Hi there and welcome to the guns

undefined
Speaker:
biggest gun talk programs. (00:11):
undefined
Speaker:
Thanks for joining us again. (00:13):
undefined
Speaker:
I'm your host, Brent Wheat. (00:14):
undefined
Speaker:
And as usual, I am joined by my
co-host, Roy Huntington. (00:15):
undefined
Speaker:
And we're going to talk about
all the great fun stuff. (00:19):
undefined
Speaker:
And I think we've got a good (00:22):
undefined
Speaker:
show today that is going to (00:23):
undefined
Speaker:
involve our viewers and (00:24):
undefined
Speaker:
listeners. (00:26):
undefined
Speaker:
So anyway, before we get there,
Roy, how are you doing today? (00:27):
undefined
Speaker:
I'm just at the tail end of ten
days alone here. (00:32):
undefined
Speaker:
Susie's been on a bear hunt in (00:35):
undefined
Speaker:
Canada or as she says, Canada, (00:37):
undefined
Speaker:
you know, and I'm always amazed (00:40):
undefined
Speaker:
at the men I know who say, (00:42):
undefined
Speaker:
really? (00:44):
undefined
Speaker:
I mean, Holy cow, what do you do
when they're gone? (00:45):
undefined
Speaker:
I mean, yeah, do you go out to
eat every day? (00:49):
undefined
Speaker:
I mean, they're just like, are
you really that useless? (00:52):
undefined
Speaker:
You know, it's like, well, no.
And congrats to Susie. (00:55):
undefined
Speaker:
I, Susie actually went in my
place. (00:59):
undefined
Speaker:
I was going to go on this hunt (01:02):
undefined
Speaker:
and I had some major unexpected (01:04):
undefined
Speaker:
expenses. (01:05):
undefined
Speaker:
I was literally ready to say I'm
coming. (01:06):
undefined
Speaker:
And then I opened that bill from
the hospital and it's ha! (01:08):
undefined
Speaker:
So Susie jumped in my spot and
Susie got a cinnamon phase and a (01:13):
undefined
Speaker:
black bear the same day. (01:18):
undefined
Speaker:
What was it the first day she
got there or something? (01:20):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (01:23):
undefined
Speaker:
Like a by noon she had tagged
out. (01:23):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (01:25):
undefined
undefined
Speaker:
You should see if you can put a
flash picture of it in here. (01:26):
undefined
Speaker:
Okay. (01:30):
undefined
Speaker:
I can do that. (01:30):
undefined
Speaker:
I can people can see it. (01:31):
undefined
Speaker:
Good looking bear. (01:32):
undefined
Speaker:
So, uh, I've committed to next
year. (01:33):
undefined
Speaker:
If I have to sell plasma between
now and then, I'm going to go. (01:36):
undefined
Speaker:
So anyway. (01:39):
undefined
Speaker:
Sounded like a good time. (01:40):
undefined
Speaker:
And Susie will be back tonight. (01:41):
undefined
Speaker:
But today, Roy, we're going to (01:42):
undefined
Speaker:
talk about something that we use (01:44):
undefined
Speaker:
a lot. (01:46):
undefined
Speaker:
It is kind of our go to for
topics and that is our reader (01:46):
undefined
Speaker:
comments and emails. (01:51):
undefined
Speaker:
And as, as I've often said, I'm
not real good about replying. (01:53):
undefined
Speaker:
I do skim. (01:56):
undefined
Speaker:
I one hundred percent emails. (01:58):
undefined
Speaker:
I'm good about that fifty on on
comments. (01:59):
undefined
Speaker:
Roy is great on comments on
YouTube. (02:01):
undefined
Speaker:
He scans them every almost every (02:03):
undefined
Speaker:
day and replies to a lot of (02:05):
undefined
Speaker:
them. (02:07):
undefined
Speaker:
So between us, we see what
you're talking about and the (02:07):
undefined
Speaker:
questions you're asking. (02:10):
undefined
Speaker:
And today we're going to touch
on all that stuff. (02:10):
undefined
Speaker:
So we've got plenty of material
here. (02:13):
undefined
Speaker:
And I know Roy's got some too. (02:15):
undefined
Speaker:
So put on my reading enhancement (02:16):
undefined
Speaker:
glasses, and we're just going to (02:19):
undefined
Speaker:
jump right in with the first (02:20):
undefined
Speaker:
one. (02:21):
undefined
Speaker:
So Roy, a guy named Josh says,
hey, my name's Josh. (02:22):
undefined
Speaker:
I'm a recent subscriber. (02:25):
undefined
Speaker:
I've been enjoying all your
episodes uploaded with Brent (02:26):
undefined
Speaker:
Roy, especially the latest one,
the FUD Training Secret. (02:29):
undefined
Speaker:
And actually that was two ago (02:32):
undefined
Speaker:
now and that was episode three (02:34):
undefined
Speaker:
fifty five, uh, FUD training (02:36):
undefined
Speaker:
secrets. (02:38):
undefined
Speaker:
And I just had a question for
Brent and Roy about ammunition. (02:39):
undefined
Speaker:
About thirty eight special. (02:42):
undefined
Speaker:
My question is regarding the (02:44):
undefined
Speaker:
police use of the one hundred (02:45):
undefined
Speaker:
and fifty eight grain lead round (02:46):
undefined
Speaker:
nose. (02:48):
undefined
Speaker:
Why did police agencies across
the country use this round and (02:49):
undefined
Speaker:
why so long? (02:52):
undefined
Speaker:
And was it. (02:53):
undefined
Speaker:
Is it an effective round? (02:54):
undefined
Speaker:
I've seen arguments and testing
say it is, yet it gets a (02:55):
undefined
Speaker:
somewhat bad reputation. (02:58):
undefined
Speaker:
Thanks for your time. (02:59):
undefined
Speaker:
God bless. (03:00):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, I'll start out with my
answer. (03:01):
undefined
Speaker:
It's because that's what they
had at that point. (03:03):
undefined
Speaker:
And police departments tend to
go on low bid. (03:06):
undefined
Speaker:
And I think the FBI was using
it. (03:08):
undefined
Speaker:
So there was there was really, I
guess, nothing better. (03:10):
undefined
Speaker:
And if if when I came on, hollow
points were a thing. (03:14):
undefined
Speaker:
So we all carried hollow points, (03:18):
undefined
Speaker:
but we still trained with one (03:19):
undefined
Speaker:
hundred and fifty eight grain (03:20):
undefined
Speaker:
round nose. (03:21):
undefined
Speaker:
So, Roy, you probably started
back when that was like the high (03:22):
undefined
Speaker:
tech, wasn't it? (03:25):
undefined
Speaker:
That was cutting edge technology
right there. (03:27):
undefined
Speaker:
But but no, you're right. (03:29):
undefined
Speaker:
I mean, essentially that was the
only thing. (03:31):
undefined
Speaker:
It was available in one hundred (03:33):
undefined
Speaker:
and fifty eight grain round (03:34):
undefined
Speaker:
nosed lead ammunition at about (03:35):
undefined
Speaker:
eight hundred feet per second, (03:37):
undefined
Speaker:
you know, but it killed a lot of (03:38):
undefined
Speaker:
people. (03:40):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (03:41):
undefined
Speaker:
You know. (03:41):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (03:42):
undefined
Speaker:
And I don't know if the cops
were better shots in those days (03:42):
undefined
Speaker:
or people gave up more or I'm
not sure, you know, but when I, (03:46):
undefined
Speaker:
I was a reserve in Chula Vista
in the middle seventies when we (03:51):
undefined
Speaker:
had we got virtually the like,
almost the only hollow point. (03:54):
undefined
Speaker:
Thirty eight special load of
Remington Peters. (03:58):
undefined
Speaker:
One twenty five hollow Point,
which was terrible, by the way. (04:00):
undefined
Speaker:
And, and at the same time, Super (04:04):
undefined
Speaker:
Bowl was about really the only (04:06):
undefined
Speaker:
other competition. (04:07):
undefined
Speaker:
And then I was really expensive. (04:09):
undefined
Speaker:
I remember that. (04:11):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah, yeah. (04:11):
undefined
Speaker:
Agencies would never have done
that. (04:12):
undefined
Speaker:
And then when I was hired by the
San Diego Police Department in (04:14):
undefined
Speaker:
seventy eight, we carried a
bullet I really liked it was one (04:18):
undefined
Speaker:
hundred and fifty eight grain
lead semi wadcutter at about (04:22):
undefined
Speaker:
eight hundred and fifty nine
hundred feet per second. (04:27):
undefined
Speaker:
It was interesting. (04:29):
undefined
Speaker:
It was branded Smith and Wesson. (04:29):
undefined
Speaker:
I never did learn who actually (04:31):
undefined
Speaker:
loaded it for, you know, but it (04:33):
undefined
Speaker:
would have been Federal (04:35):
undefined
Speaker:
Winchester or somebody like that (04:36):
undefined
Speaker:
probably. (04:37):
undefined
Speaker:
But yeah, you know, we killed a
lot of bad guys with that. (04:38):
undefined
Speaker:
And I mean, it was really
effective. (04:41):
undefined
Speaker:
As a matter of fact, we were all (04:43):
undefined
Speaker:
kind of sad when that went away (04:44):
undefined
Speaker:
and we had to adopt a hollow (04:45):
undefined
Speaker:
point. (04:46):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah, yeah. (04:47):
undefined
Speaker:
Wow. (04:48):
undefined
Speaker:
So I guess, Josh, the answer to
your question is it's better (04:49):
undefined
Speaker:
than a stick or a rock. (04:53):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah, there are better options
at this point. (04:55):
undefined
Speaker:
So that's, that's kind of I
think we agree on that take. (04:58):
undefined
Speaker:
So yeah, you'll like this one. (05:02):
undefined
Speaker:
Roy thank the subject line says
thank you, Yosemite Sam. (05:05):
undefined
Speaker:
And that's, uh, referencing, I
think it was our last episode (05:09):
undefined
Speaker:
says, yeah, and this is from
Sigma Pi doc. (05:12):
undefined
Speaker:
And I thought this was
interesting because it says, (05:16):
undefined
Speaker:
thanks for all the great advice. (05:18):
undefined
Speaker:
I love listening to podcasts,
driving home from work. (05:19):
undefined
Speaker:
PS I live in Joplin, Mo and have
been looking around Roy for Roy (05:22):
undefined
Speaker:
around town for years, like
Where's Waldo, but with Roy and (05:28):
undefined
Speaker:
his mustache, nothing nefarious. (05:31):
undefined
Speaker:
Just to say thanks for
everything and shake your hand. (05:33):
undefined
Speaker:
Thanks both. (05:35):
undefined
Speaker:
So where's Roy? (05:36):
undefined
Speaker:
That may be our new our new
thing, so. (05:38):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, you know, if you see me,
for gosh sakes, make sure you (05:42):
undefined
Speaker:
stick your hand out. (05:45):
undefined
Speaker:
Somebody in Menards the other
day saw me there. (05:46):
undefined
Speaker:
A guy was with his wife a couple
aisles over and he was like, (05:49):
undefined
Speaker:
really looking at me. (05:52):
undefined
Speaker:
And I just like, you know, (05:53):
undefined
Speaker:
hello, I'm not in my head or (05:54):
undefined
Speaker:
something. (05:56):
undefined
Speaker:
Then finally he looked down. (05:56):
undefined
Speaker:
He shook his head and he walked
around. (05:57):
undefined
Speaker:
He stuck his hand out and he (05:59):
undefined
Speaker:
said, You're Roy Huntington, (06:00):
undefined
Speaker:
aren't you? (06:02):
undefined
Speaker:
You know. (06:02):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (06:03):
undefined
Speaker:
And it was very polite. (06:03):
undefined
Speaker:
And everybody I always loved to
meet people. (06:04):
undefined
Speaker:
I, I go to Brandon's here in, in
Joplin. (06:06):
undefined
Speaker:
I was going to say, I know (06:10):
undefined
Speaker:
you're at Brandon's a lot all (06:11):
undefined
Speaker:
the time. (06:13):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (06:13):
undefined
Speaker:
I mean, two or three days a
week. (06:13):
undefined
Speaker:
So keep your eyes open there. (06:15):
undefined
Speaker:
I look forward to seeing you. (06:17):
undefined
Speaker:
Excellent. (06:18):
undefined
Speaker:
Okay. (06:20):
undefined
Speaker:
Our next one is from Rick. (06:20):
undefined
Speaker:
And let's see, I was doing some
reading about a certain caliber (06:22):
undefined
Speaker:
and found it had a fascinating
story history behind it. (06:26):
undefined
Speaker:
So I thought, how about a show
that discusses the history of (06:28):
undefined
Speaker:
these various calibers and why
they exist and why there's so (06:31):
undefined
Speaker:
many of them. (06:35):
undefined
Speaker:
Anyhow, keep up the good work. (06:36):
undefined
Speaker:
So yeah, but the problem there
is the embarrassment of riches. (06:37):
undefined
Speaker:
Which one do we tackle? (06:41):
undefined
Speaker:
I don't know that we've ever (06:43):
undefined
Speaker:
done a caliber load specific (06:44):
undefined
Speaker:
show. (06:46):
undefined
Speaker:
Or did we, Roy, I can't remember (06:46):
undefined
Speaker:
after three hundred and fifty (06:48):
undefined
Speaker:
six episodes. (06:49):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, you know, we've done we've
covered the thirty eight. (06:50):
undefined
Speaker:
We've covered the thirty two
Magnum. (06:53):
undefined
Speaker:
Three twenty seven pretty well. (06:55):
undefined
Speaker:
You know, I know we did a show, (06:57):
undefined
Speaker:
I think on like ridiculous (06:58):
undefined
Speaker:
calibers. (07:00):
undefined
Speaker:
Why do we even have this? (07:01):
undefined
Speaker:
You know? (07:03):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (07:03):
undefined
Speaker:
But I don't think we've ever, (07:04):
undefined
Speaker:
other than that really devoted a (07:06):
undefined
Speaker:
show to like today we're going (07:07):
undefined
Speaker:
to talk about the two twenty one (07:09):
undefined
Speaker:
fireball. (07:11):
undefined
Speaker:
I mean, part of it for me is I
don't know that I know that much (07:12):
undefined
Speaker:
about all these calibers. (07:15):
undefined
Speaker:
It'd be easy to, you know, to
get more familiar. (07:16):
undefined
Speaker:
The only trouble with that, (07:20):
undefined
Speaker:
though, is when you have a (07:21):
undefined
Speaker:
single topic show like that, (07:22):
undefined
Speaker:
like today we talk about the, (07:24):
undefined
Speaker:
you know, the three hundred and (07:26):
undefined
Speaker:
eight. (07:28):
undefined
Speaker:
A lot of people say, I already
know about three hundred eight. (07:28):
undefined
Speaker:
I don't want to listen. (07:31):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (07:32):
undefined
Speaker:
Or I don't have a. Two twenty
seven Savage or whatever. (07:33):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (07:37):
undefined
Speaker:
So I don't care. (07:38):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (07:39):
undefined
Speaker:
So that's kind of that is a
problem. (07:40):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (07:42):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah, maybe. (07:43):
undefined
Speaker:
How about this though? (07:44):
undefined
Speaker:
Let's say if if you're
interested, let's make some (07:45):
undefined
Speaker:
comments about is there a
particular cartridge you would (07:49):
undefined
Speaker:
like to to see? (07:53):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (07:54):
undefined
Speaker:
And if you know, if we get
multiple, it's like, gee, I wish (07:54):
undefined
Speaker:
I knew more about the fill in
the blank and we'd see multiple (07:57):
undefined
Speaker:
questions about it. (08:00):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, then that probably would
be reasonable. (08:01):
undefined
Speaker:
Excellent idea. (08:04):
undefined
Speaker:
So moving on to backyard air
rifles. (08:05):
undefined
Speaker:
And that was just one or two
episodes ago. (08:07):
undefined
Speaker:
The FUD training secrets, as we
called it. (08:10):
undefined
Speaker:
And hey, Brent Roy just finished (08:13):
undefined
Speaker:
your podcast on air guns and (08:15):
undefined
Speaker:
love it. (08:17):
undefined
Speaker:
At sixty five. (08:17):
undefined
Speaker:
I'm a FUD, I guess. (08:19):
undefined
Speaker:
Said like you and Roy have had
BB guns and pellet guns and ya (08:20):
undefined
Speaker:
da da da da da da da. (08:23):
undefined
Speaker:
I'll close with this. (08:25):
undefined
Speaker:
I was up at the Villages in
Florida last week and they have (08:26):
undefined
Speaker:
an amazing airgun range. (08:28):
undefined
Speaker:
Brought my rifle and while
shooting it I met other fudds (08:31):
undefined
Speaker:
who had a. Or another FUD who
had a beautiful PCP pre-charged (08:34):
undefined
Speaker:
pneumatic with a trigger that
measured in ounces. (08:37):
undefined
Speaker:
Shooting that rifle made me feel
like I now need to get out and (08:40):
undefined
Speaker:
get a high quality PCP. (08:43):
undefined
Speaker:
And that was from Dan Nelson in
Florida. (08:45):
undefined
Speaker:
So I've been to the villages I
drive by there. (08:47):
undefined
Speaker:
We've got family and didn't (08:50):
undefined
Speaker:
realize they had an air rifle (08:52):
undefined
Speaker:
range. (08:53):
undefined
Speaker:
And it sounds like there's
probably knowing that crowd. (08:54):
undefined
Speaker:
It's older guys, typically a
little better off economically. (08:57):
undefined
Speaker:
So I bet they do do a lot of
airgun shooting there with with (09:01):
undefined
Speaker:
the good stuff. (09:05):
undefined
Speaker:
So, Roy, you ever thought about
moving to the villages? (09:06):
undefined
Speaker:
No, I never have. (09:09):
undefined
Speaker:
But but that I what a great idea
though to have an air gun range (09:11):
undefined
Speaker:
like that, you know, and, and I
hope they have like, I don't (09:15):
undefined
Speaker:
know, rental air guns or
something like that so people (09:19):
undefined
Speaker:
can try them out. (09:22):
undefined
Speaker:
But but that he is exactly right (09:23):
undefined
Speaker:
though, if you're really (09:25):
undefined
Speaker:
interested, the difference (09:26):
undefined
Speaker:
between, you know, the seventy (09:27):
undefined
Speaker:
nine dollars cheapo one you buy (09:29):
undefined
Speaker:
on Amazon or the five or six or (09:32):
undefined
Speaker:
eight hundred or one thousand (09:35):
undefined
Speaker:
dollars precision when you get (09:36):
undefined
Speaker:
it's just unbelievable, you (09:38):
undefined
Speaker:
know? (09:40):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah, it's such a pleasure to
use. (09:40):
undefined
Speaker:
So yeah, I would recommend I've
got an idea that if, if any of (09:42):
undefined
Speaker:
our listeners or viewers are
down in the villages and you (09:49):
undefined
Speaker:
shoot regularly, especially on
this airgun range, drop me a (09:52):
undefined
Speaker:
line, let me know because I'm
down there quite a bit. (09:54):
undefined
Speaker:
Maybe we could do a podcast
episode, a video, write a story. (09:56):
undefined
Speaker:
I'm always open to ideas like
that. (10:00):
undefined
Speaker:
So that might be something
interesting. (10:02):
undefined
Speaker:
And it would, my gosh, I could (10:03):
undefined
Speaker:
probably take it off taxes (10:05):
undefined
Speaker:
because it would be a business (10:06):
undefined
Speaker:
expense, right? (10:08):
undefined
Speaker:
To go down to. (10:09):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah, we'll have to jump. (10:09):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, we'll have to jump online (10:10):
undefined
Speaker:
and see if they're if they have (10:12):
undefined
Speaker:
a website or if there's more (10:13):
undefined
Speaker:
information, because I'd love to (10:15):
undefined
Speaker:
see some pictures of it or (10:16):
undefined
Speaker:
something. (10:17):
undefined
Speaker:
So yeah, absolutely. (10:18):
undefined
Speaker:
So the next two dozen emails, I (10:19):
undefined
Speaker:
think are kind of all on the (10:22):
undefined
Speaker:
same topic. (10:24):
undefined
Speaker:
And that's the subject line of
this one is snubs. (10:25):
undefined
Speaker:
And this is from Jimmy. (10:28):
undefined
Speaker:
Enjoyed the podcast coverage on
snubs. (10:30):
undefined
Speaker:
I'm eighty eight years young, a
range safety officer shooting (10:32):
undefined
Speaker:
winter indoor pistol league and
go to the range weekly. (10:35):
undefined
Speaker:
Never owned a Snubby, but saw a
Ruger three hundred fifty seven (10:39):
undefined
Speaker:
LCR on sale and on a whim I
bought it, took it home, did a (10:42):
undefined
Speaker:
little lubing headed for the
range, shooting thirty eight (10:45):
undefined
Speaker:
special reloads wearing
fingerless padded gloves. (10:48):
undefined
Speaker:
I had a blast, fired about a
hundred rounds at steel and (10:50):
undefined
Speaker:
decided it's going to replace my
sig P nine thirty eight as my (10:53):
undefined
Speaker:
everyday carry gun. (10:56):
undefined
Speaker:
I just never felt comfortable
with carrying my sig nine locked (10:58):
undefined
Speaker:
and loaded in my pocket holster. (11:01):
undefined
Speaker:
Thanks for the coverage and that
was j j d. So we've talked about (11:03):
undefined
Speaker:
stubbies actually quite a bit
here of late. (11:07):
undefined
Speaker:
Like I said, that was episode. (11:09):
undefined
Speaker:
The most recent was three thirty
one small gun, big defence. (11:11):
undefined
Speaker:
But Roy, I know you're, you're (11:15):
undefined
Speaker:
the, you're like the king of the (11:17):
undefined
Speaker:
snubby world. (11:18):
undefined
Speaker:
And, uh, and we know it from the (11:19):
undefined
Speaker:
analytics of our episodes when (11:23):
undefined
Speaker:
we talk about Stubbies, people (11:25):
undefined
Speaker:
love them and people watch and (11:27):
undefined
Speaker:
send us lots of comments and (11:28):
undefined
Speaker:
emails. (11:30):
undefined
Speaker:
So, Roy, you love them. (11:30):
undefined
Speaker:
There's no doubt about it. (11:32):
undefined
Speaker:
I do too, but well, you know,
the, the show that you had (11:33):
undefined
Speaker:
Darrell Bulky on who really is
the king of the snub. (11:37):
undefined
Speaker:
But yeah, that's true, I. A day (11:40):
undefined
Speaker:
doesn't go by that I don't get (11:42):
undefined
Speaker:
four or five six comments with (11:43):
undefined
Speaker:
that video. (11:46):
undefined
Speaker:
I mean, it's just it's constant, (11:47):
undefined
Speaker:
you know, and, and it's (11:48):
undefined
Speaker:
interesting. (11:50):
undefined
Speaker:
Almost nobody ever says, well,
they're stupid. (11:50):
undefined
Speaker:
Why would anyone do that? (11:53):
undefined
Speaker:
You know, and the person who
says that is somebody who just (11:55):
undefined
Speaker:
doesn't know how to shoot them,
you know, because they'll say, (11:57):
undefined
Speaker:
why would you have one of those? (12:00):
undefined
Speaker:
They're inaccurate. (12:01):
undefined
Speaker:
You can't hit anything beyond
five yards and blah, blah, blah. (12:02):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, you're wrong, you know,
but I see a lot of it's more and (12:05):
undefined
Speaker:
more now younger people, like in
their late twenties and into (12:08):
undefined
Speaker:
their thirties who are saying,
you know, I've recently (12:12):
undefined
Speaker:
discovered snubnosed revolvers,
and I was at the range and there (12:15):
undefined
Speaker:
was an old guy there. (12:18):
undefined
Speaker:
He asked me if I'd like to shoot
it, I did. (12:20):
undefined
Speaker:
I really like it. (12:22):
undefined
Speaker:
I can see how it's safe to
carry. (12:23):
undefined
Speaker:
I like the reliability. (12:25):
undefined
Speaker:
I, you know, it's like I hear (12:27):
undefined
Speaker:
this time and time and time (12:28):
undefined
Speaker:
again and they're basically, you (12:29):
undefined
Speaker:
know, retiring their Glocks and, (12:32):
undefined
Speaker:
you know, Pocket autos and stuff (12:34):
undefined
Speaker:
and and buying snubnosed (12:37):
undefined
Speaker:
revolvers. (12:39):
undefined
Speaker:
So good. (12:40):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, people like them and we're
gonna keep talking about them. (12:41):
undefined
Speaker:
So the next one here is from
M.T. (12:44):
undefined
Speaker:
And its subject is Pocket
Pieces. (12:46):
undefined
Speaker:
Enjoy your views regarding
snubby and pocket pistols. (12:48):
undefined
Speaker:
I always pack a little North (12:51):
undefined
Speaker:
American arms, twenty two long (12:53):
undefined
Speaker:
rifle and sometimes an Earl an (12:55):
undefined
Speaker:
Earl. (12:57):
undefined
Speaker:
I'm not. (12:58):
undefined
Speaker:
Maybe that's a typo, I don't
know. (12:59):
undefined
Speaker:
You know what an Earl is, Roy. (13:01):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (13:03):
undefined
Speaker:
And I'm I'm my mind's blanking
on it. (13:04):
undefined
Speaker:
I think it's I think it's
another North American arms (13:05):
undefined
Speaker:
revolver, I think, but I we
don't know everything. (13:10):
undefined
Speaker:
Okay. (13:15):
undefined
Speaker:
Yes, exactly. (13:16):
undefined
Speaker:
As you two mentioned, the ease (13:17):
undefined
Speaker:
of carrying a small piece makes (13:19):
undefined
Speaker:
it simple as well as comfortable (13:20):
undefined
Speaker:
in comparison with a larger (13:22):
undefined
Speaker:
holstered piece. (13:23):
undefined
Speaker:
In Arizona, we're allowed to
pack concealed without a permit. (13:24):
undefined
Speaker:
Yes, which makes it simple to
forget it's on your person. (13:27):
undefined
Speaker:
One thing I've noticed it's (13:31):
undefined
Speaker:
quite important to periodically (13:32):
undefined
Speaker:
clean clean due to dust and grit (13:33):
undefined
Speaker:
accumulation as well as (13:36):
undefined
Speaker:
sweating. (13:37):
undefined
Speaker:
In my opinion. (13:38):
undefined
Speaker:
That's why the preference is a
stainless pistol. (13:38):
undefined
Speaker:
Can't argue with you there. (13:41):
undefined
Speaker:
I get my kick out of both of
your perspectives, which I (13:42):
undefined
Speaker:
cannot disagree over. (13:45):
undefined
Speaker:
Miss the print magazine Mark in
Arizona and Cool Town. (13:46):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, I won't say what it is, (13:51):
undefined
Speaker:
but Mark agree with you on all (13:52):
undefined
Speaker:
that. (13:53):
undefined
Speaker:
And I thought he made a good
point that you got to keep them (13:54):
undefined
Speaker:
clean because over the weekend,
last weekend was Memorial Day. (13:58):
undefined
Speaker:
So I did a whole bunch of yard
work. (14:01):
undefined
Speaker:
One day I did twelve hours
digging and all this stuff. (14:02):
undefined
Speaker:
My my pocket gun was filthy, so
I had to clean that. (14:05):
undefined
Speaker:
But yeah, just, uh, more
positive stuff on snubs. (14:09):
undefined
Speaker:
So, you know, I keep, I thought (14:14):
undefined
Speaker:
I had it sitting here, but I (14:16):
undefined
Speaker:
keep a can of that little spray (14:17):
undefined
Speaker:
air like you used to blow off (14:19):
undefined
Speaker:
your computer keyboard, the dust (14:21):
undefined
Speaker:
off stuff. (14:22):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (14:23):
undefined
Speaker:
Like I have those spread all
over the place, but about once a (14:24):
undefined
Speaker:
week I just take my little
pocket LCP max out, go, you (14:27):
undefined
Speaker:
know, and it is amazing. (14:32):
undefined
Speaker:
It's the old dust buffaloes that
come to you even just in a week. (14:33):
undefined
Speaker:
It's astounding. (14:37):
undefined
Speaker:
So I've got one of those big and
I know, I know you've got them, (14:39):
undefined
Speaker:
Roy the big they remember those
ear syringes or nose syringes. (14:42):
undefined
Speaker:
We call them a nose sucker used
with babies. (14:47):
undefined
Speaker:
Basically. (14:49):
undefined
Speaker:
It's the same thing, but it's a
lot bigger. (14:50):
undefined
Speaker:
It's a blower for camera gear. (14:51):
undefined
Speaker:
That's how you can dust off
lenses and stuff. (14:53):
undefined
Speaker:
I'm sure you've got at least
one. (14:55):
undefined
Speaker:
I got a bunch of them, so I use (14:57):
undefined
Speaker:
those keep my cameras clear, but (14:59):
undefined
Speaker:
I also use them to get the (15:00):
undefined
Speaker:
cheeseburger dust bunny (15:02):
undefined
Speaker:
tumbleweeds out of my my pocket (15:04):
undefined
Speaker:
guns. (15:07):
undefined
Speaker:
So Darrell and not Darrell, our (15:07):
undefined
Speaker:
friend Darrell Bulky but Darrell (15:10):
undefined
Speaker:
subject snubs. (15:12):
undefined
Speaker:
I think they're great, but few
people master the double action (15:13):
undefined
Speaker:
trigger pull the three, sixty
five, ten or twelve rounds in an (15:16):
undefined
Speaker:
equally compact package I think
is hard to argue against. (15:20):
undefined
Speaker:
I had fifteen hundred rounds (15:23):
undefined
Speaker:
through mine before cleaning (15:25):
undefined
Speaker:
without a failure, and at an ADC (15:26):
undefined
Speaker:
match we shot one third IPsec (15:28):
undefined
Speaker:
targets at eighty yards with (15:30):
undefined
Speaker:
them. (15:31):
undefined
Speaker:
It's better to have a gun than
not have a gun, but you should (15:32):
undefined
Speaker:
know how to use it. (15:34):
undefined
Speaker:
Can't argue with you, Daryl. (15:36):
undefined
Speaker:
And as we've often said, you
know the phrase I frequently use (15:37):
undefined
Speaker:
your mileage may vary. (15:41):
undefined
Speaker:
And if you're more comfortable (15:43):
undefined
Speaker:
carrying that three hundred (15:44):
undefined
Speaker:
sixty five and you can hit IPsec (15:45):
undefined
Speaker:
one third size targets at eighty (15:47):
undefined
Speaker:
yards with it, you're doing (15:49):
undefined
Speaker:
fine. (15:50):
undefined
Speaker:
So you just keep carrying it
and, you know, no throwing no (15:51):
undefined
Speaker:
shade from here. (15:54):
undefined
Speaker:
So your thoughts on that Roy. (15:55):
undefined
Speaker:
I agree. (15:58):
undefined
Speaker:
You know, we we posted a video I (15:59):
undefined
Speaker:
did on how to shoot a small (16:01):
undefined
Speaker:
frame revolver, do a search on (16:04):
undefined
Speaker:
it on our channel at FMG (16:06):
undefined
Speaker:
publications. (16:08):
undefined
Speaker:
And I'm amazed at the number of (16:09):
undefined
Speaker:
people who they watch it and (16:10):
undefined
Speaker:
then they comment later on and (16:13):
undefined
Speaker:
they say, Holy cow, I had no (16:14):
undefined
Speaker:
idea. (16:16):
undefined
Speaker:
I just did what you said, you
know, and they they learned to (16:17):
undefined
Speaker:
stage the trigger, learned to
press the trigger. (16:20):
undefined
Speaker:
And suddenly their groups went (16:22):
undefined
Speaker:
from twenty inches at five yards (16:24):
undefined
Speaker:
to teacup size at ten yards, you (16:26):
undefined
Speaker:
know. (16:29):
undefined
Speaker:
And so yeah, they can do it. (16:29):
undefined
Speaker:
And, and I will say I've got a
three sixty five and I carry it. (16:31):
undefined
Speaker:
It's got the TV on top and I (16:35):
undefined
Speaker:
generally carry my my pocket (16:37):
undefined
Speaker:
snubby. (16:39):
undefined
Speaker:
But I was out and about quite a
bit over the last week. (16:39):
undefined
Speaker:
And in those situations I prefer
to have that red dot optic. (16:42):
undefined
Speaker:
I realize, you know, there's
pros and cons, but again, I (16:45):
undefined
Speaker:
think the, the point that a lot
of some people miss in what we (16:49):
undefined
Speaker:
discuss is here's how we do it,
here's our opinions of it. (16:53):
undefined
Speaker:
But maybe unlike some other
commentators, we're not going to (16:56):
undefined
Speaker:
tell you you're an idiot as long
as you're being safe. (16:59):
undefined
Speaker:
If you know, like you can hit
with that. (17:01):
undefined
Speaker:
Three sixty five and that's what
you want to carry, I think you (17:03):
undefined
Speaker:
should and more power to you. (17:06):
undefined
Speaker:
So there we go. (17:08):
undefined
Speaker:
You before we go on. (17:11):
undefined
Speaker:
Wait, before we go on. (17:12):
undefined
Speaker:
You brought up an interesting
point. (17:14):
undefined
Speaker:
I know you and I are going to go (17:16):
undefined
Speaker:
do a show about the red dot (17:17):
undefined
Speaker:
versus not probably next, you (17:18):
undefined
Speaker:
know, but I want, God forbid, (17:20):
undefined
Speaker:
this. (17:24):
undefined
Speaker:
And I'm not encouraging anyone (17:24):
undefined
Speaker:
to do this, but I have not seen (17:26):
undefined
Speaker:
a red dot on a small frame (17:29):
undefined
Speaker:
revolver yet. (17:31):
undefined
Speaker:
I've seen them on some, but I
can't remember who it was. (17:32):
undefined
Speaker:
They did the little Beretta, the (17:35):
undefined
Speaker:
little tiny three hundred (17:37):
undefined
Speaker:
seconds, you know, their little (17:39):
undefined
Speaker:
pocket pistols? (17:40):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (17:41):
undefined
Speaker:
Langdon tactical, I think. (17:41):
undefined
Speaker:
I think they put one, but yeah. (17:44):
undefined
Speaker:
A comp threaded for a
suppressor. (17:46):
undefined
Speaker:
It's got a little red dot sight
on it, and I. But it reminded me (17:49):
undefined
Speaker:
of that silly video I just did
where I took a Davis Derringer (17:53):
undefined
Speaker:
and I put a red dot sight on the
top and a laser underneath it. (17:56):
undefined
Speaker:
It's like, that's just
ridiculous, right? (17:59):
undefined
Speaker:
You know, and so I saw that and
I thought, well, you've just (18:01):
undefined
Speaker:
destroyed everything that's
functional about this little (18:04):
undefined
Speaker:
gun, you know? (18:07):
undefined
Speaker:
So but now I feel compelled to (18:08):
undefined
Speaker:
find some old rusty, I don't (18:10):
undefined
Speaker:
know, ancient Taurus Snubby or (18:12):
undefined
Speaker:
something, and mill it and put a (18:14):
undefined
Speaker:
red dot sight on it just to (18:16):
undefined
Speaker:
personally affront a lot of (18:18):
undefined
Speaker:
people. (18:20):
undefined
Speaker:
And I can see that happening. (18:21):
undefined
Speaker:
And then we're shooting and (18:22):
undefined
Speaker:
you're like, hey, this is (18:23):
undefined
Speaker:
actually something. (18:24):
undefined
Speaker:
So yeah, I won't go into what I (18:25):
undefined
Speaker:
think could be something about (18:27):
undefined
Speaker:
it. (18:29):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah, yeah. (18:29):
undefined
Speaker:
We'll see. (18:30):
undefined
Speaker:
Taking a turn here, we're going (18:31):
undefined
Speaker:
to go to staging guns around the (18:32):
undefined
Speaker:
house. (18:34):
undefined
Speaker:
And that was from episode three
thirty two which was hiding guns (18:34):
undefined
Speaker:
around your house. (18:37):
undefined
Speaker:
The concept has full merit
unless one resides in California (18:38):
undefined
Speaker:
with a K, where the California
legislature passed a law in (18:42):
undefined
Speaker:
twenty twenty five stating all
firearms shall be stored in a (18:46):
undefined
Speaker:
DOJ approved safe. (18:49):
undefined
Speaker:
And I kind of remember that I
don't live in California and (18:51):
undefined
Speaker:
frankly don't care to know too
much about their laws. (18:54):
undefined
Speaker:
But I do kind of remember
hearing about that. (18:57):
undefined
Speaker:
So old, old del here says fine
and dandy, but I live in a rural (18:59):
undefined
Speaker:
area in California. (19:04):
undefined
Speaker:
Response time is often greater (19:06):
undefined
Speaker:
than five to ten minutes, which (19:07):
undefined
Speaker:
I will say that's actually (19:09):
undefined
Speaker:
pretty good. (19:10):
undefined
Speaker:
I know folks where it's measured (19:12):
undefined
Speaker:
in half hours or hours in some (19:14):
undefined
Speaker:
places, but he says, I'll take (19:16):
undefined
Speaker:
my chances with California law (19:18):
undefined
Speaker:
after I deal with the dangers at (19:20):
undefined
Speaker:
hand. (19:21):
undefined
Speaker:
And Adele can't disagree with
you at all. (19:22):
undefined
Speaker:
So that's interesting. (19:26):
undefined
Speaker:
Did you ever run into that? (19:28):
undefined
Speaker:
I mean, that law was from twenty
twenty five, but I know (19:29):
undefined
Speaker:
California's had some just
cringe worthy firearms laws. (19:31):
undefined
Speaker:
Was storage really a thing when
you were still there? (19:35):
undefined
Speaker:
No, I got out in two thousand
and eight, as I recall. (19:38):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, yeah, we fled. (19:43):
undefined
Speaker:
We left, you know, tire burning
skid marks as we left San Diego. (19:44):
undefined
Speaker:
Susie retired in September two
thousand and eight. (19:50):
undefined
Speaker:
We were moved in here in October
of two thousand and eight. (19:53):
undefined
Speaker:
Wow. (19:56):
undefined
Speaker:
This was like two weeks later. (19:57):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah, I don't recall really. (19:59):
undefined
Speaker:
I don't, I mean, I, I can't, I
really can't recall if they said (20:01):
undefined
Speaker:
that if you had a gun at home,
it had to be secured. (20:06):
undefined
Speaker:
I really I can't recall if
somebody can remind us please (20:08):
undefined
Speaker:
put a comment. (20:11):
undefined
Speaker:
So and honestly, do you think (20:12):
undefined
Speaker:
that's a truly a gun safety (20:14):
undefined
Speaker:
measure or it's just one more (20:16):
undefined
Speaker:
layer of making it harder and (20:18):
undefined
Speaker:
harder and harder to own a (20:19):
undefined
Speaker:
firearm because they didn't say (20:21):
undefined
Speaker:
a trigger lock or anything like (20:22):
undefined
Speaker:
that. (20:23):
undefined
Speaker:
It's got to be a DOJ approved (20:24):
undefined
Speaker:
safe, and I've never seen the (20:25):
undefined
Speaker:
list of what is a dog DOJ (20:26):
undefined
Speaker:
Department of Justice approved (20:30):
undefined
Speaker:
safe, but I'm guessing they're (20:32):
undefined
Speaker:
not the lesser expensive models, (20:33):
undefined
Speaker:
right. (20:36):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, you know, and it's like, (20:37):
undefined
Speaker:
hello, we're from the (20:38):
undefined
Speaker:
government. (20:39):
undefined
Speaker:
We're here to help. (20:39):
undefined
Speaker:
Right. (20:41):
undefined
Speaker:
We want to inspect your safe. (20:41):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, there's no doubt in my
mind that a. Or maybe they're (20:43):
undefined
Speaker:
talking about to prevent theft. (20:47):
undefined
Speaker:
I suppose, too, because if you (20:48):
undefined
Speaker:
put a padlock through the top (20:49):
undefined
Speaker:
strap of a revolver, well, then (20:51):
undefined
Speaker:
no one's going to use that gun (20:54):
undefined
Speaker:
to do anything with unless they (20:55):
undefined
Speaker:
cut the. (20:57):
undefined
Speaker:
You know. (20:57):
undefined
Speaker:
And so if you just need to have
your gun safe, that's a real (20:58):
undefined
Speaker:
easy way to do it. (21:00):
undefined
Speaker:
But, you know, I'm it'd be a
shame, though, because if you (21:01):
undefined
Speaker:
get somebody who's on a bit of a
budget, like I was at, oh, I (21:04):
undefined
Speaker:
want to say it was tractor
supply or, or someplace like (21:07):
undefined
Speaker:
that the other day. (21:10):
undefined
Speaker:
And they have these, I'd call it (21:11):
undefined
Speaker:
like a real heavy duty steel (21:13):
undefined
Speaker:
cabinet, right? (21:15):
undefined
Speaker:
Right. (21:16):
undefined
Speaker:
That are are gun safes, right? (21:17):
undefined
Speaker:
So they're not fireproof, you
know, or anything like that. (21:19):
undefined
Speaker:
But, you know, they've got good
locks on them, you know, (21:24):
undefined
Speaker:
multiple lock systems. (21:27):
undefined
Speaker:
You bolt them to the wall. (21:28):
undefined
Speaker:
And I mean, you, you and I, in
our history of being a (21:29):
undefined
Speaker:
policeman, I've never would have
seen a bad guy be able to break (21:33):
undefined
Speaker:
into one of those. (21:38):
undefined
Speaker:
I mean, exactly, you know. (21:39):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (21:40):
undefined
Speaker:
If they had all weekend and the
owner's cutting torch that he (21:41):
undefined
Speaker:
found in the garage, well, yeah,
you know, he could probably get (21:45):
undefined
Speaker:
in, but but if that if they're
not DOJ approved, then that (21:48):
undefined
Speaker:
means people who would be able
to afford something like that (21:51):
undefined
Speaker:
wouldn't be able to afford it. (21:54):
undefined
Speaker:
So we both know what happens
then they don't buy anything. (21:56):
undefined
Speaker:
Yep. (22:00):
undefined
Speaker:
And I, I was sitting here while (22:00):
undefined
Speaker:
you were talking and I was (22:02):
undefined
Speaker:
thinking, I'm not going to go (22:03):
undefined
Speaker:
off on my soapbox and (22:04):
undefined
Speaker:
editorialize, editorialize. (22:05):
undefined
Speaker:
But let me just say this. (22:08):
undefined
Speaker:
The, let's say the, the current
Democrat Party, which I'm not (22:11):
undefined
Speaker:
turning this into a political
argument, but I hope there's (22:16):
undefined
Speaker:
nobody that would argue with me
that the Democratic Party, (22:18):
undefined
Speaker:
Democrat Party is pro firearms
nationally, and in most cases (22:21):
undefined
Speaker:
they are not. (22:26):
undefined
Speaker:
They are against firearms. (22:27):
undefined
Speaker:
It makes them scared, but yet
they're the ones that push (22:28):
undefined
Speaker:
legislation that
disproportionately (22:32):
undefined
Speaker:
disenfranchises folks that don't
have the economic means. (22:35):
undefined
Speaker:
If I have to put my gun in a (22:39):
undefined
Speaker:
safe, which I do, I can afford (22:41):
undefined
Speaker:
it. (22:42):
undefined
Speaker:
But there's a lot of folks like (22:43):
undefined
Speaker:
you said, Roy, typically folks (22:44):
undefined
Speaker:
that aren't white folks that (22:46):
undefined
Speaker:
that particular party often (22:48):
undefined
Speaker:
courts, but they make sure that (22:50):
undefined
Speaker:
they're disarmed. (22:52):
undefined
Speaker:
So I want you to think about (22:52):
undefined
Speaker:
that when they're saying it's (22:54):
undefined
Speaker:
safety, is it safety, or is it (22:55):
undefined
Speaker:
trying to disenfranchise the (22:57):
undefined
Speaker:
very people that they otherwise (22:59):
undefined
Speaker:
are? (23:00):
undefined
Speaker:
Like, you know, everybody's
keeping you down, but we're (23:01):
undefined
Speaker:
we've got your back. (23:04):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, no, you don't because you
don't want them to have the (23:05):
undefined
Speaker:
ability to defend themselves. (23:07):
undefined
Speaker:
So there you go. (23:09):
undefined
Speaker:
I jumped up on my soapbox and
I'm sure I'll get some hate mail (23:11):
undefined
Speaker:
over that, but just give me some
empirical data why I'm wrong so (23:14):
undefined
Speaker:
well, and you know, if people
will will often say that because (23:19):
undefined
Speaker:
if we write favorably about a
gun, a heritage revolver, Ruger (23:23):
undefined
Speaker:
Wrangler, a high point, you
know, the more affordable guns, (23:27):
undefined
Speaker:
entry level Taurus guns like
that, a lot of the there are (23:31):
undefined
Speaker:
these people with attitude and
they say, well, you know, that's (23:34):
undefined
Speaker:
a waste of time. (23:37):
undefined
Speaker:
I can't believe you actually
wasted the space, you know, to (23:38):
undefined
Speaker:
talk about that or to make a
video or something like that. (23:42):
undefined
Speaker:
And we I know I speak for Brent,
we have always endorsed the (23:45):
undefined
Speaker:
ability for people of lesser
means to be able to find (23:50):
undefined
Speaker:
affordable self-defense guns and
ways to store them safely if (23:54):
undefined
Speaker:
they can, and affordable
ammunition, you know? (23:58):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (24:01):
undefined
Speaker:
And so I don't want to hear it, (24:02):
undefined
Speaker:
you know, is a high point, the (24:04):
undefined
Speaker:
same as a two thousand dollars (24:06):
undefined
Speaker:
custom. (24:07):
undefined
Speaker:
Nineteen eleven. (24:08):
undefined
Speaker:
No, but it does give someone
protection who can't afford it (24:09):
undefined
Speaker:
otherwise, you know. (24:12):
undefined
Speaker:
And I tell you what, I learned (24:13):
undefined
Speaker:
something the other day, and it (24:15):
undefined
Speaker:
was about, uh, private indoor (24:16):
undefined
Speaker:
ranges and, and it struck me and (24:18):
undefined
Speaker:
I hadn't before thought about (24:21):
undefined
Speaker:
this, is that the vast majority (24:23):
undefined
Speaker:
of them do not allow any kind of (24:25):
undefined
Speaker:
personal reloads. (24:27):
undefined
Speaker:
Right? (24:29):
undefined
Speaker:
So, so you, you have to have
factory ammunition. (24:29):
undefined
Speaker:
And some of them even say you (24:33):
undefined
Speaker:
have to buy the ammunition from (24:35):
undefined
Speaker:
them. (24:37):
undefined
Speaker:
Right? (24:38):
undefined
Speaker:
So yeah. (24:39):
undefined
Speaker:
Okay. (24:39):
undefined
Speaker:
That's they say for safety,
right. (24:40):
undefined
Speaker:
But yeah, okay. (24:42):
undefined
Speaker:
It's also probably not bad for
business, but it dawned on me. (24:43):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah, but it dawned on me, if
you're somebody on a fixed (24:47):
undefined
Speaker:
income, if you're Social
Security or you're a younger (24:51):
undefined
Speaker:
person trying to raise a family
and you don't have a lot of (24:54):
undefined
Speaker:
money, but you do have that one
affordable gun that you have. (24:57):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, if you go to an indoor (25:01):
undefined
Speaker:
range, you're going to spend (25:02):
undefined
Speaker:
fifty dollars or for a box of (25:04):
undefined
Speaker:
thirty eight special to shoot (25:06):
undefined
Speaker:
your gun. (25:07):
undefined
Speaker:
You know, I have a friend who
lives in California. (25:09):
undefined
Speaker:
He just sent me a copy of an
invoice he had. (25:11):
undefined
Speaker:
He went to his indoor range. (25:13):
undefined
Speaker:
He bought two boxes of CCI
twenty two long rifle, just, you (25:16):
undefined
Speaker:
know, blah, blah. (25:22):
undefined
Speaker:
Nothing. (25:23):
undefined
Speaker:
Right. (25:23):
undefined
Speaker:
And the bill was almost fifty
dollars with with the taxes that (25:24):
undefined
Speaker:
they charged now. (25:29):
undefined
Speaker:
Right. (25:31):
undefined
Speaker:
And, and the background check
and the, you know, and I just (25:31):
undefined
Speaker:
went, you know what, that is
some kind of discrimination. (25:35):
undefined
Speaker:
And I, you know, I don't it's
like, I understand why the (25:38):
undefined
Speaker:
Rangers do it. (25:42):
undefined
Speaker:
They don't want some nitwit to (25:43):
undefined
Speaker:
come in with triple loaded, you (25:44):
undefined
Speaker:
know, something? (25:46):
undefined
Speaker:
Homemade ammunition. (25:48):
undefined
Speaker:
But gosh, there's got to be some
options. (25:49):
undefined
Speaker:
You know, when I used to go to
indoor ranges thirty years ago, (25:52):
undefined
Speaker:
they almost always invariably
had range reloads. (25:55):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (25:59):
undefined
Speaker:
You know. (25:59):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (25:59):
undefined
Speaker:
In a plastic bag that. (26:00):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (26:01):
undefined
Speaker:
You know, in a Ziploc baggie you
could buy. (26:02):
undefined
Speaker:
I mean, you could buy twenty
five rounds, you know, or fifty (26:04):
undefined
Speaker:
rounds or whatever. (26:08):
undefined
Speaker:
It was affordable. (26:09):
undefined
Speaker:
You turn the brass back in. (26:10):
undefined
Speaker:
I don't know why they don't do (26:11):
undefined
Speaker:
that or or most of them don't do (26:12):
undefined
Speaker:
that. (26:14):
undefined
Speaker:
So all right. (26:15):
undefined
Speaker:
I was off on a rant to, okay,
well, there we go. (26:16):
undefined
Speaker:
We're one to one rant. (26:19):
undefined
Speaker:
So getting back into the, the (26:20):
undefined
Speaker:
mail here, uh, this one's snubby (26:22):
undefined
Speaker:
pocket guns. (26:24):
undefined
Speaker:
Good afternoon. (26:25):
undefined
Speaker:
Just listen to your podcast on
Snubby. (26:26):
undefined
Speaker:
Yes, I'm a big fan of pocket
guns. (26:28):
undefined
Speaker:
Just tried my Smith and Wesson
nine forty three last Monday. (26:30):
undefined
Speaker:
Had something odd happen. (26:33):
undefined
Speaker:
First two rounds didn't fire
Remington nine millimeter old (26:35):
undefined
Speaker:
ammo, I think. (26:38):
undefined
Speaker:
But then I had a third round
from a new box of mag tech (26:39):
undefined
Speaker:
failed to go boom. (26:42):
undefined
Speaker:
I think I fired about one
hundred and fifty rounds. (26:44):
undefined
Speaker:
All else ran fine. (26:46):
undefined
Speaker:
I also bought brought my CSX to
shoot, decided this is my new (26:47):
undefined
Speaker:
carry combination nine forty in
the pocket, CSX and a belly band (26:51):
undefined
Speaker:
as in a belly band as a shoulder
rig tucked under my arm. (26:55):
undefined
Speaker:
Okay that's interesting. (26:59):
undefined
Speaker:
I started carrying it home as
well. (27:01):
undefined
Speaker:
A jframe with thirty eight with (27:03):
undefined
Speaker:
Wadcutters belly band under a t (27:04):
undefined
Speaker:
shirt. (27:06):
undefined
Speaker:
Wife and I were working to get
our planting beds. (27:07):
undefined
Speaker:
Like the idea of a get off me
gun. (27:09):
undefined
Speaker:
As I've said before. (27:11):
undefined
Speaker:
Neighbors aren't the problem. (27:12):
undefined
Speaker:
It's the critters. (27:13):
undefined
Speaker:
And that's from Gus and doesn't
say where he's from. (27:14):
undefined
Speaker:
But anyway, interesting things
there that oh, the the question (27:17):
undefined
Speaker:
he asked about the first two
rounds didn't fire. (27:21):
undefined
Speaker:
And then he had a third round (27:23):
undefined
Speaker:
from a new box from a different (27:25):
undefined
Speaker:
manufacturer that that to me, (27:26):
undefined
Speaker:
without knowing any more (27:28):
undefined
Speaker:
details, that's got to be a (27:29):
undefined
Speaker:
firearms issue, wouldn't you (27:30):
undefined
Speaker:
say, Roy? (27:32):
undefined
Speaker:
Maybe a week spring in there or
something. (27:32):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (27:35):
undefined
Speaker:
And my mind is blank as the nine
forty, the small frame Smith and (27:35):
undefined
Speaker:
Wesson nine millimetres
revolver, I believe. (27:39):
undefined
Speaker:
So, yes. (27:43):
undefined
Speaker:
It seemed like it is. (27:44):
undefined
Speaker:
And if if it is there, there is (27:45):
undefined
Speaker:
kind of an issue with those (27:48):
undefined
Speaker:
guns. (27:50):
undefined
Speaker:
Any nine millimeter double (27:50):
undefined
Speaker:
action revolver like that is (27:52):
undefined
Speaker:
that they're really sensitive to (27:54):
undefined
Speaker:
headspace. (27:56):
undefined
Speaker:
And I can't recall off the top (27:57):
undefined
Speaker:
of my head if that gun uses moon (27:59):
undefined
Speaker:
clips. (28:01):
undefined
Speaker:
So if it uses moon clips and you
attempted to shoot it just by (28:02):
undefined
Speaker:
single loading the chambers,
which a lot of people think, (28:07):
undefined
Speaker:
well, that should work. (28:10):
undefined
Speaker:
Usually it will be erratic just (28:11):
undefined
Speaker:
because there is a headspace (28:13):
undefined
Speaker:
issue then. (28:14):
undefined
Speaker:
So I wish I could remember off (28:15):
undefined
Speaker:
the top of my head, but if that (28:16):
undefined
Speaker:
gun has moon clips, you really (28:17):
undefined
Speaker:
have to shoot it with moon (28:19):
undefined
Speaker:
clips. (28:20):
undefined
Speaker:
And if it's the one that does (28:20):
undefined
Speaker:
extraction, because they did (28:22):
undefined
Speaker:
make one that had a, it was self (28:23):
undefined
Speaker:
extracting. (28:25):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah, they're still really
sensitive to cartridge headspace (28:26):
undefined
Speaker:
and nine millimeter. (28:29):
undefined
Speaker:
Even semi-auto cartridges like (28:31):
undefined
Speaker:
that do have different thickness (28:33):
undefined
Speaker:
case heads. (28:36):
undefined
Speaker:
So yeah, yeah. (28:37):
undefined
Speaker:
And if overall length is
different, then they may chamber (28:38):
undefined
Speaker:
just a little bit, two
thousandth more, right. (28:41):
undefined
Speaker:
So you're the right thing to do (28:43):
undefined
Speaker:
is you just go shoot the ammo (28:45):
undefined
Speaker:
that you know, it runs with, you (28:47):
undefined
Speaker:
know, so and I'll do a little (28:49):
undefined
Speaker:
more research. (28:51):
undefined
Speaker:
Maybe we could revisit that. (28:51):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (28:53):
undefined
Speaker:
And after you said that, I kind
of remember that somewhere in (28:54):
undefined
Speaker:
the periphery over the years. (28:57):
undefined
Speaker:
So we'll we'll take it under
advisement. (28:59):
undefined
Speaker:
So, uh, more on snubs from Doug. (29:01):
undefined
Speaker:
I just finished watching your
podcast on snubs. (29:04):
undefined
Speaker:
You asked for comments, so
here's mine. (29:06):
undefined
Speaker:
I purchased a Smith and Wesson
Ultimate Carry in thirty two hr (29:08):
undefined
Speaker:
Magnum a couple years ago. (29:11):
undefined
Speaker:
Right after it became available,
I chose the blue with the (29:13):
undefined
Speaker:
rosewood grips, and it's a
beauty, I imagine. (29:15):
undefined
Speaker:
Not only does it look sexy, it
shoots well too. (29:19):
undefined
Speaker:
Like Brent suggested, I bought a (29:21):
undefined
Speaker:
lot of ammo and devoted a good (29:23):
undefined
Speaker:
deal of time learning how to (29:25):
undefined
Speaker:
shoot it. (29:26):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, I'm quite confident with
it, more than I can say with the (29:26):
undefined
Speaker:
Glock forty three X that I had
purchased a few years before. (29:29):
undefined
Speaker:
I had issues with jamming,
probably due to my arthritis (29:31):
undefined
Speaker:
goes on, but it says. (29:34):
undefined
Speaker:
As a side note, I previously
owned a North American Arms mini (29:35):
undefined
Speaker:
revolver, but it was. (29:39):
undefined
Speaker:
It was way too hard for me to (29:40):
undefined
Speaker:
manipulate and reload with my (29:42):
undefined
Speaker:
arthritis, so I sold that one (29:43):
undefined
Speaker:
off. (29:45):
undefined
Speaker:
Same goes for the Glock forty
three. (29:45):
undefined
Speaker:
So totally agree with you guys. (29:47):
undefined
Speaker:
Love snubs. (29:49):
undefined
Speaker:
And that's that's from Doug in
Washington. (29:50):
undefined
Speaker:
I was just going to bring that
up because I love my North (29:53):
undefined
Speaker:
American arms mini revolvers. (29:55):
undefined
Speaker:
And I often carried it as a back
up to the primary piece or (29:57):
undefined
Speaker:
sometimes just a primary gun if
the situation warrants. (30:00):
undefined
Speaker:
But I've got to say, Roy, over
the past six months, I've (30:03):
undefined
Speaker:
started to get arthritis in both
thumbs and my left is worse. (30:07):
undefined
Speaker:
My support hand is worse. (30:11):
undefined
Speaker:
But that stuff I heard you
talking about it and the some of (30:12):
undefined
Speaker:
our writers at guns magazine. (30:17):
undefined
Speaker:
I know John Taffin had problems
with that in his later years, (30:18):
undefined
Speaker:
but I'm beginning to understand. (30:22):
undefined
Speaker:
And it just occurred to me the (30:24):
undefined
Speaker:
other day, it's like, wow, what (30:25):
undefined
Speaker:
happens when it gets to the (30:26):
undefined
Speaker:
point I'm having trouble because (30:27):
undefined
Speaker:
I have trouble manipulating (30:28):
undefined
Speaker:
things now. (30:29):
undefined
Speaker:
So I'm right there now and I
understand it, but I hate to (30:30):
undefined
Speaker:
give up my North American arms,
but the something about them (30:33):
undefined
Speaker:
just really intrigues me. (30:37):
undefined
Speaker:
And again, the twenty two
Magnum, even the twenty two with (30:38):
undefined
Speaker:
some of those federal deep
penetrating loads, I don't know (30:42):
undefined
Speaker:
too many gun writers that'll
stand up and take it. (30:45):
undefined
Speaker:
So there. (30:47):
undefined
Speaker:
No, you're right. (30:48):
undefined
Speaker:
You keep in mind, too, those
North American arms, they. (30:49):
undefined
Speaker:
You can get a wide range of
different shaped grips for them. (30:52):
undefined
Speaker:
So if you want to get rid of
those little, little, teeny tiny (30:55):
undefined
Speaker:
grips that come on it. (30:58):
undefined
Speaker:
And then don't forget, they also (31:00):
undefined
Speaker:
make the ones that have a more (31:01):
undefined
Speaker:
full size grip and the gun folds (31:03):
undefined
Speaker:
into it. (31:05):
undefined
Speaker:
They actually just sent me one
not too long ago when I first (31:06):
undefined
Speaker:
got it, I thought, I don't know,
you know, I mean, it's got a (31:08):
undefined
Speaker:
pocket clip on it, right. (31:11):
undefined
Speaker:
And then but once I got it, it (31:13):
undefined
Speaker:
was like, you pull it out and it (31:15):
undefined
Speaker:
goes click. (31:16):
undefined
Speaker:
And now suddenly you have a (31:17):
undefined
Speaker:
basically a full size grip and (31:19):
undefined
Speaker:
it's much easier to manipulate (31:21):
undefined
Speaker:
the gun. (31:23):
undefined
Speaker:
I don't know that I would carry
it as my primary gun, but if you (31:24):
undefined
Speaker:
just want, like you say, a
backup gun, or maybe I'm out (31:27):
undefined
Speaker:
here on the tractor and you just
dig it out of your pocket, open (31:29):
undefined
Speaker:
it up, shoot the snake, do
whatever you're doing. (31:32):
undefined
Speaker:
That makes sense. (31:34):
undefined
Speaker:
So yep. (31:34):
undefined
Speaker:
Yep, exactly. (31:35):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, Roy, we had one talking
about Where's Roy and Joplin? (31:37):
undefined
Speaker:
Here's one from Greg. (31:40):
undefined
Speaker:
It a nice long letter. (31:42):
undefined
Speaker:
And he talks about when he ran (31:43):
undefined
Speaker:
afoul of a Chicago biker gang (31:45):
undefined
Speaker:
because they were trying to help (31:47):
undefined
Speaker:
a, a lady get out of that (31:49):
undefined
Speaker:
circle. (31:51):
undefined
Speaker:
And the police told him get a
gun. (31:51):
undefined
Speaker:
So that was probably a good
idea. (31:53):
undefined
Speaker:
But anyway, one quick question, (31:55):
undefined
Speaker:
Brent, on this podcast, I (31:56):
undefined
Speaker:
figured out you must live in (31:58):
undefined
Speaker:
Indiana. (31:59):
undefined
Speaker:
Yes I do. (32:00):
undefined
Speaker:
And I noticed you have Indiana
shaped plaques on the wall (32:01):
undefined
Speaker:
behind you than you mentioned
wards in Indiana. (32:04):
undefined
Speaker:
I have similar shaped plaques
that I was awarded when I was (32:06):
undefined
Speaker:
chosen for the fight of the year
way back in the nineties. (32:09):
undefined
Speaker:
And see, I'm old. (32:11):
undefined
Speaker:
My question, if you are able and
comfortable answering is where (32:12):
undefined
Speaker:
are you located? (32:16):
undefined
Speaker:
Indiana. (32:17):
undefined
Speaker:
I'm in Goshen in north central
Indiana. (32:18):
undefined
Speaker:
Anyway, that's Doctor Greg. (32:19):
undefined
Speaker:
I'm in the Indianapolis area. (32:21):
undefined
Speaker:
So you're up in the north part? (32:22):
undefined
Speaker:
Goshen, Indiana. (32:24):
undefined
Speaker:
That's in the heart of Amish
country. (32:26):
undefined
Speaker:
And I believe it's Goshen where (32:28):
undefined
Speaker:
they have an actual hitching (32:30):
undefined
Speaker:
post for all the buggies outside (32:32):
undefined
Speaker:
the Walmart. (32:34):
undefined
Speaker:
So it's it's it's quite a thing. (32:34):
undefined
Speaker:
I've been to Goshen a number of (32:37):
undefined
Speaker:
times, but yeah, I'm here in (32:38):
undefined
Speaker:
central Indiana. (32:39):
undefined
Speaker:
We just got done with the Indy (32:40):
undefined
Speaker:
five hundred, which turned (32:43):
undefined
Speaker:
central Indiana into a giant (32:45):
undefined
Speaker:
party. (32:46):
undefined
Speaker:
And so yeah, so anyway, if
you're in the Indianapolis area (32:47):
undefined
Speaker:
and you happen to run into a guy
with a weird mustache and (32:50):
undefined
Speaker:
talking about guns, that's
probably going to be me. (32:53):
undefined
Speaker:
So anyway, any thoughts Roy? (32:56):
undefined
Speaker:
Not much really to comment on, I
guess, other than the hitching (32:59):
undefined
Speaker:
post outside the Walmart. (33:02):
undefined
Speaker:
But but you know, I met a lot of
people over the years. (33:03):
undefined
Speaker:
I mean, I, I'd be in line at a
Walmart or something. (33:07):
undefined
Speaker:
I'll feel. (33:10):
undefined
Speaker:
Tap tap, tap behind me and I'll
turn around. (33:10):
undefined
Speaker:
A guy will say, excuse me, sir,
are you Roy Huntington from (33:12):
undefined
Speaker:
American Handgunner magazine or
something like that? (33:15):
undefined
Speaker:
And so I've met dozens and
dozens of people over the years, (33:17):
undefined
Speaker:
and everybody has been
unfailingly nice and polite. (33:20):
undefined
Speaker:
And, you know, it's like if you
walk the floor of the NRA show, (33:25):
undefined
Speaker:
which is a consumer show, right? (33:29):
undefined
Speaker:
So I'm always there's people
stop all the time. (33:30):
undefined
Speaker:
They say, hey, Roy, how are you,
boy, I read your stuff. (33:34):
undefined
Speaker:
I've been reading since I was
twelve years old. (33:36):
undefined
Speaker:
It's like, yeah, okay, thanks. (33:38):
undefined
Speaker:
Right. (33:40):
undefined
Speaker:
And but they say, you know, (33:40):
undefined
Speaker:
okay, can I have a picture with (33:41):
undefined
Speaker:
you in my family and stuff like (33:42):
undefined
Speaker:
that? (33:44):
undefined
Speaker:
And it's always heartwarming. (33:44):
undefined
Speaker:
I just love that. (33:45):
undefined
Speaker:
And it, it reaffirms that there (33:46):
undefined
Speaker:
are people out there who take (33:48):
undefined
Speaker:
the time to listen to us and (33:50):
undefined
Speaker:
trust us. (33:51):
undefined
Speaker:
And so, so we have to we have to
honor that. (33:52):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (33:55):
undefined
undefined
Speaker:
I gotta say, it's it's weird for (33:56):
undefined
Speaker:
me because I honestly, whether (33:58):
undefined
Speaker:
you believe it or not, and I (34:00):
undefined
Speaker:
think Roy's. (34:01):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, I know Roy's exact same
way. (34:02):
undefined
Speaker:
We're not doing this for the
fame and notoriety. (34:04):
undefined
Speaker:
We just do it because we enjoy
doing it. (34:07):
undefined
Speaker:
And it allows us to make money
doing it. (34:09):
undefined
Speaker:
And so it's just fun, but it is
always intriguing. (34:11):
undefined
Speaker:
And it's a little awkward for me (34:15):
undefined
Speaker:
when, hey, I you're the guy on (34:17):
undefined
Speaker:
the podcast. (34:18):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah, I really enjoy that. (34:19):
undefined
Speaker:
That's very flattering. (34:20):
undefined
Speaker:
It's very heartwarming. (34:21):
undefined
Speaker:
But I'm kind of like, oh,
shucks, gee, gee whiz. (34:23):
undefined
Speaker:
But one thing I was going to
say, Roy, and I'm sure Joe Rogan (34:25):
undefined
Speaker:
has this problem a lot. (34:29):
undefined
Speaker:
If if you see one of us out and (34:30):
undefined
Speaker:
you want to talk to us, just do (34:32):
undefined
Speaker:
it, because there's nothing (34:33):
undefined
Speaker:
weirder than somebody looking at (34:35):
undefined
Speaker:
you and looking down, looking at (34:37):
undefined
Speaker:
you. (34:39):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (34:39):
undefined
Speaker:
Because I know we both had that. (34:40):
undefined
Speaker:
It's like, what's going on here? (34:41):
undefined
Speaker:
Because as we've said, being
former cops and all that kind of (34:43):
undefined
Speaker:
stuff, it's like if I see
somebody looking at me that (34:46):
undefined
Speaker:
intently, my first thought is,
oh, he's a fan. (34:49):
undefined
Speaker:
No it's not. (34:51):
undefined
Speaker:
It's that guy is going to rob me (34:52):
undefined
Speaker:
or shoot me or stab me or (34:54):
undefined
Speaker:
something. (34:55):
undefined
Speaker:
So I get, you know, it's like,
man, is that him? (34:56):
undefined
Speaker:
I'm not sure. (34:59):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (34:59):
undefined
Speaker:
You think honey, you think
that's. (35:00):
undefined
Speaker:
I think, you know, after one or (35:01):
undefined
Speaker:
two of those, just say, hey, are (35:03):
undefined
Speaker:
you Brent Weed or Roy (35:05):
undefined
Speaker:
Huntington? (35:06):
undefined
Speaker:
And you know, if it's not,
they'll go, what in the hell are (35:07):
undefined
Speaker:
you talking about? (35:09):
undefined
Speaker:
But if it's one of us, we'll
just. (35:10):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, yeah, we are. (35:11):
undefined
Speaker:
And then you can say your piece (35:12):
undefined
Speaker:
and we'll shake hands and it's (35:14):
undefined
Speaker:
it's flattering. (35:16):
undefined
Speaker:
But yeah, I'm sure you've had (35:16):
undefined
Speaker:
that too, where it's like, why (35:18):
undefined
Speaker:
is that guy he's he's looking at (35:19):
undefined
Speaker:
me again. (35:21):
undefined
Speaker:
Something is weird here. (35:22):
undefined
Speaker:
Get ready to go to guns. (35:24):
undefined
Speaker:
I've told them no, actually
that's my twin brother. (35:26):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (35:29):
undefined
Speaker:
He's kind of a jerk, though. (35:29):
undefined
Speaker:
So it's a good thing you met me
and not him, you know? (35:30):
undefined
Speaker:
So. (35:34):
undefined
Speaker:
Exactly. (35:34):
undefined
Speaker:
The writer Dave Barry talks (35:35):
undefined
Speaker:
about that famous writer, Carl (35:36):
undefined
Speaker:
Hiaasen. (35:38):
undefined
Speaker:
He's frequently mistaken for
him, and they are friends. (35:39):
undefined
Speaker:
But he said, I always I always
wash my hands leaving the (35:42):
undefined
Speaker:
restroom because I don't want
anybody walking around going, (35:46):
undefined
Speaker:
you know, who doesn't wash his
hands after he goes bathroom. (35:48):
undefined
Speaker:
Carl Hiaasen. (35:51):
undefined
Speaker:
So anyway. (35:55):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, I got one last letter. (35:56):
undefined
Speaker:
I can't believe we actually
blasted through all these. (35:57):
undefined
Speaker:
And we're not too much over
time, but, uh. (35:59):
undefined
Speaker:
Hi. This is addressed to Roy. (36:02):
undefined
Speaker:
Hi, Roy. (36:03):
undefined
Speaker:
In response to episode three
twenty four, which is the real (36:03):
undefined
Speaker:
cost of gunsmithing he had, I
took my great grandfather's (36:06):
undefined
Speaker:
Winchester ninety four to Gary
Reeder custom guns. (36:09):
undefined
Speaker:
Turns out there was nothing
wrong with it. (36:13):
undefined
Speaker:
No bueno. (36:15):
undefined
Speaker:
Just kind of paraphrasing here. (36:16):
undefined
Speaker:
Anyway, just wanted to give a (36:17):
undefined
Speaker:
huge shout out to Gary and (36:18):
undefined
Speaker:
Colleen Reeder of Gary Reeder (36:20):
undefined
Speaker:
Custom Guns and Flagstaff, (36:21):
undefined
Speaker:
Arizona. (36:23):
undefined
Speaker:
We're we're familiar with them, (36:24):
undefined
Speaker:
but James from doesn't say where (36:25):
undefined
Speaker:
he's from, but he wanted to say (36:28):
undefined
Speaker:
thank you to to readers custom (36:31):
undefined
Speaker:
guns. (36:33):
undefined
Speaker:
And the point in reading that,
aside from giving the shout out, (36:34):
undefined
Speaker:
is just that idea that we talked
about in the podcast, that if (36:37):
undefined
Speaker:
you find a good gunsmith that
really knows what they're doing (36:40):
undefined
Speaker:
and does a good job, hold on to
them like platinum ingots (36:43):
undefined
Speaker:
Because they're getting harder
and harder to find. (36:48):
undefined
Speaker:
So I know you have a lot of (36:50):
undefined
Speaker:
thoughts on that particular (36:52):
undefined
Speaker:
subject, Roy. (36:53):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, all I can say is I agree
with him. (36:54):
undefined
Speaker:
I know Gary, I've known him for (36:57):
undefined
Speaker:
probably twenty five or thirty (36:58):
undefined
Speaker:
years. (37:00):
undefined
Speaker:
His son case, of course, his
wife and they are really old (37:00):
undefined
Speaker:
school family owned, you know,
now they do some custom guns a (37:04):
undefined
Speaker:
lot more than just the guy who
does, you know, fixes broken (37:09):
undefined
Speaker:
twenty twos on the corner. (37:12):
undefined
Speaker:
But but I, I agree completely. (37:14):
undefined
Speaker:
Gary's a great guy. (37:15):
undefined
Speaker:
They do good work. (37:17):
undefined
Speaker:
And I would recommend that you
kind of look them up if you have (37:18):
undefined
Speaker:
time because it's a real and
they're he's a funny guy too. (37:20):
undefined
Speaker:
So so there's that. (37:24):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (37:26):
undefined
Speaker:
Yep. (37:26):
undefined
Speaker:
Exactly. (37:26):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, we have come to the, my
timer actually just hit zero. (37:27):
undefined
Speaker:
So I guess we're, we're at the
end. (37:30):
undefined
Speaker:
So a couple of quick
housekeeping notes. (37:33):
undefined
Speaker:
Of course, make sure you stop by

undefined
Speaker:

undefined
Speaker:

undefined
Speaker:
And as I it was funny, I
mentioned it last podcast and I (37:41):
undefined
Speaker:
thought, that makes sense. (37:45):
undefined
Speaker:
There's thousands of articles
there, so I'm pretty sure (37:46):
undefined
Speaker:

have read every one of them. (37:49):

undefined
Speaker:
YouTube. (38:40):
undefined
Speaker:
Any any thoughts on commenting? (38:40):
undefined
Speaker:
Roy, I know you're the king of
checking it. (38:42):
undefined
Speaker:
I, well, I, I wanted to really
stress something important. (38:45):
undefined
Speaker:
If you go to American Handgunner (38:49):
undefined
Speaker:
dot com or guns magazine dot (38:51):
undefined
Speaker:
com, you will not find an AI (38:53):
undefined
Speaker:
generated article about (38:57):
undefined
Speaker:
anything. (38:59):
undefined
Speaker:
No, no. Period. (39:00):
undefined
Speaker:
You will not everything you read (39:01):
undefined
Speaker:
there, especially in the past of (39:04):
undefined
Speaker:
course. (39:06):
undefined
Speaker:
But if you see something that's
current and just written by Tank (39:07):
undefined
Speaker:
Hoover or Will Dabbs or Brent or
Tom or somebody, these are real (39:11):
undefined
Speaker:
human beings wrote this real
article, and it's not that (39:17):
undefined
Speaker:
generic AI slop that you see. (39:20):
undefined
Speaker:
I've pretty much given up trying
to do gun research on the (39:24):
undefined
Speaker:
internet, you know. (39:27):
undefined
Speaker:
Exactly. (39:29):
undefined
Speaker:
Because you go, yeah, you go. (39:29):
undefined
Speaker:
So, uh, you want to own a twenty
two rifle? (39:31):
undefined
Speaker:
Here are five reasons to own a (39:34):
undefined
Speaker:
twenty two rifle, you know, and (39:35):
undefined
Speaker:
I mean, it's just just like, (39:37):
undefined
Speaker:
really? (39:38):
undefined
Speaker:
Really. (39:39):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah, yeah. (39:39):
undefined
Speaker:
So yeah, if you want to change (39:40):
undefined
Speaker:
back to like old school, real (39:42):
undefined
Speaker:
people thinking. (39:44):
undefined
Speaker:
Talking about ideas that they
have from their experience. (39:45):
undefined
Speaker:
We're the place. (39:49):
undefined
Speaker:
Exactly. (39:51):
undefined
Speaker:
And I will say we do use some AI (39:52):
undefined
Speaker:
art because that's very (39:54):
undefined
Speaker:
convenient. (39:55):
undefined
Speaker:
And that's not, you know, if (39:56):
undefined
Speaker:
you're making a photo (39:57):
undefined
Speaker:
illustration, we could do it (39:58):
undefined
Speaker:
with Photoshop, but AI makes it (39:59):
undefined
Speaker:
easier. (40:02):
undefined
Speaker:
But we're smart enough to look
at our, our work product because (40:02):
undefined
Speaker:
I think you sent it to me, Roy,
a couple weeks ago, a gun (40:06):
undefined
Speaker:
publication sent out a
newsletter and it had a revolver (40:09):
undefined
Speaker:
that is unlike any revolver
that's ever been built. (40:13):
undefined
Speaker:
And it's like, these are
supposed to be gun people. (40:16):
undefined
Speaker:
Don't you check your work before
you send it out. (40:19):
undefined
Speaker:
So at least, you know, we use
the technology for (40:21):
undefined
Speaker:
illustrations, but at least we
check what we're doing. (40:25):
undefined
Speaker:
So can I tell my quick story
about AI slop? (40:28):
undefined
Speaker:
I told Roy about this a couple
days ago. (40:31):
undefined
Speaker:
My water lilies. (40:33):
undefined
Speaker:
The leaves are a little small
this year. (40:34):
undefined
Speaker:
So I did some some checking and (40:36):
undefined
Speaker:
with with the big guy as my (40:39):
undefined
Speaker:
witness. (40:41):
undefined
Speaker:
I went to the first website and (40:42):
undefined
Speaker:
one of the main reasons for (40:43):
undefined
Speaker:
water lily problems is (40:44):
undefined
Speaker:
overwatering. (40:46):
undefined
Speaker:
I rest my case. (40:47):
undefined
Speaker:
Yeah. (40:49):
undefined
Speaker:
Silly me, I thought you grew (40:50):
undefined
Speaker:
water lilies in the water, so I (40:51):
undefined
Speaker:
don't know. (40:54):
undefined
Speaker:
Anyway, so. (40:55):
undefined
Speaker:
Well, now, now we're going
along. (40:56):
undefined
Speaker:
But it's been great talking to
you, Roy, and I love, like I (40:57):
undefined
Speaker:
said, we both love getting the
comments and the questions and (41:00):
undefined
Speaker:
the commentary from folks. (41:03):
undefined
Speaker:
So keep that coming and you (41:05):
undefined
Speaker:
might appear on a future (41:07):
undefined
Speaker:
upcoming episode of the guns (41:08):
undefined
Speaker:
podcast us. (41:09):
undefined
Speaker:
So on behalf of my co-host, Roy (41:11):
undefined
Speaker:
Huntington, of course, I am (41:13):
undefined
Speaker:
Brent Wheat. (41:14):
undefined
Speaker:
And as we always say, you know,
it's now time to get out there (41:15):
undefined
Speaker:
and get shooting. (41:19):
undefined
