You missed the most versatile in my opinion which is the 5.7 x 28mm pistol! Extremely lightweight, easy to carry, well-built, reliable, functional powerful and easy to carry lots of the ammunition in your pockets if you have to get out in a hurry. Also, up to 20 round capacity magazines, it has gone through torture tests in the past from other UA-camrs like gauntlet Tests, and it succeeded to function through everything it was put through.
Yeah I’ll stick to old faithful. Glock 19. Takes both the 15 &. 17rd mags and up. Normally I’d want a 17 but I like the idea of having even more magazine compatibility.
What people forget is in a true end of the world scenario if you’re finding parts, mags, and ammo for any gun you’re often times finding the gun it goes with. So it doesn’t really matter too much what you have
@@roaringsteelmedianaw it aint crazy but its way easier to buy glock parts and they can be found anywhere. Only other gun i can think of finding parts for that easy is the AR15.
I have the p07 and the p09 and the low bore axis on these guns are amazing when it comes to recoil and down sight speed. With a family of 57 guns I’d be grabbing my Glock or my sig. break down, ease of cleaning and the peace of mind of reliability without sacrificing capacity weight and accuracy
You, Sir, AND your Dad, are extremely wise. I heartily endorse your choice. Those limp wristed, soft handed, clog-wearing low T individuals who disdain the caliber and firearm are beneath consideration.
Personality I will take my Ruger Security Six over the S&W because it's built like a tank, however both are fine guns. I would never use what police or military choose as my guide. Their criteria almost never results in the best piece of equipment. Political and budgetary consideration are always part of the formula.
I live in Germany so unfortunately i cannot have a lot of guns. Because of this i went with a CZ Shadow 2 with an Holosun 407k and a just got my PS LOK Grips delivered. now i am just stocking up on ammo ;)
@@alananderson5929 it depends. In Germany you need a card for weapon ownership. There is a green one and a yellow one. The green one is for semi auto rifles and pistols, revolvers and either semi auto or pump action shotguns. With this one you can own two handguns and 4 long guns. You also have to demonstrate a so called need für each buy. Like for hunting or competition. Self defense does not count unfortunately. If you want more, you have to prove that you use them for competition. But hunters are excluded from this rule. They can buy as much as they want. The yellow one is for single shot handguns and longguns and bolt action guns. You can put 10 on that card. You do not have to provide a need for them. Hope that answers your question mate 😂
SUPER surprised that the CZ 75 didn't make it to the list. I've got a CZ 75 SP.01 Tactical and Canik Mete (personalized) that I would and do bet my life on.
@kevinallies1014 that's true about the Canik, though it is becoming more prolific in the US. I know quite a few people who own one. The CZ I feel would be MUCH easier to get parts and mags if needed. I love them both and I know Glock will probably be the top for most, forever. And that's OK. I would 100% take my chances with my CZ. My Canik would just have to stay where it broke if it came down to it. If needs be, I would probably replace it with a Glock 34. But that would be a last ditch solution. I'll definitely ride-or-die with my CZ though. She's worth it in my opinion
SHTF Firearms: MOS Glock 19, AR15(mil-spec) and Ruger's 10/22 Takedown model KISS - These have the most common parts, most commonly found ammo and you can do 90% of your hunting with the relatively quiet 10/22 which breaks down into an easy to carry pack. Remember, there won't be any refrigeration for storage so you'll be hunting smaller game, maybe trapping fish. The smaller the fire and the smaller the caliber you're shooting, the less attention you're going to attract. 9mm and 5.56 are still around for self defense but, due to lack of cold storage, I'd sooner trap/hunt the smaller animals.
@@RobertSmith-kj6eb Theoretically, you won't be carrying the AR around much. 90% of the time, you'll be carrying the .22 and 9mm with the AR left at home. Remember, it's not just the weight of the weapon but that of the ammo too. Once you've secured a BoO then you'll be able to work outwards from there. Gas is only stable for 4-6wks, we'll have that long to travel until we're on foot, horse or bikes. If you have a cache of ammo, parts and other tradeable pieces of kit then you'll want to setup ASAP and spend those 4-6wks searching and scavenging and securing your area. That means traveling light but able to defend at home.
My S&W 686 .357 was my first gun purchase at 18 years old, and I am now 55. Been the best hunting/protection gun I have ever owned, for close quarter or reaching out to touch something. Paired with a (now classic) Galco vertical holster, also bought back in the early 80's when they first opened here in Phoenix (actually they were right around the corner where I worked at the Air Park, along with Dillion Precision, so I was making money and heading to both and spending it). Love my semi-autos, but that 686 is venerable, reliable, accurate, and can club the heck outta someone as well. 😉
Good list, and I love the rationale behind each choice. My CZ P09 Urban Gray (fully cajunized) and P07 (stock...so far) would be my go-tos. I have owned my P09 for almost 8 years, have I literally don't know how many thousand rounds through it, and have had 2 malfunctions (reman garbage that had almost no powder in it, during the pandemic) in that entire time. Suppressed or unsuppressed, it just works.
Glad to see you guys survived the cornado to bring us the content! As a non-Glock owner, I'd have to agree that a Glock would be the best choice for the scenario. The ability to "find" mags, parts, and go a lot more miles between oil changes is a big plus.
This is maybe the best gun demonstration I've ever seen!!..Thank you for giving us some critical information on each and every gun!!.. Sir, u will be one of my major go-to exspert when getting advice on firearms!!..Thank u for everything!
Yes I agree. In fact, I was "certain" that one of Outlaw's pistols was going to be the S&W M&P 2.0. Remember when Outlaw left an M&P outside in the Iowa weather for 3 months, and then picked it up and shot it? I was sure he was going to talk about that again in this video.
Just don't get that range princess dirty during whatever "survival" scenario you're daydreaming about lol, it'll choke up right quick. Better stock up on cleaning patches and lube too, huh?
@eindride1268 don't need anything special for a 1911. If it needs lubed, motor oil works fine. That's how they were meant to be oiled in the first place. They didn't have special lubes when they, as well as other small arms, were first made for military use so it was figured motor oil as universal lube.
1. HK USP Expert with jet funnel and hkparts rail adapter ($29). 2. Beretta WC 92G Brigadier Tactical with magwell kit. 3. CZ 75 SP01 Tactical Custom from CZ Custom. 4. Sig Sauer P226 Legion. 5. Since you showed the X5 Legion and picked the Staccato, Tanfoglio Limited Master Xtreme (proven in competition).
Walther PPQ or PDP. Used extensively with German police and used and abused by gun enthusiasts across the world, there is absolutely no doubt that Walther makes a mean, tough, reliable, and feature packed handgun
As mentioned, HK, and Staccato. produce indestructible firearms. Walther was not included. Because this company may come close. To measuring up, but does not!? So stop crying little fanboy. Because Chris did not bad mouth walther firearm manufacturing company. Another excellent example of my statement is. Beretta firearm manufacturing company. Only receiving an honorable mention. Wait! Did Walther!!!! I am now going to have to rewatch Chris's video.
@@ariesmight6978 Fanboy? Pennsylvania State Police, Brevard County Sheriff's Office, and York County Sheriff's Office. Just a few departments who issue Walthers as their duty weapon. Walther served for decades with many European militaries. It's not "fanboy", it's reality
@@ariesmight6978 Hahaha whatever you say man. I want you to go back and watch the honorable mentions part. Tell me why he didn't include the P-07 or M9. It had nothing to do with reliability. I mean by your logic, any gun he didn't mention isn't worthy. The Colt 1911, the CZ 75, the FN FNX, the Sig P320, the S&W M&P. All notoriously reliable handguns, and ALL handguns he didn't breathe a word about.
The Gen.1,( Made in Germany ) Sig 226 was the first semi-auto, 9mm pistol that I ever shot in 1988 it was a perfect fit for my hands and was already sighted in by the Factory that came with the paper target and signed by the armorer , so it's my favorite and has always worked for me to this Day !
Yep, gotta have a Glock for the end of the world gun. For me, it's the basic gen 3 model 19. The most popular caliber, I have a bunch of mags, and you can use mags from several different Glock models. The mags are anywhere you go. Glock parts are easy to find and just as easy to install, not that you'd need them. I bought mine in 2009, I've put thousands of rounds through it and never had a malfunction. That's probably the most important thing in a shtf firearm. It has to work every time.
@mikect500 Nice! I have several Glocks. The oldest one has only 2 letters and three numbers in the serial number. It's in one of the Tupperware boxes. It looks its age, too. But, looks don't matter. It shoots as good as my gen 5 model 19.
@SuicideVan Absolutely right. I've only handled one Glock that would have a malfunction about every third round. It belonged to a coworker. He inherited it from his dad. It was an early model 19. His dad was into competition shooting, and he had put every hotrod part and spring in it for competition. The major problem was light primer strikes. My coworker wanted a properly functioning gun. He paid for the parts, and I replaced everything in the slide with oem Glock parts. The only part I left alone was the 3.5 lb connector his dad had put in. Afterward, that 19 functioned like new again.
Ive watched so many videos by you about the 19x (a future purchase) that you're all over my feed. No need to fight it, im subscribing, you are the best in the gun review business! ⚔️🇺🇸
Excellent point!!! Thank you for raising this…I am not a woman, but my hands are small nonetheless…and I’m not a fan of recoil…I would LOVE to see Mrs.’s Outlaw’s list!! 😃👍🫡
Love that you picked the S&W 686 6” for the revolver slot. I bought mine about six years for two reasons: 1. Because they are WAY better, more popular, and more common than other “Big Nasties”, 2. For the apocalypse. I mean I’d probably grab a couple guns between the wife and I, but that 686 is the only one with a guaranteed ticket 😂. You also forgot to mention that it can fire 38 Special, which doubles your chance of finding more ammo, especially since both 357 and 38 Spc are two of the most common calibers in the US, especially for revolvers.
I agree with your thoughts. The gun I pick for the coming sh!storm should be a very common make in the most common caliber. Parts and ammunition availability is paramount
It’s not for everyone but my Ride or die is my Jericho 941!! And more recently as backup the Masada slim. I really like Most IWI stuff.my P09 is a banger also.
Thanks for the compliment on the Texas Rangers!! Me and Tony Pignato put that deal together for active and retired Rangers. Staccato still takes care of the Rangers today.
My list would probably be CZ 75, Sig P226, S&W M&P M2, Beretta 92 (specifically the M9A1 variant), Glock 17/19. All of these are super wide spread, you could scavange parts from less fortunate survivors or law-enforcement/military, 9mm is the most common caliber, stores (before they are totally ransacked) would have parts, magazines and ammo for them. The Glock 17 or 19 are the most common handguns worldwide as far as I know, so you'd have the best chance of finding spare parts.
I love those guns, but I think conceal-ability is a critical component for EOTW situations, especially if you live in a more urban/suburban environment. Open carrying a fine handgun on your hip would paint a pretty big target on your back in a world where resources are short and people are scared. Here’s my list for everyone to shit on: 1. Glock 19/48 2. HK P30SK. 3. CZ P01/P07 4. SW M&P 2.0 subcompact 5. Sig P365X Macro Nothing fancy because for all the money you’d spend on a Staccato most people would be better off buying ammo and taking a few classes.
I understand the reasoning behind the staccato but it is the only one I would leave off. There is no arguing any of the other choices on your list. Bravo sir!
I buy a maverick 88 Everytime I see one for $200 or less. Theyre kinda like batteries. Good to have backups all over the house. Same reliability as the 500 and 590 for dirt cheap.
I have most of these. Glock 17 easy pick. Simple to repair, easy to find parts, reliable and accurate. The rest are great but, parts are hard to find. Most you need to go to school to fix. Just to complex for the end of the world.
I think the 19 is a little better of a choice as it is the most popular size and can still fit 17 or larger mags where with the 17 you need full sized magazines.
@@F30__Zay I personally have a 47 for home defense and a 43 for carry, if I had to have only one I'd probably go with 19 and use the big mags in the bedside table and flush out and about.
@@SuicideVannah that take the same parts and the bigger grip is better especially end of the world situation the shorter grip is just for better concealment no one needs to conceal or worry about printing at that point
@@Nollideel but you can't fit any Glock 19 mags you come across. You didn't think about that did you? There are probably 10x the Glock 19 mags in existence as they are 17 mags. Even the LAPD and CHP standard issue the 19 and many shooters find the ergonomics of the 19 to be better and the shorter sight radius faster to aquire. Don't care if they call it "compact" it is not a compact pistol.
I rarely agree with most of the choices on lists like these, but this is literally the exact 5 handguns I would pick (though maybe not in the same order).
I think most people would hunker down where they are and use their arsenal & food storage without migrating if possible. So be prepared and use all the firearms you want/got for the specific situation.
I'd have to put my Beretta 92x centurion-G on the list. Never had a malfunction, it's not ammo picky, excellent trigger, accurate, plenty of magazines out there that won't break the bank.
No, in my humble opinion, I Revolver would be the ideal end of the world weapon handgun wives because the magazine is always with the gun. You never have to look for a magazine. You never have to look for more magazines. It’s already there just like a tubular magazine on a lever action rifle it’s always theremay be slower reloading, but you’ll never lose it in the end of the world situation. You may not have access to extra magazines. They may not be available so with revolver you’re always ready for action. Just my opinion and thanks for your review.
@@thefrogking481 I had a new Browning Hi-Power jam on me twice. Traded it in on a revolver & never looked back. That was 30 years ago. Never a failure!
@terryballard4674 I still have my HiPower. Never had any feeding issues. I guess someone already broke it in. My new one, yes. After break in, flawless. Properly lubed and it will always run. Just how 1911's are.
Definitely an extremely helpful video. NEWSFLASH: HK USP EXPERT sells for around $1,500 - $1,600. That's TWO G34s kitted out. And then there's the cost of the mags. HK mags are not inexpensive, again about 2X the Glock mags. Two is one after all. :)
What does kitted out mean to you? Putting a dot and a light on the gun and you are at that price unless you are going budget all the way around. Two dots and youre eating up half of that
P2000 is a more modern version of the USP with better controls. The P30 is the latest iteration of the USP but I believe the p2000 is the best one as it is shorter and easier to conceal. You can also have it cut for an RMR and upgraded by LTT. - Costs $650.
My top 5 end of the world pistols would be.. No particular order.. 1. Sig Classic Series ( P226 or P229).. 2. Glock or Shadow Systems ( G45 , G47 , XR920 or DR920 ).. 3. CZ 75 Series ( P07 , P09 , or SP01).. 4. H&K USP or P30.. 5. Ruger MK IV 22/45.. My Top 5 Carbines for the End Of the World.. No particular order.. 1. Centurion CM4 Midweight HF.. 2. Colt / Colt Canada M4A1.. 3. SOLGW M4-89 V2 HF.. 4. BCM RECCE BFH or EMWF.. 5. Geissele Super Duty..
Im a huge investor and a factory trained armorer for the hk usp series. I carry a usp compact 9mm daily but dont think id recommend it for the end of the world. Its very difficult to repair and make parts for. Id put most HK products in that category. If they are running, they are durable and run well, if they break, they are done without support. The p226 is almost the same thing, the small parts interchange with most P-200 series pistols and they have sold a bunch. Wheel guns, especially colts are too complicated and require hardened parts internally. Colts destroy themselves due to the hand and bolt issue that is caused by the rotation. I like the idea of a wheelgun but not sure about durability and repair. Stacatto is not great, you have to keep it damn clean. My XC has issues when it gets dirty. Id go with a looser tolerance pistol. I understand its your opinion. Id go with a beretta, glock and the 320. They are all plentiful, I carry a glock when im going on the water. I carry a 20 because it can handle gators, my local leo department carries a 21 so it swaps parts. For a wheel gun, model 10 smith wesson, 629, 69 etc. All have good uses. Personally im keeping the B&T Station six (45) my wife bought me for my birthday close. It has great potential because most of all it keeps people from knowing you are around. Last of the mohicans taught us to never fire twice because nobody gets a location from a single shot. Everyone finds you in 2 shots.
"If you run out of ammo, you could use it as a melee device!" LMAO Check that! Smiles departed when I heard you pick a "Crock" as the best choice. 😂😂😂😂
Best video to wake up to in the morning. Amazing list and I love the logic behind each one. Here is my personal list in no particular order with pistols that I have experience with (there are better ones out there based on history/legacy like the HK USP but I never shot one or even held one): - Glock 45 - Beretta 92 series - Sig P226 - a 1911 - Smith and Wesson Model 686/ Ruger GP100 depending on your preference. I like both so I’m cheating by putting both.
I love your work as always, my #1 choice on UA-cam, BUT, how did your beloved CZ-75 (variant) not make it??? And to add insult to injury, a GLOCK???? Might as well put on some nut hugger shorty shorts and change your name to James Reeves Junior!
You made my day. I decided to buy a end of the world gun two years ago; I'm really a Beretta fan, a 1911 fan and a wheel gun fan but: after I thought about reliability, weight, availability, durability and adaptability for a while, I bought a Glock 41.
I would love a list video from you where you briefly go through building a do-all AR, different uppers and lowers from different brands at different price points and the cliffs notes of what someone building one for the first time would need to know. I’ve made sure the two handgun purchases I’ve made have been vetted by you, and have not been disappointed so would love something about AR’s. As always love the honest content, keep it up! You guys are appreciated

Sweet! You can never go wrong with the G34. I got a custom built gen3. Spectra p80 lower, Patmos slide, Shadow systems striker pin and trigger, NDZ 17lb guide rod. No recoil. Stay safe.
No reason the USP series should be controversial in this video I would agree with everything sans the staccato Great handgun I just wouldn’t want it in an end of world scenario as my preferred choice Any full sized Glock in 9mm would do just fine for myself or anyone here honestly Like these videos and value your opinions ✌️🇺🇸
Awesome video Outlaw. Huge thanks on this info, especially on the Glock. BTW, Absolutely loving my Radical AR and was so thrilled to see you post it in your last budget video. Moving the topic from handguns to rifles, I would be so curious to know your "End of the World" scenario for rifles. If you had to choose 5 rifles to take with you, for all the similar reasons as the handguns, it would be awesome to know your picks and why! There is a great deal I am still learning about bolt action and shotguns and my gut tells me you might have one of each on your list! :D Big thanks again ~
Living by the sea on an island, the SIG P226 Mk. 25 was my choice for a long term sidearm for the end of the world scenario. I practice on this pistol every time I’m at the range.
@@mikect500 I tried semi-autos...back in the 80's, I bought a brand new Browning Hi-Power 9mm. It jammed on me twice in 6 months. I can't take that risk ever again....
Huge fan of H.O. content. One of my most trusted tubers. I have to call this one a "miss" though. Felt way more like an excuse to put 5 more pistols in a video, for which I would say, just release an occasional "spotlight" video of guns that are on your mind. This did not feel like it had nearly enough thought for "End of the World" choices. Staccato, USP, 34? An end of the world choice implies that your choosing a sidearm for which you will potentially never see products or support for, ever again. 686, M1911, P226, Beretta 92, Glock 19 Gen3 or older. Reliability, durability, and availability of parts and magazines. I understand the reality is that it doesn't much matter what pistol you choose if the world is ending. Its unlikely to ever clear your holster as it is only a secondary firearm, but if we are theory crafting, as the title implies, I'd have found the video far more interesting If you had actually dove into it.
In my opinion, the G23 is the best handgun in the world! You can shoot 4 caliber’s through this gun by swapping out barrels/mags. I currently shoot 9mm through mine with a lone wolf barrel. 9mm are cheaper, but if I get.40 cal at a good price, I change barrels/mags and I’m good to go.
When I'm looking into a new pistol purchase I watch your videos for your review of that model before purchase. Great content 👌 thanks for all the videos and great reviews!
I’m good to about 50-70 yards just depends on the pistol. My CZ p09 I’m 70 yards my 19 43x and sigs I’m still getting 30-50 yards. Idk that low bore axis on that cz is really a charm in accuracy just took me awhile to feel her out
Grip is the most important thing when it comes to pistol marksmanship. Master a tight, vice-like grip that allows you to ratchet down the gun. Learn the trigger wall in your gun, learn to break the wall back to the rear without disrupting your sights. Focus on developing grip, relaxed shoulders, and your pistol marksmanship will change forever.
Chris, you have repeatedly extolled the H&K USP Expert, and it doubtless is a superb autoloader. However, you never even mention the H&K USP Tactical, chambered in .45 ACP. That, I believe, is myopic and biased. The original .45 USP Tactical has every advantage and design innovation of the Expert - and there are many - but its Mark 23 roots are even deeper than the remainder of the USPs, which indicate unequalled quality, deign engineering, reliability, durability and accuracy. Moreover, for any “End of the World” scenario, I’d prefer a handgun that can fire unlimited quantities of all .45 ACP rounds (including .45 Super). You’re a virtually peerless marksman, but for most of us the power of a 230 grain .45 ACP load, fired from a 5.1 inch polygonal hammer forged barrel, may compensate for your excellence with a diminutive 9x19mm.
The USP 45 can't fire unlimited quantities of 45 Super. The manual to my USP 45 states that 45 +p can be fired but will wear the pistol faster, and firing 45 super will void the warranty. Only the Mark 23 is rated for 45 Super.

Yeah I’ll stick to old faithful. Glock 19. Takes both the 15 &. 17rd mags and up. Normally I’d want a 17 but I like the idea of having even more magazine compatibility.

@@alananderson5929 it depends. In Germany you need a card for weapon ownership. There is a green one and a yellow one. The green one is for semi auto rifles and pistols, revolvers and either semi auto or pump action shotguns. With this one you can own two handguns and 4 long guns. You also have to demonstrate a so called need für each buy. Like for hunting or competition. Self defense does not count unfortunately.
If you want more, you have to prove that you use them for competition.
But hunters are excluded from this rule. They can buy as much as they want.

@kevinallies1014 that's true about the Canik, though it is becoming more prolific in the US. I know quite a few people who own one.
The CZ I feel would be MUCH easier to get parts and mags if needed.
I love them both and I know Glock will probably be the top for most, forever. And that's OK. I would 100% take my chances with my CZ. My Canik would just have to stay where it broke if it came down to it. If needs be, I would probably replace it with a Glock 34. But that would be a last ditch solution.
I'll definitely ride-or-die with my CZ though. She's worth it in my opinion
@@bearsikes1311I just got a p07 and so far I absolutely love it
I love when Outlaw paints his nails to really show off the elegance of the firearms
SHTF Firearms: MOS Glock 19, AR15(mil-spec) and Ruger's 10/22 Takedown model
KISS - These have the most common parts, most commonly found ammo and you can do 90% of your hunting with the relatively quiet 10/22 which breaks down into an easy to carry pack. Remember, there won't be any refrigeration for storage so you'll be hunting smaller game, maybe trapping fish. The smaller the fire and the smaller the caliber you're shooting, the less attention you're going to attract. 9mm and 5.56 are still around for self defense but, due to lack of cold storage, I'd sooner trap/hunt the smaller animals.
Do you really want to carry around 3 guns though? Maybe just get a suppressor and threaded barrel for the glock.
@@RobertSmith-kj6eb Theoretically, you won't be carrying the AR around much. 90% of the time, you'll be carrying the .22 and 9mm with the AR left at home.
Remember, it's not just the weight of the weapon but that of the ammo too. Once you've secured a BoO then you'll be able to work outwards from there. Gas is only stable for 4-6wks, we'll have that long to travel until we're on foot, horse or bikes. If you have a cache of ammo, parts and other tradeable pieces of kit then you'll want to setup ASAP and spend those 4-6wks searching and scavenging and securing your area. That means traveling light but able to defend at home.
Exactly. The perfect, practical list.
My S&W 686 .357 was my first gun purchase at 18 years old, and I am now 55. Been the best hunting/protection gun I have ever owned, for close quarter or reaching out to touch something. Paired with a (now classic) Galco vertical holster, also bought back in the early 80's when they first opened here in Phoenix (actually they were right around the corner where I worked at the Air Park, along with Dillion Precision, so I was making money and heading to both and spending it). Love my semi-autos, but that 686 is venerable, reliable, accurate, and can club the heck outta someone as well. 😉
Good list, and I love the rationale behind each choice. My CZ P09 Urban Gray (fully cajunized) and P07 (stock...so far) would be my go-tos. I have owned my P09 for almost 8 years, have I literally don't know how many thousand rounds through it, and have had 2 malfunctions (reman garbage that had almost no powder in it, during the pandemic) in that entire time. Suppressed or unsuppressed, it just works.
P09 does not get enough love, definitely.
Glad to see you guys survived the cornado to bring us the content!
As a non-Glock owner, I'd have to agree that a Glock would be the best choice for the scenario. The ability to "find" mags, parts, and go a lot more miles between oil changes is a big plus.
A non-glock owner😂 . Are we NGO's , like a fringe minority. I'm not a POC but I'm a NGO 😂

M&P 2.0 it’s unkillable.
Agreed!❤️
It hurt your feelings
@HWG-wm8ld not really. I got a Glock too 🤣
Yes I agree. In fact, I was "certain" that one of Outlaw's pistols was going to be the S&W M&P 2.0. Remember when Outlaw left an M&P outside in the Iowa weather for 3 months, and then picked it up and shot it? I was sure he was going to talk about that again in this video.
@jamesgloriod7195 Garand Thumb froze a bunch of pistols (and rifles) but the M&P and 1 other were the only ones to work out of the bunch ❤️
I really expected to see the m&p 2.0 on this list
Same! Or even on the honorable mention list
same.
M&P2.0 is the Toyota Hilux of the gun world
Staccato at the end of the world. “May not be for everyone because of the Price point?”
It’s the end of the world. Put it on your credit card, lol.
I think the point is that if something breaks, good luck finding a replacement part.
Good luck finding somewhere that accepts credit cards at the end of the world 🤣.
In America if you make it long enough to break a weapon plenty will be available to replace it. Just a fact of war.
Just don't get that range princess dirty during whatever "survival" scenario you're daydreaming about lol, it'll choke up right quick. Better stock up on cleaning patches and lube too, huh?

You're gonna need a lot of Clp for that 1911, and a couple trigger return springs for that Cz
@eindride1268 don't need anything special for a 1911. If it needs lubed, motor oil works fine. That's how they were meant to be oiled in the first place. They didn't have special lubes when they, as well as other small arms, were first made for military use so it was figured motor oil as universal lube.

Walther PPQ or PDP. Used extensively with German police and used and abused by gun enthusiasts across the world, there is absolutely no doubt that Walther makes a mean, tough, reliable, and feature packed handgun
As mentioned, HK, and Staccato. produce indestructible firearms. Walther was not included. Because this company may come close. To measuring up, but does not!? So stop crying little fanboy. Because Chris did not bad mouth walther firearm manufacturing company. Another excellent example of my statement is. Beretta firearm manufacturing company. Only receiving an honorable mention.

@@ariesmight6978 Hahaha whatever you say man. I want you to go back and watch the honorable mentions part. Tell me why he didn't include the P-07 or M9. It had nothing to do with reliability. I mean by your logic, any gun he didn't mention isn't worthy. The Colt 1911, the CZ 75, the FN FNX, the Sig P320, the S&W M&P. All notoriously reliable handguns, and ALL handguns he didn't breathe a word about.

Love my Jericho 941 and have 2 ( one is actually Israeli turn in chrome).
The Gen.1,( Made in Germany ) Sig 226 was the first semi-auto, 9mm pistol that I ever shot in 1988 it was a perfect fit for my hands and was already sighted in by the Factory that came with the paper target and signed by the armorer , so it's my favorite and has always worked for me to this Day !
7:45 The 4 inch is absolutely golden, especially with a short sight picture/alignment inherent method.
Thanks as always!
Yep, gotta have a Glock for the end of the world gun. For me, it's the basic gen 3 model 19. The most popular caliber, I have a bunch of mags, and you can use mags from several different Glock models. The mags are anywhere you go. Glock parts are easy to find and just as easy to install, not that you'd need them. I bought mine in 2009, I've put thousands of rounds through it and never had a malfunction. That's probably the most important thing in a shtf firearm. It has to work every time.
Yeah, such good odds of finding spare parts, low odds of breaking in the first place.
I could have written that comment except for I got mine in 1988
@mikect500 Nice! I have several Glocks. The oldest one has only 2 letters and three numbers in the serial number. It's in one of the Tupperware boxes. It looks its age, too. But, looks don't matter. It shoots as good as my gen 5 model 19.
Some of the round counts on rental 19's at shooting ranges are just absurd. You'll be dead and gone in SHTF long before your Glock quits on you.
@SuicideVan Absolutely right. I've only handled one Glock that would have a malfunction about every third round. It belonged to a coworker. He inherited it from his dad. It was an early model 19. His dad was into competition shooting, and he had put every hotrod part and spring in it for competition. The major problem was light primer strikes.
My coworker wanted a properly functioning gun. He paid for the parts, and I replaced everything in the slide with oem Glock parts. The only part I left alone was the 3.5 lb connector his dad had put in. Afterward, that 19 functioned like new again.

Excellent point!!! Thank you for raising this…I am not a woman, but my hands are small nonetheless…and I’m not a fan of recoil…I would LOVE to see Mrs.’s Outlaw’s list!! 😃👍🫡
P365 macro likely.
If the kid from autums Armory can shoot full size pistols, so can you.
Bet she goes with the P365 Legion at number one.
My missus is about the same size, and would love to hear her top 5
Love that you picked the S&W 686 6” for the revolver slot. I bought mine about six years for two reasons: 1. Because they are WAY better, more popular, and more common than other “Big Nasties”, 2. For the apocalypse. I mean I’d probably grab a couple guns between the wife and I, but that 686 is the only one with a guaranteed ticket 😂. You also forgot to mention that it can fire 38 Special, which doubles your chance of finding more ammo, especially since both 357 and 38 Spc are two of the most common calibers in the US, especially for revolvers.
This is a nice selection of EOTW pistol options. Very informative too! Thanks for sharing 👍🏽👍🏽
I agree with your thoughts. The gun I pick for the coming sh!storm should be a very common make in the most common caliber. Parts and ammunition availability is paramount
It’s not for everyone but my Ride or die is my Jericho 941!! And more recently as backup the Masada slim. I really like Most IWI stuff.my P09 is a banger also.
Thanks for the compliment on the Texas Rangers!! Me and Tony Pignato put that deal together for active and retired Rangers. Staccato still takes care of the Rangers today.
My list would probably be CZ 75, Sig P226, S&W M&P M2, Beretta 92 (specifically the M9A1 variant), Glock 17/19. All of these are super wide spread, you could scavange parts from less fortunate survivors or law-enforcement/military, 9mm is the most common caliber, stores (before they are totally ransacked) would have parts, magazines and ammo for them. The Glock 17 or 19 are the most common handguns worldwide as far as I know, so you'd have the best chance of finding spare parts.
Literally love when the Outlaw drops a new video on us and im able to watch it without having to wait 😊
Smith & Wesson Shield plus was my first gun and still my fav ccw gun.
I love those guns, but I think conceal-ability is a critical component for EOTW situations, especially if you live in a more urban/suburban environment. Open carrying a fine handgun on your hip would paint a pretty big target on your back in a world where resources are short and people are scared.
Here’s my list for everyone to shit on:
1. Glock 19/48
2. HK P30SK.
3. CZ P01/P07
4. SW M&P 2.0 subcompact
5. Sig P365X Macro
Nothing fancy because for all the money you’d spend on a Staccato most people would be better off buying ammo and taking a few classes.
I would buy TWO identical pistols, and Ten-twenty magazines.
Spare parts:
Springs, extractors, firing pins, etc.
I understand the reasoning behind the staccato but it is the only one I would leave off. There is no arguing any of the other choices on your list. Bravo sir!
Low budget options,
1. Taurus g3c 9mm
2. ATI 1911 45acp
3. Eaa windicator.357

@@theshapeexistsyes sir, 590a1 for me
Beretta m9, sig 320, Glock 19, m&p 2.0, sig 226. All very popular and used in military and law enforcement world wide.
I have most of these. Glock 17 easy pick. Simple to repair, easy to find parts, reliable and accurate. The rest are great but, parts are hard to find. Most you need to go to school to fix. Just to complex for the end of the world.
I think the 19 is a little better of a choice as it is the most popular size and can still fit 17 or larger mags where with the 17 you need full sized magazines.
@@SuicideVanI usually run a g17 mag in my 19 I have no idea why I just like the way it looks and 2 extra rounds is cool
@@F30__Zay I personally have a 47 for home defense and a 43 for carry, if I had to have only one I'd probably go with 19 and use the big mags in the bedside table and flush out and about.
@@SuicideVannah that take the same parts and the bigger grip is better especially end of the world situation the shorter grip is just for better concealment no one needs to conceal or worry about printing at that point
@@Nollideel but you can't fit any Glock 19 mags you come across. You didn't think about that did you? There are probably 10x the Glock 19 mags in existence as they are 17 mags. Even the LAPD and CHP standard issue the 19 and many shooters find the ergonomics of the 19 to be better and the shorter sight radius faster to aquire. Don't care if they call it "compact" it is not a compact pistol.
I rarely agree with most of the choices on lists like these, but this is literally the exact 5 handguns I would pick (though maybe not in the same order).
I think most people would hunker down where they are and use their arsenal & food storage without migrating if possible. So be prepared and use all the firearms you want/got for the specific situation.
I'd have to put my Beretta 92x centurion-G on the list. Never had a malfunction, it's not ammo picky, excellent trigger, accurate, plenty of magazines out there that won't break the bank.
No, in my humble opinion, I Revolver would be the ideal end of the world weapon handgun wives because the magazine is always with the gun. You never have to look for a magazine. You never have to look for more magazines. It’s already there just like a tubular magazine on a lever action rifle it’s always theremay be slower reloading, but you’ll never lose it in the end of the world situation. You may not have access to extra magazines. They may not be available so with revolver you’re always ready for action. Just my opinion and thanks for your review.
A revolver is not half as reliable as you think.
Who loses or breaks mags? Buy the OEM and you will get decades of use out of them. Keep them clean too.
@@thefrogking481 I had a new Browning Hi-Power jam on me twice. Traded it in on a revolver & never looked back. That was 30 years ago. Never a failure!
You make a good point.
@terryballard4674 I still have my HiPower. Never had any feeding issues. I guess someone already broke it in. My new one, yes. After break in, flawless. Properly lubed and it will always run. Just how 1911's are.
1) fnx 45t
2) m&p 2.0 9mm
3) cz sp01
4) h&k mk23
5) glock 17
Definitely an extremely helpful video.
NEWSFLASH: HK USP EXPERT sells for around $1,500 - $1,600. That's TWO G34s kitted out. And then there's the cost of the mags. HK mags are not inexpensive, again about 2X the Glock mags. Two is one after all. :)
Just got my usp 9mm expert for $1,249 new. You have to shop around…
What does kitted out mean to you? Putting a dot and a light on the gun and you are at that price unless you are going budget all the way around. Two dots and youre eating up half of that
Have you ever seen those people with over 50 guns complain about the price of HK or some other pricey brand? I always found that strange.
P2000 is a more modern version of the USP with better controls. The P30 is the latest iteration of the USP but I believe the p2000 is the best one as it is shorter and easier to conceal. You can also have it cut for an RMR and upgraded by LTT.

My personal favorite is the M&P 2.0 with improved trigger. But right now I went with the Echelon instead.
Im a huge investor and a factory trained armorer for the hk usp series. I carry a usp compact 9mm daily but dont think id recommend it for the end of the world. Its very difficult to repair and make parts for. Id put most HK products in that category. If they are running, they are durable and run well, if they break, they are done without support.
The p226 is almost the same thing, the small parts interchange with most P-200 series pistols and they have sold a bunch.
Wheel guns, especially colts are too complicated and require hardened parts internally. Colts destroy themselves due to the hand and bolt issue that is caused by the rotation. I like the idea of a wheelgun but not sure about durability and repair.
Stacatto is not great, you have to keep it damn clean. My XC has issues when it gets dirty. Id go with a looser tolerance pistol.
I understand its your opinion.
Id go with a beretta, glock and the 320. They are all plentiful, I carry a glock when im going on the water. I carry a 20 because it can handle gators, my local leo department carries a 21 so it swaps parts. For a wheel gun, model 10 smith wesson, 629, 69 etc. All have good uses. Personally im keeping the B&T Station six (45) my wife bought me for my birthday close. It has great potential because most of all it keeps people from knowing you are around.
Last of the mohicans taught us to never fire twice because nobody gets a location from a single shot. Everyone finds you in 2 shots.
"If you run out of ammo, you could use it as a melee device!" LMAO
Check that! Smiles departed when I heard you pick a "Crock" as the best choice. 😂😂😂😂
Best video to wake up to in the morning. Amazing list and I love the logic behind each one. Here is my personal list in no particular order with pistols that I have experience with (there are better ones out there based on history/legacy like the HK USP but I never shot one or even held one):
- Glock 45
- Beretta 92 series
- Sig P226
- a 1911
- Smith and Wesson Model 686/ Ruger GP100 depending on your preference. I like both so I’m cheating by putting both.

You made my day. I decided to buy a end of the world gun two years ago; I'm really a Beretta fan, a 1911 fan and a wheel gun fan but: after I thought about reliability, weight, availability, durability and adaptability for a while, I bought a Glock 41.

Agree... and I like the G45 better than the G19. But 15 round Glock mags are probably more abundant than 17 rounders.

Huge fan of H.O. content. One of my most trusted tubers. I have to call this one a "miss" though. Felt way more like an excuse to put 5 more pistols in a video, for which I would say, just release an occasional "spotlight" video of guns that are on your mind. This did not feel like it had nearly enough thought for "End of the World" choices. Staccato, USP, 34? An end of the world choice implies that your choosing a sidearm for which you will potentially never see products or support for, ever again. 686, M1911, P226, Beretta 92, Glock 19 Gen3 or older. Reliability, durability, and availability of parts and magazines. I understand the reality is that it doesn't much matter what pistol you choose if the world is ending. Its unlikely to ever clear your holster as it is only a secondary firearm, but if we are theory crafting, as the title implies, I'd have found the video far more interesting If you had actually dove into it.
In my opinion, the G23 is the best handgun in the world! You can shoot 4 caliber’s through this gun by swapping out barrels/mags. I currently shoot 9mm through mine with a lone wolf barrel. 9mm are cheaper, but if I get.40 cal at a good price, I change barrels/mags and I’m good to go.
And remember to get an AR as well, cause you’re not picking a pistol over a rifle if SHTF

I know you got the USP but bro. End of the world? No question you gotta go with the MK23
When I'm looking into a new pistol purchase I watch your videos for your review of that model before purchase. Great content 👌 thanks for all the videos and great reviews!
"130 yards" I'm at the range shooting at 15yards and still struggling to hit the center...... lol damn
🤣🤣🤣 same here but I'm practicing
I’m good to about 50-70 yards just depends on the pistol. My CZ p09 I’m 70 yards my 19 43x and sigs I’m still getting 30-50 yards. Idk that low bore axis on that cz is really a charm in accuracy just took me awhile to feel her out
Practice, practice, practice. Maybe consider taking some classes too.
Same 😢
Grip is the most important thing when it comes to pistol marksmanship. Master a tight, vice-like grip that allows you to ratchet down the gun. Learn the trigger wall in your gun, learn to break the wall back to the rear without disrupting your sights. Focus on developing grip, relaxed shoulders, and your pistol marksmanship will change forever.
Here’s my 6 favorite pistols:
1. Glock 45, Acro P2, Ramjet Afterburner
2. HK P30 LTT LEM
3. Sig P226 Legion DAO
4. Stacatto CS, Holosun EPS
5. Kahr CM9
6. Ruger LCRx .327

Chris, you have repeatedly extolled the H&K USP Expert, and it doubtless is a superb autoloader. However, you never even mention the H&K USP Tactical, chambered in .45 ACP. That, I believe, is myopic and biased. The original .45 USP Tactical has every advantage and design innovation of the Expert - and there are many - but its Mark 23 roots are even deeper than the remainder of the USPs, which indicate unequalled quality, deign engineering, reliability, durability and accuracy. Moreover, for any “End of the World” scenario, I’d prefer a handgun that can fire unlimited quantities of all .45 ACP rounds (including .45 Super). You’re a virtually peerless marksman, but for most of us the power of a 230 grain .45 ACP load, fired from a 5.1 inch polygonal hammer forged barrel, may compensate for your excellence with a diminutive 9x19mm.
A geek says what
The USP 45 can't fire unlimited quantities of 45 Super. The manual to my USP 45 states that 45 +p can be fired but will wear the pistol faster, and firing 45 super will void the warranty. Only the Mark 23 is rated for 45 Super.
I got the staccato P myself as an SHTF situation gun, it’s extremely reliable and extremely accurate
Awesome!
