I love that you point out every round fired hits somewhere. People think about that in public but don't think about it in their homes as much. If you live in a typical home in the city most handgun rounds have the potential to get inside your neighbors house. It depends on how many walls,materials etc. Many homes nowadays just have drywall, insulation & thin ply with a covering. That's not a lot & going out of your house & into the neighbors is a real possibility. Apartments it's even more risk.
I think going on average number of shots fired in a defensive situation is a little misleading. In most of those the perp runs away & few shots are fired. If they stay & fight or if they are determined to go after you specifically (granted that's rare) the rounds start flying & capacity is important. It isn't uncommon to have 10+ rounds fired in those situations. There are exceptions to every situation but just wanted to point out going on averages for defensive shootings can be misleading.
I still like the traditional Colt .45 ACP M1911, just 8 rounds but chambered in .45 ACP (I don't remember if that is supposed to be capitalized) one stop shot, and I don't think I am going to fight off more than 5 men (I am allowing for stutter shots). I actually like how the basic rule of thumb is if you shoot center mass at an attacker and they get back up, aim for the head, they are either wearing body armor or a zombie, either way, one .45 round to the head, they will not get back up.
i think revolvers capacity are fine for basic self defence, as long as its a 38 spl or better. however if i needed an offencive handgun i would want a semi auto that holds at least 15 rounds
@redhotchilininja the .38 spl meets the 12" of penetration requirement to reach all vital organs at all angels of entry set by the FBI. foot pounds of energy is secondary to penetration. belive me a .38 will take anyone down, it all comes down to shot placment, hell you could take out a coked out line backer with a .22 if you know what your doing. with that being said i too prefer the .357, actually i like 41 the most when it comes to revolvers
aws table van. esp ( mod 66 ,357 ) bute ! Q... have u any opions on ww2 weapons, and do u own any apart from yr m1 carb. maybe ya could do a vid sme tme .....
have you ever had to fire any of those guns? i guess i've been reading too much and i read that in any shooting, your firearm is confiscated for some time...is that true? i've had to resort to loading my 1911 instead of my hk45 just because i would hate to have to hand it over to law enforcement and have it mistreated.
@FUdirtbag No, I've never had to fire my gun in a self defense situation. I'm not a lawyer either, but I would imagine that if law enforcement shows up; they will collect any firearms on the scene for their safety. I would also think that they would keep any firearm that was used, untill they decide whether or not charges of a crime will be served. I'm not sure of LEO procedures, so maybe you should ask brotherskeeper111, he is a LEO.
@GunznGear Thanks, I was able to find his channel and have already sent him some what if questions. It'll definetly put some parts of my mind at ease to see it from an officers perspective. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video Van. I greatly appreciate your comment 'that every bullet fired has a lawyer attached to it".Gun owners need to realize that even carrying a full capacity weapon has legal conseqences. Massad Ayoob has several good videos on You Tube explaining the legal ramifications of firing , even a single round, in a public area.
@1278dave I've learned a great deal concerning legal consequences from Ayoob. I really enjoy his articles where he presents actual cases and how they were litigated. Thanks
@GunznGear....Good video. I can't speak for all californians but I would say it's pretty safe to say none of us good off capacity when thinking about carrying a gun for self denfense as we can't get more then 10 rounds unfortnately lol. From handguns to rifles we don't get more then 10 so I know for me it falls to what's reliable and what's easy to use which is why I'm buying a glock 26
I have been shot at fishing at nigfht before. Had no weapon and just had to hide for hours till I got up the balls to get back to my truck. There is no way to explain the feeling of being attacked for no reason. I made it due to the fact the shooter was on a bridge way up above me. But he was able to reload and fire again before he left. The only direction I had to go was into S.F. bay in the middle of december at midnight. I would have drowned. There are places and times you need a gun.
I think most people take some security from large capacity guns. I have carried the 1911 with 7 rounds for years. As a cowboy shooter I've used the comfortable 45 long colt in both revolver and rifle. Granted, 6 shots won't save you from 10 people but more than half will have ruined days too. The point you made on being good with the gun, trusting it, is the best advantage there can be.
@alienbanjopicker I know some folks that are very capable with a single action Colt! I guess I've either carried a 1911 or a 6 shot 357mag revolver more than everything else combined, and I've never felt under gunned. Thanks
@GunznGear The only time I ever felt under gunned was during a competition, an old cylinder split. Cold day. hot rounds about 60 rounds fired and pop. I ended up using an unfamiliar gun took third in the over all. In all honesty I only own 4 hand guns. 3 of the four are single action revolvers and all 45 LC. Then I have the 1911. I've shot and owned others but there comes a time when comfort matters.Use what you have and use it well.
I can't recall if you mentioned this, but high capacity is also very handy when you need to set up suppressive fire to allow you to move among cover positions or to escape. Not spray-n-pray, but true suppressive fire against an enemy behind cover. As an aside, after carrying my Glock 20 for a while, I always feel kind of light (undergunned) when I'm carrying anything less. I guess power is addictive. ;)
@PowerForGood It would be very rare indeed if military tactics such as suppressive fire could be deployed responsibly in a self defense situation. I really like the G20, it makes an excellent platform fo the 10mm.
@GunznGear Yes of course, you are probably right; especially for city folks. I live way out in the country and part of my love for the 10mm is its ability to shoot flat at distance and also to penetrate large hunt-back animals like bears, surprised elk and moose, etc.
It is such a light gun for the firepower it possesses too. Truth be told, I'd rather have my Redhawk if something big surprised me, but it is one heck of a boat anchor to carry. Anyway, great video as usual. Thanks.
@mba2ceo Nothing to "admit" I've been enjoying shooting and collecting firearms most of my life. It's my choice, and that's all there is to it. I don't have to admit or explain anything to you or anyone else!!
@mba2ceo Yes I do, and apparently better than you. I refuse to be positioned to the point where I have to or need to explain why I own guns. I need not a reason other than freedom of choice. The connotation associated w/ the word admit suggests is negative or controversial position. You do not admit innocence.
@mba2ceo Hahaha good for you!! I choose to be a freedom loving American, who has taken the responsibility for my own welfare. I choose not to sit idle and helplessly by, while others would harm my family and loved ones. I "admit" that I am strong and determined not to be victimized, while some have to depend on others for their security.
@mba2ceo No, I never have been. That word is often used by weak minded people, who live in fear. I do not live in fear. I believe in being responsible and prepared. I also have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, and that's not "paranoid" that's being responsible and prepared.
great vid! I agree 100%. I currently carry a full size m&p 9mm and i love it. but I am looking forward to the XDS coming out. up the caliber and drop the capacity.
@jwgbmp40 My wife knew what she was getting into from the begining, she has become a gun lover herself. Yeah, that's an old saying that applies today as much as it did yrs back. Thanks
That USP Expert .40 is such a great gun. Easily my personal favorite handgun. The only way they could have made it better is if it had a 10mm option. The 10mm is just like the .41 mag; it just didn't quite catch on to the general public like I had hoped.
a lot of people dont realize that 9mm 124gr +P ammo has considerably more ft lbs of energy than standard .45 acp fmj. granted thats comparing a self defense round to ball ammo, but a lot of people carry standard ball ammo in their 1911's. theres no doubt you can get a lot more ft lbs with a good self defense loading for .45 acp, but the point im trying to make is that the 9mm with proper ammo is plenty sufficient. the problems with the 9mm we all hear about are usually from the FMJ rounds.
@1cme1 It's my understanding, that Gold Dot 124gr +P 9mm is very popular w/ police departments. 9mm -vs- 45acp is a whole different debate, but I get your point. Thanks
I used to carry a XDM-9 with 19+1....after lugging it around I decided to move down to a smaller gun. I had a PPS9 and it was an excellent gun, but I started thinking about capacity again. So I sold it in hopes of getting a XDMc9. I ended up with a S&W BG .38....5 shots yes, but I don't plan on facing big groups. I love it and carry it everyday and everywhere that I can legally. I lean more to revolvers now, simple to operate. In the future I'd like to get a S&W 386 or 327 Night Guard.
Couldn't agree more. Every one thinks they need a 15+ rd gun and the worlds best sights on their carry guns. When in fact the guns are more capable out of the box then the person using it will ever be. For me its a stock! HK45 fullsize
i thought the Glock 21 with the Kriss Super V's 30 round mag was crazy, then you come along with the 10mm with 36 rounds, Jeez man, you might as well go with a 100 rd 9mm Beta-mag
Absolutely agree Van! That is the way we've got to think about self defense, shooting should be the last thing we want to do, it may have serious repercussions!
You see, the load chosen is just as important as the caliber, and especially in the lower calibers.
The bigger caliber with the heavier bullet simply does the same work easier. When you drop caliber, the smaller cartridge must be pushed harder to make up for the difference in weight.
Well done and well said...it's not the gun in my opinion, it's how well the person holding it is trained. Single shot or mini gun, gotta know what you're doing first. Don't know what you're doing, the gun is just a paperweight that is gonna bite you in the end.
I think the moral of the story is to always have a firearm and to train with that firearm. IMHO it's more important to at least be armed than it is about capacity. For example I have a Bond Arms Derringer that I use as a backup gun. However, I have carried it alot as a primary and feel very confident that it would get the job done. Two rounds of .410 ooo buck is nothing to sneeze at - especially in tight quarters (20 feet or less). Anything further than that then I would wish I had another gun.
@BSRadar100 Much of the discussions over defensive firearms is personal preference. If you have confidence and competence you will be prepared. Thanks
@GunznGear BTW - sweet collection. I especially like your Colt Delta Elite and the H&K P30. Great stuff man - really enjoyed your video. As far as derringers - the only one I would trust to carry is the Bond Arms - it's a tank and very reliable. But if shtf I would really wish I had my Colt Commander. Just sayin.
@BSRadar100 Derringers have really come a long way in recent years, and Bond Arms has led the way. I agree w/ you, if the poop hits the fan, I would want a 1911 too.
I tell you what man, I've looked at a ton of firearm videos here on YouTube, and I have say that was one of the best I've seen. People who are getting a cwp should watch your video before considering what they will carry. Great job!
A bucket full of bullets... Sounds like a spaghetti Western title...LOL...Good Stuff Bro and very good subject. I agree with masterprepper as much as you feel you need....
There will be an infinate number of opinions on calibre, capacity, style, weight etc which I feel are mostly subjective. After seeing armed senario testing which aimed to understand CCW holders real responses to a situation requiring deadly force - it is my opinion that the more important issue is in-depth senario training, weapon familiarity and practice. I would be satisfied with someone carrying a 8 shot 9mm defending my life if they could respond to armed situations with competence.
Nice quick overview of a whole basket of guns. Since I'm limited to 10 rounds of anything here, capacity can't be a factor .. I've had resort to weekly trips to the range and thousands and thousands of rounds to try to get most shots reasonably close to where I want them to go! Poor Me! LOL
When think about gun to CCW I have consider because of my what is both safe comfortable to carry I mainly stick with revolvers because simplicity and reliability. Both the 38 special an and S&W 9MM compact would be great because they are small an compact. I have high capacity handguns but I've never found a really comfortable way to carry them.
Why are u a big fan of the 10mm? Just curious

@1cme1 It's my understanding, that Gold Dot 124gr +P 9mm is very popular w/ police departments. 9mm -vs- 45acp is a whole different debate, but I get your point. Thanks

I used to carry a XDM-9 with 19+1....after lugging it around I decided to move down to a smaller gun. I had a PPS9 and it was an excellent gun, but I started thinking about capacity again. So I sold it in hopes of getting a XDMc9. I ended up with a S&W BG .38....5 shots yes, but I don't plan on facing big groups. I love it and carry it everyday and everywhere that I can legally. I lean more to revolvers now, simple to operate. In the future I'd like to get a S&W 386 or 327 Night Guard.

Couldn't agree more. Every one thinks they need a 15+ rd gun and the worlds best sights on their carry guns. When in fact the guns are more capable out of the box then the person using it will ever be. For me its a stock! HK45 fullsize

i thought the Glock 21 with the Kriss Super V's 30 round mag was crazy, then you come along with the 10mm with 36 rounds, Jeez man, you might as well go with a 100 rd 9mm Beta-mag

You see, the load chosen is just as important as the caliber, and especially in the lower calibers.
The bigger caliber with the heavier bullet simply does the same work easier. When you drop caliber, the smaller cartridge must be pushed harder to make up for the difference in weight.

Well done and well said...it's not the gun in my opinion, it's how well the person holding it is trained. Single shot or mini gun, gotta know what you're doing first. Don't know what you're doing, the gun is just a paperweight that is gonna bite you in the end.

I think the moral of the story is to always have a firearm and to train with that firearm. IMHO it's more important to at least be armed than it is about capacity. For example I have a Bond Arms Derringer that I use as a backup gun. However, I have carried it alot as a primary and feel very confident that it would get the job done. Two rounds of .410 ooo buck is nothing to sneeze at - especially in tight quarters (20 feet or less). Anything further than that then I would wish I had another gun.

@GunznGear BTW - sweet collection. I especially like your Colt Delta Elite and the H&K P30. Great stuff man - really enjoyed your video. As far as derringers - the only one I would trust to carry is the Bond Arms - it's a tank and very reliable. But if shtf I would really wish I had my Colt Commander. Just sayin.
BSRadar100 1 month ago
@BSRadar100 Derringers have really come a long way in recent years, and Bond Arms has led the way. I agree w/ you, if the poop hits the fan, I would want a 1911 too.

I tell you what man, I've looked at a ton of firearm videos here on YouTube, and I have say that was one of the best I've seen. People who are getting a cwp should watch your video before considering what they will carry. Great job!

There will be an infinate number of opinions on calibre, capacity, style, weight etc which I feel are mostly subjective. After seeing armed senario testing which aimed to understand CCW holders real responses to a situation requiring deadly force - it is my opinion that the more important issue is in-depth senario training, weapon familiarity and practice. I would be satisfied with someone carrying a 8 shot 9mm defending my life if they could respond to armed situations with competence.

Nice quick overview of a whole basket of guns. Since I'm limited to 10 rounds of anything here, capacity can't be a factor .. I've had resort to weekly trips to the range and thousands and thousands of rounds to try to get most shots reasonably close to where I want them to go! Poor Me! LOL

When think about gun to CCW I have consider because of my what is both safe comfortable to carry I mainly stick with revolvers because simplicity and reliability. Both the 38 special an and S&W 9MM compact would be great because they are small an compact. I have high capacity handguns but I've never found a really comfortable way to carry them.
