Henrys X 45 70 and Poly 80 10mm Test Fire
Well the Henrys X 45-70 project is almost complete. The Poly 80 10mm is almost complete. But first we have to test fire these guns. Back to Ace Firearms and to Roger Ward to test fire both.
Both turned out to be very impressive....but not quite finished yet.
Plus the next project looming on the horizon.
Check it out.

Op-ed fails to understand realities around guns and schools
Back after a long absence, due to attending to my wife during cancer treatment and surgery. All successful.
But the grind goes on.
Recently a student wrote an oped concerning guns and schools, which is sort of a hot button with me. Here is the exploration of that topic from the 2 Mar 2022 airing of LockNLoad with Bill Frady on Genesis Communications Network.

CZ Bren 2 MS
The next generation of the Bren, the Bren 2 Ms makes first landfall in the US in pistol form with multiple barrel lengths and two chamberings. Whereas the 805 Bren was designed to a specific set of requirements set out by the Czech military, the Bren 2 is a clean-sheet design. With a bevy of changes, the most noticeable is sure to be the strict weight-loss regimen that the Bren 2 has undergone. With a trimmed-down aluminum receiver and a lower made from carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, the result is a robust but substantially lighter gun.
Gone is the reciprocating charging handle, replaced with one that stays stowed in the forward position until it is needed. Swappable from side to side, it does double duty as a forward assist. Also added is an AR-style bolt catch/release system that is mirrored on both sides of the firearm, as well as a catch/release nestled into the front of the trigger guard. The magazine release and safety are also ambidextrous and located in very familiar locations for anyone versed in the AR platform.
Chambered in 223 and 7.62×39, each is available in several barrel lengths. AR-15 style magazines are used for 223 variants, whereas in 7.62 the factory’s magazines are used to ensure last round hold-open and consistent feeding. All variants are swappable to different barrel lengths and chamberings and also feature a modular forend that can be swapped to different lengths.
In pistol form, the Bren 2 Ms comes with a flush rear plate that has the provision for attaching a AR-style buffer tube for the installation of an arm brace, cheek rest or similar pistol stabilizing device. For those who wish to SBR, a Carbine buffer tube and stock can be installed or the entire rear plate can be removed and replaced with a factory folding/adjustable stock.

The Henrys 45 70 Project
I have started and completed many project guns that i have not filmed yet.
The Spikes Tactical DMR Project, The CZ Bren 2MS Urban Pistol Project,
The Maverick 88 Shotgun Project.
But those are all the sort of guns that are part of my wheel house. I decided to get in on the trend of modernizing the venerable Lever gun.
Enter the Henrys X 45-70 Lever Gun. Here I preview the parts from Ranger Point Precision and XS Sights that will transform this into My Apocalypse Rifle!!! Or at least turn it to a modern version of an already proven design.
Tell me what you think.

Taran Tactical Innovations Combat Master Glock 45
A few years back I met Taran Butler just before the opening of John Wick 3 in conjunction with some stuff I was doing at the Staccato booth at the NRA show.
He and I have had a few conversations and a couple of video interviews since then.
Earlier this year i called him to tell him I was tossing in the towel on Glock. Since my heart attack, I just couldn't shoot them any more. He told me to send him one of mine(which I didn't own one at the time). He was going to demonstrate to me, what he could do to make a Glock shootable for me.
Here it is.

CZ P10M and P10F Comp Ready First Look
New from CZ USA we have the CZ P10M and the CZ P10F Comp Ready.
From the CZ USA Website;
While many of CZ’s tactical handguns were born of competition guns, the new CZ P-10 F Competition-Ready pistol followed the opposite trajectory. The new P-10 F Competition-Ready utilizes the full-size P-10 F frame and has a barrel and slide that are a half-inch longer, providing a longer sight radius for the included fiber optic front sight and fixed serrated rear sight. Additionally, like other P-10 models, the slide is milled to accept mounting plates for the most popular micro red-dot optics on the market. The pistol is outfitted with an Apex Tactical extended magazine catch, extended slide stop, back slide cover along with a HB Industries trigger for increased performance. Since every competition gun needs a little flash, gold accents on the barrel slide cover and on the trigger and three magazines equipped with aluminum Henning Group bases make this handgun stand out in the P-10 line and on the firing line.
And
CZ-USA has announced a new concealed carry pistol with the much anticipated micro-compact P-10 M pistol release. This gun has everything people love about CZ pistols while being engineered explicitly for flawless concealed carry. The first thing most people notice about the P-10 M is its completely smooth appearance. Featuring an internal slide stop, there are no controls or levers on either side of the gun other than the magazine release. This helps prevent any part of the pistol from snagging on clothing during the draw, ensuring the P-10 M will be ready and deployed when needed. The P-10 M is also a snap to disassemble for cleaning. Remove the take-down pin from the frame, and the slide comes right off. Since self-defense situations can arise at any time or place, the P-10 M comes standard with a set of robust 3-dot sight.

FN 509 MRD Mid Size
So, I just noticed the FN 509 enough to go out and get one to try it. Before, I wasn’t that interested in it……well I could not tell you why.
But then a few of my class mates shot them in the RDS class that Steve Fisher gave in Reevesville SC.
The pistol seemed to run like a Swiss watch, and I resolved to get one then to try, and then promptly forgot.
Here we are, present day. I have purchase and shot the FN 509 MRD Mid Size. Then I stuck Holosun 507k on it with a C&H precision adapter plate, and there it is. A nearly perfect carry gun, totally adequate out of the box, but taken as far as it can be by adding a red dot.
I wonder about all those other guns I havent tried yet?

Sig P365 2nd Look
So, my last video on this gun caused quite the ruckus, and I think needlessly caused a ruckus.
The Sig P365 is a great carry gun, but if you have aging, arthritic hands, well there will need to be some adaptation. So I adapted.
Comparing this to a Glock 19 on the range, it becomes apparent that the Sig is more accurate.
So I am back, both to point out what I learned and to give both clarity and rebuttal.
Check it out.

Sig P320 VTAC
Next chapter....final chapter. Who knows. Here is the Sig Sauer P320 VTAC in 9mm. This pistol blew me away with its accuracy, its natural point of aim, its recoil mitigation, the day/night sights. A very well thought out pistol.
From the Sig website;
This P320 XSeries pistol is optimized with Viking Tactical (VTAC®) Day/Night sights for enhanced visibility and target awareness. The slide comes equipped with front slide serrations. A straight XSeries trigger brings it all together for crisp, sharp performance. This XSeries straight trigger gives a clean 90° break — perfect for precision and accuracy. An extended beavertail and high undercut trigger guard promote a higher grip and improved recoil control. The P320 X-VTAC brings a heightened level of performance to the P320 XSeries pistols.

Full Adoption of the Red Dot Sight System
So, sometimes you come to this realization that a change is definitely the way to go. To that end, I have had to come to grips with what I need to be a better defensive shooter.
And that is a Red Dot Sight.
So all of my carry guns are now going to transition to RDS. But......
I also want to even up on my overall accuracy. So here we go.
First i send my beloved Glock 45 9mm to C&H Precision Weapon Systems, to get that RDS cut and have a very nice Holosun 407 installed. In order to give me some more edge with a nice new trigger from CHPWS called the TAC Overwatch. When that gets here, then we will be setting off on that challenge to shoot all of my handguns as good as I do the excellent Chambers Custom PHAT WMG C.
Stay tuned.
