on the lips…. I seem to cause a lot of problems/issues with my complaints about the 9mm mags. I know there are lowers, however I believe the company should fix a defective product. Maybe a video from you would validate the problem if you have experienced it. Thanks!

[@GBGuns]

I have yet to experience it, but I also never slam a mag in on a closed bolt. I think that's likely the cause of the cracked lips. I've got over 30 Stribog magazines and have yet to crack one.

[@petermonck5448]

Teya is right. Traditional magazine is the one.

[@user-jetmachinist]

A3 with a curved mag is the best !

[@wayne6386]

Do you think the A3 roller delayed is a big difference, or just buy the Gen2 and save some money?

[@migo9625]

now i want a sp9a3s with the glock lower

[@randomactsofriding4850]

Can you swap the lowers?

[@GBGuns]

I don't see why not, but I also don't see why you'd want to.

[@randomactsofriding4850]

@@GBGuns because they do not sale a sp9a3gs. You can get a short bog but it’ll take bog mags. No short one that takes Glock mags. If you had a sp9a3g and sp9a3s you could make a shorter Glock mag one if you can swap lowers

[@GBGuns]

True. That would give you both the ballistic disadvantage of the shorter barrel and the magazine disadvantage of Glock mags. Ag reat way to add challenge!

[@CampDavid54]

Stribog sbr to be ?

[@strongbear9304]

Contact your Senator and complain. I spoke with Senator Mike Lee’s 2A Staffer yesterday and filed a formal complaint thru his office. They (“AFT”)have to respond in writing within a certain amount of time. Director Steve Dettelbach wouldn’t take my call or his secretary wouldn’t put my call thru. I’m going to continue to try until they either take my call or they get tired of me!

Before watching: Scorpion mags work the best. . . Well... Guess we'll never know 😂

What us the advantage of a Scorpion mag over a Grand Power mag? Getting to buy another lower or getting to buy a bunch of mags?

[@davidhartley6232]

@@GBGuns mags have a proven track record, cheaper, more readily available, and used across more platforms. Stribog mags have an unsettling history 🤷‍♂️ from what I have learned while sitting on my couch.

@@davidhartley6232 There certainly was a lot of user-induced failures (slapping the mag with a closed bolt). Of our 22 mags we've had one bind up when using low-grade (high case friction) ammo.

Wouldn’t practice fix all of that? If it was your only gun and that’s all you shot with, you’d be proficient with it.

[@GBGuns]

Yes, you can train to run anything. This video was made because people asked for the differences between these two models. The only effective difference is the mag, and the mag changes how the gun handles.

[@HYDRAdude]

I never understood why so many people want PCCs with glock mags.

[@GBGuns]

Glock Mags are reliable (generally) and available everywhere. What people forget is that they're not as easy to load as a real SMG magazine and have a crazy angle.

[@RIPPER334]

What? This seems like your just looking for something...

[@GBGuns]

Precisely, looking to show what the operational difference is between the two different feeding systems.

[@JJoker69]

I believe that they are looking to inform us about options based on their experience..... which is more than mine and possibly yours? Keep an eye on this and let me know if it moves .

@@GBGuns goofys meaning us the audience. I mean this is probably the same reason many hate glock pcc's. You guys arn't wrong. I do feel the mag hold grip made yalls comparison a little biased. I prefer to cheek grip the Stribog w/ no braces or stock.

[@GBGuns]

It was the insertion of magazines that was awkward about it,not support hand grip. The angle is just wrong and workspace too cramped.

[@prophecy0731]

@@GBGuns I never used a glock mag well PCC but their so expensive for such a poor direct blowback platform. Stribog seems like an optimal alternative. What I got out of this is: Glock mags are for Glocks(pistols); stop forcing glock mags on every PDW.

Glock is not the answer to everything

Correct, but it's a decent place to start for those wanting that 90's vibe and tech.
