CCW Guns: Vid Entry For ebomey's Contest

[gunnutzhunter]

I love the comment you made about a gun not being comfortable but comforting and Clint smith also said if you decide to carry a gun every day it's not only going to require a change in attitude but also a change in lifestyle and I live my life by those two quotes. Amazing informative video be safe and god bless.

[GunznGear]

@gunnutzhunter I appreciate your comment! Thanks

[000bountyagent000]

[GunznGear]

@000bountyagent000 Thanks!!

[wheelchairmaster21]

Just curious do carry a firearm when u r say having a relaxing day at the house an not planning on going anywhere

[GunznGear]

@wheelchairmaster21 Over the years, carrying a firearm has become a daily habit. I do carry my CCW handgun around the house.

[Music15Love]

yeah you carry a 25+ lb gun around town with you?

[GunznGear]

@Music15Love What???

[topo2407]

hey looking for a tip from you man... im real skinny and if i strap a 1911 for my ccw ill stand out ... the biggest ive caryed was a g26 but usualy just a naa 22 mag revolver or a ruger 380... so should i carry big to?

[GunznGear]

@topo2407 Every body is different. I've been thin most of my life, but I'm 6'7" so concealment has never been much of an issue. There are many small guns that we have to choose from, that still bring a major caliber to bear. Guns such as Walther PPS, Kahr, KelTec, Ruger and 1911's offer thin sub-compact handguns that are very concealable. seek out some of these in gunshops to see if you like them. Many ranges have guns for rent, check and see if some of the guns you like are available to shoot.

[paulakapdub]

bullet placement is far more important than how big your bullet is.

[GunznGear]

@paulakapdub Bullet placement is paramount, so is ammo selection, so is chambering... What's your point? I never said otherwise.

[Redrobbin1911]

Lmao when you pulled out the thompson

[GunznGear]

@Redrobbin1911 Doesn't everybody conceal one of those? LOL

[e1ghtys1x]

Nah I prefer my AA-12 for concealed carry. Those muggers never knew what hit em ;).

[GunznGear]

@e1ghtys1x Nothing like a full auto shotgun!!!

[satchboogyfan]

You don't see gun racks in pickups anymore

Can you imagine seeing that Tommy in the rear window of a truck at the stop light

Chicago type writer

[GunznGear]

@satchboogyfan That would be excellent!!!

[tbbonham]

What type of lock box do you have in your car. I have a job were I can't carry and I would love to be able to lock it in my car v.s leaving it under the seat.

[GunznGear]

@tbbonham I use Gun Vault lock box. My job is the same, and you have to get approved to even store a unloaded firearm in your locked vehicle.

[JagseerViper202]

sorry when the bullets start flying iwould pull out the 300 drum Ak-47

[GunznGear]

@JagseerViper202 Good choice! I didn't even know they made a 300rd drum for an AK. Thanks

[JagseerViper202]

@GunznGear Oh ya the do you should type that in youtube they a awsome

[bobiscool308]

do you know where i can find an inside the waistband holster for that thompson

[GunznGear]

@bobiscool308 LOL That would be hard to conceal, especially with the drum magazine!! LOL Thanks

[bobiscool308]

@GunznGear yea it would. lol

[ixVENGEFULxi]

good luck to ya brotherman

[GunznGear]

@ixVENGEFULxi Thanks Bro!!

[nukeshooter]

Why can't I find a Kydex holster for the Thompson? Yuk yuk! By the way...your friend was going to order his S&W MP when he got home today.

[GunznGear]

@nukeshooter Haha, you don't need a Thompson, you have a SCAR with a folding stock!!! Glad to hear our friend is going to buy a M&P!!

[nicker3290]

Beautiful Kimber, and great opinions as always. I honestly think all those nicks and scratches give the gun more character. That "old warhorse" appearance is something that is very special and is hard to duplicate. Much like a worn in set of jeans.

[GunznGear]

@nicker3290 I agree, the wear and dings are just evidence that I've used and enjoyed the firearm. Thanks

[josephd27]

nice u got a thompson. now u have gave me another idea for conceal carry. thanks

[GunznGear]

@josephd27 It's all about the fire power!! LOL Thanks

[FireArmsResQ]

Great video as always man!

I like how you break things down discussing the tradeoffs of carrying big VS small.

As always you dont dissapoint with the hardware! Just remember when you conceal carry a Tommy Gun you have to be well dressed! Thats a rule!

[josephd27]

@FireArmsResQ yup a nice suit and tie

[GunznGear]

@FireArmsResQ Thanks buddy, I always appreciate your comments.

I have to wear a suit?? Crap, I hate suits!!! LMAO

[FireArmsResQ]

@GunznGear

Haha

Well wearing a suit wont be as bad if you're packing a Tommy Gun. You're just going to look like a badass!

[frodo70444]

@GunznGear a suit in your town? oh i can se eit now ay der city slicker feller what can we hep u with

[GunznGear]

@frodo70444 Haha you ain't kidding there!

[bitpri05]

In reference to the north american arms 380 holster - Is this intended to be fired holstered? Would the slide come into contact with the holster? Sorry if this is a stupid or obvious question 

[GunznGear]

@bitpri05 The holster is designed to fit only around the frame, and the slide is therefore free to cycle. I've had the holster for about 4 or 5 yrs and when I shoot the NAA, I leave it in that holster. So far, I haven't had any issues.

[GunznGear]

@jimkressin Thanks, you folks need to get busy and work on them laws! Almost bought a "violin case" type Tommy gun case once, but man they were expensive! Thanks

[SirLingPing]

Enjoyed this. Thanks. I'm a PPS owner myself and its my EDC gun. Very happy with it. Keep up the entertaining vids.

[GunznGear]

@SirLingPing Thanks, I love my PPS too!

[Berlindagem]

Very well said. 5 stars vid!!!

[GunznGear]

@Berlindagem Thank you!

[mrcaptain93]

Love that HK, and the Walther is pretty sweet. Think you'll do a few shoot videos with them?

[GunznGear]

@mrcaptain93 I hope to soon. Thanks

[TheEnglishRedneck45]

If you can conceal a firearm, with a CCW permit, can you carry any firearm you so wish? So that Thompson for example, if you could find a way of successfully concealing it, is that still game?

[Jakerem870tac]

@TheEnglishRedneck45 depends on the state, some yes and some no

[GunznGear]

@TheEnglishRedneck45 Not here in VA. we have a permit to carry a handgun concealed. We do have efforts tochange the permit to "concealed weapons", but so far we have failed.

[TheJmac1983]

nice handguns and that tommy is BAD ASS great vid Van

[GunznGear]

@TheJmac1983 Thanks Bro, gotta love the Tommy!!!

[SnakeStrike77]

Great vid! Best of luck!

[GunznGear]

@SnakeStrike77 Thanks, same to you!!

[pjicleanair420]

nice p30

[GunznGear]

@pjicleanair420 It's a great gun!

[TheGoodOlBoyzChannel]

nice collection

[GunznGear]

@TheGoodOlBoyzChannel Thanks!

[DemonHide]

I like that pocket holster you got for the NAA .380! Looks like it's designed so you can shoot with it that way. I'd be interested in one if I go the .380 route (which up until recently was a sure thing). Great vid, man. The Thompson will end all discussions, anytime, anywhere! Good luck!

[GunznGear]

@DemonHide The BATF changed some rules in respect to "wallet holsters" and this holster was one of the designs that resulted from that rule change. I like that it breaks up the outline of the gun and positions it in the pocket for retreval.

Gotta love the Tommy Gun!! Thanks Bro!!

[Snicke22]

+++++

[gunporn68]

Oh, yeah, "Chicago typewriter". Doesn't everyone have one? Holy crap. That was about awesome.

[GunznGear]

@gunporn68 LOL Thanks!! Nothing settles an arguement like a Tommy Gun!!! LOL

[biguy525]

Where I live, you can't loan a handgun to anybody. The only way you can is if the guy you are loaning a handgun to is a FFL holder.

[GunznGear]

@biguy525 Man, that kinda sucks! Ya'll need to work on that!!! Thanks

[fisherdigital]

nice vid. its nice to hear someone that thinks as i do. you hear guys on here that say "i CC this (some small gun) and i forget its there". i dont want to forget its there i want it to be on the front of my mind.if you "forget its there" then your not ready if something goes down.

[GunznGear]

@fisherdigital I guess it's what your used to. I thought the Ruger SP101 357mag w/ a 3" barrel was really light and handy when I bought it. LOL and it was compared to the 1911 and L frame Smith that I was carrying.

[GARYMANDIEVAN]

Nice collection of carry guns love that Kimber,great video

[GunznGear]

@GARYMANDIEVAN Thanks Bro! You've got some great CCW guns too!!

[ebomey]

...continued!

Nice H&K! ...short list gun!

I really like your Kimber! Very sweet looking with the extended mag well.

Don't be surprised if I show up at your door needing a new Daddy! LMAO!

Before my divorce, both my carry guns where 1911's. One was the Kimber Tactical Pro and the other was the Kimber CDP Ultra.

.......The Thompson? What, not the Beowulf 50 cal!

Thanks again, you are one the the best guys in the gun community and I am so glad to call you my friend!

Good Luck and you are In!

[GunznGear]

@ebomey The P30 is an awesome gun! I bet you'll really love it!

That Kimber was an expensive 1911, A buddy ordered one at the same time. He shakes his head because I shoot and carry mine, but I tell him: you don't know what you're missing, these guns shoot great!

I don't know Bro, both of my kids are out of the house... it's kinda nice!

I've only owned Gov. model 1911's, do you like the smaller versions?

If they ever make a drum for the 50Beowulf...

Thanks for the kind words Bro!!!

[ebomey]

@GunznGear

I really like the weight of the Raptor! It carries the same if not better then the EAA!

As for smaller 1911's. The Tactical shoots well and I have not had a problem with the CDP Ultra, but I still feel more in control over the Full sized models. You really said a lot of great things in you Video!

Like you, I am also NOT concerned that it only has 8 rounds.

Some day I would love to get together with a bunch you YT gun guys and talk and shoot!

My Holly Grail Gun is the Thompson!

[GunznGear]

@ebomey I've been thinking of getting a Commander sized 1911, but still haven't made up my mind.

It would be great to have a YT gathering!!!

My holy grail gun is a Les Baer 1911 (Government Model of course)

*Knuckle Bump*

[ebomey]

@GunznGear I almost bought one last week, but over all it is almost the same size as the full...one inch.

I will get one again, it is just hard right now! First I had the divorce and now I make good money...when I am not laid off! (Sad Face)

I received a great tax refund this year and planned on getting a Kimber Super Carry Pro and the Walther PPS 40cal. The day before the money arrived I was laid off......Now the refund is going to cover lost wages. At least I have it!

[GunznGear]

@ebomey These are difficult times for many, I hope your situation improves very soon Bro! I'll keep you in my prayers!!!

[ebomey]

@GunznGear Thanks Van!

I know I will be OK!

It's called Karma and I do a lot of good things.

Thanks again my friend!

[ebomey]

Thanks for entering!

First off, the Raptor is one of my older pistols, It has been a safe queen.

I have to know what you think of the Walther pps? last Sat I almost bought the 40cal.

I really thank you for the time to give all these great points! I have no problem with the size and weight of the Raptor! I love the 45acp round! I love the 1911!

You have got to be the luckiest person I know! You have more guns on my want list then the US Military! You don't know what I would do to shoot the Tommy!

[GunznGear]

@ebomey Opps, sorry I got it wrong on the Kimber.

I really like the PPS, I find that I can shoot it better than any of the small guns. I haven't shot the 40, but it might be too much of a good thing.

I guess because I started w/ big heavy steel guns, I don't mind them either.

Thanks for the kind words, but there's a good reason for my collection. There was a lot of OT to work in the 80's and 90's, AND I didn't get married untill 1999!!!

If you ever get by here, maybe we can shoot the Tommy

[1dabirdman]

good luck buddy! man,i love them 1911s but i'm just to small to carry one.I'm thinkin about an m&p 45,compact model as i like my 9mm so much.i'm gonna pass it along to the wife so i can get a new gun,and i want the larger caliber,but in a compact gun.whats the capacity of the m&p45,compact? thanx Van.8)

[GunznGear]

@1dabirdman The flush fitting mag holds 8rds. You can also use the 10rd mags from the standard version. I usually carry the 10rd mag as a spare.

[1dabirdman]

@GunznGear thanx Van,its definitly goin on my short list.You are truly "the man!"

[JFizzlestein]

man I love those H&K's but I think that Walther is a good looking gun as well.

[GunznGear]

@JFizzlestein Thanks, I really like both guns!!
