 hey there friends thanks for checking in today we have another is this pistol still relevant video it's been about a month since i've done this i love this series people share their thoughts of some of the handguns that i feature and they answer the question is it still relevant and i've gotten opinions from all types of people the handgun world is always twisting turning and changing and people's idea of what is relevant varies from person to person and that's the part i really enjoy i featured the raven arms mp 25 last time and this is an interesting handgun here it used to be very popular people would pocket carry these it was originally produced in 1970 it has a two and a half inch barrel it's cheaply made it was cheaply priced people would pick these up at their local hardware store it wasn't a big deal it has a hill kick magazine release with magsacary six rounds of 25 acp and back in the day it was much more popular than it is today it wasn't as expensive as it is today and very seldom do you see handguns chambered in 25 acp the round itself has kind of gone away right i don't think it's relevant at all but is the handgun still relevant that was what was featured and the feedback that i got was you know it it worked well for its day but not anymore even at a low price it's really not relevant because the cost of the ammo and the breakdown some people said they had great luck with those other people say they break down or placement parts are all over the place but many people said you need replacement parts because it breaks it really doesn't work too well a throwaway gun essentially and you know it had its time and i agree with the majority of the thoughts but what i'm featuring today is a bit different it's a newer handgun it is another clock pattern handgun and what are we talking about this is the ermax defense x-fire now this was released about six months ago it did hit the internet and people were excited to see it it is different than your standard clock pattern handgun because it has an aluminum frame it takes clock bags and it is optic ready now they offer a couple different plates in the case they have true glow fiber optic sights it has slide cuts it it looks really nice they actually offer another set of grips and it's budget priced with the aluminum frame i don't know if i mentioned that but between $340 and $400 is what you can pick up the ermax defense x-fire foreign that is budget priced given everything that it offers it also has a 1913 rail for lights but the trigger is a bit heavy you're looking at about six and a half pound trigger pull and one of the things i've noticed is that it pinches my finger when when i fire the gun now i don't have a lot of rounds through this but and it's not mine but when i did shoot it i did just so so with it and honestly i would need more practice with it i'm not putting that on the pistol itself the x-fire i'm not blaming the x-fire because you have to put your time and your ammo through guns to get proficient with it so i struggled with it a bit but it offers a lot it is another clock pattern that people are either familiar with or sick of but it's budget priced and it offers a lot they're all optic ready comes with a couple different plates that's a nice touch three mags which is another thing that a lot of people want with their handguns they say give me at least two ermax offers three is this pistol still relevant in today's world you hardly hear of them anymore there's nobody i know that says hey i love my ermax defense x-fire i i never hear of it do you hear of it do you own one did you go out and get one when they are first introduced they are made in turkey and they are budget priced and people either love them or never even heard of them i would be surprised if many people say they never even heard of this handgun but that is what i'm featuring today it's called the ermax defense x-fire it made its way on the web and then it kind of went away and you haven't heard much about it i thought it was okay i feel there are other clock pattern handguns that fit my shooting style a little better but what i really want to know is if you think the ermax defense x-fire is still relevant even though it's just six or seven months old if you like videos like this please subscribe and share i always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
