I've been carrying a handgun for 25+ years, and finding the right one for me has been a deep rabbit hole. Honestly, I still haven't found one that is absolutely perfect for me. I don't believe there is such a thing, and I have owned most of the popular makes and models. Keep all biases aside, and have no brand loyalty. Most reputable brands have something good to offer. Don't expect anything to be perfect, and find one that works better than most for you. That's my armchair keyboard commando advice.

This is precisely the same thing I have found I been shooting for 40 years and I have not found the one I have gone through nearly almost all major handgun models , the only one was very close is the 1911 but it does have negatives . My hands are 3-4 x glove so these compacts just don't have the grip area.

Easy solution: get a couple you cycle through depending on your mood. I have 2, a micro ruger 9 and a lcp 2

If you’re a female NEVER carry a pistol in your handbag/ purse. Ever. Off-body carry is a bad tactic. If you’re a female carry as the men do, inside your waistband. Someone attempts to snatch your bag, good luck trying to retrieve your handgun while wrestling to keep your handbag. If the mugger succeeds in snatching your bag, say goodbye to your defensive weapon, and the mugger now has a gun if he didn’t already. Same goes for men with backpacks. Always carry on-body. And advising pocket carry at 2:25. There are more dangers to the carrier with pocket carry than with any other style of carry. It’s not good advice to pocket carry, it really should be on the belt in a proper holster, preferably made of kydex. If you absolutely have to pocket carry, please watch this and take it in to consideration. Enjoy: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJ-qy9yDd6rWeJM.html

Nice, unbiased review of several different handgun types. No matter which type or brand you get, the most important thing besides safety (of course) is practice/range time. Follow that up with more practice/range time.

What works for you today will not necessarily be right for you tomorrow. Based on my 50 years things like activity level, style of dress, eye sight, needs, etc will (not may....... will) change as time goes by. So stay open minded.

This guy reminds me of my CSM. "Here is the accurate and up to date info". "No questions". 😎

If you don't have the experience to know what you want already, then you need to go to a shooting range, and shoot a whole shitload of different guns and pick what you like the best. At a range i go to a lot, it is only $8 per caliber. Can shoot as many guns in that caliber as you want, long as you buy the ammo from them (to ensure no hot or shitty handloads can fuck up their guns) but luckily they have great prices on ammo lol

With due respect and thank you for your service. This video is lacking and in some ways may imply an endorsement of poor pistol selection. The diamondback is a poorly made pistol and your mere inclusion makes people think maybe it’s worthy of carry. It’s not. I have personally seen two fail within months. The XD is also a poor voice with a known design flaw that can cause unpredictable catastrophic failure (roll pin). A pocket pistol that is actually carried for protection should not be ported and I’m confident you know that and know the reasons why, yet you failed to mention those hazards. The safety violations are also not cool, because new shooters may emulate your actions because you are a tier one stud. I’d highly recommend a follow up video where you talk about quality of a firearm, because you are clearly targeting an audience that will be betting THEIR life on YOUR advice. To all others reading this: quality is critical, practice is critical. Glock, Sig, HK, S&W and a few others. Also, buy a gun you will train with. That small S&W would not be fun or even a very useful training experience in a one day basic pistol class.

Next time please have the name of the gun on the screen. I can’t hear all the numbers and names that you are saying . Tks

Great video for the most part. I like how there are a lot of striker fire pistols here. Simpler is better for most people, especially new shooters. I do have 2 things I would like to add though. 1) For your defensive carry, get some Speer Gold Dot or Federal HST. Those do well out of any barrel length and are standard issue law enforcement ammo, which is looked at with a less jaundice eye in court. Remember: There are always two fights, the one for your life and the one for your freedom. Take all precautions. 2) I say this as someone who can shoot quarter sized groupings on any 1911: I would not recommend one for a duty/conceal carry pistol. 1911s are too finicky and hold too few bullets to be effective for this purpose. They're also costly. I understand that firearms are subjective and everyone varies a bit in what they find comfortable. Which is why, if you like the 1911 as much as I do, I'd highly recommend a CZ 75 instead. Same ergonomics, much more affordable price, holds more ammo. (And to anyone who thinks the CZ being 9mm is an issue: Bullet technology has increased so much since Jeff Cooper's time that there is a negligible ballistic difference between 9mm and .45 ACP, or any other of the duty calibers for that matter. The best one is the one you shoot the best.)

Please remember that we can use ONLY magtech ammo, so make a video about it if possible, sorry for my poor english. Love you guys!

Love the 1911. Steel and two safeties. A dream to shoot, but expensive. Just looking at the big .45 barrel is intimidating. Two safeties in case it's taken from you in an altercation is a huge benefit. Some say under stress you'll fumble with the safeties , I won't mention any names, but I disagree. That's just Glock propaganda. You don't need a $3000 1911 either. I don't care if it is all organic and humanely harvested from free range factories, and need one thousand rounds just to break them in! Too much marketing nonsense. If you do go with a Glock stick to the 9mm and full size. Big rounds and plastic guns don't mix. Well this should piss a lot of people off.

Thank you for the video. I've spent MANY hours telling others who are new to shooting about the HUGE variety of handguns to choose from and STILL never cover every variable. A person could spend MANY days looking at the vast number of guns, calibers, configurations, capacity, sighting systems and more before ever getting into the specifics of trigger styles, ammo types and specific uses, etc. At least you showed a small variety of handguns that cover a small spectrum of what is available to the legal gun owner in this day and age. But the only way to know what will work for a SPECIFIC person is to have THAT PERSON try as many different types of handguns as possible before they actually settle down and buy ONE gun they feel will meet THEIR NEEDS! The best part of that equation IMHO is that it allows them to get their juices flowing and, maybe, buy MORE guns as time passes by and their funds allow. LOL But thank you for your video that will be helpful to others who are new to the shooting sports or for personal protection.

For me, personally, Id carry a 9mm with hollow points (Glock 19). Holds a decent amount of ammo and is very reliable (imo). Id rather have more rounds of a smaller caliber vs. a bigger caliber gun with a lower capacity. If shits going down, you're never going to hit the target perfectly. More rounds = better. Just my opinion!

Easy go to the gun store and say that one. When they which one just say yes all of them

If a 5-6 shots revolver is not enough then I would go straight to a glock 19, but the pistol I trust the most are the jericho 941 and the sig p226 (german made, not the crap you have in america, sorry)

Go with a large 9mm. Larger guns have more mass and handle the recoil better. A larger gun has a larger grip, which allows your hands to handle the recoil better. The 9mm is a under-powered round, so it has less recoil.

My Drill Sgt probably thought that I had weak wrists when he saw me doing the Crab-Walk at a turtle's pace... The truth is that I'm a hockey player with pretty powerful wrist shots... And I refuse to injure my wrists doing some stupid crab-walk exercise. That said... I really don't think any calibers that I've been shooting have put hardly any stress on my wrists... Of course, I'm not shooting powerful rounds like 357 or 10mm. I suggest you go a rental range and try out various calibers like .40 cal, 9mm, & .22... just so that you can experience them for yourself and then make your decision. A lot of people will laugh at the small, weak 22... but the bad guys want easy targets... if you have to pull your weapon, 99.99% of the time, he's not going to know what caliber you have... he's going to RUN. If you want something for just home defense, then I recommend an AR-15 in 556... which has very easy recoil. To demonstrate this lack of recoil... one of the Drill Sergeants shot the M16 one-handed... with the butt-stock resting on his groin area. Good luck !

Thank you.

How to pick your Hand Gun First question what is the purpose of this hand gun. Second do you prefer striker fired or DA/SA hammer fire gun and any features you need or look for. GTW/SHTF Glock 17/19/19x, CZ 75SP1/P07/P09, SIG 226, Beretta 92F/92C/M9A1-3/Px4 Storm, H&K USP9/P30 I believe 9mm and .40 SW are best but for me I go for Glock 17, 19 and 19x CCW Appendix Carry I prefer a DA/SA hammer fired gun and the CZ P07 is my choice but a H&K P30 will work well as will compact 1911s. Also the Beretta 92C or Px4 Px4 Storm Compact. I do not like Striker fired for Appendix Carry but if you do for me I worry more about re-holstering the fire arm. I would want a safety on a Striker Fired gun. I don't have any SF gun with any extra safeties. 4/5 o'clock and 7/8 o'clock carry is where I carry Glocks like the 43/26/19 or S&W M&P9 Shield/M&P9 Compact 1.0/M&P9 Compact 2.0 Home Defense I like a more Race Gun. Now many guns will work but top priority is a light and minimum or 15 rounds of 9mm or 13 of .40 SW. Something I love is the M&P9 2.0 5in with a Apex flat face trigger. This with a SureFire, Streamlight or Olight have great lights. Has been my choice for years original with a 1.0 and couple years ago I got the 2.0. The Glock 17, 17L and 34 all work same for 22, and 35. For me I have been moving more and more to Glock over the last year because I know the S&W so well I feel that the muscle memory is saved for me. Now Glock is my choice to build my skills up shooting it more and more as it would be my choice for SHTF. The this has led me to Also running the P09 as well. I now carry and home defense is on a rotation but I stick with Glock or CZ or S&W at the same time so if my CCW is a Glock 19 then my Home Defense is my Glock 34. If I carry M&P9C 2.0 my Home Defense is my M&P9 2.0 5inch. If I'm carrying the P07 then my P09 is my home defense. Well I travel a lot and go hiking a lot so I got 2 guns for this Colt Delta Elite 10mm and a Ruger Super Redhawk 454 Casull I will take with me if I'm camping or hiking. I will be buying a Glock 20 when the Gen 5 releases. Maybe you want a pocket gun I like the Ruger LCP2 and Bond Arms Derringer and Derringers in general. I also occasionally ankle carry a back up S&W M638. For me pick what works for you and find what works for you. What works for me may not work for you. This means sights, lights, triggers can all change per person. I use XS Big Dot and F8 sights for Carry guns but Home Defense I may use a Trijicon RMR or Heinie Sights. I try to keep common systems so nothing changes that I have to learn something completely new. I believe even learning new things it works best if you can convert things simply based off commonality of skills and systems. I suggest people try things and when something starts to click use it. Doesn't mean you can't try new things but look at everything and develop yourself and what works. I like the Ameriglo I Dot but also on a race gun I like a Warren Tactical green fiber optics with blacked out rear tactical sight set. Another option if you have a friend who uses a sight you don't and you wanna see how they work I do a lot of this. To keep cost down sharing guns when we go out as a group to shoot as a larger group. Maybe you will will be like my dad and like Revolvers and Carrys a rotation of Chiappa Rhino 200 DS, S&W M327, S&W M638, S&W Governor, Ruger GP100, Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan, Ruger LCR, Charter Arms 22 Mag, Colt Cobra, Colt King Cobra. But he also Carrys a SIG 227 and a SIG 226 in 357 Sig he has a Ruger LCP2 as well. Now he has a Glock 35 and he just got his first 9mm in the Glock 43x. You could end up like my Uncle who loves 1911s Colts, Springfields, Night Hawk, STI, Wilson Combat, Les Baer and just 45acp. Like the H&K USP, Mark 23, USP compact, CZ97, SIG 227, FN45 Tactical, Springfield XDM, XDS, XDE, Beretta Px4 Storm in 45acp, 8045 Cougar but he has a few 9mms. He is now looking at 10mm 1911s. Now mind you he has sold a ton because divorces and when he hit hard times before. But he still has 4 1911s and all the non 1911 45s he did sell a Beretta M9A1 and Wilson Combat 92G as well I think the he has Colt Gold Cup, Colt M45A1, Springfield TRP Operator, STI The Tactical. Conclusion find what works for you even my mom shoots different stuff based off injuries from a wreck. Everyone has unique situations that will make one gun better from another based on the person's life and experience.

I would like to here your opinion on the 1903 Baby Browning and the Beretta Jetfire

Ive also had revolvers mis fire.....

Recommended? get a glock and clean it once a month or after shooting. Make it atleast a 9mm. Youll be safe! 👍

No SIG? :(

I can't think of a Sig I liked. Out of all the Sigs I've shot, I never wanted one. And the one Sig I own, I want to sell

Christopher Barger P320 X-Compact?

I would also add to be open to different calibers. America has this weird cult attitude to .45, but 9mm will also work. .357 will work. .50 will work. Even .22 will work, but you'll have to be more careful about where your shots land and be prepared to shoot more of them than you might the others.

What do you think about the HK vp40? I'm a law enforcement k9 officer. Wanted to get your opinion on the vp40

Nice watch 👍

45 70 revolver is a good option

So I am looking for my first handgun and I need help . I am trying to find a da/sa with manual safety that you can engage whether the hammer is down or up, slide must be able to move while gun is in safety and I want the double action to be at least 7-8 pounds

Also, at 4:11 he compares the 1911 to a glock 19 and says it's thinner, when the 1911 is clearly thicker

best calibre pistols for either a first time gun user and in the same breath best pistol for combat, self defence and/or home defence?

Luke Anthony I agree 9mm is the way to go. Glock full size. The weight will help with recoil, and help it cycle in case you limp wrist it.

Going along with the two comments prior to mine I will agree 9mm is a good place to start. The FBI has gone back to 9mm and the military as well, that says something for the round. Personally I use 45acp but if that is to large for what I'm wearing then I carry a 9mm. Thanks

I 4t it was illegal to carry a concealed weapon

That was great! I have small lady hands and glocks are too big for my hands.

If you want to stick to double stack guns then you can look at a few of the following, S&W M&P, Sig Sauer P320, and HK VP9 (I'm sure there are more). You can change the grip size with swapping panels or the grip itself to make them smaller or larger. Thanks

A Sig P365 XL might just fit your hands.

You should do a Review on that Watch. 😂

“1911 wOn 2 wOrLd WaRs” Because striker fired polymer guns didnt exist back then.

What’s the info on the Diamond Back holster?
