For me, home defense is handled by a locked up, but quickly accessible fully loaded Standard Arms DP-12 Shotgun with a Holosun "Shake and Wake" green optic sight as well as a pressure switch operated stream light. With 16 shells fully loaded and 2 shots per pump, it's quite formidable. And that is backed up by an also fully loaded, locked up Glock 34 in 9mm with the same accessories. Great video with some excellent advice!

I love your message at the end about being a positive change. The last damn thing we need is the gun community leading the charge in to crazy town (like many have been for the last several years). SHTF preparation should be something we aspire to do, but never use. Not something we do, then aspire to find an excuse to use.

They're small, lightweight, easy to shoot and they can do everything from training, plinking, defense, even Hunting if you know what you're doing.

You mentioned something you just can't overemphasize. Casual shooters need to know that training doesn't just mean taking a course. It means practicing frequently. I had extensive training and over 50 years of shooting experience. When I was forced into retirement by a heart attack last year, I just could not shoot for well over a year. The first time I got back out to the range, I couldn't even hit the target. I didn't even realize for a while that I had slipped into using a grip, stance and shooting techniques I haven't used since the 1970s. My breathing was wrong, and I couldn't stay on the target. All my old instructors and buddies were right - shooting is truly a perishable skill. Another important point is having a few .22s to teach your kids. I was glad you included that. All of my kids learned on .22s.

Very true with a semi auto rifle, I told a friend who had never really shot before how to align the sights, had him shoot a few up close to see how he handled it, then took him to a 300 yard steel target in the next bay. After his first 5 he was consistently pinging steel at 300 yards with like 10 mins of instruction.

I can agree with everything except the Mossberg Mav 88. I don't think I will ever repurchase another Mossberg. I bought a Mav 88 Security a few years ago. The 3rd shell I fired through it, the extractor broke. I called Mossberg to see if they would replace it and was told no, it had probably failed due to improper maintenance and storage of the firearm. Mind you, I bought this shotgun at a gun store and immediately took it to the firing range inside this gun store. The time between purchasing the firearm and the extractor breaking was maybe 20 minutes, at the most. After battling them to get them to stick to their warranty for a few weeks, I shot it with my 300 win mag a couple times and cut it up into pieces. Spend the extra money and buy a Remington 870 express tactical. usually in the $400 range.

This is probably the best firearms video I've seen as far as suggestions. You cover a lot of ground in a short time. Also, you are reaching a large group of gun owners regardless of experience as well as budget. I really appreciate this video and I've subscribed.

In ww2 the Aussies were using Lee Enfield 303 bolt actions and firing so quick that the Germans thought the Aussies were using machine guns. The Enfield has a spring loaded bolt that helps reload quicker. Great firearm.

Kudos on the Mossberg pump. Low maintenance..high reliability, high lethality in close quarters. The Mossberg 500 Security Combo is an excellent choice if you want a long barrel for hunting as well.

Prefer a semiautomatic shotgun. Benelli M4 was expensive over a decade or more ago. Still works flawlessly.

I've been watching for quite a bit now and shooting even longer, and I think this is one of my favorite videos. You did a great job of outlining not just what you recommend people have, but why and each items functionality. I am a big fan of what you stand for and love your desire to give honest education to people that need it. Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to help brother

I love my Mossberg 88 and I actually prefer its loading gate as it doesn't have that spring-loaded ramp that I always get pinched on or get my gloves caught in. Especially under a stressful situation I totally prefer it as I avoid my personal malfunctions.

This is probably the most informative, fact based, well put together firearm video I’ve watched in a while. I grew up shooting but am just now getting back into it with the purchase of my radical ar15 and want to get my wife involved and trained. Great video. Great information. All around good work.

Got a radical fr-16 for 475 and best purchase I’ve done I recto y also got a h&k 416 22LR just to pair it and although more expensive I gotta say they’re true bang for the buck rifles

I really appreciate your no BS matter of fact approach to everything gun related.

I honestly love, appreciate, and agree with everything you said about the reasons to own a gun, especially now. The viewpoints you have as well as not being those people who always push for the most expensive guns. Being humble and learning the platform with a 22 LR is exactly how I want to teach my nephew. You and your wife do such great work 👏 take care and God bless 🙌

Brother, you are one of the best gun reviewers on the internet, and your advice is solid,sensible,and well thought out. Thank you for what youre doing for people.

Nice to hear a gun enthusiast, who isn't nuts. Thanks for the refresher and the positivity.

Solid recommendations I totally agree with, but I'm in suburbia, so I prefer a lever action .45-70 in place of a bolt action. I dig this channel!!!

Very informative to people who aren't very knowledgeable in firearms or are! I always learn someting new from your videos. Also I've watched the backlog videos, I have no doubt people will be able look into some options with how descriptive and battle tested your recommendations are! Thank you for being you and doing what you do!! I always look forward to your videos😀

Thank you, Chris! Everyone needs to hear this and believe it. I was fortunate my family believed in self protection and now am leading in my sphere of influence to promote that way of thought

Very good. A catastrophic fall and me turning 65, if I'm fighting fare, I have already lost, I carry. Thank you. God Bless and stay safe.

Well said Sir! Great informative video for the masses! Thanks for all you and Mrs. Outlaw do! I believe your both in this KZread thing for putting out quality information that's not bought and paid for by the firearm industry.

I would have the same list. But I am slowly changing a couple things base off reasons and situations. Urban fighting in NYC or Alaska survival, or bugging out in the country. I change the 22 with the ar. Because of conversions kits. I get 556 and 22. For a general purpose like your list.

It's not a bad idea if you really think about it. Everyone is carrying 9mm mostly, but it's not bad to have a few Hi-points in other calibers if...IF something happens to the 9mm supplies and all you can find is other calibers. The Hi-point CF 380 is identical to their 9mm Hi-point, except for the barrel and spring. Even the 9mm mag is identical to the 380 mag. You can pick up the barrel and spring for 25 bucks, allowing you to convert the .380 to 9mm without buying a whole new gun. The 10mm Hi-point can also fire the .40 s&w without any mods. All Hi-points are +P rated too.

This is one of my favorite channels on KZread. Just good solid advice and honest opinions. Good shit bro

Well said man, I'm always watching you from Chile, in where own a gun is restricted just only for 2 as personal defense, and for a 100 amo each once a year. This is basics, next step (on which I'm) is about sportsman shooting and hunting, on which your able to have 6 gun restricted to pistols, revolvers and shotguns, and so, buying 3000 amo each. Said this, I'm on the 8 gun permission and enjoy your reviews. Of courseI have two 1911, one of them a Colt from 1914, a Mossberg 500 ( pistol grip) and a G2c ( among others) which I bought after saw your honest review. All the best for you man, Cheers.

And a revolver is even more noob-friendly. In fact, the older I’ve gotten I’ve grown to really appreciate a quality revolver. So much so I’ve jettisoned my SA pistols.

Thank you for what you do, been thinking about adding a better concealer to the collection and after this, the Canik has been solidified.

I always appreciate your message and advice. Thankfully my father imparted the skills of gun safety, gun wisdom, and marksmanship to both my brother and me. I have prepared with the same sound template as you have outlined in this video. Keep the videos coming!

I nominate you to be our 2nd amendment ambassador! Extremely knowledgeable factual advice and levelheaded regarding arms! Theres too many sensitive people making laws about how we defend ourselves today with no real sense of reality, what it takes to keep loved ones safe. Counting on the police to get there in time significantly lowers your survival chances to likely 50/50 or worse You get it great video brother! 👍👍👍

For the .22 I personally like the heritage revolver because they are very customizable and cheap but reliable and well made. They are also an amazing gun to start out with and are ambidextrous. and easy to clean. i would very much like for Honest Outlaw to make a video that focuses on the heritage revolver if you guys haven't already.

Excellent video! You left out on shotgun gauge and that is the 410. My Great grandmother was an excellent shot and she always kept a 410 at her bedside and now I have that little single shot 410. My wife has taken over my Benelli M4 though and with the 7 round tube she’s very good!

Excellent words of wisdom at the end of this video Chris! Appreciated words good sir. Hopefully more and more people will come around to think that way. It all starts at home.

As always great video. My favorite calibers are .22., .38, 9 mm, .45 in pistols and .22, 223, 7.62 x 39, and .308. I have most of the guns you talked about. My wife has a 20 gage semi, which is just for home defense. I agree with the .22 caliber practice guns. Cheap, reliable and good teaching tools. Thanks again for the great video

Great advice Chris! Based on your reviews I have acquired over the past 9 months a CZ P-10F, Hi-Point 995TS and a Mauser 1911 22lr (for the wife as she is intimidated by sound and recoil). Keep up the great content.
