The fitment in your hands with the texture, weight, sights, magazine options, option to get a version with or without a slide safety, version of optic ready or not, how HARD this thing goes down range. Everyone I’ve ever let shoot the Shield Plus fell head over heels for it. The gun should almost be in his “top 10 for $350” guns. This gun regularly goes on sale or has a rebate for money back or sends you a few magazines. I picked my no slide safety version up WITH TAX for $418. Comes with a 10 and 13 round mag.

Adore is the correct word for how I feel about my PDP C4. When handed to others, the first response is always, "OMG, that grip is incredible!" Its accuracy right out of the box made practicing at 50yards and beyond easy.

From what I can tell the P-07 has not been discontinued, just the Urban Grey and OD Green models.

I’m a big PDP fan. It’s definitely in the top tier of pistols at its price range. Never seen one under $500. They’re typically $630-650 for the regular and an extra $100 for the pro. By the way, I would recommend the pro for most people. They give you around $500-600 worth of upgrades for $100.

Great video. Having shot most of these guns, I totally agree with your list. I own both the Shield plus (my EDC) and recently picked up the Walther PDP-F 3.5 which is just an amazing gun. It's a bit large to be my EDC, but more comfortable and more accurate to shoot than my Shield Plus (which I love). The only personal issue I have with your list is that there is no way I can find the PDP for under $500, as they are going for around $665 - $680 in my area and what I found online. I guess you are lucky with those prices in your area Thanks!

The modularity for the P365 (and other pistols) is fantastic. With the new xMacro grio module Sig has kind of created an "ultimate" handgun for the "if you could only have 1" crowd. I can have one of the smallest lightest 9mm handguns on the market (some single stacks are smaller, but theyre single stack AND not modular so they lose points there) and i can scale up to an XL, or an xMacro, or even an "XXL macro" (or ANY combination thereof) all with the same FCU and only one "firearm" purchase. With my xMacro setup i can do literally everything a full-size handgun can do, and in less than 30 seconds i can swap to a tiny "base" P365 setup and have something super easy to conceal. Literally the only downside I've noticed with mine is the FCU can get hot enough that it's uncomfortable if im shooting A LOT. I truly think that because if the combination of reliability, accuracy, and quality mixed with the modularity of the FCU system i really do think the P365 is the best single gun on the market because it can do everything a handgun might need to do with the proper setup. Sig might have unintentionally shot themselves in the foot though because now the P365 is so good and so versatile that there's almost no reason to buy the P320 unless you just want a larger handgun (maybe you have gorilla hands) or if you want a 10mm (which is the only reason I'd buy a 320 anymore)

Good choices! I currently own (or have previously owned) everything on this list. Overall, I favor the M&P models. Thanks again!

Shield Plus is absolutely killing it! 10 and 13 round mags out the box, and they sell S&W produced 15rd mags with the extension cover that’s firmly attached to the mag, which gives it the largest grip on a micro pistol that I’m aware of!! Don’t need to worry about printing, then use the 15rd. Worried just a tiny bit about printing, use the 13rd. Worried about printing, use the 10rd! Bought one of these the first week they were on shelves, and it has pretty much replaced ALL my carry guns!!

I love watching Honest Outlaw shoot a shield plus lol makes me smile everytime i clip it to my belt.

Excellent choices! Disappointed to not see the Beretta APX A1 on here. Awesome pistol that's modular, optics ready, with great ergos, trigger, and sights with a street price below $450

M&P9 M2.0 Compact 3.6 I have is great. I bought mine used for around $300. Hasn’t failed me yet.

Very nice list. Thank you very much for the video.

I really appreciate you testing each and every one of these. Great video!

As usual, great job! I've been looking into both the Walther and CZ. Maybe, since a lot of these "top ten" videos cover typical conceal carry, you could do similar for rimfire. Many people don't give rimfire enough credit, but I think they're a blast. After all, shooting isn't always about self-defense, it's about having fun too.

The pdp is a very nice gun. Very accurate nice trigger. I love the one I bought for my wife. It has the expensive holosun on it and it’s just an easy transition from iron sights for people new to red dots. I everyday carry something smaller or I’d I have one as well. My winter time carry is my custom 19x with the rmr and the timney trigger. I think this is a great list for sure. One gun I haven’t ever had a chance to shoot is the m&p.

That's the thing I don't like about Glocks. First thing Id want to do is get a better trigger but I have a strict policy about modifications on carry/duty guns. Then having to pay $200+ to have the slide milled, now your into a $1k Glock, just my opinion though.

These videos have been extremely helpful. I'm currently looking for something affordable with good quality. Thanks for sharing these amazing videos with us and keep up the great work. 😊

The SC Canik is the first hand gun I bought and I love it❤❤❤

I take issue a little bit with the P365 listed as an "under $500" gun. Best I've seen it for is $499.99. I suppose, technically that makes it under $500, but the only way to get that price (that I've seen) is online which means there will be an FFL transfer fee on top of taxes. If you're finding the P365 and Walther PDP for under $500 out in Iowa, maybe it's time for me to move.

i truly believe cz has some of the best firearms, from the low end to the high end

I am a new Gun Owner, and I decided to buy the M&P Shield Plus w/ night sights and optic ready. Really glad it’s one of the best guns in the market right now especially being number 1 on this video!

I think I've shared this on here before, but I was a big glock guy before I shot the M&P 2.0. I bought the 3.6" and fell in love when I shot it. When my wife shot it she immediately demanded her own for ccw. My mom shot it, and bought a 4" model the next day. We all repaced various glocks with M&Ps. Glock rested on their laurels, and they've been outdone in my opinion.

PDP has been my carry gun for the last year maybe 2 and cannot be more excited to talk about it. It truly made me enjoy shooting with handguns again. I’m not the best shot with a pistol but I can usually get the job done, but I could never shoot my 365 (standard or XL) as accurate as I could a Taurus G2C, a P229, or a Glock. Idk what it was but the micro 9 just never worked for me. The PDP made me feel like I was a competition shooter. It’s the best thing I’ve gotten in hand and I’m very happy that it’s my do it all gun now

The APX has been on my list since it released. Still haven't had a chance to get one, yet, but heard nothing but good things about it.

Agree.i love my shield plus. Carry it all the time

I vacillate between the S&W Shield Plus OR and the IWI Masada S, also optics ready. The Shield Plus rides along with me more often than not now, but both are very shootable and easy to carry.

Very good list, I'm thinking of finally taking the plunge and getting a pistol for defense.

The p07 DC- DA/SA is my favorite on this list.

I carry a Shield Plus and have a Hellcat also in the rotation, as a part time pocket carry piece. The CZ P-07 is a gun that I've been researching a lot lately and have made it next on my purchase list. So going by this video I've made some good choices. :)

Got the newer shield plus and got the shield/ equalizer 15 rd magazine. Perfect edc set up.

Love my PDP Compact, upgraded it with a Harrington Arms Comp and slapped on a Surefire x300 Ultra. Currently using a Holosun 507 with the Vulcan ACSS reticle. Might swap to a Holosun EPS sight though.

I have a 507 on my PDP with the ACSS and love it.

I agree with you, it's a shame there is not more love for the DA/SA pistols. People think I'm crazy for carrying my steel frame/steel slide IWI Jericho mid size but I enjoy the "junk" protection that comes from a DA pistol. Granted, after watching your videos I do plan to get a pair of subcompacts being the Masada Slim and P-10S because I can't choose one over the other.

@mrrockguy9311

@SPARTANLuis067 if you can carry it and not print, why not right. And I can agree, the Jericho has too much sex appeal. Practical carry? Dependant on the size of the individual and the belt they wear. Me being 6' (more lankey than I'd like), it works with proper clothing and a good belt. It's the most proficient handgun I own so it makes the most sense to daily carry. Hope to change that in the future with some true subcompacts.

Thank you for being an honest outlaw.

Just got my cz p07 done through cz custom. And I absolutely love it.

Carry both the TP9 Elite SC & the P-07...the CZ does make me feel slightly safer for appendix

My personal EDC is the p365 with the 12rd magazine. My stepdad has a few carry pistols and this one felt perfect in my hands. I did upgrade the spring from magguts to make it a 14. I do prefer the p365 grip with a pinky extension over the p365xl grip, I do believe they are the same length. Plus I got it for free as a 21st birthday present 😂 i got his and he used that as an excuse to buy the xmacro.

I also carry a 365 with 12rd extension. For such a tiny pistol it’s dead on accurate out to 20yds for me. Grip angle makes it point extremely well and feels natural. I gave it the nickname Mighty Mouse

Stupendous content! I wish KZread gave awards for content quality. You’d win the guntuber editorial award in my book.

I havent carried for a real long time. I just bought one of the last P07's in urban grey that exist. Comes Monday. I am excited to put it through its paces. I really prefer the hammer over the striker fired guns. Double strike functionality is awesome.

I'm really digging the beretta apx a1 with burris fastfire 3 red dot $530 with a $100 rebate. $430 full size 9mm red dot included front serrations and rail. Anyway, great list, I really enjoy the videos.

You should try the p365 with the Wilson module. It went from good to perfect for me. The module design melts into your hand.

Looks sexier too but unfortunately the texture on the grip digs into my skin.

I just competed in my first USPSA competition with my full size Walther PDP with 4.5" barrel and Holosun 507c x2 and did what I would consider very well.
