The title reads top ten. There are only five. This is part one. part two is now on line.
hey PAUL..., you are Not just guns Expert... but a Comedian also, Haaahaaa and that is very good. I am a New guns owner because of COVID 19 Crabs. Thanks for Advices
I bought a Bersa thunder 380 semi auto 3 years but never practice.
Now, since i have watching many Videos and i bought M&P 22 compact for targets practice.
But you are For REAL.... I totally agree
Sense of humor as dry as the Kuwaiti desert.
From one so called pro to another... Great vid brother

@@marypittman4908 Hey Mary, You're right, but it wasn't marked on the gun, so it took more evaluation than just a trip to the range.
My wife: "why are you watching such a boring new gun owner video you've been shooting forever?"
Me: "it's Paul I'm sure I'll learn something."
Nobody even when I don't, I still enjoy it.
Actually I did learn 1 thing. I had no idea about decock levers. I never fired that kind of gun so I assumed it's a manual safety
@Matt KissMyassSocialist And knowing is half the battle.
@Matt KissMyassSocialist that was new to me too, I like it !
@Matt KissMyassSocialist OK, so how does the over under work? ;)
I have never seen a person so full of knowledge and so devoid of toxic ego. Thank you Paul. I love your channel.
Thumbs up on your comment. I agree.
Yes! His videos are the most information-dense I've ever seen and completely unambiguous.
That's why I would take advice from Paul over pretty much any other UA-camr who has similar content. No ego, just straight forward information. He doesn't try to pass himself off as Rambo, Super Secret Squirrel Agent Orange, Delta Ranger SEAL Recon Commando action guy.
And as a plus, he's entertaining.
Agreed. It's nice to learn from a guy like this.

Love Paul's channel...no tacti-tats, no tacti-beard, no tacti-lingo...he's like the Bob Ross of gun channels.
I like Bob Ross
Its a breath of fresh air. No promoting the weekend warrior life style.
Right here we have maybe another little happy soda jug
Idk if hed say, "There are no mistakes, only happy accidents" 😂
Who cares if someone has tattoos or breads or not?
He's like the world's most patient Dad teaching his kid about the fundamentals of firearms. He's easy to understand, doesn't talk down to you, and he educates you in such a way that you come away feeling like you've actually learned something useful, and genuinely want to learn more.

Kudos Paul....
you've successfully convinced me stay with what you know....and simplicity and capacity...
love it....
God speed
Well hello bastiat, how's the fight against the government going ?
He only talks down to fools and idiots, but it's amusing to say the least.
And this is why Paul’s awesome! He doesn’t tout his accolades and he doesn’t talk down to me as a comparatively new enthusiast.
He's good like that. 👍
He also keeps politics strictly out of the presentations. Factual, informative videos need no political spin.
He's excellent. Also, try Chris Baker at Lucky Gunner.
@#1 Mawg I haven't ordered from them recently, but I have had a couple thousand rounds from them reach my door. I'd just call them if you'd like to buy some ammo right now. I bet they're operating.
Top quality channel. Number one for me with Mr. Jerry Miculek. He always keeps his videos informative and focused on the topic, with a little taste of eighties, very well done, Paul! 👍🏻
Paul Harrell: essential service.
Should be played in schools
100%!!
AKA, the fuckin King!
Agree, essential . Also nice hat!
Absolutely
Who else is intimately familiar with the firearms he mentioned here, but stuck around because Paul's videos are just awesome to watch?
Always enjoy his videos and learn something every time.
i just like his jacket, where can i get one. let me know
I wanted to learn the best ways to explain them to newbies. I learned a lot
Absolutely!
yuppers
Paul hates how stupid people are, but he teaches them anyway and he does it as nice as he can. Good man.
After reading your comment , I realized your right he does know I'm stupid lol
being an instructor does tend to lower onces expectations of peoples ability to reason
Yes I’m very estooped
It's easy to understand why he was an instructor for such a long time.
Not knowing something doesn't make you stupid. Not trying to learn about something important is what makes you stupid.
To any new people here: listen closely, Paul is probably the most knowledgeable firearm person online.
I would amend that slightly from the most knowledgeable to the most useful.
@@craigbenz4835 Ian McCollum is super skilled too.
Yeah, I second the other guy. Ian McCollum is the most knowledgeable. Paul just gives the most solid, practical advice.
Real Honesty with real first hand knowledge
@@russetwolf13 : I agree.
This is how an adult and a professional does a firearm presentation, Caleb.
If you listen closely, you can hear Caleb still holding his ass after Paul reamed him.

Paul : " You want anything to drink?"
Guest : " Sure, what do you have?"
Paul : *Pulls bottle from jacket* "I've got this 2.5 litre of Shasta, orange flavoured, carbonated beverage"
I like tiki punch the best
He reads it off like an MRE
Paul: "I don't care for it, but you be the judge."
I wouldn't suggest accepting that bottle. No reason.
HERE LET ME OPEN THAT FOR YOU ...LOL
As a former infantryman who also did nothing noteworthy, I really appreciate Paul's honesty in this regard. It's also one of the first things I mention whenever I talk about my enlistment.
I think if I ever served in the military I would want a boring enlistment. sounds a lot better than hoofing packs in Afghanistan.

I’m just a grease monkey, sometimes a cable dog.
I was A RTO in Vietnam most of the time in fire fights I very seldom returned fire because I was busy on the radio getting supporting arms on the horn. Most of the time my ammo was passed on to the line guys.
@@daniedarlingricketts4943 you where still contributing and doing an important job
To any new gun owners or prospective owners: Welcome to the community. This channel is one of the best.
And don't be intimidated most people are usually very nice.
Agreed
Paul has to be one of the best if not the best spoken civilian situational firearm defense training channels on UA-cam, period. Like a Glock trigger pull is the same every time, so is Paul's attitude and demeanor. Just remember, he is a trained professional. He has only good advice to offer, and some serious accuracy burned into his muscle memory. Also, Oregonians, are generally speaking fantastic people, I may be a little bias growing up in Washington with a lot of the family in Prineville Or.
Hopefully they find this channel and learn something !
Good evening my fellow first time buyers!
I love this guy. His stoic yet humorous instruction is the best of the best.
I thought that would be enough on it's own to discourage intruders
@DV8 *** I find your comment quite verbose.
😐
Almost like a military instructor...
I watch all of his videos all the way through. I can't say that about many other channels except maybe Steve1989 MRE videos lol.
I find his prototypical instruction sagacious. (I'm not sure what I just said)
Did not pick up a speech impediment. Either he is a perfectionist, or it was a technique to make sure we listen to every word. Genius.
He's a perfectionist. From what people say about him he indeed had a speech impediment.
@@jumpkickman1993 are you trying to say its both?
Paul does speak a little slower. He chooses his words with care and uses them very precisely. Something which people who've overcome their speech impediment often do.
27:18 has a very slight pause before the word pistol
He also considers the way he pronounces words like barrel as "burral" a speech impediment.
Note how he keeps his eyes on us while he’s reloading. This guy’s deadly in the dark too.
Don't know what would be worse, an icy stare from Chuck Norris or a stern gaze with furrowed brow from Paul Harrell!!😬
...KNOWS (his) firearms, ETC
That’s what she said
"You're right up front or you're left behind."
Learned something today.
i'm a lefty, they always told me to shoot back to front: middle finger on the back trigger, index on the front. that way, i know not to shoot the right barrel unless i want a squished middle finger and a very unpleasant negligent discharge.
i have been told since that my handling of shotguns is either "rural", "hillbilly", or "antiquated". as an aside, i'm uncomfortable on single-trigger shotguns and my trigger discipline is worthy of the olympics.

@@charleslennon1 Probably in the safe next to his Beretta 92 keeping it company.
I guarantee you he rotates them out. No man can stay away from any one gun forever.
No joke, I've been carrying a Glock 27 and 22 for 25 years have been feeling the urge to pull the trigger on a P320 ever since I bought my P365. The more and more I handle the Sig 9, the more I feel myself wanting to leave my Glocks. The ending of this video just nudged me over the edge. Luckily, I still have a source for one and I'm going with FDE color because... that's what Paul has. lol...
@@bradbowhunts your p365 wouldn't happen to be the SAS version would it? I'm curious to know what others think about those sights.
It's far past time for merchandise. I want a T shirt that says, "There's a caveat to that" with a picture of Paul shooting that revolver in the plaid sport coat.
Don't forget that it was at a meat target!

Now that IS a crowd pleaser!
I carry a gun, because a Chieftan tank is just too heavy. :)
you can buy tanks so go for it
To those newbies: this is a real treat! Paul NEVER introduces himself. He is too awesome and modest to do so.
He's too busy warping time and mass with that jacket to introduce himself in most cases; Walking around with an unnoticeable armory takes some effort :p
I've been watching his videos for a while and at one point I even searched earlier videos just to find one where he pronounces his last name, because I wanted to talk to my gun friend about him but I didn't know how to pronounce his last name correctly
Although the video where he scolded mr mouth(gun nuts) was about 1 of the best vids i have seen from PH. The last 10 minutes of that video was about as sharp as sharp could be,he cut dat happy juiced snot nosed pup 10 ways from sunday.
Paul giving a report to command after destroying an entire tank battalion with a .38Spc revolver:
"Nothing noteworthy."
The way he says "nothing noteworthy" tells me he has a medal of honor in a sock drawer that he's not allowed to talk about.
and "You be the judge"
"Could have been done swifter... With a speedloader, but overall. Not bad"
@@regularfather4708 or maybe he doesn't want to remember/talk about it.

I have been shooting, hunting, carrying, as well as being a security guard and armored truck driver (years ago) for over 4 decades, as well as a state champion trap shooter and firearms enthusiast. And yet, this is the 4th time I am watching this video. Do I learn something new each time? No. Do I refresh what I do know and still enjoy this a lot more than the crap on TV or most of the internet today? YES. Thank you Paul. Keep it up. You have a true following.

Came for the caveats , stayed for the yabuts.
I’m still bad at noticing his speech impediment.
Automatiic yea same, I think he just means that what he thinks isn’t always what he says, idk
His "begining of time explanations" are AWESOME is you can find them.
"stayed for ya butt"
Caveat***
You know what I love about your videos? You’re so normal. No tacti-cool, no drama, just matter of fact practical advice.
It’s particularly applicable to people who live in countries where firearms are less common, far more regulated and lacking in options regarding training. For instance in Australia you need to be a member of a club and compete to own a handgun. If you aren’t a professional shooter you can’t own a semi automatic long gun
As a hunter you can only own a bolt action, lever action or pump action rifle. Or a single/double barrel or lever/straight pull action shotgun
Furthermore you can only own a calibre that is suited to the game you wish to hunt, like a .22 for rabbits, .357 magnum for goats or a .308 for camels. You can’t own a firearm for self defence but there are situations where it may be legally acceptable to use one in that regard
Having a good understanding of the expansive range of firearms and their use and application is a good place to start if you want to gain ownership of one and this video is great
Paul, as a 70+ vet (USA RVN) shooting for at least 60 of those years I still found this lesson informative and useful. Thanks for your 20+ uniformed service years and especially for your continued service as a UA-cam gun guru. Semper fi, mac.
I catch most of Paul's vids and the bit where the pump action locked him out still taught me something.
shooting for a long time does not equate to any level of knowledge or skill. one example would be an 80 year old female who has been driving for more than 60 years who doesn't know the first thing about automobiles and at no point in her life was able to parallel park

Been going down the rabbit hole of Paul Harrel videos since his extremely unfortunate death. I want to record all of these on DVDs or a hard drive just to make sure they are never lost, (not to distribute). This is some world class instruction happening here folks. Previously people would have to pay for this, and we are getting it for free.
Even when most of us n the gun community want to shout "I told you so" at the folks who have become suddenly enthusiastic about guns, Paul comes through as a true ambassador and a great role model for us all. We should welcome them and offer our knowledge humbly, that they might vote with us in the near future.
Hard to get over the absolute dumbassery we've had to put up with over the years from Obama to Oprah.
@@arnox4554 Easy be an informed, calm, ambassador like Paul.
Do not deride someone for their former choices. Welcome them. Teach them.
When this is over some might go back to their previous life, but some wont.
Yes,to get them to vote with us gun lovers would be gr8,but they really need to know the ins & outs about safety & the proper ways to handle them & how to keep them properly maintained. Maybe now these anti gun freaks will understand just how important our 2nd is,without the 2nd,all the others would be stripped so fast,we wouldn't be able to keep up with whats being stripped & when.
@Jeffrey Bone yeah. But where are you going to find that? Mayor to Senator determines more for you and your area than who becomes President. Congress used to matter more. Now, it's a political side show.
@ You represent the best of America, the hope of the immigrant, and exactly the correct view I've come to: if you don't like America you are perfectly free to move to the country of your choosing that aligns more with what you *think* your politics are. IF they'll have you. But don't count on being free to come back. Thanks for your loyalty to the Constitution, B Man.
Look at this guy, standing out in the rain for your education and entertainment. What a champion.

Paul, as a first time gun buyer last year, I wanted to express my gratitude for your youtube videos. They are a valuable resource for someone new to firearm ownership. As somebody majoring in Biology, I love the way you present the material and how you give practical advice. My whole family always refer to your videos as a resource. I was able to make educated decisions with the information presented at hand.

People, young and old take notice. I have taught basic firearms training for almost 20 years. It gets no better than this. This man is a true master at his craft.
I really appreciate the fact that he is not fear-mongering, simply answering the questions that some might have.
Ive got a question! How is a a firearm going to be of any use during a viral pandemic
@@Bugman541 It's not the pandemic per se; it's the unfortunate result of efforts to keep the virus from spreading. The economy is suffering, people are scared/broke, and might cross lines they wouldn't normally cross. Addicts may be less able to get their drug of choice and try to break into someone's home to steal, etc. For many of us, missing a couple of paychecks can be near- disastrous.
drumrnva those problems apply to every country on the planet. It’s weird how Americans somehow manage to squeeze deadly firearms into every aspect of life. Oh well, it’s none of my business really.
@@Bugman541 As desperation increases due to economic downturns more people turn to crime, hence the need for protection. I'm repeating what drumrnva said because for some reason it didn't register in your head. Your response didn't dismiss anything he just said. People want to defend their lives and those they care about. That isn't some strange concept that only applies Western civilizations.
Letholdus Aurelius of all the western nations, yours is the only one with a gun fetish. I’m not judging that - I’m saying that your assertion that every country is the same- is not true. You are.... unique.. in a special kind of way.

A gun in hand is worth more than an entire police force on the phone.
That is a good saying.
That is a funny saying.
The police aren't even obligated to protect you, which makes that gun even more valuable.
When the difference between life and death is measured in seconds, the police are mere minutes away.
@Jonn Porter, I like that! My favorite Concealed Carry saying is ..... "I will never hesitate to shoot the bad guy, better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6" !
Take it from a Paul Harrell regular, the beer thing doesn't change much as firearms go with me. You new folks need a lot of catching up to do. I would fill my free time in isolation watching Paul's Videos. I guarantee you will be enlightened. He is the best gunslinger out there, all while making a fashion statement and driving the price of retro hunting clothing up on Ebay.

i find it very cool that paul was completely reasonable and talked through everything and was not condescending to people who don't know about guns. This is why I go to paul.
The reason is if the gun community welcomes those currently desperate with open arms, they have higher chances in the future for more members and better public opinion, and that is a good thing
@@Tri_Nitro On the money there.
Those in the gun community who insult, act like know-it-alls, go mall ninja, or otherwise put an unappealing first impression of gun owners in the person of themselves do us no favors by turning off those just getting interested in guns for the first time.
Being a good representative of gun owners by demonstrating proper safety unfailingly and using the proper demeanor to introduce those new shooters to guns will do us all a favor down the road, especially when it comes to defeating these authoritarians in friendly politician attire who would like nothing more than taking away as many of our guns as they can get their grubby little tyrant hands on.
I couldn't have said it better. Paul is the best.
@@Tri_Nitro Amen brother. Newbees don't need to be choked by an obnoxious red pill.
This is very true!
Rest in peace my friend
What? When did he pass?
If you feel cheated because he gave 6 and the title says 10, here's four more:
1. Always keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction, away from anything you're not comfortable destroying.
2. Treat every firearm as loaded until you visually and manually verify it is not, even if the person handling it before you did exactly that.
3. Do not put your finger on the trigger until you have the firearm pointed at something you're comfortable doing irreparable harm. (Mr. Harrell referenced this)
4. Know what's behind your target.
If you're going to keep firearms, know these rules by heart. They will prevent the vast majority of negligent discharges.
Also, great video. I've been watching a lot of his stuff in the past few weeks and I find Mr. Harrell's voice rather calming.
Excellent points for those new to firearm interest and everybody else too!
I was taught #4 as, "Know what you are going to hit when you miss what you are trying to hit".
Stephen Well played, sir.
I'm SO glad my dad taught me #4 - it saved his life the first time he took me hunting!
Another very, very, very important rule that, which because I knew it, and followed it strictly, saved someone's life, and spared me lifelong guilt and prison time when I was a young man of 22. Never shoot at anything you can't 100%...positively...with no doubt whatsoever, identify as in what or who it is. Even if you're literally 99% sure of what you're about to shoot, don't squeeze that trigger.
Fairly familiar w firearms but learned something about double barrel shotguns "right up front or left behind"...
Thanks Paul!
I found that tidbit very informative as I did not know that prior to this video.
With the pump shot gun I swear he was going to say, “This is a pump shotgun, they’re many like it, but this one is mine.”
Same
I was waiting for "This one is MINE" OORAH!
I was a little disappointed when he didn't, but then reflected that he has many. If he were to say that about any of them it probably would have been one of the 1897 shotguns.
I went there too 👍
Hey Alec I got a kick out of that. I remember quite well saying the same about my M14! Semper Fi!
Paul: “I’m just going to reload with this loose ammunition”
Me: “There is no way he doesn’t have a sp-“
Paul: “Yes I know, we’ll get to that in a second.”
That brown jacket is like a magician's hat. You never know what he'll pull out of it. I'm willing to bet he could keep taking stuff out of those pockets and never run out.
i think he is a sorcerer
"Magician's Hat" - *does scarf trick but instead of unlimited scarves it's a belt of bullets.

My laptop has poor speakers, so I turned on auto subtitling. The background rain noise in several segments is picked up as [applause]. Well deserved.
That is amazing

Even nature is excited when Paul speaks.
"Anta koso ga, shoujiki mono sa..."
I always use subtitles, I’ve noticed that it often interprets gunfire for applause.

Thanks again Mr. Harrell.
I caught that too. ;). Understood.
Here's a saying I've heard more than a few times over the years: Beware the old hunter who only owns 1 rifle; for it's likely he's very good with it.
Quiet Bubba
That Old Hunter has a very hefty set of Depends to go with that saying.
I've never met anyone with only one gun who I would consider to be very good. Usually if someone puts in the time to practice and uses their guns, they realize that different guns have advantages and disadvantages. This is one of those silly "wise" sayings that gets spread and people for some reason believe it.
@@CovidLover I've met 3...
one was an Uncle of mine who was extraordinarily good with a Lee-Enfield SMLE he'd bought after the war, just like the one he used in Service, and on the Company shooting team. For fun they'd shoot 1 foot square plates at 800 yards.
1 was a cousin of my dad's who possessed exceptional skill with a beaten-up Winchester '94 in .30-30 who was unusually proficient in knocking multiple whitetail deer down in succession as they ran through his favourite coulee as the dogs sent them through ( his record being 4 bucks with 4 shots at a bouncing run (( we thought he was in trouble firing a rapid signal)) but by the time we all ran there, he'd dragged all 4 together and was sitting on a fallen log having a smoke like nothing had happened...
and an old Copper worked Metro Division Toronto P.D. from Huntsville who carried an old Savage 99 in .300 Savage who could hit anything he wanted, any time he wanted, offhand, near or far. A box of 20 cartridges lasted him 5 years: 3 to sight in every year and 1 to drop his deer/ bear/ moose.
Those were men to respect for their skill, and definitely not to cross. It's not about limitations. It's about the skill to make a tool exceed it's designed purpose from specialization to multipurpose or beyond.
@Singing Magpie You do not know half his kills were with a sub machine gun inside 100m? Simo was not a camper, he took objectives.
Welcome new - shooters, enthusiasts and owners, to one of the most practical and educational channels on the interest. If you find it boring.... keep on watching and listening.

"The 30-30 is considered a *moderately* powerful rifle" as soda jug disintegrates.
Atomized
.30-30 *is* moderately powerful, the case being significantly shorter than .30-06 and 7.62 NATO.
I see the 30-30 like a medium weight boxer, not too heavy or light.
That's because the 30-30 is designed to dump a massive amount of energy into the target upon impact. Its not super accurate or fast, but if you hit something under 150 yards with it, it will do fatal damage.
It's like the difference between a bus(30-30) hitting something at 60mph vs a corvette(insert your sexy caliber here) hitting something at 120mph. Ultimately they will both do the job, you just have to pick the right one for the situation.
@@oldv1288 those are the ones to be affriad of ay?
When I was a teenager, we had some guy try to walk into our house because he thought that we weren't home. My dad and I both had firearms close enough to grab, but my sister's collie was the first to act and "neutralize the threat", by the time we followed them to where he had collapsed in the yard, he was screaming and crying like a baby. I almost felt bad for the guy. I would never rely solely on a dog, but dogs sure do react faster than a confused human can.

You may not be interested but I'd recommend getting some type of handgun. Shotguns, especially pump shotguns, are great for home defense but you're much more likely to run into trouble when your out and about.
Either way, best of luck to you in these trying times.
not-really-a-gun-owner" why does anyone say this
Another way the concept is presented is * Non Dedicated Gun Owners * . This is a very real thing .
In the Gun Enthusiast Community , we are highly interested in these things , and in person , or print, or online we communicate , and self reinforce . We have to remember we are only a modest slice of the big pie . A substantial number of the total universe of " people who own a firearm " have one or two that at best have plinked or taken afield a time or two many years ago . At worst , it's been in the sock drawer or closet for 20yrs , and never fired .
doesnt cover basic safety tho so it linda sucks ngl

Paul, I am a new gun owner. Yesterday I purchased my 2nd shotgun and it's a mossberg 590S. Can't wait to take it to the range this week. I'm also taking lessons. Took my 1st lesson the other day. The reason I bought a second shotgun was because the 1st one I bought was made in Turkey and it isn't the greatest quality. I'm learning a lot from your videos, thank you.
Was your Turkish shotgun the Citadel arms one? My dad was considering picking it up.
@@hollywoodsfinest399 No it had another name I can't think of it right now. It was a 12 gauge and it also had a pistol grip along with the regular stock. Sorry I don't remember the name, but that wasn't it.
The ole mossy is a relentless beast that will run in any realistic condition. Owned mine for coming up on 5yrs and zero issues. Haven’t cleaned it in 4yrs and I have no concerns. It was put away dirty 4yrs ago and I pulled it back out in the last year and ran a few tubes. As usual, boringly reliable and consistent. Grouping at 25yds is spot on. 00 and 3” sluggers.

Men who brag about their accomplishments merely lack the knowledge and perspective to understand how common men of their caliber really are, and how many of them died just the same as "lesser" or "greater" men. Wise men are not humble, they are humbled by their own knowledge.
This is also the reason why my first firearm is a glock chambered in 9mm. Simple, easy to operate and reliable. Just bought it 4 months ago because of the “Beer time”. Now I can’t decide which will be my next whether to get a remington or mossberg pump.

"Things are not normal." Good perspective for conducting yourself because, when things return to normal, you can expect to be judged and held accountable for your words and actions during these "not normal" times.

Glad to see you doing this Paul, there's a whole lot of people who are buying guns for the first time because of this and I hope they appreciate the advice.
I might just be an ignorrant Norwegian, but why are they buying guns? Are they going to shoot the "beer"? Or the toilet paper hoarders?
@@joachimlarsen2k It's the related issues to the virus, in several locations the police have stated that they won't be showing up to "minor" calls.
What that means only the police know, but it means that people don't feel like they can trust that the police are going to be a simple phone call away, so they feel the need to arm themselves in case something occurs.
The majority of them are urban people who are used to police being all of five minutes or less away, and now the wait time is gonna be much longer. I'm a rural American so it's always been 10+ minutes for me, so this is nothing new, but it is for a lot of people now. So they go get a gun.
I just hope that they go to the range and practice a bit after they get theirs otherwise it won't be much good.
@@joachimlarsen2k we're prepping for the Viking Raids.
Hopefully they will seek proper advice before the purchase of a firearm. I learned many years ago that some firearm store employees just want to sell you a firearm, regardless of if it's right for you.

As a first time gun buyer, I've been planning on getting one for a while but the current atmosphere has risen the priority a little bit, this felt very informative.
did you end up getting a firearm?
You're in the finest category of teachers I've ever encountered.
Mr Harrell: I discovered your channel just as beer was beginning to shift from a concern to a crisis and I've been binge-watching your considerable catalog ever since. I've commented on a few videos to say how much I (like everyone else here) really admire your knowledge and skill, your presentation style and dry wit, and the way you demonstrate high character with how you speak as much as with what you say. This particular presentation demonstrates those qualities in spades. Forgive my lack of brevity, but I want to tell you why I think this.
I am not and never have been a "firearms enthusiast" but I have owned guns since I was 12 (nine if you count my Daisy Cub). Uncles taught me to shoot .22s and shotguns and one gave me the .410 I shot my first (and only) pheasant with at 12. In the 70's working as a security guard I qualified with and carried a vintage S&W Model 10 5-inch, my first handgun. Through the 80's and 90's I gradually collected a medium-caliber rifle, 12 gauge pump and a Beretta 380. I occasionally went to ranges or out in the desert to plink with friends. But then marriage and family and life in general led me to hide everything away in the shop except for the pistol in the bedside table. So I am definitely not what'cha call a professional, but I know my way around a gun or two, even if I am exceedingly rusty.
I lost all those guns (including that .410) to the fire that destroyed almost all of Paradise, California and along with it, our house. Since resettling in Washington last spring I bought a new home-defense 20-gauge pump. I took it to a local range to practice and fell in with some great old trap shooters who let me try out my new Remington against the scourge of clay birds. Even though I could only take down 7 out of 25 at best, mostly out of sheer luck, I caught the bug and in the fall got myself a starter over-under 12. I was spending Tuesdays with these good old boys and was starting to learn how to "see bird, shoot bird" when the beer situation turned me into one of the "Pandemic Gun Buyers" for whom this presentation is intended. I had planned to rebuild my arsenal slowly, going to gun ranges with rentals and trying out a lot of models, especially handguns, since I am unfamiliar with modern products. I was in no hurry, thinking I had a year or so to mess around, study and make good, informed choices.
Then in March I became a panic buyer, although not a complete firearm neophyte. I finished my last purchase a week ago, and based on this presentation, I made good choices. But to the point - I have been watching a lot of videos from firearm "professionals" in the last few weeks and finding your channel was an eye-opener in more ways than one. Not only have I learned a metric butt-ton from you, but your style and demeanor have been refreshing and welcome. As I say, I have never been a firearms enthusiast. I see them as tools for protection or hunting or simple enjoyment of a skill. I enjoy practicing mind-body skills, but I'm too old now to go back to martial arts or disco dancing, so shooting trap is becoming my late-life skill hobby.
And I do believe firearms are, for some people like me, important to have for defense. I believe in homeowners insurance and a spare tire in the trunk as well. So, now that it's my turn to be a panic buyer, being offered your thoughts and experience in your inimitable style has been more valuable than gold or toilet paper. And perhaps most refreshing of all is your treatment of your viewers, myself now included, with respect and without bluster. I no longer watch other gun channels, nor will I unless you recommend one (I've watched a couple of Kentucky Patriot's, and I see why you recommend him). Everyone else seems to be flexing their muscles and beating their chests, treating firearms like fetish objects, arguing arcane minutia like medieval bible scholars and denigrating anyone who isn't preparing for World War Zombie.
To me, you are like those now long-dead uncles who explained the basics, put the gun in my hand and threw empty paint cans in the air to give me practice leading. You explain, you demonstrate, you spin out a few great yarns to illustrate a point, you tell jokes so dry I have to sip vermouth and in doing all that you exude respect for your audience. You demonstrate qualities I consider sorely lacking in the American general public and especially among those who tout themselves as experts in certain contentious topics, politics and firearms being two that seem to attract that most noxious of blowhards, the "Internet Influencer".
In short, thank you for being you, for doing what you do, and for doing that voodoo that you do so well.
You have no reason to apologize for your "lack of brevity", sir. Your statement is to the point without rambling and stays on target thru-out, much like Paul.

This presentation was one of your best by far. For a year or more leading up to my wife obtaining her concealed carry permit here in Texas, I tried in vain to "learn her" how to operate a semi auto in 380. The more I tried to get her familiar with the nomenclature of the firearm, the more confused she became at the range. She finally ask me one day, "don't they make a gun that all I have to do is pull the trigger?" We settled on a Ruger LCR in 38Sp. She is a decent shot at 7yds putting all 5 rds on target center mass. We went with the Ruger because there is no external hammer. She was afraid an exposed hammer might catch on something in the bottom of her purse. Her words, not mine. Bottom line, she is confident in her ability to operate the firearm. Your video made a great point of this and I appreciate it. I should add that she is 64 and I'm 74.
Perfect choice! Concealed hammer .38 snub. No racking, no safety, no mag release. Easy, peazy. Plain jane wadcutter ammo is sufficient, with minimal recoil.
Rory....exactly my thoughts.
That's actually an excellent choice. I've been tempted to buy one myself.
Just be careful about stuff "in the bottom of her purse." While it has a heavy trigger pull, it's not impossible for her to get something wedged such that the trigger could get pulled while retrieving the gun from her purse. I'd suggest (if she is not going to carry on-body) she get a concealed carry purse that has a separate compartment which holds the gun in place, with nothing else in that compartment. Cheers.
gb93....you're not married are you? Just kidding. Women and their purses are like men and their guns. She has two of the concealed carry purses but on any given day she likes a different purse and the concealed carry purse doesn't go with her attire lol. I forgot to mention that the pistol is in a synthetic holster with Velcro around the trigger guard to hold it in.
That was my old man's favorite saying, "When seconds matter, the police are only minutes away." His other was, "Guns cause crime like flies cause garbage."
And crime is a result of garbage, it's up to those with guns to make them fly :P

For those new, or returning after 30+ years (like me, literally) - I'd consider picking up some inert training rounds called 'snap caps'. These can be used to safely conduct loading and handling drills without the use of live ammo if you don't have access to a range. I had a lot of training (too) many years ago, but was very rusty and found them helpful to restore long lost muscle memory. Training rounds do not replace live fire training, but are useful if you haven't been on the bicycle in a while.
I'd also consider thinking about the aftermath. The use of deadly force is serious business, so I'd recommend also looking at Massad Ayoob's channel for a sobering reality check. There are also other channels that cover the topic of 'what to expect when the law shows up'. I had considerable training in the use of deadly force and had very specific rules of engagement in the military. Civilian rules are not the same, so it is wise to educate yourself.
Great channel; compliments to the chef.
Jeff Houser snap caps are essential, as are dry fire practice and malfunction drills.
Good point.
ah, snap caps in the dark
Massad Ayoob is the man when it comes to knowledge of the practical realities, both physiological and legal, of defensive shooting.
Actually, there's a hell of a lot more that he knows and continues to learn and share.
I’ve been a gun enthusiast for many years, with everything from pistols to rifles and shotguns, both new platforms and very old. There was absolutely nothing in this video I would disagree with, and have found myself giving the exact same advice to the same type of people this video is geared towards. Fantastic job, bud!
Whilst Paul was discussing the "beer" and introducing those new to the 2nd Amendment community (welcome to the community by the way, enjoy), he forgot to mention the ear plug case on his shooting jacket.
@Your Kidding there's kind of a running gag in his videos, people are always asking what that thing is dangling from his neck, it's his ear pro in a little container
