No handgun or ANY gun will save your family's life in the absence of a warrior's mentality on your part, a willingness to live in the now with no substance impediments, fully aware of your surroundings, and trusting yourself to use deadly force if the situation demands it.

Poor review of the Beretta 92fs. One of the safest pistols out there. The decocking safety is real nice. I also like how easy it is to clean and disassemble. It is very accurate and has lasted for me for over a decade so far. I also have two .45's a S&W M&P Shield and a Sig mini1911. The Sig is getting sold. Terrible safety on it.

Sig 226 is just a great pistol all the way around! I have had it in 9mm & 40cal. but preferred my 9mm. I regret trading it away! I have reliably carried Sigs 938 “Rosewood” as my edc during weekdays for over a decade now and is a wonderful small reliable carry gun with the Desantis leather mini scabbard holster and hardly can tell its on my belt behind my right side. I want to try the Sig 365 9mm next purchase in some configuration. My nightstand/weekend carry is my beautiful crafted SS Kimber Raptor ll in 45 acp I wanted for years but pricey so took me awhile to save for it. Lay-a-way (just a suggestion) helped me get it over time. I carry it in Galco’s “Miami Classic” shoulder holster with Wilson Combat 47D mags has ALWAYS been my reliable go to. I will always be a 1911/45acp fan call me old fashioned or whatever but proven time and time again. Sig 226 in 9mm is something I will always be looking for if it has a good price; it is hard to beat. I still have my 1st gun I purchased in 94’ on 21st B-Day and still have it and has “NEVER” failed once and that was my Gen2 G17 I will never let go of for sentimental reasons. It is perfection with upgraded trigger and sights!#Sig#226#9mm@BO GYI
I prefer my 1911s. I have a choice from Springfield Ronin, Colt Commander, 2 Les Baers, and 1 Ed Brown. All in God's caliber, .45 Auto. All to be loaded with 200-230 grain +P JHP. also have the FN FNX .45. 15 rounds of .45 per magazine. Can't argue with that. Can be double action/single action 🤮 or dedicated single action, cocked and locked. Yes, I have 9mm taking night stand duty. Sa35 (Browning HP clone) and my HK VP9. Loaded with 124 grain +P JHPs. Never 147 grain JHP. All you're getting with the 147 grain bullet is a .38 special in semi auto dress. A 124 grain +P is almost a .357 magnum from a 2.5-3 inch barrel ballistics.
Is that why every nation on earth uses semi autos? Is that why every police departments local, county, state, and feds uses semi autos? Is that why most semi autos can shoot more rounds in testing than any revolvers? Is that why no revolver can pass torture tests that most semi autos pass without a hiccup?
@P Tigris If you get a piece of 1911 junk, then they are jammamatics. If you have the bucks for a well made 1911, they work very well. That's why the FBI HRT and SWAT teams use Springfield Custom Pro 1911s. They are costly, but they have been tested to fire thousands of rounds in all conditions without any malfunctions. LAPD SWAT and SIS also use 1911s. US Special Forces also used 1911s and Delta Force used them for 20 years until they went to Glock as they had shot out all their 1911 in their armory. But I guess you know more than they all know combined. Or more likely you're one of the poors who can't afford a good 1911 and could only get 3rd world made junk.
@@ms.annthrope415 you're the one that started with the idiotic condescending ignorant and insulting remarks. If you're capable of intelligent conversation I'll be happy to engage
I heard about the Canik from a friend who worked at academy. picked one up 4 years later probably 2k rounds later including steel cased and never a single failure. they call them glock killers and as a glock guy I'm a believer
Plenty of Glock killers out there. I’ve run about 600 rounds through my Sig Sauer P320 without a single failure. Ran a couple hundred more through my Walther P99, same result
A gun is like a hammer . Can’t do anything but sit there unless you pick it up . Knowing how to use either one and be willing to use it for the purpose either is designed for is the key .
12 gauge. 1 shot is like sending 10 rounds of 9mm downrange at once. Don't even have to bring it up all the way to aim. Just point downrange. No need to worry about a second round from a pistol because the noise scared you. Buy the time you react to the noise of the shotgun, either the danger is dead, dieing, or running like hell
My duty weapon is a CZ P01. Off duty is a Wilson 1911 Combat commander. Have fired both in self defense with predictable results. Hey I sent flowers...
You make good recommendations here. I would like to add the IWI Masada to your list. IWI lists it as a full size service pistol though, with a 4.1” barrel it is more on the Glock 19 size but it does have 17 + 1 capacity, IWI’s reputation for battle field reliability and a budget friendly $400 street price. The Masada is my edc. I am 70 years old at 6’1” with the Masada weighing in at just 24oz empty so with the right holster, you have a multi purpose pistol.
Taurus PT100 40 cal./Berreta 92/ is made on the Berreta machines and has been my go to pistol for 20 years. I only bought my Kimber Ultra Carry .45 because I wanted to carry every day and it's lighter and smaller. I can't say it is any more accurate but the laser grip and Trillium sights sure are quicker to get and stay on target
This is all about personal choice. Use whatever feels comfortable in your hands. I am a revolver kind of guy and love my Ruger 357 Security Six using magnum hollow points. I keep five in it, and if I can't stop anyone with that, then shame on me. I also have a badass Beretta Tomcat 32ACP. 7 in the clip and 1 in the tilt up barrel. For me it is all about shot placement. People may laugh at me with my little 32, but at 20 feet in my home, bang bang, you're dead.
I used to carry a Walthers PPK in 32. Friend of mine who was on the local PD was talking about what they carried. When I told him about the 32 he said " All your gonna do is piss someone off". I asked if he was so sure of that would be stand out there and let me piss him off since that's all it will do. Hahaha he declined. :) If your gonna carry a small caliber work on shot placement for sure but they are still viable.
@@jeffoliver3774 Hi Jeff. I love your reply to that guy. Gr8 minds think alike. WE are both GREAT. After reading so many ridiculous recommendations people in here make I have to feel sorry for the people who actually accept their recommendations. It is actually scary to think these people are allowed to carry a gun. Best wishes to you. Gary/L.A.
The Redhawks is your ONLY revolver recommendation? Ever heard of the GP100? They are very well made durable revolvers. Ruger is not to my taste because they look dorky and look like something Barney Fife woukd carry. But I use the Smith 586 and recently bought a Smith and Wesson 29, 4 inch .44 magnum.
You made no mention of any Springfield model pistols which has something for any shooter, for any use. Either XDM, XDM Elite, XD Mod2, or any of their beautiful 1911's are affordable by far compared to many on you list and offer chamberings in almost any caliber.
I personally like the Taurus GX4, but it’s accuracy at longer range is questionable. I carry it as an EDC for potential close encounters, but wouldn’t recommend it for longer range unless you get the TORO version that has cutouts for mounting a red dot sight.
I own the GX4 and it only has a 3.1 inch barrel not meant for 40 yard put down shots however with a Veridian S series laser I'm banging steel out to 20 yds very regular ! It's been very dependable for me and is my street carry !
@@jameslalley3787 A couple days ago I setup a 40 yard line on my range just for this. Surprisingly it’s accurate with tritium front and rear sights. Not a perfect group but accurate enough to stop someone if needed.
@@paulis7319 I saw a vid of a guy using a DB9gen4 micro pistol of which I also own and he was making steel ring at 50 yards 3 out of 5 shots ! Incredible ! I have the Ruger PC Carbine with an 18" barrel and I pop steel out to 150 yards and it shoots .9mm ammo ! The 9 will get out there power wise but I need it for close duty and my GX4 is perfect !
Good suggestions here but I don't understand your remarks about the safety on the FS2? I own one and my hands are not large and I can reach the safety/de-cocker lever very easily without moving my grip. I can do this with either my thumb or my index finger as the safety lever is ambidextrous. This is also the only gun I have ever owned that will chamber a spent round and my Sig 226 and 229 would not do that. Just my experience but I do not see how a grown person could not reach the lever easily. Obviously just my opinion. Be safe.
No question, these are all great handguns. But they are also a little on the high price side. I have several SA XDs in 9mm, and for about $400 these are great handguns for any purpose.
I wouldn't have a 9mm for home defense just on the fact the 9mm round is made for penetration factors that will kill anyone behind your target. Inside my home I'm using a .45 because it's designed around a heavy projectile that is designed to enter the target and throw it out of your way. US troops had 38 pistols that were ineffective against enemies unless you put multiple rounds in a target so the .45 was created to knock down targets. Delta Force used the .45 in dealing with hostage situations to kill bad guys and not the hostages.
Just bought my first gun but it’s a rock island threaded ultra 2011 10mm - just bought 1000 hollow points and 1000 practice fmj rounds also- along with aftermarket magazines because after research the magazine it comes with apparently has problems and it only came with one double stack
What about the gun used by Napoleon Solo on the TV Series The Man from UNCLE. He used many different gun fights. It looked easy to use and it didn't generate a loud explosion when fired. The arrestor attached to it made it look really cool as well. The Walther P-38.
Can't get one a the local store, pluss Only 8 shot? 🤣Have used one. For old guns will stick to my P-35, Even shot one with WW2 German markings. Often carry a PPK(2 more rounds than my M36 exept I reload 2 000 Sized Buckshots in it, Double tap with every shot) If you get a PPKS get a PPK barrel, thread and screw a muffler
It's a good ranking. But it's ridiculous that there are bulk handguns on the list of automatic handguns. It would be better to make a separate list for them.
Can you do a video on the Smith n Wesson full size and also give recommendations on the best holsters for concealed carry. I like this model of gun just want to get other peoples opinions on this gun thank you.
My bedside pistol is the FN FNX-45 Tactical. I chose it simply for the doible stack mag capacity of the .45 ACP. The first handgun I ever purchased was a Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum. Also a solid home defense choice. There’s always the long guns too such as my AR15, in addition to a CZ Scorpion and a 12 gauge pump (either a Mossberg 590A1 Shockwave, or Remington 870 Police Magnum.
In the intro you state you will be recommending 9mm weapons, then #2 on your list is a Taurus .40. In that same segment you claim the Double Tap.... ammo will produce speeds and ft lbs of energy as higher than that from a .357 Magnum revolver. WRONG. A .357 revolver shooting 125gr. magnum ammo will produce 1500 FPS and well over 500ft lbs of energy. Sad, just sad.
A revolver might be best for home defense. That way you don't have to worry about limp wristing the thing during an extremely stressful self defense situation. There is a video on UA-cam where a police officer is ambushed by a criminal. The officer was immediately wounded and was only able to limp wrist his semi-auto pistol. Thankfully he was able to manually cycle it with each round and took out the bad guy that way. But he was LUCKY the bad guy was a bad shot. A revolver would have eliminated that problem. I'm thinking of buying an eight round .22 revolver. Lots of shots without over penetration.
This a computer voice reading the companies advertisements and comments. It also quotes other gun reviewers word for word. Who would recommend the snappy 40sw cartridge for self defense? Or a 10 mm with its over penetration?
Lots wrong with this video. He talks about 1st time Gun owners yet is throwing around specs and options that they don't understand. Do agree full size high capacity 9mm is probably a good option. But people wanting to get into firearms for home and personal defence should first have the right mindset Be prepared to take as many lives as you have to in self defence with no hesitation whatsoever. Otherwise you may land up being disarmed and getting shot with you're own firearm. Once you fully on board then get proper professional instructions on firearm competency as well as combat shooting etc etc. Shoot as many Guns as you can of different calibers and get the one you shoot best and feel comfortable with. Then once you understand how the different makes and models work then you can start comparing things like amunition availability etc . Unless you are absolutely broke, cost should never factor into any decision you make on purchasing a weapon for self defence. Choose only from top quality proven manufacturers. The day you need it you will need it to work everytime you pull the trigger. And don't buy into the myth of stopping power of a particular round or caliber. There is no such thing in balistics or science. Shot placement and proficiency as well as situational awareness and temperament is what it is all about to have a successful outcome. No guarantee that the outcome will be in you're favour, but if you train train train and know you're weapon and drills etc that is the best chance you have. More proficient competent gun owners are a good thing. Just do things the right way and join the good guy's.
I had the Ruger Redhawk in 44 mag. 7.5” barrel. Only time I had to pull it out the threat decided to vacate the premise before that artillery piece started doing the talking. The look on his face looking down that barrel told me I was safe and no need to pull the trigger😂😂😂😂😂
The ONLY firearm you listed that I would own is the Glock 17. No sense buying any of the others when the Glock price is reasonable, dependability is perfection, magazines available to qty 30 and beyond, and concealment is possible. And when SHTF.. Canik parts?? Not.
Recommending a firearm in 10mm to novices for home defense is, well, a disservice IMHO. Although a superb round a 9mm would be far more shootable and far less expensive than 10mm and even 40 S&W.
Without a doubt I can honestly say that I would never recommend as a first gun ANY AUTO, no matter the caliber. Most new handgun buyers have little or no experience shooting, unless they are or have been taking basic shooting courses from reputable trainers. First guns should be quality revolvers chambered in 22 long rifle. And after several hundreds of range rounds, then the move to a center fire revolver. Then, after several hundreds of these rounds, the shooter is ready for their first semiauto handgun. Preferably in 22 long rifle. After gaining experience here, then and only then move into a center fire semiauto. Then the suggestion of a 9mm is a solid one. Only though, buy a name brand, high quality pistol. When you are betting your life on a gun, always buy the best gun you can afford. Something else to consider for home protection is a quality 12 or 20 gauge, with a 20” barrel, pump action shotgun loaded with “00” Buck shot or # 1 or #2 shot. Nothing gets a person’s attention and intimidates like a shotgun. Just my 5 cents worth of advice. But whatever you buy, practice, practice, practice.
No handgun or ANY gun will save your family's life in the absence of a warrior's mentality on your part, a willingness to live in the now with no substance impediments, fully aware of your surroundings, and trusting yourself to use deadly force if the situation demands it. Thread that loop and it doesn't MATTER what hand gun you have.
And train often!

A Glock 20 for home defense? A 10mm will most likely go through "soft" walls than a 9mm. Glock 20 is more of an 'outdoor' gun than a home defense gun.

Delta Force used the .45 in dealing with hostage situations to kill bad guys and not the hostages.
ANY gun is deadly. my dad had a .454 casul and he took me to a range to shoot it, scared the hell out of me.
I'll stick with My SS P226.
Yes sir
My every day companion loyal an willing!!
My 30.30 Marlin lever action is all I need.
Just bought my first gun but it’s a rock island threaded ultra 2011 10mm - just bought 1000 hollow points and 1000 practice fmj rounds also- along with aftermarket magazines because after research the magazine it comes with apparently has problems and it only came with one double stack
Taurus Gc3❤
I love my gp100 357 and its not any louder than other guns
they're all good
What about the gun used by Napoleon Solo on the TV Series The Man from UNCLE. He used many different gun fights. It looked easy to use and it didn't generate a loud explosion when fired. The arrestor attached to it made it look really cool as well. The Walther P-38.
Can't get one a the local store, pluss Only 8 shot? 🤣Have used one. For old guns will stick to my P-35, Even shot one with WW2 German markings. Often carry a PPK(2 more rounds than my M36 exept I reload 2 000 Sized Buckshots in it, Double tap with every shot) If you get a PPKS get a PPK barrel, thread and screw a muffler
It's a good ranking. But it's ridiculous that there are bulk handguns on the list of automatic handguns. It would be better to make a separate list for them.
12 gauge Shotgun.
My choice.
I've heard mixed reviews of the Taurus autos , and you leave out the P226 ???
Can you do a video on the Smith n Wesson full size and also give recommendations on the best holsters for concealed carry. I like this model of gun just want to get other peoples opinions on this gun thank you.
My bedside pistol is the FN FNX-45 Tactical. I chose it simply for the doible stack mag capacity of the .45 ACP. The first handgun I ever purchased was a Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum. Also a solid home defense choice. There’s always the long guns too such as my AR15, in addition to a CZ Scorpion and a 12 gauge pump (either a Mossberg 590A1 Shockwave, or Remington 870 Police Magnum.
Does Alec Baldwin endorse any of these pistols?
Hmm. Good choices. But for Home Defense U can’t go wrong with a 4 in. 357 revolver and a Mossberg 12 ga pump. They’re really all U need.
In the intro you state you will be recommending 9mm weapons, then #2 on your list is a Taurus .40. In that same segment you claim the Double Tap.... ammo will produce speeds and ft lbs of energy as higher than that from a .357 Magnum revolver. WRONG. A .357 revolver shooting 125gr. magnum ammo will produce 1500 FPS and well over 500ft lbs of energy. Sad, just sad.
I like this powerful weapons
CZ P09 should be compared to the much heavier & more expensive SP01.
Great video I love it !!!!
Nice
A revolver might be best for home defense. That way you don't have to worry about limp wristing the thing during an extremely stressful self defense situation. There is a video on UA-cam where a police officer is ambushed by a criminal. The officer was immediately wounded and was only able to limp wrist his semi-auto pistol. Thankfully he was able to manually cycle it with each round and took out the bad guy that way. But he was LUCKY the bad guy was a bad shot. A revolver would have eliminated that problem. I'm thinking of buying an eight round .22 revolver. Lots of shots without over penetration.
8 handguns that kill people..
8 handguns that blow the lung out of the body
This a computer voice reading the companies advertisements and comments. It also quotes other gun reviewers word for word. Who would recommend the snappy 40sw cartridge for self defense? Or a 10 mm with its over penetration?
Move somewhere less dangerous. Somewhere with fewer guns.
Glock 20 Gen4, KKM barrel, and full power Underwood Ammunition (of all kinds)...I'm just saying....um...yep
These things will not be found in the family of an advanced country. This is why you will not find them there.
Lots wrong with this video. He talks about 1st time Gun owners yet is throwing around specs and options that they don't understand. Do agree full size high capacity 9mm is probably a good option. But people wanting to get into firearms for home and personal defence should first have the right mindset Be prepared to take as many lives as you have to in self defence with no hesitation whatsoever. Otherwise you may land up being disarmed and getting shot with you're own firearm. Once you fully on board then get proper professional instructions on firearm competency as well as combat shooting etc etc. Shoot as many Guns as you can of different calibers and get the one you shoot best and feel comfortable with. Then once you understand how the different makes and models work then you can start comparing things like amunition availability etc . Unless you are absolutely broke, cost should never factor into any decision you make on purchasing a weapon for self defence. Choose only from top quality proven manufacturers. The day you need it you will need it to work everytime you pull the trigger. And don't buy into the myth of stopping power of a particular round or caliber. There is no such thing in balistics or science. Shot placement and proficiency as well as situational awareness and temperament is what it is all about to have a successful outcome. No guarantee that the outcome will be in you're favour, but if you train train train and know you're weapon and drills etc that is the best chance you have. More proficient competent gun owners are a good thing. Just do things the right way and join the good guy's.
I had the Ruger Redhawk in 44 mag. 7.5” barrel. Only time I had to pull it out the threat decided to vacate the premise before that artillery piece started doing the talking. The look on his face looking down that barrel told me I was safe and no need to pull the trigger😂😂😂😂😂
Hey Guy just so you know,at the very end of the last Bond film the screendisplays informs that james Bond will return.Hope springs eternal.
Why so much blah blah blah? Just choose among these: a Glock 19,17, 22, 23 or a Sig P229, or P226. That's it.
A 1911 is more than anyone would ever need in their life. Those Polymer stuff is for “kids” anyway.
Bulletproof
The ONLY firearm you listed that I would own is the Glock 17. No sense buying any of the others when the Glock price is reasonable, dependability is perfection, magazines available to qty 30 and beyond, and concealment is possible. And when SHTF.. Canik parts?? Not.
Mandatory: baseball cap and beard. Optional, steroid muscles, cargo pants
I used a HK P8 as a home defense firearm. Now my family is dead!
Springfield 10mm
I prefer my Glock 10mm Bear Gun!
Recommending a firearm in 10mm to novices for home defense is, well, a disservice IMHO. Although a superb round a 9mm would be far more shootable and far less expensive than 10mm and even 40 S&W.
Let’s be clear any gun is deadly in the hands of fools !!👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Without a doubt I can honestly say that I would never recommend as a first gun ANY AUTO, no matter the caliber. Most new handgun buyers have little or no experience shooting, unless they are or have been taking basic shooting courses from reputable trainers.
First guns should be quality revolvers chambered in 22 long rifle. And after several hundreds of range rounds, then the move to a center fire revolver. Then, after several hundreds of these rounds, the shooter is ready for their first semiauto handgun. Preferably in 22 long rifle. After gaining experience here, then and only then move into a center fire semiauto. Then the suggestion of a 9mm is a solid one. Only though, buy a name brand, high quality pistol. When you are betting your life on a gun, always buy the best gun you can afford.
Something else to consider for home protection is a quality 12 or 20 gauge, with a 20” barrel, pump action shotgun loaded with “00” Buck shot or # 1 or #2 shot. Nothing gets a person’s attention and intimidates like a shotgun.
Just my 5 cents worth of advice.
But whatever you buy, practice, practice, practice.
I sincerely hope it does not go both ways.
You left out H&K VP-9
Sig p229 combat elite
Walther cp99 or Sig sauer is best
price
Any one ever machne a revolver /pistol from one of the 150 grades of titanium ?
🇺🇸What about Kimber Arms? No one places Kimber Arms high on their lists.
1911. Shot placement trumps capacity. Your welcome.
I had glock 29 10mm
No m&p???
What a messy confusing presentation mixing up handguns models carelessly.
Nope.
the top 8 options are sawed off shotgun, sawed off shotgun, sawed off shotgun, etc etc...
