Jean-Yves M

Have you ever had your AK's front sight get caught up in a barrier or obstacle? 

Cutler R

Ian - Do you think the AK ever had an open bolt format in it's conceptual stages of development?

Ed M

What would rather carry, the Type 38 or Type 99 Arisaka?

Molly

What makes the M1 Garand so good?

Jacob H

Karl - What firearms do you recommend for someone looking to get into cowboy firearms?

Brandon A

Have you ever experiened any issues or stoppages at a match due to enviroment?

Aaron-James P

Do you have any plans to mud test the M27 IAR?

Nick R

This will get buried, but is there any central place to find where you post every new video? Facebook, youtube, full30, etc?

Ian W

Why aren't there straight pull sniper rifles?

Nicholas S

Is there any reason to use anything other than 9mm for pistols? That goes for competition and defense.  

Cody B

Court ruled in favor of a man posting data to 3D print firearms online.

Phillip F

How did you co-witness your red dot on the Hudson H9?

Petr F

Why isn't the ZH-29 style of front magazine catch used in more weapons?

Carl

Can you to the best of your knowledge explain the history of the armsen OEG and similar operating sights? 

John G

Hey guys! What is the best piece of firearms advice you’ve ever received? Thanks for all the great content!

Michael J

I would like to know your thoughts on the AR10?

Matthew C

Repeat: Can we see a WWSD mud test?

Jacob S

Why do we continue to see non-aperture iron sights on combat rifles after the P14? 

Charles S

What do you guys think about the rapid decline of the popularity of the 40 S&W?  

Matt M

Karl, Ian- have either of you played with a Walther P99/PPQM1? 

Jordan M

Best rifles that aren't an AR15?

Brian I

What are your thoughts on hanguards with integrated bipods as far as weight and utlility vs complexity and practicality?

Dean D

New to Patrion and haven’t watched all of the Q&As so forgive me if this has been asked and answered. What is your take on the grip pod?

David C

Did you ever get in touch with Franklin armory and if so when are we gonna see some reformation run and gun?

MattC10/63

Karl you’ve stated that you’d take a modern lever gun in .357 MAG, why .357 MAG instead of other revolver calibers like .44MAG or .500 S&W?  

threelock

How much influence do you think you are having on modern multi-gun competition?

Ethan S

Do binary triggers have any use in 2-gun?

Matt T

Would you guys still like to check out an Ohio Ordnance Works Heavy counter assault rifle? If so let me know and we can schedule it. 

Daivd W

Please discuss weight and balance as part of getting a rifle "just right" to make most goldilocks happy for good handling in diverse situations. 

Reece

With your alternative history lever gun project, doesn’t the lack of training for the average Calvary troop on the frontier negate a lot of the advantages of the combined arms concept. In that the troopers can’t effectively employ it? 

Gori the all powerful

Do either of you see any utility in the more modern versions of the m60? 

William T

Now that you have broken GWACS what would you substitute for the lower now that it’s going to be some time before they redo the molds. I was thinking a Brownells retro Lower with an A1 stock. 

Mitchell C

For your WWSD builds, you were both limited 14.5 with a pinned flash hider for the shortest legal(non-sbr) barrel length you could go. If those legal limitations did not exist, would you have gone for a shorter barrel, making the gun lighter and more maneuverable?

Pandy

For your WWKD: You mentioned in hard as hell 2 gun that the ammo selection is pretty crap. I would agree, quality 5.45 is pretty hard to get in the United States. However, have you considered looking into getting an AK in 5.56 as part of it's evolution? The action and system of the AK-74 platform is left untouched, but you get the advantage of quality ammo. Your thoughts on the system and evolution?

Antti R

Have either of you, fine gentlemen, handled or fired a double stacked .45 acp 1911 styled firearm (such as "legendary" para-ordnance p-14), and what are your oppinion of them.

Glen W

What strategies have you employed to mitigate extreme handguard temperatures when competing in the AZ sun?  

Andrew D

Karl- Have you determined the cause of the malfunctions you had with your H9 at Hard as Hell 2 Gun?

Daniel

Any news on doing Tiger Valley again?

Michael H

Will there be a desert brutality 2019? 

Mike

At what point does a rifle stop being practical and become a "gamer gun"?

SpaceCowboyfromNJ

In today's world, do you think that videos of action shooting sports (2 gun, 3 gun, IDPA, SASS, etc...) are probably most effective tools for getting new people interested in firearms?

Sam A.

I'm new here, dumb question: where was the August Q&A solicitation? I can't see it in my feed but I do see the old July one (yes, I have the Q&A tier).

MattC10/63

I’m pretty sure they are playing catch up with the back log of questions, because they answered my question from July.

Sam A.

All right, thanks.

Grayson Taylor

For the double stack .45 question I had the same search myself a few years ago and ended up going with a Jericho. It has the same grip size as the 9mm guns and is one of the best handling guns I have. I looked at a CZ97 but the grip was just too beefy, and the Jericho is the most mechanically accurate pistol I own which can be a problem with the 97. If you are limited to 10 round mags it's a great choice, or at least they were at that point (mine is almost 10 years old at this point). This is coming from a person who couldn't wait to rid themselves of a Para Ordnance.

Bruce Brodnax

Thank you for that 1st-hand account. In historical terms, your testimonial is what's called a "primary source!" ;-)

Bruce Brodnax

Saw that "... an AK..." answer to "What would a modern M1 look like?" question coming! I guess that shows I've been paying attention in FW & IRtv class? ;-)

Bruce Brodnax

WRT straight pull rifles: my understanding as to why they don't really speed anything up is they're all lacking in primary extraction, ergo require more muscle to cycle the action, which obviates their theoretical speed benefits.

Bruce Brodnax

Karl: you are wrong! Binary triggers *do* have a purpose on this Earth, & that purpose is to burn thru ammo fa$ter. They don't have a _valid_ purpose, but they do have a "purpose"... ;-)

Bruce Brodnax

Re: Reece's question about "What if lever gun project" -- lack of training impacts the effective use of a heavier-recoiling cartridge like the 45-70 more than it would a lighter one. [Hence the relative popularity of the carbine 45-55-405 load over the official 45-70-500 rifle load at the time.]

Bruce Brodnax

Hopefully GWACS will do a redesign so it will have a separate pistol grip when they come back, so that those of us behind the Granola Curtain [or reside in other ban states] can make "featureless" builds & get one...

Bruce Brodnax

Watching shooting sports is like watching fencing: you have to know what you're watching before you can derive any enjoyment from it. Watching swimming is kind of the middle ground between these and watching the sort of popular team sports [basketball, football, etc] that dominate the sports tv experience, because watching swimming competitions it's still easy to see who is obviously winning, but if you know what you're watching you can see details that help determine that outcome. The mainstream sports require little if any awareness of the details to be easy to follow & enjoy. If you're into that sort of thing... ;-)

SpaceCowboyfromNJ

See I kind of disagree with that. Fencing could be quite interesting to watch it all depends on it's presentation. I think the same when it comes to firearms too. They touched on one of the main issues when they mentioned they have been doing it long enough to know what to focus on to make their two gun videos interesting to watch.

SpaceCowboyfromNJ

I think that is the major issue facing videos of action shooting matches, but it's also a very easily fixable issue for people that set out to do so especially with modern technology. With cheep cameras that are good being propositioned before the match to capture multiple angles it becomes a lot more interesting to watch even if you have no clue what's going on. The trick is such recordings need to be preplaned/set up but once done so I think it would be more effective in at least slightly interested in firearms due to the reasons they mentioned to being hooked and wanting to pursue firearm interests

CB

While hearing your disdain for Para Ordinance double stack 1911's, I was reminded of the wonderful excuses I heard from guys shooting STI or similar 2011's... "I want to stay in Major power division so I'll still shoot my 2011." "My handloads have hard 'military primers' so I need to upgrade my hammer spring." "My comp needs to be tuned, I'm not getting enough gas." "My slide needs some milling to avoid the hangup on my optics mount." "gotta change my batteries (stage 3 of the match)" "gotta clean the mags every stage." "These target hollow points i got from [insert Texas 'veteran owned' t-shirt company here] are giving me hell with the new feed ramp geometry i had done." And the most scary... "oh shit i thought my [race] holster was locked" after dropping his loaded gun on the ground. I shot the match with zero malfunctions with a stock Glock 19. Why pay the exorbitant prices for an STI or the like when you have to sink another 2k into the "modifications"?

TexasPatriot59

I tend to agree with SCFNJ on the idea of presentation being key. Though that would generally require a much greater effort in the preparation and production of video segments, it would help bolster the ability for novice viewers and enthusiasts alike to enjoy the event. It’s great watching Ian and Karl do their thing on the simple single hand-held camera, but it’d be so much cooler to actually see target impacts, than to rely on the officiants yelling “Hit!”. Think about a simplified version of Top Shot as the concept. That might be too much of a leap without substantial funding, but I think the idea could evolve over time.

Vercingetorix

Thanks for answering my question about the IAR. I don't question the reliability of the AR platform in its DI guise, but I'm curious if the addition of a gas piston introduces a potential point of failure that should be considered in the overall evaluation of the firearm. Again, thanks for answering the question, and I can't wait until I'm able to say Carl cleaned out pic rails just to satisfy my curiosity.

James Mabe

Ian and Carl Why does everyone go with a muzzle device on their pistol instead of a ported. I've been recently looking at getting a new pistol for competition with an RMR cut for the holo sun. While looking the option came up for a ported extended barrel and I thought a ported barrel with a muzzle device seems a little overkill. Just wanted to know why you all decided to go with a muzzle device instead of a ported handgun keep up the good work.

CuriousExplorer

Thanks for sharing. I have a lot personal items in my wallet and know now have to eliminate or leave at home before TSA screening.

Douglas Eugene Reisinger II

Disregarding price per round, and competition rules, would you ever consider using a five-seven for two gun competition? Does the round have enough ballistic energy to spin the spinner that Ian loves so much? It just seems that something that shoots comparatively flat, and holds 20 by default seems like a nice advantage.

Thomas Achilles

So, when driving the spinner you really want momentum (ideally ricocheting straight back too, from the theoretical viewpoint). Lighter, faster bullets, with lots of powder, carry plenty of energy, but very little momentum (why for example, a 45acp should spin the spinner faster than a 40sw) If you’re still reading, the reason is momentum=mass•velocity, but kinetic energy=0.5•mass•velocity•velocity Meaning, twice the velocity and half the weight - the same momentum/impact on spinner, but has twice the energy (useful for expanding projectiles for example) Edit: While I’m here, energy is very closely related to powder charge, so using the previous example of lighter faster projectile with the same momentum, you now have twice the energy, and have used approximately twice the powder This is one of the reasons open shooters or “gamers” use light projectiles going quick, they have enough momentum, AND more powder, and you need lots of powder to operate a compensator appropriately
