JACOB GREY NOX9 - FIRST IMPRESSIONS

The Jacob Grey Nox 9 has been one of the most anticipated comped 2011-style pistols—and today we finally put it through real range testing. In this first impressions and performance-focused review, I run the Nox 9 through Bill Drills, reloads, doubles, 25-yard accuracy, 100-yard steel, and the Modern Samurai Project Black Belt Standard. I also test multiple recoil spring weights (7lb, 8lb, and 9lb) to find the sweet spot for recoil impulse, return-to-zero, and cycling speed. This video isn’t about specs on paper—it’s about how the gun actually shoots. 🔫 What’s Covered in This Video: Jacob Grey Nox 9 first impressions Ported + comped recoil performance 7lb vs 8lb vs 9lb recoil spring testing Bill Drills and speed shooting Reload performance & mag release issues Grip texture, ergonomics, and comfort Black Belt Standard (Modern Samurai Project) Honest pros, cons, and early criticisms If you enjoy honest pistol reviews, performance shooting, and real standards-based testing, make sure to like, comment, and subscribe so you don’t miss future comparisons. 0:00 – Intro & Overview 1:00 – First Shots & Initial Feel 3:45 – Recoil Spring Testing Begins 7:00 – Bill Drills (7lb / 8lb / 9lb) 14:00 – Grip & Ergonomics Discussion 18:30 – Accuracy & Distance Shooting 20:30 – Reloads & Mag Release Issues 24:00 – Black Belt Standard 26:30 – Final Thoughts & Critique
