I have one Beretta in my collection.

Depends on your priorities. I make good money but, even when I didn't, I could always afford a gun if I wanted it. Married but she's thrifty too. No kids. I drive my cars until the wheels fall off. Currently have a 2012 Impala with only 70,000 mi on it. I'll probably die with that car. Couple of motorcycles. We mostly cook regular meals instead of going out to eat all the time. I don't drink or do drugs. I work IT from home so I have no desire for more screen time with video games so no money there. Probably about a hundred guns though.
I can't say it enough when it comes to my Canik tti is the ergonomics and how GOD DAM SEXY The trigger pull is especially the reset I'm about to Jizz just thinking about it !!! CANIK BY FAR SEPARATes the men from the boys and Taron is a genius!!!
The fellow who runs our nightly COF's had the Shadow 2 with CGW. He recently swapped it for the Steel Frame Match Full Size and loves it. May want to consider it.
I own a Shadow 1 with a few CGW parts I personally installed. It feels like you’re cheating owning that gun, honestly don’t shoot it often. Once you own a few CZ’s and start swapping out xyz part for CGW parts. You get a feel for what parts actually make a substantial difference and the other parts that are unnecessary. You could take an affordable plain Jane CZ-75 SP-01 tactical and install a few CGW parts and it will shoot just as good if not better than a Shadow 2. Food for thought.
Can confirm, I have a shadow 2 with the cgw race kit. It is very hard to beat. Eats anything and spits it out two at a time in the same hole if you do your job. Factory grips are junk but lok palmswell bogies fix that.
Since I value your reviews I am glad that at least a few of these pistols are in a price range I can afford fairly quickly. Especially the Shadow 2, Walther PDP, SIG P226 and the Beretta models. Thanks for your “Honest” reviews and fun videos
Yessir!! I carry a P01 every day. I’m looking at getting an SP01 too. I might as well just get one of all of them. CZ has really ruined other guns for me.
I just bought a shadow 2 today per your recommendations and finally getting to try one. Apparently some guy got impatient and canceled his custom shop order while it was in shipping and I was lucky enough to be there when it arrived
Enjoy it! I got mine about half a year ago, wanted one for like 2 years but they went out of stock when I was ready to buy. I got insanely lucky and picked up a used one for $850 with multiple grips, mags, and a Holosun that I now use on my P10C EDC. In Massachusetts these guns never go under their $1299 MSRP so I got a crazy good deal. It makes my USP feel like an antique and makes the trigger on my Desert Eagle feel cheap. The only pistol I own that has a better trigger is a Ruger Blackhawk 357, a single action army style revolver. I was planning on buying an SRO for the Shadow, but recently I saw a Parrot Shadow and some custom 1911's with C-more optics and I'm considering doing that instead. It looks amazing but I'm scared of regretting it and ruining my frame because you can't buy a Shadow 2 in MA anymore thanks to a new gun law, and the C-more optic mounts seem to all be drilled into the frame.
@@duty5127that’s the first time i’ve seen someone even reference c-more in years. i can’t believe they’re still selling enough of them to be in business.
@@duty5127 Which C-more? I don't own any but blatantly painting them all the same when they had a new line up this year ain't fair unless you owned the latest ones. No reason to get all that tint at that price either. HS 507 comp, Vortex Def. XL do it better for less.
I enjoyed watching the video, even though I know I'll never own any of these models. I do have four of the lesser version of these. They are still very good and I enjoy them all.
iam so glad you put the m n p on there i have the competitor and its absolutely amazing. m n p is so underrated but they are in my opinion the best pistols out there
I really like my CZ P-10F as well. I shoot it so much better than Glocks. I love that it has 19 rounds I also like my P-10C it’s just slightly larger than a G19 to fit my hand
@waefawawrgaw2835 man, did the Beretta touch your no-no square or something? You've been all over the comments hating on it like you caught it sleeping with your wife.

I am somewhat partial though since I grew up and hunted in the area where you are based, lol! Keep doing what you are doing you are greatly appreciated!
I have about 30 guns, some of them were recommended on this channel. However, I end up shooting the Glock 17 every week... because for me it's the most challenging and I want to master it. When I shoot the CZ TS02 I feel like cheating, too easy. Great video as always.
Ahh Glock 17. My first and favorite gun. I’ve by it about 6k rounds in mine. Only change I made was change in the gen 3 extractor to the more modern squared extractor. My biggest regret is selling off that gun..
@ solid range mags. I tend to favor a flush fit. Yknow i think theres 21 rounds as well. Ive been doing a 226 legion a long time. Theres like 3 pelican deals supporting it. I bought the 40 because thats what i was trained with. But have 357 sig and 9 conversions. Its a lot of mags n such. I usually shoot glock now. But the 226 maybe the one id grab if i had to grab. Dead ass solid piece.
I’m big fan of CZ (maybe because I was born in Czech 🤷♂️🤣) couple months ago finally got shadow 2 and i love it!! And another 2 Czech guns made your list 👍💪
I can only go on carry guns. For that my main is a Sig M11A1 which is basically a militarized 229. That piece is supernaturally easy to shoot well and certainly the finest piece of hardware I've ever owned. I carry A Glock on the job but that's mandated. But concealed I have migrated away from strikers in favor of double/singles. I was carrying a 365 on my motorcycle but I couldn't get over the thought of crashing and blowing my gonads off at the same time. So for a smaller bike gun I got myself a 36 year old Beretta 84.
Great video. Thank you. As a former Marine and current Naval officer I am a bit limited right now as to how many guns I can reasonably own and cart around as we move every 2-3 years (the military won’t move firearms, so service members have to drive them across country or store them when we go overseas).

Love seeing the Archon Type B in the honorable mentions. That platform is way ahead of it's time Idk why it's so slept on but the recoil impulse could easily be the best of this bunch (excluding the Laugo)
Mr Outlaw, my guy...love your content and watch all your new videos. I must say that I am becoming a darker shade of green with envy with each video. Your range, being right next to your home is more than awesome. I say that because you are obviously in farm country and have neighbors. Sure they might not be right next to you, but, they are close enough to hear the report of your firearms and you are still able to use your range and not have issues with them.
I was undecided between the FN and HK Mark 23. A range buddy got the FN, and we went out to shoot it. Within 30 minutes in the Texas sun, the gun stopped dropping mags. After closer inspection, we discovered the grip was getting soft and flimsy. Went with the Mark 23.
I can’t afford most of these guns, I do own a couple of the Shield Plus variants and I just love them. When # 1 came up as the best shooting gun I knew he had it right. All of my guns are the 1911 versions and shoot really well even though none of them cost much. I have a RIA in 10mm and I can shoot 6” targets all day long with long strings of no misses at 100 yards.
My p365 Spectre comp with the Wilson combat module and tungsten weights is insanely fast and feels amazing in the hand with very light recoil. Plus with the magguts spring in the magazine you can get any x frame to 14+1 which is unreal in such a small package.
I have a 226 legion and a shadow 2 and they are both excellent handguns. But i can honestly say that the shadow 2 is faster and more accurate at least when its my hands. It will vary between shooters im sure but i bet 90 percent of them would choose the shadow 2. Awesome vid Chris keep them coming. I was wondering if you were going to make an update video on the p-09 nocturne. Curious if the kinks worked themself out or if you called them and sent it back. Hope to hear about it
Don't sleep on semi-custom filipino 1911/2011's. There some awesome foreign options just as good as these super custom options. Also, the CZ75 is the best shooting platform in the world.
Girsan also makes some solid offerings for both 1911s and M9s, along with some other guns. Any more there are a _lot_ of good budget foreign-made 9mms out there worth taking a look at.
@waefawawrgaw2835 😂😂😂😂 tell me you've never fired a hammer fired weapon while telling me just that. Your striker fired can't touch hammer sweet heart and I own both
@@driftitlikeyouownit That really depends on the gun, bud. SA pistols have better triggers, but a strike-fired gun is much easier to carry concealed. _I_ also own both, and I preferred my M9 for open carry and my XD for CCW. I like hammer-fired guns too, but there's more to owning a pistol than shootablility.
I got the 226 x5 legion based on your video and its the best shooting pistol I have shot. It blows staccato and shadow 2 out of tbe water for me at least. Staccato feels fast but i hate the grip and the cz grip is awesome and the recoil seems less but nothing that blew my mind. The 226 feels like im shooting a 380. My dot never leaves the window. out of all my pistols its the only one i feel like makes me shoot better, its a cheat code 😅
I agree on the 2011 being #1. They are just in a league of their own trigger and fitment wise. I've got an atlas hyperion with an optic cut and it's amazing. I did just get to shoot an mpa ds9 hybrid with dsc v8 porting and an aftermarket trigger and that was also amazing. Really nice piece for the price
Happy the Type B made the honorable mentions at least. I have about 15k rounds through both my Gen 1 and Gen 2 with only 3 malfunction issues due to ammo. Absolutely love that gun.
Into the horizon, not "over" it. Just the facts man, just the facts. Horizon means horizontal, which means no curve. The best guns always "shoot the flattest."
I can't comment on the list. I do not own any of those guns nor fired them. They look very nice for sure. I have put some stupid money into hunting rifles, lever rifles and revolvers (single and double action) over the years. I did do the race gun 1911 builds and competed a lifetime ago, which was expensive, but now only have one left. At my age now, I have a few Glocks, a CZ 75BD, and a few shotguns for hunting, and a couple for home defense, and a few AR rifles. I carry the G19 from when I get out of bed until I come in at evening time here at the ranch. (lots of illegals in south Texas). I put the XS Big Dot sights on all my Glocks. Those are good sights. As I age, I am transitioning into the utilitarian aspects of guns and streamlining the inventory.
XS is All American, and sooo TEXAN! I have been to their facility, they dont mess around, solid as they come, great products, excellent people. God Bless Texas.
This was definitely a fun video. I really enjoyed it, a ton a great pistols on here. I 100% believe this list is on point. My main reason is i know how much time you put into this and work your experience I'm confident in your list.
Ah man, he should have let you make the list. 😂 PS. I have shot a PX4 and a Wilson 92, and I prefer the 92. The tuned up PX4 was nice, but the 92 felt really good even without a dot.
I'd love to see Beretta revisit the Px4. Got mine as a full sized .40, and honestly, it's probably the smoothest in its caliber. Being able to swap calibers, basically on the fly is also phenomenal.
Just days ago I picked up a p226 X-Five Reserve. Gorgeous gun, and I'm putting on a vortex XL comp to shoot USPSA for some kicks. Looked at the Atlas Athena DLC couple days ago and fell in love with that one. What a trigger it has! That one's going to be next! Love these videos, I appreciate your reviews.
I just bought a CZ Shadow 2 so I'm super excited to pick it up and test it out! It been on my bucket list for a while now and was able to find one for a decent price! Looking to add some Loks Grip, the CGW trigger package, and the new Vortex XL. Can't wait to test it out in competition!
Great combo. look into kummer grips as an option. Don't go too crazy on the ultra light spring setup including the extended firing pin. They aren't drop safe to begin with, but with that the risk is significantly higher and reliability ain't there anymore. Correct dryfire & classes give the big boosts.
@ honestly, I’ll probably only get the reach reduction kit. I want to save as much money and keeping the S2 as stock as possible. Although 13 lb recoil spring might be an option since I heard it’s reliable.
After buying and shooting tons of sub $1000 guns since I was legally able to do so, I was finally able to budget and save for a few months and finally got my staccato P with the DLC threaded barrel. I will say, it is my favorite gun I have ever shot. I mean it runs everything even suppressed. Was never a staccato fan boy and still will never be, but to me a spade is a spade, it is the best shooting gun and feels the best to me.
I agree 100% that the Atlas Erebus is the best shooting pistol ever! Craftsmanship, attention to detail, it is absolute perfection, mo fo’s! At an MSRP of $7500, it’s a steal, in my opinion.
The CZ AccuShadow 2 is a CZ Custom Shop version of the Shadow 2, with a fitted, 1911-style barrel bushing, and an even better trigger than the stock Shadow 2.
One note on the 92x performance. It’s not SAO, it’s a da/sa, there’s just not a docker like on normal 92 variants. They do have some sa only models that are newer than the 92x performance though
X macro gang here!!! 🔥🔥. So glad the AXG legions made the lists. Those are my next purchases for pistol! I love my macro….but I remember just renting the 365 AXG legion out at the range, my jaw dropped after the first shot. So smooth. Def worth the price!

I say that because you are obviously in farm country and have neighbors. Sure they might not be right next to you, but, they are close enough to hear the report of your firearms and you are still able to use your range and not have issues with them.
FNX 45 Tactical is my number one
I was undecided between the FN and HK Mark 23. A range buddy got the FN, and we went out to shoot it. Within 30 minutes in the Texas sun, the gun stopped dropping mags. After closer inspection, we discovered the grip was getting soft and flimsy. Went with the Mark 23.
I can’t afford most of these guns, I do own a couple of the Shield Plus variants and I just love them. When # 1 came up as the best shooting gun I knew he had it right. All of my guns are the 1911 versions and shoot really well even though none of them cost much. I have a RIA in 10mm and I can shoot 6” targets all day long with long strings of no misses at 100 yards.
The p365 axg legion is the best considering its size and barrel length. Plus it's a carry gun
Love your videos man!!!
My p365 Spectre comp with the Wilson combat module and tungsten weights is insanely fast and feels amazing in the hand with very light recoil. Plus with the magguts spring in the magazine you can get any x frame to 14+1 which is unreal in such a small package.
I have a 226 legion and a shadow 2 and they are both excellent handguns. But i can honestly say that the shadow 2 is faster and more accurate at least when its my hands. It will vary between shooters im sure but i bet 90 percent of them would choose the shadow 2. Awesome vid Chris keep them coming. I was wondering if you were going to make an update video on the p-09 nocturne. Curious if the kinks worked themself out or if you called them and sent it back. Hope to hear about it
I jave the same guns and it's the same for me - I shoot my Shadow 2 SAO just a tad better than the p226 Legion SAO.
Always got surprises when I thought I knew what's out there lol why I love your channel keep good work 👊
Do a best shooting carry gun/pistol list
Don't sleep on semi-custom filipino 1911/2011's. There some awesome foreign options just as good as these super custom options. Also, the CZ75 is the best shooting platform in the world.
Girsan also makes some solid offerings for both 1911s and M9s, along with some other guns. Any more there are a _lot_ of good budget foreign-made 9mms out there worth taking a look at.
hammer fire isnt the best. Its not the 1950's anymore. Striker fired is the new thing
@waefawawrgaw2835 😂😂😂😂 tell me you've never fired a hammer fired weapon while telling me just that. Your striker fired can't touch hammer sweet heart and I own both
@@driftitlikeyouownit That really depends on the gun, bud. SA pistols have better triggers, but a strike-fired gun is much easier to carry concealed. _I_ also own both, and I preferred my M9 for open carry and my XD for CCW. I like hammer-fired guns too, but there's more to owning a pistol than shootablility.
i hope chris gets to try the Metrillo 👌
My VP9 has never had a malfunction and has never let me down. Definitely not the best striker fired pistol, but it's up there with the best.
Canik Rival also
Love the video man. I'm glad my Beretta made the list.
Shadow 2 are amazing
The best
Love shooting my Shadow 2 SAO!
@@bokiNYC shit is amazing, its shoots better than my staccato P
Honorable budget mention- Beretta APX A1.
Hell of a runner, with a hell of a fair price. Walking circles around kitted glocks.
I got the 226 x5 legion based on your video and its the best shooting pistol I have shot. It blows staccato and shadow 2 out of tbe water for me at least. Staccato feels fast but i hate the grip and the cz grip is awesome and the recoil seems less but nothing that blew my mind. The 226 feels like im shooting a 380. My dot never leaves the window. out of all my pistols its the only one i feel like makes me shoot better, its a cheat code 😅
Great list. I really like the Canik. I’ve always hated striker fired guns until the Canik came along. Erebus….can’t wait! Should get mine this month!
Hands down for overall Best Pistol , Sig, X-Five Legion !
Yeah, no. Good but definitely not best.
Thank you for adding the Mark 23 on there! The video was great as always!👍🏻✌🏻
No VP9 is a crime 😢
I agree on the 2011 being #1. They are just in a league of their own trigger and fitment wise. I've got an atlas hyperion with an optic cut and it's amazing. I did just get to shoot an mpa ds9 hybrid with dsc v8 porting and an aftermarket trigger and that was also amazing. Really nice piece for the price
Please do a review of the CZ SP-01 Manual Safety Model please!!
That was my first gun. 10K rounds later it's still one of my favorites. But I do use a shadow 2 for USPSA instead.
Happy the Type B made the honorable mentions at least. I have about 15k rounds through both my Gen 1 and Gen 2 with only 3 malfunction issues due to ammo. Absolutely love that gun.
Update us on the Springfield echelon comp.. 100 round review
My still fav is the Dan Wesson DWX, but GREAT LIST DUDE! CZ forever.
love seeing a mix of full-size and compact options for versatility.
PDP Steelframe. Worth a try. CZ TS2 racing green. Phoenix Redback. Three to mention here.
Dude, I’ve seen you hit targets over the horizon with a J-Frame (almost). So although the guns are good, it’s the shooter that makes hits.
Into the horizon, not "over" it. Just the facts man, just the facts. Horizon means horizontal, which means no curve. The best guns always "shoot the flattest."
@ Planet I live on is round.
@@dentontxflatearthguy2903allow me to introduce to you to a literary tool called ~hyperbole~
As always Thanks for the great video Chris loved watching it ...... We love and appreciate you Guys
I can't comment on the list. I do not own any of those guns nor fired them. They look very nice for sure. I have put some stupid money into hunting rifles, lever rifles and revolvers (single and double action) over the years. I did do the race gun 1911 builds and competed a lifetime ago, which was expensive, but now only have one left. At my age now, I have a few Glocks, a CZ 75BD, and a few shotguns for hunting, and a couple for home defense, and a few AR rifles. I carry the G19 from when I get out of bed until I come in at evening time here at the ranch. (lots of illegals in south Texas). I put the XS Big Dot sights on all my Glocks. Those are good sights. As I age, I am transitioning into the utilitarian aspects of guns and streamlining the inventory.
XS is All American, and sooo TEXAN! I have been to their facility, they dont mess around, solid as they come, great products, excellent people. God Bless Texas.
@@dentontxflatearthguy2903 Thats good.
God bless America ❤
Chris you never miss with any gun!
Shadow 2 at number 2. Custom 2011 at number one. Would that put my tuned up DWX at 1 1/2? 😄
I agree what about the DWX?
This was definitely a fun video. I really enjoyed it, a ton a great pistols on here. I 100% believe this list is on point. My main reason is i know how much time you put into this and work your experience I'm confident in your list.
Never been this early for a video, but I love your content ❤ keep up the good work!
Just bought the axg legion for my carry gun. Even with big hands the gun feels amazing
Forgot the Beretta PX4 Storm
😢PX4… no love 💔
@@GeoffreySage Rodney Dangerfield of guns, no respect
Ah man, he should have let you make the list. 😂
PS. I have shot a PX4 and a Wilson 92, and I prefer the 92. The tuned up PX4 was nice, but the 92 felt really good even without a dot.
I'd love to see Beretta revisit the Px4. Got mine as a full sized .40, and honestly, it's probably the smoothest in its caliber. Being able to swap calibers, basically on the fly is also phenomenal.
Have had and loved my px4 for years.
Because List!!! I Am Undoubtedly a CZ Fanboy!!!
How about a 5 best budget shot guns, 5 premium shot guns, and a best 5 budget and 5 best Gucci competition guns.
Just days ago I picked up a p226 X-Five Reserve.
Gorgeous gun, and I'm putting on a vortex XL comp to shoot USPSA for some kicks.
Looked at the Atlas Athena DLC couple days ago and fell in love with that one. What a trigger it has!
That one's going to be next!
Love these videos, I appreciate your reviews.
No dwx again?
I like to think the DWX sits next to the Shadow 2, such a good gun
Spot on!!!!! Find a CZ97 and do a review! They are hard to find since discontinued but fantastic
I just bought a CZ Shadow 2 so I'm super excited to pick it up and test it out! It been on my bucket list for a while now and was able to find one for a decent price! Looking to add some Loks Grip, the CGW trigger package, and the new Vortex XL. Can't wait to test it out in competition!
Best gun for the money, period. I have 3!
Great combo. look into kummer grips as an option. Don't go too crazy on the ultra light spring setup including the extended firing pin. They aren't drop safe to begin with, but with that the risk is significantly higher and reliability ain't there anymore. Correct dryfire & classes give the big boosts.
@ honestly, I’ll probably only get the reach reduction kit. I want to save as much money and keeping the S2 as stock as possible. Although 13 lb recoil spring might be an option since I heard it’s reliable.
Fam you’re a hero love this content !!!!!!!🔥
I have PSD FK 7.5 - phenomenal gun with anomaly recoil. Love it.
Just bought a Canik Rival S. I'm pumped.
Clicked so fast 🎉🎉🎉
All great firearms. I like my Wilson Combat Edc X9 the best.
Such a vibe, love the energy here!

SILENCE, ASSBOT!!!
After buying and shooting tons of sub $1000 guns since I was legally able to do so, I was finally able to budget and save for a few months and finally got my staccato P with the DLC threaded barrel. I will say, it is my favorite gun I have ever shot. I mean it runs everything even suppressed. Was never a staccato fan boy and still will never be, but to me a spade is a spade, it is the best shooting gun and feels the best to me.
Love watching your content
Putting your custom carry gun in this list seems strange change
Great video. I pretty much agree with all of your picks.
The tip barrel Taurus. 22 didn't make the list??? 🥺🥺🥺
I agree 100% that the Atlas Erebus is the best shooting pistol ever! Craftsmanship, attention to detail, it is absolute perfection, mo fo’s! At an MSRP of $7500, it’s a steal, in my opinion.
No staccato?
Idk, is the staccato XC not good enough or what? I really don’t know.
M9A4 squeezed in.!! 😍
You may have done it before but I think a 22lr pistol top 10 be cool
The CZ AccuShadow 2 is a CZ Custom Shop version of the Shadow 2, with a fitted, 1911-style barrel bushing, and an even better trigger than the stock Shadow 2.
One note on the 92x performance. It’s not SAO, it’s a da/sa, there’s just not a docker like on normal 92 variants. They do have some sa only models that are newer than the 92x performance though
This, he is supposedly an expert
X macro gang here!!! 🔥🔥. So glad the AXG legions made the lists. Those are my next purchases for pistol! I love my macro….but I remember just renting the 365 AXG legion out at the range, my jaw dropped after the first shot. So smooth. Def worth the price!
Hammer fired rules
Sig ,X-Five Legion is my choice hands down !
YUP.....226...!!!
Px4 Storm on my end!
