I've never understood why pistols with a thumb safety seem to be less desirable and priced lower. I train with my Shield Plus regularly and flicking off the safety with my thumb is an automatic part of my draw.
I own the Shield Plus & love it. I know that many people lump it in with mico 9s, but I don’t. I think it’s more of a subcompact. The extra size & weight makes it a better gun than the mico 9s imo.
It’s super thin and with the flush plate it’s the size of the original Shield footprint. Everyone uses the larger mags making it a larger handgun. But yeah it’s in between a single stack and subcompact in size
My EDC would be the Shield Plus. Amerigo night sights and Maguts 13+1 kit. It gives me just enough room for full purchase. Federal HST's 124 grain. Appendix carry Kydex Holster. Pleased with the package. Over 1k rounds no issues. Your previous video made a believer of me. It's not the name brand but the unit itself. Test it. Make sure it's dependable. Taught me something. Thanks.
On the canik mc9... getting the threaded barrel made mine run flawlessly. I originally had failures to feed but afterwards I've run hundreds of rounds with no issues.
I think I remember you saying you have a G3C at some point... I would consider those micro 9s as well. I have a G2C, and it's my smallest pistol. Anyways, recently, I installed a Keep Tinkering SAO trigger in it, and it completely changed the handgun. I love it. Would love to see your thoughts on one of the Keep Tinkering triggers.
Hellcat Pro used to be my favorite (it's still a great gun), but I've moved on to the P365X or my SIG Custom Works Gold XMacro w/ 3.7" barrel (non-comped slide).
@@spnfirearms Your video with Armory Craft products inspired me to make a custom XMacro. I got the Burnt Bronze Armory Craft XMacro grip mod, SIG Custom Works Gold FCU, SIG Gold Barrel and SIG Coyote Brown XL Slide. It's awesome and all 'Stock' since AC uses OEM grip modules and customizes them from that. 🔫
The sig p365 or 43x are my rotations. Most times the 43x. The csx is kinda cool. A lot of reviews on the csx but I like it myself. That could be the next model I get. Awesome video all of them are great my opinion.

Your next recommendation I want to try are the civil liberty defense rounds. Can you do a video and compare them to underwood and when and why you would use each type of round! Thanks! Cheers 🍻
@@gearbarrel6237 The Hellcat has eaten everything, and just keeps going. The FN Reflex's prefer 124gr ammo. I have run Federal HST124gr +p though all of them with no issue.
Today I carried the Glock 32 gen 4 in Tulster Oath loaded with .357SIG Speer Gold Dots-- wouldn't consider leaving home without it or something else! Love the channel man
I carry my FN reflex, love it, and shoot well with it. Just gotta git gud honestly lol. Anyway, im switching over to a larger gun for winter and the PSA dagger has been good to me. Runs super well. What a value buy
U got some great taste I carry the reflex right now and will be switching to the dagger or the canik for winter. Also just picked up another dagger frame so I can duel carry when I feel bored.
Smith & Wesson Shield Plus with extended mag 15+1 my favorite , on holster a cheapie one from TEMU lol🎉 , but looking for another one with longer barrel …. Best wishes ✌️
11:36 Imo the 2 best p365 43x and as far as the taurus gx4 its the only pistol to tear up my trigger finger but shoots well.And tulster holsters are the jam
Hey, you mentioned the finish wearing off more on your FN Reflex slide, but… (I’ve got good news for you…) what looks like the FDE finish coming off, actually ISN’T. Get you some kind of gun wipes (I use Break Free Collector Gun Wipes) and start rubbing. Most of that black isn’t the finish wearing off, but instead is from the black kydex or leather from the inside of your holsters. Give it a try and you’ll be glad you did! Plus, you’ll know that the gun’s finish is actually better than you thought! Just thought you’d like to know!👍😎. ;-}. MM
Love the channel! Carried Glock 19, alien gear holster, with hornady critical defense rounds. Looking into getting the liberty civil defense rounds bc of your channel
I’ve started to enjoy carrying a Glock 19 with an X300 after carrying a subcompact of some sort for around 4 years. Wintertime makes it worth your while, trust me lol. P365 for summer, G19 for winter, don’t need anything else
Cool love micro pistols... I just acquired an LCP2 380 newest iteration and really like the form factor, but unfortunately after two range trips and the later with bench resting proves the gun to shoot low 3-5 inch and left 3-5 inches at 5 yards contingent upon ammo... Thinking of sending it in... 😢
I have an 18 round mag w/ a +2 extention for my tp9 elite sc…some of the mags for the fullsize models will run well in there but may not lock back lol… and apparently they can also run g2 and g3 mags but i havent tried. See no need or why id ever have too 🤷🏾♂️ 6:16
Hm… that’s interesting.. I’m curious as to why because it should always lock back or that’s basically a “failure” of the firearm. Keep me updated, respect and thanks for watching
I chose the Hell cat and love it. You have a lot of carry guns. I've thought about getting a second micro 9 but just can't figure out why I would. I have the original LCP and LCP Max for pocket. Really can't justify the money for another micro.
I try to always carry a bigger firearm whether its my Canik mete or my 1911, but i always carry my gx4 as a deep concealed backup. Though when a bigger gun isn't possible, i will have my gx4 hidden somewhere. Hornaday critical defense in all.
@@kogasoldier9379 I hated the p365 I shit it and the hellcat back to back and for me personally I thought the sig was more snappy fr Ik alot of people say the other way around
@@desmorris2193 I feel u I have a canik tp9 elite sc and weirdly enough I swear the hellcat shoots exactly like that subcompact for me personally like almost identical so ill prolly just go with that tbh
my reflex shoots ball great, its a awesome little shooter but it refuses to feed hollow points. Gets caught up on every single round trying to chamber of all the hollows i've tried after probably 2-300 rounds of break in time. Thinking about the shield in 45 or .40
I carry a Hellcat RDP with 147 gr Sig V-Crown JHP ammo. Thinking about getting the Winchester white box 147 grain ammo instead though because it’s literally the same price as range ammo. $25 for 50.
I’d consider the hellcat pro and shield plus for a little cheaper options. FN is known for being expensive. I’d recommend going to the store/range and holding/shooting as many options is you can. Whichever one fits your hand like a glove or shoot the best is the one you should get. It will hopefully save you the hassle of selling and buying something new lmao but that happens way too often and you will soon be addicted like the rest of us lol
How many rounds do you have through that canik? 750? I’ve heard rumors of them starting to have issues around a thousand rounds due to the return spring being out of spec…
@spnfirearms what did you do to fix the issues you were having with the Canik MC9? Seriously considering one, but want to make sure the out of battery issue is in the rear view mirror. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the good work!
They're all nice pistols. And i know what you mean about liking the Taurus. I had a G2 Millennium forever and itd runbany ammo. Always reliable eat any ammo and was around 300 at the time. And if it gets stolen or put in evidence locker qont be as bad as custom pistol
That will be in the pocket pistol episode that will be out soon. These are true micro 9’s as in stack and a half mags. My pocket pistol video will be out soon. Thanks for watching and respect
Bro there zero way you have been carrying 129 guns 6-9 months lol when half these guns areb2-4 years old at most this is starting sound unbelievable in a real way that its unbelievable ..like the content but not adding up anymore
I never said I only carried these for 6-9 months? Lmao I have never carried that many handguns; not sure what you are talking about. My channel is over a year and a half old and ive been shooting for watching longer than that. Sounds like a keyboard warrior/hater
Stay strapped or get clapped. -George Washington
Haha 😂 well said George, well said.
Honestly single stacks/micros never worked for me. Subcompact double stacks are my jam. Great video
Good rankings, i like micro 9 as well. I actually rotate Glock 43, H&K VP9 Sk, hellcat, and 365
You should get your hands on a Walther PPS M2! Big fan of it
Just picked up the Mete MC9 yesterday. Had to get the FDE/Black combo. Cant wait to take it shooting
