Finally, I have been wanting a reputable gun reviewer to go over this gun.
Check out the Clover Tac channel. He has tested quite a few Girsan firearms
I have this gun and love it, couldn't recommend it more.
@Patrick O'Brien you can get these for under $400, a Beretta will be about $6-700.
@Patrick O'Brien yes
Indeed me too
Holy shit dude, you legitimately (probably by happenstance) answered my request on the other Girsan 1911 video. That's it man, I'm gonna subscribe to the patreon. This channel is too good to not support financially. Thanks for everything, outlaw.
Chris, do you have a bunch of "extra" content on your Patreon channel?? I'm willing to pay for extra content, but actually get pissed at channels that offer the exact same content on their Patreon as they do in their TH-cam channel. If I'm going to pay for something that's already free, I'm an idiot, not a cheap skate.....
@@bryanduchane2371 is a cup of coffee per month gonna break the bank?
I literally put this in my GBroker watchlist earlier this week - WOW. Crazy coincidence or the universe pulling all things together 🤔
@BMS4Tech just do what I did and buy it now before you can't. The AWB just got reintroduced and it includes everything above a 10rd capacity.
@@robl884 rotten bastards!
The Beretta de-cocker kit fits this gun. I installed it on mine. Can’t beat this gun for the price. Filled my M9 desire perfectly.
Nice! Good info!
Yep. The Beretta G trigger kit does indeed work in the Girsan. It amazes me how smooth the Turkish pistol is.
Thanks for the info, I heard that the Langdon Tactical trigger bar fits too.
Anybody got any good holsters that it will fit
I own a Girsan Regard MC 9mm. Best shooting pt-92 style pistol i Ever shot.! I got over 600 rounds thru mine. Zero Negative issues whatsoever
I got a base model of the regard for $300 + tax. Love it! I'm "poor," so almost all I own are "budget guns." I enjoy trying to see how much value I can get out of the cheapest package. I loved the regard from the first second I was handed it by the gun store clerk and dry fired it.
nothing wrong with budget guns honestly, broke people deserve to defend themselves too and more importantly i'm not spending 800 dollars on a 400 dollar gun just because it has a specific name brand attached to it lol
This Girsan always goes in my range bag.
I have a Regard and its been fantastic! I bought 1 from the recommendation of a friend who has 1. No regrets at all, runs smooth, easy to shoot with no malfunctions and i’ve put 500 rnds through it so far. It’s a great pew and for the price it can’t be beat!
$500 gun, 100 yards, incredible accuracy 👏 thanks for the review Outlaws
He hit a 6 inch target at 100yds with a $500 handgun?!!!.... I know it's his skill level, but a Beretta 92 is the most accurate centerfire handgun I've ever shot. I also had a .40 Taurus of this design that was very accurate & reliable too.
the joy on his face when he hits seemingly tough shots is priceless
Dare I say I take this over a Beretta …I have the Girsan Regard MC Sport gen 4…love it!!
I was able to Keyhole shot after shot within 15yrds, with bad eyes using one of these, super accurate and confident shot placement. It’s like plinking but with 9mm. My buddy and I did a test where we loaded 5 rounds into each, Taurus TX22, Gen 5 Glock 19, Girsan Regard MC, and a Sig Sauer M18. We scored the most shots with the Girsan, then the TX22, Sig in 3rd with the Glock 19 being fourth with most amount of shots accurately placed. We did this 2-3 times with the same results each time, Unbelievable results for a $400 9mm.
Damn dude winter starts late in Iowa. One of the best parts about this channel is seeing two married people having fun together as best friends. It's positively refreshing.
I have this exact gun for 2 years now and love it !
Got my Regard a few months ago. Saw your videos on the other Girsans, so I gave it a try when i saw it for sale. It is now my favorite gun to shoot! Got an Mcarbo spring kit to lighten the trigger, and made it even better.
This is a *Girsan* _Regard MC BX_ (It's called the _Yavuz 16 Xtreme_ in Turkey). The BX variant here is a threaded-barrel version of the _Regard MC Gen.3_ which adds the attachment rail. The _Gen.4_ adds a see-through window on the pistol grip allowing you to see how much ammo you have in there.
I'm always glad to see you review great budget friendly guns!
Have had one for about 6 years put around 10000 rounds through it great gun no problem ever ..
Kudos to the camera person! The encouragement and professionalism greatly added to the video IMHO. I've been back and forth on this vs. the pt92 and this was very informative, thanks!
Love your work! Great shooting today! Thanks for the impartial reviews!
Love the channel. Got my girsan a few weeks ago. Own 2 real berreta 92fs and I'm extremely happy with this girsan Mc. Have a few hundred rounds through it already. Very happy with it. Not one jam or hick up.
I bought one of these on January 2020, just as a beater gun it’s one of the standard black ones, I think it was just under $400 back then. Has been shot almost every trip to the range, accurate as yours is, super reliable, lubed every couple of trips never once cleaned. I’ll say this, Girsan knows what they are doing
I have that pistol, and I was surprised too that it shoots accurately better than my other ones, I even told my local firearms dealer that I just purchased a very good one from them. Thanks for the review it actually validated my take on the gun which I shared to my friends. Now it's not only me who says that the gun is reliable and accurate..
If you want Beretta 92/m9 factory magazines to lock the slide back on these guns all you have to do is replace the slide catch with a beretta one, they will fit fine and work. The little finger that catches the follower is just slightly shorter on the girsan's stock slide catch. Mec Gar magazines don't have this issue but will work fine with either catch because the follower is closer to the edge of the magazine when empty. It's the only part I replaced on my Regard.
I load 30 round OEM magazines into mine just fine with lockback and everything, a lot of fun.
Reply for info the 92/m9 magazines do lock the slide back the cx4 30 round mags lock back with a slide lock replacement or modified 92/m9 mag follower
Mine came with a MecGar mag and I can confirm it'll work out of the box; I'll be on the lookout for an OEM slide catch though since that'll get me more mag options.
They have done very well with this gun, I’ve had mine for about 3mos and I love it. 💪🏾
I have the exact same Regard variant and I love it. I'm glad you finally did a video on it and shoot it so well. It makes me feel even better about my purchase. I also put an X300 on mine and got the X-Fer holster for it. I'm just waiting for my Obsidian 9 to get out of jail, so I can practice drawing from the holster and firing while it's suppressed at the range.
This expert in guns is one of the best in the country!
Thank you so very much!
Really glad to see you review this pistol, I bought one of these last year for $424 shipped to my FFL. Really enjoyable and accurate shooter.
I want to say this is the first video I saw on this gun that discusses where to run the slide. I am fairly new to guns and thanks for what you do.
I purchased one of these about 15 months ago and have been totally happy with it. Had never heard of Girsan before but later found out that they are a NATO approved weapon supplier and ISO9001 certified. Pistol has been 100% reliable and every bit as accurate as my M9-A3 and M9-A4. Fit and finish is as good or better than Beretta. The pistol however is not an exact clone of the Beretta. The locking block lugs and slide locking grooves are cut at a slight angle where the Beretta is cut straight vertical to the slide Everything else seems to be the same. Also, forgot to mention that Beretta grip screw holes don't exactly align with the Girsan grip frame screw holes. Dimensionally they are off by about 1/32" between the two frame screw holes. You can make grips designed for Beretta fit the Girsan with a little careful needle file work on the grip screw holes. As the Outlaw demonstrated, this pistol is super accurate. As most owners have found, it is astonishingly accurate. The only downside I've found is that the cerakote is not super durable.
Love that smile and laugh man. You and your wife seem like fine people. Hope you guys do this for decades to come. I really enjoy all the info and lessons.
Thank you so much for reviewing this video. I’m actually purchasing this same color fire arm wanted to look at the reviews but now looking at the video and you explaining it correctly and perfectly. I’m glad that I’m getting this gun. Another one for my collection. Thank you sir for the video for shooting it and demonstrating it how it works your honesty is gold definitely going to subscribe to your videos for more reviews and future purchases once again thank you for being truthful and awesome work. Thank you bud.😊
I have one and I love it. Bought it a couple years back for $350
i been eyeing one of these for some time now, thanks for the review
I'm in shock that you don't have a a million subs yet. Love Girsan, love your reviews. Thank you.
Thank you brother for what you do! You are my go to guy when I want to get an honest opinion on a gun! Keep it up! 👍🏻🇺🇸
I have this same Girsan and recommended it to some of my friends who bought one because of it. Fantastic gun for real! Thanks Chris!
Thank you!
I have one. I agree. Great gun. Shoots like butter straight out of the box. Great video. 👍🏽
Got one of these a few years back and it was pretty great! Only had a few hundred rounds through it before I sold it. Wish I didn’t but I ran into a pinch and had to part ways with it. Super fun gun, no issues, felt great in the hand, and the price was great. There’s a lot of great competition for the price but this certainly is an option that shouldn’t be overlooked.
I like this pistol. The only reason I don't own it is that due to a lucky break and LEO pricing, I got a Beretta 92-X brand new for $510. I might pick one up anyway. It seems to work fine. The banter between you and your wife is priceless.
Thank you Sir! Picking one up at my local gun shop. :) Great review as always!
These Turkish guns are KINGS for the price. Girsan makes some good ones... hopefully I'll be able to snag one of their 1911's here in a few months. They're great.
Man's just in the road absolutely dinging every shot! 😅 so awesome man. You're the goat I pray you live forever!
I have one of these, love the thing. Great to see this video man, thanks.
First of all, THANK YOU for FINALLY getting this gun, I have been wanting to see you do a review on this gun for almost 3 years now. As a matter of fact I picked one of these guns up a few months ago (black regard mc BX model) and its been AWESOME. Bought some mil-surp m9 mags and they work flawlessly in this gun, It has been my edc woods gun and has been VERY reliable. I only have about 75 rounds through it though (9mm ammo AINT cheap anymore lol) looking foward to seeing the long term reliability of the girsan. One other thing, you can get these guns WITH an optic if you look for them
Have the Girsan regard mc 9mm for a couple years and it is one great gun, will shoot any ammo I've ever put in it and hollow points with no trouble, put it up against my rugers, s/w pro series 9mm, glock 19, and was cheaper than any of them and not any problems, mine is black and have no wear on metal on pistol and I do carry it, can't deal with small guns. Great Video
I picked this one up earlier this year from the best gun shop in the country Trojan Arms & Tactical. I love it. Haven't had any issues with it amd shoots great.
I've been looking at these forever. It's on my list to get soon.
I just purchased the Girsan MC28 SA T. I hear they make great guns for the money. I can't wait to see that for myself. You're a great shot with a steady hand & a sharp eye. Thanks for these great videos!
You are a hero keep up the good work. Solid reviews no nonsense no politics no snide comments. Gun reviews and just gun reviews. If the guns preforms the gun preforms, and when they don't you explicitly say in what way and possibly why they didn't and test; mags, ammo, grip, users etc. to confirm if it was fluke or general. Ames, IA favorite son imo.
I absolutely LOVE mine. Mine is surgical at 50 yards all day long. The slide is soooo smooth. I paid $350 for mine minus the threaded barrel.
I have their version of the M9 and love it. Never any problems and trusted it so much I carried it on duty
I just want to say I've watched your channel quite a bit and regardless of your choice Mr. Outlaw you are a remarkable shooter. That is all
I have been waiting for this review to see what you thought about it, I bought mine about 4 months ago and it's at about 700 with zero malfunctions
I like the Gen 3 where you can see your ammo through the window of the grips.
Girsan reminds me of canik in a sense. Both quite inexpensive yet seem to run better than the “name brand” versions. My rival is the most amazing handgun I’ve ever had the pleasure of shooting and it was half/a third of the price of its competition
That's just how Turkey is
And sarzilmaz
For the longest time, I thought Canik firearms were Canadian made, just because of the brand name! 😂
Awesome video Chris, glad to see the Regard MC working accurately 🔥 keep up the good work
Very cool weapon, great shooting too.
Been eyeing these for a bit.
Love the "No Snot" line
When I worked in Illinois one winter we called that "Snotcicles"
Finally a gun that I bought before Honest Outlaw!
I have the White out with the black barrel version of this pistol.
So far Zero malfunctions, at around 400 rounds through the firearm.
The action feels slick when racking the slide, like glass on glass, I have some fairly high end 1911’s that have been through surface to surface polishing that don’t feel as nice.
The trigger needs a little work but the Grisan Regard has been a fantastic tool so far.
Just bought one! Thanks for the review.
While I know you are talking about a girsan pistol. Let me tell you I got my hands on a girsan mc312 shotgun last year for duck season (I own beretta, benelli, etc.). That girsan mc312 was my go to as I loved the gun and it ran flawless in freezing temps, snow, etc where a lot of autoloaders show their colors firing wet shells. My friend ( a die hard mossberg fan) bought it off of me for over msrp and sold his mossberg one week later. Girsan is doing amazing things and their prices are out of this world.
You and Mrs Outlaw are my go to for pistol reviews for anybody who asks me. Love the work you guys do. I am curious how these budget Beretta's from Girsan are. Wow, Glad to see that these Beretta clones are just as nice as Girsan's 1911's! Girsan is knocking it outa the park. I've never owned or shot a Beretta but I may get one of these Girsan's someday. Great shooting as always! I agree the cold makes me miserable too. Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s a beautiful thing to see you get to enjoy wha t you do every day . Your smile after hitting the 6 inch wide target at 100 yards is like a kid at a candy store.🎉
You can install the Beretta factory decocker G kit into the Girsan, I put the G kit into my Gersan MC and it made a very good gun great!
Great video! I love my 92, rarely head to the range without my Inox in the bag.
Finally, I have been waiting for this video since he covered Girsans other guns.
I have one of these & it’s fantastic. Every bit as smooth & reliable as any Beretta I’ve shot. Paid $350 brand new.
I stupidly sold mine a year or two ago. i really miss that gun. Such a good gun for the money. Great first shot!
I have a 4-inch M-9 version, blued, no rail, which I bought about 3 years ago. Awesome shooter, accurate and carries will in appendix carry! Lots of rounds through it and no issues!
I've been considering buying one of these. My first firearm was a Girsan MC 1911 ST govt. and I had a few issues with it before sending it back twice to EAA and them finally fixing it. Customer service was really great and I ended up getting an additional magazine, new g10 grips, whiskey coasters and a rebuilt gun out of it. A little jaded, but still considering buying more Girsan firearms. Glad to see someone I trust with excellent firearm reviews do a review on this. Much appreciated to you Chris and Mrs Outlaw for the content.
Bro, don't do it.

I have the MC R9 and I love it. Really tough to find a holster though. I got one from Concealment Express, but I really want one that secures the gun better. If you’re thinking about getting this gun, so it. Price and quality is unbeatable. Thanks for the review!
The R9s seem to be reasonably rare in the States. I have one also and so far like it quite a bit, especially since it is a Brigadier style 92 for under $500. The different sweep of the beavertail is interesting, too.
Been looking at this and Phx AZ gunshow next week so I'll be looking out for one of these. Love the videos
Bought this on the fly while in my LGS and it became my immediate winter EDC after about 30 minutes at the range. Accurate, reliable thus far, and is a beauty to look at in person
Carry after 30 minutes? I find that crazy.
Was driving up to NC from Florida all night last night and listened to both of your m9a4 reviews. Going to buy that sucker when i get home! Itll match my fde tomcat!
Excellent. I have been waiting for this review.
Holy mackeral, that is some serious shooting skills outlaw! I almost bought one but waited to buy a Ruger PCC 9. I love the Ruger carbine but wow that Girsan is high quality for a budget gun!
Been waiting for this review!!!!! I've sl been interested in this gun. And as far as the coating wearing already me personally I like the wear and tear look. Makes it look more rugged.
This is the second review that I thought was gonna fail. The first was the Bear Creek AR15. With modern tech you don't have to pay an arm and a leg to get a great firearm. You got me sold on this one. I have a 1994 Inox 92fs and about 20 military mags and 10 Kci 30 round mags. I will have 3 guns that take the same mags, 92fs, sub2000 and soon the Regard. Thanks. BY the way, I got my Bear Creek after your review.
Bought my wife one she absolutely loves it. Dead nuts reliable Dead nuts accurate. Great firearm even if you get the $400 model. Solid solid gun for the dollar.
I've been wanting the girsan regard for a while, I hear it is a fantastic gun, and my brother in law owned one and the machining was beautiful.
After owning mine for a year this review went exactly like I thought it would.
I moved to Texas over a decade ago and I have never regretted it.
I've had mine for 3 yrs now thousands of rounds still no problems at all I'm a bigger guy and carry this gun all the time I have 5 girsans and impressed by every one
Holy shit Chris, you really sold me on the little gun. What an incredible tack driver that MC is man just WOW! Think I’ll grab one as I have no Beretta M4 variants. Always on time Chris and Miss Chris :)
Love mine. Have had it several years now. Never an issue. Love the p35 also
I've been watching gun channels since TH-cam started. Your opinions (almost across the board) are gospel to me. And now, you just cost me $500!!!
Easy to lighten the trigger pull, first order of business, replace the hammer spring with 12#. I LOVE the grips on the Regard with the finger groves.
@Sourpusscandy Those finger grooves are surprisingly comfortable. I wouldn't have expected it.
Awesome video as always. I love the Beretta designs. Would like to see a deeper dive into the Taurus TH9 and TH9c
Solid review as all ways. Think I may make this my next purchase. I'm ready to see the 1000 round review.
I have a feeling that no matter what's in Chris' hand ...he will make it look good and appealing....the most trusted reviews on the tube .
Love your content Honest Outlaw!
Ooh glad to hear that the gunsmith opportunities are still good, I've been really wanting to pursue it but education wise not exactly in the best spot, and I mean I absolutely love guns but im sure it takes more than personalized knowledge to be able to efficiently gunsmith, at least beyond certain platforms
I am impressed by the 3 Girsans you have reviewed. I wish I could get Girsan in Guatemala. Great review
What can you get in Guatemala? You have constitutional rights so I would assume alot of US imports ?
@@stoegerstewie8351 Imports is possible for arms dealers, none have Girsan yet. We find some well known brands like: Glock, CZ, Beretta, Taurus and others. Buying is not difficult, nor concealed carry with a license. But defending your self gets you in big problems even for the police.
@@mopiktm9480 sounds like here in the US depending on the state you like in.
The best channel on TH-cam for reviews....by a mile!
This makes me so damn happy because I passed up an m92fs that was almost 300 more than this and I got the two tone, and so far I absolutely love it
I have had one for a few years. Put the MCarbo spring kit in it... Holy smokes! Best shooting pistol I have.
I have the gen 4 mc sport with the decocker only, mag windows, extended mag release, and dovetailed front and rear sights. Wish I could've gotten the threaded barrel and another mag with it but it's still a great gun.
Great review Honest Outlaw.
This Girsan actually has several features that are better than the Beretta 92 (and I love the Beretta 92 platform):
- Better slide serrations
- (Subjective) better back strap curve (more shallow) than the original 92 (not Vertec)
- Steel guide rod
- Takedown lever automatically snaps into position when the slide is reassembled onto the frame
- Nicer mag release (more pronounced) than the original (not the extended one on the Vertec)
- One more notch (4 total) in the light rail than Berettas with rails have
- I’m partial to the finger grooves (I didn’t know if I would like them, but they work great for me)
I did change out the the hammer strut spring for a 14 pound one from LTT, as well as the slide stop/release. The Girsan’s slide stop/release has a shorter finger, which may prevent certain Beretta mags from locking back.
Never mind the price - overall this is a wonderful, high quality pistol. Extremely reliable and accurate, and a pleasure to shoot.
Impressive shooting…
I thought Seattle weather was bad. It’s either very cold , windy , or too hot there.
Must be the good people and politics that keeps you there.
Really appreciate your channel.
Thanks for all the time and effort you both put into it.
Puyallup resident, holla🖐
I'm in Phila PA and have been listening to Christmas music all week
I have the Regard Gen4. Their "competition" model, or one of them. I love it to death. The added gas pedal and the g style decocker are worth it all for me.
