Stopped watching YM when he shit on us old guys that cast our own bullets. Also, some people just can't appreciate the fact that shooting 'Ol fat and slow calibers is just plain fun! Never underestimate the power of the Big F'in Hole!
Did he state that against people who carry their cast bullets as self defense? That’s the only reason I could think of against it, I remember that video and it didn’t sit right with me either
No, he just thought melting lead by yourself was unhealthy and dumb. He is right; it can be if you're not careful, but that can be said for a lot of things. I've been casting for years. It's fun, safe and economical.
I have had to educate several people about the 10mm over the years. It is essentially the ballistic equivalent of 357 magnum. That was the original intent when it was designed. However, you generally only get that level of power out of boutique ammo companies or with hand loads. Most standard factory loadings are somewhat underpowered. It is a great cartridge and pretty powerful for an autoloader, but is not nearly the power of many of the revolver cartridges.
I've heard quite a few folks say if you want good 10mm, you have to roll your own. That's nuts! That basically means 10mm manufacturers are ripping people off.
@@TUKByV1 I think maybe it has to do with the large manufacturers not wanting to risk a possible catastrophic case head separation in some of the unsupported chambers of semi auto handguns. Buffalo Bore and Underwood both make full power loadings though.
I became a cop in 1987, I am guilty of loving guns so much that I have carried a wide variety of duty and off-duty handguns. I started out with a .357 revolver with a 5-shot backup, and as soon as our agency allowed us, I switched to 9mm. Then we were allowed 45 acp, so of course, I purchased a 45. Then Glock became a thing here and I tried my hand. After that, it was .40 cal. Then back to 9, and recently, I dug my old P220 in 45 out of my sock drawer and carried it again. I have always been a pretty good shot, so I have never felt under-gunned. If we were allowed to carry big bore magnum revolver rounds, I am sure I would have one. When you spoke about firing the 6th round, it made me think. Any time I carry, I have a second gun. You will see videos of people trying out revolvers and more often than not you can tell they were not classically trained in the way of the wheelgun. They do not count their shots so they end up clicking on fired chambers. If they try to speed-load, they do it based on TV or something. There is a lost art to revolver carry and even though I rarely carry one, I feel perfectly comfortable doing so. It really is important where the first round goes. Keep up the great content.
I’ve been in a gunfight, albeit in ‘74 w/my department .38, and pay little attention to caliber wars. In retirement I still carry a small .38 because the heavy/bulky auto loaders are most likely to be left behind. As an aside I don’t care for Yankee Marshall either.
I lived in Alaska and carried a 12 gage across my back when I was fishing in bear country. As a side arm I carried a 45 1911 with hard cast bullets. Whatever you carry you have to be proficient with it. Do not go out alone in Bear country!
I recently discovered your channel and wish to express my joy in your channels content. I find your no nonsense, straight talk, wisdom, dead on the money. I agree with your take on some of today’s ideas concerning self defense and all the wonder guns and calibers out there in semiautomatic form. I’ve been a hand loader for 32 years now and find that if I can’t do what needs doing with a heavy hand load in a 45 Colt, it doesn’t need doing. 335 grain gas checked hard cast LFN sitting atop a full charge of H110 is medicine to cure whatever is troubling you. Hats off to you, Sir. You are a man of higher thinking. Good job. Best of luck to you in the future.
About the 10mm hype; yeah, I don't buy into it either... I trust the cartridge/ballistics tests done by the likes of Gun Sam and Paul Harrell. And 10mm was always a notch below .357 Mag.
I am glad your channel popped up in my feed. I subscribed and I am glad I did. I love your videos and perspective on the stuff you cover in your videos. I wish I had found your channel sooner. Great stuff!!!
I stopped watching the Yahoo Marshall years ago when he started making fun of and putting down more experienced gun people than him He just has a Napoleon complex and an inflated ego. Good video Plowboy!
I have had one encounter with a mad bear. The distance was at 3 feet at the closest point. It started at about 10 feet. I was lucky as a yell stopped the “false” charge. But no one would have had time for more than 2 shots. No 2 charges are the same but the Idea of mag capacity over power just doesn’t make sense to me after that experience.
bottom line no matter what you carry make sure you have the right ammo guy was bow hunting had 10mm and the wrong ammo for bear almost got killed emptying the gun and the bear finally died not before almost mauling the hunter to death
Agreed. Look at any video of bad men taking return fire and you'll see how fast they turn tail. Goes for antifa too. You might not get all six off before they're over the horizon LOL
@@plowboysghost Depends on the woman or the pistol, even revolvers can have mechanical failures. That said, who in their right mind would trust John Dillinger?
My favorite cartridges are the 45 ACP, 40, 357 magnum, 9mm, and 22 LR and 22 magnum. With rifles I love the old reliable 30' 06, and the 45-70. I also love my 12 guage goose gun, 20 guage pump shotgun, and my camo 410. In other words I just love guns. 😅
I think YM has been watching Chuke's Outdoor Channel. Chuke lives in Alaska, updates frequently about Bigfoot, and loves 10mm, 44 mag and 454 casull. He tests all his guns in well below zero and gives honest reviews. BUT. What it comes down to, is the who, what, when, where, and how. Use what you want, in your environment, comfortably.
In my experience, it is 100% all about what you are used to. I've been shooting with my best friend, my dad, and an uncle. My best friend couldn't shoot my Ruger Security Six as well as I could. And I couldn't shoot my Uncle's j-frame Taurus .38 Snubnose because it was too light and the recoil even with LRN .38s tweaked my wrist. I fired five rounds and handed it back, then went back to my .357 Security Six and started hitting the target again.
When the 45 Colt came out for the Army. Colt single action with a 7 1/2 inch barrel. 250 gr cast bullet over 30 grs of black powder running 900 fps. It was reported that load would shoot completely thru an Indian's horse at 100 yards. Look at the writings of John Linebaugh. (RIP) His 45 Colt loads weren't that hot and would pass thru an elk. I'll stick with the kinetic energy of a heavy 44 or 45 cast bullet without getting beat up by the golly whopper magnums.
I am saving up for a Blackhawk and have been going back and forth between practical considerations and heart issues. However, lately I have been tacking toward the 41.
I asked my neighbors, the bear family, what their favorite bear cartridge is. They gave me their standard "stupid human" look and all agreed, the answer is NONE. Also ....... I tend to absorb neither opinion nor advice from anyone named Yankee 😳
Great points. People get so dogmatic about calibers. There is no one "magic bullet". They all have their strengths and limitations. Thanks for the diatribe!
A stout 357mag load using a large frame gun with 6in+ barrel will out perform a 10mm all day long. The 10mm does not have the case volume in my opinion. As for your 9mm buddy. Tell him they make 7 and 8 shot 357 magnums. Hope he counts well.
For me the best 'bear cartridge' is to not go into bear country. Do what you want to but if I'm not at the top of the species food chain I don't go there. I've got no problem with the caliber of cartridge anyone wants to carry so long as they can hit what they're aiming at and not hit me 30 feet away from their target. I've got nothing against 9mm or 10mm but I don't carry them. I shoot both well but I tend to shoot my revolvers better so I carry those instead.
Personally, I carry 10mm (Glock 40) for bear and mountain lion defense in the mountains, and carry 9mm for self-defense in town. I sold my 1911 because I can't hit the broad side of a barn with it. The fault is mine, not the design because John Moses Browning (peace be upon him) was a genius. A coworker bought it and can shoot .45 more accurately than with a 9mm, which is rare in my experience. Moral of the story: to each his own and carry what works for you.
I quit watching YM. When one livestream, he said there's no such thing as gun registration. Here in Michigan, we have to register all handguns/ pistols. I mentioned it in his chat. He called me a liar and his entire cult hammered me for an hour...He never bothered to verify what I said, just said it was BS.... It's literally the law here. You have to get a permit to purchase then you bring the permit filled out to the sheriff's office or local police dept. We used to have to bring the handgun in for an inspection.... It was so weird. Good riddance.
Did they bring back the permit system for FFL purchases? Years ago they eliminated that aspect of it. Only needed for private to private unless CPL holder. Still had to bring in the purchase record to local. We left that crap hole State 2 years ago.
@@shane3878 Im not sure when that would have been. CPL holders do not need a permit. I was speaking generally of course since most ppl do not have a CPL.
@@spookytkid That's why I was asking. Given Whitler's penchant for being a gun grabbing tyrant skank, I didn't know if she had her underlings rewrite that law. But you didn't need the pistol permit if buying FFL.
Plowboy I agree with you 100%. Stopped watching YM years ago, too much of an ah for me. I just love revolvers especially in 45 Colt, 41 Magnum and 44 Special. When I shoot a autoloader its 45ACP for me. I also agree with you that if you make the first shot count you don't 17 rounds and if you are facing multiple assailants you need more than just a 9MM.
All good I'm listening. I think you referred to Chuke. You got to agree his videos are fun to watch. He went from 10 mm to new technology 9 mm as thee Bear defense pistol. I still love your single action open carry video.
I was shooting a nice 6-inch barreled 44Mag once with a friend. A couple of small women wanted to try it. The next thing you know, both women had shot a box of shells. They loved shooting at the steel plate. 👍
45 cap has some powerful variations, you can run 45 super which can be loaded hot like a 10mm, there’s also 460 Rowland, which is a very hot 45acp with a millimeter longer brass so you don’t accidentally chamber it in an unmodified firearm. My favorite is 45 colt or 45 super loaded hot to almost 460 Rowland power. Which makes it close to an average 44 magnum out of a 1911. 45 colt loaded with 40 grains of black is a nice round. For me 9mm has a place as being cheap to shoot and practice with, I have a red dot and slicked up trigger and high capacity magazines and practice with it, and only for that reason I don’t mind carrying it for defense, I still prefer my 1911 commander in 45 because it feels like confidence in my hand and I love the feel of the bone grip. A 1911 commander 4 and 1/4 inch barrel side by side with a Glock 19 they look about the same size. That Glock 19 never made me feel a boost of confidence.
I’m with ya bro, I firmly believe that people with ill intentions have avoided me when they see I’m carrying. Really don’t care how someone carry’s, just carry.
I agree with you in the situation you've laid out here. One on one... However, where I live, trouble tends to come in packs, the word rhymes with 'bangs'. You can hope after the first one or two fall, the rest would high tail it out of there. But, probably not. Even still, I like a 357 or better for self defense. And I like knowing I am not gonna have to deal with jams, or stuck ejection, or whatever. And, well, I am just a cowboy at heart🤠.
Yeah, I know what you're saying about bucket gob YankeeMarshal he's just a little tactless, oh great talk the reliability of a revolver single or double action over a semi auto pistol has its attractions, my preference had always been 44. magnum in Colt's Anaconda with 6-inch barrel, do we actually need a 454 Casull, 460 Smith and Wesson, and 50 magnum Smith and Wesson, 45-70 BFR to me their just in most cases impractical and wrist strainers, great to see your videos on arms.
I think the 10mm is up close to the 357 . With defense type ammo the 357 has more flbs. But i think the bigger bullets makers up for some of it. But the 10 doesn't equal 41 mag much less the 44mag. I like the 45acp. I mean they tried to get close to 45c. A 230 at 900 fps can handle most anything down here. They even work well on hogs up close with good shot placement. I love my 44. But multiple attackers are making me rethink a 5 shot.
It all comes down to what you are comfortable with, all when used effectively will do the job. This whole thing reminds me of which is greater Ford vs Chevy and some will include Dodge, so do what you do the best that you can do.
The auto loading crowd always uses the same arguments to justify their lack of thinking skills. Velocity, Energy and Capacity are the arguments they repetitively use. They don't want to discuss the items that make a cartridge effective. Bullet shape, weight and diameter are truly what matters. They always like to throw in the very mysterious and magical sounding "Modern Bullet Technology" and talk about the time they shot some jello and wow what great results they got. Unfortunately, most of the TH-cam gun channels are now just infomercials, they are only a few steps away from the old tv celebrities selling time shares on QVC
Auto loading crowd?? Lol tech changes and capacity does matter. Hitting the intended target is the most important thing. A hit with a 22 mag is better than a miss with an 06. Peace!!!
@@YellowjacketGTO In general, marksmanship trumps capacity and diameter and sectional density determine effectiveness. You cannot rely on bullet expansion. No matter how many jello block tests are performed. Hollow points are not very reliable at the relatively slow velocities that handguns operate. The "older" lead semi jacketed hollow point or lead flat nose do work reliably. But they dont function very well in auto loaders. Bullet design in auto loading cartridges all suffer from this, its a compromise for reliability.
I wonder if carpenters have a similar calibre like discussion about hammers? How his hammer or that hammers weight in combination is better when hamming this or that nail into diffrent wood? Just wondering. You are right abot the mind set differance in revolver vs pistols though!
😁...he does have a knack for click bait and getting views. I'll give him that. I don't have near the audience level he does....on my best video vs his worst. And he does have some good taste in guns. Maybe it just takes a YankeeMarshal , a Chuke, and someone like me to make the world go round..
But sir you are a definitely what hes not a good influence and you give people new perspective reviving very good rounds such as the 41 mag and saa in general @plowboysghost
As per usual, I agree and spot on. I’d prefer a cannon IF threatened by whatever but I know myself and know it would still be over on the porch. I carry a 38snubby in black bear areas where I run into more than a few but I have it every time. Since I have a new dog that would probably defend me by bringing back a pissy female bear, I bought a bigger snubby! Loading Skeeter’s load. ps-hoping she’ll break-in cuz spinning 5 feels weird and twitchy in this new 69.
I agree with you about YM. He won't review Pietta because it's owned by the same parent company as Uberti. He thinks that means they are the same gun. Nothing could be further from the truth. Seems like he pontificates without any due diligence, like a gun gossip column. That being said I love 9mm because it's cheap and available. I'm even thinking about a Cimarron Pistolero with a nice tight dedicated 9mm barrel just for plinking. It ain't no Bear gun!
Forgotten weapons did a nice explanation of companion cartridges, rifle, SMG pistol and what I took away from his explanation is that if it weren’t for the pistol caliber SMG‘s that the military use. 9 mm wouldn’t even be a thing they carry 9 mm pistols now because they’re better than the 45 is because the SMG use 9mm For the most part, and having the same round available for your pistol and your Long gun has been a thing since the 1870s ie 44wcf rifles and handguns
While I'm a fan of both 9mm and 45 acp in the right gun. 1911's, Hi Powers, and even Beretta 92's. They are no longer my carry gun. As far as Bigfoot goes, I've seen one at about 50 feet in my headlights, while on duty.I was armed with a 1911 in .45 Acp at the time, and I guarantee it wouldn't have been big enough to put it down. I don't know if any handgun is. It had to be 800 pounds of spring steel and rawhide. I wouldn't want less than a .30-06 and preferably a 45-70 or some African dangerous game round. Not long after I saw the bigfoot, I was severely injured in the line of duty. What do you do with a crippled up old Cop. My gun collection took a beating. I have two handguns left. A cap and ball Remington and Single Action Army (Italian) in .45 Colt. What can I say, I'm an old Cowboy. I don't shoot the Remington much. The Single Action Army usually rides in a crossdraw holster that I got from Rob Leahy at Simply Rugged Holsters. Around town, I load it with 250 grain Hornaday XTP hollow points. I know it won't take the pressures of a Ruger, so my load in the hills is very vintage. 40 grains of 3f black powder behind a 250 gr hard cast bullet. The black powder lets me get more velocity without stressing the gun. It's not perfect; but it did the job in 1880. I'm down to three rifles two of them are .22's and Dad's old 30-30. The .30-30 will do most anything in a pinch. Sometimes you gotta run with what you brung.
I heartily agree about 10mm and worshiping at the altar of paper energy. I keep trying to reconcile the capacity argument when you’re dealing with something that runs 35 mph. As for Yankee Marshal… his incoherent diatribe in which he called shooters of cast bullets complete morons tells me all I need to know.
I support your 500 JRH big bore choice. The factory loads from Buffalo Bore in 500 JRH using a 440 grain bullet from 950fps like a Big 45 Colt and at 1350 fps like a 475 Linebaugh big bore loading. Really nice in a carry revolver.
I’m not sure if the 10 mm is overrated but I agree the Smith 500 is way to heavy and bulky you could actually carry a Marlin guide gun in 45/70 and it would not be much heavier
I read about an account of where a guy repelled an attacking Bigfoot with a Ruger 1022 with a 30 round magazine, giving him a chance to get back to his truck and get out of there. Moral of the story is any gun is better than no gun...
1st handgun in 1994 was a .45 ACP hi-cap 1911 when I was 21 y.o. = no regrets. I lived in Alaska for 30+ years & the 10mm is no death ray: a lot of fellas seen in "the field" had revolvers that were .44 Magnum m-i-n-i-m-u-m. The .460S&W /.500S&W are cool, but for bragging rights + impress folks that don't care. A 12 gauge shotgun loaded with slugs is also popular in Alaska as it's "more at the ready". Now me, living in The Lower48, wants a Ruger Blackhawk 5.5" using heavy .45 Colt thanx to ployboyghost.
One thing I rarely, if ever, hear or see mentioned/covered in videos is the infamous failure to feed/extract/go bang/bad magazine problems common to ALL semi-auto pistols. I much prefer being able to simply pull the trigger to bring up the next chamber of a revolver when the one before it does not go bang. But I can be two faced on the subject of semi-autos. I retired a perfectly serviceable, very accurate 9mm to the gun safe because I simply came to distrust the round, regardless of bullet type or manufacturer, to get the job done when I really, really needed it too. I reverted to my old, all metal, single stack Smith (compact) in .40S&W and usually carry it loaded with 155grn JHPs but have been known to switch to 135grn JHP rounds. I still carry two extra mags, just as I did with 9mm, or 9 Minimal as I like to call it, because if my faithful old .40S&W does "jam" as I'm sure it will eventually, I can just drop that mag, clear the feed ramp/chamber in a big hurry and insert magazine #2. But I am looking at a Charter Arms "Bulldog", in .44 Special, that has been calling out to me since I traded it's twin off back in 1980....For a damn 9 Minimal. If I go with the 21st century version of that little revolver I bet I won't make the mistake of trading it off. Five 250grn LSWCHPs in the wheel and ten in two speed loaders makes for a serious defensive load out. As for YM....Well, I did subscribe to his channel for a while, but no more. And I won't be going back!
Right!!!! 1o millamataa!! what good is it if it blows up in your hand? lots of em! you cant keep stuffin powder in dem boo lots into plastic light weight pistolas!
I used to want a 10mm until I started reading more about 45 super and 460 Rowland. Heavier bullets as similar or faster velocities just makes a non standard bullet diameter unnecessary.
Yankee seems to try to make controversial opinion vids just to get clicks. He's also one of the silly guntubers like Kentucky Ballistics both of whom kinda wear thin on me real quick. You, Ron Spomer, Hickok 45, Mixup 98, Paul Harrel and others are appreciated.
I agree. There is a LOT of hype going on in the shooting community. Some of it is completely nonsensical. I kind of look at it this way, its what is PROVEN to get the job done. Bottom line: 45LC has been putting bad men down for over 100 years. Its a known quantity. .357, .45acp, 44 magnum are all known quantities. A lot of these newer cartridges don't have that history. I'd also point out that the wonder bullets a lot of folks tout rely on specialty alloys. After multiple ammo shortages you can't be sure of getting those bullets when the chips are down. So the bottom line is which are you going to bet your ass on, the cartridges that are proven to work or the ones that may work.
Not a fan of YankeeMarshal. Watched him a few times. Just too goofy for my interest. I don't find his information to be helpful or consistent either. Plowboysghost, I enjoy your channel. I'll stick with it. Thanks for the info, and for sharing with the rest of us.
Bleah, I hate to have to agree with the yankeemarshal. I Can’t stand him. I’ve had two 10mm’s and the both jammed. A Glock and a Dan Wesson. That’s what pushed me into more reliable revolvers. Although I do still want a S&W 610 for the heck of it,,,
I've got several semi autos and revolvers and carried both semi autos and revolvers as a police officer. The 10mm is very good outdoors defense caliber and a great choice IF you have thoroughly tested that exact cartridge in that exact gun. You have to be absolutely sure its going to function perfectly when you need it. Personally I don't own a 10mm because I can shoot .45 Super out my G21 w/Storm Lake extended ported barrel and a spring change. I wouldn't think twice about trusting it in the big bear woods but I also like to hedge my bets by also having a revolver. I'm not climbing mountains either so a pistol in holster and a .44 magnum revolver in chest rig would still be plenty manageable. Although since my favorite caliber is .45 Colt, I would want to carry my Bisley Blackhawk. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I'll likely never make it to that part of the country so I'm just daydreaming anyway. As far as Chuke goes, I don't watch any of his Bigfoot stuff. I do watch his other videos and while he does prefer 10mm if you're carrying a semi auto, the gun he says he prefers to carry is a Ruger Redhawk Toklat .454 Casull. I give him a lot of credit for testing a lot of different guns and cartridge combinations. He's not an expert and he often says that in his videos. I enjoy watching him learn new things and showing others along the way. He's definitely out there on the bigfoot stuff but he's also a pretty humble guy which I appreciate. A total opposite of that slime trail leaving Yankee Marshal who I stopped following when he falsely accused Mr. Guns N Gear of stolen valor and then went into that barricaded part of Portland during the riots and declared all the people there were just peaceful people (completely ignoring those same people had rioted, burned, robbed and destroyed a large part of that city not long before his little video walk around).
People will always people! 😂 They ruin everything it seems. There is a great interview with an actual long standing bear guides in Alaska on Ron Spomer’s channel. He said he totes around a .357 magnum and so does his family. Look it up!😊
A good ole boy from Alabama doesn't like a ''Yankee'' Marshall... Imagine that😁😁! This old Texan here, well, to me, YM embodies a whole lot about why didn't like them in the 70's and 80's when they were coming down in droves from up north.
I was just looking through U Tube to look at what interest me nothing in particular old cars,tractors and of course guns. I saw the title of your video and it caught my attention i watched the whole thing. I was very impressed. You definitely know what you’re talking about. I watch some of the channels you mentioned and you’re absolutely correct some of those guys one week this gun and caliber is the best the next week it’s the biggest piece of 💩out there. I’ll and old revolver any day over a new plastic semi auto.
The 10mm has been down loaded by most ammo makers. I would not want to be shot by any hand gun cartridge. I carried revolvers and still do with a laser sight, but I now carry 9mm autos with a red dot sight because my eye sight on iron sights is poorer than it used to be.
It's still a free country, people should carry what you want to carry. After all it is your behind on the line. I admit I find the YM annoying, but sometimes he is right, sometimes not. At heart I am a revolver person, but due to health semi autos are just much lighter to carry. Plus add that I don't expect trouble, or go places where there might be trouble. A handgun is just like a fire extinguisher, there just in case.
I agree with your thoughts. YM does irritate me, although I find I agree with him on some things. I do disagree with him on .45 acp. As far as the other TH-camr, you failed to mention he couldn't hit the side of a barn if he was standing 5 feet in front of it, or locked in it for that matter. In bear country, I'll take my Smith 629 over my 10mm all day long. I've been shooting 10mm since the late 90s ( I like the cartridge) and while it is a good autoloader cartridge, it just doesn't do what a .44 magnum, a 45 Colt (loaded right), or a .41 mag will do. Also, a 10mm isn't a .357 magnum either. People have really made the 10mm into something mythical.
Plowboy, what I like about you and your content is that you understand real power. You don’t depend on emotions to back up your stance on a subject. You know your beans about what it takes to knockdown a powerful threat. I’ve read about hunters using autos in the back country for protection against the bad woolly buggers but for me I’d start off with a .357 mag then work my way up to a .45colt or a .44mag in bear country. Now I wouldn’t brown or griz hunt with a sidearm because I’m just not that good with one but I would definitely have my Blackhawk on me for backup. Your logic always trumps these idiot Bigfoot hunters!!!😄 You didn’t ramble, just made very good points!! Keep them coming brother! Btw, I just bought an old H&R single shot .44 mag!!! It shoots straight as a string at 50 yards with a 1.5” group iron sights. Not too bad for an old fart like me with aging eyeballs!! Thanks and always great video. 👍
There's so much good gun related content on TH-cam that I have no need to listen to Yankee Marshal, Whether I agree with him or not, there are too many content creators who don't annoy me.
I have 1 10mm its a ruger super redhawk 6inch barrel. It shoots 40sw and 10mm point of aim. I would tote in bear area my 41 mag ,44mag or 45colt, on my side. But I agree a good ole 12ga slug is hard to beat. I agree he is just that a Yankee. As a side note I talked to my area bigfoot and he likes to carry a 45colt.
Yankee has so many Revolvers that Id love to Have I watch him for that Mostly. I like 9mm because they make so much of it. I really need to stop playing around and try and get into Reloading. not necessarily because it's Cheaper. Just so I can have a more consistent Supply of Ammo. California doesn't let us have more then 10 Rounds in a Handgun and I think having more Ammo is always better then having less. but being able to do the work that needs to be done with what you have is what's most important.
I saw that video and I think I commented on it. I do like 10mm have it in an 1911 platform and yes there’s a lot of misconceptions about the power of 10mm I know several people who believe it surpasses 44 magnum and they refuse to believe otherwise.
I’m with ya on this whole rant..however I do disagree with you on when you said that “inter dimensional beings” or “Sasquatch” or whatever ppl want to call em angels, demons etc.. the reason I disagree is because that vast amount of research in the subject and credible first hand accounts of upstanding productive members of society have had.. also the research in physics and most notably (sound,frequency) studies have profoundly changed the scope of how we view reality in the scientific community.. and to truly be scientific about we must leave everything a theory to remain open to possibilities.. I will also like to leave you with this.. belief and knowledge are two different things, and WE all believe more than we know!! Whatever you believe or don’t believe is your religion, every human on earth has a belief it is inescapable!! P.S. they exist and when I say “they” I’m simply talking about other entities that exist in a different spectrum of frequency and vibration and it seems through all the evidence and research from a multitude of different sources that they can somehow enter our spectrum and so on.. are they apes? Or aliens.. well from what I’ve researched over the years “they” “it” can change how we perceive them.. so they are whatever it is they want to appear to be to us..
Yet we don’t have a single shred of physical evidence. No skull or bone or hair….. and we still have no clear footage. Sorry bro but we need proof , not stories.
I'll shoot anything and everything, but the truth is, shot placement is key and any mechanical thing can break down. If you are sprayin' and prayin' while holding it sideways, "Gangsa style" you wont hit much. The only hand gun I've had that wouldnt run was a wheel gun. every few shots it was impossible to turn the cylinder unless you opened it and closed it again. (Ruger's factory service is fantastic, by the way.)
The main issues that need addressing when enjoying the Great Land are Moose and Bears. Those are handgun worthy opponents up here because you will encounter these close up, like when your enjoying a nice walk through nature and they just happen to cross the path ahead of you and get startled or offended by your presence. The Sasquatch up here are very aware of you - way more than you could ever be of them and they will purposely distance themselves from you. They would require some distance marksmanship skill with an adequate high power rifle caliber IF someone was so inclined to take a shot at a creature that eerily resembles a person. I would never shoot at one because even though my mind understands that no human in a costume would be in the areas where these sightings occur at the times they've occurred, there's always that nagging possibiliity that it is a person cleverly trying to outsmart and hoax you, even say 4 days or 5 days hike back in the most remote and horribly strenuous places to get to where only the trophy mammals of Alaska are supposed to reside. Why would someone who is already 7 foot tall or more pack in cumbersome ghillie suit at near freezing temps when ultra-lite gear and camp pack would be essential especially if you were expecting to haul any meat out with you? But you'll notice the nagging persists. Then you think as they wander off at quarter shoulder away from you, how does one even go about harvesting and processing something so closely related to our species without some Jeffery Dahmer instincts? When you see them these thoughts pervade, and then you realize the short barrel 44 Mag revolver in your chest holster is not going to ever be able to reach that far anyway, say the distance of 2 mountain saddles away from you, or a half dozen power pole distances away on a huge straight neverending utility right of way cut through the wilderness where each set of 80 foot tall poles are set 250 yards apart. This is where they'll let you see them - but make no mistake they know exactly where you are at all times. They don't have to hunt for you. If they ever get close enough to let you smell them, by the time you catch a whiff they have already backed out far enough to just observe your reaction from a safe distance. So the 44 Mag is the ideal side arm for Moose and Bear in AK, moose being the most dangerous, most deadly and most prolific encounters you're apt to have where distances are way too close for comfort. Otherwise enjoy the best the Great Land has to offer and please leave our hairy bipedal friends alone. Thanks.
I think Jeff Cooper’s Bren 10 lasted two seasons on Miami Vice, prop people complained of functionality problems, I don’t think the pistol lasted much longer this was the start of the hype around 10 mm it was the shiny object for awhile, it’s worked a lot better in other platforms. My main carry is a Colt Commander in .45 ACP, I carried a 1911 in the Marines it served me well. A personal preference though, not the last word in anything. Keep the videos coming, excellent conversation all around.ARP my ass.🤣😎⚓️
All great points haus. I love my .45 AARPs LOL. My first handgun in 1990 was a Colt Goldcup. I was 18, strawman purchase. Still my fav pistol (1911s in general that is). I agree, Yankee is just a tool. I occasionally watch a vid if it's a subject I'm morbidly curious about, but by and large I just right him off as a tool that likes to make click bait videos. His grandma raised him, what can you say? haha.
Stopped watching YM when he shit on us old guys that cast our own bullets.
Also, some people just can't appreciate the fact that shooting 'Ol fat and slow calibers is just plain fun!
Never underestimate the power of the Big F'in Hole!
Amen
That mindset makes absolutely no sense to me. After as many ammo shortages as we've had you'd best be thinking of casting your own bullets.
Did he state that against people who carry their cast bullets as self defense? That’s the only reason I could think of against it, I remember that video and it didn’t sit right with me either
No, he just thought melting lead by yourself was unhealthy and dumb. He is right; it can be if you're not careful, but that can be said for a lot of things.
I've been casting for years. It's fun, safe and economical.
@@bravobear1844 Well, isnt that kind of right? I mean there might bee an issue about amunition in a self defence case when it comes to a trial, right?
I live in Alaska and my everyday all around cartridge is 357 Magnum
Seems like a solid choice!
357 mag, chambered in both my rifle and revolver
Isn't that a little lite for Alaska?
I have had to educate several people about the 10mm over the years. It is essentially the ballistic equivalent of 357 magnum. That was the original intent when it was designed. However, you generally only get that level of power out of boutique ammo companies or with hand loads. Most standard factory loadings are somewhat underpowered. It is a great cartridge and pretty powerful for an autoloader, but is not nearly the power of many of the revolver cartridges.
Exactly. Most factory 10mm is .40 S&W on paper and on target.
I'm a subscriber of yours, BTW
I've heard quite a few folks say if you want good 10mm, you have to roll your own. That's nuts! That basically means 10mm manufacturers are ripping people off.
@@TUKByV1 I think maybe it has to do with the large manufacturers not wanting to risk a possible catastrophic case head separation in some of the unsupported chambers of semi auto handguns. Buffalo Bore and Underwood both make full power loadings though.
@@Preacher357 Thanks for the heads up!
Never tell your detractors that carrying more lead uphill for less reason is a bad thing. 😅
I became a cop in 1987, I am guilty of loving guns so much that I have carried a wide variety of duty and off-duty handguns. I started out with a .357 revolver with a 5-shot backup, and as soon as our agency allowed us, I switched to 9mm. Then we were allowed 45 acp, so of course, I purchased a 45. Then Glock became a thing here and I tried my hand. After that, it was .40 cal. Then back to 9, and recently, I dug my old P220 in 45 out of my sock drawer and carried it again. I have always been a pretty good shot, so I have never felt under-gunned. If we were allowed to carry big bore magnum revolver rounds, I am sure I would have one. When you spoke about firing the 6th round, it made me think. Any time I carry, I have a second gun. You will see videos of people trying out revolvers and more often than not you can tell they were not classically trained in the way of the wheelgun. They do not count their shots so they end up clicking on fired chambers. If they try to speed-load, they do it based on TV or something. There is a lost art to revolver carry and even though I rarely carry one, I feel perfectly comfortable doing so. It really is important where the first round goes. Keep up the great content.
I’ve been in a gunfight, albeit in ‘74 w/my department .38, and pay little attention to caliber wars. In retirement I still carry a small .38 because the heavy/bulky auto loaders are most likely to be left behind. As an aside I don’t care for Yankee Marshall either.
I lived in Alaska and carried a 12 gage across my back when I was fishing in bear country. As a side arm I carried a 45 1911 with hard cast bullets. Whatever you carry you have to be proficient with it. Do not go out alone in Bear country!
I recently discovered your channel and wish to express my joy in your channels content. I find your no nonsense, straight talk, wisdom, dead on the money. I agree with your take on some of today’s ideas concerning self defense and all the wonder guns and calibers out there in semiautomatic form. I’ve been a hand loader for 32 years now and find that if I can’t do what needs doing with a heavy hand load in a 45 Colt, it doesn’t need doing. 335 grain gas checked hard cast LFN sitting atop a full charge of H110 is medicine to cure whatever is troubling you. Hats off to you, Sir. You are a man of higher thinking. Good job. Best of luck to you in the future.
About the 10mm hype; yeah, I don't buy into it either... I trust the cartridge/ballistics tests done by the likes of Gun Sam and Paul Harrell. And 10mm was always a notch below .357 Mag.
Agreed

@@plowboysghost Your welcome!
I love his obnoxious ass
I have had one encounter with a mad bear. The distance was at 3 feet at the closest point. It started at about 10 feet. I was lucky as a yell stopped the “false” charge. But no one would have had time for more than 2 shots. No 2 charges are the same but the Idea of mag capacity over power just doesn’t make sense to me after that experience.
That's how I see it, too
bottom line no matter what you carry make sure you have the right ammo guy was bow hunting had 10mm and the wrong ammo for bear almost got killed emptying the gun and the bear finally died not before almost mauling the hunter to death
If a mod 57 in .41 mag weighed 2 lbs less, i would carry it all day long

Spot on you are!! Makes a whole lot of sense to me! Your rambling tells it like it is! Thanks for sharing.
I think YM has been watching Chuke's Outdoor Channel.
Chuke lives in Alaska, updates frequently about Bigfoot, and loves 10mm, 44 mag and 454 casull.
He tests all his guns in well below zero and gives honest reviews.
BUT. What it comes down to, is the who, what, when, where, and how.
Use what you want, in your environment, comfortably.
In my experience, it is 100% all about what you are used to. I've been shooting with my best friend, my dad, and an uncle. My best friend couldn't shoot my Ruger Security Six as well as I could. And I couldn't shoot my Uncle's j-frame Taurus .38 Snubnose because it was too light and the recoil even with LRN .38s tweaked my wrist. I fired five rounds and handed it back, then went back to my .357 Security Six and started hitting the target again.
When the 45 Colt came out for the Army. Colt single action with a 7 1/2 inch barrel. 250 gr cast bullet over 30 grs of black powder running 900 fps. It was reported that load would shoot completely thru an Indian's horse at 100 yards. Look at the writings of John Linebaugh. (RIP) His 45 Colt loads weren't that hot and would pass thru an elk. I'll stick with the kinetic energy of a heavy 44 or 45 cast bullet without getting beat up by the golly whopper magnums.
Subscribed. I'm a fan of 45ACP and 45 Long Colt
I am saving up for a Blackhawk and have been going back and forth between practical considerations and heart issues. However, lately I have been tacking toward the 41.

It has always been said a handgun is to fight your way to the rifle you should of had in the first place
That's not realistic so it's a pointless thing to say
I asked my neighbors, the bear family, what their favorite bear cartridge is. They gave me their standard "stupid human" look and all agreed, the answer is NONE. Also ....... I tend to absorb neither opinion nor advice from anyone named Yankee 😳
A wise policy, indeed 😁👍
I'm pretty sure Yankee gets the same mailers from Aarp that I do😂
YM is a legend in his mind
Great points. People get so dogmatic about calibers. There is no one "magic bullet". They all have their strengths and limitations. Thanks for the diatribe!
A stout 357mag load using a large frame gun with 6in+ barrel will out perform a 10mm all day long. The 10mm does not have the case volume in my opinion. As for your 9mm buddy. Tell him they make 7 and 8 shot 357 magnums. Hope he counts well.
😁👍
Case volume means zero. It's the powder type. I can easily overpower a 10mm with most powders recommended for the cartridge.
For me the best 'bear cartridge' is to not go into bear country. Do what you want to but if I'm not at the top of the species food chain I don't go there. I've got no problem with the caliber of cartridge anyone wants to carry so long as they can hit what they're aiming at and not hit me 30 feet away from their target. I've got nothing against 9mm or 10mm but I don't carry them. I shoot both well but I tend to shoot my revolvers better so I carry those instead.
Personally, I carry 10mm (Glock 40) for bear and mountain lion defense in the mountains, and carry 9mm for self-defense in town. I sold my 1911 because I can't hit the broad side of a barn with it. The fault is mine, not the design because John Moses Browning (peace be upon him) was a genius. A coworker bought it and can shoot .45 more accurately than with a 9mm, which is rare in my experience. Moral of the story: to each his own and carry what works for you.
Don't sugar coat it, Plowboy, how do you really feel. That was great 👍.
While I’m a fan of 10mm in my 1911s you definitely speak facts here.
I have been a 44 Mag man for over 40 years now .
Not much I can't do with 44 mag or 44 special.

I quit watching YM. When one livestream, he said there's no such thing as gun registration. Here in Michigan, we have to register all handguns/ pistols. I mentioned it in his chat. He called me a liar and his entire cult hammered me for an hour...He never bothered to verify what I said, just said it was BS.... It's literally the law here. You have to get a permit to purchase then you bring the permit filled out to the sheriff's office or local police dept. We used to have to bring the handgun in for an inspection.... It was so weird. Good riddance.
Did they bring back the permit system for FFL purchases? Years ago they eliminated that aspect of it. Only needed for private to private unless CPL holder. Still had to bring in the purchase record to local. We left that crap hole State 2 years ago.
@@shane3878 Im not sure when that would have been. CPL holders do not need a permit. I was speaking generally of course since most ppl do not have a CPL.
@@spookytkid That's why I was asking. Given Whitler's penchant for being a gun grabbing tyrant skank, I didn't know if she had her underlings rewrite that law. But you didn't need the pistol permit if buying FFL.

Plowboy I agree with you 100%. Stopped watching YM years ago, too much of an ah for me. I just love revolvers especially in 45 Colt, 41 Magnum and 44 Special. When I shoot a autoloader its 45ACP for me. I also agree with you that if you make the first shot count you don't 17 rounds and if you are facing multiple assailants you need more than just a 9MM.
All good I'm listening. I think you referred to Chuke. You got to agree his videos are fun to watch. He went from 10 mm to new technology 9 mm as thee Bear defense pistol. I still love your single action open carry video.
@@artcantulaw I get a kick out of him.
I was shooting a nice 6-inch barreled 44Mag once with a friend. A couple of small women wanted to try it. The next thing you know, both women had shot a box of shells. They loved shooting at the steel plate. 👍
45 cap has some powerful variations, you can run 45 super which can be loaded hot like a 10mm, there’s also 460 Rowland, which is a very hot 45acp with a millimeter longer brass so you don’t accidentally chamber it in an unmodified firearm. My favorite is 45 colt or 45 super loaded hot to almost 460 Rowland power. Which makes it close to an average 44 magnum out of a 1911. 45 colt loaded with 40 grains of black is a nice round.
For me 9mm has a place as being cheap to shoot and practice with, I have a red dot and slicked up trigger and high capacity magazines and practice with it, and only for that reason I don’t mind carrying it for defense, I still prefer my 1911 commander in 45 because it feels like confidence in my hand and I love the feel of the bone grip. A 1911 commander 4 and 1/4 inch barrel side by side with a Glock 19 they look about the same size. That Glock 19 never made me feel a boost of confidence.
I’m with ya bro, I firmly believe that people with ill intentions have avoided me when they see I’m carrying.
Really don’t care how someone carry’s, just carry.
I agree with you in the situation you've laid out here. One on one...
However, where I live, trouble tends to come in packs, the word rhymes with 'bangs'. You can hope after the first one or two fall, the rest would high tail it out of there. But, probably not. Even still, I like a 357 or better for self defense. And I like knowing I am not gonna have to deal with jams, or stuck ejection, or whatever. And, well, I am just a cowboy at heart🤠.
Only thing wrong with the 10 mm is that the manufacturer don’t load it to? It’s full potential that’s it.
Yeah, I know what you're saying about bucket gob YankeeMarshal he's just a little tactless, oh great talk the reliability of a revolver single or double action over a semi auto pistol has its attractions, my preference had always been 44. magnum in Colt's Anaconda with 6-inch barrel, do we actually need a 454 Casull, 460 Smith and Wesson, and 50 magnum Smith and Wesson, 45-70 BFR to me their just in most cases impractical and wrist strainers, great to see your videos on arms.
Yep
I think the 10mm is up close to the 357 . With defense type ammo the 357 has more flbs. But i think the bigger bullets makers up for some of it.
But the 10 doesn't equal 41 mag much less the 44mag.
I like the 45acp. I mean they tried to get close to 45c. A 230 at 900 fps can handle most anything down here.
They even work well on hogs up close with good shot placement.
I love my 44. But multiple attackers are making me rethink a 5 shot.
It all comes down to what you are comfortable with, all when used effectively will do the job. This whole thing reminds me of which is greater Ford vs Chevy and some will include Dodge, so do what you do the best that you can do.
Wasn’t the 10mm Norma designed to push a combat pistol effectiveness out to 100 yards?
The auto loading crowd always uses the same arguments to justify their lack of thinking skills. Velocity, Energy and Capacity are the arguments they repetitively use. They don't want to discuss the items that make a cartridge effective. Bullet shape, weight and diameter are truly what matters. They always like to throw in the very mysterious and magical sounding "Modern Bullet Technology" and talk about the time they shot some jello and wow what great results they got. Unfortunately, most of the TH-cam gun channels are now just infomercials, they are only a few steps away from the old tv celebrities selling time shares on QVC
That term "modern" comes up in every argument for little, light, and fast bullets
Auto loading crowd?? Lol tech changes and capacity does matter. Hitting the intended target is the most important thing. A hit with a 22 mag is better than a miss with an 06. Peace!!!
@@YellowjacketGTO In general, marksmanship trumps capacity and diameter and sectional density determine effectiveness. You cannot rely on bullet expansion. No matter how many jello block tests are performed. Hollow points are not very reliable at the relatively slow velocities that handguns operate. The "older" lead semi jacketed hollow point or lead flat nose do work reliably. But they dont function very well in auto loaders. Bullet design in auto loading cartridges all suffer from this, its a compromise for reliability.
I wonder if carpenters have a similar calibre like discussion about hammers? How his hammer or that hammers weight in combination is better when hamming this or that nail into diffrent wood? Just wondering. You are right abot the mind set differance in revolver vs pistols though!

I appreciate your style.
As per usual, I agree and spot on. I’d prefer a cannon IF threatened by whatever but I know myself and know it would still be over on the porch. I carry a 38snubby in black bear areas where I run into more than a few but I have it every time. Since I have a new dog that would probably defend me by bringing back a pissy female bear, I bought a bigger snubby! Loading Skeeter’s load. ps-hoping she’ll break-in cuz spinning 5 feels weird and twitchy in this new 69.
I agree with you about YM. He won't review Pietta because it's owned by the same parent company as Uberti. He thinks that means they are the same gun. Nothing could be further from the truth. Seems like he pontificates without any due diligence, like a gun gossip column. That being said I love 9mm because it's cheap and available. I'm even thinking about a Cimarron Pistolero with a nice tight dedicated 9mm barrel just for plinking. It ain't no Bear gun!
Forgotten weapons did a nice explanation of companion cartridges, rifle, SMG pistol and what I took away from his explanation is that if it weren’t for the pistol caliber SMG‘s that the military use. 9 mm wouldn’t even be a thing they carry 9 mm pistols now because they’re better than the 45 is because the SMG use 9mm For the most part, and having the same round available for your pistol and your Long gun has been a thing since the 1870s ie 44wcf rifles and handguns
While I'm a fan of both 9mm and 45 acp in the right gun. 1911's, Hi Powers, and even Beretta 92's. They are no longer my carry gun. As far as Bigfoot goes, I've seen one at about 50 feet in my headlights, while on duty.I was armed with a 1911 in .45 Acp at the time, and I guarantee it wouldn't have been big enough to put it down. I don't know if any handgun is. It had to be 800 pounds of spring steel and rawhide. I wouldn't want less than a .30-06 and preferably a 45-70 or some African dangerous game round.
Not long after I saw the bigfoot, I was severely injured in the line of duty. What do you do with a crippled up old Cop. My gun collection took a beating. I have two handguns left. A cap and ball Remington and Single Action Army (Italian) in .45 Colt. What can I say, I'm an old Cowboy. I don't shoot the Remington much. The Single Action Army usually rides in a crossdraw holster that I got from Rob Leahy at Simply Rugged Holsters. Around town, I load it with 250 grain Hornaday XTP hollow points. I know it won't take the pressures of a Ruger, so my load in the hills is very vintage. 40 grains of 3f black powder behind a 250 gr hard cast bullet. The black powder lets me get more velocity without stressing the gun. It's not perfect; but it did the job in 1880. I'm down to three rifles two of them are .22's and Dad's old 30-30. The .30-30 will do most anything in a pinch. Sometimes you gotta run with what you brung.
Lol!!😂
I draw the line at .22 short as a credibile "Bear cartridge"!!!😅😂
@@cliffchilders5820 😁👍
I heartily agree about 10mm and worshiping at the altar of paper energy. I keep trying to reconcile the capacity argument when you’re dealing with something that runs 35 mph.
As for Yankee Marshal… his incoherent diatribe in which he called shooters of cast bullets complete morons tells me all I need to know.
I support your 500 JRH big bore choice. The factory loads from Buffalo Bore in 500 JRH using a 440 grain bullet from 950fps like a Big 45 Colt and at 1350 fps like a 475 Linebaugh big bore loading. Really nice in a carry revolver.
I also get tired of the statements that the 10mm is equivalent to the 41 or 44 mags. At best it is comparable to the 357 mag.
I’m not sure if the 10 mm is overrated but I agree the Smith 500 is way to heavy and bulky you could actually carry a Marlin guide gun in 45/70 and it would not be much heavier
@@bobyjones3905 The 10 is overrated...and the .500 S&W is too large to be practical .

I read about an account of where a guy repelled an attacking Bigfoot with a Ruger 1022 with a 30 round magazine, giving him a chance to get back to his truck and get out of there. Moral of the story is any gun is better than no gun...
1st handgun in 1994 was a .45 ACP hi-cap 1911 when I was 21 y.o. = no regrets. I lived in Alaska for 30+ years & the 10mm is no death ray: a lot of fellas seen in "the field" had revolvers that were .44 Magnum m-i-n-i-m-u-m. The .460S&W /.500S&W are cool, but for bragging rights + impress folks that don't care. A 12 gauge shotgun loaded with slugs is also popular in Alaska as it's "more at the ready". Now me, living in The Lower48, wants a Ruger Blackhawk 5.5" using heavy .45 Colt thanx to ployboyghost.
One thing I rarely, if ever, hear or see mentioned/covered in videos is the infamous failure to feed/extract/go bang/bad magazine problems common to ALL semi-auto pistols. I much prefer being able to simply pull the trigger to bring up the next chamber of a revolver when the one before it does not go bang. But I can be two faced on the subject of semi-autos. I retired a perfectly serviceable, very accurate 9mm to the gun safe because I simply came to distrust the round, regardless of bullet type or manufacturer, to get the job done when I really, really needed it too. I reverted to my old, all metal, single stack Smith (compact) in .40S&W and usually carry it loaded with 155grn JHPs but have been known to switch to 135grn JHP rounds. I still carry two extra mags, just as I did with 9mm, or 9 Minimal as I like to call it, because if my faithful old .40S&W does "jam" as I'm sure it will eventually, I can just drop that mag, clear the feed ramp/chamber in a big hurry and insert magazine #2. But I am looking at a Charter Arms "Bulldog", in .44 Special, that has been calling out to me since I traded it's twin off back in 1980....For a damn 9 Minimal. If I go with the 21st century version of that little revolver I bet I won't make the mistake of trading it off. Five 250grn LSWCHPs in the wheel and ten in two speed loaders makes for a serious defensive load out. As for YM....Well, I did subscribe to his channel for a while, but no more. And I won't be going back!
Right!!!! 1o millamataa!! what good is it if it blows up in your hand? lots of em! you cant keep stuffin powder in dem boo lots into plastic light weight pistolas!
I used to want a 10mm until I started reading more about 45 super and 460 Rowland. Heavier bullets as similar or faster velocities just makes a non standard bullet diameter unnecessary.

You, Ron Spomer, Hickok 45, Mixup 98, Paul Harrel and others are appreciated.
I agree. There is a LOT of hype going on in the shooting community. Some of it is completely nonsensical. I kind of look at it this way, its what is PROVEN to get the job done. Bottom line: 45LC has been putting bad men down for over 100 years. Its a known quantity. .357, .45acp, 44 magnum are all known quantities. A lot of these newer cartridges don't have that history. I'd also point out that the wonder bullets a lot of folks tout rely on specialty alloys. After multiple ammo shortages you can't be sure of getting those bullets when the chips are down. So the bottom line is which are you going to bet your ass on, the cartridges that are proven to work or the ones that may work.
NYC Law prohibits having more than 7 rounds in the gun.

What kills better a bb going 4000 fps or a bowling ball going 300 fps?
Bleah, I hate to have to agree with the yankeemarshal. I Can’t stand him. I’ve had two 10mm’s and the both jammed. A Glock and a Dan Wesson. That’s what pushed me into more reliable revolvers. Although I do still want a S&W 610 for the heck of it,,,
I've got several semi autos and revolvers and carried both semi autos and revolvers as a police officer. The 10mm is very good outdoors defense caliber and a great choice IF you have thoroughly tested that exact cartridge in that exact gun. You have to be absolutely sure its going to function perfectly when you need it.
Personally I don't own a 10mm because I can shoot .45 Super out my G21 w/Storm Lake extended ported barrel and a spring change. I wouldn't think twice about trusting it in the big bear woods but I also like to hedge my bets by also having a revolver. I'm not climbing mountains either so a pistol in holster and a .44 magnum revolver in chest rig would still be plenty manageable. Although since my favorite caliber is .45 Colt, I would want to carry my Bisley Blackhawk. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I'll likely never make it to that part of the country so I'm just daydreaming anyway.
As far as Chuke goes, I don't watch any of his Bigfoot stuff. I do watch his other videos and while he does prefer 10mm if you're carrying a semi auto, the gun he says he prefers to carry is a Ruger Redhawk Toklat .454 Casull. I give him a lot of credit for testing a lot of different guns and cartridge combinations. He's not an expert and he often says that in his videos. I enjoy watching him learn new things and showing others along the way. He's definitely out there on the bigfoot stuff but he's also a pretty humble guy which I appreciate. A total opposite of that slime trail leaving Yankee Marshal who I stopped following when he falsely accused Mr. Guns N Gear of stolen valor and then went into that barricaded part of Portland during the riots and declared all the people there were just peaceful people (completely ignoring those same people had rioted, burned, robbed and destroyed a large part of that city not long before his little video walk around).
Really enjoy your channel and down home advice.👏👍
Buy what you want, this is still America. You don't have to pick 1.
I agree.couldnt have said it better myself
Thank you 👍
People will always people! 😂 They ruin everything it seems. There is a great interview with an actual long standing bear guides in Alaska on Ron Spomer’s channel. He said he totes around a .357 magnum and so does his family. Look it up!😊
My carry is 10mm Short, 380acp, 9mm ....
A good ole boy from Alabama doesn't like a ''Yankee'' Marshall... Imagine that😁😁! This old Texan here, well, to me, YM embodies a whole lot about why didn't like them in the 70's and 80's when they were coming down in droves from up north.
I was just looking through U Tube to look at what interest me nothing in particular old cars,tractors and of course guns. I saw the title of your video and it caught
my attention i watched the whole thing. I was very impressed. You definitely know what you’re talking about. I watch some of the channels you mentioned and you’re absolutely correct some of those guys one week this gun and caliber is the best the next week it’s the biggest piece of 💩out there. I’ll and old revolver any day over a new plastic semi auto.
The 10mm has been down loaded by most ammo makers. I would not want to be shot by any hand gun cartridge. I carried revolvers and still do with a laser sight, but I now carry 9mm autos with a red dot sight because my eye sight on iron sights is poorer than it used to be.
44mag or 158 hard cast 357 aint to shabby in the outdoors and neither is the 45acp.
How do you feel about 10mm as a revolver load?
As for auto-loaders, all I'll say is: Murphy's Law.
It's still a free country, people should carry what you want to carry. After all it is your behind on the line. I admit I find the YM annoying, but sometimes he is right, sometimes not. At heart I am a revolver person, but due to health semi autos are just much lighter to carry. Plus add that I don't expect trouble, or go places where there might be trouble. A handgun is just like a fire extinguisher, there just in case.
YankeeMarshal is just a troll channel. He just makes ridiculous statements and takes absurd positions just to get clicks. 100% troll
I agree with your thoughts. YM does irritate me, although I find I agree with him on some things. I do disagree with him on .45 acp. As far as the other TH-camr, you failed to mention he couldn't hit the side of a barn if he was standing 5 feet in front of it, or locked in it for that matter. In bear country, I'll take my Smith 629 over my 10mm all day long. I've been shooting 10mm since the late 90s ( I like the cartridge) and while it is a good autoloader cartridge, it just doesn't do what a .44 magnum, a 45 Colt (loaded right), or a .41 mag will do. Also, a 10mm isn't a .357 magnum either. People have really made the 10mm into something mythical.
I agree with him as often as I disagree with him. I really didn't intend to bash him.
Plowboy, what I like about you and your content is that you understand real power. You don’t depend on emotions to back up your stance on a subject. You know your beans about what it takes to knockdown a powerful threat. I’ve read about hunters using autos in the back country for protection against the bad woolly buggers but for me I’d start off with a .357 mag then work my way up to a .45colt or a .44mag in bear country. Now I wouldn’t brown or griz hunt with a sidearm because I’m just not that good with one but I would definitely have my Blackhawk on me for backup. Your logic always trumps these idiot Bigfoot hunters!!!😄 You didn’t ramble, just made very good points!! Keep them coming brother! Btw, I just bought an old H&R single shot .44 mag!!! It shoots straight as a string at 50 yards with a 1.5” group iron sights. Not too bad for an old fart like me with aging eyeballs!! Thanks and always great video. 👍
ALL handgun cartridges are underpowered , ALL! that's just how it is. you want a one shot stop , use a rifle
Agreed, 100%. I didn’t like YM 20yrs ago when he was PlayboyPenguin on TFL.
Damn good video. No gun, no shooting but some good sensible opinions on handguns and handgun ammunition.
SBH 44 mag is my hunting gun.
There's so much good gun related content on TH-cam that I have no need to listen to Yankee Marshal, Whether I agree with him or not, there are too many content creators who don't annoy me.
I have 1 10mm its a ruger super redhawk 6inch barrel. It shoots 40sw and 10mm point of aim. I would tote in bear area my 41 mag ,44mag or 45colt, on my side. But I agree a good ole 12ga slug is hard to beat. I agree he is just that a Yankee. As a side note I talked to my area bigfoot and he likes to carry a 45colt.
Yankee has so many Revolvers that Id love to Have I watch him for that Mostly.
I like 9mm because they make so much of it.
I really need to stop playing around and try and get into Reloading. not necessarily because it's Cheaper. Just so I can have a more consistent Supply of Ammo.
California doesn't let us have more then 10 Rounds in a Handgun and I think having more Ammo is always better then having less. but being able to do the work that needs to be done with what you have is what's most important.
There are times when more rounds matter...and there are times when horsepower matters. One rarely replaces the other.
I saw that video and I think I commented on it. I do like 10mm have it in an 1911 platform and yes there’s a lot of misconceptions about the power of 10mm I know several people who believe it surpasses 44 magnum and they refuse to believe otherwise.
I know the type
I’m with ya on this whole rant..however I do disagree with you on when you said that “inter dimensional beings” or “Sasquatch” or whatever ppl want to call em angels, demons etc.. the reason I disagree is because that vast amount of research in the subject and credible first hand accounts of upstanding productive members of society have had.. also the research in physics and most notably (sound,frequency) studies have profoundly changed the scope of how we view reality in the scientific community.. and to truly be scientific about we must leave everything a theory to remain open to possibilities.. I will also like to leave you with this.. belief and knowledge are two different things, and WE all believe more than we know!! Whatever you believe or don’t believe is your religion, every human on earth has a belief it is inescapable!!
P.S. they exist and when I say “they” I’m simply talking about other entities that exist in a different spectrum of frequency and vibration and it seems through all the evidence and research from a multitude of different sources that they can somehow enter our spectrum and so on.. are they apes? Or aliens.. well from what I’ve researched over the years “they” “it” can change how we perceive them.. so they are whatever it is they want to appear to be to us..
Yet we don’t have a single shred of physical evidence. No skull or bone or hair….. and we still have no clear footage. Sorry bro but we need proof , not stories.
I'll shoot anything and everything, but the truth is, shot placement is key and any mechanical thing can break down.
If you are sprayin' and prayin' while holding it sideways, "Gangsa style" you wont hit much.
The only hand gun I've had that wouldnt run was a wheel gun. every few shots it was impossible to turn the cylinder unless you opened it and closed it again. (Ruger's factory service is fantastic, by the way.)
The main issues that need addressing when enjoying the Great Land are Moose and Bears. Those are handgun worthy opponents up here because you will encounter these close up, like when your enjoying a nice walk through nature and they just happen to cross the path ahead of you and get startled or offended by your presence. The Sasquatch up here are very aware of you - way more than you could ever be of them and they will purposely distance themselves from you. They would require some distance marksmanship skill with an adequate high power rifle caliber IF someone was so inclined to take a shot at a creature that eerily resembles a person. I would never shoot at one because even though my mind understands that no human in a costume would be in the areas where these sightings occur at the times they've occurred, there's always that nagging possibiliity that it is a person cleverly trying to outsmart and hoax you, even say 4 days or 5 days hike back in the most remote and horribly strenuous places to get to where only the trophy mammals of Alaska are supposed to reside. Why would someone who is already 7 foot tall or more pack in cumbersome ghillie suit at near freezing temps when ultra-lite gear and camp pack would be essential especially if you were expecting to haul any meat out with you? But you'll notice the nagging persists. Then you think as they wander off at quarter shoulder away from you, how does one even go about harvesting and processing something so closely related to our species without some Jeffery Dahmer instincts? When you see them these thoughts pervade, and then you realize the short barrel 44 Mag revolver in your chest holster is not going to ever be able to reach that far anyway, say the distance of 2 mountain saddles away from you, or a half dozen power pole distances away on a huge straight neverending utility right of way cut through the wilderness where each set of 80 foot tall poles are set 250 yards apart. This is where they'll let you see them - but make no mistake they know exactly where you are at all times. They don't have to hunt for you. If they ever get close enough to let you smell them, by the time you catch a whiff they have already backed out far enough to just observe your reaction from a safe distance.
So the 44 Mag is the ideal side arm for Moose and Bear in AK, moose being the most dangerous, most deadly and most prolific encounters you're apt to have where distances are way too close for comfort. Otherwise enjoy the best the Great Land has to offer and please leave our hairy bipedal friends alone. Thanks.
I think Jeff Cooper’s Bren 10 lasted two seasons on Miami Vice, prop people complained of functionality problems, I don’t think the pistol lasted much longer this was the start of the hype around 10 mm it was the shiny object for awhile, it’s worked a lot better in other platforms. My main carry is a Colt Commander in .45 ACP, I carried a 1911 in the Marines it served me well. A personal preference though, not the last word in anything. Keep the videos coming, excellent conversation all around.ARP my ass.🤣😎⚓️
All great points haus. I love my .45 AARPs LOL. My first handgun in 1990 was a Colt Goldcup. I was 18, strawman purchase. Still my fav pistol (1911s in general that is). I agree, Yankee is just a tool. I occasionally watch a vid if it's a subject I'm morbidly curious about, but by and large I just right him off as a tool that likes to make click bait videos. His grandma raised him, what can you say? haha.
