Yes you're a class ACT for sure!! Loved how you said I even went through Chicago!! Let me tell you which Illinois is the last place you wanna be!! Because it's the last place I wanna be. I was born and raised here but there's a really really nice pop son in law business that's where I went and bought my first G2C 15rd mag GREAT Great Great gun!! Yes they are priced and ammo they are proud of but they do for a shit State keep Firearm's on the shelf!! As I will always and only buy veteran owned places. But I got another one EXACT SAME gun because I loved it that much. As this one I don't like because 12rd mags I hate personally just are loose on the side you walk it moves in the firearm that much. But just me!! I second this as well I can get unbelievably 60 yards every other sometimes whole mag. But 50 every time you're Target is hit for sure!! But don't have neither anymore due to being a single dad of a young 8 year lady. And being in this shit State!! They cut me off at the knees and run. It's crazy because 300 isn't allot of money to me but goodness I can't pull ahead. I really want the G3C now which will see. Praying for the world to change for the BETTER. But yes really cool what you do for little ones. Shows what kinda person you are. God bless!! Know you're in a better state then me lol. Take care boss!!
@AmericanRace4me I’d agree with you but I’d switch democrat news with conservative news outlasts pushing the narrative that all the cities are burning... for example I live right outside Portland and can say with confidence the city is fine and is not a war zone like certain news sights were saying in the summer
@AmericanRace4me ... I just told you I live near Portland. It was a 2 block area that had violent protests during the day you could find plenty of normal protests. And what makes you believe a support chaz ? Jesus Christ everyone jumps to assumptions
I can't thank you enough for all the work you put into this list. You've made a huge research project into a manageable and informed hunt for a reliable weapon.
Its a really good option. I wanted to learn how to use firearms but didnt have the money to buy a Sig or a Glock. I definitely plan on getting a Sig P365 or a Glock 43 next year once things start calming down.
@@Fabyfakid I got the G3 for my 1st gun and still absolutely love it. Not too small or too big. Perfect 1st gun...great for getting used to shooting at the range.
i had one for a while. One thing i noticed was that this pistol had a lot of features found on say my shield but at about half the cost. I would feel confident with a g2c or g3c. Taurus have stepped their game up a lot.
It was cool to hear him say the G3C at the end. Most people think they are just a cheap alternative. I have a couple Glocks and a Ruger. I do have a G3C TORO (TORO is optics ready)also. I have to say my G3C is my favorite one to shoot with the optics. I think I have close to 1000 rounds through it and no issues (even the cheapest ammo). My gal had a couple issues with limp wrist but she was able to correct it quickly and now she wants it to be hers... lol. Soooo, I just bought her the G2C yesterday for $250.... great guns.
I'm not sure anyone has told you this recently, but i personally admire your astute knowledge and uncannily instinctive manipulations of various firearms of all platforms and calibers. You shoot well, speak well, and are very humble and scholarly in your approach. Thank you for all you do Outlaw- any enthusiast should definitely include you in their research citations when justifying a firearm related decision... especially so given the current market! All the best brother *edited for grammar*
I agree with the Taurus G series. It's one of my best sellers at my shop. When people come in that don't want to spend Sig/Glock money on a compact, I always recommend the G2C.
The fact that you'd put 3 Brazilian guns in the thumbnail really brings a smile to me. And it's nice to see you mention rossi two times, there are very few reviews of them in the bigger gun channels. Greetings from Brazil
@@ofidiotabagista5259 They are all made by CBC now (Taurus and Rossi). Still Brazilian though. I just got a .357 mag Rossi lever-action and I really like it so far. Smooth action and good trigger. I'm in Germany and almost everyone in my gun club has at least one Rossi lever-action. They're relatively easy to get around here (no extra application needed like for semi-autos) and they don't break the bank, but they are super fun to shoot!
I bought my G3C as my first gun in December and I love it! This review made me happy, your out of the box review and 1,000 round review were the videos that led me to buying it. Enjoy the videos big tim man!
I have had my G3C for nearly a year now and it has never given me an ounce of trouble. It will feed and eat just about any ammo you throw at it; however, I found that it likes 124gr and up or subsonic rounds best. It will run whatever you choose but for dead on accuracy off hand shooting for me I run 124gr. My carry ammo and some of the most accurate out of the G3C is the Fort Scott TUI 125gr subsonic. It performed far better than the HST in 124 that I typically ran in all my other 9mms. For 286 after tax it was quite the value. I did do one modification to it right out of the box and it is not so much a mod as it is a service. I took the pistol completely apart and high speed polished the entire fire group components and the feed ramp with jeweler's Rouge and a soft wool wheel on a dremel. It makes all the difference in the world on how it performs especially with somewhat flatter faced hollowpoint rounds. I have never had a feed issue and my trigger is buttery smooth. I am going to upgrade to a steel dual captive guiderod and striker guide like I did with the G2C, and it will get a Keep Tinkering trigger upgrade to alleviate the double strike feature and remove a huge amount of the take up and over travel of the stock trigger in single action. I did all these to the G2C and put XS DXT sights on it and it was an incredible pistol but money got tight and well my buddy had just got his CC permit and needed his first carry pistol. He offered me a price I could not refuse and reused to give me less knowing all the work I had done to it. He had gone to the range and shot the pistol with me several times and fell in love with it, so now the G3C will get the same love. I do not care what anyone thinks, I had over 10k rounds down range with my G2 without a single failure ever and have close to 1500 down range with my G3C in stock configuration with the same success. I will say this, the G3C has a far better stock trigger than my G2C had and the only reason I am switching it out is to reduce the length of pull and increase the distance from backstrap to where the trigger breaks. The Pseudo-Backstrap by Keep Tinkering is amazing especially for those who have larger hands and long fingers as the trigger reach is extended and the break occurs at virtually where the takeup begins on the stock trigger. I am looking for an APX or a PX4 Storm for an OWB duty gun for security gigs. I think that should have been one of your honorable mentions because that PX4 Storm is fairly light recoiling, pleasurable to shoot with good ergonomics, and is insanely reliable. They come in around the high 400 to low 500 range and can be found in several size variations full, compact, subcompact, tactical SF, threaded for suppressor and in multiple colors as well as in 9mm or .40 S&W. JMO it is your list but if any of you reading this have never shot one, you owe it to yourself to give it a run because it surprised the hell out of me at the rental range. I am a big CZ fan when it comes to DA/SA pistols and I would take the PX4 storm over a P07 any day of the week. Go see Outlaws review of this from 2019.
I've never heard of anyone polishing the fire control group before. That sounds like a great idea, but without a Dremel, my plan is to just grease it more. I ordered some G3c parts from Galloway Precision and Lakeline to beef up the plastic parts for longevity and reduce muzzle flip, but I haven't tested out the 18lbs guide rod yet, although I hear it's good. I keep hearing mixed opinions about the triggers, so I'm not sure yet about changing mine. I'm leaving my barrel the same for now, just for appearance and to save money, but I want to eventually try one of Lakeline's barrels if I can get the spending money. I have 147gr JHP but I need to switch over to 124gr because I've seen 147gr fail to open from the lack of velocity due to the barrel length. For sights, I just have the iron sights on a standard stainless steel slide, but I did get a green Viridian for dry fire practice. It's my first and only gun, so I have to make the most of it, but I also love it, so I'm giving it the upgrades it needs to perform better for longer.
My edc is a canik tp9sf and I absolutely swear by it. I love it, its reliable, its controllable and it its beyond accurate right out of the box. And I am buying a SF elite next and its going to be one gun company I always come back to. Highly recommended
Don't forget people, when you're shooting a lever chambered in 357 or 44, you're getting better velocity than the handgun. I loved it when James Yeager of tactical response said that basically all the name brands are reliable like glocks nowadays. Thanks.
David Hudson, love your comment absolutely love it! I too grew up with westerns and you’re right the six shooter never ever answer reports. My dad who is a Detroit cop carried one a little tiny one and he’s never ran out of bullets either because he never shot it! He just carried it in his belt. Love your comment, GaveMe a happy start to the day and a good laugh thank you
I have a G2C. It is my first ever handgun purchase, and I love it. It’s my EDC, and I recommend it to anyone. I’ve had it since February, and never had a malfunction. I usually go to the range once a week and go through about 50+ rounds through it each time.
Nathan Banks Hey, I purchased mine in April. I hadn’t had a handgun in years, sense I was in the military. I had believed, that I was pretty much safe. Until all the riots happened this spring, then I didn’t! That’s when I purchased my Taurus G2c 9mm. I have mine with; 15 round G3 magazines w/ Bloody-Wheels Spacers, various high quality hollow point ammunitions “Federal HST’s and SuperVel SCHP’s”, a Baldr Mini Weapon-Light, a Rack Assist Back Plate from Galloway Precision. Our G2c’s are great weapons!
@@jdwest4604 I got the 15 round mag for my G2c, I use Underwood Xtreme Defender ammo, that ammunition will send your ass off to that new place if you're on the receiving end, plus it can penetrate level II body armor, Level III will stop it, but even with Level III armor on, you take a hit your still getting knocked on your ass.
Sir, you are a right as you can be. I purchased the Taurus G3 last month and have the G3c on back order. The G3 is everything you say it is and more and the price is perfect. Thank you for your review. Jesse Wayne
Thank you as always, Honest Outlaw. After reviewing your videos, I purchased Taurus G3C and Extar EP9 for my home defense, and they are the excellent combination!!!
Great roundup of available guns. I appreciated that you didn’t have to have all the super pricey brands that not everyone can afford, a quality firearm can be had a a reasonable price point. Good points about available ammunition as well. I grew up an Iowa farm boy myself. Cheers from WI.
A “Public Service Announcement” is what this video could have been entitled. It is chock full of solid information that is especially useful in this time of multiple concerns by the public at large. Thank you for producing this video!
I’m 72 by the grace of God and a good trauma surgeon. I bought my first .22LR rifle and pistol at age 16. I bought the rifle mail order back when the government still trusted its citizens. I’ve watched four of your videos straight. You sir, are a genius. My son recently talked me into upgrading to an AR-15 and a SW9-M&P. I’ve had them a few years, and I’ve come to like them a lot, but my best combination all purpose guns was a Ruger double action revolver and Winchester lever action rifle, both in .357. I don’t feel any better protected with my fancy new guns than I did with that pair of .357s. I’m glad you point out the value of these older designs especially for people who can’t get an AR or magazine fed semi-automatic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not so hot on the accessory list, but all I wanted was night sights to be honest. Depending on which holster company you choose, the Delta’s almost exactly Glock 19 size, so a Glock 19 holster *can* be used. I have 500 rounds through mine, and with no failures it makes the price tag look even better! It comes with one 15 round, and one 17 round mag.
@James Smith "pretty sure"? Stop spouting what you hear on the internet. I still have 3 century aks but they're all milled guns which suck less than their stamped guns. If the gun buying panic gets a little more feverish, they'll all be gone for whatever I can get. Stop assuming you know much of anything much less what I have personally experienced. PSA is absolutely killing century at the moment and it will take a small miracle to turn that around.
I just bought an APX Centurion as my first pistol after seeing your reviews. I happened to have already owned the Rossi .357 and Remington 870 20 gauge since I was in high school. They are great guns.
Right On, Honest Outlaw! The very best video I have seen on purchasing, a self defense weapon in a long time! Keep up the great work! Be Safe! My Taurus G2c 9mm. I have mine with; 15 round G3 magazines w/ Bloody-Wheels Spacers, various high quality hollow point ammunitions “Federal HST’s and SuperVel SCHP’s”, a Baldr Mini Weapon-Light, a Rack Assist Back Plate from Galloway Precision. I started purchasing back in the spring, because of the riots. The exact weapon and components I purchased, are because of the Honest Outlaw, DC Channel Guns and 2a Edu TH-cam channels! Be Safe!
i been having luck every Friday at my local sports store with 9m ammo tip: find a store close to your house that makes it easy for you to get there 20 min before they open and ask when they get new shipments
My g2c is absolutely the sickest pistol I have bought in years ... got Beretta 92f 32 round mags I customized and fit before met gar made one for it . I run circles around everyone at the range with a subcompact 🤣😂
You have probably the PT111 Millennium G2 Version... the same I have and don't sell or change for any other gun at the same price range. Great gun and never disappointed me.
I feel bad for you dude. where do you live if you don't mind? Every man\woman should have the right to own wherever they please. If a govt doesn't trust their citizens with firearms they aren't doing their job properly.
@@alexduke5402 Dominican Republic, a mere Glock 19 cost 5,500 USD down here. Stupid taxes keeping criminals armed to the teeth and decent people always suffer because incompetent politicians are in charge.
@@makatron oh man, that sucks! I feel for you. It's relatively easy to be an actual gun collector IMO here in the US for low$$ compared to that amount you have to pay.
Taurus G3 is a hell of a gun. There, I said it. Never thought I ever say that about a Taurus. Everyone that i let shoot it ended up buying one. I have put thousands of rounds through mine and its been flawless.
Same experience with my G3 and the G3C I got last month. I’ve yet to have a single malfunction from either running different range and defense rounds. The G3C is my EDC now, went shooting with a friend and shot their Glock 43. Figured it would be a great comparison to the G3C due to being similar size. G3C shoots “easier” for me with less recoil and didn’t have any issues, double the capacity of the Glock as well. No contest for me
I just discovered your videos but for obvious reasons you’ve quickly become my favorite channel. You’re filling an important niche right now. Thank you
isaiah m , you must have your head in the sand. In many cities they are on day 100-120 of “protesting” The left is saying they will burn the country down if Trump steals the election, the right is saying they will not comply if Biden steals the election. Ammo is a thing of the past, many guns as well. There’s militia forming on both ‘sides’, and so on and so forth. ‘Civil war’ is even being spoken of on mainstream news you are sitting here trying to be funny.
@@scottwest9299 Jesus Christ man, you are sewing division based on nutty media you are consuming. The left wants cops to stop murdering people of color. The left wants you and them to be able to go to a doctor without going into debt and losing your house.
I love that you werent too big to include a .22. My wife and kids are in mind when im talking fun at the range and this was valuable info for me. Thanks
I remember when I got my Taurus G3C back in July. Love it so far and haven't had any issues even after 500 rounds. PS: My dad's GF also just gave me one of her husband's old Mossberg 500. Needs a little cleaning but already looking at an 18" barrel and some other upgrades.
Lever actions in the 1800's could have been viewed as their assault rifles. I find that funny to think about especially in 357 Magnum. Lots of firepower capacity and speed of delivery.
As a left-handed rifle shooter (left eye dominant), I love me some ambidextrous lever actions! If I had to get rid of all but 3 of my guns, I'd keep my .357 lever action, my .357 revolver, and my 12 gauge pump. Lots of versatility in those 3. Hunt practically anything in the lower 48, self-defense, punch paper, falling steel, spinners, and bust clays.
@@kellyrobinson1780 Totally agree with you. I am a big fan of .357 revolvers and the fact that you have a powerful round that you can use in both a long gun as well as a handgun makes me love the round even more.
I have both the TX22 and a G3 Taurus. I love the TX22, I got it for my wife and teenage daughter who wanted to learn how to shoot and they absolutely love it. I got the G3 for myself and I have 0 complaints about it. I got a Crimson Trace light for it and I couldn't be happier.
D1337ThisGuy ST-U!! The Commie trash may move here! We ran most all of the commie trash out on a rail in my state. It so bad here for the Communist, they cant find a person to run for office unless its a ghetto seat.
Of all the guns that I have my lever action 30-30 is my favorite, it feels like a trusted old friend that is always there for you. It might be the influence of watching westerns as a child.
@@pnotuner1 I can't argue with your points. It does make sense for many kids. But I believe a motivated kid can develop these skills on any platform. This brings to mind a story told by 22 Plinkster. He told of his father giving him 10 .22 rounds, then telling him he wanted him to bring home 10 squirrels. That example is part of how he developed his precise shooting skills. So for him, the platform didn't matter. He developed his precission no doubt through the example, instruction & expectations from his father.
Taurus ♉ PT111 and PT140 Millineum G2 later on G2 C was the best gun Taurus has made in decades and has saved that company from going under. If you want a conceal carry gun for daily carry or gun range get it you will love them. I have 4 3 in 9mm and 1 in 40sw I would put them against more expensive brands any day and time. And the 9mm version takes Sig 226 mags like butter on bread for a higher capacity if needed
First time I ever heard that, I was a teenager, parked outside of a drugstore. A friend had gone in for cigarettes or a snack or something, and I was waiting for him. Just sitting there paying no mind to anything in particular, and from behind me and to my left comes, "ka-CHAK!" Never heard it live before, but I KNEW what it was. My head snapped around of it's own will, and I saw 3 cops go in at a normal walk, the one holding the shotgun straight up vertical leading the way. My friend came out the other door only a few quick seconds later, not as a consequence, just in natural order, and got in my car. I asked, he knew nothing, and we waited. A few minutes later, the officers came out normally; no excitement, no perp. I never knew what was going on, but I'll always remember my first time hearing a shotgun being racked live for possible business use.
I picked up a new full size Taurus G3. Out of the box I immediately had out of battery problems. I polished the feed ramp with fine emery cloth, removed all the factory sticky gunk, and gave it a super duper cleaning. No feed, or out of battery problems now. And I bought it new for 220 bucks. Great piece for a great price.
After going to 3 Academy locations i was able to find a Taurus G2C & purchased it. What struck me as odd, was the fact that at each location every employee at the Gun/Ammo department tired their best to talk me out of buying a Taurus. They all said the same thing, that Taurus is a low budget gun that those Not compare in reliability to the Glock, S&W, Sig & Beretta. I did some research online & on TH-cam, and for the most part the reviews have been good. I Thanks for your time & input on the videos you post, really helped me out in making this purchase.
@@bonnevillebagger9147 but do you really believe that all (and it's a bunch of them) of these reviewers are wrong about this Taurus gun? And would you trust an Academy sports & outdoors employee or a few of these reviewers?
I just picked up a 15 round magazine for my Taurus G2c, this magazine makes it feel a whole lot more comfortable to hold and control, plus instead of 12+1, I have now a compact 15+1. You can buy these 15 round mags direct from Taurus for around $36.
Agreed! I have the Taurus G3 and the G3c and I love them! They are my primary carry along with my Taurus Tracker 692 .357 Magnum which is my favorite revolver! Since Taurus was bought out in 2015 They are right up there with the big boys at a much lower price. Oh and, GO HAWKS!
Always loved the little 30-30 lever action. Always a fun gun and kills alot of game. Alot of people don't like the caliber but it takes game and super light to carry through heavy woods.
I had a really sweet Winchester .22lr lever, but I traded it back to my dad for a bull barrel, laminate full length stock Ruger 10/22. Blued metal with the gray/silver laminate. My carry gun is a Taurus G2c, still waiting on the TruGlo sights to come in the mail though. My home piece is a Springfield Armory XD 9 Service, kind of surprised you didn't have one of the XD series as at least an honorable mention.
Nice list! 3 Brazilian weapons, I'm impressed! 😂 Taurus is gradually cleaning up his bad reputation 🙌. Here in Brazil she is still hated by the police. By the way, maybe I would add a Bersa Thunder 380. Greetings from Brazil!
joão pelissari I really like my Bersa TPR9C. Sweet trigger in both DA and SA. Awesome accurate pistol that just runs. They usually cost just under the $400 mark but I bet they are now above that. I only have a few things I don't like about it. Expensive and hard to get mags. A safety lock. A polygonal barrel. Hard to take down the firing pin. That is about it. BTW, I have a Taurus G2c and its an accurate good running pistol.
A Brazilian recently told me that Taurus and Rossi have higher quality since CBC took over their production. I just bought a Rossi lever action that has a CBC stamp on the barrel and I'm very happy with it so far! The action is smooth and the trigger is really good.
@@maximilianmustermann5763 Interesting. Same Brazilian company that owns Magtech and Czechoslovakia- based Sellier & Bellot ammo. I think they also make the Mossberg Plinkster and similar rimfire rifles. They also own MEN Metallwerk Elisenhütte GmbH in Nassau, Germany. A pistol ammo company.
@@maximilianmustermann5763 I tell you what. I was looking at that Rossi Tuffy single shot .410/.45LC/.22 rimfire barrel combo and that thing would cover small game and home defense if you practiced with it. Not bad for $220 MSRP. Probably cheaper market cost. rossiusa.com/firearms/matched-pair/59-matched-pair-tuffy-410-ga-22-22-lr-18-5-black-stock
Shotgun loads vary so much that just racking the slide consistently is often more work than managing the recoil of some birdshot. The recoil from a 12gauge 2 3/4" of the higher# birdshot is mellow enough for my 70-yr old stepmother to shoot over and over. The lower # birdshot can be a very effective load for home defense, particularly in city dwellings where over-penetration among tight quarters becomes a major concern.
I just picked up a Staccato C2 this morning (Based on your Review). Was the last one on the list to get this year. Caught up for 2020 now waiting shotshow 2021. 😃😃😃
Highly recommend the Taurus G series. I have sold hundreds and have never had an issue with any of them. Neither 9mm nor 40. My personal DC is a G2c 40.
I love my Taurus PT111. The G series of guns are of great value at an awesome price point. You can often find a G series Taurus being sold in my town around $218 or so. The price for what you get is hard to beat.
I went a handled a Sig P226 legion yesterday. Amazing pistol but that price is a little crazy at $1200. I’m thinking to just wait until prices come back down or when they have sales again. I don’t NEED another pistol but I want one 😂.
Love my Taurus TX22...put a 1000 rounds of SK standard not a single issue. Amazingly accurate. Got it primarily for my son. Perfect gun for new or young shooters!
I've wanted an Old Henry lever action since I was a kid, my grandfather had one and taught me to shoot on it. They are just so expensive(for me) every time I've seen one available, one day I will have one tho!
Not so sure about the Rossi. I was just told in a gun shop in Germany that Rossi has insane lead times of up to 24 months right now. I'm guessing they can't keep up with the demand on the US market.
*EVERYTHING* gun related is just a clusterf@ck right now. Ammo, and firearm availability has thrown blood into the water, and it’s got gun owners everywhere in a feeding frenzy! So yeah I’m not too surprised, but I completely understand what you mean about Rossi.
I carry the Taurus G3 and love it. I have a Glock 27 40cal I used to carry but I picked the Taurus up in 9mm and the thing impressed the hell out of me. The accuracy was very surprising, became my full time carry pistol.
I vote for the firearm that you can get ammo for. In my area that means a .22 or Shotgun shells. I have improved my groupings after purchasing a .22 pistol and practicing more often at the range on the cheap. I can shot my other higher caliber pistols much faster and more accurately. Sometimes you need to take a step back to move two forward.
@@PistolB97 I payed closer too 400 probally over after taxes. Prices were dumb high and available super low in my local shops. Sucks. Such a rip off. Lol you dont even wanna know how much i paid for ammo
I got my son and his family the Mossberg 500 in 20 guage for in home defense. To me it is far more practical in urban home settings than the 12 gauge and very devastating at the range you would use inside your home. As an old guy, I am very much a 1911 and lever gun guy as well. Nice review !

@AmericanRace4me ... I just told you I live near Portland. It was a 2 block area that had violent protests during the day you could find plenty of normal protests. And what makes you believe a support chaz ? Jesus Christ everyone jumps to assumptions
@AmericanRace4me jorgenson
I can't thank you enough for all the work you put into this list. You've made a huge research project into a manageable and informed hunt for a reliable weapon.
I've watched enough Western movies 🎬 during my lifetime to know that the trusty old six-shooter never runs outta bullets. 🙄
Facts
🤣🤣🤣🤣
They must be the same manufacturers of the fast and the furious transmissions...
Hahahahahahaha 😁
The greatest handgun ever made, the Colt Single Action Army. 6 Bullets, more than enough to kill anything that moves.
I bought a G2c back in March, best decision I ever made, have learned so much from that little gun.
Same!
I brought mine last October love it my EDC my mom getting her one soon as we get those stimulus check I'm getting the g3 or g3c
Its a really good option. I wanted to learn how to use firearms but didnt have the money to buy a Sig or a Glock. I definitely plan on getting a Sig P365 or a Glock 43 next year once things start calming down.
@@Fabyfakid a glock 43 is a little too small for a pistol to learn on. I suggest something a little bigger so you'll enjoy practicing.
@@Fabyfakid I got the G3 for my 1st gun and still absolutely love it. Not too small or too big. Perfect 1st gun...great for getting used to shooting at the range.
I picked up a G3C last summer and it’s been a great EDC gun. Very reliable, small and easy to conceal. Two thumbs up.
i had one for a while. One thing i noticed was that this pistol had a lot of features found on say my shield but at about half the cost. I would feel confident with a g2c or g3c. Taurus have stepped their game up a lot.
I like my G3 but I have big hands so I like a little bigger gun but my brother’s wife loves her G3C
It was cool to hear him say the G3C at the end. Most people think they are just a cheap alternative. I have a couple Glocks and a Ruger. I do have a G3C TORO (TORO is optics ready)also. I have to say my G3C is my favorite one to shoot with the optics. I think I have close to 1000 rounds through it and no issues (even the cheapest ammo). My gal had a couple issues with limp wrist but she was able to correct it quickly and now she wants it to be hers... lol. Soooo, I just bought her the G2C yesterday for $250.... great guns.
G2C is my CCW and I love it. Got it about 5 years ago and I would recommend it to anyone
I'm not sure anyone has told you this recently, but i personally admire your astute knowledge and uncannily instinctive manipulations of various firearms of all platforms and calibers. You shoot well, speak well, and are very humble and scholarly in your approach. Thank you for all you do Outlaw- any enthusiast should definitely include you in their research citations when justifying a firearm related decision... especially so given the current market!
All the best brother
*edited for grammar*
thanks man!
I love the wear on that old 686. I had one stolen from me and I'm still not over it.
I agree with the Taurus G series. It's one of my best sellers at my shop. When people come in that don't want to spend Sig/Glock money on a compact, I always recommend the G2C.
When I sold guns I would sell more Taurus than anything. Sold out our whole stock in a day of the G series alone 20 some pistols.
The Taurus G series are very good reliable pistols.
The fact that you'd put 3 Brazilian guns in the thumbnail really brings a smile to me. And it's nice to see you mention rossi two times, there are very few reviews of them in the bigger gun channels. Greetings from Brazil
10 guns you should get right now. 3 of them are made by Taurus.
@@ofidiotabagista5259 They are all made by CBC now (Taurus and Rossi). Still Brazilian though.
I just got a .357 mag Rossi lever-action and I really like it so far. Smooth action and good trigger.
I'm in Germany and almost everyone in my gun club has at least one Rossi lever-action. They're relatively easy to get around here (no extra application needed like for semi-autos) and they don't break the bank, but they are super fun to shoot!
First time for me HERE..
I like how you DON'T piss around. You get to the POINT, demonstrate, and moved ON.. ! ... KEPT MY ATTENTION TILL DONE 👍
I bought my G3C as my first gun in December and I love it! This review made me happy, your out of the box review and 1,000 round review were the videos that led me to buying it. Enjoy the videos big tim man!
So glad you mentioned the lever action as a self defense piece. So underrated anyone can shoot one with accuracy
I have had my G3C for nearly a year now and it has never given me an ounce of trouble. It will feed and eat just about any ammo you throw at it; however, I found that it likes 124gr and up or subsonic rounds best. It will run whatever you choose but for dead on accuracy off hand shooting for me I run 124gr. My carry ammo and some of the most accurate out of the G3C is the Fort Scott TUI 125gr subsonic. It performed far better than the HST in 124 that I typically ran in all my other 9mms.
For 286 after tax it was quite the value. I did do one modification to it right out of the box and it is not so much a mod as it is a service. I took the pistol completely apart and high speed polished the entire fire group components and the feed ramp with jeweler's Rouge and a soft wool wheel on a dremel. It makes all the difference in the world on how it performs especially with somewhat flatter faced hollowpoint rounds. I have never had a feed issue and my trigger is buttery smooth.
I am going to upgrade to a steel dual captive guiderod and striker guide like I did with the G2C, and it will get a Keep Tinkering trigger upgrade to alleviate the double strike feature and remove a huge amount of the take up and over travel of the stock trigger in single action. I did all these to the G2C and put XS DXT sights on it and it was an incredible pistol but money got tight and well my buddy had just got his CC permit and needed his first carry pistol. He offered me a price I could not refuse and reused to give me less knowing all the work I had done to it. He had gone to the range and shot the pistol with me several times and fell in love with it, so now the G3C will get the same love.
I do not care what anyone thinks, I had over 10k rounds down range with my G2 without a single failure ever and have close to 1500 down range with my G3C in stock configuration with the same success. I will say this, the G3C has a far better stock trigger than my G2C had and the only reason I am switching it out is to reduce the length of pull and increase the distance from backstrap to where the trigger breaks. The Pseudo-Backstrap by Keep Tinkering is amazing especially for those who have larger hands and long fingers as the trigger reach is extended and the break occurs at virtually where the takeup begins on the stock trigger.
I am looking for an APX or a PX4 Storm for an OWB duty gun for security gigs.
I think that should have been one of your honorable mentions because that PX4 Storm is fairly light recoiling, pleasurable to shoot with good ergonomics, and is insanely reliable. They come in around the high 400 to low 500 range and can be found in several size variations full, compact, subcompact, tactical SF, threaded for suppressor and in multiple colors as well as in 9mm or .40 S&W. JMO it is your list but if any of you reading this have never shot one, you owe it to yourself to give it a run because it surprised the hell out of me at the rental range. I am a big CZ fan when it comes to DA/SA pistols and I would take the PX4 storm over a P07 any day of the week. Go see Outlaws review of this from 2019.
I've never heard of anyone polishing the fire control group before. That sounds like a great idea, but without a Dremel, my plan is to just grease it more. I ordered some G3c parts from Galloway Precision and Lakeline to beef up the plastic parts for longevity and reduce muzzle flip, but I haven't tested out the 18lbs guide rod yet, although I hear it's good. I keep hearing mixed opinions about the triggers, so I'm not sure yet about changing mine. I'm leaving my barrel the same for now, just for appearance and to save money, but I want to eventually try one of Lakeline's barrels if I can get the spending money. I have 147gr JHP but I need to switch over to 124gr because I've seen 147gr fail to open from the lack of velocity due to the barrel length. For sights, I just have the iron sights on a standard stainless steel slide, but I did get a green Viridian for dry fire practice. It's my first and only gun, so I have to make the most of it, but I also love it, so I'm giving it the upgrades it needs to perform better for longer.
My edc is a canik tp9sf and I absolutely swear by it. I love it, its reliable, its controllable and it its beyond accurate right out of the box. And I am buying a SF elite next and its going to be one gun company I always come back to. Highly recommended
OH, AND ME, TOO A BLACK, DECORATED VETERAN OF THIS COUNTRY THAT I LOVE - THEY ONLY SEE "TRUMP SAID BE READY TO SHOOT
I agree 100...way underrated.
When Gun Ginger speaks, I listen 👍.. Great video and solid advice 👍
Hahaha. Noice.
Don't forget people, when you're shooting a lever chambered in 357 or 44, you're getting better velocity than the handgun. I loved it when James Yeager of tactical response said that basically all the name brands are reliable like glocks nowadays. Thanks.
And don't forget, that FMJ round won't stop at the attacker, the hollow point may not either.
David Hudson, love your comment absolutely love it! I too grew up with westerns and you’re right the six shooter never ever answer reports. My dad who is a Detroit cop carried one a little tiny one and he’s never ran out of bullets either because he never shot it! He just carried it in his belt. Love your comment, GaveMe a happy start to the day and a good laugh thank you
Always a good day when an Honest Outlaw comparison video drops!!! Very good breakdown of currently available platforms. Worth a second watch.
I have a G2C. It is my first ever handgun purchase, and I love it. It’s my EDC, and I recommend it to anyone. I’ve had it since February, and never had a malfunction. I usually go to the range once a week and go through about 50+ rounds through it each time.
I brought mine last October and I love it it's my EDC my mom want her one
Nathan Banks Hey, I purchased mine in April. I hadn’t had a handgun in years, sense I was in the military. I had believed, that I was pretty much safe. Until all the riots happened this spring, then I didn’t! That’s when I purchased my Taurus G2c 9mm. I have mine with; 15 round G3 magazines w/ Bloody-Wheels Spacers, various high quality hollow point ammunitions “Federal HST’s and SuperVel SCHP’s”, a Baldr Mini Weapon-Light, a Rack Assist Back Plate from Galloway Precision. Our G2c’s are great weapons!
@@jdwest4604 I got the 15 round mag for my G2c, I use Underwood Xtreme Defender ammo, that ammunition will send your ass off to that new place if you're on the receiving end, plus it can penetrate level II body armor, Level III will stop it, but even with Level III armor on, you take a hit your still getting knocked on your ass.
@@oveidasinclair982 That sounds like some pretty awesome ammunition, I just might have to get some for myself! Thanks! Be Safe!
Sir, you are a right as you can be. I purchased the Taurus G3 last month and have the G3c on back order. The G3 is everything you say it is and more and the price is perfect. Thank you for your review. Jesse Wayne
Thank you as always, Honest Outlaw. After reviewing your videos, I purchased Taurus G3C and Extar EP9 for my home defense, and they are the excellent combination!!!
The .22lr pistol is a gun that EVERY new shooter should get early on. A 10/22 and a .22lr pistol like the Browning Buckmark.
The Taurus G3C was my first pistol I bought and I am enjoying it. Glad to see it gets a lot love on this channel.
Great roundup of available guns. I appreciated that you didn’t have to have all the super pricey brands that not everyone can afford, a quality firearm can be had a a reasonable price point. Good points about available ammunition as well.
I grew up an Iowa farm boy myself. Cheers from WI.
A “Public Service Announcement” is what this video could have been entitled. It is chock full of solid information that is especially useful in this time of multiple concerns by the public at large. Thank you for producing this video!
I’m 72 by the grace of God and a good trauma surgeon. I bought my first .22LR rifle and pistol at age 16. I bought the rifle mail order back when the government still trusted its citizens. I’ve watched four of your videos straight. You sir, are a genius. My son recently talked me into upgrading to an AR-15 and a SW9-M&P. I’ve had them a few years, and I’ve come to like them a lot, but my best combination all purpose guns was a Ruger double action revolver and Winchester lever action rifle, both in .357. I don’t feel any better protected with my fancy new guns than I did with that pair of .357s. I’m glad you point out the value of these older designs especially for people who can’t get an AR or magazine fed semi-automatic.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I forgot to post this, but an incredible sub-$400 option is the Rex Delta. Check it out, its *well* worth the look!
I really hope he reviews it. It's my next purchase for sure! Modular like the 320 but low bore axis and almost as thin as a G48.
They use Cz p10 mags as well so there's that.
@@alexanderm8880 modular ?
@@moranicaceres You can replace the grip module without needing another serial number
Not so hot on the accessory list, but all I wanted was night sights to be honest. Depending on which holster company you choose, the Delta’s almost exactly Glock 19 size, so a Glock 19 holster *can* be used. I have 500 rounds through mine, and with no failures it makes the price tag look even better! It comes with one 15 round, and one 17 round mag.

I just bought an APX Centurion as my first pistol after seeing your reviews. I happened to have already owned the Rossi .357 and Remington 870 20 gauge since I was in high school. They are great guns.
Right On, Honest Outlaw! The very best video I have seen on purchasing, a self defense weapon in a long time! Keep up the great work! Be Safe!

"Lever actions. They are practical, they are easy to shoot." You forgot to mention they are also hella fun to shoot!
every one who shoots my Henry .357 has a Big smile after. 😃

Thanks..Just bought my 1st pistol.. You reinforced my decision after several other reviews..
I bought a Taurus G2C..for carry
Love my g2c thing is on point an one of the best guns I have ever owned
i been having luck every Friday at my local sports store with 9m ammo
tip: find a store close to your house that makes it easy for you to get there 20 min before they open and ask when they get new shipments
@Dan Blizerian link?
I bought a Taurus g2 5 years ago. I love it. Never had a problem with it.
Same
I thinking about it. Good spare.
Had one when they had lifetime warranty. Do this old ones still have lifetime?
My g2c is absolutely the sickest pistol I have bought in years ... got Beretta 92f 32 round mags I customized and fit before met gar made one for it . I run circles around everyone at the range with a subcompact 🤣😂
You have probably the PT111 Millennium G2 Version... the same I have and don't sell or change for any other gun at the same price range. Great gun and never disappointed me.
I ain't even in the US nor able to get most of the guns shown here, but boy do I love the content.
I moved from Canada to the US. I own a couple of these guns and they are fun

After covid-19 go to las vegas for fun right or whatever interests you shoot some full autos at a range that's America
Taurus G3 is a hell of a gun. There, I said it. Never thought I ever say that about a Taurus. Everyone that i let shoot it ended up buying one. I have put thousands of rounds through mine and its been flawless.
Same experience with my G3 and the G3C I got last month. I’ve yet to have a single malfunction from either running different range and defense rounds.
The G3C is my EDC now, went shooting with a friend and shot their Glock 43. Figured it would be a great comparison to the G3C due to being similar size. G3C shoots “easier” for me with less recoil
and didn’t have any issues, double the capacity of the Glock as well. No contest for me
Love my G3c, it keeps me from buying more expensive guns like the Sig 365 or the Hellcat.
I just discovered your videos but for obvious reasons you’ve quickly become my favorite channel. You’re filling an important niche right now. Thank you

I remember when I got my Taurus G3C back in July. Love it so far and haven't had any issues even after 500 rounds.
PS: My dad's GF also just gave me one of her husband's old Mossberg 500. Needs a little cleaning but already looking at an 18" barrel and some other upgrades.
Chris George yeah nowadays I’d be holding onto that ammo not shooting paper 500 at a time lol.
Lever actions in the 1800's could have been viewed as their assault rifles. I find that funny to think about especially in 357 Magnum. Lots of firepower capacity and speed of delivery.
The Indians preferred them while the Cavalry stayed with the single shot trapdoor rifles .
As a left-handed rifle shooter (left eye dominant), I love me some ambidextrous lever actions!
If I had to get rid of all but 3 of my guns, I'd keep my .357 lever action, my .357 revolver, and my 12 gauge pump. Lots of versatility in those 3. Hunt practically anything in the lower 48, self-defense, punch paper, falling steel, spinners, and bust clays.
@@kellyrobinson1780 Totally agree with you. I am a big fan of .357 revolvers and the fact that you have a powerful round that you can use in both a long gun as well as a handgun makes me love the round even more.
@@kellyrobinson1780 I am right handed but I try to practice with my left hand also .
I've had a Rossi 357 for years. Fun and easy to shoot. Also, it shoots less expensive 38 spc rounds as well if you don't want the kick.
I have both the TX22 and a G3 Taurus. I love the TX22, I got it for my wife and teenage daughter who wanted to learn how to shoot and they absolutely love it. I got the G3 for myself and I have 0 complaints about it. I got a Crimson Trace light for it and I couldn't be happier.

My favorite carry good choice
My G2C was 200$ over a year ago though.. great gun for real.
You have become one of the few people on TH-cam that I trust, thank you for the great content!!!!
Of all the guns that I have my lever action 30-30 is my favorite, it feels like a trusted old friend that is always there for you. It might be the influence of watching westerns as a child.
When I think of a kid's first gun, my mind goes right to a Ruger 10/22. IMO, you can't go wrong with this choice.
They tend to learn better shooting discipline with a single shot or a bolt action
@@pnotuner1 I can't argue with your points. It does make sense for many kids. But I believe a motivated kid can develop these skills on any platform. This brings to mind a story told by 22 Plinkster. He told of his father giving him 10 .22 rounds, then telling him he wanted him to bring home 10 squirrels. That example is part of how he developed his precise shooting skills. So for him, the platform didn't matter. He developed his precission no doubt through the example, instruction & expectations from his father.
That works too.
I do teach 22 at youth camp. And we do ration the bullets.
It's a skill building camp.
Covid sure hurt the program.
Nope. Maybe as his second rimfire. Start him/her with a bolt gun iron sights. And a 20 or .410 break barrel shotgun
@@paulmoss7940 agree the range on a stray 22 is pretty far and there is a high chance of ricochet.
Mp 2.0 my first pistol and I’m glad I chose it, 0 malfunctions so far
Love my M&P 2.0 compact
I ended up getting a G3C several months ago, mainly due to your reviews. I almost let the name turn me off, so glad I didn't. I love it, thanks!
Taurus ♉ PT111 and PT140 Millineum G2 later on G2 C was the best gun Taurus has made in decades and has saved that company from going under. If you want a conceal carry gun for daily carry or gun range get it you will love them. I have 4 3 in 9mm and 1 in 40sw I would put them against more expensive brands any day and time. And the 9mm version takes Sig 226 mags like butter on bread for a higher capacity if needed
I'll always love my Mossy 500. Great all around gun. And,for a criminal in a darkened room,the sound of the action is more potent then Exlax!
First time I ever heard that, I was a teenager, parked outside of a drugstore. A friend had gone in for cigarettes or a snack or something, and I was waiting for him.
Just sitting there paying no mind to anything in particular, and from behind me and to my left comes, "ka-CHAK!"
Never heard it live before, but I KNEW what it was. My head snapped around of it's own will, and I saw 3 cops go in at a normal walk, the one holding the shotgun straight up vertical leading the way. My friend came out the other door only a few quick seconds later, not as a consequence, just in natural order, and got in my car. I asked, he knew nothing, and we waited. A few minutes later, the officers came out normally; no excitement, no perp. I never knew what was going on, but I'll always remember my first time hearing a shotgun being racked live for possible business use.
You just gave you location to the bad guy in the dark. That sound don't scare everyone. Have one in the chamber... don't have to worry about racking.
I picked up a new full size Taurus G3. Out of the box I immediately had out of battery problems. I polished the feed ramp with fine emery cloth, removed all the factory sticky gunk, and gave it a super duper cleaning. No feed, or out of battery problems now. And I bought it new for 220 bucks. Great piece for a great price.
After going to 3 Academy locations i was able to find a Taurus G2C & purchased it. What struck me as odd, was the fact that at each location every employee at the Gun/Ammo department tired their best to talk me out of buying a Taurus. They all said the same thing, that Taurus is a low budget gun that those Not compare in reliability to the Glock, S&W, Sig & Beretta.
I did some research online & on TH-cam, and for the most part the reviews have been good. I
Thanks for your time & input on the videos you post, really helped me out in making this purchase.
It's because all those other guns are $600+ where the Taurus G2c is between $300-$350, I love my G2c
You should listen to people, not reviews. Taurus is a trash company that makes budget guns.
@@bonnevillebagger9147 but do you really believe that all (and it's a bunch of them) of these reviewers are wrong about this Taurus gun?
And would you trust an Academy sports & outdoors employee or a few of these reviewers?
I just picked up a 15 round magazine for my Taurus G2c, this magazine makes it feel a whole lot more comfortable to hold and control, plus instead of 12+1, I have now a compact 15+1. You can buy these 15 round mags direct from Taurus for around $36.
Love my G2C. Thanks for the info on the 15 round mag.
Excellent video. I especially like the price consciousness, the 2021 relevance, & the “degree of difficulty” sensitivity when making recommendations.

Another fantastic video that covers lots of what everyone should know, or at least be curious about enough to learn, even two years later. Thanks!
I got the canik about 4 months ago and I love it. Highly recommend!
Agreed! I have the Taurus G3 and the G3c and I love them! They are my primary carry along with my Taurus Tracker 692 .357 Magnum which is my favorite revolver! Since Taurus was bought out in 2015 They are right up there with the big boys at a much lower price. Oh and, GO HAWKS!
Always loved the little 30-30 lever action. Always a fun gun and kills alot of game. Alot of people don't like the caliber but it takes game and super light to carry through heavy woods.
I had a really sweet Winchester .22lr lever, but I traded it back to my dad for a bull barrel, laminate full length stock Ruger 10/22. Blued metal with the gray/silver laminate. My carry gun is a Taurus G2c, still waiting on the TruGlo sights to come in the mail though. My home piece is a Springfield Armory XD 9 Service, kind of surprised you didn't have one of the XD series as at least an honorable mention.
Nice list! 3 Brazilian weapons, I'm impressed! 😂 Taurus is gradually cleaning up his bad reputation 🙌. Here in Brazil she is still hated by the police. By the way, maybe I would add a Bersa Thunder 380. Greetings from Brazil!
joão pelissari I really like my Bersa TPR9C. Sweet trigger in both DA and SA. Awesome accurate pistol that just runs. They usually cost just under the $400 mark but I bet they are now above that. I only have a few things I don't like about it. Expensive and hard to get mags. A safety lock. A polygonal barrel. Hard to take down the firing pin. That is about it. BTW, I have a Taurus G2c and its an accurate good running pistol.
A Brazilian recently told me that Taurus and Rossi have higher quality since CBC took over their production. I just bought a Rossi lever action that has a CBC stamp on the barrel and I'm very happy with it so far! The action is smooth and the trigger is really good.
@@maximilianmustermann5763 Interesting. Same Brazilian company that owns Magtech and Czechoslovakia- based Sellier & Bellot ammo. I think they also make the Mossberg Plinkster and similar rimfire rifles. They also own MEN Metallwerk Elisenhütte GmbH in Nassau, Germany. A pistol ammo company.
@@maximilianmustermann5763 I tell you what. I was looking at that Rossi Tuffy single shot .410/.45LC/.22 rimfire barrel combo and that thing would cover small game and home defense if you practiced with it. Not bad for $220 MSRP. Probably cheaper market cost.

Panic buying of ammo is troubling ... driven by social media IHMO. Who are they going to be fighting.
It's ok, they will probably end up killing themselves
@@DZ-ms3fw home defense if your in democratic states they are restricting police to allow antifa / blm to raid and hurt ppl.
@@DZ-ms3fw that’s what i keep asking
@@jandonbones2535 Ridiculous lie.
Got a g2c as my first carry gun. No g3c available. Love it. Love your channel. A++.
EVERYONE NEEDS A TAURUS TX22
Amazing gun to take to the range and you can argue 16 rounds of 22lr for self defense
@John Licon exactly! Haha
Another thing about 20 gauge: Ladies seem to find it more pleasant to shoot as well. I think this is important for home defense.
i learned from paul harrell that i needed a 20ga loaded with #4 buck for home defense
Shotgun loads vary so much that just racking the slide consistently is often more work than managing the recoil of some birdshot.
The recoil from a 12gauge 2 3/4" of the higher# birdshot is mellow enough for my 70-yr old stepmother to shoot over and over. The lower # birdshot can be a very effective load for home defense, particularly in city dwellings where over-penetration among tight quarters becomes a major concern.
@Disobedient Nomead they have awesome content! 😁🇺🇸😎
My dad got his 870 on his 12 birthday. He’s 65 now, and I used it trap shooting last Thursday. Best damn gun he ever got.
Got a Taurus g2c and a Springfield 1911. I am set! Great video!
Springfield. Lol. Trash
I just picked up a Staccato C2 this morning (Based on your Review). Was the last one on the list to get this year. Caught up for 2020 now waiting shotshow 2021. 😃😃😃
Killer gun, congrats! Super jealous.
Greg M thank you 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Man, I believe you are the best gun reviwer in the internet... You are great! Thanks
Highly recommend the Taurus G series. I have sold hundreds and have never had an issue with any of them. Neither 9mm nor 40. My personal DC is a G2c 40.
My G3 has been a real gem of a pistol, and for the price point, you can't beat it.
I love my Taurus PT111. The G series of guns are of great value at an awesome price point. You can often find a G series Taurus being sold in my town around $218 or so. The price for what you get is hard to beat.
Watching this in 2022 still gives you a great perspective. Thanks!
I went a handled a Sig P226 legion yesterday. Amazing pistol but that price is a little crazy at $1200. I’m thinking to just wait until prices come back down or when they have sales again. I don’t NEED another pistol but I want one 😂.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but P226 Legions have always been $1200...
Yeah that price is only gonna go up
Even used are still pricey.
I think that price is about average for that gun. You’d be lucky to find one much cheaper I believe
Well I appreciate the replies from everyone. I want to see and get my hands on a P229. Just to be sure I’m buying which works for me best.
You talking about the price you’ve seen for a CZ 75 makes me so glad I got mine for $550
Love my Taurus TX22...put a 1000 rounds of SK standard not a single issue. Amazingly accurate. Got it primarily for my son. Perfect gun for new or young shooters!
I've wanted an Old Henry lever action since I was a kid, my grandfather had one and taught me to shoot on it. They are just so expensive(for me) every time I've seen one available, one day I will have one tho!
Buy a Rossi
Great choices, with what’s left to buy in this country at this point. This is a list everybody needs to write down!!
Not so sure about the Rossi. I was just told in a gun shop in Germany that Rossi has insane lead times of up to 24 months right now. I'm guessing they can't keep up with the demand on the US market.
*EVERYTHING* gun related is just a clusterf@ck right now. Ammo, and firearm availability has thrown blood into the water, and it’s got gun owners everywhere in a feeding frenzy! So yeah I’m not too surprised, but I completely understand what you mean about Rossi.
Excellent video for someone who is considering the purchase of a hand gun. I’m 83 and feel I need home protection. Thank you.
Great job as always man
thanks man!
Is it sad I'm subscribed to both you dorks?
Naw I'm subbed to them both as well. Great minds, and great content.
The Daily Shooter Hey I know that guy! :)
Sup dorks love your vids!
I carry the Taurus G3 and love it. I have a Glock 27 40cal I used to carry but I picked the Taurus up in 9mm and the thing impressed the hell out of me. The accuracy was very surprising, became my full time carry pistol.
I vote for the firearm that you can get ammo for. In my area that means a .22 or Shotgun shells. I have improved my groupings after purchasing a .22 pistol and practicing more often at the range on the cheap. I can shot my other higher caliber pistols much faster and more accurately. Sometimes you need to take a step back to move two forward.
Chris George good for him, hopefully you can convert more people as well. Any rational person in America should see the light by now.
What ammo you can get fluctuates making your advice worthless
Bought a taurus g series no complaints solid gun for me in 9mm. Got it for 200
Dang I paid 340 for mine
@@thomaskoneck3352 you got screwed i paid 230 for mine new in the box when it first came out.

@@PistolB97 I payed closer too 400 probally over after taxes. Prices were dumb high and available super low in my local shops. Sucks. Such a rip off. Lol you dont even wanna know how much i paid for ammo
@@thomaskoneck3352 Shit dude. Welp least you paid under 4 i wasn't so lucky. After taxes and and ammo i was looking at a 600 tab smdh.

@@danno1800 welcome bro
Canik are definitely becoming more popular.Some of the packages they offer are hard to beat
Great job on making it simple! Plus your knowledge of every gun you featured is so believable because you didn't stutter or slow down even once.
Revolvers are my favorite to shoot for so many reasons. I'm hoping some buyers will get introduced to them due to this shortage.
Ruger GP 100 357 Magnum is my daily carry. Wouldn’t have it any other way!!
I want a ruger redhawk with wood grip
@@alfredbanuelos7312 I have one, and it's fantastic.
Appreciate your channel. Hopefully things turn around. But either way you’re channel has great information as always
I got my son and his family the Mossberg 500 in 20 guage for in home defense. To me it is far more practical in urban home settings than the 12 gauge and very devastating at the range you would use inside your home. As an old guy, I am very much a 1911 and lever gun guy as well. Nice review !
Good choice if you don't get rushed, but keep a pistol in your belt.....
Always !
