Summary
Mark Koernke discussed firearms, ammunition availability, and weapon handling techniques during this morning broadcast. The show featured extensive coverage of handgun options including High Point pistols, 1911s, and Glocks, with emphasis on reliability and affordability in a constrained market. Callers and Mark explored ammunition suppliers like Aimsurplus.com, stripper clip usage for various rifles, and proper firearm operation and maintenance. The latter portion of the show shifted to weapon discipline, malfunction clearing procedures, and a hierarchical approach to self-defense tools ranging from firearms to edged weapons.

As the National Rifle Association says, it's not guns that kill people, it's maneuvers. Shout down our men. You are the son. Intelligence Report. Me and Telegu's report marked and on every morning at 6am Pacific time, Monday through Friday. I want the people to know that they still have two out of three branches of the government working for them and that ain't bad. I've not yet begun, did I? A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said. We fought a revolution. secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free, the freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent, although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to this. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken us. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and see we farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit So their children will be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children, both sons of the Republic, arise? Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republican each God given right and pray to God as I awoke he'd vanished in the midst for once he came His words were true free, but we have ourselves to blame For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right We only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight He stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms He fought to keep what would be your answer? He called out from the grave. Ultra Net Technologies both east and west of the Mississippi along with Southern and Central Alaska. We're on the Hallmark network on the east coast from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida covering the whole stretch with a few spots. There's like, you know, certain areas we don't worry about covering yet, but we do. And then across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed all the way then up to Nebraska, a big chunk of it there. There's a lot of between then the third of the highway with all of our 97.5. FM you guys are listening I know we are and then over the Mississippi raw on the other side that's right the Golden Spike Project over here pretty cool I can listen from which to Ridge that's basement for the internet when the internet is shut down but the bad guys do it they'll be cutting off their nose and they look like ram and manual pretty beautiful day today I think we have done with us here yes we do and that means that it dawn what day is it offer equal opportunity coercive force against the aggressor. In this case, with the 1911 and as we've been talking about in the last hour here, with the options for handguns being reduced dramatically, only in that inexpensive but well-made handguns, few and far between nowadays guys, isn't anything even just expensive handgun available. There was a comment that, of course, we brought that up on the air too, and seeing where they're demanding just about the high point pistol that they are for any of the other commercial guns out there from overseas as far as you know like the going to look at it at $70 or $80 difference now that's either a compliment to the high point which you know it is the greed factor going on because the high points have been typically about half the price of any of the other commercial knockoff guns like the Glock, Sigs or whatever you know at least half in fact again the ratio is almost two and a half originally was when the high points came out. Since then, since High Point is an American pistol made in Ohio, we have three factories running, full shifts gun, they're working non-stop. Each factory does a different weapon. One of them, I thought they all did them the same, we would be doing them in the same factory and just doing variations in the barrel spring assemblies. But it turns out that they actually have a separate plant for certain weapons, the light rifles as opposed to the .45s. that are done by high points. There is, there are different operations involved and they are quite extensive. They have a lifetime guarantee. They're not the fanciest pistol on the planet, but they get the job done. And they've been around for a little while now and they've basically been able to stick to it and stay in business, which is most important in this day and age. The fact that they're still here should tell you something. I don't know, Don, if they've been bought up by this consortium of Chinese that were grabbing all the other American businesses. In fact, they say that, oh, this is company out of Europe. Well, yeah, it's Orchium and they're the purchasing company is partially out of Europe. They've been bought up and have been nixed to include, oh by the way, Remington and other brands and they're using marketing ploys to manipulate the sales of the weapons, etc. But I don't think High Point has actually been gobbled up. So it in reality, unlike Remington and unlike Flintchester and other companies, and by the way, including several other ammunition and AR-15 companies, High Point, as far as I know, is still a truly independent America. It's pretty high in my book that they're able to stay independent. The only thing about the High Point pistols is that they take High Point mags. Now that shouldn't surprise anybody, but remember that means that the inexpensive 45 government mags don't fit in the 45 High Point. There are 9 millimeter and 3 Nique magazines to that So if you're going to buy mags, you got to buy them from them or you got to buy company knockoffs from after production. Typically work. I don't see any major problems with the aftermarket mags even. Not fancy, just nothing to write home about. It's a Chevy. You know what? Hey, you may not write home, but you can drive home there. That's right. It'll get you there in one piece. It's a whole mission here, guys. If you're not black 40,000 rounds a year in competition, the high point will get the job done. If you can find a decent price, 45, Well, there you go. And you know, in 1911, as we've been talking about for years, it's purely a matter now of what you catch, just catch a can. I hate to say it, but that is a fact of life. You know, they're trying to spread the guns out wherever they are, but no inventory of anything, especially in the handgun category. And revolvers, man, decent revolver or finding a decent price on a revolver, no better than a light middle-framed military automatic guys, as in hell to find anything for real. you're gonna have to shop in five watch those yard sale if you can get any of the dog and coon shows that they have around the country you'll find people that are you know selling weapons probably your best bet i'll be that'll be the direction ahead if all of those possible people that the yeah i was gonna say they'll probably be liberty arms were person-to-person purchases no big deal no no complications no imperial no imperial in tango anyway uh... couple of things here down that nineteen eleven again uh... pretty reliable people uh... never let you down has it? Oh I love this car. You figure out what it's to try to go faster. They run a different combination you know to some of the people make this. Who do we have for a car? Awesome knockoff. I don't remember the price it was over a year. They've done what Ruger used to do and I don't know that Ruger I mean I used to be when I dealt with Ruger I used to run a shop years ago. Step apart they said you a whole envelope pull. Well, high points the same way. They're very reliable. They are very, they're quick to respond to any problem with their weapons. And if it's a part that they can shoot to you in the mail, you can replace. They will do that in a heartbeat. And my last quick question, because I hear the music. You had, I caught the tell-in of an ad for 76254 with Clips. I didn't catch what company that was. Aimsurplus.com. It's Polish 1950s and it's Aimsurplus. They have five-shot super clips of 7.62x54. And they've got 10 round SKS Super Clips, you go brass case, copper jacket, bullet, sheet of needle. So they've got both out right now. They've got a good price on both of them too by the way. Well thank you and I'll give the Michael Effect some help. Thank you, I'll bring it up again when we come back for the break. Alright, thank you. God bless, appreciate that. And again, there we go, another heavy high point owner and some old pointer there getting old in the factory to be thanked. Don, we're going to break it. Yes, we are. You guys here come our sponsors and all the contact information you need to purchase what they got. But, you know, it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. And on that note, we're going to break it. I need to close the clock and I got a pop right over there. We'll be right back. I don't need to tell you that the world is headed down the wrong path. A path to serfdom and slavery. but I doubt that you fully understand how bad it might get for you. Our once wonderful government has been hijacked by gutless globalists committed to a world government where everything is under their control. Every person will be cataloged, tracked, stamped, and microchipped and they fully expect most to go quietly into this slaughterhouse like a mindless cow. They have captured all the key positions of power and control. Most of what people think and do. The walking dead. We will have a revolution at some point. Even they know this. But only those of us that are fully prepared to protect and feed ourselves and our families long term ever see the end of this evil time. Right now, most every bite of food you take is vile, manipulated, crossbred, inbred, unnatural, and lacks any nutrition. The answer is to start growing your own healthy heirloom vegetable garden. I built the first bulk heirloom seed company, exclusively for patriots like you. Now a lot of copycats have followed me. Pretenders and slick marketing companies. But nobody on earth can match my offer to you. 50 varieties of heirloom vegetables. Over 10,000 nutritious seeds that will produce an unlimited supply of food for you and your family. Plant some now, eat the rest in my time capsule for the days of great trouble. I'm Big John Lipscomb. And my solution to overcoming the new world order is... survivalistseed.com It's food insurance against tyranny. I ain't giving up. I hope you don't either. Talk about that. How to get our web- Yes, as a matter of fact, aims.com. Need to remind everybody about, uh, aimsurplus.com. And, in a second, we're- 2x39 for a- 14 ammunition, 10 round SKS stripper clips available. And, uh... Pretty good price on that, it looks like two right now. Let's see if we can find that there for you real. Oh, Mark's a-lookin' and they've-oh, there's the SKS. Oh, we sold out companies, guys, by mentioning things. I'll remind you that it's possible. Play not, though. Let's see, we've got some rims. Still have, yes, pulleys are on-chargers. Actually, per can, here we go, it's per can, $89.95. And that's on the steels. They come both ways. You can find it with brass, you will find them steel that are chromed. and this case for flat black paint probably blew that typical for the euro eastern euro they used a lot of blowing and you know the process anyway uh... per can but they could look at features hundred forty seven uh... all pull by metal jacket bullet lacquered steel case superdam primer pack for steel moist make up charge for three hundred rounds for sealed pink can center-round to play hinge latched wooden creek eighty nine ninety five $8,995. You know read that $90. What do I do that $90 for you know 300 rounds? That's pretty cool, and that's on the stripper clips and that's sealed the phone number if you want to get hold of a 888 5252 that's 888. We'll still got some really good price on the 545 by 39 and they have down also some 8 millimeter Mauser in Strah with five rounds stripper a little more expensive $99.95 you know read that $100 a can of 300 and forty rounds but that's on the Mauser stripper clips again that's an advantage that's a speed loader guys if you have a Mauser or if you have for instance the Luzerman in eight millimeter the Hakim rifle or if you have the FN 49 in eight millimeter Mauser well with the Hakim and the FN 49 it takes two stripper clips stripper clip out when the guide got knocked right through the top of the weapon built right into the weapon and it's designed for standard K98 Mauser stripper clips because right next to the FN49s there might be bolt-action K98 still in service. There was no sense in reinventing the wheel. K98, five-round stripper with a Moise and Nagat, five-round stripper but those are two different types of strippers because those are two different types of weapon. Both are available so as long as you can get the ammunition that way even you got to pay a little bit more it's worth only looking at a moments activity to load the firearm. uh... with the s castor off-explanatory that's still the fastest best way to load the weapon and she didn't area one thing the reason people sometimes have a difficult time with that they're not used to being aggressive with a fire to be careful with our tools with the careful with the not the combat weapon charging handle down when you pull that slide back to the forty five views very gingerly and carefully let it slide forward you make sure it doesn't tap itself to hard all-know-in-fact You can't do when it comes to operating the slide, you are not going to be as violent as the operation that takes place when you pull the trigger on a pole. You pull that slide like you like your own or a fud. You know, plenty of times, you get holding, pulling it forward from pushing the frame forward and then pulling it, letting the frame come back, pulling the frame back and letting the slide back and letting the slide forward. You know, that motion forward carries that last few thousands of an inch to close the slide, bring everything up. Everything's lined and the bullet is too battery, the slide is too battery. More on that when we come back you guys. We are at the bottom of the hour. Oh I don't have to think hard you guys, themicroeffect.com. You know, the Micro Effect broadcast network. Here's the echo often, but you guys will be right back. Give us about three minutes and here come all of our sponsors. Be right back.

Yeah, that's right. Themicroeffect.com and you've got weapons Wednesday, the intelligent, you have that benchmark there. But you know, machines are meant to operate inside limitations. You know, water can get into a 1911 and it'll still bring even some good yuck with it. Go ahead, pull the trigger on that. Just point it at the roof and pull the trigger. You can't do that, that's not good because I walked over and I think they really don't know and try to, this is how to do it. Hold it the other way and, hold it the other way and, gee. your gun in such a way that it caught the brass and now my gun doesn't work but so many times that the gun's a slide and then eases the slide forward you know he's that elmer fuck if you have to do it didn't bark and turn to the nightstand but now I think he can handle that 19 a less figure you'll make it a little bit easier on him so you it sends one downrange it doesn't have a whole lot of or you know particular and plenty of people play with the spring taken care of you know one of the things runs right along the sand you know there used to be an automatic re-party innovative thought That's another example of balancing spring. One of the things... That's why I wanted to go with this. Turn the safe. Because, you know, wow, golly gee. You know, different time to have to put one in the chamber. Talked about different... You know, there's one and you can have one in the chamber of your Glock. And that's again, that's a... Interestingly enough, and I have two, remember guys. A fish where you have adrenaline rush, training, training, and training. These people are supposed to have worked with their weapons extensively. And then when they came under fire, The French system didn't work as well as everybody it has no safety says the Glock has I know I just insulted most Glock owners who were listening. Oh, I'm a Glock guy I know I know we always rib each other we can do that you keep your Glocks we'll keep whatever else we have everybody'll be happy and we'll probably still up with Glocks in our inventory anyway guys don't forget that because they're all over the place I mean come on even the Koreans are making Glock mags now that should tell you something But it's a discipline it's you know, it's a discipline to own a gun isn't it? Yes to figure out how you do it and you know. There's an intentional, what I've said before, a malfunction magazine intentionally built a malfunction and she has to clear the weapon. Everything is instinct. Everything is automatic conditioning and training. Everybody watching this video goes, wow. You can hear everybody on the range is watching it when it happens. It's just like everything clicks. She is right on target. She is thinking. She's focused on the objective. When the malfunction takes place, she does immediate action, clears the weapon. replaces the magazine as needed is pop pop that's the kind of focus that you need to have when you're dealing with a fire and again it can be any weapon or miss was a hundred weapons we've mentioned today actually that each one if you master it and that you are certainly a force to be reckoned with now to what degree you use the weapon like i said you harsh language and get your part but a sharp point stick or or blade will get you a pistol will get you a rifle and that is your goal to get to the best, heaviest weapon you can acquire if you're disarmed but you shouldn't be in that situation however, shouldn't be in reality or two different things you have to switch to the handgun the handgun should not be your primary weapon unless you have another mission separate from the combat arm the handgun should always be something that you master but remember that the reason you went to the handgun is because something happened to your long gun or there was a unique situation that forced you to use the handgun. You know how that works? The rifle is your first primary choice, and then there's a shotgun in between there, guys. You don't have to tell me about that. But the long gun, hand cannon, to your sharp, pointy object, no matter what it is, that can be meat cleaver, that can be battle axe, that can be personal fighting knife, or a sharp stick. And then bludgeon and club are the last choice. And then the worst extreme, harsh language, which will get you nothing. Stop, or I'll shout stop again. get you nothing. So that's the pecking and that's where again at each point you need to be disciplined to be prepared to switch out too. Now we don't train that much with using or switching to edged weapons or those defense weapons like that, but it is something that needs to be incorporated into your thought process. Weapon malfunctions or if it's empty, you're to your last mag. Pock, pock, pock. It's a mayhem situation. As you take that 45 and wrap it up in somebody's head and then you kick him in the head while he's on the ground or crushes. Well guess what? Bop and bop and you realize that's my last Oh, there's one more. Well, you better be prepared either way. Make that path forward with the other free hands, switch even with your primer-edged weapon. And that's the thing, that's a combination to think about. Always think about never releasing a weapon. Relinquisit tool. We got callers. Who do we have? Callership in there. Like I figured, they're not overly close range. The normal moist knives are one of them. Oh, okay. You've done the bottom and it comes up to, like in Vietnam, they call the HUD something you put in. a mag pouch and one of the things in the past, we used to use the M16 and the M14 mag pouch, depending upon era, to conceal a light pistol of speed loaders or if it was a revolver, a couple speed loaders, and actually stitch to the mag pouch. The cool thing is, as I mentioned before, MOLLE gear is a lot, so you can actually conceal the handgun on your rig nicely. You'll have it very serviceable and accessible. What you do is you incorporate a open top holster inside the mag pouch and it can be whatever handgun you choose. In this case a .22 would work just fine. It's a matter of what you've got in economy. That's all there is to it. Any weapon you can imagine has been used. I used to carry a little short barrel revolver and that used to be inside the mag pouch with actually we didn't have speed loaders that we could actually use. That particular gun was a unique odd German piece and I used to carry a string of rounds that were inside the mag pouch stitched in and you know who did it was a woman who was a you know from Vietnam she was a seamstress I stepped together like that in 15 seconds it was like you how do you not stitch your fingers in there you know hold on here you go oh that'll be three dollars wait a minute that only took 15 seconds yes but I knew how to do it you can't do it in 15 seconds you can't even do it 15 minutes shut up I can give you three dollars And that's exactly how it was too. It's like, no, you don't argue. I just watched her fly with, you know, do stuff that I couldn't possibly think to do at the time. She did there and you know, and she did it with a Treadlesinger sewing machine. So that's one of the cool things. Little German revolvers years ago came in at a wave and they were fairly cheap. They were nice little guns. They were over engineered. They really were little engineering marbles. So that's another example there. Little 22 worked just fine. and uh... again it's uh... a matter of cost you don't see the h i you know that's one thing i've been looking for you don't see any of the h and our type single-channel single-action uh... twenty-two like you used to and they're not cheap like these to be if you can find them there's a niche pistol right there used to be very very inexpensive to be a nice shooter nine-shot you know big carousel so if you didn't hit him real hard with the first one will dominate more than three with a very low market that's all the federal board and everybody and change the amount to a little too much barrel price, you want the same exact thing. Over. to be wasted. No weapon is going to be left to rust on the shelf. It's just that simple. In a combat situation, all of your small arms are in short supply. It's all there is to it. It always works. Where it needs to be, they're never where they need to be in good quantities. Marcus we're gonna let you go sir. We are Catholic and jealous.
