Going over the 3rd Generation S&W Shorty Forty Five, based on a model 4513 .45 ACP compact frame, silver/stainless slide with an aluminum frame. This amazing DA/SA pistol was done by the S&W Performance Center, starting in 1996 with 662 of them made. Came with a Briley Bushing https://www.briley.com/c-511-bushings.aspx , Novak sights, slide to frame fitting, trigger job, checkering on the front strap, dual recoil springs, magazine disconnect, and 7+1 .45 ACP capacity in a compact frame. True craftsmanship from the Performance Center.

Have you heard? I am losing my voice. About two years ago I had sever blepharospasm's, I now get injections to limit my eyes from closing. One of the reasons I wear the sunglasses. Now my voice is going, and trying to get a doctors appointment has been a pain, with an appointment 3 months out, as I can't go to an ENT without a referral. So I am taking a little break from videos and will try to change my videos for less talking and more visuals. I am thankful for my subscribers as I try to get to the magic 1,000 to become a real channel. I am just an independent content creator sharing things I bought/acquired over my lifetime, with you the viewer. No sponsors, no real agenda, just my views on set firearms, knives, and gear.

Experimented with a few devices in my driveway to capture the total solar eclipse. If into the stars and planets the ZWO SeeStar S50 is neat to track and see things as a smart telescope. Works great with a tablet. Cost was $400, now its $500. While some might say its expensive, compared to other options for telescopes and the portability and ability to capture video/pictures, and track set things, it is a good option to look at, if into astrology. I had friend bring it over, and was impressed Other videos were done with my smart phone, GoPro, and older cameras. Only used some video and sped things up for time.

Like a floor mat, for your cup holders and other storage places in your vehicle. Fits many makes and models of 2007 and up vehicles. Comes in black and the options of black, gray, red, and blue border trim. Precut to fit, easy to wash and clean, reduces sound, insulates, and protects. Cost is about $25-$30 and avaible on Amazon.

Different colors available, and I got Cocoa to match Ford/Lincoln Java interior. Part # 471716-1-2-4715754IM Check out www.explorerforum.com if you own a Ford Explorer

Trying out wood pellets in a Solo Stove Lite. There is a plate needed to help burn the pellets, but an accelerant is important to get the pellets to get a complete burn. This could be a good option for a beach, wet day, or time when dry wood is not available, and you need to boil/heat water for a drink or food. Its always good to test things, and know what to expect, vs thinking it should work.

Going over the Century Arms, Turkish import MKE pistol, the AP5-P a clone of the HK MP5K pistol in PDW form (5.83" threaded Navy tri lug barrel). MKE in Turkey uses HK licensed tooling to make cheaper contract pistols/machine pistols for civilian and Government applications. I was not impressed by the Century MKE and recommend the Zenith USA pistol over MKE based on my ownership of both. The HK SP5K is best, but over twice the cost (and I own one also). I recommend Zenith if on a budget. Find them on sale, not retail.

Sent my Zenith ZF5-P (MP5K/SP5K clone) back to Zenith for warranty repair, and got it back. Going over the issues I had and what I got back. I am happy with my Zenith pistol fit and finish. Also ordered an MKE version, that will arrive in a few days.

Going over the differences in the HK Mark 23 and USP 45 magazines, and installing a +5 round extension, for 17 rounds of 45 ACP.

Going over the Mob Armor magnetic phone mount, charging pad, and flex pad charger, that I am using to mount my iPhone 15 Max Pro in my Ford Explorer. I bought it all off Amazon.

Going over a product that raises the height on the comb of your rifle, to aid with higher sight lines, due to scopes and optics. Test fit it on a few rifle stocks and shotguns in the video Made in the USA of Kydex, and velcro. Removable, reusable. Comes i a variety of colors (can be custom ordered in any popular kydex pattens if you contact the manufacture) . Initial impressions are its a great product, with a wide range of use for todays optics. I might get a few more.

Please give a like, and if not subscribed, SUBSCRIBE and never miss a video of CAVCOP going over guns and gear. Comparing the H&K premium SP5K pistol to a cheaper Zenith ZF5-P. Is the $3,000 German pistol worth the cost vs the $1,200 American made Zenith clone? Do you get a better fit and finish? Is the H&K superior for welds? Spoiler alert; I will probably be sending the Zenith back for warranty work, due to I think is a small issue, but never should have passed a quality control inspection. To be fair, H&K comes with a nice carry case, a 1 point sling, 2 magazines, and a sight tool. Zenith comes with a cheaper carry bag and 1 magazine. But is that a $1,800 difference?

If you follow me, in this video you might learn a little more about me. This video is to show how to assemble an AR/M4 lower receiver, using basic tools (No fancy blocks, mounts, etc...) I try to show a few easy ways to do things, based on my years of experience. Its a simple process anyone can do at home. Lower receivers are "the firearm" and have to go through an FFL, but for $50 you can buy a stripped lower (along with FFL transfer fees, which tend to be going up as the FBI charges more to maintain an FFL). Why buy a stripped lower? Cost. If you want an AR/M4, you can buy just the lower for $50 and then pay a $25-$50 FFL fee. Other parts can be bought later., as you can afford them, through the mail or at gun shows. Another bonus is you are buying a stripped lower, that you can "build as a pistol". If you bought a complete rifle AR/M4, made by a company, its a rifle and can never legally be a pistol, unless you get a tax stamp/SBR/register it, and then you have worry about selling it later or doing paperwork to change it. A pistol you build, can stay a pistol, or be made into a rifle and back, based on the law. The AFT has put out, a pistol can be converted to a rife and back to a pistol, but a rifle must stay a rifle. Don't risk becoming a felon, making a rifle into a pistol . TIPS (you might fail to read); DO NOT USE ANY LOCTITE. USE A RAG TO WORK ON. USE OIL/GREASE ON METAL TO ALUMINUM PARTS. LINE THINGS UP, AND TAP LIGHTLY AT FIRST. USE TAPE OR CARDBOARD TO COVER THE RECEIVER (so you don't leave marks if you miss with a hammer/punch). USE A LARGE CLEAR BAG TO INSTALL SPRINGS/DETENT PINS (as they might fly off). TIGHTEN THE GRIP AND CASTLE NUT, THEN BACK OFF, AND RETIGHTEN (season the threads). STAKE YOUR CASTLE NUT, IF COMPLETE AND A SELF DEFENSE USE (non range toy). BE CAREFUL WITH THE TRIGGER GUARD EARS TOWARDS THE REAR WHEN INSTALLING THE REAR ROLL PIN, AS YOU COULD BEND/BREAK THEM.

Blasting away with GT9 12 ga ammo, to see if this cheap ammo works, or is a waste of money. Used my Saiga 12, Benelli M4, Stevens SxS and Mossberg/Howa 1000. I rate this ammo as a good buy for quality made shotguns.

Going over the basic disassembly of the Ruger SP101 (and GP100) that is almost tool less. A well engineered and over built revolver, and could be great for survival, kits, glove boxes, tool boxes, even tackle boxes.

Going over the Ruger SP101 that came out in 1989, based on the larger GP100 that came out in 1985 to replace the Security Six. A tank of a revolver, available in different calibers.

Going over Black Aces 12 ga buckshot ammo I bought, and an update on shotgun cards.
