I think you’re missing the point. This isnt some doomsday scenario. This is more aimed at the new gun owner who may not be able to afford multiple rifles but more so needs to focus on one rifle, one pistol as a good foundation that can cover the bases allowing them to focus on money for ammo and training.
I think the point of this video is to advise new gun owners on a good "all round" rifle and pistol to purchase. Similar to what I recommend to friends is getting into firearms, Ballistic Advantage 14.5 and P365 Xmacro (non comp). The average American gun owner isn't going to shoot out the standard BA barrel, gets them more ammo and other gear if limited on funds.
@@NotHomeownerApproved we didnt cover it here obviously but a red dot and a flip up magnifier combined will basically do everything most people may ever need in a rifle
Great guns! Totally fine for home defense, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. As long as you're proficient with them and you know they work with the ammo you use.
If you're not building: RIFLE: Aero Precision M4E1 Lower + BCM Lightweight Upper + Lahar30/Polo 30 PISTOL: Shadow Systems MR920L+SS comp, MR920P, DR920P This gets you a really good setup thats relatively future proof.
If you're building: - Aero Precision M4E1 receiver set - Criterion Barrel - Aero Precision adjustable gas block - Phase 5 EBR v3 - geissele super duty charging handle / DIY Gas buster - A5 receiver ext./buffer tube with JP a5 captured spring - Midwest Industries combat iron sight/ Magpul MBUS pros - LaRue MBT-2s or geissele ssp or some other good trigger - Holosun AEMS (maybe the MAX when it proves itself) w/ 1.93"+ mount Anything else is cosmetic or dealers choice.
I'd get an m&p if I didn't go with Glock. I'm sure the p10 is nice but the m&p is basically #2 right now. The p320 should be the logical second choice, but who would trust a s*g?
You'd go for Glock over CZ for 1 simple reason: accessibility of replacement parts. CZ in general is.. fancier. CZ 75 still one of the best (hammer fired) handguns ever made, however.. you can get glocks anywhere and everywhere in the world. You need parts? Once you start googling they're almost throwing it at your face. CZ however, not as accessible nor as many (custom) parts. When shit's about to hit the fan you should care about those things.
Great advice, and overall I agree. I’d choose a 16” over a 14.5”, because the extra 1.5” isn’t that much of a penalty in maneuverability and it gets me a fair bit more velocity, so it’s worth the trade off for me. I’d probably go with an LPVO plus back up iron sights over a red dot, but that’s shooter’s preference.
Surefire is definitely not mid tier, they obviously aren’t the most expensive but they are hands down the best and toughest hard use light made. The glass is tempered glass and not polycarbonate, the mounts are rock solid and the build quality is outstanding. Nothing holds up better. Cheers
No. 14.5 is money. Just without bs pin and weld. It’s just the best balance. It’s it’s a dedicated close range gun sure. But if you want across your living room to 4, 5, 600. With a k can it’s still not insanely long. The military uses 14.5 and has for exactly that. Why? It can do what a mk18 can just not as well but it can shoot farther and fast. No idgaf about a mk18 hitting steel at 1000 great shot. Doesn’t mean with worth a fuck. At 4-600 yes a mk18 can still kill you. 14.5 is just flatter faster. 13.7-16” isn’t just about bs ATF shit. It’s just the most flexible.
Be a man, run a 20in, you aren’t clearing houses and if you are walking around with a rifle a pistol then tactics and techniques should be telling you to avoid people at all costs and you want standoff distance to keep people coming near you, but I’m just fat and drunk now and my days of running through city streets kicking in doors is over and I’ll never do that stuff again, so I’m biased. BCM is good stuff
BCM and LWRC DI are easily the best value for quality out there right now for AR's, if you want to step it up from there G$ doesnt miss either and I absolutely love my POF as well!
Thank You So MUCH for making a video for people like Me who are on a "Fixed Income", I have a 16" Ruger 556 with a Romeo 7 and Sig Micro magnifier White Light and My EDC Pistol is a RIA Tac Ultra 16RD 10MM with full rail and dust cover for $795.00 and an Olight Baldur Pro Rm My Whole Set Up is Under 2K!
You really can't argue with this, I don't even own a BCM, but can agree that it's as close as you can get to the glock of 5.56 14.5 is as standard as it gets and that american optic up top...
Gen IV Glock 20 (yes I carry it _EVERY_ day 4 seasons unless I need something small specifically then it's my Gen IV G19FS) because IMO once you're good with it it's about as capable as a factory handgun can be. Pair that with a 7.62 AK103K (my preference) or my 11.5 AR in the truck and I'm comfortable with the bases I have covered. IMO the 10mm really is just THE best all-around "common" handgun caliber today. The G20 shoots like a slightly beefier recoiling G17 and having had to use it to stop a moose on the kenai up in Ak I'm a BIG believer in the capability of the round to stop 2 and 4 legged creatures RIGHT NOW.
I live in the northeast. ▪️ I run an 11.5” ar pistol. (Plan on putting a primary arms lpvo, piggy back red dot, and a suppressor.) ▪️p365 x macro with 4.25” threaded barrel. I conceal carry the macro, and can easily rely on in as a duty pistol. I feel like that’s all I need.
I realize most of this video is audio only. For future videos, wearing a black tshirt to showcase a black firearm makes it very hard to see what is going on, esp on phone.
I went with - Geissele super duty 16 5.56 w/ Trijicon 1-6 LPVO FN 509T 9mm with Trijicon RMR They cost a little more up front but it’s the only money I’ve spent and the rest goes into ammo and range time.
Solid primary and secondary combo there. For those of us who aren’t law enforcement or active duty MIL, your setup is hard to beat - if things ever got to a point where we have to walk around as a civilian with a primary and secondary, we all have a lot more to worry about.
I’m a fan of Viking tactical adjustable sling, kydex holster for pistol and pistol mags, Kore belt is a good choice even for EDC, 5.11 Rush 72 backpack, EDC pack, Maxpedition Monsoon, large enough for your needs not wants, slick non bulky design, easy on and off, beaver tail for jacket or , size is the Goldie Locks size, big enough for essentials as EDC, the size and shape helps you restrict your gear to needs and not wants so to keep the bulk and weight down. Mono scope, head band flashlight, one hand held small flashlight, fixed knife blades only no matter the size, that’s for you, trenders…shemagh, not to look like an operator, makes for a good rag, carrier, sling, bandage, cover, towel, filter, on and on… tourniquet always.
@@andreg36k vortex and Burris prism , but curious about primary arms. Reasoning,common batteries however utilizes etched reticle if battery failure, simple, tough, field of view, BDC are simple.
Completely agree if your going with an unsuppressed set up 14.5 is the way. If your getting a suppressor do yourself a favor and get a short barrel and pin and weld that fucker or sbr it. Running courses with both ive found a 10.5 or 11.5 with suppressor so much better for longer strings of fire and run and gun. Those longer guns slow you down real quick.
14.5 BCM my first rifle. Hasn’t failed me yet.only thing I regret is the BCM muzzle device that is on and welded. No suppressors work with it that I’m aware of
I had the same setup..BCM 14.5 pinned/welded..brought it to a gunsmith and he took off that muzzle device and put on a suppressor adapter for me. Easy peasy
Bcm 14.5 also my first rifle. I also didn’t like the mod 1 I got pinned to it. I sent it it a gun smith and got it re pinned with a surefire CTN. The surefire closed tin looks very nice on the bcm. I’d suggest getting it re pinned.
For the new gun owner, or for an Army infantry vet like me with decades of experience, if you're limited to one do-it-all rifle and pistol combo then simple and 100% reliable is never the wrong way to go. The best rifle would be the Colt AR15A4 20" and the pistol would be the CZ P-09 (or maybe P-07). Done!
Been rocking a Aero build with Colt 14.5” SOCOM barrel and BCG, with ACOD, just finished a FN Barrel 14.7” FN BCG, Aero upper and lower with BCM enhanced LPK, so far I am very happy with it Romeo 4XT. Glock 19 or Glock 45 depending on the weather, always with light 7A.
I travel with my 11.5 it shoots so soft and with my handloads it can shoot pretty far. And traveling with a pistol across states with a ccw is just easier than a aow or rifle.
@@John_439 I do typically take my 11in pistol when I travel as well because in my state it is legal to have a rifle in the car but in Oklahoma where my mom lives you can only have a pistol, I think alot of states are like that
I don't know this guy. This video just popped up on my feed. He must have a lot of disposable income. And Olights are not total crap. I have carried one on duty for over 15 years. Works fine.
@@Doorkicker505 They have worked fine for you for years which is great, however there are much better more dependable lights with comparable pricing nowadays
Watching yt videos about what you “should” have on a rifle will put you in the poor house. $1500(minimum) rifle, $700 red dot, $500 magnifier, $300 flashlight, $200 trigger, $? IR laser, $1100 suppressor. The brand whoring in the gun community is ridiculous.
@@shanebatten6473 who hurt you? The video is about the Glock of rifles and through tens of thousands of rounds and Countless Hours on the range thats a BCM in our eyes. No one is saying go into debt for gun stuff. We have always advocated for purchasing gear as good as you can afford.
@@guerrilla_tacticalRight on that. I'm not paying extra for matching gloss anodizing on a gun I will scratch up and paint, and there are plenty of good triggers out there for a fraction of top line pricing. Burning out a low tier barrel will cost about $2400 at today's ammo costs, and most casual shooters will never hit that sort of round count. If so, they can replace the barrel with a chrome lined Criterion.
I built a BCM upper with a Rosco 12.5 Bloodline patrol length barrel with a Strike Industries handguard with Rosco BCG on a Aero lower and runs like a dream and very accurate. I've got it mated up with a Huxwrks Ventum can and runs great suppressed or unsupressed and the ballestics between a 12.5 and 14.5 are neglible in my opinion. I'm running a Canik TTI combat for my secondary gun. I'm happy all the way around.
14.5 and Gen 3 17 EDC. Only 2 guns I have (unless I buy an AUG soon). In europe, law doesnt outline the barrel length so much, so 14.5 was the best option either way
The Knights SR-15 is banned in Cali. It's dumb I know. I tried to find a KAC upper but couldn't find one. I went with the DDM4A1 with the quad rail, EOTECH EXPS3, KAC iron sights, Geissele trigger, Modlite PLHv2 with Surefire switch on Cloud Defensive mount and a Ferro Concepts sling. I also have a DDM4V7s 11.5 inch with basically the same parts but with Scalarworks iron sights instead of KAC and a pistol brace. My next rifle will be a BCM. I aso want a BRN 180 pistol. For a side arm, I like my Glock 19.
I run an Adams Arms 7.5 inch upper with a binary lower and a sig sp2022. Have been for years and most reliable of all my toys. Spent 8 years in the Army and that is my go to set up. Silencerco ASR flash hider and Silencerco suppressor.
@HDBujutsu1775 It's not for everyone, but it works for me just fine. And for people that don't think it's deadly out to 150m, im quite sure they wouldn't want to be hit by a round traveling 2050 fps. Especially a 77 grain. But then again that's just ballistics. Although it has been used that short by certain well trained individuals and worked just fine. 😊
@@andyparra6073 there’s the issue… it drops so much velocity beyond 150 that it’s a very poor choice for an all around useable system. The 11.5 and shorter were used for CQB only. Teams I served with ran a 10.5 indoors and switched to a 14.5 or longer (18.5) for movement to our exfill.
This video is perfect for the first time gun owner, save up/invest into a good pistol/rifle setup and worry about getting more firearms later when financial stability is available, your videos are blessings keep them coming brotha 🔥😎
My 14.5 BCM has been perfect..had it since 2016. Running an eotech/magnifier and can throw a suppressor on it if I want..can’t go wrong with it. Tough to pick between it or my 16” PWS..currently running an ACOG on that one, also has a suppressor adapter and all my rifles have QD/sling, inforce white/IR light, back up irons. Been running the Glock 17 but this year got the new 45 with a holosun..haven’t used/trained with it too much yet but I think I like it. Note: today one of my TLR7’s just shit the bed..very un stream light of it. Basically get yourself an AR and a Glock 17/19/45.
I would agree. I have a Odin on my AR pistol. But man these higher candela lights are crazy. Cloud Defensive Rein 3.0 beats all the lights out there. Got one for my 16" Rifle. Also Goonbeam makes a more wallet friendly option.
My got to rifle is a Daniel Defense m4a1 14.5. I have it pin and welded with huxwrx flash hider. Running a 556k can on it. Also running Eotech on it. As far as side arm I have a my EDC an Sig p365 x macro. Thinking about making the switch to Glock though
You might want to consider the Smith and Wesson M&P FPC (Folding Pistol Carbine), chambered in 9MM. It folds up nicely (about 16.5 inches) , so it can easily fit inside most backpacks. If your pistol of choice just so happens to be a S&W M&P 2.0, also chambered in 9MM, you would be able to use the same magazines (17 rounders and up) for each firearm. Simplicity is underrated in many cases. It isn't as intuitive as an AR platform, so training is a must. Still, it's not a bad option to consider.
12.5 master race🫡 12.5 velocity to 14.5 velocity is barely noticeable if you use even decent ammo but IMO 12.5 is better bc of the shorter length. 2inchs is a lot if my opinion if it means i can better maneuver indoors and still reach out to 600yrds with my T2 and 3-4x magnifier(cant remember the zoom on it) Handgun is my 4.25 M&P 2.0. Had glock and loved it but I perform better I feel like and more consistently with M&P. Steiner MPS and Surefire Turbo
Unfortunately a lot of folks can get away with a 14.5 + MD where they live but not as easily with a 12.5. Thats why we chose the BCM 14.5 as an “all around rifle”. My personal guns are mostly 11.5 or 12.5
Favorite is aero lower either a aero upper with a bcg from bcm . Or upper from SOLGW or BCM. Larue trigger geisel supper 42 buffer spring / extension . Basic safety cmmg lower parts and buy a cmmg bolt conversion kit . Now rifle shoots 3 calibers
I honestly feel like for a combat/survival scenario carry handgun I would want a 10mm. Most force production for a semi auto, good penetration on soft armor or large animals, good ammo capacity, manageable recoil especially w a comp, etc. only reason to not is the reliability of it I guess but at this point those are pretty solid reliable guns
Have a G19X, still prefer my Springfield XD 4” duty to the Glock. Trigger feel, reset, more natural point of aim and zero malfunctions ever. Getting it cut for an optic soon, but newer ones already have that.
Very good topic for beginners and a reminder and pointers to those who do our own research. From my own research, even though I have a great custom AR job and various other in the safe...I've concluded that for SHTF one rifle is either Tavor X95 or Tav 7. But, since only one...Tavor 7 as 7.62 NATO means ONE pill per customer vs 2or 3 taps req. from a smaller 5.56. Also Glock 20 in 10mm. The cheapest 10mm ammo will outperform the 9mm +p , so really you save money as ONE pill per customer. Underwood Ammo 10mm can take down anything in North America and you can also hunt w the Tav 7 which is a PISTON GUN ! Dead nuts Reliable!!
Also, I would go w a red dot that has solar capabilities to keep the dot powered up...remember, SHTF and batteries die, you're screwed. Now.. if money were no object, have a dedicated 7.62 NATO gun w thermal for night-time to reach out.
Well I have what fits me for that one gun setup when I bought it it was on sale for around $600 it’s the Ruger AR 5.56 with a 16” inch barrel to look at the gun now with all the modifications I’ve done it’s over $1200 , I believe the 16” Barrel is the sweet spot still giving you the CQB ability and the you can reach out to over 500 yrds. And my sidearm is the G23 in .40cal with a TLR-1 this setup has been mine for over 8yrs. both in uniform and out .
@cxerphax Worry about your own lighting. Where are all of your videos?? How about you stop critiquing someone who actually makes videos with your zero experience in the field.
@@scout3058 no one cares what you think just as no cares what I think. With that said, one of us is right and it’s not you lol. This lighting is bad. The video literally looks like it’s filmed in a dark room. That’s just bad practice.
This was informative, thanks. Unfortunately, I live in one of those "weird states" so I gotta do as much research as possible LOL. Just a suggestion, try a white t-shirt next time you're presenting all black guhns. ;)
As a new viewer, I'd appreciate hearing quite promptly what the numbers 14, 5 refer to, AND what CALIBER your chosen rifle shoots. My other opening questions are, do pistol & rifle shoot the same caliber? If not, why are they a "combo".
Because I have a bad astigmatism. On my rifles the T2 and MRO don’t spider a lot so it’s a must but on a pistol I can’t find a dot that doesn’t spider so large that it’s unusable.
For me DD M4A1 upper w/ surefire 4 prong (saving for rc2 mini) with Aero M4E1 Lower, geislee 2 stage flat face trigger, milspec lower parts kit, EXPS 3-0 with G33 Mag, sling, Surfire M640DFT-PRO TURBO, bcm short vg, and b5 pistol grip and SOPMOD enhanced stock, magpul BUIS. Next is G45, Surefire X300, Holosun 509T.
@@phillipwood5644 Our main point is for a similar price point you can get something thats overall more reliable and better made. Olight has a tendency to reach out to “influencers” and offer them free product or money to speak highly of their stuff. They did it to us early on and we declined. We arent saying as a whole every single light they produce is garbage, heck, years ago some of us had valkerys on Gen 3 Glocks. But nowadays there are better options for not too much more money.
@@Hiddencomment007 I have a PA-10 308. And I own Daniel Defense... the Armalite came with the most value straight out of the box...it's the best trigger I have right now. I have a video comparing it to my DD MK18 as far as fit and quality. It's in my Armory Playlist ..I'll see if I can link it here
IMO the Armalite tac16 308 is effing AMAZING 👏 at 1299. That's a over 2k type of rifle all day. (And I have the PA-10 tricked out for comparison) the pa10 comes with a carbine buffer (small), Armalite gives you a full rifle buffer,..(I'm testing mine with a DPM systems recoil mitigation buffer) the PA-10 has a easier gas setting system.(6 clicks) ...Armalite is a set screw system for fine tuning.. both are adjustable gas....I also got my PA-10 for the lowest price possible i think at 570 out the door (saber launch) 😉 The Armalite is on another level tho..
@RickAmey-wc3dx psa did bad in my corrosion testing 🙃 the fasteners are of a lower grade (easy fix for AR...AK, not so much) The PA-10 is still a great and robust design 👌 especially for a 308 rifle. Dual extractor BCG and shock absorber stock from FAB, along with your favorite grip is still a mean rifle to beat. And I've shot a couple thousand rounds on mine so far...she still feels solid.
Ar15 variant: bcm, colt, Daniel defense Pistol variant: glock 19, p320 compact, p365, mp 2.0 Any of those combos will do. Millions sold. Chances are your neighbors owning one of them. I left out the g17 only cause you can use the g17 mag in the g19 but not the other way obviously. Unless you chop the grip. Funny. My go to is 16 inch bcm. And a g19. But also love my mp 2.0 also in 9mm.
Wish I would have went with BCM to begin with. Went with a PSA then got a Geissele Super Duty. Glock 19/17 hard to beat as well. Look forward to seeing more! (Small no hate critique, try to work on your UMs….. I didn’t count but about mid way through the video you had about 50 in 3 minutes..)
Glock 48 MOS With your choice of as close to 14.5 5.56AR15 you can have. If your a hunter and want a "doall" .300blackout 16" spend money on the barrel. Those are my 1 pistol 2 "rifle" chocies.... "Note im not a glock fanboy but the 48MOS with SA mags is JUST PERFECT EDC and combat."
@@unapologetic7900 Their QC and manufacturing are questionable. It may work well for you and thats great that its lasted without issue. However, companies like streamlight and surefire make better quality lights that you can fully depend on.
@@guerrilla_tactical "Their QC and manufacturing are questionable" How have you determined this? If that's your personal opinion, that's fine, but to say that Olight products are crap, I'd hope you have data that can back that up. I've used StreamLights for years. We issue the TLR-1 HL for duty, but I actually prefer the Olight Baldr Pro. It has been rock solid, and I like that it's rechargeable and has more features, like a QD Lever instead of a thumb screw. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone. Not attacking you, just asking for something more than "they are crap".
Whenever I bought weapons, it seemed BCM was out of stock. Have some Midwest Industries uppers and lowers, an Aero Precision M4E1 Complete rifle and some Brownels BRN180 uppers and BRN180 'Modern' lowers. Sig X-Macro variants and Walther for pistols. Nothing Gucci - all mid-line and some 'enhanced capability' upgrades, and lots of staged full mags and ammo. There's a fine line between readiness and 'collecting'.
Adding a 1.5" muzzle device to a 14.5 doesnt legally make it a 16" rifle unless you pin/weld the muzzle. Has to be permanently attached to be considered part of the barrel
IMO Colt M4 / M4A1 Family of Carbines is the Glock of the AR world . Neither Glock or Colt have changed very much over the past 30 years but both are tried / true work horses.. 13.x" Middy with EXPS2-2 paired with Micro 3x MAGNIFIER and Sthadow Systems XR920 / XR920P is my preferred rigs if I could only have one pistol / Carbine
@@ryanxvx California definitely has work arounds. You close to west side gun club in Anaheim by chance? Hit them up and theyll get you sorted with the right info and great gear
Imo there is a strong argument for Daniel defense or geissele over bcm due to barrel and pinned gas block. There is a weak argument for shadow systems over Glock and somewhat stronger argument for p365 over Glock for civilian 4 season.
One other thing I forgot... the PSA Jakal is a piston gun... that would be my choice if a beginner as it's more affordable and way more reliable than an impingement AR gas crap where you eat setup.
I suppose you're still building your shop out, next gotta get some good lighting, then you're gun wall in the back with more spot lighting on the guns . G-19 is a good carry, but the G-45 is a better grip and you can still use the same holsters. The shorter slide is better for getting in your vehicle. You make some good points young Man, God's speed 💪❤ 🇺🇸😎
Was just talking about this in another vid. The difference between 500$ and 2000$ rifle is huge. The 2000$ to 4000$.... You get an ambi bolt catch. And a cool logo. Edit- yea it was 110Sass on that Admin vid the other day. Knights is fn cool but come on.
1. Good video 2. As a graphic designer who specializes in branding, BCM is too ugly for me lol. I also don't care to build guns. Just great off the shelf will do. 3. So, I run a Saint Victor with Holosun 510C, Olight Odin Mini, Magpul AFG, and Magpul MS4 sling. Currently, for my pistol I run a G19 Gen 5 irons. Im saving to get that War Poet MR920 with Holosun 508T. That will be my new EDC. Can't wait. Love my current set up. Highly recommend the Saint Victor.
I’d want a modular rifle that can chamber 5.56 and .308. I’m looking at PWS UXR or Desert Tech MDRX. I’m in CA so it’s kind of hard to decide. As of pistols, I’m still figuring out as well. So far I’ve been excellent (comfortable and accurate) with the Springfield XD9 series. Glocks would have been good for me but that Glock Knuckle feeling is annoying for my thick fingers. I’ll see about the Springfield Hellcat Pro and Sig Sauer P365 X Macro (which just became CA compliant). I also am considering Springfield XD45 Tactical in a CAA MCK (even though it may not be recommended in my state because of stupid rules).
A question, if that is an out of the box BCM what makes that better or different than say a out of the box PSA or Colt? As being a "Milspec" rifle to me would be relatively the same until you start to upgrade the rifle components. Also a suggestion when making your video watch your background (your shirt) I couldn't see the demonstration very well. But very good video and thank you.
Just grabbed myself a psa 16 mid-length rifle, I’ll be interested to see what I end up throwing on it down the line but I’m gonna get proficient with irons first I think
@@AllBraunZeroBrains Take it from someone who has put a lot of rounds down range. Save yourself the time and go right into a red dot. They are extremely intuitive and will make you much more proficient. You cant go wrong with an Eotech, If its a budgeting issue, toss a holosun on there to start. Other than a few nuances training with the dot with translate to future red dots if you choose to upgrade.
If I’m walking around with a rifle and pistol “combo” then my days of watching these YT videos are over.
💯
Yup
Never thought about it that way.
To be honest, you're 100% right.
I think you’re missing the point. This isnt some doomsday scenario. This is more aimed at the new gun owner who may not be able to afford multiple rifles but more so needs to focus on one rifle, one pistol as a good foundation that can cover the bases allowing them to focus on money for ammo and training.
I think the point of this video is to advise new gun owners on a good "all round" rifle and pistol to purchase.
Similar to what I recommend to friends is getting into firearms, Ballistic Advantage 14.5 and P365 Xmacro (non comp).
The average American gun owner isn't going to shoot out the standard BA barrel, gets them more ammo and other gear if limited on funds.
14.5” with holosun Mailbox is my favorite overall, 10.5 stays in my truck
Nothing will beat my stock Glock 19 Gen 3
Great points in this video

@natedog380 that is all you probably need. Doesn't mean its should be what you are limited to
16” & G17. Done.
Agreed.
Those longer barrels benefit velocity and ballistic performance for your rifle as well as your handgun. You get the picture. Great choices!
That’s my setup and I agree.

Same same
I'm still using the Mini-14 and 1911 , just because I have it and I can. Nothing wrong with other choices though.

Hey if that's what you run, and you run it well, more power to you🔥🤙🏾
Strongly agree, basic BCM and basic Glock is really tough to beat for most people. A great starting point for a kit buildout.
If you're not building:
RIFLE: Aero Precision M4E1 Lower + BCM Lightweight Upper + Lahar30/Polo 30
PISTOL: Shadow Systems MR920L+SS comp, MR920P, DR920P
This gets you a really good setup thats relatively future proof.
If you're building:
- Aero Precision M4E1 receiver set
- Criterion Barrel
- Aero Precision adjustable gas block
- Phase 5 EBR v3
- geissele super duty charging handle / DIY Gas buster
- A5 receiver ext./buffer tube with JP a5 captured spring
- Midwest Industries combat iron sight/ Magpul MBUS pros
- LaRue MBT-2s or geissele ssp or some other good trigger
- Holosun AEMS (maybe the MAX when it proves itself) w/ 1.93"+ mount
Anything else is cosmetic or dealers choice.
The best 16" AR you're budget can afford along with either a Glock 17 or CZ P10
I’ve been running a p10-f with a dot, light and extended mag, this thing feels incredible and for such a good price.
I'd get an m&p if I didn't go with Glock. I'm sure the p10 is nice but the m&p is basically #2 right now. The p320 should be the logical second choice, but who would trust a s*g?
Lol cz? Wtf
You'd go for Glock over CZ for 1 simple reason: accessibility of replacement parts.
CZ in general is.. fancier. CZ 75 still one of the best (hammer fired) handguns ever made, however.. you can get glocks anywhere and everywhere in the world. You need parts? Once you start googling they're almost throwing it at your face.
CZ however, not as accessible nor as many (custom) parts. When shit's about to hit the fan you should care about those things.
M&P Sport ll w/ Romeo red dot and stock G17. Extra mags and I'm good.
Man when did bcm start being considered as budget rifle mid tear
Beats me.....
When they became the standard, yet didn’t drastically change their prices. So many companies overcharge for rifles and they still get compared to bcm!
Always have been. It’s the base model of acceptable quality. Great guns but go no cheaper
Their uppers come with bcg now and are probably 200$ less then comparables due in part to that.
You can get blem uppers for like $600
Great advice, and overall I agree. I’d choose a 16” over a 14.5”, because the extra 1.5” isn’t that much of a penalty in maneuverability and it gets me a fair bit more velocity, so it’s worth the trade off for me. I’d probably go with an LPVO plus back up iron sights over a red dot, but that’s shooter’s preference.
LPVO with a dot on top are great too.
Surefire is definitely not mid tier, they obviously aren’t the most expensive but they are hands down the best and toughest hard use light made. The glass is tempered glass and not polycarbonate, the mounts are rock solid and the build quality is outstanding. Nothing holds up better. Cheers
I think if there weren't rifle/pistol laws, the 11.5" upper would be the known default for ARs.
Very possible. Thats why we say under the circumstances the 14.5 is an excellent all around carbine
No. 14.5 is money. Just without bs pin and weld. It’s just the best balance. It’s it’s a dedicated close range gun sure. But if you want across your living room to 4, 5, 600. With a k can it’s still not insanely long. The military uses 14.5 and has for exactly that. Why? It can do what a mk18 can just not as well but it can shoot farther and fast. No idgaf about a mk18 hitting steel at 1000 great shot. Doesn’t mean with worth a fuck. At 4-600 yes a mk18 can still kill you. 14.5 is just flatter faster. 13.7-16” isn’t just about bs ATF shit. It’s just the most flexible.
Not a chance in hell.
Forreal. Hilariously, I think 16" would be the default without nfa. Right now, it's not "cool" to run a 16 because thats the legal length. @scout3058
14.5 is key, or 11.5 suppressed is available. I'd go that route
Either BCM, Geissele, ADM, DD, LMT.
Surefire Light, EoTech, sling. Good to go..
👍🎯💪🇺🇲
Be a man, run a 20in, you aren’t clearing houses and if you are walking around with a rifle a pistol then tactics and techniques should be telling you to avoid people at all costs and you want standoff distance to keep people coming near you, but I’m just fat and drunk now and my days of running through city streets kicking in doors is over and I’ll never do that stuff again, so I’m biased. BCM is good stuff
Dang! Ive never agreed more. Perfect combo. Spot on. Although I run Knights 14.5 and a Staccato now, id be 95% just as happy with BCM/ Glock
BCM and LWRC DI are easily the best value for quality out there right now for AR's, if you want to step it up from there G$ doesnt miss either and I absolutely love my POF as well!
Thank You So MUCH for making a video for people like Me who are on a "Fixed Income", I have a 16" Ruger 556 with a Romeo 7 and Sig Micro magnifier White Light and My EDC Pistol is a RIA Tac Ultra 16RD 10MM with full rail and dust cover for $795.00 and an Olight Baldur Pro Rm My Whole Set Up is Under 2K!
“BCM’s are like the Glocks of AR’s”…I’ve never heard that before but the moment you said that I was like “Yes! perfect comparison 💯%!”
🤝
I love my 13.7. Figured if you are going to pin and weld a 14.5 then you might as well go as short as possible. Splitting hairs at that point.
ADM UIC with a Criterion Barrel and Surefire Warcomp is sweet too. 🇺🇲🎯
You really can't argue with this, I don't even own a BCM, but can agree that it's as close as you can get to the glock of 5.56 14.5 is as standard as it gets and that american optic up top...
100%. Glad someone gets it.
I think a lot of people are missing the very simple point of this video. Hahah
Gen IV Glock 20 (yes I carry it _EVERY_ day 4 seasons unless I need something small specifically then it's my Gen IV G19FS) because IMO once you're good with it it's about as capable as a factory handgun can be. Pair that with a 7.62 AK103K (my preference) or my 11.5 AR in the truck and I'm comfortable with the bases I have covered. IMO the 10mm really is just THE best all-around "common" handgun caliber today. The G20 shoots like a slightly beefier recoiling G17 and having had to use it to stop a moose on the kenai up in Ak I'm a BIG believer in the capability of the round to stop 2 and 4 legged creatures RIGHT NOW.
SOLGW 14.5” patrol rifle and G19 for the past few years. These were and still are very solid choices. Thanks
Buy once, cry once. You can always get another budget build down the line but it's worth it to do it right the first time.
I live in the northeast.
▪️ I run an 11.5” ar pistol. (Plan on putting a primary arms lpvo, piggy back red dot, and a suppressor.)
▪️p365 x macro with 4.25” threaded barrel.
I conceal carry the macro, and can easily rely on in as a duty pistol.
I feel like that’s all I need.

Great rifle!
@@guerrilla_tactical agreed
I went with -
Geissele super duty 16 5.56 w/ Trijicon 1-6 LPVO
FN 509T 9mm with Trijicon RMR
They cost a little more up front but it’s the only money I’ve spent and the rest goes into ammo and range time.
14.5 3x fixed optic, flashlight no tape switch, G17 no red dot, flashlight, tons of mags and ammo for both.
Solid primary and secondary combo there. For those of us who aren’t law enforcement or active duty MIL, your setup is hard to beat - if things ever got to a point where we have to walk around as a civilian with a primary and secondary, we all have a lot more to worry about.
I’m a fan of Viking tactical adjustable sling, kydex holster for pistol and pistol mags, Kore belt is a good choice even for EDC, 5.11 Rush 72 backpack, EDC pack, Maxpedition Monsoon, large enough for your needs not wants, slick non bulky design, easy on and off, beaver tail for jacket or , size is the Goldie Locks size, big enough for essentials as EDC, the size and shape helps you restrict your gear to needs and not wants so to keep the bulk and weight down. Mono scope, head band flashlight, one hand held small flashlight, fixed knife blades only no matter the size, that’s for you, trenders…shemagh, not to look like an operator, makes for a good rag, carrier, sling, bandage, cover, towel, filter, on and on… tourniquet always.
Beautiful bro. What 3x optic are you using?
@@andreg36k vortex and Burris prism , but curious about primary arms. Reasoning,common batteries however utilizes etched reticle if battery failure, simple, tough, field of view, BDC are simple.
Same but 12.5
Completely agree if your going with an unsuppressed set up 14.5 is the way. If your getting a suppressor do yourself a favor and get a short barrel and pin and weld that fucker or sbr it. Running courses with both ive found a 10.5 or 11.5 with suppressor so much better for longer strings of fire and run and gun. Those longer guns slow you down real quick.
14.5 BCM my first rifle. Hasn’t failed me yet.only thing I regret is the BCM muzzle device that is on and welded. No suppressors work with it that I’m aware of
Griffin armament gate lock suppressors should work with BCM muzzle device. If not D. Wilson can remove your pin & weld for something else
Surefire should
You can have muzzle device unpinned. I’ve had it done before and gun works just as it was before.
I had the same setup..BCM 14.5 pinned/welded..brought it to a gunsmith and he took off that muzzle device and put on a suppressor adapter for me. Easy peasy
Bcm 14.5 also my first rifle. I also didn’t like the mod 1 I got pinned to it. I sent it it a gun smith and got it re pinned with a surefire CTN. The surefire closed tin looks very nice on the bcm. I’d suggest getting it re pinned.
I have the Sons of Liberty Gun Works 13.7” with NOX and Shadow Systems MR920P. Both Texas built and both lifetime warranty for my SHTF combo.
Solid combo!
For the new gun owner, or for an Army infantry vet like me with decades of experience, if you're limited to one do-it-all rifle and pistol combo then simple and 100% reliable is never the wrong way to go. The best rifle would be the Colt AR15A4 20" and the pistol would be the CZ P-09 (or maybe P-07). Done!
@@plaiddad276 simple and 100% reliable is why we based this video around Glock 19s and BCM rifles
@@guerrilla_tactical Understood, but MANY people would not consider those options to be as simple and failsafe as they could be.
Been rocking a Aero build with Colt 14.5” SOCOM barrel and BCG, with ACOD, just finished a FN Barrel 14.7” FN BCG, Aero upper and lower with BCM enhanced LPK, so far I am very happy with it Romeo 4XT. Glock 19 or Glock 45 depending on the weather, always with light 7A.
I have 11, 14 and 16 but the 16 is always the one I grab
Lol same here, I have a 7.5 300 BO, but my 5.56 16in is my fav also.
I travel with my 11.5 it shoots so soft and with my handloads it can shoot pretty far. And traveling with a pistol across states with a ccw is just easier than a aow or rifle.
@@tacticalnewbe5745 yeah the 16in 556 just works good for me for everything I need it for.
@@John_439 I do typically take my 11in pistol when I travel as well because in my state it is legal to have a rifle in the car but in Oklahoma where my mom lives you can only have a pistol, I think alot of states are like that

@@Doorkicker505 They have worked fine for you for years which is great, however there are much better more dependable lights with comparable pricing nowadays

@@shanebatten6473 who hurt you? The video is about the Glock of rifles and through tens of thousands of rounds and
Countless Hours on the range thats a BCM in our eyes. No one is saying go into debt for gun stuff. We have always advocated for purchasing gear as good as you can afford.
@@guerrilla_tacticalRight on that. I'm not paying extra for matching gloss anodizing on a gun I will scratch up and paint, and there are plenty of good triggers out there for a fraction of top line pricing. Burning out a low tier barrel will cost about $2400 at today's ammo costs, and most casual shooters will never hit that sort of round count. If so, they can replace the barrel with a chrome lined Criterion.
I built a BCM upper with a Rosco 12.5 Bloodline patrol length barrel with a Strike Industries handguard with Rosco BCG on a Aero lower and runs like a dream and very accurate. I've got it mated up with a Huxwrks Ventum can and runs great suppressed or unsupressed and the ballestics between a 12.5 and 14.5 are neglible in my opinion.
I'm running a Canik TTI combat for my secondary gun. I'm happy all the way around.
14.5 and Gen 3 17 EDC. Only 2 guns I have (unless I buy an AUG soon). In europe, law doesnt outline the barrel length so much, so 14.5 was the best option either way
Where in Europe??
The Knights SR-15 is banned in Cali. It's dumb I know. I tried to find a KAC upper but couldn't find one. I went with the DDM4A1 with the quad rail, EOTECH EXPS3, KAC iron sights, Geissele trigger, Modlite PLHv2 with Surefire switch on Cloud Defensive mount and a Ferro Concepts sling. I also have a DDM4V7s 11.5 inch with basically the same parts but with Scalarworks iron sights instead of KAC and a pistol brace. My next rifle will be a BCM. I aso want a BRN 180 pistol. For a side arm, I like my Glock 19.
I run an Adams Arms 7.5 inch upper with a binary lower and a sig sp2022. Have been for years and most reliable of all my toys. Spent 8 years in the Army and that is my go to set up. Silencerco ASR flash hider and Silencerco suppressor.
That is the one I really want lol.
😂😂😂😂7.5” AR is a waste of time.
@HDBujutsu1775 It's not for everyone, but it works for me just fine. And for people that don't think it's deadly out to 150m, im quite sure they wouldn't want to be hit by a round traveling 2050 fps. Especially a 77 grain. But then again that's just ballistics. Although it has been used that short by certain well trained individuals and worked just fine. 😊
@@isi12345 works excellent
@@andyparra6073 there’s the issue… it drops so much velocity beyond 150 that it’s a very poor choice for an all around useable system. The 11.5 and shorter were used for CQB only. Teams I served with ran a 10.5 indoors and switched to a 14.5 or longer (18.5) for movement to our exfill.

My 14.5 BCM has been perfect..had it since 2016. Running an eotech/magnifier and can throw a suppressor on it if I want..can’t go wrong with it. Tough to pick between it or my 16” PWS..currently running an ACOG on that one, also has a suppressor adapter and all my rifles have QD/sling, inforce white/IR light, back up irons. Been running the Glock 17 but this year got the new 45 with a holosun..haven’t used/trained with it too much yet but I think I like it.
Note: today one of my TLR7’s just shit the bed..very un stream light of it.
Basically get yourself an AR and a Glock 17/19/45.
Still rocking my garbage olights. I love those lights.
I would agree. I have a Odin on my AR pistol. But man these higher candela lights are crazy. Cloud Defensive Rein 3.0 beats all the lights out there. Got one for my 16" Rifle. Also Goonbeam makes a more wallet friendly option.

1. Prism optic rather than holographic or red dot
2. Glock 45 or something similar rather than 19.
Full sized grip, compact slide/barrel.
The sling is the best stable point of aim tool I didn’t realize for too long.
My got to rifle is a Daniel Defense m4a1 14.5. I have it pin and welded with huxwrx flash hider. Running a 556k can on it. Also running Eotech on it.
As far as side arm I have a my EDC an Sig p365 x macro. Thinking about making the switch to Glock though
You might want to consider the Smith and Wesson M&P FPC (Folding Pistol Carbine), chambered in 9MM. It folds up nicely (about 16.5 inches) , so it can easily fit inside most backpacks. If your pistol of choice just so happens to be a S&W M&P 2.0, also chambered in 9MM, you would be able to use the same magazines (17 rounders and up) for each firearm. Simplicity is underrated in many cases. It isn't as intuitive as an AR platform, so training is a must. Still, it's not a bad option to consider.
Haha. My first thought was 14.5 P/W BCM ELWF hammer forged and Glock 19 MOS.
12.5 master race🫡 12.5 velocity to 14.5 velocity is barely noticeable if you use even decent ammo but IMO 12.5 is better bc of the shorter length. 2inchs is a lot if my opinion if it means i can better maneuver indoors and still reach out to 600yrds with my T2 and 3-4x magnifier(cant remember the zoom on it)
Handgun is my 4.25 M&P 2.0. Had glock and loved it but I perform better I feel like and more consistently with M&P. Steiner MPS and Surefire Turbo
Unfortunately a lot of folks can get away with a 14.5 + MD where they live but not as easily with a 12.5. Thats why we chose the BCM 14.5 as an “all around rifle”. My personal guns are mostly 11.5 or 12.5
Favorite is aero lower either a aero upper with a bcg from bcm . Or upper from SOLGW or BCM. Larue trigger geisel supper 42 buffer spring / extension . Basic safety cmmg lower parts and buy a cmmg bolt conversion kit . Now rifle shoots 3 calibers
I honestly feel like for a combat/survival scenario carry handgun I would want a 10mm. Most force production for a semi auto, good penetration on soft armor or large animals, good ammo capacity, manageable recoil especially w a comp, etc. only reason to not is the reliability of it I guess but at this point those are pretty solid reliable guns
@@orionclachar5094 that and the ability to find source ammo if you couldnt just put an online order in like usual
Have a G19X, still prefer my Springfield XD 4” duty to the Glock. Trigger feel, reset, more natural point of aim and zero malfunctions ever. Getting it cut for an optic soon, but newer ones already have that.
Very good topic for beginners and a reminder and pointers to those who do our own research. From my own research, even though I have a great custom AR job and various other in the safe...I've concluded that for SHTF one rifle is either Tavor X95 or Tav 7. But, since only one...Tavor 7 as 7.62 NATO means ONE pill per customer vs 2or 3 taps req. from a smaller 5.56. Also Glock 20 in 10mm. The cheapest 10mm ammo will outperform the 9mm +p , so really you save money as ONE pill per customer. Underwood Ammo 10mm can take down anything in North America and you can also hunt w the Tav 7 which is a PISTON GUN ! Dead nuts Reliable!!
Also, I would go w a red dot that has solar capabilities to keep the dot powered up...remember, SHTF and batteries die, you're screwed. Now.. if money were no object, have a dedicated 7.62 NATO gun w thermal for night-time to reach out.
Upgraded 16” M&P sport and M&P 2.0 compact. If S&W makes it I trust it
10.5 300BO suppressed SBR with eotech and surfire, S&W9. This is my chosen setup
B&T APC 9 + Sig 365 for me. Perimeter defense is all I need to stay alive. Light ammo is most important than anything else to stay agile.
Well I have what fits me for that one gun setup when I bought it it was on sale for around $600 it’s the Ruger AR 5.56 with a 16” inch barrel to look at the gun now with all the modifications I’ve done it’s over $1200 , I believe the 16” Barrel is the sweet spot still giving you the CQB ability and the you can reach out to over 500 yrds. And my sidearm is the G23 in .40cal with a TLR-1 this setup has been mine for over 8yrs. both in uniform and out .

IMO the Armalite tac16 308 is effing AMAZING 👏 at 1299. That's a over 2k type of rifle all day. (And I have the PA-10 tricked out for comparison) the pa10 comes with a carbine buffer (small), Armalite gives you a full rifle buffer,..(I'm testing mine with a DPM systems recoil mitigation buffer) the PA-10 has a easier gas setting system.(6 clicks) ...Armalite is a set screw system for fine tuning.. both are adjustable gas....I also got my PA-10 for the lowest price possible i think at 570 out the door (saber launch) 😉
The Armalite is on another level tho..
@RickAmey-wc3dx psa did bad in my corrosion testing 🙃 the fasteners are of a lower grade (easy fix for AR...AK, not so much)
The PA-10 is still a great and robust design 👌 especially for a 308 rifle. Dual extractor BCG and shock absorber stock from FAB, along with your favorite grip is still a mean rifle to beat. And I've shot a couple thousand rounds on mine so far...she still feels solid.
Ar15 variant: bcm, colt, Daniel defense
Pistol variant: glock 19, p320 compact, p365, mp 2.0
Any of those combos will do. Millions sold. Chances are your neighbors owning one of them. I left out the g17 only cause you can use the g17 mag in the g19 but not the other way obviously. Unless you chop the grip.
Funny. My go to is 16 inch bcm. And a g19. But also love my mp 2.0 also in 9mm.

Adding a 1.5" muzzle device to a 14.5 doesnt legally make it a 16" rifle unless you pin/weld the muzzle. Has to be permanently attached to be considered part of the barrel
@@hankabsher6028 yes you must pin and weld it
I have a 300 blackout 10.5 and a hellcat I carry. I also have a 1911 truck gun.
IMO Colt M4 / M4A1 Family of Carbines is the Glock of the AR world . Neither Glock or Colt have changed very much over the past 30 years but both are tried / true work horses..
13.x" Middy with EXPS2-2 paired with Micro 3x MAGNIFIER and Sthadow Systems XR920 / XR920P is my preferred rigs if I could only have one pistol / Carbine
Solid recommendations. Love my Glock 19. I'd run a 14.5" if the wise politicians of California hadn't deemed that too scary.
Can you not run a 14.5 w/1.5 pin and welded MD?
@@guerrilla_tactical Honestly I just assumed they have some hyper-specific legislation about this, but I need to actually look into it.
@@ryanxvx California definitely has work arounds. You close to west side gun club in Anaheim by chance? Hit them up and theyll get you sorted with the right info and great gear
@@guerrilla_tactical They're about an hour south but I'll absolutely pay them a visit. Thanks man.
@@ryanxvx Absolutely worth it
Imo there is a strong argument for Daniel defense or geissele over bcm due to barrel and pinned gas block. There is a weak argument for shadow systems over Glock and somewhat stronger argument for p365 over Glock for civilian 4 season.
One other thing I forgot... the PSA Jakal is a piston gun... that would be my choice if a beginner as it's more affordable and way more reliable than an impingement AR gas crap where you eat setup.
100% off my friend. Getting unique and proprietary is the wrong way to go. And for the price just get a bcm or geissele
I suppose you're still building your shop out, next gotta get some good lighting, then you're gun wall in the back with more spot lighting on the guns . G-19 is a good carry, but the G-45 is a better grip and you can still use the same holsters. The shorter slide is better for getting in your vehicle. You make some good points young Man, God's speed 💪❤ 🇺🇸😎
Was just talking about this in another vid.
The difference between 500$ and 2000$ rifle is huge.
The 2000$ to 4000$.... You get an ambi bolt catch. And a cool logo.
Edit- yea it was 110Sass on that Admin vid the other day. Knights is fn cool but come on.
1. Good video
2. As a graphic designer who specializes in branding, BCM is too ugly for me lol. I also don't care to build guns. Just great off the shelf will do.
3. So, I run a Saint Victor with Holosun 510C, Olight Odin Mini, Magpul AFG, and Magpul MS4 sling. Currently, for my pistol I run a G19 Gen 5 irons. Im saving to get that War Poet MR920 with Holosun 508T. That will be my new EDC. Can't wait. Love my current set up. Highly recommend the Saint Victor.
The diamondbacks are also really great, I think they really should get their credit more and they are made in America😎
I’d want a modular rifle that can chamber 5.56 and .308. I’m looking at PWS UXR or Desert Tech MDRX. I’m in CA so it’s kind of hard to decide.
As of pistols, I’m still figuring out as well. So far I’ve been excellent (comfortable and accurate) with the Springfield XD9 series. Glocks would have been good for me but that Glock Knuckle feeling is annoying for my thick fingers. I’ll see about the Springfield Hellcat Pro and Sig Sauer P365 X Macro (which just became CA compliant).
I also am considering Springfield XD45 Tactical in a CAA MCK (even though it may not be recommended in my state because of stupid rules).
A question, if that is an out of the box BCM what makes that better or different than say a out of the box PSA or Colt? As being a "Milspec" rifle to me would be relatively the same until you start to upgrade the rifle components. Also a suggestion when making your video watch your background (your shirt) I couldn't see the demonstration very well. But very good video and thank you.
14.5 is key, or 11.5 suppressed is available. I'd go that route
Either BCM, Geissele, ADM, DD, LMT.
Surefire Light, EoTech, sling.
Good to go. 👍🎯💪🇺🇲
Just grabbed myself a psa 16 mid-length rifle, I’ll be interested to see what I end up throwing on it down the line but I’m gonna get proficient with irons first I think
@@AllBraunZeroBrains Take it from someone who has put a lot of rounds down range. Save yourself the time and go right into a red dot. They are extremely intuitive and will make you much more proficient. You cant go wrong with an Eotech, If its a budgeting issue, toss a holosun on there to start. Other than a few nuances training with the dot with translate to future red dots if you choose to upgrade.
