before we forget please subscribe

for the next installment double fisting
two g2cs part two
i moved from new york city to las vegas
in 1996.
i was painting and hanging billboards
for clients like
marlborough beezer homes lowry's
restaurant chain and the local casinos
i was also welding old billboard
structures that needed refurbishing
living most of my adult life in new york
no decent citizen
could own a firearm due to the
restrictive gun laws
in vegas there were taggers who would
graffiti the billboards
and would take pot shots at you if you
cleaned up their graffiti within a month
in vegas
i picked up a 12 gauge mossberg pump
shotgun
and a taurus 357 magnum revolver
gosh that was old school loadout
at the end of 1999 i purchased a glock
22c
in 40 smith and wesson
it came with two high-capacity magazines
each carrying 15 rounds
the c stands for compensated as the
barrel was ported
and the top of the slide was milled open
as well
i got some trijicon night sights and a
phobos
kydex holster for it
the 40 packed a wallet and i carried
spear gold dot ammo for self defense
that same ammo that local law
enforcement carried
30 rounds of spear goldat
was plenty for self-defense
in 2000 the local community experienced
a turf war with the drug gangs
the war from la spilled over into vegas
there were gang land murders near unlv
and mccarran airport
the glock 22c was my everyday carry
911 finally happened in 2001
high security was in full swing the
united states
instated homeland security powers
we invaded iraq and afghanistan
life became the green zone norm
and the gang wars just disappeared as a
supply of narcotics
dried up from south of the border
in 2007 i just came back from my
assignment
at the space coast in florida the
offices of taurus was based out of miami
and the manufacturing was carried out by
tors forges
of brazil that's when i
picked up a first generation
taurus pt145
chambered in 45 acp
here i am demonstrating a striker fire
pistol
with a safety selector switch
up for safe down for fire
all glocks do not have this
safety selector switch
once broken in this taurus had a very
good trigger
for a striker fire pistol
it had one designed flaw later
discovered by some hack
who was messing around the shooter
took the trigger to the wall as so
held it there for no good reason
and engaged the safety holster
weapon and forget the hack
would place shooting finger again to the
trigger
without disengaging said safety
pulling the trigger dropped hammer
discharging the weapon big
ouch the slide
is locked in place
at the time tours had a lifetime
warranty
anything wrong just returned the product
there is also a
product recall for the millennium pros
the newest iteration fixed the safety
selector switch
did i return my pt145 for that update
it's obvious in my video i did not
i don't have the penchant to be dumb
enough to hold a live trigger to the
wall
and then engaged the safety
it's not rocket surgery dear heart
so says the guy returning to vegas from
the space coast of florida in 2007
then the panic of 2008 happened
guess what i used the pt-145 as my
everyday carry till 2015.
brazil has an aerospace industry
that experienced its third growth spurt
from 1996
to 2007. we're not dealing with a third
world banana republic
in fact beretta of italy struck a
licensing deal
with the government of brazil to
manufacture
military-grade arms for the armed forces
of brazil
so long as the tooling and know-how
employed
indigenous engineers and skilled
labor lastly these arms were never sold
to the brazilian public
that all changed in 2019 where limited
sales
were permitted to private citizens all
in all
these pt-100s were intended for use
by military police and the armed
services of brazil
fast forward to year 2020.
beretta was pushing its m983 pistol
through army trials but sig sauer
won with its m17 pistol
any civilian can purchase the
m9a3 beretta pistol
along with three 17-round magazines
it is designated beretta 92
x i repeat 92
x with a street price
of around 800
sig sauer also sells its
m17 pistol to the civilian market
it is designated as the p
320 pistol i'm going to repeat p
320 with a street price
of around 650 dollars
that includes two 17 round magazines
and night sights sales taxes will
set you back about 700 bucks
on the other hand taurus pistols
are now manufactured in america
its factories located in main bridge
georgia surely the
defective safety lawsuit set taurus
back by 39 million
buckaroos however
taurus may not care much about the
brazilian civilian market
but the american consumer appears to be
its main bread and butter
satorus usa made a decision
it is in the american market to stay for
good
relocating its manufacturing to
bainbridge
was a smart marketing move
it told its valued customers that taurus
was ready to invest
in american quality and american labor
a g2c pistol could be had for two bills
in change
i acquired two in the nine millimeter
flavor
which included four 13 round magazines
it was that or two high point pistols
lessons learned by 9 11 attacks
and the 2008 panic
be prepared
wouldn't it be nice if 100 percent of
the people in the world
were truly kind and considerate
wouldn't just make your day if people
say to you
yes please yes thank you
have a nice day good sir i promise not
to
rob and kill you
but that's too much to ask and you
have the right to self-defense
to make a long story short you
end up clocking a dirt bag or two
self-defense what happens next
that seven hundred dollar sig sauer
it's going to the evidence vault
that 800 dollar beretta
you used it for self-defense
well it's going to be locked up
and it's going to be some three years
possibly five years before you get it
back
but you're out almost a solid thousand
no problems get yourself another get
fork up another thousand
but the shelves in gun shops today seem
to be cleaned out
these past couple of months
it's an election year it's the rona
hordes of hundreds of thousands are
being laid off
make up any cool excuse
but you know what be
prepared plus
be flexible
makes me all warm and fuzzy inside
i pulled the trigger with the purchase
of two g2cs
for the price of less than one
glock it's made in america
extra magazines are cheap and available
design
fit and function is solid
so i'm being flexible and
learning to adapt to the situation
to the environment
best of all it's tiny for everyday
caring
ever had a chunk of metal pinned to your
hip all day
i had a large glock 22c for an edc
after three hours no after
two hours it was an insufferable pain
it made me limp funny
its big-ass grip printed your gut
like a billboard on the vegas strip
it tells everyone even the bad guys
you're carrying concealed
the g2c is the right size the right
weight heck you can dual carry for the
new york reload
plus to avoid walking one-sided
it's easy on the sciatica
always good to have a backup for your
main weapon
even better when your backup is the same
as your main heck
parts are interchangeable
that five thousand dollar 1911
forget about it forget about it
clip a dirt bag with a 1911 and
you might as well dig two graves
your local d.a prosecutor would love to
edc
your five thousand dollar 1911.
okay i've been chewing on your ears for
some time now
so i'm gonna give my gums a rest
enjoy the remainder of the video and
i'll get back to you
when i sign off
just a little trivia did you know that
the vatican of the roman catholic church
is the single entity
that owns the most real estate in the
entire world
and did you also know that brett of
italy is so old
that it made its start crafting bows and
arrows spears and shields
battle axes and swords during the dark
ages
the vatican is the single largest
stakeholder
of britain of italy even though
bread of italy is a private
company in this modern age
protecting the vatican's real estate
holdings
requires vast military resources
guns go figure
so
so
so
so
so
so
thank you for watching double fisting
the greasy twos
be sure to subscribe like and share

during this rona and shelter in place
i'm seeking a local range that will
allow me
to film some range time if it's
not one logistical headache it's gonna
be three or four
but hang in there buds we'll get some
kiss kiss
bang bang for you till then
be well be prepared
you
