Dude, the fact that you have a suppressor on your bedside firearm (I assume to mitigate hearing damage if you have to neutralize a nighttime attacker and not destroy your hearing) elevates this video to Next-Level and I thank you for it!
I love it when people bring out these types of videos, after being inundated 24/7 with the politics and legislative bullcrap that we are dealing with right now. It’s very important for us to deal with the news and the problems coming down the line, but sometimes it’s nice to unplug and relax and watch videos about our hobby that are just plain fun. Thank you, Colion.
I was kind of surprised to see this uploaded after the news from the Rinos in the Senate today, but you're right: let's just unwind for a bit We've had to deal with 'that' kind of news for a while now, and Colion's probably been wanting to release something like this for a while
@@ColionNoir I stumbled upon your videos like most because I'm a supporter of 2A. I'm not sure if you've done any videos on budget guns and in the past I've stayed away from them. But certain types have really ramped up their quality and to me could compete with the likes of Springfield or Glock. I have a new carry pistol that is used by law enforcement in many other countries. I think you'll be surprised if you don't already own one. Pick up a Tisas Zigana px-9 9mm. Break it in and maybe do a budget gun type video if possible. You might like the gen 3 as much as your Springfield. The gen 2 is really well made also. They accept sig p226 mags and can have a fairly large capacity for its size. Good luck and keep up the good content. Thank you.
Im not sure, after all those other kinda vids....seeing something like this feels more like a "Hey, look what you wont be able to do any more" type of thing.
A while back, my little brother bought a S&W Shield 380 EZ for his wife. We took it to the farm and vetted it first. We both went and bought one for ourselves the next day. Never imagined I’d be a fan, but I am. Perfect carry gun.
Can confirm the P365 shoots well and is basically nonexistent even with tight shirts. I carry with the 12rd mag because I get a better grip with the extended base without too much printing. My next concealed carry purchase will be an FN 509 for when I go hiking or wear loose/thick clothing.
The p365x has the longer handle of the xl, holds 12 rounds, and is so easy to conceal. I absolutely love it. Fits perfect in my hand, easy to grab out of the holster. It's just perfect for me.
What a great gun time we live in (other than politics I mean…but in terms of options). Almost all the arguments between most pistols nowadays are pure preference and personal ergonomics. Sometimes I like the thinness of a 43x or a Shield. Sometimes I like the short, fat 26 with an extended 19 mag as a backup. Sometimes I like the sexy Sig P938. Sometimes I want the manly G20 full of 10mm in the woods. Sometimes I pocket a Sig 238 .380 when I am in sweats. And sometimes the nostalgia of a true classic 1911. Options are awesome.
@@BlueRidgeCritter I say it all the time when people brag about how reliable Glocks are. Pretty much everything is reliable now days, with rare exception s.
@@psycomutt there’s truth to that. I still prefer Glocks over the others, partly because they’re so easy to fix if something does go wrong. All the others, you end up having to send back to the motherships. But in terms of reliability, the field really has changed in the past few years. 40 or 50 years ago, one misfeed or problem in 50 rounds, and most people were perfectly happy with it. Now, we talk in terms of one in 500 rounds or more, and we agonize over that.
Sounds like solid choices to me and I carry some of the same. Belt EDC is Hellcat w/ red dot, upgraded trigger, and HYVE mag extension. Pocket gun is LCP2 upgraded trigger, guide rod and spring. Bedside is a Legion XFive, light, upgraded trigger and 21rd mag and also a DDM4 V7 with red dot and light that the girlfriend handles and shoots very well. Gotta upgrade the trigger on the DD. Seems to be a theme here.
I was against the hellcat and 365 and kept the g19 faithfully.. but what I realized after getting the 365 is that it was with me every day, not in glove box not on the nightstand cause I’m only going to the store.
I got respect for this man. Being able to carry a gun EVERYWHERE he goes. But, I do think it’s a little overkill to have a gun literally EVERYWHERE you go. But again. High respect for this man.
The Only people that don't carry absolutely everywhere are just not comfortable enough and they need to work on that. If I don't have my edc on me I'm making the Decision to put my family's life in danger. As somone who has been in 2 life or death situations trust me if you edc, then edc absolutely everywhere.
@@spydude13222Not quite. Nothing to do with comfort. Sometimes you just don't want to carry all the clunky crap with you, or you're going to a bbq and planning on having a drink with friends. I support carrying, but whenever I hear "I carry absolutely everywhere", it just seems a little paranoid. Got to live a little. Head on a swivel 24/7 is not living. Not to mention the adrenal fatigue it's causing. I guess you don't travel then either since bringing it to another country is not an option.
@@EES80people got gunned down multiple times in grocery stores/shopping centers, daily regular places… carry everywhere dude. You could “run to the car real quick” and somebody could be thirsty or cracked out going after the first person they see fit and guess where your tool is? In the box not being useful. You’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Like he said I’ve gotten into things at the most random places or timing and thankfully I had it. You never know, life/death aren’t predictable, carry.
Whoa slow down there buddy, we can't be having you defend yourself against us, The State, after defending yourself against that white supremacist. How else are we supposed to lock you up?!
Just got a 43x yesterday and just got back from my ebike while carrying it. Best EDC Gun ever. I don’t need no bells and whistles when it comes to my carry gun. This 43x is perfect, it’s big enough so I know it’s there, but small enough that it isn’t dragging my pants down or feels like it’s stabbing my gut. Basically everything I hate about carrying a fully loaded g19 disappeared when rocking the 43x. I recommend it !
@@MrFat1337 I’m 20 and I’m gonna start collecting next year when I turn 21. My first buys will be the p365x, 43x and 19x, in no specific order😂. Glad to know the 43x is exactly how I imagine it is.
Very nice selection. I have a 43X, 365 SAS, and a LCP for those same reasons. Love that the LCP can slip anywhere with a sticky holster as a trigger guard. It goes to the gym every day. Different situations require different tools for the job.
I rotated my carry from a full-size 40S&W to a subcompact 9mm. I carried that big boy for years, like 8-9 years or so and it served me very well and if ever appropriate again it will serve me again. The LC9 and EC9 are fantastic concealed carry guns, nearly invisible in an IWB holster or ankle holster
@@gemani1992 I left mine completely stock. I used range rentals to help me narrow down my search. It was a benefit. I picked a model I consistently shot well and I don’t think I want to change the trigger on it. We all do what works best for us
@@gemani1992 Similar to 308Dad I kept it almost stock; installed a 3.5lb Ghost connector and polished all the mating surfaces. Ran great with both .40 and a 9mm Lone Wolf barrel, and Trijicon night sights. Being a self-defense gun, I was hesitant to change anything that could be considered making it "more deadly" by a prosecutor.
I can say from personal experience that the P365 is an AMAZING gun. Highly accurate, highly concealable, and it just fits great in my hands. I have small hands for a dude, so it fits really good. It's almost like the developers made it for my hand. Yeah, THAT good
@@Wraith-tf5zqas a person with large hands, we appreciate guys with small hands that can do things we’re incapable of doing. That’s not something to talk down on, be proud of that shit. You don’t know how frustrating it is to try to install a part for 45 minutes and a guy will smaller hands come over and get it on in two seconds.
I have two I carry; one for winter, one for summer and then there's the master bedroom gun, office gun (next to master bedroom), first floor gun and basement guns. All my in house guns are 45s (M&P, and 1911s) my carry is a Pro Series SW1911 3", and a Performance Center SW1911 Commander. Though I seem to be carrying my Shiel 9 gen one most often, now that I have a red dot on it I too keep a pocket pistol for the rare lazy times but here in Ma it's a SW M&P 380. All the other guns are for fun because you only need ONE MORE ;)
Me and the wife are picking our first concealed carry weapons this week and also looking to get a home defense rifle, your channel and knowledge helps a lot. Great content player👌🏼
Thanks you my man for great and honest gun reviews. I watch a lot of different people give their opinions about firearms and most are very helpful but you have a unique quality and perception when it comes to how you fairly view each weapon and situation. Plus you don’t give off that overly macho and "I know it all" attitude like some. Keep up the good work!
I love my Hellcat OSP (not Pro). You can use a 15-rd mag and keep the lighter weight and smaller slide. The shorter sight radius is irrelevant if you use a red dot. I personally find the adaptive grip texture to be perfect - smooth against the torso when carrying but great traction when shooting.
I just picked up the Hellcat RDP for the same reason of keeping the grip smaller with the flush fit mag or run the extended for the Pro grip. I am comparing it to my PDP-F 3.5 which shoots great but is bigger.
I just added the Ruger Max 9 to my carry rotation. I also carry the Glock 43x, S&W Shield, Ruger LCP, & the Ruger LC9s. Sometimes when I am just in the mood for a revolver, I will carry my Ruger LCR. So far I am really liking the Max 9. Just added a Swampfox optics to it. Can’t wait to try it out at the range. And I have been a USCCA member for several years.
I had a hard time choosing my concealed carry but after shooting my FNX tactical it felt better than my S&W so I bought 509c. It has a 3.7” barrel it’s between too small and the slightly big feel. Apex makes a threaded barrel for the 3.7” so if I ever decide I want that it’s an easy swap. Also finding a compact gun that feels full size was amazing feeling and I couldn’t say no at that point lol
@@kable1173 how are you liking the shield plus? I bought it as well a couple months ago, only have shot about 35 rounds through it and I'm not sure on it now... I'm going to give it another chance at the range.
I love that my top three concealed carry options made the list. And depending on my outfit...determines what I'm carrying as well. My LCP2 usually fits my exercise routine daily. Love this video.
As a man of smaller stature, I’m somewhat limited in what I can carry concealed. My EDC rotation is 1. Taurus GX4 w/13 rd extended magazines; 2. Glock 48 w/Shield Arms S15 rd magazines, and; 3. Glock 43 w/Shield Arms S9 magazines. They’re all reliable, and meet my needs depending on what I wear.
love it! For me it's the SIG P365 or the SIG P365XL. Once I get home, and for the bedside table, I have the Walther PDP full size. The Walther also gets some love during the coldest weeks of winter. We won't talk about all the others, and yes they all have a purpose real or imaginary! 10mm, 12 gauge, 556, etc, can all be useful !
Love the bed side gun, how considerate of you to suppress it and not wake the whole hotel lol. I recently got a g45 myself, I'm a big guy so this fits me probably how the 43x fits you.
My main concealer is a Walther PPS M2. Love the way it shoots feels like a full size to me. Glock 19 is another one I carry. I would love to have a variety on carry guns for options. Great video.
I've got my tricked out CZ P07 for my bigger, do it all pistol. It's got a red dot and shoots like a dream, almost no muzzle flip. Taurus GX4 for a tiny micro with red dot that I can shoot effectively. Springfield EMP 9mm for a slim pistol that's barely bigger than the GX4 that shoots amazing. 10 rounds of 9mm can get it done, plus the extra 9 round magazine. My Colt 1908 pocket hammerless for my suit gun, the lines are perfect to avoid printing and it looks classy AF with the polished stagg horn grip. If I need concealment at all costs I've got the FN Baby Browning in .25acp. Not ideal, but better than nothing
The P365X could easily take place of the Glock G43X you're carrying, since you want the short barrel and longer grip! That's why I chose the P365X as my carry gun and with the Wilson Combat grip module with the Magguts kit and their much improved baseplates plus my Holosun 407k it's my perfect pistol!
Hey Scott...check out the Icarus new grip coming out soon called the X-Evo. Price is super high but if you mainly carry 1 gun then this will top the WC grip. Still WC is way better then stock by feel and the fact it doesn't flex when a mag isn't' inserted but if you got the money I would suggest Icarus grips. I wish they kept up with stock because I have their p320 grip and its amazing. Just throwing it out there.
I’m glad I found your channel and started binge watching your videos I just bought a LWRC IC DI for my first rifle and I can’t wait to go to the range with it! I had a smile on my face while I was at Turner’s the whole time looking at all the firearms they had and how friendly everyone was. 9 days left to go pick it up! For my next gun probably a year from now I hope it’ll be a CZ pistol or a Sig Sauer pistol that isn’t illegal lol.
I had the LCP 2 & upgraded to the LCP maxx. Definitely worth the upgrade to the maxx. Capacity increase & grip is a hair wider but makes a huge difference. The front night sight is great on the LCP maxx also
M&P Shield Plus. The smallest gun you can fight with. Sometimes a Springfield 911 in 380 as a pocket pistol. I don’t have any other 3 guns in a rotation. That’s MY preference. None of my other guns really get carried.
Nice choices. I carry a Glock 17 Gen 5 / S&W M&P 9c and they‘re both great guns. Just got the Sig P320 compact and I gotta say that might replace my S&W
@@trs_3440 I have a Sig M17, they make a very nice gun. I like Sig more than Smith for an auto loader, but my favorite revolvers are definitely from S&W.
@@actsda1357 I personally like the trigger more on the Sig. I have the M&P 2.0 compact with a stock trigger. Nice, reliable gun - I got it a little cheaper than my M17. Both guns are stock, I haven’t tried any aftermarket triggers on the either one. I’ve let a few friends try both and we all seem to be a little more accurate with the Sig - it just has in my opinion an overall better, crisper stock trigger.
Bad choice for a gas station gun. They are the most dangerous places to be at, many robberies, car jacking, etc go down in gas stations. I always want something with more capacity while at them.
I'm simple and had surgery on strong side thumb. That takes my 1911 out of picture. Sig 365xl with red dot is go to gun. More clothes with coat, Sig 320 with dot. I'm old school so I still carry a 38 6 shot with +p and 2 speed loaders. Carry that in the bushes with bird shot for snakes. That bird shot is also a fine anti carjack load with #4's. Gun owners unite!! Carry what your good with and carry what you have! A 22 in your pocket beats a 454 in your glove box!
For me, I enjoy any firearm that fits me well. All these do. I'm getting use to the Sig X 10mm. I'm sure it will be in the top 5 soon. By the way, my favorite firearm of all is my Sig Rattler 300blackout. Nothing can compare. Maybe my Aero Precision AR 10. That thing is a beast. Custom 8in barrel.
I have 4 in my rotation (Springfield 911 9mm, Walther PPS 9mm, Smith & Wesson SW99c 9mm, and Ruger LCP II). The LCP II is so easy to carry that I end up with that in my pocket 80% of the time.
The Ruger lcp is under rated in my opinion. I have never had an issue out of mine. Not once. It’s literally perfect for when I’ve got ball shorts on, going to the gym or just chillin out around the house.
@@majorpwner241 I have the original, the lcp II and the Max. The original is a fantastic gun. No problems at all besides the trigger. The II and the max are much better. But to be fair, you’re comparing it to a Glock. The lcp is indeed lighter though and much easier to carry with ball shorts. But, in the end, I agree, my 43 is an overall better gun.
When I finally got my own guns, I decided to get a full size pistol and a compact for concealed carry. The compact I went with was the P365, and I gotta say, he's spot on with the description of it. It's tiny, but for some reason, I just feel like I can snipe targets with it. It's my favorite one to shoot
I'm of the school pf thought less is more. Main carry is a Hi-Power, summer carry is a G43, backup gun is a lws380 or an airweight. That's it. Those 4 ever. And even then usually only 1 or 2 of them at a time. 5+? Too much for a guy like me but someone like Colin gdtting time and ammo for practicing with all those guns is probably easy enough so props. I just like the muscle memory of my small amount of carry guns.
Really? A hammer is a tool used on a job site. A gun is a toy used for entertainment for most people in this country, unless they happen to be in LE. Comparing the 2 is asinine.
@@gregrizzo8054 not really. A concealed Carry gun is still a tool. You may not use it every day (at least I hope not) but it's still important to select the correct tool for the job. If you're wearing sweat pants you're probably not going to be carrying a full size 1911. They can be used for entertainment obviously, going to the range is a blast. But they aren't toys. They are serious tools for a serious purpose
As someone who's 140 lbs soaking wet and also on a budget, the P365 is the do-everything for me. I'd sell my Glock 19 and 10mm 1911 before I'd get rid of this thing. It's invisible for daily with the 10 rounder, but when traveling I pop a TLR7sub and 15 rounder in and it does the job of nightstand gun fine. My small hands actually like the frame and grip size, and the snappiness people complain about is easily mitigated with proper grip and training. Sig all day long for me
Ditto brother. I have the p365 xl and it's perfect for me. I've yet to come across anything that feels better for me without sacrificing in other areas.
@@randan06 I usually use the Blackhawk Stache because of the connected mag holster. If I have a day where I need to run lighter or it's a hotter summer day and concealment is harder then I run a Crucial Concealment and stick the mag in my pocket. Both holsters have been great for me. I carry appendix
No one ever mentions the FN Compact 9. I never used one until last year. I bought it because as a machine gunner in the Marines, our 240Bs are made by FN. I love it
It's pretty sad that because I live in the lib state of NJ that I cannot get the USCCA insurance. In fact, we are not allowed to get insurance for concealed carry. Great video btw. I am in the market for a new CC and this really helped!
Finally, the Hellcat getting some deserved respect from a big online gun name. Respect to Noir for being the one. Don't know if Glock and SIG are overrated, but Springfield is definitely underrated.
@@drossi101 Pretending that the Hellcat and the XD are the only things Springfield sells in order to "prove" that Springfield deserves it's reputation lmao
@@GrantDWilliams82 Uhh their two lines of handguns? In a conversation about handguns? I wouldn’t expect any higher of an IQ from someone claiming Springfield is underrated.
@@drossi101 My comment wasn't limited to their handguns. You only pretended it was because you're a moron. But I can play that game too: why are you bringing up the XD in a conversation about micro handguns meant for concealed carry? Low IQ, I guess.
@@drossi101 bro i have the xd 9 service model, its the most reliable gun i own, never has jammed once and the build quality is great , what in the absolute fuck are you talking about,
What I love about the Sig P365 is that you can configure it to be super small for concealment, or put an XL or similar Grip on it, along with a XL or Macro slide, you have a very capable setup.
These days I wouldn't carry a pistol that needed a break-in period. Any good Glock, FN, CZ, Beretta etc should run great out of the box with nothing more than a quick once-over to remove any excess oil or add a bit as needed.
I wouldn't call it a misconception. Pistols today SHOULDN'T require a break-in period. If one does, it means they did something wrong. There are plenty of manufacturers (Glock, S&W, etc) who have proven that break-ins are unnecessary if you design the gun right.
I'm new to concealed carrying and all my handguns were too large for me to conceal. I was always printing so I decided to go out and pick up a Smith & Wesson shield Plus. I have to admit it's a lot more comfortable to carry and I am not printing anymore. Thanks for making great videos I always enjoy watching.
For what it's worth. Most average people don't notice printing. Gun people do, people with training or a Mil/LE background do, but your average person usually doesn't
@@trs_3440 I've seen some cool hip bags/fanny packs these days. I ride a motorcycle most of the time so I have a good backpack that has a 3l water blatter that is my daily carry.
Thanks for adding the FN509C, I have a 509C that I love, very accurate and shooter friendly. This gun does not get a lot of press but it is a very fine firearm. I am a precision pistol shooter and though this is not a target gun it is impressive at 25 yards. Thanks for giving a shoutout to FN!
@@KingCaz01 You really need to watch reviews for the Walther PDP-F series. Most reviews mention it's even better than the PDP. Better grip, easier reach to the best stock trigger on the market and SICK accuracy right out of the box. Walther quality is well known. Their customer service is exceptional as well.
I also like the Ruger LCP but I shoot a lot and can ignore the recoil from the small frame. A revolver is also worth considering. For the recoil sensitive a .327 magnum is nice, loaded with .32 or .32 mag. if you really want to throttle it back.
You've come so far. Your mom should be so proud of you. Your videos look like they have a whole crew of 20 people behind them. The quality is so high and refined. Your content is packed with useful information, I've never heard you say the cliche "hey guysss". You stay grounded and humble to your audience even after all your appearances on TV and fox and all the other shows. You are a class act my friend and I wish you many more successes. Keep it up!
Bodyguard 38S for me most the time. Much much easier to shoot well than my LCP Max. Am interested in a hellcat pro. Typically I carry a Canik TP9SC or a glock 19 depending on what I'm wearing. Winter I fool around and carry full sized pistols, but I could conceal an AR or PCC in the winter lol
Is there any way you can get that ability back? I know a couple “felons” who tripped up but changed their lives and have a way to regain their rights. One has to wait another 18 months but still…
the Glock 43X was my first gun and I absolutely love it. I've been training regularly with it at the range and it feels great to shoot. Thank you for the content Colion. Keep up the good work!
@@hellotheremyolfriend glock triggers inherently suck. They get better after shooting them more of course but only way to get rid of a inherently bad trigger system is a complete upgrade to like a timney trigger. I personally don’t recommend doing so on carry guns but to each his own
Excellent choices and purposes for each. I learned more than I thought I would off of this video about what and when to carry certain firearms. Thanks for all that you do for the 2A community.
LCP II is a wonderful little pistol. I have a dangerous job working with drug addicts and im not allowed to carry. so i sneak that little guy in with me. never felt unarmed with it
@@jessesimmons4503 I am wearing a t-shirt right now that says "Free men don’t ask for permission to bear arms" from a constitutional carry rally 10 years ago. Its amazing how cops don't enforce unconstitutional laws when they are outnumbered.
I'm partial to my lcp max. I wear the same kind of clothes every day for work( cargo shorts), so it's extremely easy to conceal. I also carry a get home bag to work everyday, with first aid, water, two G19's with either my MCK or sub2000.
Great list! Very helpful. I was happy and surprised to see the LCPII on the list, as that's the gun I grab the most when heading out the door. It's just so small and convenient. That P365 has my attention though!
Being on SS I can’t afford all the guns you’ve showed. With that said I find that I could afford a HI- POINT model C-9. It shoots good but I find the grips it’s a little too big for my hand. The day I bought this gun at a tractor supply store I also bought the 380. I do not carry because I don’t have a training I only have the guns for home defense. I prefer the 380 because it fits my hand better but as soon as my grandson at the time was 16 he fell in love with it and I told him when he turned 18 and graduated high school he could have it a long with my 1972 International scout II. Luckily for him he graduated this year Unlucky for me and I lost my scout and my 380 gladly. You’ll never catch that boy out deer or elk hunting without that 380 on his hip. I don’t know if you’ve ever done it but I’d like to see a video on the lower price hand guns that people on a fixed income that they can afford. Thanks John
Charter Arms Off Duty .38 Special.. Right around the same price point as a Hi-Point C9, and it won't be a 50/50 chance of malfunctioning like the aforementioned C9. Easier to conceal and fits small hands better too.
Shield Plus for me all day (until the Canik Mete MC9 comes out). I like the Hellcat but for whatever reason I don't shoot as well with it as others seem to.
I have a similar battery of carry guns. Like your selection they all operate in a similar fashion but vary in size and in some cases calibers. Keeping carry guns with the same type of operation keeps your muscle memory from training consistent.
Yep. Me too. Got it in a custom Keyhole hybrid holster. I love both. The leather is so soft against your body and the kydex job he does is incredible. I love that you choose every aspect of how you want your holster. For under $100 you can’t beat it. What were we talking about again?…
That’s one of my primary carry guns, in rotation with a G43, and S&W Bodyguard .380. All great guns in my opinion. So many great choices available to us today!
I’ve been interested in the lcp, particularly the MAX. We need more videos on different guns to use for different carries. I’m also searching for an ideal ankle carry, for when I’m working.
Got the LCP Max in a vedder pocket locker for my run to the store gun/Don't wanna carry but i should gun and I find my self reaching for it over my Gucci Glock 43x MOS, and Gucci P365X with the wilson combat p365 10 round grip module. LCP Max with 10 rounder, and 12 round reload straight disappears in the pocket and I have 23 rounds on me of 380 XTP Hollow points 🤙
I just bought the Max after having the FN, glock 19, and 365. The max fits so well in the pocket that my phone weighs down my pocket more. I found myself only carrying 60 percent of the time after I gained weight and everything was uncomfortable. The max ensures I'm armed with something at all times, which is better than the other 10 pistols I left in the safe.
I recently got an Lcp max It was totally worth it. Eliminates any reason to not have a firearm with you at all times and it’s perfect for deep concealment
In my experience it's a bad idea to add weight to your ankles. It's not an efficient load bearing part of your body and will eventually cause you significant discomfort, loss of fitness, and possibly injury. You want to keep your gear in the same place where you'd put a saddle on a horse, along your trunk. Above the hips (higher than what modern pants allow) and under your arms supported by the spine near the shoulders are where you should carry weapons and gear, if you want to do so long-term without handicapping yourself.
I've had a LCP for years and bought a LCP Max last fall. I love it. I carry it on days I'm going to be mostly at my desk or those times I just want something really light
You won't have any righys left if you don't contact the senators trying to negotiate our rights away. They have the votes, so go watch Guns and Gadgets for the list of traitors to cotact. The left is loud, and we must be louder!
The Hellcat (haven't held the Pro yet) just felt like an extension of my body like no other handgun I've ever handled. I love the irons as a newer shooter. Just can't say enough good things about it. Looks like a beast, feels even better, but everyone has their sweet spot. God bless, cheers.
I need to check out the hellcat. I carried an xds for years, but it got less and less accurate as time went along. I'm not anti glock, but I'm also not a fan...... Colion, do you have an opinion on carrying a "cheap" gun due to police seizure after having to use your gun? Or, like me, I figure that's the least of my worries? My edc lately is a kimber custom.
Love your selections, I would purchase a silencer myself but was told it's illegal to take out of state at my local gun store. As an over the road truck driver from FL in shorts it's always the lcp 2, anything with a belt it's the p320 x-compact. Retired my xds 45 and my overly heavy warthog double stack 1911. Is my local gun store wrong about crossing state lines with a can?
To this day I’m still in love with my p365 such a good all purpose gun. I usually carry with the 10 when I’m going for maximum concealment but sometimes I carry with 15 as well.
@@henrycruz45cal but he is a hero because he is taking action (creating interest in and expressing the benefits of) in support of a right that is under all-out attack. Don’t forget the esteemed position we place Hamilton, Madison, and Jay for their publications.
Granted I’m not a big gun guy, but wouldn’t the idea of having different defense guns be a bad idea? If your carrying all the time, and god forbid something should happen, your only going to have a few moments to think. Having to remember which gun you have, optic, safety style, general ergonomics, would just complicate an already stressful situation. Wouldn’t it be much more ideal to just have 1 and become extremely familiar with it?
Yup. Colion is just getting paid to shill and took the opportunity to shill a bunch of guns in one video. That's all this vid is, don't take it as useful info.
I say the same about sneakers and shoes. Why complicate things just have 1 pair and get familiarized with that pair so you can take long walks and run if you have to. Plus it’s muscle memory you know how they fit and work and go with everything you wear.
You should really pick one and standardize. I understand the gun fetish, I really do. But my rotation has been a 9mm Glock 19 and a Glock 26 consistently for over 10 years. Those two work together as a system and they are proven and extensions of my body at this point. There has been no situation, from bathing suit to tuxedo where the G26 cannot be concealed.
@Ghost he's not saying buy a Glock, he's saying pick a platform and train with it and stick with it. And that is pretty solid advice. However, I would argue that so long as you are keeping the type of firing system (DAO, DA/SA, SAO, and striker-fired), it really doesn't matter as much. Like, a FN 509C and FN 503 are similar, but not the same (the parts aren't interchangeable and some controls have been changed), but you should be able to fire and manipulate them both just fine as triggers are similar enough. I'd also say it would be okay to carry a Beretta 92G (a smaller framed / shorter slide model) and have a snub-nose revolver for deep carry, as DAO and DA/SA are going to have a similar enough first pull.
@@wheelguns4wheelmen802 thank you for understanding and clarifying my point. Glock is just my preferred example, but the standardized systems approach is exactly what I was trying to convey
I have the coyote brown 365, honestly, only like it with the "extended" mag it comes with. That's the only way I can feel comfortable with my grip. That being said, I'm a rook by some standards, and if need be, I could make do with the other mags.
My Glock 30s is my preferred daily carry.. Best carry .45 ever.. Hands down My M&P9 2.0 Compact is also great in the rotation but a little bigger.. Im gonna get the Shield Plus Pro Center I Think ... I think it has the potential to be the best mirco/sub compact 9mm.. Im a big fan of smiths.. I have a full size M&P9 2.0 and M&P45 1.0 the 9 is my SHTF Then.45 is my bedroom gun..
Dude, the fact that you have a suppressor on your bedside firearm (I assume to mitigate hearing damage if you have to neutralize a nighttime attacker and not destroy your hearing) elevates this video to Next-Level and I thank you for it!
I love it when people bring out these types of videos, after being inundated 24/7 with the politics and legislative bullcrap that we are dealing with right now. It’s very important for us to deal with the news and the problems coming down the line, but sometimes it’s nice to unplug and relax and watch videos about our hobby that are just plain fun. Thank you, Colion.
I was kind of surprised to see this uploaded after the news from the Rinos in the Senate today, but you're right: let's just unwind for a bit
We've had to deal with 'that' kind of news for a while now, and Colion's probably been wanting to release something like this for a while
Much needed!
@@ColionNoir I stumbled upon your videos like most because I'm a supporter of 2A. I'm not sure if you've done any videos on budget guns and in the past I've stayed away from them. But certain types have really ramped up their quality and to me could compete with the likes of Springfield or Glock. I have a new carry pistol that is used by law enforcement in many other countries. I think you'll be surprised if you don't already own one. Pick up a Tisas Zigana px-9 9mm. Break it in and maybe do a budget gun type video if possible. You might like the gen 3 as much as your Springfield. The gen 2 is really well made also. They accept sig p226 mags and can have a fairly large capacity for its size. Good luck and keep up the good content. Thank you.
Yeah I agree until the politicians kick you in the teeth. With b.s. law that take away our rights.
Im not sure, after all those other kinda vids....seeing something like this feels more like a "Hey, look what you wont be able to do any more" type of thing.
Once again,Mr.Noir never ceases to amaze me with his short & sweet comprehensive lists.Love it when he does these types of lists.
Yeah, he's great at getting to the message and getting out.
Thank you
A while back, my little brother bought a S&W Shield 380 EZ for his wife. We took it to the farm and vetted it first. We both went and bought one for ourselves the next day. Never imagined I’d be a fan, but I am. Perfect carry gun.
Can confirm the P365 shoots well and is basically nonexistent even with tight shirts. I carry with the 12rd mag because I get a better grip with the extended base without too much printing. My next concealed carry purchase will be an FN 509 for when I go hiking or wear loose/thick clothing.

The p365x has the longer handle of the xl, holds 12 rounds, and is so easy to conceal. I absolutely love it. Fits perfect in my hand, easy to grab out of the holster. It's just perfect for me.
Best gun overall at this point, the x fixed the grip issues of the p365
I’ve got a 507k, Wilson combat grip module and a magguts kit in it for 2 more rounds. Basically a perfect carry gun now.
My Dad carries the 365X daily and swears by it. I carry the 365xl because I don’t mind the slightly longer slide and barrel

@@strawdemindset xl is better though if you can comfortably carry it. Especially if you run the 507k and tlr7sub on it.
Never hurts to have options that fit the situations you find yourself in.
What a great gun time we live in (other than politics I mean…but in terms of options). Almost all the arguments between most pistols nowadays are pure preference and personal ergonomics. Sometimes I like the thinness of a 43x or a Shield. Sometimes I like the short, fat 26 with an extended 19 mag as a backup. Sometimes I like the sexy Sig P938. Sometimes I want the manly G20 full of 10mm in the woods. Sometimes I pocket a Sig 238 .380 when I am in sweats. And sometimes the nostalgia of a true classic 1911. Options are awesome.
@@BlueRidgeCritter I say it all the time when people brag about how reliable Glocks are. Pretty much everything is reliable now days, with rare exception s.
@@psycomutt there’s truth to that. I still prefer Glocks over the others, partly because they’re so easy to fix if something does go wrong. All the others, you end up having to send back to the motherships. But in terms of reliability, the field really has changed in the past few years. 40 or 50 years ago, one misfeed or problem in 50 rounds, and most people were perfectly happy with it. Now, we talk in terms of one in 500 rounds or more, and we agonize over that.
Sounds like solid choices to me and I carry some of the same. Belt EDC is Hellcat w/ red dot, upgraded trigger, and HYVE mag extension. Pocket gun is LCP2 upgraded trigger, guide rod and spring. Bedside is a Legion XFive, light, upgraded trigger and 21rd mag and also a DDM4 V7 with red dot and light that the girlfriend handles and shoots very well. Gotta upgrade the trigger on the DD. Seems to be a theme here.
He’s lying and I can prove it.. I’m still a fan, but you can only spin around so many times to say “ I’m dizzy!!! Top 3 ok … 5 your selling!!! What???

Thanks
Some people collect Legos, others collect watches. Colion… I think you have a problem! That’s more fun in one little briefcase than any other hobby!
I was against the hellcat and 365 and kept the g19 faithfully.. but what I realized after getting the 365 is that it was with me every day, not in glove box not on the nightstand cause I’m only going to the store.
I got respect for this man. Being able to carry a gun EVERYWHERE he goes. But, I do think it’s a little overkill to have a gun literally EVERYWHERE you go. But again. High respect for this man.
It's called edc for a reason.
The Only people that don't carry absolutely everywhere are just not comfortable enough and they need to work on that. If I don't have my edc on me I'm making the Decision to put my family's life in danger. As somone who has been in 2 life or death situations trust me if you edc, then edc absolutely everywhere.
Only time I’m not carrying is when I’m literally not allowed to carry (i.e. clubs, festivals, gov buildings, airports, etc)
@@spydude13222Not quite. Nothing to do with comfort. Sometimes you just don't want to carry all the clunky crap with you, or you're going to a bbq and planning on having a drink with friends. I support carrying, but whenever I hear "I carry absolutely everywhere", it just seems a little paranoid. Got to live a little. Head on a swivel 24/7 is not living. Not to mention the adrenal fatigue it's causing. I guess you don't travel then either since bringing it to another country is not an option.
@@EES80people got gunned down multiple times in grocery stores/shopping centers, daily regular places… carry everywhere dude.

Just got a 43x yesterday and just got back from my ebike while carrying it. Best EDC Gun ever. I don’t need no bells and whistles when it comes to my carry gun. This 43x is perfect, it’s big enough so I know it’s there, but small enough that it isn’t dragging my pants down or feels like it’s stabbing my gut. Basically everything I hate about carrying a fully loaded g19 disappeared when rocking the 43x. I recommend it !
Yeah, I currently carry a 43, and can’t wait to swap it out for the 43x when I have the opportunity.
Get the shield arms mag. Then you have the same capability as the 19

@@MrFat1337 I’m 20 and I’m gonna start collecting next year when I turn 21. My first buys will be the p365x, 43x and 19x, in no specific order😂. Glad to know the 43x is exactly how I imagine it is.
Considering I'm not rich enough to have five, the versatility of the 509 is what sold me. All I have to do for different outfits is change mags.
P365 and p320 and Glock has more versatility. Sigs can change the frames to xl or compact and Glock you can change the slides
Not right out the box. 509 for the easy win.
The 509 is so under rated. I absolutely love it. It’s been instinctive, accurate and reliable for me.
good luck the mags, supressors and red dots add up. but the fn509c is an incredibly versatile gun
Very nice I just got it
Very nice selection. I have a 43X, 365 SAS, and a LCP for those same reasons. Love that the LCP can slip anywhere with a sticky holster as a trigger guard. It goes to the gym every day. Different situations require different tools for the job.
Does it rust a lot?
@@Astar337mine does
Most elegant Firearms channel out here hands down. Untouchable content right here.
I rotated my carry from a full-size 40S&W to a subcompact 9mm. I carried that big boy for years, like 8-9 years or so and it served me very well and if ever appropriate again it will serve me again. The LC9 and EC9 are fantastic concealed carry guns, nearly invisible in an IWB holster or ankle holster
Same I rocked a Glock 23 for two decades. Then that P365XL RomeoZero changed my life.
Did you keep the same trigger for the 40? I don't like how long it is.
@@gemani1992 I left mine completely stock. I used range rentals to help me narrow down my search. It was a benefit. I picked a model I consistently shot well and I don’t think I want to change the trigger on it. We all do what works best for us
@@gemani1992 Similar to 308Dad I kept it almost stock; installed a 3.5lb Ghost connector and polished all the mating surfaces. Ran great with both .40 and a 9mm Lone Wolf barrel, and Trijicon night sights. Being a self-defense gun, I was hesitant to change anything that could be considered making it "more deadly" by a prosecutor.
I can say from personal experience that the P365 is an AMAZING gun. Highly accurate, highly concealable, and it just fits great in my hands. I have small hands for a dude, so it fits really good. It's almost like the developers made it for my hand. Yeah, THAT good
Haha, you know what they say about small hands don’t ya??
Small gloves 😉
I have the 365xl and I love it
I have the 365 xl it's my favorite cc by far.
I feel your pain man. I’ve got small hands for a guy (all the men in my family do… thanks grandpa) and the P365 also fits me like it was custom made.
@@Wraith-tf5zqas a person with large hands, we appreciate guys with small hands that can do things we’re incapable of doing. That’s not something to talk down on, be proud of that shit. You don’t know how frustrating it is to try to install a part for 45 minutes and a guy will smaller hands come over and get it on in two seconds.
I have two I carry; one for winter, one for summer and then there's the master bedroom gun, office gun (next to master bedroom), first floor gun and basement guns. All my in house guns are 45s (M&P, and 1911s) my carry is a Pro Series SW1911 3", and a Performance Center SW1911 Commander. Though I seem to be carrying my Shiel 9 gen one most often, now that I have a red dot on it
I too keep a pocket pistol for the rare lazy times but here in Ma it's a SW M&P 380.
All the other guns are for fun because you only need ONE MORE ;)
Me and the wife are picking our first concealed carry weapons this week and also looking to get a home defense rifle, your channel and knowledge helps a lot. Great content player👌🏼
Shotty for HD >
Thanks you my man for great and honest gun reviews. I watch a lot of different people give their opinions about firearms and most are very helpful but you have a unique quality and perception when it comes to how you fairly view each weapon and situation. Plus you don’t give off that overly macho and "I know it all" attitude like some. Keep up the good work!
I love my Hellcat OSP (not Pro). You can use a 15-rd mag and keep the lighter weight and smaller slide. The shorter sight radius is irrelevant if you use a red dot. I personally find the adaptive grip texture to be perfect - smooth against the torso when carrying but great traction when shooting.
I love the Walther PDP.
I just picked up the Hellcat RDP for the same reason of keeping the grip smaller with the flush fit mag or run the extended for the Pro grip. I am comparing it to my PDP-F 3.5 which shoots great but is bigger.
I just added the Ruger Max 9 to my carry rotation. I also carry the Glock 43x, S&W Shield, Ruger LCP, & the Ruger LC9s. Sometimes when I am just in the mood for a revolver, I will carry my Ruger LCR. So far I am really liking the Max 9. Just added a Swampfox optics to it. Can’t wait to try it out at the range. And I have been a USCCA member for several years.
How is the Max9?
I had a hard time choosing my concealed carry but after shooting my FNX tactical it felt better than my S&W so I bought 509c. It has a 3.7” barrel it’s between too small and the slightly big feel. Apex makes a threaded barrel for the 3.7” so if I ever decide I want that it’s an easy swap. Also finding a compact gun that feels full size was amazing feeling and I couldn’t say no at that point lol
Excatly why i got the glock 43x micro slim 9 but big enough grip for me to get a solid purchase on the frame
Man I struggled through this as well. Ended up with a smith and Wesson shield 9 plus.
Been eyeballing that hellcat pro tho
@@kable1173 how are you liking the shield plus? I bought it as well a couple months ago, only have shot about 35 rounds through it and I'm not sure on it now... I'm going to give it another chance at the range.
I love that my top three concealed carry options made the list. And depending on my outfit...determines what I'm carrying as well. My LCP2 usually fits my exercise routine daily. Love this video.
As a man of smaller stature, I’m somewhat limited in what I can carry concealed. My EDC rotation is 1. Taurus GX4 w/13 rd extended magazines; 2. Glock 48 w/Shield Arms S15 rd magazines, and; 3. Glock 43 w/Shield Arms S9 magazines. They’re all reliable, and meet my needs depending on what I wear.
love it! For me it's the SIG P365 or the SIG P365XL. Once I get home, and for the bedside table, I have the Walther PDP full size. The Walther also gets some love during the coldest weeks of winter. We won't talk about all the others, and yes they all have a purpose real or imaginary! 10mm, 12 gauge, 556, etc, can all be useful !
Got so excited when I saw the 43x, gonna pick one up here pretty soon for Summer carry !
Make sure to put a light and optic on it.
Love the bed side gun, how considerate of you to suppress it and not wake the whole hotel lol. I recently got a g45 myself, I'm a big guy so this fits me probably how the 43x fits you.
I'm pretty sure the other guests sleep quality is not as much of a reason for the suppressor compared to indoor shooting with no ear protection..

Glock 19 is another one I carry.

Great video.
Same here...
P99 for me.
G19 here. still my fav after all these years. My GEN 3 is a Tank lol with the ''frying pan'' finish too
Walther is always great choice!
Love the PPS M2 with the 7 rd magazine. Fits my hand like a glove. I’ll trade off a few rounds in capacity for the ergonomics and shootability any day
I've got my tricked out CZ P07 for my bigger, do it all pistol. It's got a red dot and shoots like a dream, almost no muzzle flip.
Taurus GX4 for a tiny micro with red dot that I can shoot effectively.
Springfield EMP 9mm for a slim pistol that's barely bigger than the GX4 that shoots amazing. 10 rounds of 9mm can get it done, plus the extra 9 round magazine.
My Colt 1908 pocket hammerless for my suit gun, the lines are perfect to avoid printing and it looks classy AF with the polished stagg horn grip.
If I need concealment at all costs I've got the FN Baby Browning in .25acp. Not ideal, but better than nothing
The P365X could easily take place of the Glock G43X you're carrying, since you want the short barrel and longer grip! That's why I chose the P365X as my carry gun and with the Wilson Combat grip module with the Magguts kit and their much improved baseplates plus my Holosun 407k it's my perfect pistol!
That’s the one I was considering.
Hey Scott...check out the Icarus new grip coming out soon called the X-Evo. Price is super high but if you mainly carry 1 gun then this will top the WC grip. Still WC is way better then stock by feel and the fact it doesn't flex when a mag isn't' inserted but if you got the money I would suggest Icarus grips. I wish they kept up with stock because I have their p320 grip and its amazing. Just throwing it out there.
I love my 365xl so much I sold my Glock 43.
Too bad the g26 is better than both the 43x and the p365x. G26 is the best CCW. Takes any and all double stack 9mm Glock mags.
I’m glad I found your channel and started binge watching your videos I just bought a LWRC IC DI for my first rifle and I can’t wait to go to the range with it! I had a smile on my face while I was at Turner’s the whole time looking at all the firearms they had and how friendly everyone was. 9 days left to go pick it up! For my next gun probably a year from now I hope it’ll be a CZ pistol or a Sig Sauer pistol that isn’t illegal lol.
I had the LCP 2 & upgraded to the LCP maxx. Definitely worth the upgrade to the maxx. Capacity increase & grip is a hair wider but makes a huge difference. The front night sight is great on the LCP maxx also
Couldn't agree more.
M&P Shield Plus. The smallest gun you can fight with. Sometimes a Springfield 911 in 380 as a pocket pistol. I don’t have any other 3 guns in a rotation. That’s MY preference. None of my other guns really get carried.
My primary EDC is a Glock 26 gen 3, my “gas station” gun is a S&W J frame. I’ve tried a lot of different guns, but I ended up liking these the most.
Nice choices. I carry a Glock 17 Gen 5 / S&W M&P 9c and they‘re both great guns. Just got the Sig P320 compact and I gotta say that might replace my S&W
@@trs_3440 I have a Sig M17, they make a very nice gun. I like Sig more than Smith for an auto loader, but my favorite revolvers are definitely from S&W.
What is it about the 320 that puts it above the M&P for you?
@@actsda1357 I personally like the trigger more on the Sig. I have the M&P 2.0 compact with a stock trigger. Nice, reliable gun - I got it a little cheaper than my M17.
Both guns are stock, I haven’t tried any aftermarket triggers on the either one. I’ve let a few friends try both and we all seem to be a little more accurate with the Sig - it just has in my opinion an overall better, crisper stock trigger.
Bad choice for a gas station gun. They are the most dangerous places to be at, many robberies, car jacking, etc go down in gas stations. I always want something with more capacity while at them.
The 43x has been my edc for years now, definitely a simple sidearm
I'm simple and had surgery on strong side thumb. That takes my 1911 out of picture. Sig 365xl with red dot is go to gun. More clothes with coat, Sig 320 with dot. I'm old school so I still carry a 38 6 shot with +p and 2 speed loaders. Carry that in the bushes with bird shot for snakes. That bird shot is also a fine anti carjack load with #4's. Gun owners unite!! Carry what your good with and carry what you have! A 22 in your pocket beats a 454 in your glove box!

Thank you for this video! I'm a fellow USCCA member and you answered some questions in this video that i've have for a few months now.
I love how you make the guns a part of your style in a sense
I have 4 in my rotation (Springfield 911 9mm, Walther PPS 9mm, Smith & Wesson SW99c 9mm, and Ruger LCP II). The LCP II is so easy to carry that I end up with that in my pocket 80% of the time.
The Ruger lcp is under rated in my opinion. I have never had an issue out of mine. Not once. It’s literally perfect for when I’ve got ball shorts on, going to the gym or just chillin out around the house.
I sold my original lcp for a Glock 42 and didn't miss it. The re-release might be nicer though.
@@majorpwner241 I have the original, the lcp II and the Max. The original is a fantastic gun. No problems at all besides the trigger. The II and the max are much better. But to be fair, you’re comparing it to a Glock. The lcp is indeed lighter though and much easier to carry with ball shorts. But, in the end, I agree, my 43 is an overall better gun.

I'm of the school pf thought less is more. Main carry is a Hi-Power, summer carry is a G43, backup gun is a lws380 or an airweight. That's it. Those 4 ever. And even then usually only 1 or 2 of them at a time. 5+? Too much for a guy like me but someone like Colin gdtting time and ammo for practicing with all those guns is probably easy enough so props. I just like the muscle memory of my small amount of carry guns.
Its like a carpenter making a video about the different hammers he takes to work depending on the job he has to do that day.
Really? A hammer is a tool used on a job site. A gun is a toy used for entertainment for most people in this country, unless they happen to be in LE. Comparing the 2 is asinine.
@@gregrizzo8054 not really. A concealed Carry gun is still a tool. You may not use it every day (at least I hope not) but it's still important to select the correct tool for the job. If you're wearing sweat pants you're probably not going to be carrying a full size 1911. They can be used for entertainment obviously, going to the range is a blast. But they aren't toys. They are serious tools for a serious purpose
@@gregrizzo8054 yet more people are murdered with hammers than pistols.
As someone who's 140 lbs soaking wet and also on a budget, the P365 is the do-everything for me. I'd sell my Glock 19 and 10mm 1911 before I'd get rid of this thing. It's invisible for daily with the 10 rounder, but when traveling I pop a TLR7sub and 15 rounder in and it does the job of nightstand gun fine. My small hands actually like the frame and grip size, and the snappiness people complain about is easily mitigated with proper grip and training. Sig all day long for me
Ditto brother. I have the p365 xl and it's perfect for me. I've yet to come across anything that feels better for me without sacrificing in other areas.
Don’t mind me asking, what holster have you been using. Not really enjoying my holster recently.
@@randan06 I usually use the Blackhawk Stache because of the connected mag holster. If I have a day where I need to run lighter or it's a hotter summer day and concealment is harder then I run a Crucial Concealment and stick the mag in my pocket. Both holsters have been great for me. I carry appendix
I carry the hellcat pro, and love/ trust it. Conceals well and feels amazing in the hands.
No one ever mentions the FN Compact 9. I never used one until last year. I bought it because as a machine gunner in the Marines, our 240Bs are made by FN. I love it
It's pretty sad that because I live in the lib state of NJ that I cannot get the USCCA insurance. In fact, we are not allowed to get insurance for concealed carry. Great video btw. I am in the market for a new CC and this really helped!
Finally, the Hellcat getting some deserved respect from a big online gun name. Respect to Noir for being the one. Don't know if Glock and SIG are overrated, but Springfield is definitely underrated.
Springfield is definitely not underrated Lmao. It’s about as rated as it deserves. The hellcat isn’t terrible, but the XD line is an embarrassment.
@@drossi101 Pretending that the Hellcat and the XD are the only things Springfield sells in order to "prove" that Springfield deserves it's reputation lmao
@@GrantDWilliams82 Uhh their two lines of handguns? In a conversation about handguns? I wouldn’t expect any higher of an IQ from someone claiming Springfield is underrated.
@@drossi101 My comment wasn't limited to their handguns. You only pretended it was because you're a moron.
But I can play that game too: why are you bringing up the XD in a conversation about micro handguns meant for concealed carry? Low IQ, I guess.
@@drossi101 bro i have the xd 9 service model, its the most reliable gun i own, never has jammed once and the build quality is great , what in the absolute fuck are you talking about,
I only just use the one, but if I ever want to feel bougie I may consider having a rotation.
Need a change of lifestyle if that many guns are needed 🤣
The hellcat pro is a one the greatest ccw pistols to have ever been designed. Great video
What I love about the Sig P365 is that you can configure it to be super small for concealment, or put an XL or similar Grip on it, along with a XL or Macro slide, you have a very capable setup.
FN509 was pure excellence out of the box. Infact, it gave me the misconception that all pistols just work out of the box and don't need a break in.
Should be number 1 on this list. A lot of people sleep on the 509. Especially glock fanboys.
These days I wouldn't carry a pistol that needed a break-in period. Any good Glock, FN, CZ, Beretta etc should run great out of the box with nothing more than a quick once-over to remove any excess oil or add a bit as needed.
I wouldn't call it a misconception. Pistols today SHOULDN'T require a break-in period. If one does, it means they did something wrong. There are plenty of manufacturers (Glock, S&W, etc) who have proven that break-ins are unnecessary if you design the gun right.
@@robertsims9201 Glock fanboys bash every gun, that’s just normal. But with that being said, FNs are garbage.
@@drossi101Garbage? You even shoot bro? F outta here with that B.S.
I'm new to concealed carrying and all my handguns were too large for me to conceal. I was always printing so I decided to go out and pick up a Smith & Wesson shield Plus. I have to admit it's a lot more comfortable to carry and I am not printing anymore.
Thanks for making great videos I always enjoy watching.
I mostly carry a M&P 9c or Sig P320 compact inside my IWB holster but got this fanny pack holster for carrying my Glock 17 and it’s pretty good too
it also fits my ID and permit plus some pepper spray and ofc a full size Glock which is great
For what it's worth. Most average people don't notice printing. Gun people do, people with training or a Mil/LE background do, but your average person usually doesn't
@@mr.browning7.624 good to know. But I'm super conscious of it.
@@trs_3440 I've seen some cool hip bags/fanny packs these days. I ride a motorcycle most of the time so I have a good backpack that has a 3l water blatter that is my daily carry.
Thanks for adding the FN509C, I have a 509C that I love, very accurate and shooter friendly. This gun does not get a lot of press but it is a very fine firearm. I am a precision pistol shooter and though this is not a target gun it is impressive at 25 yards. Thanks for giving a shoutout to FN!
Worth getting for my first conceal carry? I have a 19x but isn’t cutting it
@@KingCaz01 I’d look into an H&K or a Glock instead
@@KingCaz01 FNs are garbage. Definitely better guns out there.
@@KingCaz01 You really need to watch reviews for the Walther PDP-F series.
Most reviews mention it's even better than the PDP.
Better grip, easier reach to the best stock trigger on the market and SICK accuracy right out of the box.
Walther quality is well known.
Their customer service is exceptional as well.
I also like the Ruger LCP but I shoot a lot and can ignore the recoil from the small frame. A revolver is also worth considering. For the recoil sensitive a .327 magnum is nice, loaded with .32 or .32 mag. if you really want to throttle it back.
I love ur vids cuz you speak so much clearer then others and your attitude feels very educational and friendly. Keep making vids
This video is dope af! I gotta find some lessons in my area- they just start making it easier to get your permit in ny
You've come so far. Your mom should be so proud of you. Your videos look like they have a whole crew of 20 people behind them. The quality is so high and refined. Your content is packed with useful information, I've never heard you say the cliche "hey guysss". You stay grounded and humble to your audience even after all your appearances on TV and fox and all the other shows. You are a class act my friend and I wish you many more successes. Keep it up!
Glory to Ukraine
A big +1 on that. Slick and waay kewl.
Bodyguard 38S for me most the time. Much much easier to shoot well than my LCP Max. Am interested in a hellcat pro. Typically I carry a Canik TP9SC or a glock 19 depending on what I'm wearing.
Winter I fool around and carry full sized pistols, but I could conceal an AR or PCC in the winter lol
Man I really wish I could possess a firearm! Know that I still pull for everyone’s right to do so even though I can’t.

Is there any way you can get that ability back? I know a couple “felons” who tripped up but changed their lives and have a way to regain their rights. One has to wait another 18 months but still…
I know a guy that just got his back as well.

@@gemayeljones248 I think full restitution for your crime restores your right to carry. I.e. all fines and penalties have to be repaid
“Tactical Polyamory” 😂 … that’s a t-shirt I’d buy! ❤
The best part of the sig is that it goes off randomly in your holster, like a surprise birthday party.
the Glock 43X was my first gun and I absolutely love it. I've been training regularly with it at the range and it feels great to shoot.
Thank you for the content Colion. Keep up the good work!
I love the size of the gun, but the trigger is a bit stiff on mine.. does it ever get broken in?
@@hellotheremyolfriend glock triggers inherently suck. They get better after shooting them more of course but only way to get rid of a inherently bad trigger system is a complete upgrade to like a timney trigger. I personally don’t recommend doing so on carry guns but to each his own
@@allenshamon442 ah, good to know it gets broken in after a while. thx.
Excellent choices and purposes for each. I learned more than I thought I would off of this video about what and when to carry certain firearms. Thanks for all that you do for the 2A community.
LCP II is a wonderful little pistol. I have a dangerous job working with drug addicts and im not allowed to carry. so i sneak that little guy in with me. never felt unarmed with it
Free men don’t ask for permission.
@@jessesimmons4503 I am wearing a t-shirt right now that says "Free men don’t ask for permission to bear arms" from a constitutional carry rally 10 years ago. Its amazing how cops don't enforce unconstitutional laws when they are outnumbered.
Lmao what’s your job? I’m guessing rehab center?
I'm partial to my lcp max. I wear the same kind of clothes every day for work( cargo shorts), so it's extremely easy to conceal. I also carry a get home bag to work everyday, with first aid, water, two G19's with either my MCK or sub2000.
That little hotel suppressor setup was sick.
Great list! Very helpful. I was happy and surprised to see the LCPII on the list, as that's the gun I grab the most when heading out the door. It's just so small and convenient. That P365 has my attention though!
P365 is magic. Shoots so flat for a small gun. It almost doesn't make sense.
Being on SS I can’t afford all the guns you’ve showed. With that said I find that I could afford a HI- POINT model C-9. It shoots good but I find the grips it’s a little too big for my hand. The day I bought this gun at a tractor supply store I also bought the 380. I do not carry because I don’t have a training I only have the guns for home defense. I prefer the 380 because it fits my hand better but as soon as my grandson at the time was 16 he fell in love with it and I told him when he turned 18 and graduated high school he could have it a long with my 1972 International scout II. Luckily for him he graduated this year Unlucky for me and I lost my scout and my 380 gladly. You’ll never catch that boy out deer or elk hunting without that 380 on his hip. I don’t know if you’ve ever done it but I’d like to see a video on the lower price hand guns that people on a fixed income that they can afford. Thanks John
Or just a $100 more and get a police trade in Glock that won’t get you killed.
@Mike 1979 Glock 21? You .45 ACP fanboys...
Taurus g series is great if you’re on a budget
The Ruger LCP is cheap and a reliable brand and Top notch customer service PSA website had it for $299 memorial day
Charter Arms Off Duty .38 Special.. Right around the same price point as a Hi-Point C9, and it won't be a 50/50 chance of malfunctioning like the aforementioned C9. Easier to conceal and fits small hands better too.

Shield Plus for me all day (until the Canik Mete MC9 comes out). I like the Hellcat but for whatever reason I don't shoot as well with it as others seem to.
I have a similar battery of carry guns. Like your selection they all operate in a similar fashion but vary in size and in some cases calibers. Keeping carry guns with the same type of operation keeps your muscle memory from training consistent.
Awesome rotation!! I'm slowly getting to that point. Right now... I have a 3 gun rotation out of the 5 that I own. 😎😎😉🙂
I started carrying the M&P Shield Plus. Small size while maintaining good mag capacity. Decent accuracy for it's size and great "hand feel".
I carry the same.
Yep. Me too. Got it in a custom Keyhole hybrid holster. I love both. The leather is so soft against your body and the kydex job he does is incredible. I love that you choose every aspect of how you want your holster. For under $100 you can’t beat it. What were we talking about again?…
That’s my EDC IWB with the EZ 2.0 Shield 8 with 1 in the pipe
EZ 9 2.0… EDC… I rotate holsters… OWB… kydex for around the house, work or winter… leather for as concealed as it gets , summertime
That’s one of my primary carry guns, in rotation with a G43, and S&W Bodyguard .380. All great guns in my opinion. So many great choices available to us today!
I’ve been interested in the lcp, particularly the MAX. We need more videos on different guns to use for different carries. I’m also searching for an ideal ankle carry, for when I’m working.
Got the LCP Max in a vedder pocket locker for my run to the store gun/Don't wanna carry but i should gun and I find my self reaching for it over my Gucci Glock 43x MOS, and Gucci P365X with the wilson combat p365 10 round grip module. LCP Max with 10 rounder, and 12 round reload straight disappears in the pocket and I have 23 rounds on me of 380 XTP Hollow points 🤙
I just bought the Max after having the FN, glock 19, and 365. The max fits so well in the pocket that my phone weighs down my pocket more. I found myself only carrying 60 percent of the time after I gained weight and everything was uncomfortable. The max ensures I'm armed with something at all times, which is better than the other 10 pistols I left in the safe.
I recently got an Lcp max It was totally worth it. Eliminates any reason to not have a firearm with you at all times and it’s perfect for deep concealment
In my experience it's a bad idea to add weight to your ankles. It's not an efficient load bearing part of your body and will eventually cause you significant discomfort, loss of fitness, and possibly injury. You want to keep your gear in the same place where you'd put a saddle on a horse, along your trunk. Above the hips (higher than what modern pants allow) and under your arms supported by the spine near the shoulders are where you should carry weapons and gear, if you want to do so long-term without handicapping yourself.
I've had a LCP for years and bought a LCP Max last fall. I love it. I carry it on days I'm going to be mostly at my desk or those times I just want something really light
Awesome. Honestly you are the person who sold me on the Glock 43x it seems to be the best of both worlds shootability and concealablity
bruh the audio with headphones is spot on . nice video , this my first time visiting I will definitely sub

The Hellcat (haven't held the Pro yet) just felt like an extension of my body like no other handgun I've ever handled. I love the irons as a newer shooter. Just can't say enough good things about it. Looks like a beast, feels even better, but everyone has their sweet spot. God bless, cheers.
I need to check out the hellcat. I carried an xds for years, but it got less and less accurate as time went along. I'm not anti glock, but I'm also not a fan......
Colion, do you have an opinion on carrying a "cheap" gun due to police seizure after having to use your gun? Or, like me, I figure that's the least of my worries?
My edc lately is a kimber custom.
That’s part of the reason I carry a Taurus G2C. 100% reliable and if the damn cops try to steal it again I’m not out the price of a DW, or Kimber!
I wonder what case that was. Love the videos, Colion! Your content is what is getting me interested in the firearm community!
concealed carry is now in fact more attainable in California, im about to cry, i can get my ccw now and carry my G19X when i get it
Love your selections, I would purchase a silencer myself but was told it's illegal to take out of state at my local gun store. As an over the road truck driver from FL in shorts it's always the lcp 2, anything with a belt it's the p320 x-compact. Retired my xds 45 and my overly heavy warthog double stack 1911. Is my local gun store wrong about crossing state lines with a can?
I want everyone to know I'm in a gun fight.
I cant replace my XDS 3.3 .45cal yet...expensive but durable as hell
To this day I’m still in love with my p365 such a good all purpose gun. I usually carry with the 10 when I’m going for maximum concealment but sometimes I carry with 15 as well.
I’ve said this before but it needs to be said again: You are a role model and a hero and an invaluable asset to our country. Thank you for all you do.

Just leaving a comment to support this great channel.
What case do you use to hold all of your handguns? I like it a lot. Very well organized.
As Hellcat Pro owner myself, I was most pleased to see that it was first on your list. Keep on keepin on, Colion.
Granted I’m not a big gun guy, but wouldn’t the idea of having different defense guns be a bad idea? If your carrying all the time, and god forbid something should happen, your only going to have a few moments to think. Having to remember which gun you have, optic, safety style, general ergonomics, would just complicate an already stressful situation. Wouldn’t it be much more ideal to just have 1 and become extremely familiar with it?
It's not that complicated, just stay focused.
Yup. Colion is just getting paid to shill and took the opportunity to shill a bunch of guns in one video. That's all this vid is, don't take it as useful info.
Not that hard . I rotate a revolver and 2 semi auto
Yeah your right your not a gun guy, your comment shows
I say the same about sneakers and shoes. Why complicate things just have 1 pair and get familiarized with that pair so you can take long walks and run if you have to. Plus it’s muscle memory you know how they fit and work and go with everything you wear.
You should really pick one and standardize. I understand the gun fetish, I really do. But my rotation has been a 9mm Glock 19 and a Glock 26 consistently for over 10 years. Those two work together as a system and they are proven and extensions of my body at this point. There has been no situation, from bathing suit to tuxedo where the G26 cannot be concealed.
G26 is obsolete nowadays. Some many better options and many smaller than the 19
@Ghost he's not saying buy a Glock, he's saying pick a platform and train with it and stick with it. And that is pretty solid advice. However, I would argue that so long as you are keeping the type of firing system (DAO, DA/SA, SAO, and striker-fired), it really doesn't matter as much. Like, a FN 509C and FN 503 are similar, but not the same (the parts aren't interchangeable and some controls have been changed), but you should be able to fire and manipulate them both just fine as triggers are similar enough. I'd also say it would be okay to carry a Beretta 92G (a smaller framed / shorter slide model) and have a snub-nose revolver for deep carry, as DAO and DA/SA are going to have a similar enough first pull.
I mean Glocks are complete shit. But besides that, yeah.
@Ghost you totally missed my point about picking a system and standardization. Glock was an example
@@wheelguns4wheelmen802 thank you for understanding and clarifying my point. Glock is just my preferred example, but the standardized systems approach is exactly what I was trying to convey
Thanks for this informative video bro. I’m in between the P365 and the Glock 43X for my first gun.
I have the coyote brown 365, honestly, only like it with the "extended" mag it comes with.
That's the only way I can feel comfortable with my grip. That being said, I'm a rook by some standards, and if need be, I could make do with the other mags.
My Glock 30s is my preferred daily carry.. Best carry .45 ever.. Hands down
My M&P9 2.0 Compact is also great in the rotation but a little bigger.. Im gonna get the Shield Plus Pro Center I Think ... I think it has the potential to be the best mirco/sub compact 9mm.. Im a big fan of smiths.. I have a full size M&P9 2.0 and M&P45 1.0 the 9 is my SHTF
Then.45 is my bedroom gun..
