What a great gun time we live in (other than politics I mean…but in terms of options). Almost all the arguments between most pistols nowadays are pure preference and personal ergonomics. Sometimes I like the thinness of a 43x or a Shield. Sometimes I like the short, fat 26 with an extended 19 mag as a backup. Sometimes I like the sexy Sig P938. Sometimes I want the manly G20 full of 10mm in the woods. Sometimes I pocket a Sig 238 .380 when I am in sweats. And sometimes the nostalgia of a true classic 1911. Options are awesome.
@@BlueRidgeCritter I say it all the time when people brag about how reliable Glocks are. Pretty much everything is reliable now days, with rare exception s.
@@psycomutt there’s truth to that. I still prefer Glocks over the others, partly because they’re so easy to fix if something does go wrong. All the others, you end up having to send back to the motherships. But in terms of reliability, the field really has changed in the past few years. 40 or 50 years ago, one misfeed or problem in 50 rounds, and most people were perfectly happy with it. Now, we talk in terms of one in 500 rounds or more, and we agonize over that.
Sounds like solid choices to me and I carry some of the same. Belt EDC is Hellcat w/ red dot, upgraded trigger, and HYVE mag extension. Pocket gun is LCP2 upgraded trigger, guide rod and spring. Bedside is a Legion XFive, light, upgraded trigger and 21rd mag and also a DDM4 V7 with red dot and light that the girlfriend handles and shoots very well. Gotta upgrade the trigger on the DD. Seems to be a theme here.
Whoa slow down there buddy, we can't be having you defend yourself against us, The State, after defending yourself against that white supremacist. How else are we supposed to lock you up?!
Just got a 43x yesterday and just got back from my ebike while carrying it. Best EDC Gun ever. I don’t need no bells and whistles when it comes to my carry gun. This 43x is perfect, it’s big enough so I know it’s there, but small enough that it isn’t dragging my pants down or feels like it’s stabbing my gut. Basically everything I hate about carrying a fully loaded g19 disappeared when rocking the 43x. I recommend it !
@@MrFat1337 I’m 20 and I’m gonna start collecting next year when I turn 21. My first buys will be the p365x, 43x and 19x, in no specific order😂. Glad to know the 43x is exactly how I imagine it is.
Very nice selection. I have a 43X, 365 SAS, and a LCP for those same reasons. Love that the LCP can slip anywhere with a sticky holster as a trigger guard. It goes to the gym every day. Different situations require different tools for the job.

@@trs_3440 I have a Sig M17, they make a very nice gun. I like Sig more than Smith for an auto loader, but my favorite revolvers are definitely from S&W.
@@actsda1357 I personally like the trigger more on the Sig. I have the M&P 2.0 compact with a stock trigger. Nice, reliable gun - I got it a little cheaper than my M17. Both guns are stock, I haven’t tried any aftermarket triggers on the either one. I’ve let a few friends try both and we all seem to be a little more accurate with the Sig - it just has in my opinion an overall better, crisper stock trigger.
Bad choice for a gas station gun. They are the most dangerous places to be at, many robberies, car jacking, etc go down in gas stations. I always want something with more capacity while at them.
Love the bed side gun, how considerate of you to suppress it and not wake the whole hotel lol. I recently got a g45 myself, I'm a big guy so this fits me probably how the 43x fits you.

I have two I carry; one for winter, one for summer and then there's the master bedroom gun, office gun (next to master bedroom), first floor gun and basement guns. All my in house guns are 45s (M&P, and 1911s) my carry is a Pro Series SW1911 3", and a Performance Center SW1911 Commander. Though I seem to be carrying my Shiel 9 gen one most often, now that I have a red dot on it I too keep a pocket pistol for the rare lazy times but here in Ma it's a SW M&P 380. All the other guns are for fun because you only need ONE MORE ;)
I've got my tricked out CZ P07 for my bigger, do it all pistol. It's got a red dot and shoots like a dream, almost no muzzle flip. Taurus GX4 for a tiny micro with red dot that I can shoot effectively. Springfield EMP 9mm for a slim pistol that's barely bigger than the GX4 that shoots amazing. 10 rounds of 9mm can get it done, plus the extra 9 round magazine.

I had a hard time choosing my concealed carry but after shooting my FNX tactical it felt better than my S&W so I bought 509c. It has a 3.7” barrel it’s between too small and the slightly big feel. Apex makes a threaded barrel for the 3.7” so if I ever decide I want that it’s an easy swap. Also finding a compact gun that feels full size was amazing feeling and I couldn’t say no at that point lol
@@kable1173 how are you liking the shield plus? I bought it as well a couple months ago, only have shot about 35 rounds through it and I'm not sure on it now... I'm going to give it another chance at the range.
I was against the hellcat and 365 and kept the g19 faithfully.. but what I realized after getting the 365 is that it was with me every day, not in glove box not on the nightstand cause I’m only going to the store.
Yep. Me too. Got it in a custom Keyhole hybrid holster. I love both. The leather is so soft against your body and the kydex job he does is incredible. I love that you choose every aspect of how you want your holster. For under $100 you can’t beat it. What were we talking about again?…
That’s one of my primary carry guns, in rotation with a G43, and S&W Bodyguard .380. All great guns in my opinion. So many great choices available to us today!
I'm simple and had surgery on strong side thumb. That takes my 1911 out of picture. Sig 365xl with red dot is go to gun. More clothes with coat, Sig 320 with dot. I'm old school so I still carry a 38 6 shot with +p and 2 speed loaders. Carry that in the bushes with bird shot for snakes. That bird shot is also a fine anti carjack load with #4's. Gun owners unite!! Carry what your good with and carry what you have! A 22 in your pocket beats a 454 in your glove box!

As a man of smaller stature, I’m somewhat limited in what I can carry concealed. My EDC rotation is 1. Taurus GX4 w/13 rd extended magazines; 2. Glock 48 w/Shield Arms S15 rd magazines, and; 3. Glock 43 w/Shield Arms S9 magazines. They’re all reliable, and meet my needs depending on what I wear.
love it! For me it's the SIG P365 or the SIG P365XL. Once I get home, and for the bedside table, I have the Walther PDP full size. The Walther also gets some love during the coldest weeks of winter. We won't talk about all the others, and yes they all have a purpose real or imaginary! 10mm, 12 gauge, 556, etc, can all be useful !
I have 4 in my rotation (Springfield 911 9mm, Walther PPS 9mm, Smith & Wesson SW99c 9mm, and Ruger LCP II). The LCP II is so easy to carry that I end up with that in my pocket 80% of the time.
Thanks for adding the FN509C, I have a 509C that I love, very accurate and shooter friendly. This gun does not get a lot of press but it is a very fine firearm. I am a precision pistol shooter and though this is not a target gun it is impressive at 25 yards. Thanks for giving a shoutout to FN!
@@KingCaz01 You really need to watch reviews for the Walther PDP-F series. Most reviews mention it's even better than the PDP. Better grip, easier reach to the best stock trigger on the market and SICK accuracy right out of the box. Walther quality is well known. Their customer service is exceptional as well.
I also like the Ruger LCP but I shoot a lot and can ignore the recoil from the small frame. A revolver is also worth considering. For the recoil sensitive a .327 magnum is nice, loaded with .32 or .32 mag. if you really want to throttle it back.
No one ever mentions the FN Compact 9. I never used one until last year. I bought it because as a machine gunner in the Marines, our 240Bs are made by FN. I love it
Shield Plus for me all day (until the Canik Mete MC9 comes out). I like the Hellcat but for whatever reason I don't shoot as well with it as others seem to.
You won't have any righys left if you don't contact the senators trying to negotiate our rights away. They have the votes, so go watch Guns and Gadgets for the list of traitors to cotact. The left is loud, and we must be louder!
Being on SS I can’t afford all the guns you’ve showed. With that said I find that I could afford a HI- POINT model C-9. It shoots good but I find the grips it’s a little too big for my hand. The day I bought this gun at a tractor supply store I also bought the 380. I do not carry because I don’t have a training I only have the guns for home defense. I prefer the 380 because it fits my hand better but as soon as my grandson at the time was 16 he fell in love with it and I told him when he turned 18 and graduated high school he could have it a long with my 1972 International scout II. Luckily for him he graduated this year Unlucky for me and I lost my scout and my 380 gladly. You’ll never catch that boy out deer or elk hunting without that 380 on his hip. I don’t know if you’ve ever done it but I’d like to see a video on the lower price hand guns that people on a fixed income that they can afford. Thanks John
Charter Arms Off Duty .38 Special.. Right around the same price point as a Hi-Point C9, and it won't be a 50/50 chance of malfunctioning like the aforementioned C9. Easier to conceal and fits small hands better too.

Thanks you my man for great and honest gun reviews. I watch a lot of different people give their opinions about firearms and most are very helpful but you have a unique quality and perception when it comes to how you fairly view each weapon and situation. Plus you don’t give off that overly macho and "I know it all" attitude like some. Keep up the good work!
I love that my top three concealed carry options made the list. And depending on my outfit...determines what I'm carrying as well. My LCP2 usually fits my exercise routine daily. Love this video.
Bodyguard 38S for me most the time. Much much easier to shoot well than my LCP Max. Am interested in a hellcat pro. Typically I carry a Canik TP9SC or a glock 19 depending on what I'm wearing. Winter I fool around and carry full sized pistols, but I could conceal an AR or PCC in the winter lol
I have three carry guns in my rotation. A S&W 636 J-frame 5 shot 38spl, for around the house. A G43 depending on what I am wearing and going. A G19 for every trip to a city, which I try to keep at a minimum, and around the ranch. I live in S. Texas, 60 miles from the border. It is me and the wife at the ranch. My truck has a scabbard for an AR and a Mossberg 590A1, MED bag on the back of passenger seat. IT is a war zone down here. Another massive caravan is on the way. Everyone will go to max alert down here, body armor, two person ops, someone pulling night watch. Never thought my home would be like being Iraq, but that is where we are at these days. I will not quit.

What I love about the Sig P365 is that you can configure it to be super small for concealment, or put an XL or similar Grip on it, along with a XL or Macro slide, you have a very capable setup.
My man's is never lackin. Keepin your head on a swivel an always stayin on your toes. Never know what can happen. Especially the way people are just committing armed robberies in pure daylight.
I think you, Demo Ranch, and Kentucky Ballistics should do a collaboration. You with your 2nd amendment knowledge and them with their 2nd amendment content and equipment...at Demo Ranch's range, putting on a 2nd amendment talk...GLORIOUS.
These goofballs don't care about the 2nd amendment, they're just making bank pandering to gun enthusiasts. As soon as gun laws tighten up these clowns will fold.
Demo ranch and Kentucky they never talk about guns rights or advocate them, they stay out the political spectrum like coward and only leech of the firearms community, what they do is the same like, have a wife that you don't have to do anything or spend any money, but when you need them in bed or cook for you they alway there, all the benefits with out the cons.
Another great video! Summer carry: Glock 43x with Zaffiri slide and barrel and Shield Arms mags. Fall/Winter carry: Glock 19 stock. Full load out: Canik TP9SFL with a TLR1 and extra 20-rd mags.
I'm new to your videos but I've watched a few. I haven't seen anything I would really disagree with in your overviews. For that ... Good on ya! Guns and holsters are such a personal matter of choices that there simply isn't a right or wrong in it. Just carry it, whatever it is. Train with it/them and carry it. Keep it in primo working order and carry it. Understand it's capabilities and limitations and .. yep you guessed it .. carry it. Hey ... did I mention: Carry IT! I learned years ago that concealed carry could be oriented to "fast" or "comfortable" or something in between. Subsequently I arrived at: My own personal comfort happens in my mind more than what my carry method is and what I'm carrying so I follow that direction. I train regularly with the guns and the carry methods I utilize. I have a couple primary carry guns, the main is a Glock G29.. She's kinda fat and weighs a bit more than lightweights but .. I trust her. I have a Glock G21 that is usually .40 but some days .357 sig. depending on my mood or what videos I've been watching lately. If I want to go a little lighter I carry a Hellcat with a 15 rnd mag. I have a Ruger LCP that fits in a very handsome looking patent leather case, it goes to weddings, funerals and the like with me. So very unobtrusive. For bedtime I sleep pretty sound with a Glock G30s on the bed frame and my two dog alarm system. All my Glocks are slightly modified to suit me. Carry what suits you, what you train with, what you know, what you like. If it isn't just right but mostly, modify it so it is "Just Right". Just don't go out without it, it's become a dangerous world out there. That's my two cents.
After an awkward situation at a local convenience store I purchased my first EDC. Taurus G3C. So far been great budget buy. Hope I never have to use it.
@@chunkymonn5177 i see! Lol ive got a whole week immersing myself in all these type of videos on safety, range, etc. But like you said this will be a lifelong journey! 😎🙏🏼
I have a similar battery of carry guns. Like your selection they all operate in a similar fashion but vary in size and in some cases calibers. Keeping carry guns with the same type of operation keeps your muscle memory from training consistent.
Love your selections, I would purchase a silencer myself but was told it's illegal to take out of state at my local gun store. As an over the road truck driver from FL in shorts it's always the lcp 2, anything with a belt it's the p320 x-compact. Retired my xds 45 and my overly heavy warthog double stack 1911. Is my local gun store wrong about crossing state lines with a can?
I carry a p365 because it is easy to deep conceal, reliable, and shoots a round I feel has enough power to stop someone. There are a lot of things I don’t like about it, but from a pragmatic standpoint it’s the right fit.
Try carrying a CZ SP01 tactical 19 round magazine!! I am 510, 190 pounds and I carry this is my every day even though it’s a full-size gun concealed with a Holosun red dot..you may like it for your home gun or your self-defense when you’re on the road in a hotel or something like that.
You can replace that 43x with a XL grip module for your 365. With just buying the grip module you get 2 more rounds per mag with the 365x and more capabilities. I bought a 365 for pocket carry. As I work in a gun store, we open carry, I find myself IWB my 365 more. So I bought a XL grip module and threw on my 365 slide assembly. Basically a 365x without the optics capability.
I have 2 I rotate,hellcat and p365xl w/red dot. I do love the look of the hellcat. Hellcat I carry when wearing jeans and 365 when in shorts. They are similar size but 365 is more comfortable with shorts.
I'm a Glock fan. Not a fanboy, I just shoot Glocks better. I am looking for something smaller than my 19mos. now. Open to all ideas but have narrowed it down to Glock 43x, Sig 365 and Hellcat. I am still willing to consider other options and with some range time I could wind up with something not on my list. Glad the 365 works for you, might work the best for me too! I am not a novice, but I am far from an expert and realize there are other decent firearms on the market.
Meh.. wasnt feeling them much! Except the 365, but i respect your professional opinion man! 365XL compe should be on there! Flush conceal 13 rounds. Have an 18 round extended mag. Whicu would ALSO make it a bedside gun!
Glock 23, 10 rds (Ca) with spare mag held nicely in a Tier One Elite Axis AIWB holster. Never a concealment issue, 99% of people are NOT looking at you or your waistline. 😊
I'm likely going to pick up a Taurus G3. Not monsterous but not a peashooter and has amazing reliability compared to the original Taurus lineup and can be bought around $300.
A dear friend who is LE told me once, “If you need to reload after shooting 7 or 8 times, it’s time to start negotiating”. Can’t imagine needing 10+ rounds in a magazine… You might consider changing your travel routes.😊
LOL I carry what I carry everyday, sometimes have the back up which is the same every time for me. Sheriff's Department uses the same, so it's only a different way of carry on duty or off duty. It should for the average shooter, clear leather, hit, hit -- you can't hit if you don't have the tool and know how to hit with it. I have the top one, it goes boom hit boom hit, I'll carry it.
My rotational selections are, in no particular order: 1. XDs9 Mod.2 3.3 2. XD9 Mod.2 4.0 3. Colt 1911A1 4. S&W 586 .357 mag 4" 5. Israeli surplus FN High Power 9mm What do I carry most often, #2.
When I was young I was trying to conceal a Beretta. Now that I'm older I generally have a 32 in my pocket or a .38 on my hip but I don't live in the middle of a crazy city where people get car jacked, or gang bangers have shootouts daily. If I'm going on the road out of town though it's back to the Glock 26.
Never hurts to have options that fit the situations you find yourself in.
What a great gun time we live in (other than politics I mean…but in terms of options). Almost all the arguments between most pistols nowadays are pure preference and personal ergonomics. Sometimes I like the thinness of a 43x or a Shield. Sometimes I like the short, fat 26 with an extended 19 mag as a backup. Sometimes I like the sexy Sig P938.

I was against the hellcat and 365 and kept the g19 faithfully.. but what I realized after getting the 365 is that it was with me every day, not in glove box not on the nightstand cause I’m only going to the store.
The best part of the sig is that it goes off randomly in your holster, like a surprise birthday party.
Got so excited when I saw the 43x, gonna pick one up here pretty soon for Summer carry !
Make sure to put a light and optic on it.
I started carrying the M&P Shield Plus. Small size while maintaining good mag capacity. Decent accuracy for it's size and great "hand feel".
I carry the same.
Yep. Me too. Got it in a custom Keyhole hybrid holster. I love both. The leather is so soft against your body and the kydex job he does is incredible. I love that you choose every aspect of how you want your holster. For under $100 you can’t beat it. What were we talking about again?…
That’s my EDC IWB with the EZ 2.0 Shield 8 with 1 in the pipe
EZ 9 2.0… EDC… I rotate holsters… OWB… kydex for around the house, work or winter… leather for as concealed as it gets , summertime
That’s one of my primary carry guns, in rotation with a G43, and S&W Bodyguard .380. All great guns in my opinion. So many great choices available to us today!
For an inexpensive Option, I find the Bursa Thunder to be pretty solid.
It's all metal and so easy to shoot.
Yea it's great
Totally agree!
Lol that gun is trash 🗑
I'm simple and had surgery on strong side thumb. That takes my 1911 out of picture. Sig 365xl with red dot is go to gun. More clothes with coat, Sig 320 with dot. I'm old school so I still carry a 38 6 shot with +p and 2 speed loaders. Carry that in the bushes with bird shot for snakes. That bird shot is also a fine anti carjack load with #4's. Gun owners unite!! Carry what your good with and carry what you have! A 22 in your pocket beats a 454 in your glove box!

I’ve said this before but it needs to be said again: You are a role model and a hero and an invaluable asset to our country. Thank you for all you do.
There we go using the word hero for every Tom, Dick and harry.
We can like him and what he contributes but a hero???
Save that for what really counts
@@henrycruz45cal but he is a hero because he is taking action (creating interest in and expressing the benefits of) in support of a right that is under all-out attack. Don’t forget the esteemed position we place Hamilton, Madison, and Jay for their publications.
This guy rotates his guns more than I rotate my underwear.
As a man of smaller stature, I’m somewhat limited in what I can carry concealed. My EDC rotation is 1. Taurus GX4 w/13 rd extended magazines; 2. Glock 48 w/Shield Arms S15 rd magazines, and; 3. Glock 43 w/Shield Arms S9 magazines. They’re all reliable, and meet my needs depending on what I wear.
Hellcat pro is my carry on choice absolutely love that gun.
love it! For me it's the SIG P365 or the SIG P365XL. Once I get home, and for the bedside table, I have the Walther PDP full size. The Walther also gets some love during the coldest weeks of winter. We won't talk about all the others, and yes they all have a purpose real or imaginary! 10mm, 12 gauge, 556, etc, can all be useful !
I have 4 in my rotation (Springfield 911 9mm, Walther PPS 9mm, Smith & Wesson SW99c 9mm, and Ruger LCP II). The LCP II is so easy to carry that I end up with that in my pocket 80% of the time.
Thanks for adding the FN509C, I have a 509C that I love, very accurate and shooter friendly. This gun does not get a lot of press but it is a very fine firearm. I am a precision pistol shooter and though this is not a target gun it is impressive at 25 yards. Thanks for giving a shoutout to FN!
Worth getting for my first conceal carry? I have a 19x but isn’t cutting it
@@KingCaz01 I’d look into an H&K or a Glock instead
@@KingCaz01 FNs are garbage. Definitely better guns out there.
@@KingCaz01 You really need to watch reviews for the Walther PDP-F series.
Most reviews mention it's even better than the PDP.
Better grip, easier reach to the best stock trigger on the market and SICK accuracy right out of the box.
Walther quality is well known.
Their customer service is exceptional as well.
I also like the Ruger LCP but I shoot a lot and can ignore the recoil from the small frame. A revolver is also worth considering. For the recoil sensitive a .327 magnum is nice, loaded with .32 or .32 mag. if you really want to throttle it back.
No one ever mentions the FN Compact 9. I never used one until last year. I bought it because as a machine gunner in the Marines, our 240Bs are made by FN. I love it
Shield Plus for me all day (until the Canik Mete MC9 comes out). I like the Hellcat but for whatever reason I don't shoot as well with it as others seem to.
Rich people flex I’ll get there one of these days. I can only rotate my Glock 23 and MP Shield plus
@@DW133_ you will never be happy hence your miserable disposition
Just train with them and don't suck. Money wont matter much in a firefight.

You won't have any righys left if you don't contact the senators trying to negotiate our rights away. They have the votes, so go watch Guns and Gadgets for the list of traitors to cotact. The left is loud, and we must be louder!
Being on SS I can’t afford all the guns you’ve showed. With that said I find that I could afford a HI- POINT model C-9. It shoots good but I find the grips it’s a little too big for my hand. The day I bought this gun at a tractor supply store I also bought the 380. I do not carry because I don’t have a training I only have the guns for home defense. I prefer the 380 because it fits my hand better but as soon as my grandson at the time was 16 he fell in love with it and I told him when he turned 18 and graduated high school he could have it a long with my 1972 International scout II. Luckily for him he graduated this year Unlucky for me and I lost my scout and my 380 gladly. You’ll never catch that boy out deer or elk hunting without that 380 on his hip. I don’t know if you’ve ever done it but I’d like to see a video on the lower price hand guns that people on a fixed income that they can afford. Thanks John
Or just a $100 more and get a police trade in Glock that won’t get you killed.
@Mike 1979 Glock 21? You .45 ACP fanboys...
Taurus g series is great if you’re on a budget
The Ruger LCP is cheap and a reliable brand and Top notch customer service PSA website had it for $299 memorial day
Charter Arms Off Duty .38 Special.. Right around the same price point as a Hi-Point C9, and it won't be a 50/50 chance of malfunctioning like the aforementioned C9. Easier to conceal and fits small hands better too.

Thanks you my man for great and honest gun reviews. I watch a lot of different people give their opinions about firearms and most are very helpful but you have a unique quality and perception when it comes to how you fairly view each weapon and situation. Plus you don’t give off that overly macho and "I know it all" attitude like some. Keep up the good work!
I love that my top three concealed carry options made the list. And depending on my outfit...determines what I'm carrying as well. My LCP2 usually fits my exercise routine daily. Love this video.
I only just use the one, but if I ever want to feel bougie I may consider having a rotation.
Need a change of lifestyle if that many guns are needed 🤣
1.) staccato cs
2.) hellcat
3.) glock 19
4.) glock 20 for open carry in the woods
5.) glock 21 for general purpose open carry
Bodyguard 38S for me most the time. Much much easier to shoot well than my LCP Max. Am interested in a hellcat pro. Typically I carry a Canik TP9SC or a glock 19 depending on what I'm wearing.
Winter I fool around and carry full sized pistols, but I could conceal an AR or PCC in the winter lol
I have three carry guns in my rotation. A S&W 636 J-frame 5 shot 38spl, for around the house. A G43 depending on what I am wearing and going. A G19 for every trip to a city, which I try to keep at a minimum, and around the ranch. I live in S. Texas, 60 miles from the border. It is me and the wife at the ranch. My truck has a scabbard for an AR and a Mossberg 590A1, MED bag on the back of passenger seat. IT is a war zone down here. Another massive caravan is on the way. Everyone will go to max alert down here, body armor, two person ops, someone pulling night watch. Never thought my home would be like being Iraq, but that is where we are at these days. I will not quit.
That's a very sad situation for our country at the border and obviously preventable. Prayers for you and your family down there.
@@melsmith3662 Thanks Mel. The Maverick County Sherrif is taking folks as sworn deputies to assist. If you have the right background skills (military or law enforcement). We have 5 deputies and the Sherrif. That is it! It is a BIG county in size. We don't have money to pay folks but volunteers are always welcome. Some come and go as they can fit it in their schedules/lives. I did 28yrs in the Army, infantry, but I am getting to be an old fart, 60yrs old, three back surgeries and a shoulder rebuilt and bad feet and arthritis, so I have all I can handle at my place. Tell your friends. Take care friend.
@@sisleymichael That's a horrible situation! I wish I lived closer. I'm in Idaho. My husband is a former marine scout sniper. He has friends in Texas. I'll have to let him know about the situation. It's so sad that our government is just letting this happen. 💔
self defense gun is not about killing and going after the aggressor, but provide cover fire & deterrer any threats till law in enforcement or larger weapon in vehicle or safe
What I love about the Sig P365 is that you can configure it to be super small for concealment, or put an XL or similar Grip on it, along with a XL or Macro slide, you have a very capable setup.
My man's is never lackin. Keepin your head on a swivel an always stayin on your toes. Never know what can happen. Especially the way people are just committing armed robberies in pure daylight.
I think you, Demo Ranch, and Kentucky Ballistics should do a collaboration. You with your 2nd amendment knowledge and them with their 2nd amendment content and equipment...at Demo Ranch's range, putting on a 2nd amendment talk...GLORIOUS.
Hickock45
These goofballs don't care about the 2nd amendment, they're just making bank pandering to gun enthusiasts. As soon as gun laws tighten up these clowns will fold.
Agreed-- and don't forget Hickock45!!!💯🎯🎯🎯
Oooo. If you add Hickock45 you'd have the most epic group EVER. Add Jerry Miculek...I might just travel 1,000 miles to be near that group..lol
Demo ranch and Kentucky they never talk about guns rights or advocate them, they stay out the political spectrum like coward and only leech of the firearms community, what they do is the same like, have a wife that you don't have to do anything or spend any money, but when you need them in bed or cook for you they alway there, all the benefits with out the cons.
That little hotel suppressor setup was sick.
Another great video!
Summer carry: Glock 43x with Zaffiri slide and barrel and Shield Arms mags.
Fall/Winter carry: Glock 19 stock.
Full load out: Canik TP9SFL with a TLR1 and extra 20-rd mags.

@@yosoytdut Shield Arms mags have been 100% reliable in my personal experience.
This video is dope af! I gotta find some lessons in my area- they just start making it easier to get your permit in ny
I'm new to your videos but I've watched a few. I haven't seen anything I would really disagree with in your overviews. For that ... Good on ya!
Guns and holsters are such a personal matter of choices that there simply isn't a right or wrong in it. Just carry it, whatever it is. Train with it/them and carry it. Keep it in primo working order and carry it. Understand it's capabilities and limitations and .. yep you guessed it .. carry it. Hey ... did I mention: Carry IT!
I learned years ago that concealed carry could be oriented to "fast" or "comfortable" or something in between. Subsequently I arrived at: My own personal comfort happens in my mind more than what my carry method is and what I'm carrying so I follow that direction. I train regularly with the guns and the carry methods I utilize. I have a couple primary carry guns, the main is a Glock G29.. She's kinda fat and weighs a bit more than lightweights but .. I trust her. I have a Glock G21 that is usually .40 but some days .357 sig. depending on my mood or what videos I've been watching lately. If I want to go a little lighter I carry a Hellcat with a 15 rnd mag. I have a Ruger LCP that fits in a very handsome looking patent leather case, it goes to weddings, funerals and the like with me. So very unobtrusive.
For bedtime I sleep pretty sound with a Glock G30s on the bed frame and my two dog alarm system.
All my Glocks are slightly modified to suit me.
Carry what suits you, what you train with, what you know, what you like. If it isn't just right but mostly, modify it so it is "Just Right". Just don't go out without it, it's become a dangerous world out there.
That's my two cents.
Where I wrote G21 is actually a typo that should have read G27 .. doh.
After an awkward situation at a local convenience store I purchased my first EDC. Taurus G3C. So far been great budget buy. Hope I never have to use it.
I have G2C for awhile nice firearm
I had no idea suppressors were legal 🤯🤯 (just getting into the gun culture 😎)
This video was amazing! #Goals
welcome ! there's tons of stuff to learn, you never seem to finish learning. Hope you enjoy the world of firearms !
@@chunkymonn5177 i see! Lol ive got a whole week immersing myself in all these type of videos on safety, range, etc. But like you said this will be a lifelong journey! 😎🙏🏼
They aren't legal in all states but they are legal. Enjoy the wait of getting your tax stamp so you can actually pick it up though 😉
S&W shield plus 9mm is my go to carry gun.
Love how much thought you put into selecting your guns, just shows how educated you are, good shit!
I LOVE YOU COLION AND ALL YOUR GUNS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR 2nd Amendment community!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a similar battery of carry guns. Like your selection they all operate in a similar fashion but vary in size and in some cases calibers. Keeping carry guns with the same type of operation keeps your muscle memory from training consistent.
I love ur vids cuz you speak so much clearer then others and your attitude feels very educational and friendly. Keep making vids

Love your selections, I would purchase a silencer myself but was told it's illegal to take out of state at my local gun store. As an over the road truck driver from FL in shorts it's always the lcp 2, anything with a belt it's the p320 x-compact. Retired my xds 45 and my overly heavy warthog double stack 1911. Is my local gun store wrong about crossing state lines with a can?
I want everyone to know I'm in a gun fight.
I cant replace my XDS 3.3 .45cal yet...expensive but durable as hell
I carry a p365 because it is easy to deep conceal, reliable, and shoots a round I feel has enough power to stop someone. There are a lot of things I don’t like about it, but from a pragmatic standpoint it’s the right fit.
Dude broke out that suppressor in the hotel John wick style. Love it
My rotation is G45, FN 509 Tactical with red dot, H&K VP9, primarily. I too carry different ones depending on where I am going. I have my reasons. :)
VP9 SK...big but BAD ass!!
Can’t believe you don’t have a 22lr in your carry it’s nice to have something that you can just shoot and not have ear damage to the maximum
Springfield Armory xd-m elite. 45 and Springfield Armory 9mm Hellcat
I only carry a gen4 Glock 21 with Federal Punch & a back up mag with Civil Liberty. The only way to leave the house
I stopped carrying civil after Paul Harrell's youtube video, HST is my only load for my 9.
Just bought an FN 509 Compact it’s a dream to carry and shoot
Hey Big C that 365 is the beaver tail bro. When I fire mine I basically do a 15 degree recant to the left and drive racks at 10 yards
Dude I'm a hard-core runner and have been wonderin what to carry, thanks man.
Very well put together and concise video
The HellCat for CCW is amazing.
I think I'm going to buy the hellcat pro comp for my conceal carry. Enjoyed the video!
The Smith & Wesson M&P shield plus 3.1 is a beautiful gun
Shield 2.0 in the summer, CZ P10C in winter 🤙🏽
Racked the slide on the LCP.....
A video of the pros and cons of 1 in the chamber would be good to see.
13rd base plate from regular hellcat on the 15rd mag 17rd mag fro the hellcat w/o aftermarket parts!
Try carrying a CZ SP01 tactical 19 round magazine!! I am 510, 190 pounds and I carry this is my every day even though it’s a full-size gun concealed with a Holosun red dot..you may like it for your home gun or your self-defense when you’re on the road in a hotel or something like that.
You can replace that 43x with a XL grip module for your 365. With just buying the grip module you get 2 more rounds per mag with the 365x and more capabilities.
I bought a 365 for pocket carry. As I work in a gun store, we open carry, I find myself IWB my 365 more. So I bought a XL grip module and threw on my 365 slide assembly. Basically a 365x without the optics capability.
you edc the hellcat pro? I carry a g43x mos with 507k and TLR7sub but man this hellcat pro is super intriguing
Kimber micro 380 with laser for pocket, backup or very active gun and Sig 365X for everyday carry
I have 2 I rotate,hellcat and p365xl w/red dot. I do love the look of the hellcat. Hellcat I carry when wearing jeans and 365 when in shorts. They are similar size but 365 is more comfortable with shorts.
I love the slowmotion shooting sound!
My mailbox gun/ running gun is a S&W 642 38spl. Finally someone who understands me 🥹
Never thought I’d be a 2A guy. Especially on my old takes on firearms but here we are 😝
Hellcat pro is my current carry, same situation used to be a 43x guy until the hellcat pro
P365 FTW!! Also appreciate someone who isn’t a Glock fan boy and can recognize that there are other decent firearms on the market
I'm a Glock fan. Not a fanboy, I just shoot Glocks better. I am looking for something smaller than my 19mos. now. Open to all ideas but have narrowed it down to Glock 43x, Sig 365 and Hellcat. I am still willing to consider other options and with some range time I could wind up with something not on my list. Glad the 365 works for you, might work the best for me too! I am not a novice, but I am far from an expert and realize there are other decent firearms on the market.
Current carry rotation is a springfield 911, arex delta gen 2, glock 19x, walther pps m2, and arex zero 1.
Meh.. wasnt feeling them much! Except the 365, but i respect your professional opinion man!
365XL compe should be on there!
Flush conceal 13 rounds. Have an 18 round extended mag.
Whicu would ALSO make it a bedside gun!

Nice. You need a S&W M&P 340 (no lock). You don't even know it's in your pocket. Long live the snubby.
LOL I carry what I carry everyday, sometimes have the back up which is the same every time for me. Sheriff's Department uses the same, so it's only a different way of carry on duty or off duty. It should for the average shooter, clear leather, hit, hit -- you can't hit if you don't have the tool and know how to hit with it.

When I was young I was trying to conceal a Beretta. Now that I'm older I generally have a 32 in my pocket or a .38 on my hip but I don't live in the middle of a crazy city where people get car jacked, or gang bangers have shootouts daily. If I'm going on the road out of town though it's back to the Glock 26.
