My current carry is a TT-33 built by the Tula Arms Plant in 1942. My carry used to be my great grandfather's M1911A1 from WWII, but it was old, and beat up by the time I got it, and it doesn't like newer types of ammo. I'm looking at a Makarov PM to replace my TT-33 since the TT-33 is aging rather badly, and is completely worn down. I had a Luger P08 built in 1923, but I had to sell that to make my house, car, gas & electric, water, and cable bills. I wanted to carry the Luger as my carry gun, but it seemed too bulky, and I couldn't find a concealed holster that would fit it.

I never leave home without my 637. The G19 is my next purchase.

I just purchased a Glock 45 9mm for my conceal and carry. At work, we are issued Glock 22 .40 cal. I am so used to a full size duty weapon, I don’t mind a duty size gun as my conceal and carry. I also hate smaller handguns with smaller grips. It just feels weird in my hand. I really like the M&P 2.0’s. They feel very comfortable in my hand and that’s what I was originally going to purchase but it sold the day before I went in. The Glock 19 was #2 on my list but then the guy showed me the Glock 45. I loved everything about it. It felt great in my hand, I liked that it held more rounds and loved the new features. The slide lock on both sides, and a few other things. I will now be buying my wife one of these soon. She too really liked it. Smaller revolvers I do like to carry as a secondary conceal and carry gun though.

Very interesting and helpful information. I have carried a full size Glock 21 for nine years without an issue. Crossbreed IWB or Blackhawk Serpa OWB make it possible.

I use a revolver. The only things that could stop operation are getting something tangled in the hammer or poor quality ammo with a bad crimp causing the bullets to "pull" from the vases under recoil. This causes the bullet heads to stick out of the cylinder and stop rotation. Always check for this with whatever ammo you carry. Shoot a round or two and check the unfired ammo. I've actually seen tests where even expensive buffalo bore .38 special had bullet pull problems which seemed related to their soft lead.

I don't think the problem is the revolver itself.. the problem are the grips on the revolver.. for instance I have a Smith & Wesson 342 airlite Ti ...11 oz ( similar to the 642 hammerless centennial..but with titanium cylinder &aluminum alloy frame). It would be really hard to shoot except I installed hogue monogrips.. they are rubber grips that cover the back strap.. cushion your hand..absorb recoil... And you can get all your fingers on the grip! For excellent control.. I can accurately hit targets out to 50 ft!!

Great vid...here are my top two IMO that were never mentioned in your vid - I rotate between an HK P2000sk , and a M&P 9c, both in 9mm and both double stacks. Not a believer in single stack pistols - no capacity when you might need it in multiple attacker situations...

Though I have carried many of these guns on this list (or at least shot them before) I'd say my preffered every day carry is the Springfield XDM 3.3" Compact. The compact mag holds 13+1 in 9mm or 11+1 of .40 S&W. If you find yourself in big trouble, the full sized mag holds 19+1 9mm or 16+1 .40 S&W. If you own the .40 cal version, it only costs about $130 bucks for a .357 Sig barrel. The large mags have grip extensions to make it a full sized grip. It's a versatile platform, and advantage arms even makes a .22lr conversion kit as well.

G43 is a top gun for real concealed carry. Lightweight, slim, powerful. If you cannot protect yourself with 7 rounds, the machine gun will not help you either.

I gotta say...I love all guns and I’m not any kind of fanboy.... but I carry the glock 43 every day and it’s been nothing but a versatile, reliable, easy to shoot tool that is small enough for whatever mode of carry I need that day. Deep conceal, pocket, IWB, whatever I need it is great. I’m all in on the gun including pierce extensions, holsters and even a belt for less than 500 brand new. I know the shield faction and glock guys go back and forth, but the fact that I can easily pocket carry the gun in slacks was a huge selling point to me. I fully recommend the gun to anyone and I think you do yourself a disservice if you don’t at least check it out before you make this extremely essential purchase.

Finally, someone with something nice to say about Sig Sauer P239. I've carried a P239 in 357 Sig for the last 25 years and shoot it at least twice a month. The trigger is smooth like butter. After the thousands of round I've put through it, factory and hand loads, I've never had a malfunction of any kind. The only thing I didn't like about it were the grips and those were easily changed.

What about the Springfield XDS?

I was thinking the same thing. I just bought my daughter a Springfield XDS-9 Mod 2 in .45 ACP. It came with a laser sight & she loves it. It just took a little time to zero in her laser, but all is good.

As I was watching I thought to myself "I've been thinking about the rhino lately but he'd never recommend it" boy was I shocked at your #1 lol

I knew what #1 was before you said it. The best carry gun in my opinion is the one you carry every day and always have with you. I have had my CC permit for almost 20 years. I live in Florida, I am retired and I am in shorts and tee shirt most of the year. Since I bought my Ruger LCRx .38 special it has never left may side. I carry it in a belt slide OWB holster and pull tee shirt over top of it. I also carry one speed strip in my left front pocket. Would I rather have my G19, G27 or even my M&P Shield if I ever had to use it. Yes I would, but my little Ruger is the one gun that has become part of me and I never leave it behind.

Agreed, carry the G26, shoot the G19 at IDPA matches, and used to carry the 92F, 92D and 92G Compact, depending which i was shooting at a match. I rountinely carry the 642 or M60 as an alternative.

I agree revolvers are the best for conceal carry, but I love my Sig P226. It is very reliable, it's accuracy is more scary than the 40 caliber rounds it uses. Yes it kicks a little but it's pretty lightweight for a 40 cal and it is pretty big. I like the capacity it carries 12 rounds plus 1 in the chamber. In my honest opinion the Sig P226 is by far my favorite carry semi auto firearm.

So, no Shield? I remember a video that you said the only problem with this gun is that "It's not a Shield". The video you made about how S&W took your idea and made it happen (Which i do believe they did take your video as at least one reason to offer the NTS version) you said "Smith and Wesson may now have made the best sub compact carry gun on the market". That being said, no room for the Shield in your top ten? I guess not since it is not there but can i ask, what changed your mind on the Shield? Is it just that is is a singe stack? Did something happen that made you dislike the Shield? Thanks for sharing!

Then you cleared my concerns to explain it fired from the lower cylinder. Then I looked at it again, what a cool feature. I like it.

Because I pocket carry the Glock 26 is always in my front pocket. I have never tried the Rhino but it looks like a quality gun. I like my Glock also because I can carry larger mags if I need too. I really like all the other guns you have on the list.

That said the Chiappa 20 DS and white rhino guns I'm looking very heavily at semi concealed carry is not too big of an issue for me or full concealed carry I don't mind if my guns are slightly visible since I'm carry for Duty Carry and I won't get in trouble but I would really love to get anyone's opinions on what other guns I should consider as a backup for my 1911 obviously smaller 1911 would be a good other than some of them can be finicky but if you have any recommendations that be great I go it's Kimber called and Sig Sig happens to be my favorite 1911 but do you know an old series 70 Commando size or smaller Colt or a Kimber Ultra Carry or something like that I would have really consider as well as Sig p-239 I believe it is I'm also looking at the Sig Sauer p225 I found one that has a p 6 marking which means it was West German made and used by their military and police and they're generally collectors items very valuable very dependable and the parts are easy to get so sorry about the long message I'm talking to text and I'm doped up from my pain but thank you for reading and thank you for any replies happy holidays everyone :-).

Tac don’t forget 2 backup mags 3 throwing knifes and mace

Personal choice is a Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact 9mm. The 2.0 trigger upgrade made it my go-to carry pistol.

My PX4 storm is on my hip as I watch this. I have come to love it. Such an amazing gun. I am not going to say its the best gun, but for some reason I just love it. Maybe its the versatility and ease of use. I also wouldn't say its like a .22 but it definitely feels good to fire.

The Chiapa is pretty much the A-10 of Firearms. Ugly, but loveable. Will never let you down. Which makes it beautiful again. Like Yankee Marshall. XD

Best CCW is the one you shoot the best , aint it ?

I have the Beretta PX4 Storm in 40SW. I also appendix carry due to my frame size. I love that it has a safety that is easy to reach. It is also SA/DA hammer fired so holstering and upholstering this gun provides the extra safety i need for appendix carry. I use to carry a glock with an extended mag like you said, but i found that the PX4 is almost the same size as a Glock 27 with an extended mag, just one inch longer in the barrel. I am also left handed and the ease of switching parts, such as the mag drop is really nice. I may look at getting the PX4 in 9mm but currently i love the 40SW.

Sometimes I carry a .32ACP Beretta 3032, usually as a backup, but often as an alternative to grabbing a larger gun when I just want something that will slip into a pocket or even my sock, and it and an extra magazine fits in my sock. I travel a lot and stay in hotels. A 3032 that fires reliably is a fantastic little gun to have in a hotel. The 32ACP will expend most of its energy going through a wall, but 8 of them in your torso and face will take most the fight out of you. For a tiny little "mouse gun" the 3032 is probably the most concealable gun I would consider, without going down to .22LR, or ,25ACP. which I won't consider. Revolvers do have a few advantages over semi-autos. Semi-autos can be knocked or held out of battery. They can jam. Revolvers, just shoot. Banker's Special, Chief's Special, Airlite, 42, LCR, any of the snubnose .38 Spcl. to .357 revolvers are fabulous CCW guns.

I started carrying a 1911 45 cAL, then a charter arms 44 spl. now I carry a Bulgarian Makarov 9x18

Great list, great video. Some medical conditions afflicting concealed carriers are: Caliberitis - the swelling of calibers and powder loads among people who don't understand terminal ballistics, particularly those who believe there is such a thing as "stopping power." Capacititis - the swelling of magazines among people who don't train in stress shooting fundamentals, and are lucky to get one round into the target when the Shit Goes Down. Tactitis - the tendency to prepare for and believe you can handle a running gun battle with multiple attackers, using any handgun or combination of handguns.

Andy Robinson id say you're full of shit. But hey that's just my opinion.

My kel-tec P32, .32 caliber auto, 6.6 oz, has been protecting my pocket for decades. I haven't had to shoot it anywhere but the range. Nobody ever asked to try my other guns but when they see that kel-tec they line up ! Most hit a 30' zombi target, smile and ask "how much?". One guy's wife demanded he buy her one before leaving.

I carry a 3" Ruger SP101 in .357 mag very frequently. Swapped the grips for hogue nylon monogrips since the stock stocks sucked and fit poorly. It's extremely comfortable in my Fusion appendix holster to the point of forgetting it's there. Only 5 rounds but it's a step above a normal 2" .38.

My edc is a Ruger P-90 .45. I bought it new back in 1994 & I've had it ever since. It has NEVER misfired on me nor has it ever had a stovepipe. Just keep them cleaned & oiled & you're good. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The fact that you have Glock 26 as #2 and absolutely no garbage ass M&P shield on the list makes me happy beyond measure. 😁

My EDC is the Taurus PT-111 G2. Say what you want... I've put well over 5,000 rounds of cheap ammo thru this thing(even some steel case, and aluminum case), and it has NEVER had a malfunction, of any kind. It's the perfect size/capacity ratio, and it can be carried in a decocked condition(if you know what you're doing). I actually own 3 Taurus handguns, and they have been pure perfection. Present day Taurus IS NOT the Taurus of old. They have came a long way. My new TX-22 has over 1,500 rounds thru it(95% bulk ammo). Actually, 8 different kinds of cheap ammo, and I've had ZERO problems, of any kind. Not even a light strike! No other .22 handgun can do that. Period. And, the trigger reset is amazing!!! And, my model 66 7 shot 4" .357 is my woods carry gun, and I can shoot it more accurately than other handgun that I own. I was surprised that the Shield wasn't on this list...

I'd like to point out that larger, heavier guns make for great CCW as well. I'm 5'10 " and 170 lbs. I can hide a Springfield XDM 3.8 comfortably all day long. It carries 20 rounds, is built like a tank, and it's never, ever, ever failed to fire every trigger pull no matter what I feed it. Even my trusty Glock jams up once or twice a year. I live in florida and I can even clip holster it to a pair of elastic gym shorts without it falling or pulling them down. 20 rounds, no manual safety, never fails. Just my 2 cents.

Good idea! I would rather carry in a pocket than in a holster.

My top 10, would probably be very different than yours. But, I like your choices. There are so many great choices, I'd have a real tough time narrowing to just 10 great carry guns. I think personal tastes are a HUGE part of the choice.

You have handled and carried a lot of different guns, I've got to respect that list. Thanks for sharing.

Yep I agree on the baby glocks at #2. I love my glock 27

One thing few people mention about the j frame......they are comfortable. It's size and contour are very easy to carry.

While I disagree with you’re number one pick, I do agree with, and appreciate your support for animal shelters. Both of my dogs are rescues. And my number 1 pick is, of course whatever you will carry. My personal favorite is the Smith and Wesson M&P9C. Bigger than a Shield, smaller than a Glock 19.

I was denied my CCW permit. Yeah, apparently they don't allow an RPG and a backpack full of 2 rounds. Sucks.

I do have a Canik TP9SF 9mm that has 18+1 capacity if I think the capacity might be necessary, but most of time, I just sport the 638 because the Canik is large. It’s not as heavy as my Ruger GP100, but it is bigger.

I currently carry the beretta 84bb, it is a great carry gun. The one con is that there is no decocker lever, you have to do it manually

CCW is totally different from duty or concealed duty carry- as a retired LEO who spent 10 years in dignitary protection, what I choose for concealed duty and off-duty concealed carry are very different - and for off-duty, personal protection, the Rhino is hard to beat. Statistically, off-duty I won't need all 6 rounds, and the barrel being at the 6' makes all the difference in the world allowing me to rapid fire 6 .357 rounds with chilling speed and accuracy.
