Hey everyone. There has been a lot of commentary about the 365 (we have a presentation on it). The 365 is a striker action with a very light trigger pull, lighter than some single actions I have fired.
In my opinion it has a higher chance of negligent discharge due to unintentional finger on the trigger than other strikers like most Glocks. So... If you get a 365 make sure you carry it in the proper holster that covers the trigger and I would prefer the version of the 365 that has the manual safety.
Very true, I have the XL. A holster that covers the trigger is a MUST. It is a very light trigger for a striker fire. It makes shooting it quite nice though.
He canik TP9. Is a great choice
Cz p10c is an better choice hands down
Although it would be unlikely somebody would be able to take your handgun, the Blackhawk has the pro of if you arent familiar with guns it is somewhat complex to operate. So somebody who might take it may not be able to use it in their favor.
Hey Paul I really appreciate your videos and you giving us your years and years of experience some new gun owners can only go off our own research which a lot of times is biased based on the source or we can go off other people's experiences and I love hearing your point of view on firearms thank you for your time as always keep up the good work
Big fan of the “boring part” where Paul talks.
Same here.
The "boring part" is usually filled with wisdom. The other parts are just information.
When Paul Harrell goes to donate blood, he declines the syringe, and instead requests a hand gun and a bucket.
@@philais wrong, he'd have a presentation on which gun he would use to collect blood.
Me too, I never skip it
I love the boring part.
"OK, for those that are still here-"
No one skipped ahead, Paul. We're all still here. lol
I skipped to 11:52
Lone_Condor Yep.. I stayed in class too. 😉
BR5499a heathen
Exactly. There are no boring parts.
He's like every hot chick that thinks she's ugly
Going to miss this guy. Anyone else watching his back catalogue?
Always been watching the back catalogue. Too good
Yes, I am rewatching many of Paul's presentations.
Yep same here. He's a perennial favorite.
who ever stopped? ;(
@@SPIKESPIEGEL1969 yeah unless some crazy revolutions happen in the firearms industry happens soon this information is timeless
When he says "Beretta 92FS caliber 9x19 it's got a capacity of 15 plus 1, it's a double to single action autoloader, it's accurate and it's supremely reliable" I'm like: "Ah yes. The Samurai's Edge."
as a gun guy smith and dealer of 25+ years , a beretta 92 is STILL my favorite pistol platform
If you can battle umbrella and the t/g virus with the beretta than it’s good enough for me
@@clintsingleton3846 The 92FS and the P226 both passed all the military testing. They’re both great pistol designs. Having shot both on several occasions, I prefer the Beretta. It helps if the one you’re shooting isn’t a worn out, beat up, old, unmaintained one.
@@clintsingleton3846 worth noting that beretta produces guns in both Italy and the US, and that the Italian ones are known for high quality but beretta USA is infamous for churning out a lot of crap. Beretta USA supplied some of our military M9s, so I think between that and the sheer amount of time they were being used and not replaced goes a long way towards explaining why so many people have such diverse opinions on it with very little middle ground.
@@clintsingleton3846 I enjoyed shooting it while I was in. A lot of them are really beat up and not maintained properly though, that's more of a marine issue than it is an issue with the pistol itself lol
The boring part is the whole reason we like Paul. There's a million knuckle heads shooting guns on UA-cam who couldn't articulate an informational sentence.
Paul and Ian McCollum (McCollom?) Are my two only real firearm YTers I watch.
What?
Like James Yeager, Yankee Marshal, and those idiots at Iraq veteran?
@@chadhaire1711 exactly. There are worse offenders out there, those guys are the cream of the crop for dipshits.
except Paul the gun philosopher
Ian the pioneer
Larry the ancient expert
Brandon the crazy AK guy
the others are just brainless shooters , with less moving parts than the guns they use
I’m convinced his jacket pockets are magical realms full of guns.
Coat of holstering
His pocket contains the gun room from The Matrix
Paul Harrell's jacket is like Deadpool's magic bag full of guns. Hmm... there's an idea. A Paul Harrell and Deadpool crossover.
Switzerland is actually located in the game bag. They just claim it's in Europe because it's easier to explain.
Paul’s pocket is actually a “bag of holding”.
As a Brit, Paul is the American uncle I wish I'd had growing up who I'd look forward to visiting every summer, because we'd get to do really cool, fun and educational stuff.
As a city dwelling Australian, I feel the same.
This is like having a dad to teach you about guns and then practical life advice. Like genuinely one of the best channels I've ever found
couldn't agree more
You know Paul is ol school...he keeps that Army issue earplug case snapped on his bottomless pocket jacket! Love it!
"Statistics are easy to get. Accurate statistics are hard to come by"
Now that's a T-shirt!!
99.9% of statisticians, will not buy that shirt.
Accurate quotes are even harder.
100% of people are people.
How about this one: There’s liars, then damn liars and then there’s statistics.
@@mpp7010 Classic!
The “mentally ill person thinking your house is their CIA safe house” scenario was oddly specific
My profession was in mental health so I understand how likely this one could be...LOL...I did have my life threatened more than once by folks who thought I was someone else when they were psychotic...
I believe this really happened to Paul, he’s mentioned it before.
Some lives are more exciting than others.
I make my living as a locksmith. You'd be surprised at the number of clients I've had (widely spread out over Texas and New Mexico) that have the same story about little people that live in their ceiling coming down and stealing their keys during the night. I've even had a mother/daughter tag team that lined their rooms with foil to keep out the CIA's "listening rays" and wanting high security locks to keep the CIA and drug cartels from picking their locks.Yeah, these people are out there, and not few and far between. And don't even get me started about the lady with little people living in her sofa who had a "doctor" poop in her hands while performing an operation at her dining room table. True stories.
you joke but I've had it happen...scary encounter
The most well-spoken, critically thinking gun channel on youtube, hands down!
There are lot's of others talking about some weird dooms day forecasts and recommending weapons for that scenerio. Lots of BS to generate clicks, but i still enjoy the weapon content that comes along with it.
You have a fun username
Check out InRange and Forgotten Weapons with Ian McCullom. C&Rsenal is also great.
Nice pfp
@@kolyapankratz8616 Was about to comment the exact same thing. Those channels are great!
Paul H to me is the "gold standard" for detailed and unbiased reviews. I go to him first for input, advice.
Fact. He also doesn't tell you that you need to buy this or that. This is what he likes. Take it or leave it.
bad analogy, you see 'gold standards' only apply to currency
"Boring" translates to "part that we should ALL listen to because we might actually learn something important besides 'haha, handgun go booooooooooom."
I can't remember ever getting bored when Paul talks.
Just once I want to see Paul say, "I invite you to skip ahead to where you see me in the low ready with a handgun." (Pause) "Nah, just kidding. Let's get to shooting!"
But I'll never skip one of his "boring" parts. I'm here to learn, not just watch someone shoot better than I ever will.
Where I live people don't even have guns, yet I still enjoy listening to harrel I don't know what it is he's just so professional in all his videos and he doesn't tolerate any BS.
that’s when someone has a negligent discharge and then proceeds to blame it on the handgun
When Paul says "This is the boring part": It's the part I should pay attention to. When Paul says "This is NOT a recommendation" : I take it as a recommendation.
Well that's because they are recommendations. I understand Paul doesn't want to present his opinions as facts or get into arguments with people over them and that's why he gives those disclaimers, but just a glimpse at a dictionary shows us:
recommend
put forward (someone or something) with approval as being suitable for a particular purpose or role.
That describes the video pretty accurately. Saying it's "not a recommendation" while giving recommendations is bit of a cop out, like having your cake and eating it too. I get why he'd do it, but I think the "my training, my experience..." disclaimer should be sufficient by itself.
Treat the main stream news like that and you will be better off.
It's tough code but you cracked it!
Everyone's needs are different. I live in Texas, so my XDM 9mm 3.8 compact is not the best carry gun for me, as I am thin, usually wear light clothes. It prints loudly and its not very light in my opinion. It is however accurate and very reliable. It will work great in the winter when I'll actually carry it everywhere.
@@poika22 Hey poika, these are NOT recommendations. I'm showing the guns that I have and not suggesting that you should buy any of them. Did you really think I was suggesting that you should buy a Steyr?
Paul's choice of aftershave, Hoppes No 9
In my younger days, I wanted to sell men's colognes scented like Hoppes No 9 and WD 40
Hoppes No 9 favorite aftershave, Paul Harrell.
hahaha...this made me literally LOL! I needed it so thank you sir!
I use Diesel Kleen myself. Hard to fight the women off!
@@chuckaddison5134 I actually wear wd40 as a cologne. No joke at all. I wish went into that venture as id be your number one customer. Add in that pine tree car air freshener scent and you'd be rich!
Im sorry but the "local pervo, rapo, murderer" had me in stitches
oof that sounds unpleasant, did you call the cops on him?
So true in many places
Paul looks like he lived in a timeline where 1980’s red dawn happened and he survived and came to our timeline to prepare us.
Come with me if you want to live! To quote another 80s flick :)
Omg I can’t unsee it
Why did this make me laugh so much...
This comment made my day.
Hes the guy that helped out Pat Swayze and the gang. "WOLVERINES!"
The only gun chanel, where i dont skip the Talking 😂
Harrell is a thinking persons channel. Not brainless immature entertainment.
@@LuvBorderCollies Yeah, you have to listen and keep up or you get left in the dust!
@@darkwater1967 Funny thing he is always concerned about his talking but there`s a lot of good info and knowledge right there, just like you, this is the only gun channel I don`t skip the talking :)
There are other gun channels?
@@LuvBorderCollies true that
If there is such a thing as a "professor of guns," you have it, Paul.
NO, he keeps telling us that he is not expecting us to copy him, unlike weird peter principal academics
All seasoned viewers know this but for new viewers, DO NOT ever skip the “boring part”!! Precious information is always included
Yes, the “boring part” is why he has so many followers. Pure wisdom can be found here.
What he calls a flyer at 25 yards is a tight group for me.
Take that group any day at 25 yards.
Yeah. My groups are on planet “scrub”
I wouldn't even be on the paper at 25 yards. Maybe if I got lucky I'd get one round on it in the far left corner lol.
Me too. Lol
Hell, that's a tight group for me @25 feet!
Poor Paul. He has to spend the first minute and a half explaining stuff because he knows if he doesn't he'll get flooded with hate comments.
You rock, Paul. Keep up the good work.
Then people spam comments saying “ACKSHULLEE HES STILL RECOMMENDING GUNS STILL BY USING BLANK BLANK BLANK” even though he shows such a diverse amount of guns and explains so many contextual bits that shooters may not know about
Strangely I've never seen a hate comment on any of Paul's videos. Can a video poster delete them? I wouldn't know, I've never posted a video.
@lesflynn4455 dunno abt that however fellow commenters could report and yt in my experience has been proficient all of that said the hate mails i believe is constant.
I feel like the "Go with what you know" tip can actually be visually observed in this video. Even across recommended handguns, it seems like Paul's confidence with the Baretta platform can be seen in real time. Time between shots, target acquisition, and posture seem to be so comfortable he almost starts actions before the previous one has finished, regardless of caliber, like he gets into position before the gun itself quite gets there. The differences might be individually negligible, but for this to be something visible in a professional would suggest to me a greater overall benefit for people who are less familiar with firearms in general.
I’m literally the guy in AZ wearing flip flops with the LCP haha. My “Noisy Cricket” has been a constant companion for me and a reliable tool for protection. Great video Paul.
Good to meet you fellow LCP toting AZ Flip Flop man
How has it proved itself to be a reliable protection tool? Have you ever used it? Whether that's simply displaying it or actually firing it.
@@yeoremuthare677 I’ve carried the LCP for many years and have a lot of range time with it. It’s very convenient to pocket carry throughout the year. It’s got much more travel time than my other firearms. Highly recommended.
@@spookbuster4862 Haha likewise
My granddaughter listened to Paul Harrell "the boring part where I talk" while in the womb.
Im happy to report she will be graduating marine corps basic training soon, just in time for her 6th birthday.
😂
ew
Isn't that child abuse?
Her first word was 'Semper', followed by 'Fi'.
@@chrishill1286 no, its not like mom let her listen to Yankee Marshall.
Am I the only one who finds the sections where Paul shoots the boring ones?
I like where he explains what he thinks and his justification for his choices more.
Nope.
I find the chronograph portions boring, mostly cuz my impatience wants him to get to the end where he gives us the results.
@@CMDRFandragon Yeah, Just out of curiosity, do you play Elite Dangerous?
I like the meat target. The chronograph bores me silly. I trust him to give me the results, I don't need them called off one at a time for ten or forty or more shots.
@@adityaparam8736 Nope, never played a single second of that game.
Thanks for existing Paul. This channel has really helped me out alot and got me really into firearms to the point where i applied to companies and hope to contribute to the engineering behind them
What is best about Paul's videos is that he actually teaches people the thought process of selecting a particular gun.
Everyone sit down and shut up
Paul's gonna talk.
We love him. He is like the father of logic.
"Let's get to the boring part, where I talk"
Me: What boring parts? XD
BigRick Smith: Paul is never boring!
Thank you Paul for all the videos, I have recently discovered your channel and am thankful for the information you provide. As a former serviceman your teaching method is fantastic, keep up the good work!
Paul, you're opinions, experiences and knowledge are the best part of the videos. Excellent Brother
Ya know, theres not much on YT that makes my day better than "we're out on the range today"!
Take a moment to appreciate the serenity of that location where Paul is.
All I can think about is all the ticks. ☹️ I got Lyme disease and now I have a phobia of tall grass.
@@a.hollins8691 Sorry to hear -- but shouldn't you be less worried now that you have it? Although I guess there's different kinds that can give you different illnesses.
Ticks are a major problem where I live and I share your phobia of tall or even medium grass.
I was thinking the same thing. Standing in that high grass.I never had Lyme disease but have had two dogs that have. Creeps me out.
That’s Pacific Northwest baybeeeee
Your calm and clear verbal expression is relaxing and articulated. For non native English speakers like me, your videos are a treat... Thank you Sir.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience. I'm always impressed by how much information you can communicate effectively. Never gets boring or overwhelming. I also greatly admire your choices concerning how you put things. Often times, knowledgeable people can be generous with their time and effort, but with your videos we get all of that PLUS your great care in making sure you are making yourself properly understood.
Underrated fact: Harrel does these videos ad lib with no notes or teleprompter.
I had never thought any differently
And he stares into your soul with that "no break eye contact" technique 😄
Hearing him ramble off lists of ammunition without stuttering is always impressive to me, I'd read it off the box and probably still not be able to say it as fast as harrel can
Brian Kopp High IQ for sure.
kiloscott Thanks, genius. Pretty sure I know that. I’ve heard him say it 100 times. The point is his unique ability to know this stuff and recite it from memory. Not 2 out of 100 professional firearms instructors can do it like he does.
"The Yankee Marshall likes to talk about politics...Johnny B likes to talk about politics- and HES good at it..." Paul once again restores my confidence in mankind.

@@articwhite653 I stopped watching him awhile ago.

Me: I just want to shoot and grill.
@@articwhite653 I started watching him when my interest in guns was renewed. I watched 2-3 episodes and stopped because he is a douchebag.

@@forestcampbell8962 🤣
I just got here from that video🤣
Good gawd. Only true fans will get the reference. Hats off, sir.
I learned early on, carry the largest gun that you will actually carry and a gun you shoot well. Dress around the gun and make sure you have a good belt and holster. So here I am in the Deep South and carry a stainless commander size 1911 every day with two extra mags and have no issues with concealment or being uncomfortable. For many years my family didn’t even know I carried a gun let alone ole slabsides, but I like it and I’m confident with it and that goes a long way over how many rounds the mag holds.
An all-steel Commander is my carry of choice as well.
Also in Deep South on a long sandbar. I selected pocket carry for overall comfort and convenience.
I carry a 1911 Colt XSE open and concealed. I've done so for the last 20 years. Prior to Texas implementing our CHL, I was carrying a .44mag Redhawk about the farm, and later concealed. But with a 7.5" barrel, it was pretty obvious when carrying in a shoulder holster.
That's great that it works for you. I do carry a full size most of the time. There have been times where if I got caught with a gun would have meant I would be fired, even though it wasn't illegal, it was against company policy. Always a good thing to have a small option, even when preference is for bigger.
I LOVE my government model Colt. I live in CT, so mag capacity is of no consequence. The slim design makes it easy to conceal even with my slight frame and the thing is accurate as heck.
Thank you for addressing the CHANGED ISSUE
@Simply The Best WE DIDN’T DO EAR PROTECTION IN THE 60’S!
Paul...Spot on as usual. Thank you for NO ADS and OUTSTANDING information
*Inferred it as a personal recommendation and bought all the guns*
😄😄😄
lol
50% of viewers lmao
I plan to accept Paul's recommendations and do same
YOU WERE THE JUDGE!
I see how he's the Bob Ross of the firearms community. He always stand in what could've been a Bob Ross painting.
Happy little trees everywhere! 🌲 🌲 🌲
Not enough snow for a Bob Ross painting. He loved to paint pictures that reminded him of when he was stationed in Alaska.
Bob Ross? Really? "Let's put a bullet there. And give it a friend, too. Everyone needs a friend. There. Now, you can put those bullets wherever you want. Wherever you want. There are no mistakes, just happy little accidents."
I never noticed that until you pointed it out, and now I can never unsee it. Sincerely, thank you.
He’s the Bob Ross of Firearms due to his smoothing Voice, Being a Great Teacher, and his Extensive Knowledge !!!!!
Listening to you talk is never boring, I find it very informative and value your opinions and your mind is close enough to greatness to suite me. keep up the amazing videos and stay safe.
Great video !!! I especially like how you are a proponent of the MANUAL SAFETY. Anyone who spent time as an 11 series soldier or an 03 series marine should be a champion of the manual safety.
Paul: You can skip the boring part
Comments section: What boring part?
the worst part of the video is when i see video cards and a channel card at the end because then its officially over
11:59 Beretta 92fs
12:41 SIG Sauer M17
13:43 Steyr GB
14:42 Beretta m9 22lr
16:05 Ruger-57
17:05 SIG Sauer P365
18:01 Ruger Blackhawk
You do god's work, son
Ruger still has the convertible Blackhawks in their online catalog. Available in a pretty wide variety of offerings and calibers. Very good gun. I sure regret ever selling mine.
I told my wife I need these five guns. She didn't get the humor.
Thank you
doc hall not with ammo you can buy, the armor piercing variety is atf restricted.
Paul, I was gifted by my late uncle a Ruger bear cat revolver in 22 cal it was my first pistol and no doubt a huge fan of the classics. THANK YOU!!
Absolutely love the fact that the basics are always followed. Use a gun you are comfortable with, has available ammo, fits the job. Even if it includes a 22LR!
I'm one of those people who prefer paul talking to his shooting footage.
Everyone that watches Paul except when he mentions new and improve fleece......
@RiskyBizznue I know. But the analysis is why you come.
What, you don't find BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG to be stimulating entertainment?
Shatneresque pauses and all.
I like both equally
Paul Harrell talking about guns reminds me of the Blues Brothers... The Beretta 92fs has a cop trigger, 9mm power plant, its got cop grips, cop barrel, cop slide, its a model made after +p so it'll run good on any ammo.
Fix the cigarette lighter.
Love that movie...

Paul as a Beretta fanboy I'd love to see a video exploring other 92 variants like the compact and the new M9A3, or even some of the high end and tuned models from langdon or Wilson. Keep up the great content!
I know you get a lot of comments Paul but I feel the need to say thank you for your channel. I have watched a lot of your videos and they made me feel confident in going to a range and testing different guns and knowing what to expect. This has resulted in me purchasing my first on my own. I do not find you boring and instead very informative and thorough. I appreciate all that you do in these and please keep up the good work! Stay safe and stay healthy my friend.
92fs is on the list and I haven't watched the video yet
Ben Manning for me it goes in this order 1911 < browning hp < cz75, they’re all great guns but each are improvements on the other
But what about the Jet Li maneuver? Aren't you concerned about roving gangs of karate experts?
Beretta 96, get a 9mm and a .357sig barrel and you have 3 calibers available.
Can't do that with the 92
Matt KissMyassSocialist Why didnt you just get the real thing? The fit and finish is way better and has a great trigger
For good reason.
Who caught it? "Yankee marshal likes to talk about politics. JohnnyB likes to talk about politics; and he's good at it." Yep.
Oh, I caught it and had a good laugh, and Paul was right!
@@RichWhiteUM Glad Paul does not.
It has ammunition that can be expensive and hard to find.
Who didn't? But that statement comes with a caveat: That's His opinion. His opinion is based on His training, His education, His experience, and different people have different experiences so they have different opinions, and He makes no claim that His opinion has its origin in the mind of greatness. That should cover it. As an aside, I think capitalizing the personal pronouns is proper for Gods in any field, no?
Yeah, but who's JohnnyB? I know Yankee Marshall but I don't think I know Johnny B.
But seeing as Paul said he's actually good at taking about gun politics I'd very much like to know
Thanks!! Paul for your information with all the new guns owners it’s very much needed. I’m very seasoned since I was 4yrs old!! I learn something each time I watch your videos!!
and yet another excellent and well documented educational video from Paul Harrell, ty m8 and please keep uploading.
The *Top Handgun* for _2020_ is *WHATEVER YOU CAN GET A CONSISTENT SUPPLY OF AMMO FOR!*
100%
.40 has always been on the shelves whenever I walked through my local shops here starting March.
@@yosemitesamiam all my glocks are in .40. It's stupidly stigmatized and available even in the worst times, 9mm not so much
@Fman1292 you got lucky! I loaded up 7.62x39 in the first week of march but I didn't think much about my shotguns, now im regretting it :/
@@jackbrink9898 I cant trust .40 ever since I had an entire box not penetrate a metal 55 gallon drum, would it still punch through a person still? yes, but out of a 16" PCC it was a tough pill to swallow. I choose 9mm because of how common it is. I can order a few boxes of non jacketed lead easier than hoping the store has a 20 round box in stock. Different strokes though, if something can stop a 9mm it will stop a .40 or .45
Your voice makes me feel that you’re the Bob Ross of guns
They are both vets.
"And over here, we could maybe put some happy little entry wounds..."
Right down to an element of their look that they chose for convenience becoming their trademark.
I don't actually sign on to UA-cam that often because there's no need. But I just had to to tell you how much you're appreciated. Everything you say is spot on. Please keep the videos coming.
Paul you talking isn't the boring part. You talking is the most informative part of the video. Please keep up the FANTASTIC reviews.
"and he's good at it." had me laughing like only Paul can do. Another awesome production by Paul and the crew.
"I'm not gonna pay $2000 for a handgun"
*Wilson Combat has left the chat*
I used Wilson parts to upgrade my surplus 92S. It's like a new gun. If people aren't used to working on guns I would recommend paying them for a complete gun.
Since when are they only $2000? Lol
Then you are not going to get bragging rights.
Well, race guns and custom jobs do have their niche, I mean I own a couple myself.
But we're talking EDC here, I'm not carrying something that cost as much as a good used car that might end up in an
evidence locker if I ever have to use it to defend myself.
Figure if you are going to EDC a firearm, there is an almost 100% certainty it will be confiscated if you have to use it. Would you rather lose a several thousand dollar custom job or a $600-$700 or less factory pistol?
I like the classics as well, Paul. It DOES make a difference how much you like the handgun you carry in my opinion. I take care of all of my firearms, but the ones I really cherish are always in top shape and get constantly trained with. I think you have some of the best advice on UA-cam when it comes to firearms, Paul. Keep it up!
Great as always and the boring parts are those where I learn the most. Thanks Paul!!

I really enjoy the points you make during your presentations.
Found this guy through a reddit search. I like how he explains explains in detail, then explains the hang notes, in detail, yet does it in an interesting way.
Feel like he's done this (the "teaching") for 20+ years.
Need to watch more...
The only boring part is the part where he talks about the boring part.
I agree!
That part wasn't even boring lol
The boring part is when the video is over, and we have to wait a while before a new video comes out again.
I am sorry. I am confused. Which part was boring?
Can I have a detailed analysis on why that part was boring?
Agreed...when Paul says "boring part" I grab a coffee and settle in.....
Can't wait for the episode where Paul takes us on a full tour of the inside of his shooting jacket pockets.
*Jackets
Paul has several, like a cartoon character opening his wardrobe. **g**
There is a video specifically on the jackets. He has one for his black powder shooting where he can just put it on and has all he needs. Just go to his channel page and search with the loupe for "jacket".
Sid P There a complete and perfect arsenal inside that jacket 😉😁😄😉
I see Paul’s jacket as the shooter version of Mary Poppins bag. I’m sure there’s a hat stand and 50 cal rifle in there, somewhere!
Engineer 😁😆😄😄😄😆😅😂🤣☺️😊👍👍👍
Paul, I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos. You are an excellent presenter and although I am a well seasoned operator & instructor, I find your presentations very informative and thought provoking. If you are not a professor, YOU SHOULD BE (and I truly mean that w/ utmost positive respect)! Thank you & keep up the good work!!
I want to thank you for all your videos you do. I really appreciate your work and opinions.
Did he list 7 or 5? To tell the truth, in all this excitement, I kinda forgot my self...
Suburban Homestead Outfitters It was 7, and I feel lucky!
5 'main' choices.. 6th was a personal favorite, and 7 was just a 'This is my little friend' :D

I appreciate your reviews. No ax to grind, no manufacturer to promote. Thank you.
No part of your videos are boring. You doing what you do makes the videos great. Thank you for the video.
“Nothing should be referred to as a recommendation.” (Me taking notes)
If it's good enough for the only man who can take Chuck Norris, it's good enough for me.
I especially like that that frees me from his recommendation "don't try this at home".
We all take it as a recommendation. Lol.
"Ammo can be hard to find and quite expensive" im pretty sure that sums up all of 2020 ammo supply where a spam can of 5.45 is running for 400$ and 5.56 is about 60 cents a round
Keep an eye on ammoseek.. Got a 500rd spam can of steel case 223 for $200 and free shipping. All were sold out in hours so if you are in need check often. Ammo empire has a 750ct 5.45 for $205 free shipping
Nothing like a civil war when it comes to turning a profit.
It's absurd, the same box of 1000 9mm that I paid $180 for back in December is running for $440 now.
Paul, I listen to everything you say in your presentations....nothing, nada, zero, zip, is ever boring! Thank you again for your tutorial candor.
The humor woven into these videos is so smart and quick you really have to pay attention or youll miss it!! 👏
Paul's top advice: that micro .32acp in your pocket is better than that Golden Deagle you left at home.
A .17HMR, .22LR or .25ACP through the pharynx is a whole lot more effective than a .50AE six inches over the target's head, and also less dangerous to everyone else within about two miles behind the target.
Ohhhhhhh the golden deagle sooo nice though hahaha
@Jimmy Kimmel 22lr killed many a people.
Well that is true.
@@FishHeadly1 .22 has killed more people than all other cartridges combined.
Paul Harrell + a field of wildflowers = some nice _pistils._
At least a few people got it ;)
I see what you did there!
Nice pun.
This channel has great stamen power.
Paul, thanks for your videos. They are amazing! Love them! Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for your professional shooting advice and for your sound and valid life advice pertaining to shooting.
Birds singing, Paul standing in wildflowers, talking about efficient ways of killing......it is a good day😂👍🇺🇸
But it's not raining!
Cant argue with that Tex!

thank you for your videos, will always be informational and will live on forever what a legend.
Thank you for all the information from your videos. I have learned a vast amount of information from your channel.
The term "Program compliance" has always stuck with me... it's why having a gun in my waistband in second nature now. Thank you PH!
People have to adjust to their circumstances. My clothing (uniform) and work make having anything but a tiny pistol on my person impossible. My hands are simply too big to allow me to use a tiny pistol. Hell, my friend showed me a .380 he has, and was wondering if it would be the right thing to use to put down his sick dog. He was thinking about doing a double tap on the back of the dog's neck. He wanted me to go along with him to do the job if he couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger. As such, I tried the pistol in my hand and was very uncomfortable with trying to grip it and work the trigger. I also was uncomfortable with the idea of trying to instantly kill the dog with FMJ ammo out of the little cartridge. I told him we'd use a better choice for the job, and introduced him to my Smith and Wesson 4506 and the Glaser Safety Slugs. I told him that it would be the best choice for the job at hand, and it was. A single round into the back of the head put the dog out of his misery in half an instant. My friend was concerned that there could be more suffering from a bad shot placement, which is why he was thinking about the double tap with the .380 and FMJ ammo. At the moment of truth, the Glaser did its job. Like switching off a light. It's something I took no pleasure in doing, but it's something I was able to do by blocking out the emotions and going to a matter of fact, job that had to be done, and done right attitude. We completed the job with a short burial and returned home. I kept my emotions in check, while my friend drove home. He was very mixed in his own emotions. I thought he might break down over the death of his dog, but he didn't at that time. He was more impressed than I expected with the killing performance. He expected some type of suffering response to the shot. The instant shutdown surprised him. He was extremely relieved that there was no suffering beyond the constant pain from an inoperable tumor.
It blows my mind carrying your gun isn’t common sense to some people
@@blakedavis2447 It's a tool, I always have it with me at all times, it helps me feel complete. I hope I never have to use it, but I'm ready, willing and able if need be.
Peter Griffin maybe I didn’t express my self clearly, what I was saying is that among the people who do have and carry a gun it makes no sense to not do so everyday or to just leave it at home or in a glove box , I have no problem with you carrying a firearm and encourage those who can to do so
@@blakedavis2447 I knew what you were saying, all good👍
After Paul's opinion on "civil unrest" and how "it's going to get worse before it gets better", I'm going to carry all 5 of these guns just to be prepared.
Why carry five guns when you can carry 5 magazines. Nothing like automatic fire to to disperse “battle lines”.
If you get a Paul style coat, you can carry those and many more lol.
LOL
If I'm going to carry more than 2 (primary & backup) #3 and beyond will be a rifle and/or a shotgun.
@@jamespruitt6718 Good point. LOL And a couple of two litter sodas to drink while watching them die.
Another great vid by Paul. Thank you.
I was listening to this video while I practiced my draw from holster with my SIG M17, happy to hear someone else indorsing it!
I like the way you approached the,"situation", I'm not a praying man, but in this case I'll make an exception. Mr. Harrell, you stay safe. I hope we all make it till the daylight.
Amen.
Booge Nautilus i don't think any commies are running in the election.
Booge Nautilus name me a single one. there's not a single one up for election or in office, & even those that have center-left leaning ideas have don't have the numbers to make any impact. your government is getting you to focus on a cultural split & push "otherness" to distract you from the fact that the modern democratic & republican party are the same party when it comes to fiscal matters, & they're pushing legislation left & right to mess both you & i & everyone else that's middle class or lower around.
TheWin200000 that is absolute nonsense. do you know what communism is? where is there a united push for communism happening? the government wants us to focus on minorities to blame or push the myth that lazy people on welfare are the problem. every single person on welfare combined is a drop in the bucket compared to the tax cuts & subsidies to big business. the only minority you need to be worried about are elites. who do you think pays for all those corporate bailouts? we, the people do. who do you think pays for the healthcare of the senate who has been out of session or "not working" more than they have this year, yet still getting paid? we, the people do.
it's time we realize that the government is the one who's lapping up all of our taxes & distributing it amongst themselves & lobbyists & not taking care of the public, while they spin a narrative of "commies in the streets" as a boogeyman to keep everyone busy while they laugh all the way to the bank.
TheWin200000 antifa has less than a few hundred members across the country with no leadership, no plan, no structure. not a single antifa member has been arrested during these protests/riots. BLM movement is almost entirely peaceful protesters with a few terrible destructive rioters. all i'm saying is those two groups are blown way out of proportion. neither of them have the agenda or infrastructure to change anything. they literally pose a zero percent threat to anything of consequence. i don't know where you live, but having visited portland, seattle, los angeles, new orleans, nashville, louisville, & chicago this last month - these little shows are minuscule compared to what mainstream media is showing. no one's replacing our two party system anytime soon. my whole point is to help shed some light on this Red Scare 2.0 that media is pushing. it's propaganda. it's absolutely false. there's no coherent communist agenda arising in our country. it's not worth focusing on or fearing. we need to be putting all our attention on our three branches of government that are harming all of us.
If Bob Ross were still alive I bet every once and awhile he would put happy little Paul Harrell's in his paintings.
Or happy meat targets
Great Video Paul, as always very informative and just damn enjoyable.
I appreciate your introductory disclaimers but in all fairness, after watching many of your videos I must say you have become the firearm authority for me and what you say and teach are the firearm gospel. Thanks
