Choosing a concealed carry firearm can be a daunting task, often involving trips to various gun stores, consultations with friends that own firearms, late-night internet forum browsing, and possibly asking a spouse how much money one is allowed to spend. Along the way, various rules might be set - "it has to be in a caliber starting with 4," or "only a revolver is always reliable," or "You can't spend more than $300 on something silly like that."

When I worked in a gun store (there's a phrase I don't like to repeat often), I encountered this all the time. I would often have to help someone select a firearm based on arbitrary rules that Uncle Jerry had set forth - despite Uncle Jerry's complete lack of knowledge.

With those experiences in mind, I've decided to create a video on the subject, being as brief as possible while still explaining my opinions. Keep in mind that they're opinions - feel free to seek out other advice - just take Uncle Jerry's with a grain of salt.

  • @woahcoolwaffles121 That's because I pulled it out of my holster to photograph it. Why a cocked firearm would bother you but an uncocked one wouldn't baffles me.

  • @woahcoolwaffles121 Cocked, uncocked, loaded, unloaded, partially disassembled, .45, .22, does not matter, treat every weapon as if it were loaded.

  • Great video! I hope you don't mind me sharing it on fb.

  • Very informative thank you

  • @mattthekingdong ideagles was probably butthurt that vuurwapen didnt promote a 12 INCH LONG .50ae desert eagle for concealed carry.

  • favorited. definitely helping me narrow down my choices.

  • This certainly helps w/ my decision-making!

  • Your video should be required viewing, not only for those struggling with choosing a weapon, but definitely by those others making videos. Yours is clear, concise, well thought out and easy to watch. You knuckleheads that think that all you need is a camera and some half baked ideas on how to present your opinions should carefully study this video.

  • Great video! Definitely going to take a lot of this into consideration when I start looking at my first concealed carry.

  • Really well done video.  Thanks!

  • Springfield XD line is IMPORTED from Croatia (6:12 just to the right of Italy) and are known in Europe under HS 2000 name... Springfield only bought U.S. import rights

    Springfield 1911 are manufactured in Brazil and some are assembled in USA
