For this week's assignment, using the SAR B6, we had to perform a dry function check and dummy round function check and also perform a field strip, sub-assembly function check and a detailed strip of the firearm. I do not show the full disassembly and reassembly in this video due to time requirements for the assignment but I will be uploading the full disassembly and reassembly videos soon. #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible LIKE COMMENT SHARE SUBSCRIBE

For this week's assignment we are asked to pick a firearm that we are not familiar with to show how we would find issues on firearms we have not worked on before. I also give information on what we learned about the firearm chosen to work with. My #SDI Experience #ThinkMegaTV LIKE COMMENT SHARE SUBSCRIBE

In this episode I am still testing different recoil spring weights in The Porter and I also have a close-up side view of the gun to really show the recoil. #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible LIKE COMMENT SHARE SUBSCRIBE

For the first week's assignment we were asked to go to a few different firearm websites to search for schematics diagrams and certain parts for the Sig Sauer p226. This would be the procedure for finding parts to repair a customer's firearm. #ThinkMegaTV My #SDI Experience

This is the initial testing phase of a build I call The #Porter. The Porter is built on the Glock 19 platform with a Glock 17 length slide. The slide is ported and so is the barrel, why it is named The Porter. Every piece of the gun is custom and getting it to run safely in this configuration is a task, but thats what gunsmithing is for. This is one of my longer videos but I show the first shot, every malfunction I faced and the end we see. Will it Run? #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible LIKE COMMENT SHARE SUBSCRIBE Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:15 The Porter Introduction 02:23 Range Day 1 FTE 08:30 Range Day 2 12:03 Range Day 3 Binary Shooting 17:19 Range Day 4 Final Phase 20:08 Last 2 mags, 40 Shots 21:00 Overall Assessment 21:47 Outro

In this episode I give my assessment of the overall striker-fired class of Sonoran Desert Institute's Handgun Specialist program. I go over some areas that may require attention using the PSA Dagger for demonstration. My #SDI Experience LIKE COMMENT SHARE SUBSCRIBE

This is the third firearm sent for the SDI Handgun Specialist program. The first class was on revolvers and we were sent the Taurus 856 and for the striker-fired class we were sent a PSA Dagger kit. The third and final gun sent for the hammer-fired class is the SAR B6 which is a Turkish clone of the CZ-75. In this video I show the unboxing, I field strip the firearm and I also take it to the range for its first shots. #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible LIKE COMMENT SHARE SUBSCRIBE

Week 4 was all about frame modification. For this week's assignment we had practice stipple sheets to draw a pattern on, create a border, sand and stipple. After working on the practice sheets, we had to stipple a pattern on the PSA Dagger that was sent to us or any frame that can be worked on. It took me awhile to get the hang of recessed borders and I still have more to put more time in to get better. After some practice with the borders, I gained the confidence to stipple my Dagger frame. I close out by speaking on the processes to get through the assignment.

In this episode I give in depth info on the different guns I have carried by showing the dimensions, the weight and what made them the guns I chose to carry and why I stopped carrying them. I plan to share more info about firearms from my personal experiences and from a gunsmith's perspective. #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible LIKE COMMENT SHARE SUBSCRIBE 00:00 Intro 00:15 Opening 00:27 Sig p320 M18 01:23 p320 dimensions 02:08 Why I stopped carrying p320 04:22 Sig p365 06:36 p365 dimensions 07:46 Why I stopped carrying p365 09:54 Canik TP9 Elite SC 11:21 TP9 dimensions 11:51 Canik stock trigger 12:28 p320 M18 reliability 12:54 Why I stopped carrying TP9 13:16 Sig p365 X Macro Comp 15:31 Macro dimensions 16:55 p320 carry weight 17:39 p365 carry weight 17:56 TP9 carry weight 18:15 Macro carry weight 18:45 Closing 21:04 Outro

For this week's assignment we had to perform a field strip of the PSA Dagger and with the firearm field stripped, point out the sub-assemblies and explain some of their interactions and functionality. We also had to articulate are readiness to work on the striker-fired platform. Then we were to perform a headspace check using the 9mm Go, No-Go gauges. This is the second class of Sonoran Desert Institute's Handgun Specialist program. My #SDI Experience LIKE COMMENT SUBSCRIBE SHARE

In this video my VA Day 1 brotha was in town and this is his first time seeing the Prodigy, Rival S, Platypus, and Macro. I also shot the PSA Dagger build for the first time and had a recurring issue with the AMEND 2 aftermarket Glock magazines. These are all guns he has been looking forward to getting his hands on and its great when your family can enjoy your toys. SHARING IS CARING. #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible LIKE COMMENT SUBSCRIBE SHARE

In this week's assignment we go over the experience of assembling the PSA Dagger. I also demonstrate how to measure the barrel length of the Dagger. In closing I articulate the difference of measuring the barrel twist of a barrel that is not long enough to complete a full rotation.

In the second week of the Striker-Fired pistol class the assignment is to complete a full assembly of Palmetto State Armory Dagger. This kit was sent with everything needing to be assembled, even things I have never done like putting the spring on the slide stop, the spring on the recoil assembly, and even the thin piece of metal in the backplate. This entire gun and every part needed to be assembled, and it was a fun experience. I have built a couple P80s and this Dagger was different. #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible LIKE COMMENT SHARE SUBSCRIBE

The second class of Sonoran Desert Institute's Handgun Specialist program is about the striker-fired handgun platform. For this class we received a PSA Dagger kit that has to be assembled in week 2, we also received a rotary tool and a Weller 25 watt wood burning kit. Along with the Dagger build we will also be learning how to stipple which I look forward to learning. #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible LIKE COMMENT SHARE SUBSCRIBE

This is the first week of @SdiEdu Sonoran Desert Institute's Striker-Fired Pistol platform of the new Handgun Specialist program. In this week's assignment we introduce a striker-fired pistol to go over what tools are needed for disassembly and what tools are used for measurements of the firearm. #MY #SDI #EXPERIENCE #ThinkMegaTV

This week's assignment was about tuning the trigger of the Taurus 856 revolver. We started with a trigger pull with a gauge to get an average trigger pull weight. Then we had to disassemble the firearm, use Dykem layout fluid to mark the action parts of the firearm, reassemble the firearm, work the action to find the high points, then polish and sand them. Then I had to reassemble the firearm gauge the trigger pull again, then changed the hammer and trigger springs and did one final trigger gauge. This assignment ended with me demonstrating how to use the go no-go gauges to measure the cylinder gap of the firearm. #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV

In this video, I show how to make a Glock or Polymer 80 trigger run smoother. I pull out the Dremel, Mother's polish and Flitz polish to give the trigger bar and connector a mirror shine. I am performing this task on a Gen 5 Glock 19. #megaguns #thinkmegatv #thinkgreaterthan #beresponsible

In this video I pull out the good ol' VISM sight pushing tool to finally change the sights on this well finished Gen 5 Glock 19, the most popular handgun in the world. I love everything about the look of this gun other than the sights, so I got some @TrijiconInc night sights. I may do a trigger swap some day but for now these sights will do. #Glock #Trijicon #pewpew #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible

In this week's assignment we had to point out and describe some internal parts of the revolver and which cycles of operation would be affected by a malfunction. We also had to measure the barrel twist of the Taurus 856 snub nose revolver.

I have shown the unboxing of the Taurus 856, I have done school assignments with the 856, I have fully disassembled and reassembled the 856. I have done everything but shoot the 856. In this video I take it to the range and go through 4 cylinders of Aguila 125 grain .38 Special +P jacketed hollow point bullets. I would prefer to have training ammo that is not +P due to the cost but this was all I could get. I did not expect shooting a snub nose revolver would be so fun. #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible LIKE COMMENT SUBSCRIBE SHARE

Its weird that the gun I carry the most is probably the gun I shoot the least. That is because I am usually using one of my "fancier" or more expensive guns. Even though I do not shoot this gun as often, my first shot shows that the muscle memory is there. My favorite guns may not be my carry gun but I can tell you, this Sig Sauer p365 X Macro is by far my favorite EDC in the 4 years I have been carrying. Let me know your favorite carry gun in the comments. #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible COMMENT LIKE SUBSCRIBE SHARE

In this episode I take the Stealth Arms Platypus out to put a few mags through it. It still shows some issues locking back after the last round with OEM Glock magazines, but in this video I put 4 mags through and it did lock back on 3 of the 4 mags so I will take that for now. #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible LIKE COMMENT SUBSCRIBE SHARE

In this short, 5 minute video I send 60 rounds downrange from one of my favorite handguns, the Canik Rival S. I have named this one the Silver Surfer. #MegaGuns #ThinkMegaTV #ThinkGreaterThan #BeResponsible LIKE COMMENT SUBSCRIBE SHARE

In the second week assignment for FTH 202 of Sonoran Desert Institute's Handgun Specialist program, we had to disassemble and reassemble the Taurus 856 double action revolver. Due to the length of the video, I thought it would be better ini two parts. MY #SDI #experience #ThinkMegaTV

This is the second week assignment for FTH 202 of Sonoran Desert Institute's Handgun Specialist program. In this video I perform a complete disassembly of the Taurus 856 double action revolver. This is part one with part two being the reassembly. MY #SDI #experience #ThinkMegaTV
