European American Arms Windicator .38 Special

Hey y'all! Welcome back!

This week I'll be demo'ing the EAA, EA/R Windicator. 38 special snubby. Right away, I like the feel of this gun. It's comfortable and has a good feel to it. It's stout and seems pretty well made. It's a little thick and heavy for a concealed carry gun, but I know there's ways around that. 

(Stay tuned, one of my videos will be a holster review)

Overall, I really like the way this gun looks and feels. It's got a hammer spur (which I like personally) and a nice, clean trigger pull. Double action it has a 6lb or 8lb trigger pull, I don't remember which. But single action, it's only a 2lb trigger pull since the trigger isn't trying to cock the hammer as you're pulling it.

I'm really excited to get this gun out on the range and demo it for you guys!

The Ammo I'll be using is: 

Handgun Line 158gr lead round nose
Muzzle Velocity: 902fps
Muzzle Energy: 284 ft-lbs 

Winchester 150gr lead round nose
Muzzle Velocity: 845fps
Muzzle Energy: 238 ft-lbs

CCI 38spcl/357mag #9 Shotshell rounds
Muzzle Velocity: 1,000fps

I'm looking forward to seeing you all out on the range for this video. I hope you enjoy it!

In the mean time, have a great week, and stay safe!

God bless, 
Idaho Rifleman

Affiliate Marketing

Since I started my YouTubing adventures, I've been trying to bring the best content I can to the channel with my own money. I do not have sponsorships or paid promotions or any other form of monetization. Recently, I discovered something new called affiliate marketing. Essentially I can work with brands to promote their products and bring traffic to their sites by affiliate links. In so doing, I receive a small percentage of commission. I have started linking with brands that I know and trust. Many are brands that I use every day.  I'm not asking or pushing you to buy products just to support the channel. But I am asking you to review the brands I've partnered with and if you are planning to buy from one of these brands, I just ask that you consider going to their site by clicking on my link so that I can receive the commission. It won't cost you anything extra, and you'll be supporting the channel with a purchase that you were going to make anyway.  Her

9mm vs 9x18 vs 380 Ballistics Test!

Image
Hey everybody! In this video I did a ballistic comparison of the 9mm, the 9x18 Makarov, and the .380 Auto. Now for those who don't know, 9mm is typically 9x19mm. That's pretty standard, but you can see 9x20mm and even 9x21mm in some cases.  Now 9x18 Makarov is obviously just that 9x18mm. It's a Russian pistol and submachine gun cartridge developed in the 20th century for Eastern Bloc use.  But what I bet you may not have known, is that .380 Auto is actually 9x17mm. That's right, 9mm lite. So for this video, I compared the three different 9mm variants to see just how much difference there is.  The Guns:  I performed these tests with 3 different guns. Unfortunately they all had different barrel lengths. I'm still very early into building my channel and reputation so I'm not able to get ahold of many options for demo'ing firearms yet.  380 Springfield 911 Barrel: 2.7" Overview:  This is a Micro-1911 style handgun. It is a very comfortable gun t

Hunting Ballistics: 300AAC Blackout

Image
Ok, so it's been a minute. I'm trying to catch up the blog here. This video was made with a Smith and Wesson MP15 Sport Lower with a 300 Blackout Upper. We used a 135gr 300 Blackout round into 10% clear ballistic gel at 50 yards to determine if this caliber makes for a decent hunting round.  The Gun: The rifle was very comfortable overall. The recoil is pretty minimal and easy to handle. The upgrades that had been made to the different components of the rifle made it very comfortable to use during this demo.  The scope was a Nikon Buck Master and held true during the test. It has a very clear glass and very vivid picture. It's a very nice scope and I was very impressed by it.  One thing I noticed shooting this rifle was that the round is slow. You're shooting a .308 caliber projectile out of a casing that has been cut down from something that was originally meant for an average of a 60gr .223 caliber projectile. So it is moving slow. The Ammo: Hornady Ammo,
