 What is up guys and welcome back to the John Key channel. Thanks for watching. In today's video I want to go over my top five everyday carry pistols that live in my rotation of everyday carry. Some pistols I carry a lot more and others I don't carry as often but they do live in the rotation of my everyday carry. Now if you've been a follower of this channel you know that one of my very first everyday carries was this the Glock 43x Gen 5. Well technically I don't think there's a Gen 5 just yet but it does have front and rear serrations. It's got a smooth grip but this is not the MOS which is the only thing that I don't like about this. Well the other thing that I don't like about it is that it comes with 10 rounds. I wish I had the 15 round magazine but it is what it is. And before we begin of course this gun and all the other guns being shown in this video are being safe cleared and empty by me. I verify twice so you don't have to worry about that but yeah this Glock 43x has been with me for about three I believe maybe even four years now. I've carried the 43x the longest and I like it so much because it's small it's compact and it's very slim. Like if you see that grip and depending how big your hand is you just bear hug that grip which is I mean to me really really good. Just holding it with one hand it feels like home. It just feels phenomenal in the hands. Like I said the downside it's not the MOS version only has 10 rounds and you can attach a flashlight. Well I guess you technically could but I like the pick rail instead of kind of this smooth smooth edge here. I still have the stock sights and they have not failed me. I do think though this front sight is just slightly bending to the left and for that reason I do have to change out both of those sights. And the fact that it's so slim and fits really well on my body in a holster just 10 out of 10. Next hey guys quick interruption here just want to let you guys know about true shot ammo. If you're looking to get new ammo or even stock up on your ammo make sure to use a link down below in the description and go to true shot ammo and get all the ammo you might need. To be totally honest guys that link down below is my personal link which means when you click on it you go to true shot ammo order some ammo it benefits true shot ammo but also gives me a little bit of a kick back which is just totally awesome and helps me create videos like this in the future. So no matter what kind of caliber you need or may want or just need to stockpile on ammo make sure to use that link down below and visit true shot ammo. You guys are awesome thanks for the support now let's get back to the video. Next on the list is this this Sig Sauer P365X macro. Now this thing is a beast let this kind of be a nudge for all of you who want to get into the X macro you need to go buy it. All in this cost about a thousand dollars and the thing that I love about this macro is that it honestly might even be slimmer than the 43x and so it fits in my hand even better honestly than the 43x which is wild to say because the 43x is small it's compact all those great things. Now with the X macro you do get 17 rounds plus one which means a total of 18 rounds which beats the 43x by a landslide they fit 18 rounds into this tiny compact sized handgun which is just crazy of course I got the hollow sun 407k on here and the cool thing about this is that it comes with night sights which is awesome but also the tip of the slide here has a compensator it's got a two port comp which does help immensely it's not as snappy and does stay flat when you shoot it it's got a pick rail here for any kind of flashlight that you want the grip texture is solid and when I go out to the rain and I'm sweating a ton I don't lose a grip on this pistol group. The X macro has lived in my rotation for about a couple of years now and I got to tell you it's probably the first gun that I grabbed for when I go to everyday carry like this is probably my top favorite I would probably give this a 10 out of 10 for sure. Moving on to the next everyday carry this is the Glock 19 gen 5 of course it's got a trigger con rmr type 2 and it does have the 15 round magazine still has the stock sights which at some point will probably change out it's got front and rear serrations of course it's the gen 5 the grip is fantastic I mean it's a Glock it's the Glock 19 gen 5 you can't beat that it's reliable it's rugged the only thing that I'm not a big fan is that it's a little bulky especially in the grip area right here if I compare it to the X macro it's not as thin but it's not very very thick like a 17 it still feels really good in the hands I will say when I everyday carry this pistol because of its bulkiness it tends to be a little bit more uncomfortable in like the 3 or 4 o'clock position but if I'm carrying appendix it's not as bad and it's tolerable but for those of us who carry a gun every day it's not for comfortability it's for protection and newly added to the collection of everyday carry is the staccato cs now I have carried this a couple of times and the times that I have carried the 2011 staccato cs it's been okay now surprisingly I I I can't believe I'm saying that because I love the 2011 cs so much like when I'm carrying it every day it tends to just because I mean you can you can see right just like how tactical and how maybe not bulky but there's just so many things going on with the cs and so you feel all those things when you carry the gun it's a little bit on the heavier side but hey it's a 2011 staccato what I mean it's not going to be a light gun and I'm okay sacrificing that because hey I freaking love this gun but overall I'd probably give this like I don't know probably good 8 out of 10 I carry this without an optic on there that will soon change but overall I mean it's a solid pistol but when you do carry it just make sure that you know that it might be uncomfortable in certain areas so kind of make sure that you can carry comfortably at like maybe 12 to 1 o'clock I know for me the 3 or 4 o'clock position does tend to kind of be like ah okay it's scratching me I'm sitting down okay now it's kind of like hurting me I mean you could develop a little bit of a rash and it can hurt but hey suck it up buttercup now lastly but not least by any means this is the helicap pro and it also carries 15 rounds plus one of the chambers so total of 16 rounds now when I have carried the helicap pro it's very much like the 43x it's very slim it's very smooth and it's compact but the thing that I do like about the helicap pro is that when you go to feel the actual pistol it's very very smooth I don't know what springfield armory did but it feels so smooth the pistol grip is very thin it's almost like an x-macro but even thinner and a little bit better I would say it's not as aggressive as a pistol grip of the x-macro but it's still when you go to present I mean it feels really good in the hands and the cool thing about the helicap pro is that it doesn't feel like a small pistol even though it is it doesn't feel like it which is honestly probably a good thing for most people it's got a really good reliable trigger it's got a pick rail for any flashlight attachments and you can attach an optic if you want to now as far as comfortability I will say that this might be one of the more comfortable guns in my rotation than I carry I carry this about three or four o'clock and with my holster it's very smooth it's very flat on my body it doesn't rough me up it doesn't scratch me I mean it's got smooth edges there are no sharp pointy things that are going to poke me or pinch me like the staccato cs but overall I probably rate this a good solid seven or eight out of ten so here's what I'm going to say in my rotation there's about five different guns and the thing with me is that I go out and shoot and train all the time with each of those guns so those are my five top everyday carry guns what are your guys please comment down below I would love to know what you guys carry all the time and with that being said guys thanks so much for watching I will catch you in the next Johnny Q video peace
