I concur on the X-Macro. I’ve had the P365XL for a few years and I was hoping for more from the X-Macro. I can shoot the P365XL better (longer barrel), so I traded off the X-Macro and recouped what I paid. The P365XL is my EDC in AIWB when I wear shorts or sweats.

I don't keep guns I don't like. I trade them or sell them and use the money to buy guns I prefer.

I agree with you about the 938 and the SCCY. Although as an OLD revolver guy who used to compete with a DA revolver I had little issue with the SCCY trigger. Mine didn't fail but I really bought it as it came with a red dot and I wanted to try the red dot since I am older (70), None of my other pistols were red dot compliant. For my initial test of the red dot the SCCY worked fine for me. I now have a Hellcat with a red dot for carry. I think the Shadow Systems Foundation series, the less frills if you will, also have upgrades over the Glock and a much better price point.

I bought a Sccy with orange camo... I got rid of it within a week! 4 mags and 8 malfunctions in one day convinced me that I needed something better.

I got my Sig P938 Legion Sept 1st.this year, 741.00 out the door, brand new, including tax and all. Three 7 round mags, hard plastic case. When I registered with Sig, I got a zippered soft case (very nice btw) and a collector coin for free. Since then I've put 300 - 400 rounds threw it, both FMJ & JHP, Zero issues or malfunctions. This will be my backup/pocket and summer carry pistol. I'm Very happy with my purchase.

Thanks for this! I think it is valuable to gun shoppers to see what experts have to say about guns that are not up to the task. I felt the same way about my M18/P320 as you did with the Diamondback AM2. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. I knew it was the trigger. I ended up getting a Canik Mete SFX. I felt like a pro and was getting tight

I really appreciate your sharing. Then again, I have never considered purchasing any of the weapons on your list. You went through a lot of pain and frustration for us. Thank you.

Totally agree with buying the base XMacro. Without the comp, you get a longer barrel. I got one with a manual safety for about 700 out the door. Took it to the range, and it’s worth the money.

Easy to conceal AWIB or 4 o'clock? I'm thinking of selling my hellcat pro for a macro with a dot and light for EDC and only pistol. The mags sticking out a little under the grip seems like it would be harder to conceal.

Thanks for another great vid. I thought I would share my experience with a gun that doesn't get a lot of attention. Sometime back I decided to switch all my carry guns to DA/SA/ decock platforms. I started with the HK P30SK and now I have two P30's. I am very happy with both but they are a bit pricey. I also want a back up gun and decided on the Bersa Thunder 380 and I love this little gun. That got me intrigued with the TPR9C so I picked one up. After running it through its paces without a single issue, this budget offering kinda blew my mind. Does it have all the bells and whistles of the newest offerings, no, but I have become convinced that Bersa in general and specifically the TPR9c are definitely under rated. Thanks again, I always enjoy your content.

Great feedback here! I like your discrimination in regards to reviewing the guns, positives and negatives. Personally, I can SOMEWHAT relate to the Xmacro. So I took out my 365XL the same day my brother in law brought out his XMacro and after shooting his macro, I was smitten. It was smooth as butter and provided the tightest group I’ve ever shot out the box… that being said, I went out and got my own and boy was I shocked. I shot it side by side with my XL and my XL group, only the second time shooting it, was far tighter than the macro. Now at distances of more than ten yards, the groups were still fairly close, and to be fair I tended to shoot the XL after the macro so maybe I was settling in as I transitioned to the XL, but ultimately my XL more or less outperformed the compensated macro that I had purchased. Not regretting the purchase, but a little confused at this point before I take it out more. Additionally worth noting, I have my own personal experience with a gun that will absolutely shock most people as a regrettable purchase and that is the Sig p220 elite .45. I got it for a good deal, about 900 dollars on sale at sportsman’s warehouse and couldn’t pass on the 1200 dollar gun for such a deal. When it came time to qualify with it… barely!!! I barely qualified for armed security carry… the single stack for one made it difficult given the qualification requirements, but the gun malfunctioned numerous times on me. I’ll give it some grace as I had to run close to 200 rounds through it for qualifications, but still. It literally left me with nightmares of failed defense scenarios that prevented me from wanting to carry it. What should be nearly the flagship of sig firearms left me feeling like it would fail… I traded it for a Wasr 10 Ak-47 and ultimately to the macro. While the macro may not be the butter gun shooting .5 inch groups I thought it might… it has proven itself more reliable with the same rounds spent than the p220 did. I lost all confidence in the 220 and 226 after that experience which is a shame given so many users phenomenal reviews. I just can’t do it and I’m hesitant to buy a solid frame gun like a 1911 as a result… Finally worth note, not the regrettable purchase but the gun many people have regretted that I loved was the smith and Wesson bodyguard .380 with crimson trace. Zero malfunctions in nearly a thousand rounds down range and I could tag a target at 50+ yards… now that’s a one in six shot, but damn good for a pocket pistol that nobody would ever know you’re carrying. In the end… my xl is my favorite so far but I’ll hopefully be the proud owner of either an fn 510 or Glock 20 soon and shall see how it goes. Thanks for listening and good shooting!

The Sig P938 is one of my favorites. I love the 1911 style in a compact design. I shoot it well, love the trigger and just looks cool! I do use the extended magazines to get a full grip. I did buy this years ago, prior to the high capacity compact guns, but still one of my favorites.

I saw the X-macro in the thumbnail, so I wanted to hear the justification for regrets. C’mon, you can do better than not thinking the comp is worth $150-200. I love mine, but here’s why I have minimal regrets: I bought it immediately after release. My shop had one, and the second I picked it up I knew it was the best thing I had ever seen (for my intended use). I was more impressed after shooting it. I carried it all Fall and Winter, but found the grip a little tough to conceal in the warmer months. So, I bought a P365 as well. I replaced the curved trigger so there is as little difference as possible in the overall feel. Once I started carrying that, I found I was mostly using the 12 rd mags anyway. Sig does a great job with extended mag base plates, so it really feels like an XL grip. At the time, the 17 rd mags weren’t available, but now they are. If I could do it over now that 17rd mags are available, I might consider the Specter Comp using either 12 or 17 rd magazines depending on concealment clothing. It would mean however, giving up the standard front rail on the X-macro for Sig’s proprietary. Hindsight is 20/20, but my only real regret is that there was no way I could have waited 6 months (for mags) to have 17 rd capacity in a package that is such a joy to carry and shoot!

The only one I regretted buying was a 1943 German Mauser in 8mm. It was a fantastic rifle and shot well. The issue was maintaining the rifle vs actually firing the thing. My example was one that had very poor bluing on the rear sight leaf. It had started to "plum" from age, and had also started to develop slight surface rust from the previous owner due to neglect. I wound up selling it to a friend that collects Mausers simply because I was cleaning the thing more than I was enjoying it at the range. It was a great rifle and went to a great friend who enjoys it more than I do so it all worked out.

The p938 was on the market before the double stack micro 9s. To compare it to a micro 9 is fine but was available before they hit the market so it’s hard to argue against it

I don't like my p938, mostly because I suck with it compared to everything else I've shot. It works well, is small, built well, looks cool, etc., so it's mostly user error as to why I don't like it. That said, with how small it is and the situation you would need it for, it would get the job done for sure. Just shooting some other similar sized guns I could shoot them better personally, so I probably just need more practice with it.

First time seeing your content. Good video. Looking forward to perusing your selection

After buying the one and only Taurus (TX22) I had ever purchased (very happy) on a whim I picked up a new GX4 due to size, looks and price. I liked the in hand feel and semi straight trigger. After less than 125 rounds I started experiencing the dead trigger issue. I sent it back and Taurus sent it back with a laundry list of parts they had replaced. So far it has functioned flawlessly but I doubt I will ever be able to trust it for anything as a range toy, which I don't need. Not to mention that the rear sight has to be drifted all the way to the right for myself or anyone to hit accurately at 15 feet. It will most surely be sold as soon as they get where I can recoup my initial investment plus the ammo I wasted on it. What a drag. I already had a P365 and a P365X which have NEVER had a hiccup. What was I thinking?

My first concealed gun was a Sccy CPX-2 that I bought from a friend of mine. He had it for 4 years and I had it for 5 years before selling it for funds for a 1911 and personally loved it. I will say the trigger wasn’t the best but for me personally, it worked well for me as my first concealed carry.

I have a disagreement with the P365 XMacro. Don't get the base, get the TacOps. Sure, it's $100 more, but it comes with two extra mags ($60), and the flared magwell and larger slide release. The magazines alone make it the better deal.

@XrayMike17plus1

6 ай бұрын

Just be clear - many have been calling the OG X-Maxro the base model. It's not, that's the X-Macro Comp. The base model was recently dropped by Sig. It's the TacOps minus the extended slide release and magwell, but it has the 'XL' Gen 2 slide with the forward-mounted optics cut that leaves the rear sights in place when an optic is mounted. It may have other updates as well that aren't as obvious. Personally, I don't mind buying things to enhance a pistols functionality, but don't like having to buy a gun with features I'll end up removing that may may just sit unused - like the magwell. If you're not concealing the weapon, the magwell is usefull, but makes the gun more noticeable, i.e. 'prints' more through a cover garment than the X-Macro grip module alone.

@denkdry

6 ай бұрын

This was my choice (the non comped macro a.k.a. TacOps). Compared to the XL, it was about $150 more but the total of 4 mags and the Magwell sealed the deal for me! And now, I see you get 3 extra mags if you buy any Macro.

@bradwhite4827

The tacops has been nothing but a great carry piece for me personally. With or without the magwell it never prints (I don’t wear skin tight clothing) and it has been reliable. I don’t put anything extra on carry guns. I don’t put a light or a dot even though I have them for the gun but carry wise it’s a good piece with 17 rounds and light and thin.

That's what I want to know. I have never experienced a failure on my 4.5 9mm. And if the 10mm can go 10k rounds (same frame), I don't expect to. But yet, my neighbor had to send his FNX in for his trigger. Said it broke. Whatever that means.

My regrets list is very heavy in "value" category. It took me way to long to learn that (for the most part) you get what you pay for when it comes to firearms.

Well I try the Taurus G3 and dont regret it all. Had bit of feeding issue but polished the feed ram and since then no more problem and have it now for 3 years and it gets better with time. Now have the g2c and the newest G3 tactical and preferred all my Taurus even over my Glock 21c 45 acp which I only use as my duty pistol.

That is an awful lineup of handguns

Just had the same thought after I bought the sig m400 tread, after the fact found out had to buy a proprietary front pic. rail for the front mbus to line up properly with the receiver. Kind of feel like it should had been in the box also does not have a standard barrel nut to do an easy swap for a mono rail.

My Sig P365 X-Macro Comp with the Romeo Zero Elite is pretty nice. After putting a total of about $1,500 into it, it should me. The pistol was about a grand. 4 more mags, a TLR 7A, and a holster for that got me a bit down the road. While the trigger pull weight was about 4.5 #, the break (the striker release) was awful. In addition, the take down of the slide to clean the striker is flawed. I spent another $300 on a M-Carbo trigger, springs, and complete titanium striker replacement, (which all just went up in price AND usually requires a 2 month wait for parts). Yes. It shoots well. It does handle incredibly well. It is great... now. I could also take a Glock 19 and drop in a $30 ( read that... thirty dollars) Ghost connector and spring kit and match the performance. It just won't feel as good or look as cool.

Yes, Glock stock triggers are vastly underrated, when is all they need is a Ghost connector.

I feel like this was really informative. I didn’t agree with several things but your reasoning was well presented. Starting with the 365 macro I think you missed the key features that make the tacops a great value. The extra mag is nice because I never feel like I can have too many mags, the extended slide release is great and I wish that was the standard, and the mag flare is a nice touch. I wanted to agree about shadow systems but I think what you maybe didn’t acknowledge is that you are paying for more than the sum of the parts. You are paying for the convenience of the parts already gotten and assembled with a warranty. Yes you are paying a small premium for that but I think for many it’s worth it. Many people don’t have the tools and may struggle with some of the work. I am back and forth on the 938 your criticism was valid as far as what else is available but if you want a small 1911 style pistol it really checks the boxes for how it functions. I also think you maybe were a little harsh on colors of polymer pistols based on a bad model that comes in many colors. The P365 comes in many colors and there are plenty of other qualities pistols that do. Overall great video.

I EDC a FN 509 Midsize MRD and the trigger hands down is the only thing I don't like on mine! I've put well over 2k rounds thru it, grit went away some what but the take up and hinge design are still there! Like you, I don't like swapping triggers and unfortunately for me the FN 509 triggers are a nightmare to remove... might have to finally check on HK! Awesome video as always👍

Thanks man

I ended up with the non comp tacops and had to add a few things like a hogue grip for example. but once I it I fell in love with it. It replaced my gen 3 G19.

My wife bought the cr920 as her first carry gun. She loves it, had an issue with it and shadow systems did not stop until the problem was solved, after about 500 rounds it started getting failure to feeds constantly. They replaced the barrel 1st, then the slide 2nd and it ended up being the magazines that was the issue. So if nothing else, they have excellent customer service...tho I'd prefer to never need to contact customer service at all

Good reviews. I do like my 938 but can see your point. I owned one of the early 365s and really didn't like it. Keep up the good work.

I have two on of high end guns you were talking about. One the P938 was out before any double stack gun in that size came out and it's all metal frame and hammer fired. As far as the FN the trigger isn't that bad.

I bought an MP plus, and what everyone was, it was good, but after probably 4-5 hundred rounds thru it, I just don't care for it. After trying the Sig. 365 X Macro. I fell in love with the comp. Very accurate. It's my new CC WOW!!

Would you say the same thing about the p365xl vs p365xl specter comp as you do with the XMacro?

The best pistol I’ve purchased was a CZ P-10c that I got gently used for $300 about a year ago. Comfortable, always cycles reliably, and omg that TRIGGER!!

I have the 509 tactical as well and the trigger is exactly what I hate about it.

Got my DBAM2 for $225 AFTER FFL fee. A steal. Mine has been 100% reliable. Shoots straight, 17 round mags are nice, and ones like the 365 are too small for my hands and too big for pocket carry anyway. So this one fills my IMB role often. I did change the trigger, I removed the trigger safety all together and changed the trigger return spring (can't remember if I cut it or just stretched) and it's much better now without sacrificing reliability. The only things I don't like: the stippling is very aggressive, it rubs my belly without an undershirt and irritates my skin; a little sanding or grip tape can solve that. Other thing is, even though it says compatible with Glock sights, I changed out just the front sight for a night sight and now I shoot low at 25 yards. About 6 inches low with the dot-covering method, so I have to use a 6 o'clock hold. Other than that I really like it for a $225 gun. It is now over $400 so there are plenty of better options these days.

The only one I ever regret buying was my PPQ, because I bought the VP9 at the same time and figured I would keep both as they both were so similar. I wanted a new P365X Macro and sold the PPQ and the 9 mags to go with it and bought the P365X Macro and a few mags. I now EDC the Sig and my VP9 is my winter EDC, sometimes. The Sig with it's capacity has even been edging out the VP9 Due to size with a Green dot. Not going to sell the VP9 though I might get some new sites due to tritium getting about 9 years old or so...

@yeahright73

7 ай бұрын

I also found that over time, the tritium in my VP9's Mepro sights was growing slightly dimmer and hard to consistently pick up. I wound up getting the optic ready slide when Primary Arms had one on sale, and running a 507C. I also upgraded the springs, the trigger was great already but now it's phenomenal!

I see your point about the trigger on the FN 509 Tactical, but I have to defend it a little because it's the only really good gun on the list. I like the small size of the SIG 938, but a mini 1911 style gun ended up being a bad choice for me. The SCCY CPX-2 has one of the worst triggers of any gun I have ever tested. Thanks for the video!

Keltech P15: what’s the name of the ear protection you used in that segment?

For what ever its worth the p938 (excluding the legion), it can take the kimber micro 9 mags and that bumps your capacity up to an 8+1. Con is it aticks out a bit more but you also have the 7 round magazine from factory or kimber.

One we had issues. Ruger lc9. Kept misfiring. Fire pin getting clogged . and a glock 36 45acp. Also a kahr pm45. Great trigger and size. Had eject and battery issues.

"7 pistols I regret buying".... proceeds to say "Sig sent me all of these"........ eyeballs can't roll any harder

Curious as to why you wouldnt recommend the P365 Xmacro for AIWB?

Apex Tactical has a trigger set for the FN 509 with a pull weight of 5.5 lbs. A 10 round mag for a 938 costs $22. I agree with the P365, we used them in Afghanistan and I thought they were solid, no one had any problems even though they got beat up on a daily basis.

I agree about the FN trigger needing replacement. Hinged triggers were a bad idea from the start.

When I got my FN509, my son had me get a Apex trigger, heavy duty sticker (Apex) and I later got the Apex threader barrel and now she's a beast.

I own the 509c and 545 tac. my 509 came with a flat trigger and the 545 has the hinge style trigger. I was skeptical of getting the 545 bcus of all the flack ive heard about the hinge triggers of the 509t but i ended up not minding it at all, so maybe it was improved upon by the time the 45 came out, but i'll probably swap it eventually. The flat trigger on my 509c is very decent for stock trigger. As far as the xmacro, i have the comp version since that was the first version available, and my brother has the tacops, i prefer the tacops with the full length barrel. The integrated comp doesnt does as much as a threaded barrel with independent comp would and its not really noticeable. If anything id take a regular 365 with threaded barrel and comp to put on my macro, or get an XL slide with slide cuts to lighten to mass

Bought the macro comp when it first came out. Read about rust issues and sold it right away. Bought the basic macro recently because of the longer barrel and hoping the rust issues have been resolved. So far so good.

938 is a great firearm I got before the 365 came out. Using a 7 round extended mag with a 6 round extra mag is all I would need in 99% of situations, reliable, light, and small enough to wear in a cargo short pocket in warm weather. Carry a 365 now, and it's also a good gun that's as reliable as heck, but in summertime, I'll always carry a p938, which always does the job when you need a small footprint in a 9mm

Good video on point. Every gun I regret buying I sell and upgrade. If I get bored, I will sell a gun and then buy a new thing. I just enjoy shooting and collecting, but my collection is always changing.

Won't lie, I want an FN 509. I bought the FN 545 and it has become one of my favorite pistols. I can live with heavier triggers if they are consistent. I'd like to give a 509 a try myself to see if it could actually be something I could learn to enjoy the way I do the 545.

The trigger is noticeably better in the 510 and 545 though, what are your thoughts?

The wall on the FN is what I love about it. I love knowing exactly where it is at. In fact it is my favorite trigger in a polymer pistol, but like you said a lot of this is opinion based.

My daughter bought one of those SCCYs, I took one look and rolled my eyes. I unholstered it, cleared it and pulled the trigger, told her this was not a great pistol at any price. She likes it, though, so what ya gonna do. The only pistol I've really regretted buying for myself was a gen 5 Glock 17. I bought it because I figured the platform is ubiquitous, everybody has one, they're easy to work with, the aftermarket is absurdly huge, they're reliable, mags can be had for something like $12 compared to $60 for my HK, and it just seemed like a good idea at the time. I took the damned thing to the range once and hated it. I cleaned it, boxed it back up and stuck it in the back of the closet for a year before eventually trading it in toward a Tisas Raider. I realize some people love Glocks, they don't work for me. My go-to carry pistols are a P365XL, a VP9OR and when I'm feeling spicy, the Tisas.
