    1. Yo. Not the best use of trigger control….fingers out of trigger guard until you’re ready to fire. Learned that at like 5…..

    2. Imagine telling someone in the 1700s that one day you could carry a tiny pistol in your pocket and fire 10 shots without reloading. They’d probably think you were describing magic or witchcraft. Honestly… it still kinda feels like sci-fi even now.

      Some pistols like the Marlin 39A and Colt M1911 have been in use since the late 1800s/early 1900s and are still in use.

    4. The Colt Single Action Army is the greatest pistol ever made. 6 bullets; enough to kill anything that moves

      I’m still in early learning about firearms, but the MK II’s at the end, are those the type used in Olympic marksman competitions? I just noticed the distance increase despite the smaller caliber ammunition. Great video!

      I’m not at all experienced with firearms or shooting, but I could help thinking about the backstops here. Is it normal to use just what’s basically a pile of dirt, or am I missing something here?

      Amazing how little firearm technology has changed in the past 100 years compared to how much it changed prior.

    8. TIL the Mauser and Lugar were one of the first gas-operated pistols and came out before 1900. For some reason I thought these style of guns came out after WW1.

    9. The 1911 will always be my favorite side arm.
      But I’m jealous your collection has everything from pirates to cowboys.

      Revolvers are cool but I hate the way they roll in your hand when you fire them I prefer a guard.
