Yes, there are lot of people trying to tell you what to carry. You do you, be yourself. People come in all shapes and sizes, so right for me vs you? Could be very different. If it is a weapon you are good with and you like, roll on. I make a threat assessment of where I am going and what the environment is there. That drives what I carry. At the ranch, I have a G19 on the hip every morning for my daily tasks. I live 60 miles from the border in Texas. (high threat due to remoteness and illegals constantly trafficking the area and the incidents we have had in my county coupled with how few sheriff's deputies we have. Response times are roughly an hour and a half.) Going to town for feed, groceries, church etc. I will carry j-frame Smith or Ruger SP 101 and a couple of speed strips of ammo. I have an AR in the steel lock box under the back seat of the truck and mags and it goes everywhere I go. If I have to go to the big city, I am carrying the G19. Assess the threat. Do it often. Carry all the time.
I often carry my Shield Plus 9mm (15 rounds) in a Vedder Pocket Locker holster (along with 2 additional 13-round mags and a Chiappa Rhino 6-shot .357 at 3 o'clock. Be safe in Texas, my friend.
A very good example of the tool for the task as well as situational awareness.
I do exactly the same thing. I have a full sized AR15 with loaded mags in a steel lockbox under the back seat of my truck.
But on my body, I am likely to carry a J frame in .22 Magnum or .32 H&R Magnum. Other times I’m carrying a SiG 365. Other times I am open carrying a Colt SAA in .45 Colt. I’m carrying the Colt more and more because I just like it.
Love the colt, hav the j frame .22 mag myself.
@@thealsatian4232 And that is another consideration in carry - you just like a certain gun. That's why my Mode10 and Model 64 still get carried.
Those damned rapscallions
I'm a simple man. One gun, one holster. J frame, on me in the same spot every day
Right on brother ,
As I have owned,reloaded,shot, tested many, many firearms in 45 years is still believe for the average person a good solid revolver is a wonderful option. in the pray and spray generations we have many don't have good training. I own pistols and revolvers and equally proficient with them. most people not. they say revolvers don't have enough rounds. my advice is for them to slow down , make proficient shots, practice, practice, practice and quit the sloppy pray and spray methods before they get shot by a marksman. every shot intentional. master that and be a good Shot with either revolvers or pistols. Papa wishing you well. 😊
A snub nose has its place for sure. At home thats what i carry. I dont want to answer the door with an exposed firearm. The ability to pocket carry is unmatched. And its unobtrusive i can relax while carrying it. The double action revolver is a safe but ready to go platform. A striker fired autoloader needs to have a good or even perfect holster to achieve that safely. And like Greg said it comes down to your responsibility and the time and place that should determine what you carry.
I mostly carry my Shield Plus 9mm in a Vedder Pocket Locker holster. Safe and secure. No worries at all.
@@tylermorrison7051 Good solid holster.
@@tylermorrison7051 I will check them out. I recently got a P10S that i need a pocket holster for. Another issue i encountered so far is the grip of the revolver sort of meets my hand when drawing it from pockets. The autos grip will hide away further down. I have to dig a little harder to get ahold on it.
You speak volumes of wisdom. Common sense is a rare commodity these days. Keep up the good work
Thanks Ralph.
Interesting comments you made here. I watched a video interview a few days ago from a retired Federal agent who now does private training and he was discussing the more common myths of carry pistols. He had some surprising data that really caught me off guard. He explained that his choice of carry now especially when travelling was a 22mag revolver. He talked about the autopsy reports and several other data points showing the 22 caliber had a higher kill percentage than other calibers. While it didn't have the power it penetrated just enough and they found people fired more rounds on target so more hits were scored. It was interesting interview how the numbers were viewed differently.
Feel free to post a link if youtube will allow it. I'm curious to see this interview.
Was that the interview with Daryl Bolke? Mentioned that 22WMR out of a snub revolver is close to 22lr out of a rifle?
My 22LCR is a greatbpistol. I wish Ruger had made the 22WMR version as an 8 shot, also.
I guess I need to get that Taurus 942MUL, instead.
Ruger Security 6 ? You’re looking at it upside down. It’s a Ruger Security 9 Compact !
😂You win a prize for catching that! Despite numerous edits before publishing it, I didn't see that until after it was published. It was a Freudian slip conflating the name with the Ruger revolver Security Six. But, you'll be seeing that gun again.
I had taken a break from revolver carrying the last month, and carried a CZ P-01. That changed yesterday, when I bought the newly released Heritage Roscoe. The Roscoe is a 2” steel .38 special +P five shot revolver. I’ve owned several S&W Model 36 revolvers, and the Roscoe’s fit and finish are equal to any of the 36’s. It shoots great, but I’m also carrying a 642. 👍👍👍👍
I got a notice they were back in from Kentucky gun company and they were gone before I could order.
I understand that the Roscoe is a rebranded Taurus 85. I'm fine with that, and very interested in the 3-inch version. God bless Greg. -Rob
@@LionquestFitness I bought mine from Palmetto, and paid $289 plus tax.
Ultimately it’s not likely you’ll need more than 2 or 3 rounds to defend yourself from a normal robber. But in this day and age with mobs attacking and depending on your skill/training you may need more rounds. MANY more rounds. It’s an individual choice YOU have to make. I think everyone should go with an automatic pistol as a default. And that’s as a BIG revolver fan. But in the end YOU have to make the determination based on the context of YOUR most likely self defense situation. My _opinion_ is and _should_ count as mostly or entirely _irrelevant._ God be with you no matter what what you choose.
Your opinion counts. Context is king. Where you live and the particular crimes that could occur in that area have a lot to do with what you carry. I live in a low crime, suburban/rural interface. I base my carry on what things I could actually face and my own capabilities as I age. As things change, I'll change my philosophy of carry. I recommend anyone constantly evaluate what they are doing and why. Any firearm provides a false sense of security if it languishes in a drawer and it is never trained with or carried.
Well said and great advice. I've been a six gun lover( S& W) four over fourth years but living fifteen miles from Newark I've become use to my Glock 23 and 27 . One on one crime is a thing of the past. Training , especially with your hands is important. Thanks .
@@kenbrown1847Agree with your comment Sir. 💯
Excellent video and great points. What ever firearm you carry, train with it regularly. Keep them coming.
The voice of common sense...
👍👍 some sound advice Greg. For myself I learned a long time ago if my gun is to big and heavy I’m gonna leave it at home half the time. I carry every day now and I’ll either have my S&W j frame, my charter arms undercover or if I’m carrying a semi it will be my original s&w shield or my s&w shield ez 9. Both my shields hold 9 rounds and I always carry an extra mag.
I'm looking at trying a Charter Arms again in the near future.
Love the way tjis guy teaches and thinks
Great video, Greg! I'm pretty much down to exclusively carrying revolvers now. Some very good shooting in this installment!
Thanks Marc!
Marc I'm approaching that point also due to arthritis in my off shooting hand, making it painful to manipulate semiauto slides now. I may have to consider that S&W Sheild EZ 9mm and see how that goes. Otherwise, I'll be moving to revolvers exclusively soon I'm afraid. God bless, Rob
Revolver with the hammer you can reach up and engage for single action is a fine option, @@la_old_salt2241
Greg, I hope your viewers paid attention to what you said regarding your “three criteria” for carrying a firearm. I thought you clearly and plainly summarized the reasons and requirements. And yeah, I have seen first hand for many years people,carrying something they’re not comfortable with because someone told them it was the “minimum” requirement or that’s what was issued without regard to the fact that “one gun doesn’t necessarily fit every shooter.” If someone is carrying something like a J-frame/LCR in .22LR/Mag or an M&P 22 Compact or Ruger LCP II in .22 and can rapidly place an cylinder or magazine’s worth into a baseball sized group at 15 feet, I’d say they are sufficiently skilled to defend themselves from most threats.
I'll say it again and I'm only repeating what many in the know all across the firearms community would say: Carry a firearm on a daily basis, train and practice with that firearm, and be of the mindset to use that firearm if you or another is in deadly peril. Hovering over all is knowing and complying with the legal guidelines and laws in your jurisdiction.
@@LionquestFitness sometimes we all have to hear the same thing from several sources before it registers.
It comes down to the right tool for the job. As a Carpenter says, a hammer is not always the right tool because not every problem is a nail.
Absolutely.
I like revolvers, so that's what I always carry. Now that I've found a semi-auto I like, my Springfield XD-M in 10mm, maybe I'll find a way to carry that. Certainly, there would be times where the extra firepower of the XD-M would be more practical than a 6-shot revolver.
Good point.
That XD-M will cover literally any situation from rural bear threats to two-legged predators in the urban environment.
Thank you very much for this interesting video. Yes making appropriate choices according to our situation, our body, our realistic needs is essential. SO is traininig.
I always listen to what you have to say. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us.
Thanks Edward. I try to present common sense information and not be pedantic about what to do or not to do.

Thank you my friend. God blesses
Great video Greg i am with the Security team at my Church also I carry my Taurus G3c... Also i sent you an email letting you know how my Rossi RP 63 did... had no problems at all...God bless you and your Family
Glad to hear about the Rossi.
Greg, I have mostly retired my M642, primarily because of the low capacity. I do shoot it well and keep it in my nightstand. This is a timely video as I now carry in church. A local creep was breaking into cars during services recently. Nowadays, I find myself carrying either my Shield 2.0 Performance Center 4" or my Glock 48 with the Shield Arms magazine conversion and the Ghost Trigger 3.5 lbs connector. A vast improvement over that seemingly 10+ lbs factory trigger.
That is an excellent evaluation of situation and adapting to current needs.
Once again excellent info Greg. Yesterday I completed my annual LEOSA certification w/my M&P 2.0 9MM Compact, good to go for another year. Best part was breakfast after at the local American Legion telling lies about how tough we all used to be. Take care . . .
I enjoy going to our local FOP meetings at a seafood restaurant. Most of our lodge are retired officers.
Have a safe weekend buddy, getting hot here in NE Louisiana
So far we've escaped the humidity, but it has been hot. After five years and bouts of rust, I',m getting some apples on the trees I planted during Covid.
Always well trained and alert is the key to win over the bad guys. Excellent video!
Excellent points, Greg!
Recently watched the American HandGunner podcast on snubbies, small/medium revolvers also make sense when traveling thru airports. Their legal virtually anywhere due mag restrictions and quieter to reload in the restroom. No loud racking noises in the stall.
They made a lot of good points.
Was watching a video not too long ago from a fairly large youtuber. He said revolvers were a bad choice for a carry gun. He mentioned limited capacity, and he even said they fail more often than a semi-auto. Thankfully, many people disagreed with him in the comments section. Luckily for me, a 5 shot revolver is usually going to be adequate. Something I always try to practice is situational awareness. Always looking around to see potential sources of trouble and best escape paths. That way, hopefully I never need to use my firearm in self-defense and if I do, the odds are in my favor.
You sound like you have your bases covered. As for the gentleman, whoever he was, who made those comments, he's a good example of what I'm talking about in my video. I'm not going to denigrate anyone else's carry. You carry what you shoot well with and what you will carry on a regular basis. Regular carry and training is part of an overall preparedness mentality. It is not just the hardware.
Your logic is sound. Your views just sound like common sense (which is less and less common). I carry a Sig semi auto for church and either my Charter Arms Pitbull or a 2 inch S & W model 10 at other times. Right tool for the situation/ job at hand. Thank you for your videos.
Thanks Big Al and have a blessed and safe Sunday!
Thank you for another fine video.
Because of the general lawlessness that exist on the streets of Minneapolis I have gone to 45acp for my edc
I can't argue with that. I was offered a job in Minneapolis ten years or so back. I was strongly considering it, but it fell through. Thankfully it did.
Very nice, to participate in a group of church security, in this crazy days we are living. Thanks
Really good video Greg.
Thanks.
Excellent advice & great shooting Greg...Many years ago before I retired, my agency had the "failure drill" as part of our qualification course. They probably still do. Our issue then was a S&W model 19 (2.5 bbl.)... On range days, I still practice it.
I replied back, but looks like UA-cam blocked my comment because of mentioning a machete attack that happened in a Minnesota Mall around 2017. There was some religious fervor involved and the guy was wearing the security guard uniform from where he worked. An off duty police officer and firearms instructor stopped the attack with nine rounds to center body mass, but retreated as he did it and almost stumbled, hence the practicality of the failure drill. Let's see if this passes muster.
Thanks for another great video, Greg 👍👍
The Agency I retired from issued Glock semi autos as their primary sidearm & S&W Model 642's as backups carried in an issued ankle holster & I still use that arrangement because I find it flexible.....
I travel by auto a LOT & having the 642 in an ankle holster is much faster to draw while seated behind the steering wheel because my primary may be blocked by the seat belt.
& if I need to go into anywhere that deep concealment is needed, I can leave my primary locked in the gun safe in my vehicle & pocket carry the 642...
To me it's not a choice between semi auto or revolver...I routinely carry both at the same time.
& You definitely nailed the 3 requirements... especially the last one... having the best firearm made & intensive practice are both useless without the mental/emotional commitment to do whatever it takes to survive an attack.
God bless, Brother
Thanks Jeff. I appreciate you sharing your experience.
Greg, as you say... from your own personal experience... that in my * humble opinion * is the secret.
From, Your own individual experances you make your choices. We are all different.
Now, to the serious 😊 stuff, concerning bandanas, sunglasses and dress coordination, what would your lovely wife suggest 😊
Careful, Les. We mustn't risk upsetting the great and powerful Grambo with too much bandana banter. 😅
@tylermorrison7051 mate we gotta think ahead... Remember... the Grambo Academy for Refined Gentlemen maybe a few years a way 🤔
@@lesgillard985On a serious note, I could see Greg traveling a bit to do seminars and training, or at the very least, we all come out there to train.
Well, I kind of went sloppy Joe for this one. 🙄
@tylermorrison7051 😉 so long a Greg starts asking his wife ( do what she suggests, with Greg's ideas....) for suggestions.... it will be OK 👍
At the moment, my handgun choices are very limited. A 15 round Shield Plus 9mm, a 6-shot .357 Chiappa Rhino, and the impractical but stunning, 8-shot .357 627 Performance Center (2.6 inch barrel) named Jerry II. Sadly, my used Rhino has 3 bad chambers that may likely be a timing issue. A local aged-genius gunsmith has the gun, but hasn't gotten around to it yet. I'll probably end up sending it to Chiappa and paying them to fix it. The three chambers that work demostrated that the Rhino is a great, mild shooter. In the future, I'll likely get a Lobo enhanced pancake holster for that one and maybe some nicer grips, if any can be found.. As for my Shield Plus, it resides in a Vedder Pocket Locker holster or sometines in a 1791 belt slide holster. I'm thinking of having sone non-flashy laser engraving done on the polymer frame and also having the slide cerakoted to remove that annoying "billboard". "Caution.-Capable of firing with magazine removed." I may also possibly add some night sights, but that's as much as i want to spend on a cheaper gun. And finally, on to my 627 PC. I'm just 10 weeks away from receiving my Lobo leather enhanced pancake holster (with smooth leather lining) and hopefully even sooner for my Altamont grey and black G10 NU grips (with the laser-engraved S&W logos) to arrive. I carried the latter daily for a year. I still plan to carry it at least a time or two each week.
The Chiappa is one you don't hear about much anymore. I hate you are having problems with it.
@@LionquestFitness It's a used 2013 model. While dry firing, the trigger hangs up on three chambers. You kind of have squeeze harder for it to work. That said, those loaded chambers won't work at all on the range. Awhile back, Chiappa said they could fix it for 115-150 dollars. I only have 500 in it and the new ones go for 1-1-0-0 to 1-2-0-0 or so. Forgive me for being cryptic. YT doesn't like msrp info being given out. Anyway, if this 90+ year old gunsmith can do some "judicious filing" and fix the revolver for less money, that's great. He has a lot of irons in the fire, and some other customers' jobs have been placed ahead of mine. It's been 3 weeks. I'm giving him one more week before I call Chiappa.
@@tylermorrison7051 Good logic.
Hi Greg,great video. I have never trained in that drill sitting. That's a good idea to do! Situational awareness should always be used. It may just save you from having to deploy your weapon in self defense. Thank you for your hard work and time Sir.
It changes a lot of things when you incorporate movement. Especially how you draw a firearm.
As always, good info!
Thank you
Tks for the video job well done
Great video as always! Bottom line: if you look at the performance of all three pistols, they all did the same thing. Obviously, the revolver would have kept you alive just as well as the autoloaders. Fifteen misses are not superior to five hits. Carry what works for you.
That is very true.
Nice discussion.
Thanks brother, I look forward to your vids, please keep them coming. Yuma, Arizona.
You're welcome.
Did it left handed. 😸
Great video Greg. I like your selection of guns and the purpose for each. I alternate between a LCR 38spl and a Colt Mustang 380 for concealed carry. I use the 380 for pocket carry as needed since it has a flatter profile.
Greg, very concise and well thought out content for this video. The aspect of different purposes along with good practice regimens and consideration of environment and location/setting was great. Like you I carry a snub nose revolver most often, either my S&W 637 pc tuned with extended grip or my Ruger .357 LCR. For very deep concealment my S&W 351 PD 7 shot .22 Mag. Otherwise, for more capacity, the 9mm S&W Shield plus w/ night sights. Or deep concealment 9mm my P938 Legion 9mm also with night sights. Thanks, sir!
Thank you Robert!
This is an outstanding video. Thank you for this. I agree with your thoughts. When i am at church i carry a much ksrger gin. When i am at work i have to go deep concealment.
have not seen or tried the Security series , might have to look at that now
I've been impressed so far.
Great video, as always. Btw, that chair you were using at the beginning is what we have in our house. And now that you've confessed to being a Glock owner, I'll put you on our prayer list...that you'll repent of your Glockism, and from henceforth use revolvers and 1911's only.
🥺
@@LionquestFitness Greg, you do know I was only joking, don't you?
@@matthewrobinson4323 LOL - of course.
@@LionquestFitness whew!
Its simply to hot here in Steamy humid florida for large gun carry (in my opinion). I typically carry either my taurua 856 owb with extra speed strip or my ruger lcp2 in 380 with 7 rounds plus an extra 6 round mag. Now i do mount either my mossberg 590 in 410 or my 12 gauge coach gun on my tractor when working on my farmette. Now when my daughters husband gets out of jail in august i may have to upgrade to my beretta 92 in a chest rig when working on my farm. He has threatened me and has quite a few meth head cronies willing to help him.
Well, I hate you have to deal with that. I get it. I've one daughter I've had to cut off because of decades of poor choices. The ex-son-in-law I was talking about in the video is in prison now. Meth culture is insidious. They all want to be criminal kingpins like in Breaking Bad, they'd sell each other out in a heartbeat, and they never realize how grotesque and self-defeating that lifestyle is.
@@LionquestFitness Amen brother! They dont realize what is does to their children's lives. All I can do is pray for them and hope they dont make the mistake of actually going through with the threats and such. Although to be fair I rally dont think anyone would miss their kind to much if they tried and were buried far off in the deep woods for a 100 years or so. I will protect myself and my family from them. but these guys arent even as organized as those on tv. my daughters husband tried to set fire to the house with all the children inside along with my daughter. cant believe the system is letting him go after this and he was already out on probation which he violated.
Carry Compliance is key, EDC what you are trained and comfortable with. The average self defense confrontation entails 2-3 rounds fired, why put yourself in the feasible circumstance of explaining your justification in concealing 22 rounds of +P+ into a public place.
That is true.
Hi Greg, good shooting with all the pieces! I bet you can outshoot them all with Karlita though.
Karlita is a special little lady. My granddaughter Juliette will get her when I pass this veil.
@@LionquestFitness my favorite among your guns is the 1977 Model 10 but I think it is way too accurate to put it against the other guns in the video.

👍
You can’t carry a factory Glock ‼️
You need to have it customize and accessorize it ‼️‼️
Works fine as is.😄
Greg, do you plan on getting the new Heritage Roscoe? I'd like to see your thoughts on it. Personally I'm interested in purchasing the 3 inch version.
I got an e-mail from Ky Gun Company that the they were in stock, but they sold out before I could get one.
Nice video, and timely. I am helping my granddaughter decide on what to carry when she turns 18 next year (18??? What??? When did THAT happen???)
But you are showing a few years there too...that is a Ruger Security "9" Compact. The Security 6 is a great choice as revolvers go, but a tad heavy like most full sized steel revolvers are. They are so good I have two! Another advantage to the Security 9 is that is the standard magwell used in the Ruger PC9 carbine
What do I carry? A polymer wonder 9, of course! Usually a Taurus G3C or a PSA Dagger with the grip reduced to a G26 length, with a 12 round mag. Because it is lighter and less bulky (ie: flatter) particularly with a spare magazine, compared to a similar sized revolver and speed loaders. But I really try to stay out of places where the extra firepower over a revolver is needed.
But like they say, if I knew I needed a pistol, I either wouldn't go at all, or I would show up with a rifle & shotgun, with a bunch of friends with rifles & shotguns! {!-{>
😂It was a Freudian slip with the Security Nine; conflating it with the Security Six. But, I can relate on children and grandchildren growing up. That is why I try to spend time with my grandchildren as much as possible. As for your choice in carry? I think it is perfectly reasonable and well thought out. I have a G2C that I keep hidden and locked up as a spare. It's a good shooter. As well, I know many people who really like the PSA Dagger.
@@LionquestFitness They have to make it all complicated...I. have done the same. And Ruger's are simple! Some of the designations on other guns are plain obtuse and confusing...like late model Berettas...I miss the simple days of a 92, 92S, 92SB, 92F...GTI? X? XI? {!-{>
@@curtisbarrow7650 LOL - don't make my head spin!
My M&P340 is essentially the same as a 442 but with better sights, almost as good as the 640. It would be nice to load it up with hot magnums for effect. Due to physical constraints, a lower recoil option has been on my mind. How do you feel about 148gr full wadcutters or 158gr LSWC loaded at standard pressure vs 110gr JHP loaded for +P? My random research has been suggesting that anything that can poke a proper hole, especially if it can break a bone, is going to be sufficient for a "get off me" or "break in contact" type of gun. Consistency in form factor and comfort of carry is important to me. So it comes down to appropriate ammunition.
I've considered switching to those rounds for snubs
Western advertising at the end was very cool, maybe put one at the end of all your videos but put random all different kinds but stay in the 1800s-1920s Western time period please
I can do that.
@LionquestFitness it might help get more views to the end, either way it sounds like fun and worth a try so thanks
@LionquestFitness Hi Greg, on your Glock I assume you are carrying with a round in chamber. Being a revolver guy like you, I have concerns about accidental discharges when carrying hot on a glock 43 i have. Do you have similiar concerns and are you using a leather holster for the glock? Thanks.
That was one of the original Fobus holsters I bought over 20 years ago and used it at the time for a duty holster. It is very secure. I do carry with a round in the chamber and I'm very careful of keeping my finger away from the trigger and how I holster and draw the gun.
Nice topic! But you said a Ruger security 6 compact? I think it's a Ruger Security-9 Pro Compact 9mm, 4" Barrel? or is there a 6? I can't find it if there is...
Freudian slip on my part. Security Nine Compact.
I think one thing these proponents of "15 rounds (or more) in the gun, FS fighting pistol, and 2 spare mags" forget is, most of us aren't military or LEO. We carry to help us get out of a situation, not go towards an issue.
Today, I was in a NP CITY, in my alread NP state, at a festival that mqny woyld have froke OUT if they realized I (ornothers) was armed. In a very light T-shirt.
LC380 (NOT LCP) in 9x18Mak and a spare mag. 15 total. Very conealable and light. Fit whatbI was wearing, well.
Got home to my (rural) area, put on the 640.(and more comfortable clothes.)
Ibguess, accorsing to some, I am "gonna git kilt in the streets!"
But I shoot them both well.
