 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in and welcome to another video in my series called one handgun one shotgun one rifle The handgun I'm featuring today is a para USA expert goes about 10 years old para expert now this one's a little bit different it has a 25 pound recoil spring and Ed Brown barrel and that allows it to shoot not just 45 ACP, but 45 super and 450 SMC I've shot the 45 super before that's equivalent to a 45 ACP plus P plus P in my opinion So it does offer versatility. It's got a fiber optic front sight two-dot rear sight that's sweet already check clear single action trigger rubber grips and a good-looking gun stainless steel the Recoil spring is 25 pounds. The average 1911 is approximately 16 pounds. So it's a it's a bit heavier But it is manageable. I've got regular 45 ACP here. These are hollow points arms core But let's take a few shots and we'll check it out. All right. So what happened there was I Engaged the thumb safety with shooting I had my thumb here and upon the recoil I Engaged it and you may have seen me pull the trigger without it firing. That's what's happening But it is a nice handgun very happy with it. I'm glad I took it in on a trade and I Have no regrets, but now let's check out that shotgun my last one hand and one shotgun rifle review I was helped out by my good friend Greg He provided the rifle and the shotgun well He said I can help you out again with this one and so shout out to him again for help and keep this series going I love this series and I do enjoy Getting various firearms to use in it, but this is a Mossberg 500 youth Bantam the Bantam model is a 20 gauge 22 inch vent rib barrel It is a pump action shotgun two beads right there It's not being used at the moment because Greg has an Optic it also has an aftermarket polymer stock. This would normally come in wood and a gold trigger there tells me it's a little bit older But it's a good-looking shotgun 20 gauge, you know 20 gauge would get the job done and many different applications home defense hunting you name it, but it's a bad youth Bantam, which means It's a good training tool for younger kids primarily the youth hence Its name, but it is pretty pretty nice looking shotgun So let's go ahead and take a few shots. I have one chambered right now the thumb safety is engaged It will accept three inch loads and let's see if Greg has this optic sight it is And I believe that's it Yep All right So there it is Mossberg 500 youth Bantam in 20 gauge a nice-looking shotgun I Usually don't put optics on my shotgun, but I have to say that was pretty nice. This is sighted in very well Thanks again Greg, but now let's get to that rifle the rifle that I'm featuring today is a Ruger mini 30 I have the mini 14. This is a mini 30 chamber in 762 by 39 It is ammo finicky. You can see I have brass loads in there right now It does not like steel case loads at all. So, you know, you have to keep that in mind. This has an aftermarket Hoke stock a rubber hoax stock and it feels great, but it is heavy aftermarket birds cage flash hider and an Accustrut Barrel stabilizer right there. That's also aftermarket. I had a problem with the optic yesterday the Vortex Crossfire 2 went completely blurry on me after three or four shots So I'm going to shoot low and into the berm you can see here that Greg also has a homemade cheek rise and you do have to rock the mags in But the Ruger minis go for over a grand in today's market So I'm gonna go ahead and take a few shots. Once again, I'm gonna shoot low on the berm not using these Optic at all the thumb safety is right there. You just move it forward and you are off safe Let me go ahead and take a few shots here And that's it. That was a 10 round magazine fires great with those brass loads. It just doesn't like the Steelcase ammo, but it felt great like no recoil at all with this heavy stock barrel stabilizer It's always a nice not not really a downside to it, especially with these pencil thin barrels there, but the Ruger mini 30 Getting it done with brass loads the optic once again had an issue, but thankfully that'll get taken care of no problem and Shot pretty smooth My series called one handgun one shotgun one rifle if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
