Alright, so what do you guys think needs to be in a model specific video clip? I've watched tons of vids on Youtube and such, and lots of the videos I see are junk, some are great quality.

I've tried to cover the disassembly and reassembly of firearms in a well recorded, thorough, and overall useful video, as part of a website I'm making.

I've only gotten to four models so far:

Remington 591
Ruger 96/22
Smith & Wesson 22A-1
Taurus PT92

Here's what I feel is my best one, the PT92 Disassembly:

I'm looking for your critique, as fellow firearms enthusiasts. What did I do right/wrong, what should/shouldn't be in a video like this, overall comments on quality, etc.

<span style="color: #FF0000">Nothing personal, don't hold back. If you think my video is cr@p, tell me, in all seriousness, I don't want to spend lots of time creating things that enthusiasts don't feel is worth watching. These videos take quite a bit of time to put together, and I don't want to make a hobby out of a pointless endeavor.</span>

Very nice. I liked your comments on friction areas that should receive lube. Again, very nice. PAT.
 
Re: Critique this video: Comments/Concerns/Improvement

Good info, good detail, but aggravating to watch.....

- Find a place/room with less echo and/or background noise.

- Slow your hand movement down, be more deliberate with your movement.

- Try not to talk quite so fast.

Remember, this is an instructional presentation. Those most interested are those in need of the info. They need the info likely because they don't have a clue, or at least are unsure what to do......a slower pace trumps needing to pause/rewind.

Nice video. I too had a little problem with the echo, but that's just a minor issue. I would like to see you walk them back through the reassembly of the firearm also.....

Other than that....good job! Very informative & well presented.
