KelTec P17 Red Dot Slide Minuteman Review #shorts
AmbGun’s Minuteman Review KelTec’s P17 Red Dot Slide
The slide features the Keltec logo cut into the top of the slide.
and features an aluminum slide cap
So no polymer sandwiched between the slide and the optic.
A beautiful piece of work that adds a touch of elegance to the P17.
Slide and optic is 132 grams. 10 grams lighter than the Tanner adapter plate solution.
(Remove the front sight to shave two more grams of reciprocating mass.) More reliable.
Easy to swap between red dot and iron sights.
Doesn’t work with the AmbGun Hammer Block.
Suppressor height front sight does not work with any of my holsters
The Crimson Trace red dot is a “gain of function collusion”, “made in china” optic.
Hopefully KelTec offers the RMSc compatible slide without an optic so you can choose your own dot. I switched to the Shield SMSc.
$199 for the slide and CT1500 is a decent deal, but $100 for just the slide would be better.

22LR Ruger LCP II Part 3 - Reliability and Magazine Disengagements
Accidental mag disengagements turned increasingly common.
MCARBO offers a stiffer magazine release spring.
Installation of the mag button spring requires removing the FCU.
With the LCP’s FCU disassembled, it was a good opportunity to remove the magazine disconnector so the little pistol can fire without a mag inserted (or while a mag is disengaged)
However, had I known before purchasing the extra cost and hardship of upgrading the LCP, I would have chosen a 22 caliber LCR or a S&W 43c or a NAA mini revolver. Or waited for a Keltec P10.

AmbGun Minuteman Review of the Mantis BlackbeardX #shorts
The Mantis BlackbeardX, exclusively for the AR15, is multiple products in one
The BlackbeardX BCG is a dry fire training laser that, within limits, can be adjusted to match your AR’s sighting system.
You can also use the training laser with the free Mantis Laser Academy app to automatically score your hits on targets.
Moreover the BBX BCG will also automatically reset your trigger…so you can dry fire without the hassle of manually cycling your rifle.
And embedded in the battery pack magazine that runs all of this is MantisX that provides feedback about the steadiness of your trigger manipulation. Are you anticipating recoil, are you jerking the trigger, are you “dragging wood”?
Via the MantisX app, you can earn your Basic and Advanced Rifleman patches.
MantisX app and the Laser Academy, Two separate apps performing very different functions. I suggest using an old phone for Mantis Laser Academy and your current phone for the MantisX scoring.
But I really found the autoresetting trigger hugely beneficial for practicing canted, point shooting. So beneficial that an “ambied” AR15 paired with BBX is no longer disparaged as a relic when compared to the modern, ambidextrous bullpups.

Sig Sauer P322 AmbGun Minuteman Review #shorts
Ambidextrous Slide stop/release and ambi safety
Mag release configurable LH or RH
Changing the brightness settings on RomeoZero red dot…challenging
P322 splits the difference between the P365XL and P320 as a rimfire trainer
Great for carrying in the Hill People Runner’s Kit Chest pack.
High composite score on AmbGun’s Rounds per size and weight spreadsheet
Rear sight filler plate not included in optics package, get P322 without the optic and mount a better red dot…and have the plate in case you change your mind about red dots.
Pretty reliable except for light strikes on Aquila ammo.
100% with Mini-Mag
Pay attention when loading mags…most malfunction issues arise there.

Training your brain’s use of your eyes
Red dot, ACOG, lighted reticle, irons (peep sight).
Hyper reality of ACOG probably helps draw the brain to that eye.
If using a magnified optic make sure it is installed with the correct eye relief.
In Project Appleseed we teach “turkey neck, cheek weld” for precision marksmanship, to isolate ambi training a comfortable, relaxed cheek weld is fine as long as the optic is properly placed.
Obstructed eye has almost no valuable information so brain favors sighting eye
Place a target, a post it note
Place barrier about 10 yards from the target, (inflatable paintball bunker, cardboard box, tree, utility pole)

https://youtu.be/8u3qX456hzU?si=8GAbMOTnSIiP_f4p
The Wyoming Traders CCW vests are my favorite for fall, winter, and spring carry.
My First Wyoming Trader’s Cody vest housed a PF9
My second Cody vest was modified to accept velcro holsters.
I have three Wyoming Traders “Sheridan Non-ccw vests, great for IWB carry. In Cinnamon, Tan, and Black.
Now a new Cody Vest protects a P17
And a slim Texas CCW vest is mated with a LCP
Cody has a YKK zipper
And when removing the vest the pistol is sandwiched from view within a pouch.
The Texas demands a bit more discretion when removing it.
Neither is meant for fast access to a chambered pistol
And the Bronco Canvas vest for kids with plenty of pockets for some paracord or a flashlight.
Or to carry their carving knife
or just look cool on the playground
And to carry BB’s for a Daisy Buck 105
Durable canvas shell, elegant snaps and buttons, and cool “Steamboat” Bronc logo. See AmbGun’s previous videos on the Wyoming Traders Vests.

Goat Guns - Minuteman Review #shorts #GGSKIT
You don’t need this, but it’s so cool you will want one…or more.
This is the AmbGun minuteman review of GoatGuns
These 1/3rd scale die cast gun models feature many moving parts.
The AR15 features a functioning charging handle, mag release, and trigger (though a bit mushy…Gieselle upgrade?). Magazines are loaded with three inert cartridges. The safety rotates and the butt stock is adjustable. The Suppressor or flash hider may be unthreaded.
Optional ACOG with those big bulbous Trijicon mounting nuts actually mount it to the pic rail. You can also add an optional vertical grip to your AR15 or M16
The AK47 features a rock in mag with the paddle release. The Charging Handle cycles and the safety moves. The dust cover can be removed just like the real thing. Trigger is a bit mushy, but that’s to be expected for most production AK’s.
Anyone who owns the real thing, is going to want one of these models. Anyone who can’t buy the real thing, will get plenty of vicarious satisfaction owning a Goat Gun. There are almost 30 different models. I can’t wait to see a lever action Goat Gun.

Mantis Laser Academy - Dry Fire Minuteman Review
Mantis Laser Academy is your home dry fire training facility
Download free base version
Download and print auto detect targets for free or order from Mantis
Videos guide you in the use of Laser Academy and then provides pistol instruction…grip, stance, low ready, trigger control, and the Pistol Marksmanship Course drills and tests.
You’ll really need the Pro version for key Drills and challenges
Pro Costs about $50…equal to three boxes of centerfire pistol ammo.
Pair with MantisX for feedback about your steady hold factors, grip, and trigger pull
Uses a any Laser training cartridge or the BlackbeardX with auto resetting trigger and embedded MantisX for AR’s
In my opinion, it would be borderline irresponsible to own a CCW pistol and not have Laser Academy Pro, the targets, a training laser, and MantisX. Everytime I get a new pistol, I dry fire it for a thousand shots before doing any live fire.
