Iraqveteran8888 what do you consider an early import model for the CZ? If I was to purchase the CZ 75 SP 01 would that be considered early import? Thank you!
Thank you Eric, Would like your opinion as a fellow Georgian, have a CZ75BD with 10 round Mags, slightly used, I can pick up for $399.00. Never have owned a CZ so would appreciate your professional opinion. Thank you
My local gun store has a wide variety. Just got a cz75 clone from SAR for 300 even. It felt amazing in my hands and the sights were awesome. Plus 17rnd mag. Plus everyone has a Glock. I could've afforded one they just bore me
Codeine Cowboy first handgun I’d go with the 9mm glock. I’m no glock fanboy but the 1911 style handguns are a lot trickier to field strip to clean and are not as well rounded for every category that a glock style weapon would be. A .45 wouldn’t be a bad idea if you got it in a style other than 1911. .38 super is a no go for your first. My father has a 1911 chambered in .38 Super and it’s a beast of a pistol, definitely wouldn’t recommend
Love cz! I have a number of friends that were glock or springfield people, never heard of cz until they shot mine and now they own one and it's their favorite to shoot
I own a 75B and have had nothing but issues with it. Trigger reset springs breaking, firing pin roll pin breaking, etc. I really hope I just have a dud but it killed the CZ for me.
@Hans Stein I would, but at this point I have replaced and fixed so much myself that it would likely void warranty. That is fine though, as it was a carry pistol for the longest time but I am looking into a new carry option anyways and will just keep this as a semi-functional collectors piece more than anything. Still love the history and look of the gun, but I won't likely ever conceal carry a CZ again if only based on my personal experiences with their products. Probably will just buy a G19 or a P228 instead.
sfv6 there's is life or death in the tongue. Will eat the fruit of what you speak. I'm in NY and I say that NY will change for the better for gun rights
I just got a SD9. Which the only difference is the slide on yours. I hate the trigger. I’m replacing it. You find it to be ok? I’m used to a Glock 17. Just curious on your opinion
@@finestnedmark the SD9 is a gun for see defense hence the “SD”. That’s why the trigger pull sucks so bad. Your not accidentally going to shoot it, when you pull the trigger.. you mean to. It’s a nice looking gun and they’re pretty cheap but the trigger pull is the most of any gun that I’m aware of. May be great for some, not for myself.
Hunter Jordan Yes, I have had the P226 in 9mm for over two years and have easily put 3000 rounds through it. It has only failed once, and that was a dud round. It was struck solidly but did not fire. Sig is known the world over as a high quality firearm and for it not to have been included in this group had to have been an oversight or they just smoked some really good shit that day.
Love the SD9VE and the SW40GVE! Did some custom work to my GVE and it's nice. The SD9 shoots like a dream used with no work. I used to own a third SW40VE but sold it back for a profit. They are almost as good as Glocks, and just as reliable. I got all of mine used for under $175 (the SW40VE I got for 125.)
I bought my first handgun last week. It was the S&W SD9 VE. I got it with two 16 round mags for $350 after taxes. It feels nice in my hands and I can’t wait to shoot it
Having owned the Glock 17 and 19 for many years now, I have to say I much prefer my 19, and I have huge hands. For some reason, it simply "falls in place" better than my 17, points and feels more natural than my 17. That being said, I still love the 17 and think it is one of the best 9mm pistols ever made.
I have really enjoyed most of your videos, but this one is just off. I completely agree with the M&P Shield and the Glock 17, but the Sigma? I understand the gun has been updated, but I purchased one and was still very disappointed in the SD9VE. The Canik is a great budget gun, but come on.. in the top 5? That is ridiculous. The ruger p95 is just crap. Sure, it shoots somewhat reliably, but it is so heavy, so blocky, and such horrendously terrible ergonomics that this gun should remain in the 80's. No way is it in the top 5. I understand that this is all subjective, but to recommend a P95 over a full size M&P, Walther PPQ, Springfield XD, or many others is just plain wrong.
+krombopulous michael no such thing as god, keep you tube secular!!!!! fuck all religions, especially christianity. wake up, & ditch the fairy tales. if not, don't spread your shit here.
krombopulous michael yes it was, & for every idiot that mentions god or jesus on you tube. i like barry as well, sucks that he died, but the biggest cancer on earth is religion & the brainwashed sheep that buy into all that crap. the worst of the bunch is those psycho creationists from the u.s. who believe the earth is only 6,000 years old. you could've easily just written, "R.I.P. Barry", but no, you had to spread that christian pollution.
jdbankshot first off, I'm a jew. second off the statement "may he rest with the father now" is not specific to one religion, It could be taken well to muslims, Christians, jews, Mormons, you name it. and if you were really a good atheist, you would not mind whatever someone believes, because what they believe makes them happy, just like I'm sure you believe gay people have a right to be married, there is no room for hypocrites, be accepting to all.
+krombopulous michael are you a convert, because your name sure sounds like greek orthodox....but, it doesn't matter, all religion is evil garbage. i'm no hypocrite, & i refuse to accept insanity as normalcy. any human that believes in any higher power is a psycho, but if they believe in silence, it doesn't bother anyone. what bothers me is people announcing their belief in god in a public way. there is no "the father", but if you want to buy into those bullshit fairy tales, keep it your fucking self, especially on you tube. also, if you're really a good jew, you'd take every opportunity to denounce zionism, netanyahu, & the illegal state of israel & it's barbaric military.
John Dominy that's so true... I told my self after buying the M92 pap I was not buying any other guns ever... a glock 29 and xd mod 2 later I'm still saying I'm not buying anything else lol..
I remember always waiting and looking forward to each video from you guys. Just started watching and it took me a while to remember that Barry is no longer with us. Felt just like old times. . . Sure do miss you friend.
SRs are indeed good pistols, and they are better and more advanced in terms of hardware than the P95 ever has been, but...hey, people still buy 1911s for $1000+, they should be able to buy a regular DA/SA hammer-fired pistol for $300. Though the new 9E looks to be good.
I’ve had the SD9VE for years, shot close to 1000 rounds with one jam the whole time. Had to switch to the apex trigger, and put some night sights on there, but it’s such a good gun
Every gun you named on there besides the shield is about 200 buckss more than a shield,glock, or a standard XD. Ya those guns you named are great but for an average shooter those are out of the price range my friend. And its not a sigma, its the sd9 ve, it's a pretty damn good gun too if you can get yourself used to the trigger
what, no love for the Springfield XD/XDMs, or the Sig P226? C'mon guys, how can those be excluded while guns like the P95 or SD9 get in? Especially the Sig P226! That is a major oversight to me, I'd gladly take a Sig over a Ruger, they're much better made IMO. Still like the video but feel some very important ones were omitted!
H&K P7 psp; spend half your life watching TH-cam , carry and shoot a P7 for one day, a natural extension of your pointer finger. Use your college fund to get one if you have to,;it’ll give you better returns.
My list would be: Beretta M9/92 FS, HK USP, SIG P226, CZ 75, Glock 19. 1st runner up: Browning Hi-Power. But I realize the price point on these is higher than the ones in this video.
I have a Glock 17 & 19 as well as a Beretta 92FS . By far the Beretta 92FS is superior . As far as accuracy , reliability and durability its absolutely superior. I like the Glocks but in my opinion they are overrated and over priced .
have to agree the cz is one smooth gun. i dont know much about guns in fact i just went shooting for the first time today. but after shooting a 9mm shield, a glock 43 and 19, a Walter pps back to back, then at the end a cz p07. the cz was just so effortless I wasn't expecting it. it's almost like the cadillac.
I think the guys in the vid were concerning costs though watching it again. The SIG is pricey, but a flawless piece of work, and its got a little style. The Glock is hands down perfect and a decent cost, but totally utilitarian. A SIG P226 though would always be my first choice.
I like the P229 a little better but I completely agree. the 226 and the G19 for sure. But the Sig offerings are more than anything on the table there. Maybe the Sig will make it into their Military handgun review. Along with the 92FS/M9 which i'm surprised also wasn't mentioned. That may be why
+Bryson Wilkinson Been carrying the Springfield XDS .45 every day for a year and a half. I shoot it weekly and it's reliable as hell. Maybe yours was junk. Or perhaps operator error.
Thanks guys! You helped me make my mind up. I have been looking and was seeking different opinions on hadguns. I was thinking the sd9ve was probably right for me and you confirmed it. It's not over priced yet seems to be a quality handgun for a first time buyer.
S&W, hate the trigger pull... feels like pushing against gritty spring on take up and the release is way too hard and crisp, you know exactly when it's gonna break. Can't stand Glocks... Ergonomics suck IMO... I have a Ruger SR9c and a Springfield XD-9... excellent performance.
S&W shield is nice has a predictable break. They started putting better triggers in the new m&ps that have a clean break and noticable reset. I am trading the last glock i own tomorrow for a smith and wesson m&p 9c with hd night sights and apex trigger kit. The m&ps are cheaper than glocks and theyre made with better quality parts, you can tell when you take them apart they are more robustly built than glock but yet simple in the same sense. Down here in south Florida m&ps are about 30$ less than gen 3 glocks much less gen 4. The shield is about $100 dollars less than a gen 3 glock. It's a no brainer to me. I just really wish smith would make factory 33 rd mags and then i would have no place at all left in my heart for glock.
***** Ya know, I really want a good "pocket" pistol and just can't bring myself to buy one. I looked at the LCP and the Bodyguard, liked the LCP trigger better but can't justify putting out that much money for these. If I could pick one up for under $200 used, maybe then I'd get one but I am still just put off by the incredible trigger pull. My Glock trigger pull feels almost "good" in comparison, and I really don't like my Glock trigger all that much.
Barry, You are sorely missed. You told us your honest opinion about guns. Very rare these days! Most people are being used by the gun companies as a spokesman. I don't know what happened to you. But no one can take your place. RIP Barry. May our Flag wave always above our country. They will never take our guns from us. Amen. Shawn
This is beyond ironic, I turn 21 in 3 days and am looking to purchase my first handgun. I've been looking at the SD9VE and Eric says "if you're watching this 3 years from the date this video was made prices might change" and today is exactly 3 years.
SDVE9 is a great first gun. Bought mine for under $300 brand new! Love it! I agree with the trigger kit. It's a little stiff. Otherwise it's a perfect first gun!
I have a Glock 19 and I'm currently holster shopping, because I'm looking for a change. Do you have any recommendations for great concealment holsters?
+Diode73 I have a few Alien Gear Holsters. All very Nice. But i found a Holster company that IMO, makes the nicest Holsters ive ever seen, and thats Stitchdex.com
My dad bought a p95 in 1998, never ever fired it a single time, fast forward to last week (May 2020), we took it to the range for the first time and it ate 100 rounds with no issues. We never even oiled it
My dad owned several firearms. He let me use his P95 to go target shooting with him. This was back in 1997 . It was a nice handgun. He passed away in 1999 but I don't know what happened to it
Right? The Glocks used to be great for their price but now that that has skyrocketed for some reason, it has no real value to a decent marksman, much less a professional.
Tserain its branding to a certain extent and marketing to people who may only buy a single handgun. On top of this glocks are the most popular handgun for police so I would say that people ask a police officer what do you use and they simply just ask for a glock when they go to the store.
Yeah, that makes sense. It made me laugh though when I saw a glock 21 for sale in a store next to a brand new Beretta M9 for 50 dollars more. Larger caliber, sure but nowhere near as accurate.
Claude Herbert That is an interesting opinion. With it's match grade barrel, great ergonomics and its outstanding packaging, you don't hear that often. I am surprised that you have this opinion, as it does not seem to be shared by any major review sites.
John Morrison Yes...all those attributes make it a fine pistol. But it's just "average," along with the M&P, the Rugers; etc. There's nothing about them that qualifies them for "Top 5" status. Be careful not to confuse "quality" with "popularity."
I was wondering if you could find any reviews defending your statement. Every one found appears to put it on par, and some even better, than the Glock.
I miss you Barry. I can't ever watch a IV8888 video without seeing your ghost in it. Your genuine commentary and personality were on a whole other level.
For a beginner, I believe the P250 is the best option for a myriad of reasons. Once that trigger is mastered, then its appropriate to move on to a striker gun.
actually, a novice will do better with a striker fired gun, at least with fast follow up shots. they do well with 1911`s as well but, there`s the safety issue with a 1911 that needs to be understood before you turn em loose with that gun
beretta is porblably the best but i assume they didnt have the right to post any information or comment about the berettas otherwise it would of been the number one.
Is... is this a trollgathering? Berettas aren't that great, tbh. (assuming you're talking about the M9\M92 Awkward in size, shitty safety/decocker and had issues with reliability. It was chosen over the better option of the P229\228 (M11) because of the price.
The reason glock/ m&p/ xd/ etc will NEVER be chosen by the military is the polymer frame. when your glock magwell flexes out of shape in 100 degree Fahrenheit weather, what would that mean it will do in 120+ degree heat in the desert (you know, where our troops are now) my top 5 9mm list: Sig Sauer P226 (one is on my hip at this very moment) Sig Sauer 228/229/M11-A1 Beretta M9/92FS Browning Hi-power Smith & Wesson 5906 NOTICE: NO POLYMER I'm not saying that poly guns are bad guns, just saying metal guns are better. anyone who wants to argue can refer to the still functional M1911 handguns that where in the shit in WWI and WWII, and also refer to the glock a friend of mine broke the slide rails out of the frame by falling on his hip while carrying IWB.
+Amthony Scott If the country of origin of a weapon where a consideration (i.e. must be American made) the Beretta 92FS would never have been adopted by the military and designated the M9. Beretta manufacturing occurs in italy. reference: www.beretta.com/en-us/world-of-beretta/since-1526/
Nevermind the fact that a good number of polymer frame handguns have proven themselves over the years, maybe you should check your ego you sound like one of those gun snobs that believes guns should only be made of wood and steel

Psh how about 7. Not on my worst day pal.

Kamikaze Krunch the way I look at it, whether spend my $ on firearms then crack! Or maybe firearms is my crack?
John Dominy that's so true... I told my self after buying the M92 pap I was not buying any other guns ever... a glock 29 and xd mod 2 later I'm still saying I'm not buying anything else lol..
Kamikaze Krunch there is no such thing as too many handguns!
Beretta should definitely be on this list
+Joseph Duenas I'm surprised a 92 wasn't mentioned. Great gun.
lots of people like them and lots of people don't I personally don't like it at all
+Joseph Duenas The same standard issued Berettas some servicemen opt out when overseas? Thank you, but no thank you.
i was expecting it the whole time?
Maybe cost disqualified it? I don't know how they stack up against the ones they discussed, money wise.
Smith and Wesson shields r pretty good guns
I remember always waiting and looking forward to each video from you guys. Just started watching and it took me a while to remember that Barry is no longer with us. Felt just like old times. . . Sure do miss you friend.
I miss Barry. He's the reason I started watching this channel but I like Eric and Chad too.
I miss Barry . Its not the same with two guys in the same age range.
What happened to Mr. Barry. I been out at sea.
@@TheTV4me2 im gonna assume he passed away
TheTV4me2 Heart attack. I think ep 85 is the one breaking the news
where is the Walther PPQ?????
Kaibil Balam true
RIP OLD MAN WITH BEARD
+Jose Lopez He wasn't old. Grey beard will do that to people.
+Jose Lopez is he dead? :O
+Ezio210 yep passed away I think it was a heart attack
762x39warrior Thats sad, rest in peace.
+Ezio210 he passed away on 4/12/2014
Nothing like a guy with a long grey beard for authority.
I really wish Ruger hadn't discontinued the P95 :/
Even against the more modern SR series, the P95 was the perfect budget semi-auto pistol.
I hear ya but those sr's are great. I'm going to be getting a sr9 soon after research and so on.
SRs are indeed good pistols, and they are better and more advanced in terms of hardware than the P95 ever has been, but...hey, people still buy 1911s for $1000+, they should be able to buy a regular DA/SA hammer-fired pistol for $300. Though the new 9E looks to be good.
oh i agree
There's plenty for sale on Gunbroker. Go getcha one,
I like that site
happy to see the cz(variant). I love my cz 75 probably the best 9mm I own.
Nice guns guys but you forgot one the best, Beretta 92 fs or the m1.,... just my input or the fnp or fns, fnx.
Great vid.
Target. on
I would also have liked to see the 92 fs or even the px4 on that table.
That will I am sure show up in the military pistol show.
Tapperlite1 The 92FS sure, but that fuckin Px4? lol, I can't believe the popularity of that fucking thing.
I’ve had the SD9VE for years, shot close to 1000 rounds with one jam the whole time. Had to switch to the apex trigger, and put some night sights on there, but it’s such a good gun
FNP, P226, PPQ/P99, XDm, SP-01, USP, M&P etc. and you pick a "Sigma" =)???
I like your rig better than the video, agreed with you
Every gun you named on there besides the shield is about 200 buckss more than a shield,glock, or a standard XD. Ya those guns you named are great but for an average shooter those are out of the price range my friend. And its not a sigma, its the sd9 ve, it's a pretty damn good gun too if you can get yourself used to the trigger
booger bubba still you have the sr9, m&p 9, fnh, xdm and are all 50-100$ cheaper and are truelly ambi unlike the glock. or any of those guns it seems.
booger bubba Or if you don't like the trigger, get the spring kit for it and fut it in yourself.
The Beretta M9 should have at least been number 5.
what, no love for the Springfield XD/XDMs, or the Sig P226? C'mon guys, how can those be excluded while guns like the P95 or SD9 get in? Especially the Sig P226! That is a major oversight to me, I'd gladly take a Sig over a Ruger, they're much better made IMO. Still like the video but feel some very important ones were omitted!
Saw Barry as I was scrolling and decided I had to watch this again! National treasure
I am big on the H&K offerings, perhaps a video on top 5 9mms over $750?
H&K P7 psp; spend half your life watching TH-cam , carry and shoot a P7 for one day, a natural extension of your pointer finger. Use your college fund to get one if you have to,;it’ll give you better returns.
Well, it is 2016, so I guess we hit the three year mark right now~
Joshua Nelsen a
My list would be: Beretta M9/92 FS, HK USP, SIG P226, CZ 75, Glock 19. 1st runner up: Browning Hi-Power. But I realize the price point on these is higher than the ones in this video.
That's a great list. I'd personally add the P08 luger, but that's just because they're like absolutely nothing else.
Thank you.
P226 VERY NICE
I have a Glock 17 & 19 as well as a Beretta 92FS . By far the Beretta 92FS is superior . As far as accuracy , reliability and durability its absolutely superior. I like the Glocks but in my opinion they are overrated and over priced .
have to agree the cz is one smooth gun. i dont know much about guns in fact i just went shooting for the first time today. but after shooting a 9mm shield, a glock 43 and 19, a Walter pps back to back, then at the end a cz p07. the cz was just so effortless I wasn't expecting it. it's almost like the cadillac.
lol anti gun ad on a gun video, didn't expect that
adblockplus.org It will change your life.
Jud I wish I saw that
I like my Beretta M9 :3 Never gonna leave my side
Good list. I have the shield, the SD9VE, and the Ruger p95
Do you like that SD9VE? Is it worth it?
SIG Saur P226. That or the Glock 19, finest full-size 9mms ever made.
+1 for the P226.
You have my vote on the SIG as well good sir
I think the guys in the vid were concerning costs though watching it again. The SIG is pricey, but a flawless piece of work, and its got a little style. The Glock is hands down perfect and a decent cost, but totally utilitarian. A SIG P226 though would always be my first choice.
I like the P229 a little better but I completely agree. the 226 and the G19 for sure. But the Sig offerings are more than anything on the table there. Maybe the Sig will make it into their Military handgun review. Along with the 92FS/M9 which i'm surprised also wasn't mentioned. That may be why
I agree about the Sig, although I have the 228, not a 229
I'm surprised the Springfield XDM 9MM wasn't up there. Damn good gun and for a decent price too.
xdm and xd line in general is junk that's why
+Bryson Wilkinson
Been carrying the Springfield XDS .45 every day for a year and a half. I shoot it weekly and it's reliable as hell.
Maybe yours was junk. Or perhaps operator error.
itscork Love that little gun, very compact but with a nice forceful caliber!
Just got the xds 9mm bitone 3 days ago. Beautiful design. Easy to cc.
Bryson Wilkinson Haha okay
"DUDE KEL-TEC IS THE BEST''- NO ONE EVER
Zimmerman disagrees with you
H&K....just they are so expensive...must be for a reason though hahha
Thanks guys! You helped me make my mind up. I have been looking and was seeking different opinions on hadguns. I was thinking the sd9ve was probably right for me and you confirmed it.
It's not over priced yet seems to be a quality handgun for a first time buyer.
S&W, hate the trigger pull... feels like pushing against gritty spring on take up and the release is way too hard and crisp, you know exactly when it's gonna break. Can't stand Glocks... Ergonomics suck IMO... I have a Ruger SR9c and a Springfield XD-9... excellent performance.
I hate Glocks
S&W shield is nice has a predictable break. They started putting better triggers in the new m&ps that have a clean break and noticable reset. I am trading the last glock i own tomorrow for a smith and wesson m&p 9c with hd night sights and apex trigger kit. The m&ps are cheaper than glocks and theyre made with better quality parts, you can tell when you take them apart they are more robustly built than glock but yet simple in the same sense. Down here in south Florida m&ps are about 30$ less than gen 3 glocks much less gen 4. The shield is about $100 dollars less than a gen 3 glock. It's a no brainer to me. I just really wish smith would make factory 33 rd mags and then i would have no place at all left in my heart for glock.
jonathan retzsch A "Predictable" break is not ideal. Causes jerking the trigger. A surprise break is better.
Bert GUNBROS I don't hate Glocks, I own them... I like my XD and Ruger better though.
***** Ya know, I really want a good "pocket" pistol and just can't bring myself to buy one. I looked at the LCP and the Bodyguard, liked the LCP trigger better but can't justify putting out that much money for these. If I could pick one up for under $200 used, maybe then I'd get one but I am still just put off by the incredible trigger pull. My Glock trigger pull feels almost "good" in comparison, and I really don't like my Glock trigger all that much.
What about the Springfield xd9?
I feel like this was more of a "5 budget minded 9mm handguns Everyone should own..."
+johnnylancenese Its maybe because 2500$ gun doesn't work any better than 500$ glock ... (I'm not Glock fan )
+MrVolodus Well, when you show "the poor man's glock" well... that is budget right there.
+Kyle Friedman The police normally choose Glock or the S&W M&P. I would pick one of those
+Robert Paulson I have both, and you cannot go wrong with either.
Totally agree, johnny
Barry, You are sorely missed. You told us your honest opinion about guns. Very rare these days! Most people are being used by the gun companies as a spokesman. I don't know what happened to you. But no one can take your place. RIP Barry. May our Flag wave always above our country. They will never take our guns from us. Amen. Shawn
Im 99% sure he died of a heart attack, just getting older it happens. RIP to a legend.
No Berettas?
Damn I miss Barry...
This is beyond ironic, I turn 21 in 3 days and am looking to purchase my first handgun. I've been looking at the SD9VE and Eric says "if you're watching this 3 years from the date this video was made prices might change" and today is exactly 3 years.
Devonn Peters I'm watching it as well and I'm in market for CZ75
i bought one on blk friday!
I looked at the date when he said that too lol
Devonn Peters crazy ain't it RIP Barry
SDVE9 is a great first gun. Bought mine for under $300 brand new! Love it! I agree with the trigger kit. It's a little stiff. Otherwise it's a perfect first gun!
I sure wish I could get Barry’s reaction to these new high capacity micros like the p365 and hellcat.
Yes, I wish Barry was around. He was a fountain of very good information. Rest in peace my friend.
Not in any specific order.
Glock 17
Hk usp
Sig p226
Cz
Browning hi power
Springfield sub compact xd better all that
detonio jones No Sir. Anything Glock or Sig is better than Springfield
Well I'm very happy with my glock 19 & 17
I have a Glock 19 and I'm currently holster shopping, because I'm looking for a change. Do you have any recommendations for great concealment holsters?
My favorite IWB holster is the Alien Gear. It is very comfortable and places the gun in a good place relative to my personal ...um...shape.
Diode73 can you tell me the price range and where I can find one?
+Diode73 I have a few Alien Gear Holsters. All very Nice. But i found a Holster company that IMO, makes the nicest Holsters ive ever seen, and thats Stitchdex.com
NePdXploit thanks.
My dad bought a p95 in 1998, never ever fired it a single time, fast forward to last week (May 2020), we took it to the range for the first time and it ate 100 rounds with no issues. We never even oiled it
My dad owned several firearms. He let me use his P95 to go target shooting with him. This was back in 1997 . It was a nice handgun. He passed away in 1999 but I don't know what happened to it
Since it’s already 2019, what’s your new top 5 9mm to own?
You only need one. S&W M2 0
43x as of now
M9A3 all day
Cz75
SIG P365 and H&K USP.
I stick with my Beretta 92FS. was my service pistol and i know how to operate maintain and fire the weapon. Meh...
Same here, honestly the main reason I bought the m9, just used to the sights
I got the PT92 AFS beretta clone. I love it and it should definetly be up there and not the pos glocks
Right? The Glocks used to be great for their price but now that that has skyrocketed for some reason, it has no real value to a decent marksman, much less a professional.
Tserain its branding to a certain extent and marketing to people who may only buy a single handgun. On top of this glocks are the most popular handgun for police so I would say that people ask a police officer what do you use and they simply just ask for a glock when they go to the store.
Yeah, that makes sense. It made me laugh though when I saw a glock 21 for sale in a store next to a brand new Beretta M9 for 50 dollars more. Larger caliber, sure but nowhere near as accurate.
Haven’t watched yet! But, My list would include these manufacturers:
1) Sig
2) Glock
3) CZ
4) Beretta
5) Smith & Wesson
👌
Sig lol
@@The-Homecook-0000 glock lol
Out of curiosity, was there a reason you did not include the XD series pistols?
Thats my curiosity to. Especially since they did a video on Nov 19, 2013 and with an older XD and said how great it is.
Probably 'cause the XD is a mediocre pistol, at best.
Claude Herbert That is an interesting opinion. With it's match grade barrel, great ergonomics and its outstanding packaging, you don't hear that often.
I am surprised that you have this opinion, as it does not seem to be shared by any major review sites.
John Morrison Yes...all those attributes make it a fine pistol. But it's just "average," along with the M&P, the Rugers; etc. There's nothing about them that qualifies them for "Top 5" status.
Be careful not to confuse "quality" with "popularity."
I was wondering if you could find any reviews defending your statement. Every one found appears to put it on par, and some even better, than the Glock.
1. Browning Hi Power, 2. Beretta 92FS, 3. CZ75, 4. S&W M&P, 5. Glock 19 in that order
I miss you Barry. I can't ever watch a IV8888 video without seeing your ghost in it. Your genuine commentary and personality were on a whole other level.
I'm a revolver kind of guy. Yes, I enjoy the simple things....
Why spend 400 on a revolver when you can get a used glock for that price?
I spent $900 on my last revolver. Doubt I'll ever buy a Glock, $400 is still overpriced for a new one.
@@Mortismors not everyone is rich like you.
@@coleguitar2233 that, and for me it comes down to, you would need to reload a revolver twice to have the capacity of a 17+1 sd9ve for example.
@@Shawncsc yeah and if you want something small just get a sheild for 300 dollars.

SD9ve is a great reliable gun. One of my favorite firearms.
CZ75 is THE wonder 9 in my opinion.
CZ75A? Lmao
+XPWNZERX huh?
***** what's a CZ75A?
Jake Johannesen Auto variant
especially the newer cz-75 shadow
No Sig Sauer guns??? Best 9mm pistols I've ever owned..
For a beginner, I believe the P250 is the best option for a myriad of reasons. Once that trigger is mastered, then its appropriate to move on to a striker gun.
actually, a novice will do better with a striker fired gun, at least with fast follow up shots. they do well with 1911`s as well but, there`s the safety issue with a 1911 that needs to be understood before you turn em loose with that gun
The Ferret sigs are crappy cheaply made plastic handguns. I might get one for a paper weight.
luke117 reviews when I hear "plastic" I think Glock so what would you prefer over an all metal, perfectly balanced P226?
The Ferret I was joking, I figured someone would rage hard. I would totally rock a sig over a glock
its weird not seeing berry in any new vids we all miss you berry RIP.
Wow, left Sig P226 (my P6), Browning Hi-Power (even surplus), Beretta 92FS, and CZ 75 off the list.
Thought same thing: Sig P6 (or 226) CZ75 (copy Canik55, EAA Witness, IWI Jerico), Beretta 92FS, Hi-Power, S&W 59, Ruger P85
I'd like to start off with saying, we still miss you Barry. Also, how did the 92fs not make the cut as a full size duty pistol?
I see you have accepted Glock as your lord and savior
Jonesboro, GA; 32 miles from Glock USA.
I have the Glock 17. I just love mine. Shoots wonderful. Looking to getting the Glock 19 later.
+Jerry Ragan Sometimes people shoot the 19 even better, don't know why, balance maybe.

beretta is porblably the best but i assume they didnt have the right to post any information or comment about the berettas otherwise it would of been the number one.
Is... is this a trollgathering? Berettas aren't that great, tbh. (assuming you're talking about the M9\M92
Awkward in size, shitty safety/decocker and had issues with reliability. It was chosen over the better option of the P229\228 (M11) because of the price.
I'm very pleased with the size, features, and reliability of my Beretta 92FS.

+John Chetcuti me too. little thing is flippin awesome!
No M9 Beretta, P229 Sig Sauer or XD9?
Berretta is illegal to buy
No it isnt't, where'd you get that info from?
Why. ;_;
i don't know, i was kinda disappointed
people don't like xd because of the back safety which is stupid if you like 1911s
No 92fs ? 😢
The reason glock/ m&p/ xd/ etc will NEVER be chosen by the military is the polymer frame. when your glock magwell flexes out of shape in 100 degree Fahrenheit weather, what would that mean it will do in 120+ degree heat in the desert (you know, where our troops are now)
my top 5 9mm list:
Sig Sauer P226 (one is on my hip at this very moment)
Sig Sauer 228/229/M11-A1
Beretta M9/92FS
Browning Hi-power
Smith & Wesson 5906
NOTICE: NO POLYMER
I'm not saying that poly guns are bad guns, just saying metal guns are better. anyone who wants to argue can refer to the still functional M1911 handguns that where in the shit in WWI and WWII, and also refer to the glock a friend of mine broke the slide rails out of the frame by falling on his hip while carrying IWB.
+BigRed30378 I realize extensive experience in this list.
+BigRed30378 they also wouldn't use glock because they are not American made
+Amthony Scott If the country of origin of a weapon where a consideration (i.e. must be American made) the Beretta 92FS would never have been adopted by the military and designated the M9. Beretta manufacturing occurs in italy. reference: www.beretta.com/en-us/world-of-beretta/since-1526/
Have you seen fpsrussias video? He cooks on in a wood furnace and it still worked
Nevermind the fact that a good number of polymer frame handguns have proven themselves over the years, maybe you should check your ego you sound like one of those gun snobs that believes guns should only be made of wood and steel
