Chris, I'm 70 and in May 2023 I bought my first handgun. The Canik TP9 ELITE SC based on your review of it. I am subscriber to your channel and go to your reviews for my next gun purchase.
Glad you got a gun :-)
Sounds like somebody deserves a new CZ for Christmas
@@jijjr Have the same pistol Sir!!! Love it!!!
Right on!
All time favorite pistol
It’s legit perfect
Love the Dad stories...those of us who are fortunate enough to have learned the same lessons from our Dads can definitely appreciate them. Pass down your guns and knowledge men...the fun and memories you create is something special.
100%. We owe that to our grandfathers, dads, kids, and even to ourselves.
“Do your self a favor,take a kid fishing..” (outro for a old outdoors tv show )or hunting or shooting…or anything outdoors. Even if it’s not your kid. It’s important!& not as much of it going on as it used to be. ..
Unfortunately three of my grandsons are being raised in Alaska, but they will be getting golden boys when I'm gone
Ruger 10/22 was the first gun I owned. I had a job and saved my pennies to buy that gun and I still remember how proud I was when dad took me to the gun counter and I bought it. The salesman smiled and asked "did your dad tell you that this comes with a free box of shells?". The guy added a 50 round box of whatever cheap shells they had behind the counter. I took that gun home and wasn't allowed to touch it until I could recite the 10 rules to firearms safety (I think there were 10 back then) from memory. Then I spent the afternoon rubbing the stock with Pledge furniture polish until it shined. That rifle is still running strong, almost 40 years later. Oh, and now it has plenty of company in the safe.
I loved the story, thanks for sharing , I hope I can give my future children the same experience :)
Red Ryder Changed My Life
Absolutely 💯
Hope you didn’t shoot your eye out, kid.
Gateway drug 😆
I got lucky. My first 1 looked like a Winchester lever gun.
You didn't put your eye out?!? 😂
Hi Chris; I’ve been following you for a few years and enjoy you expertise. You showed a single shot 20 gauge shotgun you got as a kid in this episode which reminded me of a Browning single shot 20 gauge that was given to me in the 80’s. I am a paraplegic in a wheelchair. When I shot it the first time, my friends were dying laughing because I look like a howitzer because when I shoot it, my front wheels would pop off the ground and when I break the breach, the spent shell would fly out with a trail of smoke.
Great imagery, I believe I would be laughing too....😊
It's amazing how certain firearms hold so much personal significance beyond just their specs. Every gun tells a story, whether it's about heritage, a pivotal moment, or just a favorite range day.
You're CZ P07 video is what made me purchase one. Never had to do any upgrades because you said to keep putting amo through it. One of my best shooting guns in my safe.
I love My P10F and am curious about a P07. If Chris says it's good, it's good!
@J1Z06 Chris's P07 has definitely seen more rounds than mine, but love mine!
Yep, HO is the reason I've got 3 CZ's, including my EDC.
@@allenrichards9949 I could never catch Him by the amount of rounds He's fired! Chris and His Wife are cool people!
@@J1Z06 The P-07 is a good gun, it's a great gun after upgrading the trigger. Same goes for any of the entry level hammer fired CZs. The stock triggers have a long reset and heavy double action pull. They get better as you break them in but the upgrade kit from CGW takes it to a whole new level.
The CZ Shadows seem to always make you “TOP 10” or “BEST AT” videos and that speaks for what the gun is. I absolutely love mine and think it’s one of the best bang for your buck pistols out there.
I want the shadow 2 bad !!!! 😩
The shadow 2 will be my next gun. I held a used one years ago going for $700!!!! 😭😭😭 little did I know what I was holding. Kick myself every time I remember
@jbw5485 Dude, you traded that!?
I also think the Glock 26 still holds up as a CCW pistol. You can get smaller and lighter, but this hits the sweet spot for me when you balance shootability and concealability. Great list! My first shotgun was an Ithaca M-66 (if you don't know, it's a single shot that opens with a lever action) chambered in .20 gauge with a fixed modified choke barrel. Obnoxious iron sights that served no purpose whatsoever, but it's all I had! Blew up so many empty milk jugs and cans with that mule.
Friday I purchased a CZ SP-01 Tactical, Saturday was first shots and I am hooked. I have never been able to shoot so fast while still getting shots on target at 25 yards. Wow what a banger.
Have same gun. Superb! But I added a Cajun Gun Works trigger. So smooth it is no a competition gun, as opposed to the carry pistola it was once.l
Great choice ! Perfect pistol
Congratulations. I welcome to the CZ Life 👍👍
Love my SP01... probably more than my Shadow 2.
@@surfingonmars8979I added the pro package basically! Everyone that shoots my CZ falls in love with it lol
Thanks!
Gun that change my life was a Smith & Wesson 586 .357 4inch. I was on patrol and was confronted by an armed subject during a suspicious activity call. Performed accurately and ended the confrontation with two rounds. Hated to transition to the Glock.
Well done sir
Thank you for your service and you should be proud you kept your community safe
I think you are the best firearms influencer around. #1 criteria is you don’t push any politics. #2 you are an effing dead-eye. There is no one’s opinion I trust more that yours. You actually made me a die-hard CZ guy. Thanks for all the guidance and advice. And the PSAs about the kids shelter (which I donated to) and the recycling (which I do) just makes you even more fucking awesome.
In 1970 at the age of 14 my Dad took me to the gun shop and I purchased an Anshutz target rifle, yes there were no restrictions on a 14 year old purchasing a .22 rifle 😉. I used that rifle for three years competing in indoor small bore NRA Junior class, and obtained an Expert classification. When I reach that level my Dad purchased for me a Winchester 52D which I used to obtain the Distinguished Expert classification. I shot well enough for those four years to take second in the 1973 Oregon State Junior team competition, made it to the regionals in 1971, 72, and 73, but was never consistent enough to go to the nationals. (All junior competition was iron sights only.) The last year of Junior competition I obtained the Marksman’s ranking in 30 caliber outdoor using a M1903 with the ladder rear sight. But at 125 lbs soaking wet the .30-‘06 was brutal 😱! Now at 68 years old and three lenses in my glasses I just shoot for the fun of it 😃👍.
love the personal and relatable anecdotes you added, Chris. As a long time fan I enjoy the seldom personal stories that have shaped you into the informative and thorough reviewer and "guntuber" you've become. Thank you for yet another quality and informative video that cannot only be enjoyed individually now but also shared with others such as to my young sons in the future along with fellow gun and 2nd amendment lovers.
My first gun was a 39A marlin, I purchased it used in the early 80's... Wonderful rifle!!
This is an interesting vid with a hint of nostalgia and sentimental value. Thanks for including stories about your Dad. My Dad gave me some cool guns that I will give to my boys someday. I enjoy hearing about your background and how it shaped your life. Keep up the good work.
At 7 years old, my uncle was visiting and bought me an Ithaca M49 .22 rifle. This rifle you can shoot shorts, regular, and long .22. I love it and still have it. I was pretty much a single shot marksman. Great video. Thank you for sharing
Great one, as we all remember our first guns. Hey Chris, please do another Mrs. Outlaw vid soon. Your wife is awesome and we don't get to hear from her enough.
Thanks for sharing your stories! I loved hearing them. Keep up the great work!
You always have remember your first.
Remington 514, a gift from dad. Started shooting with that gun. Joined the military is the mid 80’s sniper and instructor. Now almost 60 and still at the range at least 2 times a month. My zen place…😬
This is a great idea for a video! We all have those things that are special to us
Thank you for sharing a little bit of your past with us! Appreciate you
Hey Chris my first handgun was a Glock 23. Shot some Sig’s, S&W, and a Springfield 1911 45 ACP. Decided on a Glock and never looked back. Although there are some sweet 1911’s out there now that I would love to own. 👊🏻 Love your content keep them rolling!
My grandfather gave me his old Savage 12 gauge single shot when I was 12 years old. It was a bruiser. Many years later I had the receiver and barrel Parkerized. Refinished the stock and forearm and had my gunsmith friend install Remington rifle sights. Also, for my poor shoulder I installed Pachmayr white line recoil pad. It was the best deer hunting slug gun I’ve ever owned.
This is great. I learned to shoot on a single shot, lever action, breach loading .22 LR and a browning .22 LR pistol. My son's been learning on that same rifle. Great stuff, great video.
Nice to hear all those stories
My buddy had a SP-01 and i loved it so much i started looking into CZ pistols. Then decided i wanted a range queen fun gun and was trying to choose between shadow 2 and TSO. Found your channel because of the TSO video and that was the gun i bought. Love the gun and your videos still after all these years! 👍
Love the content Chris. Favorite fire arm is Remington 20 g wingmaster bought and paid for by 2 years hard labor when I was 14. My dad and I would go shooting on the weekends. Great memories still.
Very nostalgic video. Really interesting to learn about your background! Keep up the great job of putting out lots of content, and Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. Outlaw from the folks in Tennessee!
At :21 what an absolute maniac! I've never seen someone work a lever action so smooth while shouldered and firing!
The first gun that comes to mind for me, is my Ruger American gen 1 in 6.5 creedmoor. It is the rifle that got me in to reloading. I had my great uncle teach me how once I bought the supplies and tools. That was a blast also. Now i have the rifle in a magpul hunter stock, wearing a Burris XTR II and its shooting half moa five shot groups!
Man, this vid REALLY took me back. I spent summers on my maternal Grandparent's farm. My Mom's uncle gave me my first .22, a Sear & Robuck "J.C. Higgins" bolt gun that I used to keep rats out of my Grandpa's workshop and ground squirrels out of the hay fields. My Dad gave me my first H&R .410 single shot that I used during dove season. Luckily, I still have both. Beyond that, my Grandpa used to send me down to the "ice house" (*as we called them here in South Texas) with enough cash to score a box of .22 long, a box of .22 rat shot, and two packs of king-sized Kents. Yes, they used to let an 8yo buy ammo and cigarettes in those days.
Yep. I went to the Western Auto and bought 22LR by the each rounds. They kept a box just for that. That was a different time.
My dad used to give me a $5 bill and say get on your bike and go to the store and get me 3 packs of lucky strike non filter. Get yourself a candy bar and pop too then bring me back the change. One time the cashier goes don't eat drink and smoke all of that before you get home. I was like 11yo then. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And yes if you came back with 39 cig you knew what would happen. So did the storeowner
My dad taught me on a Ruger 10/22, and his backup S&W (6)49. For my 21st, I was trying to decide b/w a 1911 and a Glock, so I looked at the cover of allll the magazines at the grocery store. The good ol 1911 was on all of them...except the Cowboy Action Shooting mag...which just had an even older 45, LOL!
Thank you for your many wonderful videos, and I hope you get even more new firearms for us to see this next year!
Hey man, I love everything you do, and thank you for doing it! For me it was a .22 Marlin, a .243 for my first deer hunting rifle, and a browning bt99 to shoot competition trap.
Love this take on a top 5 video, Chris. My Ruger GP100 got me into shooting IDPA. Bought it used years ago and have run the shit out of it since.
Also, it warmed my heart to see the h&r. I learned how to shoot on a 12 gauge single shot H&R, and I still have it. Mine is probably 30 or 40 years older than yours, and has the older design barrel break lever, But the pin layout and design look identical to yours. They had a particularly heavy breech design and there is just nothing to go wrong. Fantastic shotguns. Only downside with mine is it can only shoot 2-3/4 in shells, so no magnums. But I sure do love it.
Guns that changed my life. Beretta 92 (80s/90s action movies, video games like Resident Evil, and my Military service). Glock 35 (specifically due to the video game Dino Crisis. It was the first time that I was introduced to one pistol being converted to shoot a different caliber). 1911 (holding and shooting it was enough to make me a fan for life, but then you add the history and its evolution…wow!)
The single shot shot done frickin' love those and I love the bead sight
Probably my favorite of your videos. More introspective talk, less fast paced flashbang.
Those cheap ammo sleeves for rifle and shotgun stocks, they look kind of crazy but work extremely well. Good place for additional weight.
my first rifle was an HR single shot .243. I still have it. My first shotgun was a mossberg 500 20ga pump that i still have. I started my kid off with a .22 cricket. Then bought him a s&w m&p ar-22. He's 12 now. He wanted a lever action rifle for christmas so i got him the Henry Golden boy. He loves it. I think he enjoys shooting it more than the semi auto.
GREAT stories bro, THANK YOU!
What an interesting topic. Walther P-38, first gun I ever fired. By the time I was 18, I could hit beer bottles at 75 yards. T/C Contender. Learned the nuances of aiming when right-hand/left-eye dominant. Got my first deer with a Marlin 336. Ruger 10/22, of course. And my first AR - It was a rifle length Rock River. I was a Ruger Mini14 guy and held off on an AR for about 3 decades. Now I swear by them.
This was great. Thanks for sharing!!!
I am new to regularly carrying, and for me the first gun I started doing that with around 2 years ago is the canik tp9sa. Bare bones, but it is crazy reliable. Very simple but I just love it, it just works every single time.
You have the only gun video intro that I can not only tolerate but also I like it a lot
Great video, greetings from South Africa
My dad's Ruger semi auto .44 mag carbine. Loved that gun, and that has led me to the Henry .44 carbine. And the mossberg 20 gauge pump that he bought me for my birthday some 40 years ago. Still have it, and still shoot it.
Kimber Super Carry Pro 4-inch 45. When I first chanced to see it in an outdoor store in 2012, I could not get it out of my mind. I dreamt of owning it but was completely broke. When I finally got a decent paying gig in 2014, the first thing I did was buy a car and the second thing I did was buy that Kimber-just in time (because it was probably one of the last ones on the market new). It became a pivotal point, ultimately kicking off a whole new life trajectory of firearms learning and collecting, which, like a pebble thrown into a pond, has had ripple effects, changing my values, priorities, and identity in ways I could have never foreseen or imagined at the time of the purchase.
Here in South Africa it works very different for us to get licences, so when I went on the ''What should I buy journey'' I knew I need 2 hand guns an AR15 and a 12G, all semi auto. So I knew I needed to buy once cry once. A few years ago I watch this guy called Honest Outlaw and on his recommendation I went for the Shadow SP01, I got really lucky and scooped up a Orange SP01 for a bargain, and I could not be happier. Thank Honest Outlaw for years of honesty and helping with the journey. What ever I am looking at I always go to you first and see if you have a video.
You need to move here in Louisiana in the U.S. I don’t know what a gun license is. I’ve got a bunch of guns. I’m not saying it online but two safes won’t hold all them, not nearly all of them !
No license to Conceal Carry either !
A lot of gun tubers, you are one of the best.
The original CZ 75 (first series with the short rail) was the first gun I bought.
Got my firearms license specifically for that particular pistol, and - at the time - only for that pistol. Before long, it got me hooked on collecting Czech firearms. Now, the oldest I own is a 1929 Vz. 24, and the newest a 2022 P10C OR SR, with a lot of variety inbetween. 😁
My first handgun was a G19/3. Thought it printed too bad (I had yet learned to dress around the gun), so I bought a G26/3. To which I added grip extensions so it printed like the 19. I traded the 26 on my first AR.
My first gun was a Marlin 60 rifle in .22LR. Shot it for a few years and then purchased a Ruger 10/22. I gave the Marlin to my younger brother so he could enjoy it as much as I did. I don't think he still has the Marlin, but I kept that Ruger and plan to give it to a future grandchild.
Love these videos with a personal story attached....thanks!!!!
I can say that my original SP-01 had an OK trigger, but it was definitely not even close to a Shadow trigger. I also had failures with it during USPSA competitions as it was sprung really heavy even for some factory loads. I had to put a lighter recoil spring in it and after that it ran great. It was originally sprung for heavy NATO loads from what I was told. I let that gun go years ago, but I still enjoy CZ guns and even the EAA Witness (Tanfoglio) series which is now being imported by IFG I think. Tanfoglios are tack drivers like CZs.
My Dad taught my brother and I on a Remington Nylon 66. To reload the rifle he used a rapid reload device that had several tubes that you load to the rifle's capacity, and just tip it into the magazine tube end. I have one for each of my Henrys. The Henry is a great rifle. I had an H&R 20 gauge with an interchangable .30-30 barrel. Nice learning shotgun.
My Dad and I both had Nylon 66's - the Apache Black model, and my younger brother had the Mohawk Brown model. Love that gun - still have it but it doesn't function well now.
I've had my 870 and my Ruger Mark I since the mid 70s. Both bought with lawn mowing money.
I no longer have the S&W Model 28 and Nylon 66 from the same era.
Best buy was a Kimber Model 82 Govt. Weaver 36X target scope. Hits a nickel at 100 yards.
My father's guns are the most important. A 1911 (not an A1), A K98k, and a Colt Banker's Special.
I was never really a gun guy, but my dad got me a marlin model 60, which I never really shot, but never got rid of.
Then for my 21st birthday he took me a gun store, and we looked at everything they had inside. I didn't know anything about guns at all.
After looking around we went back out to the car, and he said, " Open the glove box. You can either have that or the one you picked out inside."
In the glove box was a Makarov in 380 with 5 magazines. He'd owned it for years, and always was taking it to the range.
I picked the Makarov and have done some upgrades to it (not many available, but some that make it a much better and faster gun).
Dad's gone, but the Mak is still hanging around.
Along with about a dozen pistols and as many long guns. That gun opened up a world to me that has brought me a lot of satisfaction and memories.
When my kids are old enough, they'll all get the same offer: Go pick one out at the store or go pick one out of the safe.
My first memory shooting is with a Remington Model 24, 22 shorts only. I am 67 and still have it. :-) Love that gun because of the memories.
I’ve only been into firearms for right at a year now and I have had 9, about to be 10 guns after I get my M&P Competitor, and I have to say that my SD9 2.0 was the one that really paved the way for what works best for me and what I enjoy shooting the best.
I tried many different platforms and calibers, but the SD9 provided me with more opportunity and experience and even though I would love to have a 2011, which is a platform I haven’t experienced yet, I know that the striker fire, 9mm platform is close enough to the performance of a 2011 that will provide excellent protection for me and my family and a lot of fun shooting without needing to spend too much money.
I also discovered that S&W is my go to firearm as they provide a wide range of reliable products that are made in the USA and at a very affordable price.
Over 65 years ago,I got as a present a Winchester model 67A single shot 22 LR rifle. Very simple, well made, and today, still have it.
My first pistol, my dad gave me. S&W Model 60
3" barrel. I still have it. I'm a revolver person. I'm beginning to like the 40 caliber semi automatics as well. Recently bought a Beretta PXSTORM. Also S&W40 2.0 I like them really well.
This was a really cool video. Seeing your real live favorites place these originals in the same category as expensive top of the line firearms.
When I was around 6, my father would take the family out to shoot at a range he knew which later turned out to be on a Reservation, which the residents weren't pleased about. Before we got run off, we would be shooting a Marlin Model 60 SA rifle. I remember loving the smell of the gun after it fired. Between all four of us, we put hundreds of rounds through that old .22. I don't have that particular rifle, but I do have another one my dad gave me and I will never sell it. I love shooting that rifle. On our range trips, I also shot a .410 shotgun, but didn't shoot another shotgun until recently when I purchased a 12 gauge. Those were good memories.
Forgot to add, my paternal grandfather was a master gunsmith. I would always watch him work on the guns in his garage. He'd tinker away doing whatever it was he was doing, and I'd ask occasional questions about guns and how they worked. He wanted to train me to work with him, but I was a dumb kid and didn't take him up on his offer. (Yes, I still regret that).
Thanks for the video, and thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Thanks for the great post! I have a CZ 75 and though it's not one of my EDCs - It's a bit heavy compared to my polymer frame pistols - my Wonder 9 is the-most-accurate of my handguns.
I have the 75 bd and love it, it sleeps next to bed. I alter carry between rami/p10c - they all shoot flat they all shoot everything.
Great list. My gen 3 Glock 26 has been my 24/7 sidearm since 2012. While I’m aware there may be better options available today, my sample of one is reliable and I shoot it well. I have yet to find something so amazing that I want to replace it.
Same here.... I LOVE MY G26...have carried it for 10 year & IMO why EDC something New when you are used to a certain gun & already know that gun 100% ...... I personally want a pistol that I'm CONFIDENT with
Wild you said "your Dad grew up in a repurposed box car". I swear Im not kidding, my Dad did as well. His father worked for the railroad after WWII, wood was scarce, and he dismantled several retired box cars, and built a one room house on a lake in Evart, MI. I never knew until recently the roof leaked, ceiling rotted, we tore out the ceiling, and saw from the inside the roof was made from solid oak planks that were tongue and groove. I was like, why ? And my dad told me the house was made from railroad cars, and when my great grandfather oversaw the build, and the tongue and grooves, he said, "well, if this ever blows away, it's all going to blow away in one piece !" Lol.
I was introduced to the Tanfoglio version of the CZ almost 40 years ago. It's my favorite handgun platform to date
NO WAY! My first shotgun was also a black and silver H&R! I still have it today and it’s been a great little gun. My oldest shot it for the first time this year, very cool!
Awesome
Love the stories
I love stories like this. In some ways, I still wish I had some of my old guns that had a lot of these stories behind them. And other ways, I guess the guns that have changed my life or the ones I was able to actually choose and make my own stories with. And now, my kids are making their choices, picking out stuff I have, and starting their own stories.
I got an H&R 20 S/S at about the same age. Great little shotgun. I had to add a slip on recoil pad for the extra length. Once I grew up I had trouble hitting targets and figured out the gun no longer fit my frame. After the recoil pad, I was back to hitting anything in range.
Just like Pokémon. Love it man. I have the sickness too. Merry Christmas Brother.
My first pistol was a Ruger P89. Loved It! The feel of the gun and the weight was perfect for me. After a couple years, I jumped on the Glock bandwagon and bought a G22. Hated it from the get go. Only gun I ever owned that came with a slide bite guarantee. Sold it and bought a Ruger P95 instead. Love it. Still have both. And while I've become a big Canik fan over the years, my Rugers are still my home defense guns, and probably always will be.
So appreciate your content. Genuine reviews and real info. Merry Christmas and thank you.
This guy couldnt shoot his way out of a paper bag!
Kidding! I love watching the smoothness with which you shoot. Especially with pistols. You can tell youve put in your reps
Can you make a top 10 revolver list?
I dont think hes got 10. He needs to get some loaners from subscibers or his buddies or somethin. Still love the channel but im getting tired of seeing all his same guns he owns over n over again.
@@FirstLast-ff7qxmy man he just said he has over 40 1911s. You kno he prly has 150 firearms. Which we have not seen
@ I get that, I’m pretty new to firearms so I’m trying to be as informed as possible and I haven’t seen many best of revolvers lists.
@@j.dieason7527 then lets see some lol
@@j.dieason7527 itd be cool if hed bring em out instead of recycling the same ones we already seen a bunch.
My old man is getting on in years and in an ironic twist I’m finally teaching him about firearms and how to use them. I’m treasuring this time and I never want to it end. Who would have thought a video about a lever action 22 and a single shot shotgun would have me emotional. Thank you!
Also… can I come clean up your brass 😂
Love my SP-01 Tactical, hope to get a Shadow version some day. But very smooth and easy to keep on target due to the weight.
For my 12 birthday Mom and Dad gave me a WINCHESTER 9422. Absolutely beautiful walnut. I am 68 years old and I do remember the trips to the store to buy 22 LR shells by the box at 12 years old.
My first guns were a Mossberg 395 bolt action 12 gauge for deer and a Remington 512 Sportsman bolt action 22lr for rabbit & squirrel. Similar to the lever guns I believe learning to shoot with bolt guns made me want to make sure I was going to hit my targets the first time because cycling a bolt and maintaining a good sight picture isn't so easy when you're about 10-12 years old.
It was my Stepdad that brought me into guns, at 10 yrs old. I remember vividly the first shots, and how nervous i was, from a 12 gauge pump with interchangeable barrels, a single shot break action 30/30 rifle and his .357 revolver (which i dropped). Those were my intro's into shooting and i remember he would have me shooting that 30/30 until i could consistently hit a coke can at about 50 yards with iron sights before he would put a scope on it. Eventually i got upgraded to a 30/06 lol. This video definitely brought back some very good memories that i rarely think about anymore.
Great video with heart. M1A1 Match Custom built by Army smith Smith given to me by my Grandfather.
Ruger mark II 22/45 with the 5.5inch barrel, My 3rd or 4th gun, but my first one that was a good shooter. Great trigger, solid sights. Got me more focused on shooting well and not just hitting center mass of the silhouette. Glad I kept it these 20 some years.
When I was in my 30's (62 now) I met a great gentleman who shot all sorts of sports. He sold me a Series 70 Gold Cup. My second handgun ever, first was Ruger MK 2. It started my obsession with handguns and competition. I am not very good but enjoy about any kind of competition you can do with a handgun. The Gold Cup will be the last one I ever sell as I age. My kids are not into guns so will leave it to my best friends son. I have a few Ed Brown 1911's whch are great and a Clark Wad Gun but the Colt is something special.
I think this may be the best video you have ever made.
One of the best reviewers out there
This Video is Now a New Favorite!!! Thanks for Sharing!!!
Would definitely like to see a tour of your gun safes/room
A great video. Thank you.
Glock 17 was the first gun I got when I began shooting 23 years ago and I love it to this day. A simple gun for a simple girl. Love your channel, Chris!!
Great video! Still love my h&r 20 gauge.
Thanks buddy...love your videos...
Keeping it real! Thanks Chris.
First gun I used to hunt with was my Dad's Kmart 20 gauge shotgun. Great gun 👍
Cool vid shot the 20 gauge growing up too
#1 Mossberg 500 - The one I got shot with. I don't own that one.
#2 Ruger SR40C - First handgun purchase and carry pistol.
#3 Remington 870 Express 28" - my first gun purchase in high school. It did everything and I should have kept it.
#4 Glock 17 - first handgun I ever fired as a child
#5 Ithaca Nitro Express - Great Grandfather's double barrel shotgun.
I own that mossberg :)
You got shot with a mossberg and lived bro?!???
Winchester 9422, first gun my dad gave me at 12, 48yrs later it still shoots great.
The first pistol I ever shot was a Colt 1911 Gold Cup National Match. That thing was sweet. Always have had a thing for a good 1911.
My Dad has an '81 Gold Cup Trophy National Match that's never been fired. I think that's crazy!
Wow my dad had the same. Blessing to have as a first pistol experience. Amazing pistol
@ He's been trying to sell it for some time. I don't think He wants a realistic $ for it.
@@J1Z06 what is he asking $?
