Is this video for people who know nothing about guns?

[deepwoodskentuckian]

ah id rather carry a 40 then a 9mm or even better a 45

Larry, come on man. 1.8 seconds and 4 rounds fired with a Remington 870 12 gauge. Yet you managed 2 seconds and 3 rounds fired with a semi-auto handgun. Either be consistent or only test what you're comfortable using.

@bigfootgunot Maybe it's the higher pressure/muzzle velocity. The 9×19mm Parabellum is better for penetration (body armour etc), although it does pack less punch. Bizarre though, I don't like his metrics.

how is the 45 acp in between 2 9mm's?? 1:02

So is this a joke? It must be a joke.

[davk003]

why do they do these 3 factors? makes no sense. only one is knock down. The rest is up to the shooter. They should do more things like ammo capacity, reliability, sights, size ... These videos are absolutely no help for considering a concealed carry weapon.

Would you recommend the Glock 17 for a first time buyer and shooter? I'm looking to go Glock in either 17, 22 or 27. Recommended by someone if 27 get the x-grip added

[funkzilla420]

seems like all personal preference to me. this just shows how well the insructor uses various firearms and is again all personal preference.

[es8210]

why do you never consider ergonomics or size when talking about concealed carry? isn't that everybodies first thought when they think of a concealed carry firearm?

[tommie314101]

You could've shot this alot faster wich would've gotten it a much higher score. looks like you're putting down the glock on purpose here.
