Summary
Mark Koernke discussed firearms maintenance and handling, focusing on 1911 pistols, grip types (particularly Pacmar and pearl handles), and weapon retention in various scenarios. He covered long-range rifle shooting with emphasis on scope selection, magnification levels, and zeroing techniques for distances up to 1000 yards. The show included tangential discussions about General Patton, historical cavalry tactics, and hunting ethics with shotguns and rifles. Multiple product advertisements were interspersed throughout, including ammunition suppliers, survival gear, emergency candles, weight loss tea, precious metals, and freeze-dried food storage.

Make our nation turn god in jail. Her entryman while corrupt servants don't uphold to solemn old slaves. People's wars. For what you'll fight to save? Our great Republican won't keep vanished in the mid- his words were true. Free? But we have ourselves trampled each god-given right. While too afraid to stand fight, he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedom he fought to keep. What would be your answer? Hey Don, there you are, how you doing? Great, how are you? Typically, you know, go to different things that are CenterFireSystems.com. 20 pack and 9 millimeter, 20 round magazine for $99.99. So that's, you know, but they have a number of things in there. But check it out, CenterFireSystems.com. Also the Freestrike guys, it doesn't look like they're done, but setting up their site. But the Freestrike guys, they do have a lot, really, really good things. I've worked with them for a number of years. You can't get a catalog sent to your home. It would be more helpful than their website right now. They don't have everything up and running on there yet. Things that they care. Full line of water packs, survival blankets. You're familiar with the good 90% of your body end, which is a great thing to have in your glove box. If you do it, the wool blanket with that too, you're going to increase the great insulator. Another thing that the Mylar is good for, it's a bright shiny thing. The honcho with that heat ends, so You want to put that in there. It's light, your body, the body temperature, but the heat, from the time you can enough... Treat that extractor real good. So, chamber, I'm going to drop that magazine again, because I got another chick that right here. It goes, that magazine is full again, and the magazine goes in the magazine well, now the magazine. And we can tell everybody it is a weapon. One state, a perimeter, plenty more where that came from. Right. Oh, with that in mind. Mm-hmm. Boy, I do like my 1911, Nancy. I really do like my 1911, you know. I'm for a moment because, well, I got these rubber grips on there. They'd be like Pacmar grips. And, you know, even in... I've carried this out in the rain looking for gear. And even with a pair of gloves on and in the rain, the gun's wet. These plastic or rubberized grips, I like them a lot. It's pretty hard for that gun to slip out of your hand. Yeah. Now, that old guy You know, General Patton, one thing he really wanted was a victory in the war, but the next thing he could have done something about it, he'd have wanted a deep voice. See, in the movies, you hear that it's in all reality, General George Patton there, he had a voice that he really could have done one thing for himself. He did all kinds of things for himself to make himself better, you know. One of the pictures, the guy on a horse, we're uniforming that horse, it's got his legs curled up. There's not even a fence in the picture. All you see is this horse in the air and this rider just perfectly positioned on the horse and it is as if they are a dragon and rider. He's flying through the air on this horse, Nancy. Sometimes you see the picture and then there's no caption. Sometimes you see the picture and it's just an infantry rider. That's Patton before. He was a general. That is Patton when he was like a lieutenant. He loved that ability to get out quicker than he could on his horse. of the mind also, like who was that guy that he was? I'm just trying to, but he was much like that guy. I'm trying to figure out what I have to do on top of my horse. Like, do I hold the reins? Do I have a certain one hand and my handgun in the other or, or would I got to hold the reins or, or your guy, that Custer fellow, he trained his horse to answer two hits and trying to get better. And, and while I'm, I'm, I'm now that's trying to get better even to another soul. Here's what you just gave a horse a soul. Yeah, I did. Well, some of them gotta have a soul. they do. It's not even man and machine. We're going to go here and we're going to go there and we're going to get through this battle because we are a team. It's going to happen. Just watch. That's a pretty neat picture. I don't know if that's the same horse he rode in there. The campers there in Washington were one of us. At any rate, we could go on a little bit, but you see that sidearm in the air there too. Because if you're going down the road, I have to admit that the median sometimes you'd even get a laugh out of you when it stands for no, or I'll never know, don't something like I'll never know, I'll never know. Handing in the fields all day, full of hay, songs like that, and pondering problems of the universe, Benny did. But you know, sitting on that horse that's stuffed with hay, it's pretty hard to keep ahold of that gun in that. Now you might think that, well, I'm not gonna ride a horse into battle, but hey, you know, we're talking about these, that of my 1911 is what And I would invoke another song from, we've talked about that, what's his name, but Warren Zebom as of late. And you know, I've only gotten into Warren in the last month or so, Nancy, but there is a song by Warren, and I could hear on my radio a song about a heroin addict, and he's in a really bad, I mean, if you sing this song for your replay, you're crying, and by the time the fourth or fifth time you're singing this song, it is that impressive, or that much of a, try singing that song four or five times in a row, talking about playing solid way. With that in mind, you guys, that pearl handle, that, gosh, I'm going to get my gun wet. As a side bar, Eddie's listening, and Eddie was with me in Pennsylvania when, and a whole bunch of people got their guns out, but this one guy with his Barrett and his M82, he didn't shoot on Saturday because he didn't want to have to clean his gun because it was raining. And then it cleared up Sunday. He didn't shoot on Saturday because he didn't want to get your gun wet. This is what oil is for. Get your gun wet and then just try to empty the gun. the chamber is empty. Let the slide go back to bed. Your grips are wet. Now with your other hand, just try to take that gun out of your hand. Have you got that Pacmar style grip? Have you got them pearl C handles on your gun? That's the pearl handles gun. Like that. Do you have C handles on your gun? Wood is a little bit better. Wood, I've always had that respect on a metal gun. It gives it that kind of, or the option, it's almost alive. You can say that my gun is, it works, it is an extension, it's almost alive. In fact, I felt like that before. It's almost alive, it can breathe fire for me. Why do you think they called them Dragoon? That would breathe fire. That's where that comes from. And oh, that mix of thought right there was just pretty unique wasn't it? I'm bragging here. But what you want to do is be able to keep hold of that gun, don't you? You're riding that horse, you mechanize and stick it inside the vehicle to take care of a platform window. It's good to keep control of your gun. And with that in mind, you know, basically what those are side of your magazine, well, you could, if you wanted, engineer that gun. Magazine is the handle of the gun. what would happen. Well, that'd be way cool because, you know, that's that many less parts that have to go into the gun. So the gun comes up cheaper, easier to manufacture and whatnot, but kind of hard to hold on to, isn't it? So we go back to that. You want to retain your gun control. Go away. Even, boy, there's a number of revolvers out there. You get Pac-Mart grips, even if they're wet, not an impossibility. We're talking about battle. Almost anything believable or unbelievable could happen. What just happened? What just happened? Connects over to the thought line you show your opponent something you've never seen before and in that moment what just happened Let's take that thought line Guy brings up his gun starts before it's too big you turn it in such a way and now it's in your hand and in that instant He wonders what just happened see how that works came right out. Did you see how that works? Wonder what just happened in that instant now your guns pointed it and that happens a lot easier with pearl handles on it And it happens a little less easy. Oh, you know those magazine covers on the side of that magazine. Well the magazine that magazine will. So with that in mind, you guys, you can get better. Third chief is your life worth and how much would you pay? You could think, I'll just, I'll wrap my hand with silver tape around my gun, no tape my gun for me. It would be ridiculous to say that out loud. Nancy, we were going into the city of Mitchell capital of Vietnam before it was divided and as they moved to the wall, and they'd already killed every sniper, every shim those holes. But when they got there, they discovered that those shooters had climbed into those holes and tied their ankles and then tied their ankles around their thigh. They were there for the duration, so they were there until the end of the battle or the end of their life. That works, and talk them to your hand. You might want to take that gun to your hand if it's gotten that to that. See how it works? It's a real good thing to keep your spear. Well, spears are meant to be thrown, aren't they? Your knife, your gun. It's a real good thing to keep in your hand. That's just a thought line and those eyes, those Takmar-style long way towards... If you're close enough that you're gonna be arguing the handgun, you're... Wow, you're in it. You're in a lot of doo-doo. You're in a dead, deep bucket of it. I did it out loud, but that's it. And you know what I'm telling you, get out the handgun and you're arguing over possession of the handgun. Because if you're that close, as soon as he's got your handgun, he will do his best to dispatch you with your own gun. That would be akin to... Neither one of those sounds like your own gun. That'd be like... I'm well struck out on heroin. My own gun! That's a real bummer, man. In your hand, no matter how close you're upon... We have talked about the draw and shoot. In a... the cowboy kit, under your arm, under your arm, there are a number of ways to carry it there. 45 degrees at a... Well, I was a knife 20 feet away from the guy with the gun. Looking towards the guy with the gun, I just saw this gun with the gun who wants to go bang, bang, bang. I'm aiming and just to not see that guy with the knife get it out and start running towards you. He might before you can do anything about it, he is almost That's a real life on it's a good idea. It's a good bucket Well, when I got out of this I feel the force that's quite a way when we're into a position of it You know if you were him guess what you don't want to go there Because what you have will when it becomes a take that you're the one top, you know They may feel all when it's you're on big and bad and nope, you'll play that you want to play hardball then call them last night a good Rifle I referred him to you if I think oh, it's Tuesday night. Then I sent that off if you could oh my goodness I'm here.

There are people who find particular goofiest of things and are willing to laugh at Earl Handel grips. The degradation or the derogatory Randall and Ethan Ford. Let's get back over to his number for the Fipper Shooters Association was a whole bunch of zeros and then a one. He was 50 caliber shooters. One of the reasons he said he did that was right on the air you guys many years ago he got older he became diabetic and then started back to design. Chicken this is his but quote here, I could not hit a half-sized chicken at 50 yards. When you get to, you don't think you're competitive anymore, you try to move into a different direction. So he started looking at what he was doing and the need, Sergeant over there, he's going to show you before the day is done, you're going to be in that helmet at 60. With the older old rise, maybe that 600 yards, you're going to need some glass. 600 yards, you guys, a little bit above the song. There's a, there's a, he had this one song, Dirty, in the dirt sheet catalog category. You can go in and I'm I had a Simmons, you know, a Simmons for $9 scope. Nine shots on top of my 50 caliber AR-50, 500 or even 600. I'm not taking it off, more on this in a moment. So the manufacturers, you buy nine and put something else on there and shoot it. And then put that little down the, if you're going to remove a scope from a gun and put it in daylight, that daylight scope should go on there. It has a solid base. So you thumb through the base off and lay that and screw it down, there's only one variable there. In mine, you should be within an inch at 100 yards, no question about it. Now that's in 10 inches at 1,000 yards. But that inch at 100, that's a repeatable zero. 1,000 yards, that means you might sail by the helm if they're a repeatable zero at 100 in a repeatable. There's a little bit more of a struggle going on, isn't there? Yeah. A lot of people are looking at these sad two eyes open sites like the ACOG, the Trigicon. Short ranges, those are great, you guys. Just be a little bit harder. The radius of the iron. with a sight that that radius is from your eye or even just your breath gun is shown to the operator. That would be pretty good for a rifle short range of 550, 100 yards. That's short range for a rifle. It would be a 4-mention, 750 caliber, 3x9, that variable. For plenty of people, it works pretty good at 100 yards. If you want to, point of impact at 3, point of impact at 9, and you know the difference of your scope at a given range of use, remember that. You're going to hit that helmet. And finer areas because You know that variable bring a gun to bear on something. Well you're going to need in particular. This has wings. You're going to need some more. I'm there ain't you? Have you ever shot a bird at that target? That's all you're looking at. There's no looking at the backstop behind the target upside down underneath. You don't even see any of the concrete stole over the right target that a thousand yards and that's all you're going to shoot that 50 cap. One way to do it because again, 32 powers really going to show you a particular point. Will not get the winged vehicle, the rotary vehicle walking man, not even for a Walking so we can we've gone from you know, three power from no magnification only illustrates talking about sight here in the brain that word is just for the right job what the gentleman was looking you're sliding a little to danger magnification If you hammer it with 50 this is for your 50 and there's there's people who take that 10 power into this one guy who will double the mouse just 20 power in that field of vision is getting really really narrow all you see is that six you don't have anything around it you look at that and that is five to 5.5 power. I don't generally shoot it or run easier, but fiber vehicle, now you've got lead or field division. See how that works? And we've mentioned a couple that we've mentioned. $49 AR-5, not to mention it had been on and off so many times that had I not taken it off or put it on a thumb screw base, 700 rounds, who knows? You can spend that little Simmons 3x9 scope on top of your later one. I'm pretty certain it's going to last a good long time if you don't take that off of the gun to put a difference. All you do is turn two thumb screws around. You haven't touched it at all, have you? No. So you're not twisting the life of the scope any good. Every time you take your scope into the pit, never bend my front line here along my end, and it'll go back in perfect. It'll go right where it will go. Hey, it's not like you're torquing down the main caps on your 427 Chevy. It's not like you got those main caps down those main caps when you pick them up way like four cones each. But even when you turn on that big black Chevy for the cylinder heads on of an iron iron you guys we're talking about big hunks of iron we're not talking about them dinky little steel rings that would twist so much easier put honing plates on dresses into the block and then they cut and they hone those so that the only heads bolted and I'll take all of that you do the best you can you try to do that repeat again it's only going to get you so close that thumb screws woman is looking for but you guys three by nine should live on almost any 30 caliber the ability to again run it up to 900 yards or beyond bring it back down to edge of your field of view, calculate your lead, squeeze the trigger, and the impact into the... When you talk about a right in the button, a hundred miles an hour, you guys, go for the right job, right application. You start shooting a rifle at moving things. Have you ever shot a shotgun that's rising in the air? It's a state. It comes away the same way if the other bunny deals it. The other bunny is acting the same way as any before. Bring the gun to bear on. Remind you of the quote from Hot, and he answered in a very big behind thing. preservation of life. It's something every time. Two things moving with a shotgun. Shooting them with a shotgun gets you into the general area. So I've shot three or four pellets into them and broke a leg and the dog bring me. I don't go into for the aforementioned reason to a rabbit, just have the rabbit. The same reason I don't shoot at a dog in the field. That bird cut out of the air, you break a wing, he hits the ground out of here. I don't know what just happened. I don't want to be here. Well, if you've ever been in the field and scared up the pheasant, I mean, I've been right on top of them. They're right there. They are so well camouflaged. God does a really good job of that. Standing just looked at it and not even realizing what I was looking at, it up and... Yeah, into the air, yeah. Yeah, but you know, if you've got one that's down trying to find it on the ground... That's what a dog is for. ...it's been working a bunch of things very, very well. Yeah, that's what a dog is for. Yeah. But again, the right tool for the right job. And I hope we've answered some questions here and made you look in the right direction than we are at the top. Yeah.
