    Check out his video where he defends his practice of wearing a chest mounted pistol pointing directly to the left.
    I would stand to his left as long as he didn't call me dude or tell me to watch his vids. I'm not a total fan but he is actually addressing the chest carry issue in the video that you linked. Are you being a hall monitor?

      I like NutnFancy because he combines info with entertainment. It's kinda like watching UK Topgear instead of Motor Trend. Sure, I can watch an Edmund's video review on cars and get all the basic car info I needed when shopping for a particular car, but then watching Topgear would be more entertaining to see what they do with that car.

        I did watch the video and didn't find it convincing. It basically came down to "I can point the muzzle anywhere I want as long as my finger is off the trigger because I'm an experienced operator". I'm sure there are some (mostly military) contexts where that kind of rig might be warranted. But running around in the desert isn't one of them. Also you'll notice his cheap holster has buckles dangling around it when it's open, which could get in the way when he goes to holster it. Bottom line, I think that safety rule #2 (muzzle in a safe direction) is critically important and I don't think that makes me a safety nazi.

        Anyways, whatever. To each his own.


        All in good fun.

          I like him, he's a fine ambassador for 2nd amendment rights.
          He encourages everyone to research/learn and challenges the hard left by being a stand up guy and a gun enthusiast. What's not to like?

            I like some of his videos. Yeah he is long winded and has a funny lip thing going on when he talks but thats his thing. When I buy something I tend to research all angles and opinions before I buy it. I dont value the gun editors opinions that much anymore now that we have blogs and youtube filled with real world opinions. I value a regular guys field experience with things more so than an editor that has corporate sponsors to satisfy. I watch what I like and I click past what I dont like.

            On that note I never understood why Nutnfancy sometimes does reviews on guns he doesnt own and never shot? I saw a few where he seemed to have a borrowed gun that he never even shot yet was making a 30 minute video review on it?

            As mentioned he is just one of thousands so I take it with a grain of salt.

                im kind of eeh eeh on him. I like some things, hate other things. I like some of his videos, some others im like WTF?!??!...

                I will give him credit for this...after watching his 3 part review on the mini 14 and the run n gun, it swayed me to want to buy it a lot more... definitely helped me a lot on deciding. good info.

                But yea he his a bit of a mall ninja as others have said above, his run n guns do look fun though.

                I kinda get the vibe that hes a wanna be grunt...eeh...

                All the GET TACTICAL!!! TACTICAL!!! OMG gotta get TACTICAL bro... kinda gets annoying...

                he is entertaining at times too, like that one run n gun with the fat guy in the tacti-KILT... LOL /facepalm

                im 50/50 ish on him... I tend watch IraqVeteran8888 a lot more cuz im a reloader and I like the whole gunsmithing deal...

                    Hickok45 is a lot better and he's one hell of a marksmen. That guy Nut's is okay when it comes to the book knowledge stuff which you can probably look it up yourself, but I can't say the same about his skill level or credentials for duing some of the stuff he does. Besides is this guy even legit with what he claims about himself? The whole BN commander/Special Forces/LE thing? Any one know?

                          He's ok.

                          Like him, watch him.

                          Don't like him, don't watch him.

                          I do like Hickock better, because I'm old like him

                          And I like his name.

                            LMAO, I KNEW I wasn't the only one that thought it was hella-weird the way he says "civilian sheepdogs." I ain't going to be anyone's "sheepdog," the sheep can go F'end for themselves and die for being the sheeple they are.

                              I personally like watching his videos. Some of them can be a bit long winded, but overall I think he has a lot of great reviews and information.

It is what it is, good stuff, IMHO.

                                Agreed! JEALOUSY. Only hatn' because they can't go out and do what he's able to do in the Nanny State. Hatn' because they never thought of the idea first. The guy has made good vids and he does point out very good pionts on gear reviews to tactics etc
