The Mossberg Maverick 88 was the gun I chose to purchase the day I turned 18. I've shot it a lot and never had a malfunction, its standard finish has stood up pretty well, new shooters I'm introducing to guns love it, and it did all that while being incredibly affordable. Perfect entry-level shotgun, I definitely support its inclusion here.

I have an ancient "Westernfield" M500A which is just a Mossberg 500 branded for the old Montgomery Ward store. When I got it it had a slug barrel and a field forend. I had to replace the action bars as they were bent and I got an old Mav 88 barrel that someone let the last 8 inches or so rust. I ordered a corncob fore end, the action bars and a replacement metal safety from Gun Parts corp. I chopped the old Mav barrel down to 18.5 inches (measured on the gun) with a pipe cutter, mounted the internal parts, put the corncob fore end on and refinished the original beat-to-crap wood stock. I think my total cost for the gun came out to less than $200 and it's built exactly the way I want it.

If you look inside the slide on the Security-380 and compare it to the original Security-9, you'll see they went ham on the mill work to reduce weight, far beyond just the cuts you see from the outside. It is noticeably lighter than the 9mm version, but still shoots a bit easier with the Diet-9.

Dude, you are awesome, honest and provide excellent reviews.

As some who has or had half this list I can confirm that the maverick 88 ,the 10 22 , canik tp sf, savage axis and S&w shield are amazing gongs for the price and I haven't had a problem out of a single one of them

I mean, this is SUCH a great video. Great work Outlaw. PACKED with knowledge for novices like me.

As someone who’s first gun was a maverick 88 I agree it’s super fun to shoot and accurate also I have the carry cut, optics cut, threaded barrel version of the dagger compact and it’s also a great carry gun since I’m 19 and can only open carry here in az

Tim, papa from the foothills of the blue ridge mountains in NC wishing you well Again bought a rossi brawler 45colt/ 410 a few months ago. I love the pistol hate the back sight .put a aim point red dot on it but don't like the red dot bouncing around, hard for this older man to hold still. it's well made,strong lockup,fair trigger pull.not shot factory ammunition as I reload all my centerline. it to my understanding has a tampered rifling similar to a gain twist barrel. all loads I cronygraphed and was disappointed at speeds. most loads were 145-199 fps slower than printed data. but not to be out done with 44years reloading knowledge and experience I knew this pistol could handle a lot more chamber pressure than the colt 45 14,000psi. the following test data is for educational purposes only. don't use it because it can cause serious bodly injuries or death to you or bystanders .I'm not responsible if anyone uses this this is my private tests and more to come. my last tests a few days ago I used new starline 45colt brass, cfe pistol powder. 250gr hunter supply lrn-hp bullets. 9.8 gr powder 870 fps, 420 ft/ lb. 10.0 gr powder 964fps,516ft/lb.. 10.2 gr powder 1034 fps,591 ft/lb. 10.6 gr powder 1094 fps ,664 ft/lb . 11.0 gr powder 1132fps,771 ft/ lb. No pressure signs. i might bump it to 1200fps.thats far as I go . I also shoot 45acp lower velocity 750- 800 fps 230 gr lrn reloads. easiest way to shoot 45acp in this single shot 45colt is I went to local harbor freight and bought a box of metric nitrile o rings ,different sizes. I use size 8x2mm and 8.8x1.9 o - rings slid to back of loaded rounds in rim groove. it keeps 45acp from falling down in barrel and hold it in place. action will be slightly tighter to shut but no problems as it compress the o-rings to fit.asfar as election, it spits the emptys out. this is a big plus for me being able to shoot 45colt, 45acp, 410 because of the ammunition situation .I hope this educational information is of value to you. remember I'm not responsible for anyone using this educational purposes information. Papa 😊

Great review and recommendations. I love my 10/22, the Hi-point 4595, and the 9mm S&W M&P Shield (pre-covid for $229). Additional thoughts: The wife loves the Heritage Barkeep w/ interchangeable cylinders. I've seen the SDS Tisas 1911 on sale for about $305 although I payed $333. The NAA 22MC can had on sale for under $300. Although there are better options out there, you won't find a more concealable revolver than the NAA-22MC (except the NAA-22s). Albeit it's only good as a last line of defense with some well placed shots it's still better than a sharp stick.

I've got a Savage 11 that I modified to the 10 with a Boyd's thumbhole stock, got the barrel threaded, added a muzzle break and it shoots .308 like a tack driver! Absolutely love my Savage and it's accuracy outperforms most other budget bolt action rifles.

Dope video and thanks for being very detailed. Really enjoyed the video

Great Video! I had one of the first Tarus series and really had no problems so bought the newer G series and have never had a problem with it. They didn't have extended mags for it at the time but one of my Sig Mags fit it and worked fine. I think the 226. Anyway it probably one of the best values out there. I have had it and fired it for probably 10 years and have never had a malfunction that I can recall and it handles anything I put in it. I like it because it has second shot capabilities and I can practice with it using a laser strike bullet and laser targets. Keep in mind I have had 2 recalls with 2 sigs, my 320 and 365. Also had a recall with my TarusGX4 but is a good value and shoots well. I think the PSA Daggers are great value as well. The CZ is another great value firearm and have replaced my Sig 226 with a CZ P07 with Olight light laser at my bedside. One of my best shooting pistols I own. Forgot about the Hi Point carbine, the first cheap carbine I got and had fun with it but its a mess. But the Extar EP9 and Kelteck Sub 200 are great Values and work well. The Tarus Judge 410/45LC is a great value as well and I keep 45 LC's in it with a crimson trace grip on it. Very dependable. Wow! great time to be a gun buyer with all the affordable choices out there. Thanks for all the reviews. Love your work!!

Great information video, greatly appreciated 👍

Cool list. Not a lot of bad on there. I have a PSA dagger and love it. Their customer service is unheard of too. In my opinion I'd carry that over the shield just for the extra rounds and the glock gen 3 parts interchangeability. But the shield plus is definitely better if you enjoy concealing better. I don't mind printing a little and I intend on keeping my dagger for winter carry and eventually either getting the dagger micro when it releases or maybe a cz p10s or canik mc9 depending on how they look in a year or two.

I love my G2C. Put night sights on it and a custom trigger and stainless rod. Never had a misfire. The extended 17rnd mag works great and you can get 32rnd mags, too.

i waited about 3 months for taurus to have the 17 round back in stock and i love the full sized grip. the only negative is after my first 200 at the range my hand was raw because of the frame right behind the safety smacking into my hand. so i took a sander to it and 600 rounds later i have no problems. the stainless guide rod is a must though but then mine was still under $300 and it is "custom"

​@@ninelives874Why do people want a 30 rd mag for their handgun? How many times are you planning on missing? My G2c has the 12 rd in the mag well with a 15 rd on my belt. If I need anything more, I have my PC carbine with 4 17 rd and on 27 rd mag.

@@kennethcurtis1856 Here’s who thinks they need more than a 20-round magazine: a) Gang bangers fixin’ to do a driveby; b) Paranoid preppers who know that the time of the SHTF is about to arrive and they need the extra capacity because zombies can be tough to put down; and c) GIJoe hero-in-their-own-minds types who feel empowered and manly like a special forces trooper, with a military level weapon in their hands. Hopefully they don’t lose their jobs at the convenience store or suffer a malfunction in their PlayStation, or they may decide to take their 30 round mags to the closest school to “see who’s laughing at me now.“

One of the most entertaining guntuber videos I’ve watched in a long time! Kudos!

Great Review and info! You’re easy and fun to listen to

Can't go wrong with the Shield. If you have one of the older, single stack ones you can upgrade them with magguts, an Apex trigger and night sights. I have the Shield Plus and have had no need to put on aftermarket stuff. Great EDC right out of the box.

@@orangecrush5512 I have the original Shield and have fired tons of rounds through it and never had any issues. I have a couple of mags converted to 10 round mags using the MagGuts conversion kit and they work well though I cut myself both times putting the thin flat spring with razor sharp edges into the mag body, but overal they work well and give me an extra 2 rounds. The only thing I am not crazy about is that even after years of use the recoil spring is still stiff and heavy duty and makes racking less fun for my arthritic hands, but I love shooting it and I shoot it about the best of anything I own. I know HO mentioned he likes 147 Sig ammo, I have always used 124 gr and feel it hits the sweet spot between velocity and muzzle energy. Never had to put it to the test against anyone and hope it stays that way.

@@johnholcomn8560 Lots of trigger snobs out there and have helped create the 3rd party market for triggers. Some triggers are better than others but never had any stock trigger that prevented me from shooting accurately with some practice. Perhaps its like golf where when your game isn't going so well and you buy a new driver and then proclaim all is well until the newness wears off and you revert back to your original 23 handicap, then its time to go out and buy the next great driver to fix it all over again ...

As usual a very informative video... You are a GEM with a wealth of hands on experience!

Very nice video brother. Thank you so much. Great point to make as well with MP Shield. Small guns are a bit tougher to shoot. Again sir, Thank you for an outstanding review vid.

Keep my maverick 88 an arm length away. My 5’2” 120 lb fiancé can handle it with buck shot and I showed her why it was important on a mini fridge when she saw the 4” hole out the back of the fridge she understood exactly why I was teaching her to use it. The 10/22 with 2-25 round mags red dot and laser right next to it😂

Heritage Pistols are consistently $99 to $120 for the base models. Some come with .22 mag cylinder also, so you get the ability to use 22 magnum, which is much better for defense. I personally love my Tisas PX-9 Gen 3 pistol. Big bang for buck. I got one with the case, (2) magazines, cleaning kit, holster, backstraps, removable flared magwell and it's optics ready for $265. Best deal IMO for a 9mm, Oh and it is threaded, although you have to shoot it single shot with a silencer.

Thank you so much for showing rifles/shotguns with left handed shooters. Sometimes tough to tell if I can fire them

Lots of practical & helpful down to earth info!

Love the channel. Would love to see your take on a top 5 series per caliber. Top 5 .22's. Top 5 .380's. Top 5 9mm. Etc. Etc. Keep up the awesome content.

My first shotgun was an m88. It was kind of my project gun. I loved the walking dead and had it when the show was around season 2 where they were rocking the 590 police shotguns. I was essentially trying to turn it into one of those. That and my axis were about the coolest things i had at 14ish.

I just bought the S&W shield plus after going over your channel the past 2-3 weeks, your reviews have been very helpful in understating the pros and cons of the different pistols, and the helped me narrow the options too bad that the guns here cost so much more (I paid for mine the equivalent of 1100$, so about 700$ more the in the USA)

Great video as always bud!

I recently saw the Arex Delta gen 2 (non-optics) version for $299. And there was a promotion that included 5 mags total.

Hi… Where did you see this? I need help getting one

got the mete sf. love that pistol. and a savage axis 2 in 6mm arc. flat shooter

Good list plus your message at the end keeps me coming back . Good stuff. Still not buying a shield.

Can confirm that the Ruger Security series is a GREAT value. Lots of gun for the money.

Would love to see a bolt action comparison under 1k$

I still carry my Shield 2.0 in .40 once in awhile. It’s slim and light. 6+1 or 7+1 in .40 but it’s for those deep concealed days. I have a Shield Plus in 9mm, but my current carry is the M&P 2.0 4” Compact (Glock 19 size). All great choices with no problems after many years of use. The only gun I got under $300 at time of purchase was the Ruger Wrangler. It’s just a fun little .22. Not the best, but I got it during 2020/21 to burn up my .22 and not my 9, 40, or 45. It’ll most likely be the first gun my son shoots. The 10-22 has been on my list for long while, but hasn’t been high on priority.

Ive only recently gotten into shooting. Shield was my first pistol purchase and i love it. Cool vid. I dont make a ton so im excited to check these out

Another favorite of mine is the Taurus TX22. Most semi-auto 22 pistols only have 10 or 12 round magazines. The TX22 has 16 round mags. Also mag extensions are available making them 21 round mags. The ergonomics are the best of about any pistol, decent trigger, and they run any ammo that I feed them. They are routinely $299.

The mossberg Maverick 88 is easily the best option on this list.

A Wrangler is the perfect companion to any semiautomatic .22; any ammo that fails to feed in the semi gets set aside for the revolver.

I recently got a Stoeger STR-9c. I haven't had many guns in my life but it's mainly for home protection, at least until i learn more and feel comfortable with it, and also add a small backstrap to it. So far I have fired 1 (13 round) mag off out at a friends. 1st shot i got the dreaded thumb-bite lol!.. I had seen that on a vid too. I guess i had to learn the hard way... I would like to see you add this gun or even a STR-9SC to one of your review vids. I got mine at Academy and walked out with it, 1 mag, and a box of ammo for $350.

Thanks for your hard work G

Personally been carrying a PSA Dagger Compact for a while now. Even have one with the threaded barrel and RMR cut (came with 5/27 round mags) as my bedside gun.

Great list! PSA Dagger should be higher though. Ruger 10/22 was and still is one of my fav guns to shoot; got a Hightower Arms stock that turns it into a bullpup P90.

Thanks for making this!

I had a Mossberg 500 combo in the Navy in San Diego mid 80s. 1st gun ever purchased.

The manual for the Rossi Brawler has a warning about shooting slugs. It states do not use slug ammunition and that slugs are unsafe in these guns. Most of the early reviews I have seen on the Brawler talk about running slugs, but for some reason it is not recommended by Rossi.
