- Today on Gun Talk we've found a deserving individual,
Joseph, a real gun guy.
We're gonna take him out to the range
and give him some training, have some fun
but there's a surprise.
While he's gone, we're sneaking a gun safe into his house
along with some other goodies.
Stay tuned, it's gonna be a lot of fun.
(upbeat music)
- Alright, we're on the way to go pick up Joe.
He has no idea what's going on today.
He thinks we're just gonna go out and have a day
at the range with Chris Reno, which is a great thing.
He doesn't know what's gonna be going on back at his house.
This is gonna be a fun day.
- My husband Joseph, he's a great guy.
He works on helicopters.
He did one tour in Iraq which was in 2004
and we actually met whenever he got back.
We started having our family and he's a great dad.
Joseph is definitely a good guy, for sure.
He collects them, he will sell them, buy, trade,
gun shows, you name it.
He'll go and see his friends at the gun stores
just to see what they have.
I don't think he has any idea as of what's going on.
He's just knowing that he's gonna have so much fun
out on the range.
He's gonna be very surprised.
(upbeat music)
- We're out at the range, we're waiting on Joseph.
He's on his way, Tom's bringing him.
He thinks he's just coming out here for a little bit
of training and some fun but there's gonna be so much more
at the end.
I just can't wait to see his face
when we give him the big reveal.
(upbeat music)
- Good morning, Tom.
- Good to see you. - [Chris] Pleasure.
- Let me introduce you, Joseph, Chris Reno.
- Good morning, Chris.
- Joseph, nice to meet you.
I got everything set up down here.
We're ready to go.
We're gonna do some pistol training today,
we're gonna do some carbine training
and then we're gonna do some long range stuff
with a bolt action gun.
- [Joseph] That sounds great.
- Alright, let's do this.
Alright, go ahead and pick up that gun.
So from here what I'm gonna have you do is take
this hand and I'm gonna have you hitchhike this thumb
and make a big space for this hand to now fit in there.
Now there's your thumb against the takedown lever.
Can you feel that?
- Yes, I can.
- That's called kinesthetic awareness,
that's a touch sensation, so when I pick up a gun
and I run my thumb along that frame,
and it's not that I want to stay away from the slide,
it's just that I want to have somewhere for my thumb
because what happens is, if you relax your hands to here,
then your wrist start getting loose and your wrists break,
but if I bring my hands up here and lock in,
now I've set the wrist, so recoil makes it to the shoulders.
I'd like to load up six rounds, I want to watch
where they go, I'm gonna see if you can control the gun,
and then I'll maybe try something different with you, okay?
- Okay.
- Alright.
(gun fires)
That was awesome.
Now let me show you what this grip is good for.
Multiple rounds on target fast.
(gun fires)
Now I'd say combat accuracy, that's perfect.
Let's have some fun and shoot some ballistic gelatin.
Awesome.
Now that looks cool.
This is DoubleTap Defense,
you got a conceal carry permit, right?
- Yes, I do.
- So you take seriously what you carry.
- Right.
- Well, what's cool about this is it's 165 grain equalizer
so it's a jacketed hollow point but you know
what the equalizer means?
- No I do not.
- It means there's two projectiles.
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna load two of these in here
and you're gonna shoot one on paper so we can see
what's going on - [Joseph] Okay.
and then you're gonna shoot one into the ballistic gel
and then we'll go take a look at it.
- Alright.
- You can make this shot, I know you can.
Alright, put one on that cardboard for me
and then we'll move over and we'll put one on the gel.
(gun fires)
Awesome, now move over to the gel, same way.
(gun fires)
- Whoa!
Dead center hit, that's top-shot shooting.
Let's go look at it.
Look at this, you got probably the front of your projectile
and then there's your back end of the secondary projectile,
it's like a wadcutter hole.
Dead center shot here, and look at the wound channel
that this created through the ballistic gelatin.
Looks like the back end of the bullet.
- [Joseph] Right.
- Still in there and the front just kept on going.
- Pass all the way through.
- Well we weren't really far away, we're only
at about 15 feet here, you know, 20 feet.
That is a devastating round, so DoubleTap equalizer
jacketed hollow point.
That's a lot of mass. - [Joseph] Pretty impressive.
(laughs)
- [Voiceover] As Chris and Joseph are having fun
at the range, the crew is starting to install the safe
back at the house.
(country music)
- Mike, thanks for coming. - [Mike] Good morning.
- Yes sir, how are you this morning?
- I'm great, I'm great.
- Excellent.
- [Ryan] So what do we got for them today?
- [Mike] We have actually got Liberty's bestselling safe,
the Fatboy 64, it's the black texture
and it's got a lot of security.
It's got an hour and 15 minute fire rating to it,
so it's one of the best safes that Liberty has.
- [Ryan] It's a big safe, right?
- [Mike] It is, it is a big safe, it will hold up
to 64 guns, yes.
- [Ryan] 64 guns, well we'll see how long it takes him
to fill that one up.
- [Mike] Not a problem.
- But you guys will actually handle the whole delivery.
I imagine people are kind of worried about big heavy safes
and trying to get them in their house and stuff.
- [Mike] We do, we handle all of the delivery side of it.
We have very specialized dollies that we use
to get across any kind of flooring surface
whether it be wood, tile, carpet, all that kind of stuff
so we can get it pretty much through any house.
- [Ryan] Hey Jennifer, come on out here, take a look.
Look at this.
- Oh my God.
Is that gonna fit in the house?
Look how big, look!
(laughs)
- [Voiceover] Joseph is getting some great training
from Chris at the range but what he doesn't know
is there's a lot of activity going on back at his house.
