In the follow-up to my original Whisper Strike Carbine 9 suppressor review, I'm answering the question does this silencer shift your point of impact? I set up a controlled test with 115gr, 124gr and, 147gr subsonic 9mm: 3 shots unsuppressed, 3 shots suppressed. The results speak for themselves.

We tested it across multiple calibers and grain weights to find its limits, and the results were impressive.
The Carbine 9 performed flawlessly, handling both 9mm and 5.56 with ease. We took a deep dive into 9mm performance specifically, running 124 grain and 147 grain loads to check for reliability and felt recoil. Whether you're looking for a versatile suppressor for your PCC or a multi-caliber solution for your range bag, this unit proved it can handle the pressure.

Hard cases like the Apache 9800 have been the gold standard for protection for a long time, but after miles of hauling and countless range trips, I realized they aren't always the best tool for the job. In this video, I’m breaking down why I finally moved on from the "big box" and made the switch to the Savior Equipment Bag.
We’re diving into the pros and cons of hard vs. soft cases, focusing on:
• Weight & Portability: How much back-strain am I actually saving?
• Storage Capacity: Fitting two rifles, pistols, and accessories in one footprint.
• Organization: The built-in features that make the Savior bag a game-changer compared to pluck-foam.
• Durability: Can a soft bag really protect your glass and gear as well as an Apache?
Whether you're looking for a more efficient way to get to the range or you're tired of your hard case taking up half your trunk, this comparison will help you decide if it's time for you to swap too.

In this 2026 review, I take the full-size PDP to the range to test that legendary factory trigger and ergonomics.

I finally got my hands on the Walther PDP and after putting rounds through it, I understand the hype.

Right out of the box, the trigger is crisp with a clean break and a short, positive reset — easily one of the best factory striker-fired triggers I’ve felt. No upgrades, no polishing, just solid performance from the start.

The grip is another standout. The texture locks into your hand without being overly aggressive, and the ergonomics make the pistol feel incredibly natural and controllable, even during faster strings of fire. It’s one of those guns that just fits.

In this video, I’m breaking down my first impressions, range time, and why the PDP might be one of the best striker-fired pistols available today.

Let me know what you think of the PDP and if you’re running one — or planning to.

But does it actually live up to the hype? Today we’re unboxing a brand new MC9, checking out that legendary Canik trigger, and comparing the size and capacity to a standard P80 build.
With a 17-round capacity in a slim frame and a factory-ported slide, this pistol offers a lot of features for the price. I’m breaking down the out-of-the-box experience and my plans for future upgrades.
Key Features we discuss:
• The crisp factory trigger (and how it compares to Apex).
• 17+1 capacity in a sub-compact footprint.
• Slide porting and optic-cut features.
• Size comparison vs. P80/Glock clones.

The results definitely show an improvement, but it’s not without a few hiccups—mainly some extractor issues that are keeping this build from being absolutely perfect.

If you’ve been following along with this series, you know we’ve been working to push the Tisas 1911 DS Carry into something that punches way above its price point. In this episode, I’ll walk through the porting process, show range results, and break down the pros and cons of the setup so far.

✅ Budget-friendly 2011 platform

We’re hitting the range in Utah to test the ergonomics of the Die Free Co Kung Fu Grip, the Rise Armament trigger, and seeing how this setup handles bill drills at 40 yards.
In this video, we cover:
• Why I chose the 14.5" Saber upper.
• Savings with "Blem" lowers and used optics.
• Range performance and heat management issues.
