NOIR | Episode 9: LaSorte's Last Stand
About this video
Colion presents Season 1 Part 2 of his show ‘Noir,’ announcing format changes including a 14-stage athletic shooting competition between himself and co-host Darren Lort to determine who is the better ‘athletic shooter.’ He includes a comedic segment where Lort struggles with the shift from traditional tactical shooting to the show’s fast-paced competitive style, reviews the HK VP9 pistol, and showcases Stage 1 of the competition where he beats Lort by 3 seconds.
Key takeaways
- Colion introduces the concept of ‘athletic shooting’ — a competitive shooting style focused on speed, movement, and fun rather than traditional tactical self-defense drills
- Colion reviews the HK VP9, praising what he describes as its ergonomics, fast and deliberate trigger, manageable recoil, and overall shootability, though he notes its lower capacity as a minor drawback
- Colion demonstrates the first stage of a 14-stage shooting competition using multiple firearms at varying distances, emphasizing speed and accuracy in a dynamic course format
