    Personally, I carry a revolver, because that thing fires whatever rounds I put into its cylinder, be it FMJs, JHPs, Lead Flat-Nosed rounds, JSPs, Hard Cast rounds, Hydra-Shok JSPs, Xtreme Penetrators, you name it. It just isn't finicky on ammo, unlike some semi-autos and her Glock 42. Revolvers have way less ammo capacity, I know, but I don't go out and expect the army to come after me.

    I've loved Galco holsters for so long that my first one was actually a Jackass (before it was renamed Galco). However, they've priced themselves out of my budget. There are other brands I like just as well for about half the price. They're good but they're not *that* good. It's a shame.

    It doesn't surprise me that she carries a G42 and an Shield 9. because for the most part, the guns you see clerks wearing at the gun stores are not the guns that they actually carry. The guns that they're wearing at the gun stores tend to be bigger, They're wearing them as a deterrent for people who would wanna come in there and try something. And also to show off what big firearms they have. And it's also refreshing to hear someone have the courage to say, All Glocks don't run like clockwork. as a Glock owner, I know that to be true myself

      I carry a full-size gun in my shop because I can outside carry there and do so comfortably, as well as serve as a potential deterrent. For EDC it’s a sub-compact that I train with and can comfortably conceal. Micros are too small for my hands. At the end of the day, it’s exactly what I tell my customers - whatever you carry, you need to know it will work for you.

      I've not owned the Glock 42, 36, or 29, but from what I understand those models don't quite carry the reputation of reliability that Glock normally has.
      But yes, Glocks jam. I question the honesty of people who say they've had their Glock for years and have several thousand rounds through it without a jam. Not saying it can't happen, but it's gotta be rarer than what the internet would have us believe.

    Maggie's personality is great, and makes her videos just as much fun as they are informative and interesting. As for her personal pistol selection. . . may I suggest a Sig P365 to replace her Glock? My experience is that a gun that requires the pointy Hornady round to be reliable (a new Kahr that hasn't been broken in yet, for example) is still going to be fussy later in life. Personally, I prefer 1911s over just about everything. What about the Dan Wesson ECO? Very nice piece and my go-to choice for hot weather under a T-shirt. In the Commander size, the Dan Wesson Valor Commander is excellent, especially when upgraded with an RMR. For a full-size Government model for a duty gun, the Springfield Professional in 45 is as good as it gets.

    Gotta agree with Maggie about the G42. Most ammo picky of any of the dozen plus semis I own, including 22s. Getting better after about 250 rounds, but only FMJ, 95 grains. Won’t waste (more) money even trying HPs, will never use for personal defense… have a CZ75 compact, 100% reliable, for that.

    My local gun store knows about the guns I miss... The owner called me up one day about a Colt Anaconda that had a scope on it. He started to describe it and I stopped him. I told him about a gouge in the finish and he confirmed it... That was my very first store bought gun! It traveled around the globe with me in the early 90's. I pawned it in 1994 because I needed gas and grocery money. When I came back for it, the pawn shop had sold it before the due date! How it ended up in Texas, I will never know but it's right here in my home town and I'm the only one with the option to buy it... problem is I'm still too broke to buy it again!

      @ArnoldBraunswagger 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @stevenmorris2293 To the best of my knowledge and memory the 9mm's bullet diameter can be .355, .356 or .357 . I think the average is .356 in diameter. I think the bullet diameter of the 38super is. 355 or .357 ( not too sure anymore, memory ). The 38super has a slightly longer case , a flatter trajectory and more power. But,with the advent of more powerful powders the 38super may have lost that advantage over the 9mm which has a shorter case lending possibly to a smaller gripped weapon.

    If I was behind the counter in my store I want a CCW permit. I like the Mk.2 Thunderstruck. 2 rounds of .22WRM is enough to stop any assailant in the store without significant risk to outsiders.. I'm told to avoid the Mk1 as its shorter barrels could cause the bullet to fail to stabilise and tumble. That might be limited to certain brands of ammo. Any experts reading this please educate me/us.

      That's the caliber that failed the FBI agents during a shootout with 2 criminals suspected of committing violent crimes around the Miami area back in 1986. Nothing against the 9mm. I think today's 9mm loads are way more effective than the 9mm loads of yesteryear, but there are instances wherein several 9mm rounds were fired and it failed to stop the attacker(s).

    • @geofftimm2291
      @geofftimm2291 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      History of the 9mm or .35 caliber handgun round.
      At the end of the 19th Century, the Great John M. Browning, designed the first powerful semi-automatic pistols. Caliber designations were invented by the British, and then the advertising department took over. Despite the bullet size being .356 inch, or 9mm, it was called the .38 Automatic Colt Pistol, because Colts paid the bills, and the fixed cartridge versions, infinite versions, of the paper cartridges of the .36 “Navy” Colt percussion revolver, had been called “38 Caliber.” After much experimentation with the Colt automatic pistols of the day, the ballistics were roughly; a 130 gr jacketed bullet, at 1,175 fps, giving 398 foot pounds of energy. In European specifications this round was called 9x23SR.
      Over in Europe, they preferred less energetic rounds, firing low velocity light weight bullets around 9mm and zippy .30 caliber or 7.65 rounds at high or low velocity. The Kaiser’s German Army was looking at an assortment of semi-auto pistols to replace their ancient revolver. They loved the complex engineering of the Luger Pistol, with it’s watch-like fitting and fancy toggle action, so like the beloved Maxim machine gun. Then they looked over at the US of A, gasped and demanded the .30 Luger round be enlarged. The company, not wanting to spend an unnecessary Mark, just opened the case neck as much as possible, and the 9x19mm Luger round was born! Essentially, a shorter version of the 38 ACP with a lighter loading for effete Euro semi-males. The 9mm was originally loaded with a 124 gr jacketed bullet, at 1100 fps, giving 333 foot pounds.
      Meanwhile, back on the good side of the Atlantic, the US Army decided they needed a much bigger pistol round, because in the US of A, bigger is always better, and the .45 ACP was standardized.
      Colt’s, having spent much money on advertising .38 caliber handguns, and given the robust 1911 pistol, decided to expand the market and souped up the .38 ACP with more velocity, and called it the .38 Super Colt Automatic Pistol, and their marketing department sold a lot. The Super was the same as the .38 ACP, but with more velocity, a 130 gr jacketed bullet at 1280 fps for 473 foot pounds of energy.

    I am surprised a Glock do not like FMJ, it started life as a military gun. Are you trying to catch us not paying attention Maggi, 9mm, 357, 38 is the same cleaning kit. I am in Canada and not free to buy what I want, but if I am in US as I get older, my preference would be something like Smith or PMR 30, 22 WMR, or at least a high capacity 22 LR. Sacrificing some stopping power of a large bore round , like 45 ACP. The WMR is the same energy as some center fire rifles, but is statistically less reliable because it is rim fired. But if you are the mugger and I am pointing something 22 WMR at you, will you consider playing the statistics??

      @@farmerbob7585 Figured I would get the wife a ruger lc380. I did. It sucked to small of a grip. And a country mile trigger pull. She was not comfortable with it and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 0ft. She hated it. Didnt want to shoot it. Tried moving her into 9mm but hurt her wrist when shooting. So started looking for 380 options. All other 380s seemed the same. Then came across the browning black label. Didnt like the price, and neither did she. Said she didn't want to spend that much on a pistol. Went and looked at one. She was very happy with the weight of it. ( very light) but doesn't act like it in the recoil. As soon as she put it in her hand she was in love. Walked out 20 minutes later, with a black label medallion pro and about 900 lighter in pocket book. Didnt even make it home. Had to go shoot it first. She was in love. And could hit something with it. That was 6 years ago and haven't looked back. Our daughter liked it so much bought one for her on her 21rst bday. Go look at one great gun, light and can hide almost anywhere. Basic model can be had for around 600.

      A gun is just a tool to accomplish a purpose - to be safe & secure and to stay safe & secure
      This emotional "I love my guns so much" crap from so many Americans is phony as hell
      If you're unlucky you might need your gun once in 15 yrs to save yourself from danger
      I'm in my late 50s grew up in a large Southern City that has a perception of high crime and I have never needed a Gun so far
      So when I hear all these people claiming to "just looooove their gun" - then either they are lying OR they are phonies wanting to grab hold to the latest cult fad in the USA
      Only idiot gun freaks claim to love their gun, master mechanics don't claim to love their socket sets, landscapers don't claim to love their favorite mower - WHY, because they are just tools you use to assist with a task
      That's all a gun is - a tool to assist in accomplishing a task!

      The easier to get and more affordable model is the Ruger Super Blackhawk.
      If you feel fancy, there's the Magnum Research BFR (big f***ing revolver).
      I do have the Super Blackhawk in 44 mag in stainless with the smooth cylinder. It's really great and handles recoil like a boss. If you're going to shoot it a lot or in dangerous situations like bears, then you might want a modern grip instead of the normal cowboy wood grips.
      Cheers.

    I have worked at several gun shops and did gun shows for decades, having the butt of your loaded gun pointing toward the customer is a bad idea. Everyone can tell you're right handed, so they could grab your right hand then the gun and it's over. Having a leather strap around your upper body could give an attacker more control if needed. Not a big deal, but you need to worry more about your safety rather than making a fashion statement. This is about keeping you safe, not upsetting you.

    Maggie, the "bastard" caliber for the 1911 style would be 10 mm Mag, and that is one truly expensive caliber to even reload. Here in Canada the brass alone was getting up to $1 a round, which is why I sold mine. But it sure did reach out with authority, grin.

      Yup - the 1911 long-slide would easily drop the 100 yard Rams on the silhouette range. But I purely hated losing brass outdoors, especially after I got laid-off at 58 and had to cut back on expenses. I'm back to the old .357 Mag as a versatile and affordable tool at the range. @@glock271

    It would seem to me that working in a gun store you might want to be able to draw your weapon quickly, in which case a person would want a holster on your hip at the four O'clock position. I have quality shoulder holsters for many of my guns and you do not draw fast from a shoulder holster, especially a Miami Vice style holster that isn't tied down at the belt.

    • @chrispalmerdemo

    • @jackmarks2176
      @jackmarks2176 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      What's up, well I can draw much faster from my vertical holsters than the horizontal because it's strapped down and I don't have a thumb snap to deal with. But in the time it takes to reach across my chest and grasp the gun I have already drawn the hip holster. I will say that the intimidation factor of someone behind the counter with said shoulder holster is far greater than tiny hip holster. haha Winter I always sport a shoulder rig, otherwise couldn't find gun in 10 degree weather. take care.@@chrispalmerdemo

Excellent sub compact pistol, no problems or flaws. ✔️ I had 1 flub with the 9mm Shield but it was as I had a improper grip, shot the 9mm without holding it correctly. The Shield fed, cycle JHPs, ball with no problems.
