 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in, it's time for another handgun showdown where the viewers of this channel decide which company makes the better handguns. This one is going to be a little different. We are comparing budget handguns versus moderately expensive handguns and I see both sides of the issue quite often. You have the budget people that say I could buy two of these for the cost of one of these. I trust my life with these guns, I had no problem carrying them. But yeah, you have the other side that says that makes no sense to me. Pay an additional $150, $200, get a better quality gun and have the peace of mind of knowing that it will be there when you need it. So this will be a good one and I'm really looking forward to getting back the responses. But before we do that, we need to report the results from the last handgun showdown where we featured Canik versus Carr Arms. This was a very good handgun showdown. But in the end, Canik took it. People love the capacity, the features and the price of Canik handguns and they won this showdown. But let's get after budget handguns versus expensive handguns. Let's start with budget handguns and what I'm basing this on is something in the mid-200s, maybe less, maybe a little more, but those are considered budget handguns and let's start with the popular Taurus G2C. A lot of people love this gun, 12 round magazines, single action trigger, feature loaded with thumb safeties, accessory rail, loaded chamber indicator, you name it, it has it and it's budget priced. You know, at a point it was selling for right around $200, $210 and this is an extremely popular model and I think that model brought back Taurus in the eyes of many shooters. Here we have a single stack 9mm, it's a Bursa BP9 CC, carries 8 rounds, but people love this gun as well. It does have a magazine disconnect, but an incredible trigger, 3.3 inch barrel, a sharpshooter. I shoot this gun incredibly well, I've always enjoyed it. Many people love Bursa products and this BP9 is a compliment to their series of handguns. How about a larger handgun? This is a Remington RP9, full size with a 4.5 inch barrel, 18 rounds in the magazine. I believe I picked this up for around 250 bucks and it's got a sweet single action trigger, extremely accurate with that long barrel, nice trigger, good ergos, I'm very happy with it and it's just performed very well for me. I'm sure I had an initial issue, I did have an initial issue with that, but Remington fixed it up for me and it's been fine ever since. Over here we have a Diamondback AM2 with a 3.5 inch barrel, I'm very much impressed with this. 12 round magazines, it's got the front serrations, the pick rail, nice trigger, striker fire indicator, 3 dot sights with an orange front dot. I love this gun and I can speak the same with all these other ones. Handguns, there's definitely a soft place in my heart for budget guns and I think this group of four represents them very well. Here are four what I would consider moderately priced handguns, right around $500 maybe give or take 50 bucks, but I really like these four so let's talk about it. Here we have the Glock 43X 10 rounds in the magazine and it was a big hit when Glock introduced this a couple years ago and I was able to get a hold of one and have kept it ever since because I think they did a nice job extending that grip offering three finger contact on the gun and aftermarket magazines are available as well as many other aftermarket parts which is so consistent with Glock handguns. How about the FNS-9C, I've owned this one a while, it's ambidextrous, it has 12 rounds in the magazine and definitely a straight shooter. This one has night sights, I probably had this for four or five years and I am yet to experience a failure of any kind, it has eaten, fed, fired, ejected every single round that I fed it and it continues to this day to perform excellent. Love this gun, this is a CZ-P10S, it is optic ready so this would be considered the most expensive with these but with an MSRP of $5.77, street price probably close to $500 maybe a little bit more, front serrations, a very nice trigger pull, it offers everything that the P10C does but a little bit smaller with the 3.5 inch barrel and 12 rounds but I've got a base plate there that offers 14 rounds but incredible, CZ handgun I think did an amazing job with this and like the rest of these I've really enjoyed owning that since day one but here we have the Walther PPQ with a four inch barrel, more of a compact size, huge fan base with the PPQ line and I'm part of that fan base, incredible trigger, cross directional texturing on the grip, a rail, it's one of the lighter handguns in the polymer class but a straight shooter, a nice handgun all around many people even carry these I have to say I'm a fan and I think that this sample of four represents moderately priced handguns quite well so which is your preference are you into budget handguns or moderately priced handguns both or do you try to hit that sweet spot in between if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
