Differences in fit, finish, night sights, grips, trigger, and safety are discussed, with the Operator excelling in these areas due to its higher price point. The video suggests the Admiral is a great value for budget-conscious buyers, while the Operator is recommended for those seeking a premium, heirloom-quality firearm.
This video delves into the Llama M87, a high-end competition pistol produced by Gabilondo y Cia. Based on the M82 action and mechanically similar to the Beretta 92, the M87 was designed with popular IPSC competition upgrades as factory features.

Chambered in 9mm Parabellum and 7.65mm Parabellum, the pistol was adopted in a basic form by the Spanish Army. Despite its advanced features, the high price point and the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, which restricted magazine imports, led to its limited commercial success.

This video provides a quick tip on the application of adjustable sights for an Everyday Carry (EDC) pistol. The presenter, Caleb Savant from Brownells Gun Tech, explains why he chose to install LPA adjustable sights on his SIG P226 EDC, deviating from the common advice that fixed sights are better for carry. He highlights that the adjustable sights allowed him to precisely zero his pistol's point of impact with its point of aim, overcoming issues with factory fixed sights. The video also addresses concerns about the robustness of adjustable sights for EDC, stating they hold their settings well and are durable enough for daily carry, even after being used in competition. The presenter also notes that the P226 still fits in his Safariland ALS holster with minor modification.
