Hey, just an idea! When you make these videos you should put in the price of all the guns. I get that without saying you have to look it up and see for yourself. But for broke asses like myself, it makes it easier to look at the cheaper of the bunch. Being on disability sucks lol!!!

Biggest surprise for me this year was the S&W M&P Bodyguard 2.0. It was my first and currently only .380. I usually carry 9, 40, or 45. So I wasn’t really expecting much for the tiny pocket gun. But it felt so good in my hand in the store, I immediately said “add it”. I was also getting a Ruger SP101 .357. Total opposites. But the Bodyguard gave me a full grip and shoots very well. Perfect for deep concealment. Can carry it in my pocket and an extra mag in my back pocket (separate pockets) without out any issues. Very happy with it. Going to grab a ankle holster for it and use it as a backup as needed.
What can you tell me about the real differences between legion and non-legion models? Not just the 365, but say like the 226. Is there really any major differences on the manufacturing/production side?
@Tomy_Honk honest I think the only real difference is the frame of the gun is metal. SIG uses a "fire control unit" and calls that the gun. For the 365, and 320, that FCU doesn't change at all no matter what model of those guns you have. So if that pattern is throughout the rest of their lineup, all your getting is a metal frame.
@@gorestar216Thank you for this information, I bought an X Macro Comp today and I was kinda feeling a bit of regret for not getting the legion… now I think I might just get an after market aluminum grip like an Icarus or if I can snag a legion I will.
Metal Carry Comp, Bodyguard 2.0 and Glock 19x MOS are the new 2024 purchases for me. I also picked up a CZ P-10F on sale this year. I am planning on adding CZ Shadow 2 in December for my 50th. Thanks for the great content as always!
I just bought my own first pistol and i went for a Shadow 2. So far i shot about 150 rounds and i love it. Nice trigger, great feeling gun and very precise with little recoil. I have tp say i almost went with a Walther PDP Pro but switched at the end (the Walther performance trigger is amazing)
Two of the pistols on this list, the Canik Mete MC9L version, and the S&W Bodyguard 2.0, were bought within the past month. My new EDC is the Canik and my wife now carrys the Bodyguard. Both are great pistols.
There is a video explaining the drop safety concerns. The MC9 is drop safe. I personally tested mine and YES it is safe. They're confusing drop safety with the striker dropping when gun is dropped. It has a firing pin block that stops the firing pin from breaching the breach face. Even when you manage to drop the striker unless trigger is pressed the firing pin will not strike the primer.
Did they fix the trigger on the bodyguard? I bought my wife a BG .380 a few years back and it had the worse trigger I had ever felt. Never even gave it to her and just straight sold it to a buddy. On the other hand I EDC the Shield and love the trigger.
I have to say, I have not been a fan of Sig the last few years. However; I recently tried the new P365 Fuse and bought it on the spot. My wife tried it first and instantly fell in love with it. I wanted to hate it, but it is total 🔥. My wife actually suggested I buy it (that never happens with firearms).
That Bodyguard 2.0 comes with a 10 round & 12 round mag, sells for $399. Incredible value and holy shit. What a fun firearm to shoot! Paired with a QVO Tactical pocket holster and you are set. As usual, great video!
I bought the BG2.0 to have a summer shorts pocket gun, but it shoots so well that I find myself carrying it around way more often. Great addition to the list.
Yup. I'll admit it def helps to know that experienced shooters regard their pistols so highly. I've got a PDP and a PPQ M2 for first-line home defense. I'm nasty with both and so is wifey, and I feel very secure knowing they're both only a fingerprint read away.
@ we the people. I have it with the light mounted version and optic cut, it’s comfortable walking around, sitting is comfortable. Good gun, good holster too
as an turk im really happy canik finaly receives the love it deserves. in my opinion they are still underrated because lots don't want to give it a go just because it is turkish,they have amazing trigger with insane accuracy for such a price. that's why they want to play the gun down by saying 'BUDGET' while its not good because its budget you get so much more than a gun which costs 2k. but im sure anyone who have used one will be happy and obsessed with caniks, thanks for the great content.
And they feel like a BB gun. The trigger is so light and short I don't feel like a have full control. The trigher is for trigger slappers I guess I'm one of the few that don't like them.
I recently picked up the Canik MC9LS and love it. It feels and shoots like a pistol that costs twice as much. So far I have about 650 rounds through it and not a single malfunction.
Just picked up the 365 legion. The balance and grip with that gun feel so good. I don’t have big hands. Wanted to try it coming from the M&P 2.0 and was shocked at how much smaller it was. But so much better balanced. Love it
CZ robbed itself of being on this list by not simply including shorter screws for optics or at least warning that the P09c will have problems with long screws.
They just got a lemon. It happens for all manufacturers. Bummer it happened to HO for his sake as well as because it makes people question CZ’s quality (which is superb). But good news for you is if you didn’t have those problems out of the box then you very likely won’t.
Those are all great firearms, and I can’t wait to get my M&P 2.0 performance center. Comes with 5 17 round mags, red dot, extra grips, and a sweet case for only $1100. Thank God for pawn shops😃 pew-pew!
Mr. @HonestOutlawReviews .. Your firing of the Canik in this video is epic! I bought a Canik T9 cuz it looked awesome and the price was right. Turned out to be the most accurate pistol for my wife and I that we've ever shot..or own.. and she wants her own now! The sounds of you hitting the targets was very close to a few Christmas songs, and hey it's that time of the year. I bet if you hit targets to the tune of "Carol of the Bells" , you'd go viral..Great for your channel..and I'd personally love to see/hear that! Excellent marksman Sir! Thank you for making all of your videos!!
I agree but the list is of pistols that came out in 2024 and the only pistol that HK released, that I am aware of, was the new CC9 and that was very recent.
My Archon type B is my favorite pistol so far out of the 13 or 14 of my EDC. But I took all that tape grip off, was nowhere near aggressive enough for me, so I stippled it myself like I usually do. It's fantastic!
It took 65 years for me to understand that more guns don't make you a better shooter. I'm down to 15 now and still have duplicates. All shoot as well as my skills will allow. I'm paring down to 5 essential calibers; 5.56, 300BO, 9mm, 22lr and 12ga. My .45acp, 300HAMR and 22wrm are going g to be retired.
I'm kind of the same way, don't like duplicates of even the same type. I just bought my last handgun which was a full size after having a subcompact and Canik TP9SFX (almost too big) and a .22 for cheap training. I get it's fun to collect but it gets expensive quick and you gotta leave something home no matter what, can't bring them all to the range.
@@mikeb4708 I used to be into M1A's and AR10's but upon evaluation of my changing needs I got out of the caliber. The temptation to shoot something big enough and distant enough to require .308 would likely kill my 72 year old ass to retrieve it.
I have never commented on any of your stuff but I feel I must. You are the king of Honest reviews. I now own a P365 specter comp and also a p365 axg legion. They are both as awesome as you say they are! I recently picked up the 365 Fuse and its very nice as well. I would love to see a 1000 rd review on the fuse. I put the fuse slide on the AXG legion frame and.....DUDE! you have to try that! that is the perfect do it all gun in my opinion! anyhow keep rocking brother.
You’ve done it again Chris! I own almost every one on your list and I completely agree. - MC9LS is fantastic. I own one and love it. Way better than the original. - Type B is so great I bought a second with the optics cut! Recoil impulse is fantastic. - I was really disappointed with the CS but don’t own the C. I loved and competed with the XL which was fantastic. - M&P comp is a great gun though I don’t love the grip ergos - never shot the SA Prodigy but I have heard it is well made and shoots flat - Walther triggers IMO rival my 1911s in crispness and reset but I would advise the Steel Frame guns. The weight makes all the difference. I shoot a Q4SF in carry optics - Just bought the P226 x5 Legion based on your review. Can’t wait to shoot it. - have not shot the TTI but Taran knows guns and I own 3 of them just not this one yet. - bodyguard 2.0 is shocking fantastic and everyone I let shoot it buys one. Great pocket gun - and NUMBER ONE-- definitely on target. The AXG Legion shoots like a full sized gun and carries lighter than it is.
I bought the M&P 2.0 polymer carry comp and I love it. I prefer the shorter frame for my carry, but man it still shoots like a dream. It's my favorite pistol that I've bought so far. Definitely going for that Sig next.
I bought the XMacro with manual safety and put the mag well ring on it. I think it adds stability in my grip. I have the Tac-Ops slide release also but haven't installed it yet.
I went and bought a good deal of guns you’ve reviewed over the last few years to try out each brand. (2)Caniks, Tisas, (2)Springfields, (2)sig, (2)taurus, girsan, (2)Walthers, (2) rugers, iwi, palmetto, Anderson, smith, glock, (4) mossbergs, beretta and (3) czs. I ended up trading everything for smith as I fell in love with it. Walther and cz are the only 2 other brands I considered running. I did decide to skip on hk just for price and mag release location but I now own • M&p .22 compact •Bodyguard 2.0 •Shield + •Shield + performance •M&p 2.0 compact •M&p 2.0 performance center with apex trigger • Springfield 1911 longslide • 20g Mossberg shockwave • smith and Wesson fpc • smith and Wesson sport 2 ar15 I’m happy until I can afford a nice semi auto .308. Thank you for all the time you put into make your reviews.
7:06 yeah I’ve been wondering why don’t companies just port their barrels or at least have ported options available at msrp along with threaded options which would understandably cost a little more. I get not all weapons like maybe micro compacts may want to go comped over ported but still the manufacturing process shouldn’t be too much of a costly addition, right?
I've got variations of two on the list. P365x with pmm comp, Wilson combat player grip module, EPS carry 6moa green dot, and DPM spring kit in the way. Daily carry. Picked up the M&P Compact Comp polymer model a couple of weeks ago. The shorter sights than stock were a bummer, but great sights if you don't plan to mount an optic. I'm about to send my p320c slide off for optic direct milling for EPS green dot and cerakote job at Jaegerwerks after over 5,500 rounds. I prefer the Sigs over the M&P all day. Next will be the Echelon Comp maybe. Or another 10mm to go with my Sig XTen 5 inch. Something for carry like an FN510 MRD/Tactical. I'm glad to be an American.
Have you heard any of the recent reports that the Canik MC9s not being drop safe? A user on Reddit had a round discharge after the weapon fell from their holster and was able to consistently recreate the striker firing after being dropped. Canik's customer support response was less than stellar, definitely worth looking into/considering if you're interested in Canik.
Back in the day, our department went from the Barretta 92 to the Sig 226. Both are nice but it was noted, everyone's scores went up when we went to the Sig...
I'm good with my CZ P-07. I got great ergonomics, absolute reliability (6000 rds +) a fantastic trigger and i didn't have to spend 3 grand to get it. I will die on this hill
ive always wanted one man , I look to your videos to help me decide literally every pistol I get. I have watched and do watch many but you explain the best man. this is the first drawling ive tried
All 1911 series 70 type designs have a chance to go off when dropped muzzle down due to the inertia of the firing pin overcoming the firing pin spring (no firing pin block). The safety is irrelevant as this just prevents trigger from being pulled but doesn't prevent movement of the firing pin.
@@DVPPPfirst of all, “a chance,” doesn’t mean it fails. Second of all, he skewed the data on purpose, and he knows he did. Run the test with the safeties on, and until then, stop this garbage.
As a European, "Or maybe for a jogging gun or for going to the gym", is the most American thing I've ever heard. Going for my license btw, so thanks for the explanation!
@@Excelnaught-f4b No doubt, if you want a pistol that is simplistic in it's design, easy to use, has the least amount of moving parts, is rugged, reliable, has brand recognition and goes bang when you pull the trigger and goes bang every time you pull the trigger then a Glock is what you want. It may not have the smoothest trigger or the smoothest lines or the bells and whistles that some other striker fired pistols offer but if my life is in danger, I will take my chances on a gun that works rather than a gun that looks great and might work. On the flip side, I see too many people modding out their Glocks by changing parts on it that already work and this compromises the integrity and reliability of a gun that already works. My advice to anyone using a Glock or any gun for your EDC is buy it new, shoot it often and do nothing to it!
You should really check out the Springfield XD MOD.3. It is an amazingly shootable and reliable pistol. I truly believe it is by far the best budget handgun of all time at only $300. Seriously, I would love to see your review of this pistol and get your thoughts.
The MC9 I bought was trash from the beginning. And I’m a Canik fan. The feed ramp was flat at the bottom a little under .125”. Traded it for decent money and bought a PDP. Not the same application I understand, but I wanted a PDP.
@Ricky62Britt my MC9 is currently with Canik for warranty repairs and it was trash out the box too. Love my tp9 sc though. They hyped the gun so much on youtube when it came out I bought it blindly and regret it
I love Sig and like Glock but my carry weapon is a stock Glock 19. If something happens and I have to use my pistol in defense of myself or my family, I don’t want to lose a $1000 pistol with a $300 optic and a $300 light to the police, even if after months I could eventually get it back
I think that this is a valid reason to not carry a nice/pricey weapon. For this reason, I’ve been looking into Shadow Systems products, because of that warranty they have if a use was justified to their company.
I honestly can't remember if you've had Bul Armory on the channel, but I'll put my Bul against the Staccato all day. Definitely better than the Prodigy.
He has. Great guns. I have one and quite a few different staccato’s + other 2011’s. In my personal opinion, they are worth the msrp all day everyday day. Problem is, they never are msrp and that’s if you can actually find them to begin with.
Hello no, Bul armory still uses shitty low-quality MIM parts. Also good luck getting it serviced from Israel if anything comes wrong or goes wrong with it lol
I wanna start with i trust honest outlaw completely. My favorite gun reviewer . Now the but , I believe his guns are cherry picked that companies send him (not his fault) 1st My Prodigy Comp sucked , had Hammer follow , had to rig a sear spring because the slot was not cut right. Failures to feed , kept leaving a round in mag and would lock back. 2. My body guard 2.0 was not reliable , failures to go into battery , slide would lock up , sights were crooked out of box. Those were my experiences buying "off the shelf" a lot of good guns on this list unfortunately I had different experiences, still my go to guy before I buy anything 👍
And the Canik TTI is usually put further down on every other list compared to Echelon comp and M&P metal comp due to reliability issues literally everybody else had and most shooters recommend sticking with the basic Rival. Plus the p365 series is great overall but he never mentions rust or slide/frame loosening on the AXG that @1911syndicate talks about.
Unfortunately Springfield is always a roll of the dice it seems. He had problems with his first prodigy but didn’t with the comp, so par for the course there. But yeah, the bodyguard roll out was a clear example of cherry picking and paying for hype (not blaming HO, pointing the finger at S&W). Bunch of reports of issues with them from actual customers. Hopefully Smith addresses them, because from the guntuber videos when they work they’re great. Meanwhile, CZ clearly doesn’t cherry pick as he happened to get a dud while there haven’t been reports of widespread issues lol.
I didn't mention that i shot back to back TTI and Rival S, which is cheaper, and it blew the TTI away lol but it does have a cool factor .@TheRancor53
@@jacobbieler1876 wow thanks for mentioning that, yeh useful feedback to know. Looks like it needs to settle in and work out kinks. Hope you avoid malfunctions with yours going forward!
Honest Outlaw, how important is getting frangible ammo when doin as much metal target shooting as you do? I was wondering if you've found it to be unnecessary or something I should look into?
Surprised he didn't at least mention all the people who had problems with their TTI Caniks, since it was a pretty controversial release that left quite a few disappointed. Apparently not all, but some had trouble cycling with the comp and failed to meet the usual high expectations set by Taran. Probably an easy fix like changing springs if you got one that had issues, but a lot of people didn't do that and just sold theirs! If you got a good one that works with your ammo, then it's impressive for the price.
@@sheil07 To be fair, he had constant issues with his CZ P-09 C. Some manufacturers might check them a little closer but some don't and it's hard to tell when that occurs
Also the MC9 has a bunch of complaints for having out of battery issues. I have both the MC9 and the SFX rival. My MC9 works great so far but, my SFX Rival has been having a LOT of out of battery issues.
He loves to keep calling guns “micro compacts,” to the point where I wonder if he knows what that actually is. The Staccato C is not a micro compact, and neither is that 365 X Macro Legion. Both of those guns are G19 sized, and while the G19 can be considered compact, there is nothing micro about it.
Micro usually refers to the width of the gun, not the length of the slide, so he is right. Three sixty five is only one point one inches and width compared to a glock nineteen.
@ Where’d you get that special definition from? I would consider the original p365 to be a micro compact, but the X Macro is not, as I clearly stated above. So, no.
Micro compact refers to their size relative to their capacity. It’s more of an industry term than anything really because there isn’t a double stacked 9mm pistol out there that I would consider micro.

Have been waiting for a new upload. Have been hooked on watching your videos bro!
CZ P10C should be on every single list. It's like 350 dollars and IS AMAZING
I picked up the P10s last year. Absolutely love it as a carry pistol.
Staccato C 😮shoots so flat it looks like the video has been edited. Very impressive, and great content as always!!
Take a shot whenever Outlaw mentions how big he is or how he has large "Jack Skellington" fingers.
Just picked up the 365 legion. The balance and grip with that gun feel so good. I don’t have big hands. Wanted to try it coming from the M&P 2.0 and was shocked at how much smaller it was. But so much better balanced. Love it
CZ robbed itself of being on this list by not simply including shorter screws for optics or at least warning that the P09c will have problems with long screws.
we removed the optic, still had malfunctions
@ damn, was really hoping that was the problem. Mine thus far runs flawlessly, will still keep an eye out for problems to arise.
They just got a lemon. It happens for all manufacturers. Bummer it happened to HO for his sake as well as because it makes people question CZ’s quality (which is superb). But good news for you is if you didn’t have those problems out of the box then you very likely won’t.
@ Definitely hoping that’s the case. If not, CGW says they know the fix for this product.
Those are all great firearms, and I can’t wait to get my M&P 2.0 performance center. Comes with 5 17 round mags, red dot, extra grips, and a sweet case for only $1100. Thank God for pawn shops😃 pew-pew!
Really like my mc9ls. Has become my new carry over my elite sc
I hope you’re going to review the Fusion XP pro before to long. Keep up the great work
Wild shot in the wind, but could you make a top 10 list of California guns. It’s pretty limited out here
Mr. @HonestOutlawReviews .. Your firing of the Canik in this video is epic! I bought a Canik T9 cuz it looked awesome and the price was right. Turned out to be the most accurate pistol for my wife and I that we've ever shot..or own.. and she wants her own now! The sounds of you hitting the targets was very close to a few Christmas songs, and hey it's that time of the year. I bet if you hit targets to the tune of "Carol of the Bells" , you'd go viral..Great for your channel..and I'd personally love to see/hear that! Excellent marksman Sir! Thank you for making all of your videos!!
Nobody mentions H&K pistols anymore. I think they are one of the best manufacturers out there.
I agree but the list is of pistols that came out in 2024 and the only pistol that HK released, that I am aware of, was the new CC9 and that was very recent.
They were.
@mmpg8940 Facts 😂😂..USP is legendary tho love my Big chunky USP45 😂
100% agreed HK polymer guns are the benchmark. If the new CC9 would have been announced earlier in the year it would probably have made this list.
@keyonvinegar7920 They really missed an opportunity by not "updating " the USP ..🫣.... add a 1913 Rail & optic cut 👍would have been amazing!!
Been following you for years. My Bodyguard 2.0 is now on its 2nd trip back for repairs. Bought it 9/6/2024 both range trips and failed each one.
what happened to it?
Self ejecting magazine. No had hand clear of magazine relese.
Great show 👌😀❤️
Glad to see the TTI on here. Just got mine and love it. No issues at all
My Archon type B is my favorite pistol so far out of the 13 or 14 of my EDC. But I took all that tape grip off, was nowhere near aggressive enough for me, so I stippled it myself like I usually do. It's fantastic!
Picked up the p365 axg legion because of one of you videos this year. i love it 💯
Another great informative video. Awesome
It took 65 years for me to understand that more guns don't make you a better shooter. I'm down to 15 now and still have duplicates. All shoot as well as my skills will allow. I'm paring down to 5 essential calibers; 5.56, 300BO, 9mm, 22lr and 12ga. My .45acp, 300HAMR and 22wrm are going g to be retired.
65yrs? Seems like a common sense thing to me.
I'm kind of the same way, don't like duplicates of even the same type. I just bought my last handgun which was a full size after having a subcompact and Canik TP9SFX (almost too big) and a .22 for cheap training. I get it's fun to collect but it gets expensive quick and you gotta leave something home no matter what, can't bring them all to the range.
@lawabidingsavage He's being jocularly self-effacing. It is a thing.
No .308?
@@mikeb4708 I used to be into M1A's and AR10's but upon evaluation of my changing needs I got out of the caliber. The temptation to shoot something big enough and distant enough to require .308 would likely kill my 72 year old ass to retrieve it.
I own a PDP Compact and 365 Tacops. I'm happy to say I made my choices after watching plenty of your videos
Has anyone else noticed the first gun Outlaw pulls in the intro has the fiber optic front sight hanging out?
I have never commented on any of your stuff but I feel I must. You are the king of Honest reviews. I now own a P365 specter comp and also a p365 axg legion. They are both as awesome as you say they are! I recently picked up the 365 Fuse and its very nice as well. I would love to see a 1000 rd review on the fuse. I put the fuse slide on the AXG legion frame and.....DUDE! you have to try that! that is the perfect do it all gun in my opinion! anyhow keep rocking brother.
You’ve done it again Chris! I own almost every one on your list and I completely agree.
- MC9LS is fantastic. I own one and love it. Way better than the original.
- Type B is so great I bought a second with the optics cut! Recoil impulse is fantastic.
- I was really disappointed with the CS but don’t own the C. I loved and competed with the XL which was fantastic.
- M&P comp is a great gun though I don’t love the grip ergos
- never shot the SA Prodigy but I have heard it is well made and shoots flat
- Walther triggers IMO rival my 1911s in crispness and reset but I would advise the Steel Frame guns. The weight makes all the difference. I shoot a Q4SF in carry optics
- Just bought the P226 x5 Legion based on your review. Can’t wait to shoot it.
- have not shot the TTI but Taran knows guns and I own 3 of them just not this one yet.
- bodyguard 2.0 is shocking fantastic and everyone I let shoot it buys one. Great pocket gun
- and NUMBER ONE-- definitely on target. The AXG Legion shoots like a full sized gun and carries lighter than it is.
You’re the man! Impressive shooter and awesome reviewer!
The polymer frame carry comp, sas 2 ultralight comp, and the cr920xp are my fav guns from this year.
I bought the M&P 2.0 polymer carry comp and I love it. I prefer the shorter frame for my carry, but man it still shoots like a dream. It's my favorite pistol that I've bought so far. Definitely going for that Sig next.
Man I wish CZ would make an aluminum micro P10 like the P365 Legion
Bought a regular XMacro the other day and it turned me onto flat triggers which I previously hated. But the XMacro is a different creature.
I bought the XMacro with manual safety and put the mag well ring on it. I think it adds stability in my grip. I have the Tac-Ops slide release also but haven't installed it yet.
I went and bought a good deal of guns you’ve reviewed over the last few years to try out each brand.
(2)Caniks, Tisas, (2)Springfields, (2)sig, (2)taurus, girsan, (2)Walthers, (2) rugers, iwi, palmetto, Anderson, smith, glock, (4) mossbergs, beretta and (3) czs. I ended up trading everything for smith as I fell in love with it. Walther and cz are the only 2 other brands I considered running. I did decide to skip on hk just for price and mag release location but I now own

I’m happy until I can afford a nice semi auto .308. Thank you for all the time you put into make your reviews.
7:06 yeah I’ve been wondering why don’t companies just port their barrels or at least have ported options available at msrp along with threaded options which would understandably cost a little more. I get not all weapons like maybe micro compacts may want to go comped over ported but still the manufacturing process shouldn’t be too much of a costly addition, right?
I've got variations of two on the list. P365x with pmm comp, Wilson combat player grip module, EPS carry 6moa green dot, and DPM spring kit in the way. Daily carry. Picked up the M&P Compact Comp polymer model a couple of weeks ago. The shorter sights than stock were a bummer, but great sights if you don't plan to mount an optic. I'm about to send my p320c slide off for optic direct milling for EPS green dot and cerakote job at Jaegerwerks after over 5,500 rounds. I prefer the Sigs over the M&P all day. Next will be the Echelon Comp maybe. Or another 10mm to go with my Sig XTen 5 inch. Something for carry like an FN510 MRD/Tactical. I'm glad to be an American.
I am jealous! Living in Massachusetts, most of these guns are not legal in my state.
I left taxachussetts 30 years ago for that exact reason.
Move !
Not that easy. My entire life is here. Well almost entire @deerhunter7482
Have you heard any of the recent reports that the Canik MC9s not being drop safe? A user on Reddit had a round discharge after the weapon fell from their holster and was able to consistently recreate the striker firing after being dropped. Canik's customer support response was less than stellar, definitely worth looking into/considering if you're interested in Canik.
How you tell stories is amazing!
SILENCE, ASSBOT!!!
Thanks!
Surprised Bul Armory didn't make the list!
I'm surprised the Canik did 😁😁 twice😁
Bul Armory's 2011s kick the crap out of anything from Springfield for around the same price
Facts. It shouldn't even be in the same sentence. Prodigy is a POS@Standingbear71
@@Standingbear71 wonderful, if you can actually get a bul.
they should have a lot of interesting stuff coming out next year
Back in the day, our department went from the Barretta 92 to the Sig 226. Both are nice but it was noted, everyone's scores went up when we went to the Sig...
I'm good with my CZ P-07. I got great ergonomics, absolute reliability (6000 rds +) a fantastic trigger and i didn't have to spend 3 grand to get it.
I will die on this hill
If only they made a optics ready model
@jasonrapp5209 yes
ive always wanted one man , I look to your videos to help me decide literally every pistol I get. I have watched and do watch many but you explain the best man. this is the first drawling ive tried
Sig 365 AXG Legion FTW. Picked this up a couple months ago and love it.
Same. It replaced my 365 spectre comp as my edc
What holster are you using for the AXG ?
@@zackbailey5851 its a muddy river tactical iwb holster w/ claw
How much does it cost?
@@thatwasprettyvalidindeed7577 i think msrp is 1199, so somewhere near that at most places
LOL. I am pleasantly surprised to see that I have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place guns. This is proof I put a lot of stock in this channel when I shop.
Didn't the stacatto fail a drop test on garand thumbs channel?? Maybe I'm misremembering.
My thoughts exactly Glocks or smith and Wesson shield for me
They do with the safety off. All 1911 and 2011 do.
@@drsuikoden3850EXACTLY. This. Guys, seriously. The safeties were OFF.
All 1911 series 70 type designs have a chance to go off when dropped muzzle down due to the inertia of the firing pin overcoming the firing pin spring (no firing pin block). The safety is irrelevant as this just prevents trigger from being pulled but doesn't prevent movement of the firing pin.
@@DVPPPfirst of all, “a chance,” doesn’t mean it fails. Second of all, he skewed the data on purpose, and he knows he did. Run the test with the safeties on, and until then, stop this garbage.
As a European, "Or maybe for a jogging gun or for going to the gym", is the most American thing I've ever heard.
Going for my license btw, so thanks for the explanation!
- Taurus G3C
- Sig Sauer P365

Taurus?! 😂😂 GROSS! 🤢🤮🤮
Smith, Sig, and Walther are killing it
WALTHER PDP PRO X
Is my new year gun!!🇺🇸💪🏻 2025
If you wait til Jan 1 its not another gun this year!!
I said I wouldn’t get another gun this year but Christmas is coming up and I gotta treat myself. Looking at the 5.7 Rock in Sniper Green and Gold 🤣
Got a P226 MK25 and I absolutely love it
That's nice but in the end, I will stick with my Glock 19 Gen 5 stock with no modifications as an EDC any day of the week!
No light?
Yep, same here.
@@j.s.7366 No
Solid
@@Excelnaught-f4b No doubt, if you want a pistol that is simplistic in it's design, easy to use, has the least amount of moving parts, is rugged, reliable, has brand recognition and goes bang when you pull the trigger and goes bang every time you pull the trigger then a Glock is what you want. It may not have the smoothest trigger or the smoothest lines or the bells and whistles that some other striker fired pistols offer but if my life is in danger, I will take my chances on a gun that works rather than a gun that looks great and might work. On the flip side, I see too many people modding out their Glocks by changing parts on it that already work and this compromises the integrity and reliability of a gun that already works. My advice to anyone using a Glock or any gun for your EDC is buy it new, shoot it often and do nothing to it!
I figured the Legion was going to be number 1 when saw the video title. That gun is so good.
These videos are the reason why my bank account reads negative
You should really check out the Springfield XD MOD.3. It is an amazingly shootable and reliable pistol. I truly believe it is by far the best budget handgun of all time at only $300. Seriously, I would love to see your review of this pistol and get your thoughts.
Like Springfield still isn't a glock, handsdown
@@chrisriley8755 Yeah, it's better, handsdown!
Shadow systems XR920P or CR920P deserved to be on this list. Reviews are excellent on those guns. I think it’s a better gun than Canik TTI Combat
I have the CR920, and I love it as well.
Love MC9LS so much that I bought a MC9 for summer carry!
The MC9 I bought was trash from the beginning. And I’m a Canik fan. The feed ramp was flat at the bottom a little under .125”. Traded it for decent money and bought a PDP. Not the same application I understand, but I wanted a PDP.
@Ricky62Britt my MC9 is currently with Canik for warranty repairs and it was trash out the box too. Love my tp9 sc though. They hyped the gun so much on youtube when it came out I bought it blindly and regret it
I love Sig and like Glock but my carry weapon is a stock Glock 19. If something happens and I have to use my pistol in defense of myself or my family, I don’t want to lose a $1000 pistol with a $300 optic and a $300 light to the police, even if after months I could eventually get it back
I think that this is a valid reason to not carry a nice/pricey weapon. For this reason, I’ve been looking into Shadow Systems products, because of that warranty they have if a use was justified to their company.
@@Borescoped Yeah you really can't beat their promise to replace it!
@@Borescoped I have an MR 920 and its a beast. So accurate and easy to shoot that I don't even want to shoot anything else I own.
Awesome video! KEEP ON ROCKING!
I’m still so surprised I haven’t seen a Grand Power pistol in your hands yet. I love my P1 Ultra. The new K1 I’ve been so curious about.
I also would like to see a current Grand Power pistol test from Honest Outlaw!
Great list!
I honestly can't remember if you've had Bul Armory on the channel, but I'll put my Bul against the Staccato all day. Definitely better than the Prodigy.
He has. Great guns. I have one and quite a few different staccato’s + other 2011’s. In my personal opinion, they are worth the msrp all day everyday day. Problem is, they never are msrp and that’s if you can actually find them to begin with.
Hello no, Bul armory still uses shitty low-quality MIM parts. Also good luck getting it serviced from Israel if anything comes wrong or goes wrong with it lol
Another great video.
I wanna start with i trust honest outlaw completely. My favorite gun reviewer . Now the but , I believe his guns are cherry picked that companies send him (not his fault) 1st My Prodigy Comp sucked , had Hammer follow , had to rig a sear spring because the slot was not cut right. Failures to feed , kept leaving a round in mag and would lock back. 2. My body guard 2.0 was not reliable , failures to go into battery , slide would lock up , sights were crooked out of box. Those were my experiences buying "off the shelf" a lot of good guns on this list unfortunately I had different experiences, still my go to guy before I buy anything 👍
Sorry to hear that bruv
And the Canik TTI is usually put further down on every other list compared to Echelon comp and M&P metal comp due to reliability issues literally everybody else had and most shooters recommend sticking with the basic Rival. Plus the p365 series is great overall but he never mentions rust or slide/frame loosening on the AXG that @1911syndicate talks about.
Unfortunately Springfield is always a roll of the dice it seems. He had problems with his first prodigy but didn’t with the comp, so par for the course there.
But yeah, the bodyguard roll out was a clear example of cherry picking and paying for hype (not blaming HO, pointing the finger at S&W). Bunch of reports of issues with them from actual customers. Hopefully Smith addresses them, because from the guntuber videos when they work they’re great.
Meanwhile, CZ clearly doesn’t cherry pick as he happened to get a dud while there haven’t been reports of widespread issues lol.
I didn't mention that i shot back to back TTI and Rival S, which is cheaper, and it blew the TTI away lol but it does have a cool factor .@TheRancor53
@@Andrew_182I was so excited about the Body guard, I got to shoot it at GOALS event in Tennessee at S&W booth (definitely cherry picked 😅)
Really like my mc9ls. Has become my new carry over my elite sc
Wow Bodyguard 2.0 all the way up to #2, nice. Can't wait for this thing to make its way to Europe.
Me too, to California! 👍
Mines back at the factory for the second time for massive failure to feed issues it's a common issue I wouldn't buy one of the first ones out
@@jacobbieler1876 wow thanks for mentioning that, yeh useful feedback to know. Looks like it needs to settle in and work out kinks. Hope you avoid malfunctions with yours going forward!
Honest Outlaw, how important is getting frangible ammo when doin as much metal target shooting as you do? I was wondering if you've found it to be unnecessary or something I should look into?
We use frangible ammo for ARs but not pistols, but you definitely have to keep safety in mind when using steel targets for sure
Surprised he didn't at least mention all the people who had problems with their TTI Caniks, since it was a pretty controversial release that left quite a few disappointed. Apparently not all, but some had trouble cycling with the comp and failed to meet the usual high expectations set by Taran. Probably an easy fix like changing springs if you got one that had issues, but a lot of people didn't do that and just sold theirs! If you got a good one that works with your ammo, then it's impressive for the price.
And issues mounting optics, as I am having
Do you think the gun sent to an influencer by a manufacturer is checked a little more closely than one you pick up at your LGS?
@@sheil07 Sure, just figured he is still informed enough to have heard about other peoples' issues, but maybe not.
@@sheil07 To be fair, he had constant issues with his CZ P-09 C. Some manufacturers might check them a little closer but some don't and it's hard to tell when that occurs
Also the MC9 has a bunch of complaints for having out of battery issues. I have both the MC9 and the SFX rival. My MC9 works great so far but, my SFX Rival has been having a LOT of out of battery issues.
Good call. I have 5 of the 10 and agree with your #1
He loves to keep calling guns “micro compacts,” to the point where I wonder if he knows what that actually is. The Staccato C is not a micro compact, and neither is that 365 X Macro Legion. Both of those guns are G19 sized, and while the G19 can be considered compact, there is nothing micro about it.
Micro usually refers to the width of the gun, not the length of the slide, so he is right. Three sixty five is only one point one inches and width compared to a glock nineteen.
@
Where’d you get that special definition from? I would consider the original p365 to be a micro compact, but the X Macro is not, as I clearly stated above. So, no.
Micro compact refers to their size relative to their capacity. It’s more of an industry term than anything really because there isn’t a double stacked 9mm pistol out there that I would consider micro.
Great review thank you very much ! You missed the best 2011s vfm on the market, the BUL TAC/EDC/ULTRALIGHT.
Shhhh, they’re already hard enough to get lol
18:40 so... Recommended for prison carry? 😂
So, instead of “Prison Pocket”, it’s now a prison holster! 😂
Hi Chris. I wish the Darkside-S was somewhere in this list. Because it honestly is good.
I was wrong. Can afford the 1st gun reviewed the Canik.
I own the TP9SFX. My buddy owns 3. I'd highly recommend
