Im surprised you guys didn't mention the CZ75, I'm willing to bet that'd be on the list outside of the U.S.
No doubt my brother! I guess they can't catch them all!
The main "Wonder Nines" all seem to be the most reliable - Beretta 92, SIG P226, CZ75, Glock, HK USP, etc.
@@Bristecomglock is always #1
My 226 and cz75 are my favorites. But it's only a list of 5, so good list.
Cz isnt reliable they have lots of issues .
0:50 Full Size Glocks
2:03 S&W 686 Plus
3:37 HK USP
6:29 Beretta M9
10:50 HK Mark 23
I’m shocked a CZ did not make the cut. The 75 is extremely reliable and has had extensive reliability testing
Absolutely, I would choose that over anything they mentioned in this video.
They are also known for spring breakages…
I’ve owned a few CZ75B’s , a Sar B6P , two Tristar S-120’s and have fired hundreds if not thousands of rounds threw all and never had a problem with the guns ( I have had bad ammo that caused a malfunction, but nothing due to the CZ 75B or there clones) Being a baby boomer I have had a gun in my hands for a few more decades than most ( I’m a old fart).
@@ShawnHinckYou are known for gross, vague generalizations of questionable veracity after that crapshow comment.
Especially HO’s P-07 (I know, not exactly a 75) which he’s raved about for years
Reliability is very important to me.
My Smith & Wesson 357 magnum revolver was my first reliable handgun.
The Heckler & Koch 45 USP and 9mm USP are my current reliable handguns.
Honest Outlaw with special guest Mrgunsngear the dynamic duo! Just when you think this channel couldn’t get better.
2 of my favs
I’ll take me some shmexy red headed tall man…..and one GarandThumb
@@jodynorris6975 So much respect for Hickok45. Graham Bates and Paul Harrell too. I'd love to see my top 5 do at least one collabo.
Maybe turn it into a Yankee Marshal roast lol.
Totally agree about the HK Mk 23. It’s an absolute beast of a handgun. Back in the day, we ODA guys were hoping to get these. Apparently, at least in the early 2000’s, these were more pushed towards special applications within NAVSPECWAR and not USASFC. We eventually got a load of 1911’s from out of “deep storage” as a “low vis” carry option to our standard issue M9s. The M9 was still a great secondary for us “normal” team guys. Love the channel and your recent co-labs with MrGuns. Also my 6” Python would like to have a word…….lol. RLTW/DOL🇺🇸🫡
@@jodynorris6975 it’s called a joke, and I was talking about a duo that would be great to have on a video. Mine your own business
I carry a Beretta Elite LTT Centurion almost everyday! Glad to see the 92 Love! It’s a great pistol although a little hefty but not ungodly.
Good choice.
I carry THE LTT Elite Compact and it love it. It is way better than the Beretta M9 I was issued in the Army. But like Mr. Guns N GEAR stated, those were abused, not cared for/maintained and needed to be overhauled.
@@hooty465 Yes, the one I carried worked and shot fine, felt chunky in hand and I didn’t necessarily like it like I did a glock at the time…But the LTT is just another beast all together….. From grip to the amazing trigger it’s just fantastic…..Some other guys in the Army had problems with there m9 but honestly I think it was caused mainly by the soldiers lack of training and maintenance and just being well…You know…
I would have put in the sig P226 or P229 into that list as well.
Right, they put Glock on the list but not a P226 SMH
6:59
SEALS would have their azzs for no P226 on this list.
It’s about reliability not self shootability
Beretta testing of the last batch of M9s delivered to the US military showed ~19k MRBS. So basically if maintained they run without malfunction until the locking block breaks.
I broke "3" locking blocks in the M9 Beretta's , how can they say that with a strait face . Oh , that's right Beretta gives more free guns to reviewers than any other manufacturer.
The crap ergonomics of the Beretta and the locking block breakage should have stopped this one dead in its tracks. I was an instructor for couple years total in the USMC and as a contractor for Active Duty guys. I personally witnessed locking block failure every training evolution. I'd pack several in my armorers box so I could get the shooters back on the line after failures.
I was surprised by the agreement between HO and Madman that Glock is a poor suppressor host. That’s not my experience but I haven’t shot 100 rounds suppressed total. Outlaw can you give us more data? Or a demo?
@@rohawaha my shit was a tank
@@damagedgoods62
Yea but you guys had crap Beretta's that were mistreated for years
Watching both of you guys for many years… Thank you both for your Service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Glad to finally see HK finally get some love.
My personal favorite manufacturer, and it's not close.
Ditto here too 👌🏻
We are a club of three. I love my 1911s, my Hi Power, and my 9 H&K pistols. They're amazing tools.
My father worked at the HK factory for a while in the U.S got to put alot of HK guns together and shoot them. Mp7 ect. They had a massive reject pile of frames, receivers, parts ect. If they were out of tolerance even by a hair. Off to the crusher to get recycled. Their extremely high standards, I believe lead to these results. I was so jealous of the things he got to shoot and make!
Even though that sounds good... the concept of needing extremely perfect tolerances indicates your design is poor....Glock pumps out guns like a Mo Fo and they just run... Interchangeable parts... anyone can do a complete tear down easily...
I shot a G36 while training with the Bundeswehr... it sucked. I guess that's why they say to never meet your heroes lol
HKs and Glocks both run. HKs just run better. It’s like Nissan drivers scoffing at Mercedes owners, for all the bluster it’s not the Mercedes guy that needs to defend his ride 🤷♂️ Haters gonna hate.
Epic combo, Mrgunsngear and Honest Outlaw! Great chemistry and awesome insight!
I just picked up a 686-2 4" yesterday. Love it. A Smith .357 will probably be with me til I leave this world.
I was looking to get a 686 6” lemme how yours is
@@a1phamalestud I've had a 6" for a couple of yrs now. Great shooter. Also have a 629 in 6".
686+ is a great revolver. I want to get the 686 3” next or the L Comp. How is the recoil on the 629 with 44 special compared to 357??
@@ElDuffman The 629 is a bit ferocious, definitely nastier than the 686, especially with wood grips but not so bad with good rubber grips. When I shoot the 629 it's usually 1 cylinder of magnums and several cylinders of special. Ditto for my 6" 686.
@@b2tall239 Might just stick with my 686 for now then. Thanks!
Never had a malfunction in my P226 is 10 years of ownership. I have 40 S&W, 357 Sig, and 9mm barrels/slide assemblies. No issues with any of them.
I would say the same for my P229 in 9mm, which like the HK USP was designed in 1992 for the .40. I've owned a P229 .40 w/ a .357 Sig conversion in standard Nitron and a separate 9mm Legion, and have never had a malfunction except for 1 failure to extract due to bad casing in easily over 15,000 rounds between both.
My P226 is nowhere near as reliable as my USP.
My M9 jammed at least once every 100 rounds and I babied that thing. My 220s (10mm & .45), 229s (.357 Sig & 9mm), and 226s (.40 & 9mm) don't jam.
The 2 BEST Guntubers out there....Thanks, guys for all you both do
Hickok45 and these 2 gents are my top 3 favorite channels.
Oh come on now, what about Matt on Demolition Ranch and Scott and Kentucky Ballistics
Garand thumb and administrative results are classy
@@lemniscatelogos7917 IraqVeteran8888 also
💯💯
Follow both of you and love these videos with you two guys together! So much knowledge
The two best gun channels all in one video!!! Thanks Chris, great idea!
The first gun I bought was a 686, the 7-round, stainless, 6 inch barrel. I love that thing. The second gun I bought was a Sig P229. Both are flawless machines. The Sig will feed and fire any type of round, mixed and matched steel case, hollow point, ball, anything and it just goes bang bang bang.
These team episodes are absolute fire. Appreciate it.
I'm enjoying the collaboration videos. Two of my favorite guntubers working together to create great content.
Glad to hear two I own, and absolutely love, the Glock 19X and Beretta 92X made your list. I also am liking the Springfield XDM Elite as well.
I would have gone with a Ruger GP100 over the S&W but I guess that honorable mention takes care of that.
Me too. But I'm a Ruger fanboy.
Saying that I've never owned a S&W wheelgun
Definitely. The GP is a more robust gun and bomb proof.
Great video Gents! Appreciate your knowledge and info shared with us!
Great video and very informative!! Luv you guys working together!!
You guys have quite the bromance going😂
Keep it up
You two are the best out there!
You guys definitely need to continue to do videos together. Great job. Your opinions and personalities work well together.
Awesome to see these two come together ; thats alot of shell casings to kick around between these gents , much appreciated and very inspiring guys..
Love to see you guys working together. Great vid. Ty.
You guys are awesome. Love to see HK getting some love. Impressive engineering and quality. I'd love to see me some Ruger single action revolvers as well!
What a treat having you both on the same video. Thank you for what you do.
Love the dynamic duo videos. Keep them coming. Thanks fellas!
Love that y’all did a collaboration and got together. This needs to happen more often throughout the entire Gun tuber community.
Love Mike, and it's great to see these collaborations! Enjoyed his videos with Crowder as well. His personality seems a bit different when he's working with others. Not at all a bad thing, but he's definitely a no-nonsense individual!
I really think he relaxed more in this video. Who wouldn't be nervous with Crowder though? You never know what he's going to say next haha
Honest Outlaw and Mr. Guns N Gear doing videos together is pure fire.
Loving the series, more colabs between channels would be awesome!
Two of my favorite gun Tubers! Great video!
In my opinion, when it comes to high cap .45 ACP, FNP/FNX 45 are absolutely amazing! On the aspect of: reliability, capacity, accuracy, and recoil. Perfection!
Was waiting for the P229 or P226 to show up instead of the SW revolver.
Yeah, I was kind of surprised one of the older SIGs didn't show up.
Another nonsense clickbait video. I think that's the only explanation.
P229 is my go to gun.
Another excellent video from you 2! Thanks.
Loved the collab as I’m subbed to both you guy’s. I guessed the MK23 was going to top the chart as it should.
Dynamic Duo of Destruction... great video! Thanks guys!
I was an armorer in an Aviation unit when the Beretta was adopted, you never saw a happier group of pilots! Giving up those old S&W model 10’s I can understand it!
I enjoy both of your channels. You are both very knowledgeable and glad to see you work together
One of the coolest vids I’ve watched in a while. 2 good dudes I watch come together to inform,…very entertained.👍🏻
Reliability is a must! Thanks 🙏🏽 for putting out this video. I trust both of you guys when it comes to firearm reviews. Please keep up with the great content!
Interesting that the Sig 226 isn't on your list... or anything from CZ.
I agree, I would pick the CZ 75 or the Sig P226 over anything they mentioned in the video.
@@ripthejacker6020 , my P226 is nowhere near the gun that my USP40 is.
Agreed. I had an M9 and that thing jammed at least once every 100 rounds... maybe an anomaly. My 220s, 229s, and 226s never jam. Wish I could say the same for my 320s and 365s, albeit a little more picky with ammo and still great firearms.
This is incredible. My two favorite gun review guys together in a video. Thank you.
Two of the best guys on Guntube. Awesome video, great picks on the guns!
The few guns I currently own were purchased after seeing both of your firearms video demonstrations! 👍Thank you both for your expertise and seriousness.❤🎉
I just came across your channel & pretty much immediately subscribed. I appreciate your straightforward approach to addressing the topics that you choose to tackle. The fact that you don't ramble on or give opinions not based on some facts is refreshing. I'm gonna purchase my 1st pistol shortly & am in the R&D stage of it. I'm gonna spend a chunk of change(or am willing to anyway) so I really need some stats along w/expert opinions,like from an armorer. I've shot a Beretta 92,Remington R1 1911,HK USP, Ruger SR9 & a Glock 17. I'm leaning to the HK family,just 'cause! So thanks for showing all this good info mull over & help to solidify my choice.
Fantastic video. I hope you have some others like this to be released.
Keep them coming....two of the best.
I have four HK pistols, several LTT Berettas, and love them all! Great video!
Ive been watching both of your channels for years awesome seeing a collaboration
I'm a subscriber to both of your channels and I respect your opinion's on many of the different firearms you guys review. I was surprised that the Sig P226 wasn't on your list?
Great list! Was surprised a S & W M & P didn’t make it.
They’ve been put through military trials a couple of times and never seem to end up in the top 3.
Great guns, more than reliable enough for 99% of us (I carry a shield plus all the time). Just not quite there compared to others on the list.
Money comes into play with military trials as well. SIG makes great firearms but I think money and politics really played a huge role with the trials. Glock was the other contender at the end and they know how to play politics and through money (or in this case discounts) around. Glock got their foot in the door with LE and give them great deals. They dominate LE not because they’re better than the rest, they’re cheaper than the rest and familiar. The M&P has been proving very reliable and even outperforming Glock in Garand Thumbs tests and he’s a Glock guy. Granted it’s a sample size of one.
2 of my favorite gun guys! Keep it up fellas!
Love the collab, keep up the good work
love both these guys ty fellas great video
Great to see you two do some collaborations....hope to see more in the future. Great list of most reliable handguns...
Love these collabs!!!
Two of my favorite people / channels.. Especially when it comes to absolutely LEGIT information, and not all the fluff some of our other humourous gunner youtubers..
This was an awesome video. Thanks! Of course... you just added to my "buy" list.
Thank you for the info on the difficulty on suppressing Glocks. I did not know that. I have been struggling to find a suppressor or compensator that I can get to work on my Glock without having stove pipes or failures to extract.
I’m very surprised the CZ 75 series is not listed…
I was too. I would pick the CZ 75 or the Sig P226 over anything they mentioned in the video.
Both you guys are AWESOME!!!
Two great creators, well done!
Fantastic collaboration gentlemen! I'm a huge fan of both of your channels. Please make this an annual thing.
No DISRESPECT, 2 of the best
If I Had to Choose 2(specially hands on)
I’m Recruiting Honest Outlaw & Hickok45
The only two semi-auto handguns I own that I've put enough rounds through to put on a list like this would be my H&K USP (.45) and Sig P226 (9mm). They're the only two handguns I own that have had absolutely ZERO failures of any kind. I do have a few that are borderline but I haven't put enough rounds through them to call it just yet: H&K P30 (9mm), CZ P-01 (9mm), and Springfield XDS (.45). From memory I don't think I've had any issues with those three, just haven't shot them as much. My only Glock is a 23 and I've had a few stovepipes over the years, might just be a .40 issue though.
Im was waiting for the P226 to be mentioned
Thanks for the reviews here Chris and Mike.
Makes me sooooo happy to see y'all on a vid together. Please do more.
The worst part of this video is that it wasn't longer. I hoped you filmed more content. Great video guys.
I need this collaboration a minimum of twice a year. You guys are awesome
I really enjoyed the collaboration. Great job, guys.
I really enjoyed the video thank you, 2 of the top tier channels..
Surprised to not see the M&P 2.0 here after all the tests various channels have done on them.
My two models certainly have never ever failed me. I would swear by them. (Shield Plus and a full-sized .40 Cal)
I feel like they're gauging endurance and durability more than reliability. While these go hand in hand, the M&P is proven, but not as fielded. It's been carried by police but not in combat. Not through mud and sand and snow and ice. I know Garand Thumb showed the M&P would power through those things, even better than some of the guns mentioned here, but his tests were also extreme examples. And those test do not represent long term endurance. While I have no proof, I would bet that frozen again and again, the Mark 23 would long outlast an M&P's springs and parts.
@@spencer848 Well stated. You are mostly likely correct.
Full size PX4 Storm G model is one of the most reliable, softest shooting guns on the face of the earth. Love HK's too.
That’s exactly what I carry most days.
I'm glad you said it before I did
Facts
Love this collaboration!
Great video - Carried the Beretta in the Army and its still one of my all time favorites. MK23 is the whole reason im obsessed with .45 acp (thanks Splinter Cell) - I was hoping to see the FNX45 on the list, but I started having issues with it suppressed, need to test more and hopefully it was just because of being overly dirty. Glad to see my two favorite guntubers together, absolutely amazing!
Mark 23 in 460 rowland anyone? That'd be devastatingly powerful and reliable
So cool you guys did this together. And BTW…love me a big, full-sized Glock!
Video Summary: Glock 17 (or 19), S&W 686 in 357, HK USP, Beretta M9, HK mk23 ($2300)
My personal opinion is M&P9 gen2 (beat glock in both Garand Thumb Neptune Freeze and mud tests)
Feel that, I own both but carry my MP far more even tho larger
But not in MAC’s gauntlet tests 😂 which is done way better than GT’s or Neptunes tests. Also GT has said multiple times he conceal carries a Glock not M&P 🤯
Agreed
@greg9770 fan boy. Give it up. His test were doo doo
@@Mr._Infamous no GT’s test are doodoo. MAC does his test far more fairly and evenly. Go back and watch GT’s mud test. The M&P only passed the first pass because it was spotless (it had no mud on it), then they tested it a second time and actually got mud on it and it failed to fire 4 times 🤣. U can literally go back and watch it, but u won’t. It would shatter your ego. The g17 out performed every other handgun in MAC’s gauntlet test.
If you keep making videos together, Ill keep watching 'em! Good stuff!
Great collaboration. Great video and content.
Glad I have a HK USP 9 coming in this week. It came down to that or a Sig P226 and I probably couldn't have gone wrong either way.
Buy both you won't regret it.
I loved the M9 when I was serving. Kinda hurt my heart when the military scrapped it.
Two of the best reviewers out there!
Good to see you guys together again.
Good list. All fine choices you can't go wrong with.
That being said... for MY money... I'm going with the Sig P226 Mk 25. Finest duty handgun ever made IMHO. 👍🏾
I went the same direction as well!
Agreed
I like the P229 personally, but I agree
P226 here also I've only put around 4,000 rounds through it, but it hasn't malfunctioned yet
Sig Macro and 19X are my cc's, and CZ P-10F is my nightstand gun. AR15 with PWS long stroke piston upper/Windham lower, is my primary. I switch between the 19X and P10 for my secondary weapon on my gun belt.
19x is battle time.
Awesome video guys, thanks! Appreciate your insight. The new Colt revolvers coming out are very impressive. Picked up a 2” King Cobra and love absolutely everything about it.
And that’s why revolvers should have their own 5. When I first started carrying I bought a used SP101 talo and it’s a TANK!
@@connorjohnson5530 SP101 is badass. If I didn’t end up with the KC, the SP101 would be in my safe.
One of my main reasons for keeping my M9 was the fact that you could put a can on it and it stays relatively flat versus other handguns due to that barrel
All I need to complete the set is an HK. Great video.
Browning Hi-Power or a CZ75 I think could/should of sneaked onto this list.
yea CZ p-01 NATO certed
@@janneman27 Yip, momentary loss of concentration. Being a bloke I'm just proving we can't do two things at once and multi - task. Lol
Hi power is a good gun as long as you don't have to shoot it at an awkward angle because that slide will give you a hefty bite at best.
@@andrewaustin6369 It really shouldn't matter what angle you shoot it at. Your hands are always making the same grip.
Good collab. Defintley 2 of my top 5 gun channels.
Love the Collab keep up the good work.
Well done gents glad a couple of my tried and trues mad it on there, never getting rid of the .45 USP , not based on just it's outstanding performance but as they stated the look of prime craftsmanship
My current nightstand gun is the M9A4. It’s extremely accurate.
I'm subscribed to both your channels you both are awesome thanks for your great video's.
I'd vote for the M&P 2.0. Never had a failure with it myself and I've seen some insane torture tests with it surviving while others failed (Garand Thumb's ice and mud tests come to mind)
Same here. I have had a few and no issues ever. Even my original Shield with a 400 round torture test and kinda dry without cleaning or oiling it.
I think they touched on it a bit early in the video... longevity plays a big part in reliability. The 2.0 doesn't have that yet.
@@dougphelps6917 I'm not familiar with the reliability of the s&w 1.0, but if you were to only look at the 2.0s longevity and not the m&p as a whole you would almost have to separate glock generations as well.
Exactly kinda bs it wasn’t on the list
@@dougphelps6917 Fair enough
No CZ p07?? It’s unreal how reliable it’s been for me n 2 million other ppl 😂 and big fan of Mrgun too
Reliability and longevity... I don’t think CZ’s have proven themselves comparable to H&K. Perhaps in 20 years it’ll be a different discussion.
@@zebwalton979 what? CZ 75 is one of the best platforms of all time I shot 7k + rounds in my P07 since 2018 and it’s still like a brand new gun
