 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at a Gearsight Regard MCBX 9mm handgun that is a Beretta copy. Now Gearsight is making a name for themselves. You're starting to hear about them, you read about them, a lot of people are saying you get a lot of gun for the money. They make a lot of copies from more popular handguns and it is made in Turkey and people rave about them for the most part. They say it shoots great, it looks great, it performs just as well. Well I cannot verify that, I will say that this gives a overall profile. Like you see Beretta all throughout, you got the slide that Beretta calls the Brigadier slide, you have the flat dark earth with the M9A3. This also comes in a blue model and so does the Beretta M9A3. But overall it's a pretty nice looking package with aluminum frame. The MSRP on this is 588. I picked this up locally from a gentleman, okay no gun store or anything, I paid 400 even. Now he said he hasn't shot it, there are no signs of anywhere and I knew that because this tag was on the trigger guard. People typically would remove that if they go to the range but it does come with a lock, a bore brush and this hard case. But it is imported by EAA, EAA lost Tanfolio but they picked up Gearson and a lot of people are taking notice. So it's getting more popular, you know it's less expensive, will it shoot as well? I doubt it but perhaps it will, I don't know, I haven't taken it to the range yet. This is my first Gearson and I think 400 is a fair price, you really can't get hurt too much. What I like about it is 18 round mags. Now my Beretta 92x performance which I love comes with 15 round mags with that long base plate there. This will work just fine in the Beretta 92x performance and the 15 round mag will work in the Gearson regard, I already checked that out. So that's a sure sign that it's a copy. They stepped away from Beretta a bit with the G10 grips. I think this gray and black splash look to it is okay. I would like to see maybe a little more black in it to really set off the flat dark earth but really no complaints. G10 grips is pretty nice. One of the things I noticed right away is that double action trigger pull is really heavy. Single action you're looking at right around four and a half pounds. Let me go ahead and drop the mag but the double action pull is really heavy. I think I would have trouble staying on target with you know if I had to shoot in double action like just staying on target as you're pulling that. It makes a double action revolver seem minimal in my opinion. The 92x performance, that double action is really nice. Most people are shooting single action. Let's not kid ourselves here. You're looking at a four and a half pound trigger pull with a reset right there. So no complaints with that single action. Still has the slide mounted thumb safety decocker. Okay performs just like the M9 models. 5.2 inch threaded barrel, full pick rail there, aluminum frame, 18 round mags. Overall similar look. If we look at the back of the slide with the 92x performance you'll see the same markings there the same functions and then the brigadier slide right there. Okay it does have three dot drift adjustable sights and it feels pretty good. Now it does not have any checkering of any sort but it does have a slight finger ledges I guess or really not finger grooves. It feels pretty good in the hand. It does have some vertical serrations in the back nothing like the 92x performance that is much more heavily textured. The M9A3 has that lanyard loop right there and this does as well. Okay and even if we look at the internals we will see that it is very similar. You push that button in right there and move this down and off comes the slide. Sort of a beefy rails there. All right starting to see that more and more. It is seracoded throughout. Here we have an uncaptured recoil spring. You have to take the thread cap off to take out the barrel. I don't know how necessary this is but it is something that you have to do but what I wanted to show you is right here this get in there there it is that thing will stick on you at times and you end up having to play with it to get it in its proper position but that's bred all day long with this gear son regard and there's the look at the slide. Very similar look and somewhat of a similar feel. You look at it and you look at the flat dark earth and you'll see that the M9A3 if you take a close look at that you will see similarities but you will also see differences and when you see those differences makes you wonder what's going on there and then just cock it back and that will put that back into the same position that it's supposed to be in and then of course you have the thread cap here. Let's get it on the scale. We'll wrap this thing up the gear sign regard and say well you know you can get this over a bretta well let's put it this way you could save money by getting this over a bretta I don't know if you're gonna get the same quality like I said I just got it but it seems pretty cool. Two pounds three and a quarter ounce just ounces we're looking at 35 and an eighth here are 18 rounds 42 and three quarters let's go ahead and put a chambered round 43 and then in a quarter all right if we check out this 92x performance let's put the mag in there to be fair we will see that's weighing in at 56 that steel frame is awesome I'm a fan of the M9's I took the M9A3 out and shot the lights out with it I'm hoping to copy that gear sign copied the bretta I want to copy the bretta shooting impressions and if I could do that I think it'll be a purchase well made if not I'm moving on you know that's what I do if I love it I keep it if I don't love it it's gone and we'll see how it does like I have to believe it's going to be just fine but I'm taking it to the range and we'll see how the gear sign regard MCBX does that that's sort of a mouthful MCBX trying to figure out what that stands for I got no indication at all from the EAA site but here it is if you like the controls of the brettas it's on here if you like the breakdown and everything else it's on here you like g10 grips there it is 18 round mags no complaints there they only give you one but an MSRP of 588 pick it up somewhere between 4 and 450 and you're doing okay if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
