Don't call it a comeback :My social media return and why you shouldn't listen to "influencers"
it's been three years since I've posted. Along with job changes I've become more and more disenfranchised by the social media experience and the new wave of "influencers". Here's what I've been up to and what the future of this channel looks like.
Happy Birthday, America! 🇺🇲

    I Cajunized my P07, now is more expensive than a Glock or a PX4 but is custom, smooth, super reliable and works really really good. Since I have big hands my pinky jugs the edge of the P07 grip so I bought a P09 magazine and installed "The NULL: CZ P07 19 Round Magazine Adapter Sleeve" to the magazine. If you have big hands or like more capacity this is the way to go.

    I really liked how this turned into a 3 gun review. I'm looking for a new EDC gun. I used to carry a CZ-75 back in the steel gun days and loved it. I have been carrying a Glock 19, but I want to switch back to a DA/SA for liability reasons. You have given me a lot to think about. Its probably going to come down to availability, feel, and price in my local area.

    100% useful! I am a firearms instructor for a major Police Department and have used it to great and quantifiable success. It’s a tool… use it as such. With proper direction with respect to the fundamentals, it does in fact help. I will say, I used it for a year straight in classes and dry firing… probably 30,000 presses along with a Mantis X. It broke in a year, due to said usage. IMHO, well worth the 100 bucks.

    If anyone is on the fence on getting a 17L, go for it. They're currently back in production as of early 2024. Just took mine out for the first time today and agree with J, it's a soft and fun shooter. Had a BB gun of it as a kid, and thankfully the real one doesn't disappoint! Just gonna put adjustable targets sights on it for a 90s steel shootin' type build, and call it a day. It's a keeper.

    I now own both of these pistols. --- I just got my PX4 Storm Compact Carry-2. I really like the recessed hammer, and really like the orange-red glow front sight. It's very easy to line up on target. Try it, you'll like it. - I have to say its trigger is the absolute best there is compared to all the other DA pistols I have - velvety smooth and precise DA action each and every time. -- One thing I think will really surprise new users of this weapon is the decocker. When I first racked it for dry-fire and used the decocker, I expected a soft seating of the hammer like on my other DA pistols. My CZ-P07 decocker is the best - it gently seats the hammer to half-cock. - Well, the decocker on the PX4 CC2 releases the hammer with a seemingly full trigger force. I thought:- Oh boy -- that's not good! - It felt like decocking the hammer would certainly fire the pistol. The hammer force in decocking felt exactly the same as dry-firing it. - So, put my trusty 9mm laser round in it - decocked it - the hammer came down hard, but no laser fire. Dry-fired it and the laser lit up on the wall. Did both several times with the same result - decocking doesn't activate the laser round while firing the pistol does. Since Beretta does not cover this very strange phenomenon in their manual or in any review I've seen so far, including this one, can someone please explain how the hammer on the PX4 CC2 coming down with seemingly full firing force while decocking does not fire the pistol? Thanks.
