    I carry an S&W Shield 2.0 in 9mm. I bought it a couple of years ago thinking it would be just a decent budget gun. I was expecting problems, but whatever, it was only $450. It FAR outperformed all my expectations. I have never once had a jam or malfunction of any kind. It's super accurate and smooth. Now I see all these guntubers doing reviews, ice tests, mud tests, 1000 round tests, etc. I didn't expect a $450 gun to be a god among budget pistols

    When I turned 21 all I could afford was the Taurus G3 and it shocked me how great it felt to shoot and then shocked me again after it went through 3,500 rounds with less than 3 failures to feed (which I'd attribute to the equally cheap ammo). 500 of those rounds were hollow points. Passed my CCP test with over 90% accuracy and it comes with a 17+1 capacity. I'd trust it to protect my life any day of the week.

They improved when moving up to GA they got a lot better and I told a buddy to a (special) price was on the G3C and it had a rebate that made it 25 buck more than the G2C.

      @@superrad1659 Get the XMacro Tacops. It's significantly better than the XMacro that was initially released. With the standard XMacro you're getting only a 3.1" barrel with a built in comp that doesn't mitigate recoil that drastically. With the XMacro Tacops version, you're getting a 3.7" barrel and similar slide lengths, FOUR 17 round mags, and extended slide catch lever, and a flared magwell AT A LOWER PRICE than the standard XMacro.
      Plus you could always get a P365xl grip module and a 12 round mag if you ever wanted the P365xl configuration. It's much more expensive to start out with a P365xl and build it up to an XMacro Tacops version than it is to start with the XMacro Tacops and build a P365xl.

Boom now you have a p365, an XL AND a macro. I'd much rather have a 3.7 barrel than a 3.1 barrel. Not to mention you can still add a comp on the xl and get even more length from it if needed

However, my first true love is my RIA BBR-310 in .45 ACP. Factory ported, adjustable rear sight, and came with 3 10 round mags and G10 grips. I did some mods by changing the grips out for Hogue finger groove grips, and Pearce pinky extension floor plates. This is my cold weather edc and I got it for $400.

    I went from an SR9E as my carry to a m&p 2.0 night and day honestly. The 2.0 is so smooth. I have shot tons of pistols including stock glocks and just comparing the stock configurations the 2.0 out performs the glock. Now that's my personal opinion each shooter is different but the quality of the 2.0 is phenomenal especially for a very decent price point.

Given another year we will likely have even more fantastic options (like the option from HK that will have a FCU and will be similar to the P365).

    It's not the most accurate (or maybe it's me) but the Taurus G3c is the easiest gun to operate in my arsenal. It felt "broken in" right out of the box. Easy slide, very smooth to rack, and the safety is also very smooth with a quick thumb flip on OR off (but holds in place).
    So if you are on a budget, you'll be pleasantly surprised. That being said, it is a cheap gun, so the balance is a bit weird, cosmetics are meh, stuff rattles a bit, front sight came loose (but was simple to fix with Locktite) etc. But I would trust it in an emergency.

No matter how many rounds were in the magazine it failed to eject the 4th round. Sent it back to Beretta they sent it back to me about 4 weeks later saying they had fixed the issue. For about a week it functioned fine. Took it to the range put some federal 115fmj in it and on the 4th round it destroyed the extractor. Called Beretta had it sent back to them and they argued with me for almost 2 months that it was the ammo that caused the deconstruction of the gun. Swore off Beretta since that experience. I've known a few people with similar issues on the px4.

    Hi Chris, I'm a fairly new (6 months ago) fan to your channel, but definitely devoted to your insights and opinions. I now depend "almost" (97%) entirely on your reviews before deciding to purchase any firearm.
    My name is Doug and I'm also your Sconnie neighbor from the Wis. Dells area. Anyway, I have a limited budget, and I'm trying to find the most reliable, most compact, 9MM handgun for my wife. She's never shot a gun, she doesn't want to shoot a gun, but I'm DEFINITELY going to train her how to handle, maintain, and to shoot a gun in these troubled times. I believe I'm going to choose the Taurus G2C, but I was wondering if you could do a five gun "comparison" of the least expensive, smallest, beginner friendly handguns out there. If you could please have your wife perform the testing alongside your reviews, I would appreciate it. Please keep in mind, this is for women shooters.
    I'm looking for reliability (If I die defending my wife, I want to know she has a gun with a minimal chance of failure so she can hopefully survive). I want it to be comfortable in her small hands. Therefore, the size of the trigger guard can be much smaller (I know you are a stickler about trigger guard size). I want the best ease of use as well, for her, not for a man. I know I'm requesting a lot, but I'd appreciate it.
    Please remember, I'm looking more for a comparison of the least expensive 9MM compact handguns, not "only" the best of. Examples, Taurus G2C or G2C2, Hi Point C9 single or YC9, SCCY DVG-1 or CPX-2 Gen3, or a Bersa/Talon. I don't know exactly, but from a female perspective with a caring husband's approval. From a trusting fan,
    Doug

    Would love to see a double stack micro list. Great video as always.

    One of my fav guns is my M&P 2.0 optics ready in FDE. Has the new trigger. Even though I also have the new 2.0 metal I kind like the feel of the 4" compact a bit better for some reason. Used to have g19s then got rid of them for the M&Ps. But recently got a G19 gen 5 mos and put a Holosun SCS on it. Overwatch Precision Dat trigger and minus connector also. I like it alot. I like the Smith a bit better but wanted to have at least one Glock back in my possession! Been eyeing those Staccatos. Possible someday I will get the new compact SC model.

    I normally carry a P365. I have to say though that my most comfortable and accurate pistol is my S&W M&P M2.0 in 10mm. It is a bit large; but, I have carried it as well. I do holster it around the house a lot. I also have carry rigs for my Sig P938, H&K VP9LE, Sig P220 Carry SAS SAO .45 ACP, and even my Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum. Nightstand piece is the FN FNX-45 Tactical, although I do need to order a suppressor for it to make it ideal for indoor home defense. It’s a monster that also has a Surefire light, and a Trijicon duel illumination RMR.

    Not having the FN 509 midsize (MRD, tactical or neither) is crazy to me after your glowing review and saying it’s better than a Glock 19 out of the box

    I feel like I own 4 of the best guns money can buy: Smith Shied Plus, CZ P10C, FN Compact and Smith M& P 2.0 4"
    Honest Outlaw has a great list, but I don't trust the Sig Macro as much as the guns that I own.
