  2. KSgunguy I loved your channels on guns. However because today madmen going killing rage. I love the 2amendment and have guns and rilfes. Here is no possible selling or reviewing these assault rilfes made only mass killing humans especially our kids. Since the last 3 mass killing in less than 8 days. I don’t believe the 2 amendment is meant for these gun of killing children and humans so as results I will cancel my subscription. I rather keep our kids save than have these assault rilfes made for killing legal.
    Bye

  4. When it comes to being innovative in the AR variants, cmmg is the standard for quality and performance. In my opinion anyway and if anybody cares to hear me out… it's a bit long but it's from my real world experience. The short and sweet. They are the shadow 2 of the AR world. Out of the box you're hard pressed to beat it.

    Yes you can get another option that does the same, maybe as reliable for less, BUT in my experience…. and those that don't have a bias will understand… they are ALMOST like the glock of their world. They make everything in every caliber that functions all the same. Unlike glock though it's not a cookie cutter design but built proper with durability in mind.

    In the last 4 years I have absolutely tried to wear out their mutant/mk47 and for hunting alone the accuracy even with steel cased ammo on occasion is a pleasure for the caliber. Not to mention the times I break out the commie round to do it better than an AR fanboi. Its replaced my workhorse AKs as I love the round and the performance you get in comparison is wonderful. Keep surplus mags away unless modified and you're good to go. AR feed ramps and AK mag feeding is different. Pmags or drum mags work best. Nobody knows it's awesome though so keep it a secret. The rock river option 👎 didn't run reliable FOR ME. New PSA ks47 much better than the gen 1. M+M m10x anither lovely bastard child.

    I've got an mk3 I have used for longer range hunting the last 4/5 years. I don't expect 1000y accuracy for a battle rifle/dmr. It's got it! It can't be beat until you build one. Again the shadow 2 comes to mind and until I experience something better you're not beating them from factory.

  7. Well almost 1600 for a CMMG product seems about on par for the company. I know they caught my attention when they released the Mutant their AR-47 ahead of everyone else. Still would love to get one of those but sadly Cash is a factor.

  10. Does it Glock, Bro? LOL
    I know, just *KIDDING*. Great review as usual! I love these PDWs designed for Glock mags. I'm lacking a good pdw to go with my Glock mags. If I could afford it, I'd like the new Maxim with the smallest brace on it or a B&T. But, I hear nothing but good stuff on the Banshee for half the price. I just like small stocks on PDWs. Too bad about the brace on the CZ Micro, cuz that's nice and short, and looks like a cheap B&T.

  11. Awesome..Banshee 300 Series Review! I own a Banshee 200 Series MKGS, 9mm. Burnt Bronze Color Pistol, and Love It. I bought a Banshee 200 Series Model during CMMG'S 10% Off Father's Day Promotion. The Banshee 200 Model has an 8 inch Barrel, SV Muzzle Brake, and a RML7 M-Lok Hand Guard. It's definitely a Quality Built Short Barreled AR Pistol, and it has a CMMG Lifetime Guarantee. The Burnt Bronze Color Closely Matches my Glock 19x Pistol . Also, my Glock17, 19, 24, and 33 Round Mags fit the Banshee perfectly and function flawlessly. I would Highly Recommend Purchasing a Firearm from CMMG.

  14. Great video KS, nice that you brought out the CZ Micro K for comparison. Can you also check out the Sig MPX Copperhead when you have a chance. It's a great little shooter in the AR style that really isn't being talked about now. It's also in the same price range as CMMG Banshee 300.

  15. I'm still not sold on the PCCs. Rifle calibers are far more deadly. From what I understand 9mm penetrates through objects better than 5.56, and even 300 blackout rounds that are designed not to over penetrate.The only advantage I see is the noise. But in a video the War Poet stated he would rather have the blast of the 5.56 to intimidate the bad guys. The PCCs are a lot of fun to shoot, and I'm warming up to the idea of getting one. Great review KS.

  20. I love mine but it does not like the SGM 33rd mags from Korea. Maybe i just got a bad batch of those mags but my PC9 doesn't like them either. I usually have at least one feed failure per mag with those. Eats anything you put in factory glock mags.

  26. I forgot they changed the designation for the banshees so I thought you were reviewing the 300 blackout version. But that didn’t make sense with the magazine I you were using. My brain was so confused, then I realized that you never reviewed the 9mm version like the other cool kids did.

    Long story short, thank you for the review. I had my eyes on this for awhile. But I don’t know if I can fit my hands around a pistol that could use the same magazines. Can you suggest a thin handgun that uses Glock mags?

  36. Honest Outlaw just posted his video on the FX-9 which seems to be less than half the cost of the Banshee but you can definitely see the difference from fit, finish, and look. I know there’s the radial blowback delay system exclusive to CMMG but I wonder how much difference it makes and whether it really helps justify the pricing.

  38. Very nice. I like that a lot. I’m starting to put together a 9mm AR PCC to build with my daughter. Originally I was thinking 7 1/2” barrel but then I considered the benefit of having her first build be a 16” Barrel (keeping her hands back from muzzle better). Still a long list of parts to accumulate.

  39. I am really interested in this gun, I am not a fan of direct blowback, so as far as PCC's go there is not a ton out there, mp5, ump, mpx, cmmg, kriss vextor(I think) and the new kid on the block lwrc SMG. 45. I also do not want a 9mm, I want a .45 or 10mm. Kinda thinking of splurging on the LWRC SMG 45, any thoughts would be appreciated, do you think the lwrc offers more or less value then the banshee, or maybe a kriss vector?? I know they are both cheaper then the lwrc, but there is the "I just kinda want it, because I think its COOL" factor. BUT the kriss is got that going too.
