TacPack Unboxing!

Image
I'm doing something different this week with additional content. Mrs Rifleman bought me a TacPack subscription for Christmas so I decided to review the December and January boxes for the channel. TacPack is a monthly subscription box containing $90 - $120 worth of tactical gear. The standard box is $49.99 a month with an extra $5 for shipping. The boxes are well put together and each box includes at least one item for an AR-15.  The December Box:  This was a great box.

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.
