What is my daily carry handgun and ammo?

A common question I get is "what do you carry daily?" This includes what ammo I carry in my defensive pistol. In this video I answer the question of what my daily carry pistol is and the ammo used. A spoiler is, I carry a Glock 19 with the FailZero finish in 9mm.

How much did u pay to have fail zero done?

[Sturmgewehre]

@Vergon3256 I bought it already done.  It's called an EXO Glock, made by Talon.

Am I missing something here? The 19 and 17 you had in the video ,did they have stainless steel slides? If you don't mind, where did you purchase them?

[Sturmgewehre]

@MeditationDub They are EXO Glocks. That means they have been treated with Nickel Boron by a company called FailZero. Google them. You can have your Glocks treated with this finish as well.

Despite the marketing, the "trigger safety" on the Glock isn't intended as a direct safety measure, it's an extremely simple and reliable way to lock up the trigger bar, preventing it from traveling rearward from momentum due to a severe drop, which would disengage the firing pin block and release the striker, causing the gun to discharge. This is EXACTLY why the original Ruger SR9s were recalled and EXACTLY why all post-recall models and other striker fired autos have similar mechanisms.

[Sturmgewehre]

@Mharhon I understand that's the claimed purpose, however it's been demonstrated that even without the "dingus" you can drop the pistol as hard as you wish and it still won't fire. The weight of the trigger and trigger bar are light enough that any reasonable impact (or even unreasonable) can't generate enough inertia to actually trip the sear.

My son has a Glock 19 and absolutely loves it, i've shot it and it's a nice pistol, but doesn't really fit my hand. I bought a Walther PPQ in .40 S&W because it fits my hand perfectly, points perfectly, and is 100% reliable (so far, heh) Great video Sturm, keep up the exemplary work.

I was wondering if you have had any feed problems with hollowpoint on your Kahr 9mm? I ended up using Golden Sabre in it but am still looking.

[MrBigden37]

Very good observation, regarding the Beretta incidental safety engagement can be resolved with either converting the pistol to a "G" version(i.e. decocker only) or buying it that way.

[duke3oh8]

Just want to clarify, the EXO treated G19 came with all original stuff from Glock (the 3 mags, holster, etc) correct?

[chrisrocks750]

this was 10 minutes of my life wasted, seriously everything you said was common sense.

[harpoclarx]

You have the stainless slide Glock's. I just bought a Glock 23 with that finish on it. I was mesmerized by how totally cool it feels. And the barrel seems to have all the edges taken off of it. It is really a good shooting gun. I had a Glock 26, but it just did not fit me at all, one size up and they fit great. I have a Kimber ultra carry II and a Walther PPQ. Out of all of my guns, the one I know that will not fail, is the Glock. That in itself tells me why every cop that I see has one.

@Sturmgewehre, thank god you arnt someone that revoles around a specific brand. I revole around specific types. any well made gun with the browning style dropped barrel. mainly of course the 1911.
