DocMedic Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Has anyone seen this? seems to be a pretty cool spin off. I like the history behind each weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I just watched it. It's good enough that I have set it to record for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooterready Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I watched it today. Not bad. If I'm not shooting. I like to watch someone else shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. B Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I thought it was decent. I think I will record it for a few shows at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 It was decent. The shoot-off was like a chunk of swiss cheese though. You could almost see they were a tad embarassed about what they were doing. Gary James is a great guy and quite the historian, but a shooter on a level with Seeklander...no way. Mike is a very good instructor as well and I felt like they wasted his talent with the role he was in. Colby was pretty amusing and showed some personality. I think I like it better than Top Shot, but there was nothing really new as I have shot all of the weapons they had. I'd give it a C, primarily because it could have been SO much better.

agalindo Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I was surprised that Colby is a pretty good shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I was surprised that Colby is a pretty good shot. I wondered about that when watching the Top Shot show. When I saw this, I figured that he either had to be fairly good or they were going to be shooting fish in a barrel. No way would they put him out there otherwise. Now, if it were Mike Rowe - that would be interesting. That man has no shame and will try anything once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-So-Mad Matt Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 It looks like they actually listened to all of us gun nuts and gave us "more mechanics, more history, and a whole lot more shooting," as their promo says. I'm sure we can find things to complain about though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydiver Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Just skimming to see what the Tivo picked up last night. Apparently Chris Reed and Jay Lim shooting shotguns last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMedic Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Benelli M4 for 3gun... hmmm And did they really just show a Super Nova, when they were explaining the NOVA Edited March 2, 2012 by DocMedic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I caught that too. I don't know anyone who shoots an M4 in 3G. It's not due to cost either. Salient and Benny guns cost another grand. It was funny. My wife asked me which one of the three guns I liked best. I picked the Nova for it's sheer versatility. A 24" Nova can be inexpensively deployed for hunting, competition, clays and home defense. It's the most reliable and the easiest to load. The poll showed the M4 as the favorite.

DyNo! Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 As Kelly Neal might say, I hope all of my competitors shoot ghost ring sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 OK, maybe it's me but testing shotguns by shooting slugs at concrete blocks says almost nothing about the shotgun but a fair amount about slugs. In all honesty they had two shot barrel shotguns that were good for CQB and a bird gun. End. No more comparison needed. This was little more than a one hour Benelli commercial.

shopgun Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 It was Kindergarten shotgun basics 101. Pretty nice product placement for Benelli, though. I did have to laugh when they talked about the "soft shooting" Vinci and the video showed them rocked back on there heels shooting trap loads.

Skydiver Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Did you see the teaser for future episodes? It looks like they may actually show some USPSA shooters shooting while moving... Edited March 3, 2012 by Skydiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I also noticed the blooper where they showed the clips of the military breaching doors with the M4. The last thing the soldier did before the clip cut out was rack the slide. Can you rack the slide on an M4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopgun Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Could M4 stand for Mossberg 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 My god what a giggly little fest that show was last night! Just about tossed dinner. Watched it all though. Funny how guys will always try to show off to impress women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgary Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I was amazed to hear that S&W is the "first gun company to be able to make a 1911 work in 9mm". I guess the Springfields, Kimbers and STIs.... what, didn't work? or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maksim Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I was amazed to hear that S&W is the "first gun company to be able to make a 1911 work in 9mm". I guess the Springfields, Kimbers and STIs.... what, didn't work? or something? 1st to make it work reliably without major mag issues or gun issues requiring it to be sent back every 6 months? yes. I have an m&p pro 1911 in 9mm with external extractor... 10 or 15k rounds through it, without one issue with Wilson 10 round mags. Can't say the same for my friends shooting kimbers and springfields. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
