In this video we unbox and demo the AXIL TRACKR BLU ear-pro. These are touted as the ultimate tactical/hunting All-In-One Bluetooth ear muffs with hearing enhancement, automatic noise suppression, and Bluetooth 5.0. We took them out to a dynamic Vehicle Ambush Tactics course hosted by us, PTPGun.com, and presented by Matt Watson of Tactical Operations Consulting out of Virginia. These ear-pro met every expectation I had for quality gear. The hearing enhancement allowed me to hear and register every command from the Range Commander, and the automatic noise suppression kicked in every time. The noise suppression worked perfectly. As you will see in the video, myself and another student empty our magazines through a car windshield while in the vehicle. You can imagine how loud that is! Not with the AXIL TRACKR BLU. These held up so well that we are going to have the owner of AXIL on the podcast to talk about the how and when he decided to launch an ear-pro company and what separates AXIL from the rest.

In this video we take you through the steps we use to break in a brand new handgun. The most important thing to focus on is lubrication; we want to permit high-rub areas to condition without taking damage, and lubricating these friction points will allow the gun the perfect amount of scrub. We want to see at least 100 rounds put through the firearm with several iterations of cleaning and lubrication in between. We also want to see multiple mag changes; the more the better. This forces you to work the mag release. For more added benefits of a great break in period, head over to the blog at PTP-Gun.com for a complete write-up!

In this video I take you step by step on how I sight in a new optic, be it an RDS (red dot sight) or mechanical sights. This video focuses on the Sig Sauer SOR52001 Romeo 5, but these methods should translate for most use cases. It really helps to have a spotting scope when you are targeting anything at a distance. In our case, we are sighting in at 25 yards so the spotting scope helps a ton! We are using the Vortex Diamondback, but you really don't need anything that fancy.

In this video I walk you through my first impressions firing the Hi Point Model JCP chambered in 40S&W. This thing is an absolute canon! The wrist roll when firing this pistol should not be ignored. It bucks and you can certainly feel it. I believe this is due to the barrel access and moment couple being so far above the grip on the pistol. We also compare the firing behavior of the Hi Point Model JCP 40S&W to a Glock 17. For what it is worth, this pistol will reduce a threat! We have not pushed it to the limits of reliability, but we will be shortly so stay tuned!

In this video we show you how to disassemble and reassemble the Hi Point Model JCP chambered in 40S&W. The Hi Point JCP has an barrel length of 4.5" and an overall length of 7.75". It weighs in at a full 35OZ (YOWZERS!!) and sports a 10 round magazine. The Hi Point JCP has a full polymer frame and metal slide assembly. It comes with adjustable rear sights and a fixed front post. What I think is the best thing about the Hi Point Model JCP 40S&W is that it comes with a lifetime warranty. No questions asked, and it doesn't matter if you are the first or the third owner of the firearm. Interested in getting one of your own?

In this video we take you inside the box with the Advantage Arms 22LR conversion kit for the Glock 17. This thing easily converts your Glock (in our case the Glock 17) to a 22LR firearm. Why: versatility, ammunition costs, training aid, ... the list goes on. ADJUSTABLE SIGHTS The front and rear sights are removable GLOCK style sights. The rear sight is adjustable for both windage and elevation LAST ROUND LOCK OPEN The slide will lock open after the last round in the magazine has been fired. Our unique patented magazine design and heat-treated steel lock open insert allows us to offer this special and desirable feature which you can only find on 'Advantage Arms' .22LR Conversion Kits for the GLOCK pistol. INTERNAL FIRING PIN SAFETY Glock incorporated an internal firing pin safety into their guns. We thought it was important enough to include it on our conversion kits as well. Our internal firing pin safety is designed to eliminate accidental discharges from dropping the firearm. FINISH All Aluminum parts are Anodized Per Mil-A-8625 with a matte black finish. All steel parts are heat treated with a Black Oxide Finish. The barrel is made from heat treated 416 Stainless Steel. THE 10 SECOND INSTALLATION Installation is simple and does not require any modifications to your GLOCK pistol. Simply remove the GLOCK magazine and slide as outlined in your GLOCK owner's manual. Now slide the "Advantage Arms" slide onto the frame, until it engages with the slide lock. Check to make sure that the slide lock is in its most upward position. Insert the conversion magazine. You are now ready to shoot. This procedure can be accomplished in less than 10 seconds with some practice. ONE YEAR FACTORY DIRECT WARRANTY Warranty covers any defects in materials or workmanship.
