Though it’s a little heavier but of all my handguns, the Sig Sauer P226 Legion is the one I’d want if my life depended on it. Most reliable weapon I own and the one I’m the most accurate with.
Great choice, can’t go wrong with a DA/SA hammer fired choice. I have the same gun, love it. My CZ P01 and LTT PX4 Carry would be great as well. Even my CZ P07 would do the job.
One thing that should be mentioned is grip angle. I can go from a s&w to a 1911 or 2011 or p320 and my draw to shoot is relatively close. I cant do that with a glock. Since im used to the grip angle that I use, I always have to correct and point the glock lower. Can't trust a gun if my natural point of aim doesn't work with it.
Lol exactly. And everyone forgets to mention the lower boar axis because of the grip plus it naturally locks your wrist but who cares about usability who needs it. It's all about oooweee this trigger is buttereee lol@@jontodt6959
@maybe5883 Absolutely valid, not what I'm talking about haha. I was talking about guns with coworkers, and when I brought up I owned ONE single glock, he basically called me the F slur lol. And when I had been shopping for that particular glock model to fill a gap in my collection, one of the gun shop employees was immediately snarky, even though i have no zealous loyalty to glock. Those are the people I'm talking about. I can take the memes and ridicule, but when it's a bit overboard, it usually comes from a dumb place of just wanting to be different from the norm for the sake of being different. Glocks haven't been innovative for decades, their triggers aren't the best, their reliability is great but most competitors have caught up to the point the price isn't as justified as it used to be. All valid criticisms
CZ P01 CGW Pro Package or P07, Beretta LTT PX4 Storm Carry, M&P Shield plus, Sig P226 Legion - let’s be real, there are many really good guns available in modern times. If I had to pick one it would be the CZ P01 Cajunized.
Theres a reason glock has so many aftermarket parts. They NEED em. Theyre only built to SAMMI specs & they hate full power ammos. ESPECIALLY the 40+ cals.
I'm going with the Shadow Systems MR920 Elite with a Herrington arms comp on it, as well as a CR920XP 🔥 I have over 4,000 rounds through my MR920 Elite with 0 issues and a little over 600 rounds on my CR920XP with only one failure to eject during the break in period, love them both.
I'm new to guns in general. But in terms of ergos I'm with you on the MR920 Elite. I held one. The included magwell shoved my hand up and made my strong hand grip really secure. Probably best frame over all so far in my limited experience. Only reason I did not get even a base Foundation as my first gun is I found a new M&P 2.0 9 for 420 bucks. But I probably will get am MR920 elite next.
I have a DR920P don’t buy a shadow man, tons of issues. My trigger retention pin is loose and walks itself out and I have like 500 rounds through it. Just buy a Glock and upgrade the things you want to
Gentlemen, thank you for your service and for the Great quality Video! I just picked up the Glock 19 gen5 mos. I’m going to qualify with it, and it will be my service pistol. I start the OPOTA in March. -Nate Ohio ✝️☝️💪🇺🇸 God, Family, Country
I love how UA-camrs complain about pistol safeties, and yet preach about the importance of safeties on rifles... Safeties on pistols are not an issue. Your training is the issue. Way less recoil on the 2011 than the Glock, but the Glock is easier to use? Makes zero sense lol
Safties on pistols aren't needed, because a properly fitting holster is the safety. If rifles had a holster covering the trigger, then we wouldn't need safties.
The guns I bet my life on are basically all the ones that have proven themselves in military/police service. The government already did all the legwork lol.
I love videos like this when I find a Glock fan boy going on about his Glock. Fine, so be it-that’s your choice. As for me, I had a Glock 26…I went to chamber a round one day and the slide came off. I sent it back to Glock, who fixed it and acknowledged mfg defect. That was it for me-I sold every Glock I had and never looked back. Some fan boys start foaming at the mouth when they read this, and accuse me of all sorts of things. The best retort to my story was something along the lines of all brands can fail. I absolutely can see that point, but for me the HK, FN and older Sig‘s (229, 226) have NEVER failed. Peace out.
I wonder why no one has made a 30 super carry conversion for the 365 or the 43x yet. Sound like it would be useful for competition and sub-compact carry.
There’s no need to change anything with either. Got my G19 an ACRO and an X300. All stock internals, only thing I did other than that was get a dovetail milled in front of the optic and some cowitness irons.
If I can’t run a gun in its stock configuration I’m not interested. Glocks aren’t my cup of tea but a lot of folks like them. To each his own, but it’s a great video on why I don’t own a Glock anymore.
the problem i see with those that deter people from purchasing them is the responsibility of actually cleaning your gun fairly frequently which glock praisers don’t want/like but imo a 1911/2011 is one of if not the best handgun if it’s well taken care of and my personal dream gun is a staccato
An OEM g17 magazine in a G19 is more reliable than adding a +2 and you basically have the same capability as a G45, with the ability to run a 15 rd mag with a little less printing p365: : "we 've never seen too many reliability issues.." Then you say: if your limited to two handgun reliability is going to be an issue... So in your opinion which is more reliable the G43x or that P365?
I appreciate your content. And value your opinion and experience. I do have a few questions as firearm enthusiasts myself. But no professional like you fellas. While I do love my CZ Shadow and Shadow 2 Compact. I don’t see me carrying them do to liability reasons. I have been advised by some that my EDC should be kept in its stock configuration. In the event of a self defense incident as the firearm will be confiscated until the investigation is over. The firearm will be inspected for modifications to build a case of ill intent to use against me. The less modified the better. Type of weapon, trigger weight, common carry type (non race gun) style. Weapon light, red dot and night sights usually over looked. But anything to make the gun run faster or look as if you were looking to in a situation that could’ve been avoided. What’s your take on all this as I’ve never been in a situation that I needed to pull my weapon. Hope I never do. Do you think this is all BS or not. I’m 51 and live a very 2a state and exercise my right as well as my wife. We own a variety of ccw’s. I carry a three sixty five with a dot. Everyday. But would love to modify without the fear of being held up in court in the event ever arrises over modifications in a self defense situation.
If you make a modification you must be able to articulate that it improves any of these control,safety, accuracy. I changed the trigger in one guns. After talking with several lawyers. I also talked to US law shield they are very helpful. Both my local pd allow custom triggers on their officers guns. So I have that as well.
@ I appreciate you responding to my question. My fist EDC was a p229 in 357sig. Then on to a Glock 19. Once I saw the interview with Mr. Cohen from sig explaining the branding of the three sixty five, and yet people still call it a three six five. That the gun was developed for a person to carry three hundred sixty five days comfortably. Hence the P three sixty five was born. As named specifically. I decided to try smaller options. I did buy the first round of the release. With striker drags. Got rid of that and ended up with another quite a few years later. A few of them lol. I have zev triggers in glocks and others. Some mods on other firearms. Just nothing on my carry. I do agree speed and accuracy reduces casualties and negligence. I will dig a bit further into this. Thanks again. Merry Christmas. Long live the P THREE SIXTY FIVE.
I have never tried those Fowler triggers. Are they pretty nice. I have tried every other mainstream glock trigger. GPT timney Johnny Glock overwatch. The only one is apex I haven’t tried.
He said there are not too many fundamentally different things on this gun than a stock Glock, then proceeds to name basically everything about the gun lol great video though :)
I would choose from the following: SIG 226/229 variant, Beretta 92 and/or PX4 variant - because these have been tested and proven to fire thousands of rounds without failures. I would also choose a well made 1911 - but specifying which ones and why gets off into the weeds a bit.
All those issues have been fixed. Just look at any of the testing on the p320. Dropped from 20 ft multiple times and no issues. Move on from it. Not sure why you guys still holding on to something that has been fixed.
Glock gave every manufacturer the blueprint for striker fired pistols..hmmm didn’t smith & Wesson get sued for this…in a nutshell whatever you choose it works the maker doesn’t matter
Glock Perfection: Overpriced Need a new trigger Poor ergonomics Pay for new grips Pay for a compensator Pay for new sights But other than that it’s great. A highpoint will go bang every time you pull the trigger also.
So much bad info in this video about Glock 😂 So much. Glocks are not modular. Swapping the barrel for threaded barrel doesn't mean the gun is "modular" "My favorite talking point is that these guns are so reliable and great... Yet I went to the aftermarket and changed everything 😂
@@MrMrmoore2013 lol no it doesn't. The numerous failures I've experienced with Glocks as well as a bunch of other people. And once again, your argument collapsed on itself. If it's already perfect, why upgrade? Lol Glocks are crap
I'm so sick of the Glock being given so much credit! They innovated with the P80 and haven't been innovative since. Glocks aren't that great. There are far better pistols out there.
They’re the gold standard. Literally every poly striker fire that comes out is set to dethrone the 19, and yet none of them do. Track record, reliability, affordability, maintenance, there isn’t another that can sniff close. I’m saying this having owned virtually every major brand, when it comes down to what needs to actually be considered (reliability functionality), they just do it.
@GentlemanEDC Obviously you're a Glock fanboy. My Echelon Comp blows away a G19. Like I've said before, Glock hasn't innovated since the original P90 release.
@ I’ve had CZ, Springfield, HK, sig, Walther, S&W, Glock, FN, etc. your echelon was compared to what when it came out? A Glock 19. You can hate it all you like, it is THE standard of which all the latest and greatest is compared to and has yet to dethrone. It simply checks all the boxes and has for decades, no need to reinvent the wheel. Are comps cool? Sure. Optic ready? Cool. Fancy slide cuts/serrations? Great. Absolutely necessary? Not even close. There is a reason they’re the most issued sidearm out there. The gun community has turned into consumerism and having the cool and relevant vs reliable and purpose driven. Hence why I have gone back to ground zero, and run Glock. Fanboy? Sure, I can live with that label.
@@GentlemanEDC don’t listen to him. He’s probably an Sig Simp and only hates Glock to make him feel better. These people make all this fuss about innovation and blah blah blah, but forget the true function of a reliable gun, to save your life. You can trust your life to a Glock 19.
Though it’s a little heavier but of all my handguns, the Sig Sauer P226 Legion is the one I’d want if my life depended on it. Most reliable weapon I own and the one I’m the most accurate with.

A lot of people shit on Glocks, but yet when SHFT hits everyone said they would grab there Glocks
Exactly. If you just want a gun to show off or enjoy shooting get whatever. But as a professional life saving tool, Glock is the way.
It's always okay to critique any gun. Habitual glock haters who dismiss them on principle are just hipsters and nothing more
Glocks are great guns, I just don’t enjoy shooting them. No hate for them, just love for other makes and models.
