Welcome to another episode of the Live Fire Media Show, episode number 38. This episode is brought to you by nothing.
We're on our own here.
Nothing.
Your hosts are the always entertaining, sometimes FUD, Hunter of Range Hot. I'm very nervous. Right. I'm Kawaka47, a.k.a. Dave from High Point. Let's get into it. Wow. Yeah. What's up, buddy? Hey, man. What's happening? I don't know. A little, but nothing all at the same time. Getting ready for SHOT Show. I was assuming you are, too. Yes, correct. I mean...
I was, I was half wanting to like, I don't know, not wanting or not care, but I was half looking to see if there was like a bunch of pre-shot show stuff like flowing on social media. And I wasn't seeing a whole lot that was super like, wow. Oh my gosh. I have to go see that. And there's Eva.
Hey Eva.
Hi honey. How you doing? Good. You look cute. Go to bed. No, you're not climbing my lap. You're not climbing my lap right now. No.
Not really, because I got to put some laundry away.

Chapter 2: What are the hosts' initial thoughts on SHOT Show preparations?
I wonder where she gets that from. Not from me, man. Because her daddy is so laid back. Not from me. Oh, I'm very laid back. What are you talking about? To all those people listening that are believing him, he's full of shits of Christmas turkey.
Wow. Alrighty. First thing I want to hit on. A friend of mine, Nick from We Like Shooting and Bus Bill Systems, he texted me this week and said, dude, what are you guys talking about? I can't see it. And I was like, what? He goes, it's part of the show. You're talking about some kind of like
thing and he's like i can't even see it and i was kind of like what do you what dude he goes it's an audio show and i was like oh fuck when we went off talking about the camo rap the rolls of camo wrap. Oh shit. We never really described what the hell it was because you and I talked prior, like on the phone. Well, I said it was cohesive, you know, medical bandages.
Well, I guess we didn't describe it very much more. So maybe I don't know. Nick kind of missed. It was like, yeah, uh, more description. I was like, well, I, I try to like do that, but sometimes it's so easy to miss and you're pulling up a screen share and you're looking about it and talking about it. And then we don't know what the hell it is. So our bad Nick will do better.
I'll mail you a check for your admissions back, sir. That was my fault.
He's one of three or four whole listeners we have. Another one I put in last minute. I don't know if you looked at that show note thing I sent you or not.
I glanced at it.
I did a last minute update today. A thing hit me was obviously we're in 2026, so zero dollar tax stamps are a thing, which you don't have any personally to you, do you, or all yours through your SOT?
Everything is SOT.

Chapter 3: What insights do the hosts share about pre-SHOT Show content?
Right. You put all these restrictions on it. So I still, in my opinion, which, you know, here we are. I feel like opinions, man.
That's all we are.
Everybody's got one. Mine stinks. Yeah. I think that if you want to have a can, then it's going to be well-performing. Now, this is excluding rimfire. It's going to perform well. It's going to suppress enough to worth half. Then you're still going to be into the can for more money than what a $200 disposable can. Rimfire, oh. Meow. Did you see that cat jump off my head? Yes.
That's why I said meow. He just jumped right off my head like, hey, that's fine. He went flying through, meow. He's a foster. He was a foster. It was.
Now he's going to be my shock face.
He's going to the vet tomorrow. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. He's a good boy. But, uh, yeah, I think that that's, that's how I see it, man.
Well, here's an angle that kind of maybe go down this thought process. Um, AKs, a lot of AKs don't have concentric bores. So for suppressors, a lot of times people are looking at mountain that, um, dead air has the shit. What are they calling it now?
forget but they have their ak cam like it's ak specific so obviously it's 30 cal hole but it's obviously a little bigger than normal 30 cal can because they're giving you leeway for the non-con non-concentric bore so you don't get a baffle strike but that can i finally got to play with one um last spring at moons out buddy was running one i didn't realize that thing is heavy as shit like it's a heavy duty can so
If tax stamps are $0 and you can get a good can for $300, $400, $500, like a stainless steel, it's going to hold up. It suppresses decently enough. Is that worth throwing on maybe something that's non-concentric like an AK? And maybe you get an end cap strike and at that point go, eh, so what? Keep going?

Chapter 4: How do the hosts evaluate the importance of training and gear?
That's the Inland Monocore you've got, right? Yeah. Do you know what the MSRP is going to be on those? No, off the top of my head, no. I think if you were, I like the can. I want to say like in the five range. So, you know, I feel like that would be a can because I told you I shot it side by side with my B&T. And now to my ears, if there was any difference, Dave, it was negligible. Right.
Because it is longer than the B&T, but it's not as girthy. Oh, I thought you said the BNT was longer. No, no, no. The BNT is shorter, but it's girthier. And I really like to say girthier. I'm going to throw that in a few more times. Tony, if you're listening, you heard that. Girthier. Oh, yeah. We'll fucking do that. Oh, my God. So I think that would be a prime.
If you're like, okay, I'm going to buy a $1,000 can printed titanium for my running gun. But I want two or three cans that I could put on my home defense rifle that I'm going to train with occasionally. And I think that Inland would be a really good option for someone looking for a good can.
that is inexpensive, but heavier than what I would want for a rifle that I would go train three or four days with.
Right. I agree with that. And see, what's funny is you just made my mind think another direction too. With the New England cans in particular, between the three different models or series, I don't know how you would call it, the ICANN, the ICANN II, and the Monocorps, All three of them are built exactly the same regardless of the caliber. So you buy a 9mm, a .30 cal, .223, or a .45.
They're all built exactly the same. As far as I know, Ron doesn't have any barrel restrictions. So if you want to run an SBR .308, you could technically run the 9mm can. Okay. So that makes me wonder that, okay. So why wouldn't I then maybe look at running one of Ron's cans, nine mil variants on my, even my five, five, six AK that's non-concentric bore.
Because it's, it's, it's three, five, five or nine millimeter bullets, three, five, five.
I don't know what the hell the diameter for a suppressor is, but it's obviously bigger than the 308 because it's nine millimeters, three, five, five, but it's bigger than that for nine millimeter itself. So that gives me technically more. A lot. Right. More play for that round for non-concentric bore. I might dabble with that.
That's not a bad idea. If they're going to be 5-5 and change, I've already had it apart. I've been fucking with it. I've shot it. I haven't beaten the hell out of it yet, but I've got a hot And it seems to be very well built. It suppresses well enough to where I shot the 11.5-inch rifle without ears.

Chapter 5: What classic pistols are mentioned in the discussion?
And then that thing is cool. It's dope. Have you ever shot one? Did you shoot mine? I have not shot yours. I have not. Dave, let me tell you something different. This is a classic 90s pistol. Or like a Sig 226. That's a classic. No care for it.
Okay. I don't hate it. I would never buy one. I had a P320. That's totally different. That's not a 226. I don't even talk about it. I know, but hold on. Fuck. But I reviewed it for SIG. Right. And I think I bought it for like $200. That's cool. But I tried my best. Now, mine never gives trouble. It never did anything weird. I'm not going to jump to that assumption. But, you know, I shot it.
And as a matter of fact, I had a two-day class at SIG Academy. And... SIG Academy was putting on a two-day class up here at High Speed Gear in North Carolina. I remember when you did that. And they're like, we're providing you with P320s. And I was like, hey, can I just bring mine? They're like, that's fine. I shot a fucking two-day class with it, along with the MCX. And I did well. Yeah, MCX.
I'm just saying, I do love my MCX.
So... But I wound up selling it for like 600 bucks because I tried and I tried and I just couldn't like it. So here's the thing, man. I am not a smart man, okay? So I realize, I know that my brain's limitations are great. So I'm going to have a couple platforms that I'm going to gravitate toward and be proficient with. Now, fundamentals are fundamentals. I understand that.
But, you know, you get really good at shooting a 1911. I mean, you get really good at shooting a 1911.

Chapter 6: How do the speakers feel about grip safeties?
And then you pick up that Smith & Wesson. Your fundamentals are there, but you're not going to have that level of proficiency.
I think it's going to be marginally different.
But it will be different. So, you know, I mean, here's the thing, man. That's fine. That's why I asked, man. I like 1911s and I like fucking ARs. You know, and I like lever guns. And single actions. And single actions. You know, I like, I like old shit. You know, I like old shit. I like the new old shit. You know, those fucking new Marlins from Ruger. No, old shit's cool. You know, I got four.
I like that better than a 92 FS. A hundred percent. I think you really would. No, I mean, I'm telling you, I do. And I've never shot it. But I can look at it and be like, yeah, that's way gooder. Way gooder. Way gooder. So, you know, I just, I focus on specific guns. And that way, I try to hone my proficiency on a few platforms.
No, I get what you're saying. But like you said too, it all comes down to your fundamentals are your fundamentals. Trigger control is trigger control is trigger control. I don't give a shit what you've got. Sure. But I think at times being way more comfortable, like I went to the CZ, the PO nine for several years was my go-to gun and getting used to that double action.
You know, when I decock it and holster, you use that double action.
that made everything else easier than now i used to be a snobby dipshit because i had 19 of my first handgun then i went striker fired so you had that same trigger all the time every time which to me was more akin to a 1911 but then it was like oh this double action single action oh that double action pulls terrible oh it sucks so bad no that was me being retarded and being a pussy you get used to that shit it's fine then you can shoot anything proficiently
I don't disagree with you, but I carry a 1911 or a revolver, and so that's generally what I go to. That's completely different triggers.
That's completely different. A 1911 versus a revolver? Yeah, but you thumb cock a revolver. I'm talking about the double action of double actions.

Chapter 7: What are the benefits of using a bore scope?
But let me ask you this. What rocket surgeon put the fucking safety in the back of the slide? Come on, man.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of that. Same with the Beretta 92s that are up on the slide. I've never been a fan of that. It's kind of uncomfortable to rack it, to grab it, honestly, because you're always hitting those safety nubs.
I was talking to an instructor.
That's also why I bought that single-action Beretta, because it's back down the frame, like a 1911, where it should be.
I was talking to an instructor at a class I took years ago, 10 years ago, probably, and... He taught to load from slide lock with overhand or slingshot. Right. He didn't like thumbing down the slide release, which I was like – Hey, man, I hear you. Is the slide release a slide stop? Yes. According to John Browning, it's a slide release. There you go. In the patent.
But John Browning designed that gun to be done either or. Right. So, you know, his whole thing was this is gross motor skill. Yeah, I get that. This is fine motor skill. My argument was sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control, breath control was fine motor skill. So why can't you learn one more? Right. But then the argument come up. Okay.
So you're going to train, you know, over the top or slingshot, you know, and then, and then I remember in the Marine Corps, people that would do that, they would inadvertently hit that damn safety.

Chapter 8: What new shooting drills are introduced?
So I'd go home, click, no bang. Cause it's old safe. Right. So, you know, which I always load from slide release. So it's not really a big deal, but people that do the overhand or slingshot methodology of reloading a fresh mag from five lot,
And it makes me wonder, maybe that's why Beretta has the decock only, because you can drop it down, but it immediately springs back up. So in the case you're talking about, you inadvertently kick it down as you rack it back. Right. You immediately bounce back up. Yeah, the hair might be forward. But you can still make it work. You can still go bang because it'd be in double action.
Maybe that's why. I don't know. Yeah, I get that. I don't give a shit one way or the other. Like, I've... Slide lock, slide release, slingshot it, whatever the hell works. Just get the damn thing gun back into action. I don't care. Yeah. No, I mean, you do what's comfortable for you, but right. I mean, there's things are more proficient, obviously, and faster. Like slide, slide release is faster.
Oh, hell yeah. Cause when you load the mag, holy shit, your thumb is like there.
Right.
And you know, when I argued with him about it, you know, he said it was never designed to be a slide release. And I said, Hey man, look right here. Do you see, it's got a ledge with serrations on it. You know, why in the fuck would they put a ledge with serrations on it if it won't meet for your thumb?
Well, it's like silencer versus suppressor. The Maxim silencer. It's called a fucking silencer.
Who gives a shit, people? But technically, the correct term is silencer. That's what I'm saying. Suppressor or silencer, you know. I don't care, but I say silencer because, A, that's what H.P. Maxim called it. When you invent something, you get to fucking name it. Right, right. And then when you fill out your ATM forms, I'm not drinking. Automated television.
Yeah, when you go to the television, when you fill out your ATM forms to get a silencer, you better put fucking silencer on there.
