Funny - your graph includes almost exclusively the assault weapons ban time period and then stops in 2014. It is definitely misleading to say gun murder rates have gone down without the context of the fact the weapons ban spans the majority of your graph and then you don't show after 2014 where it goes back up. Pretty sneaky and lame.
Over 1M Americans dead isn't a real pandemic, huh? Good gun advice, but leave the medical opinions to medical professionals or someone who thinks 1M dead Americans is a lot.
Shooting a gun well is the best metric. Its why I have 3 different Beretta 92’s. And also why I have a Hellcat Pro. That thing feels like OJ in my hand. The Glock has that knuckle bite from the trigger guard. Couldn’t do it. But never have I been so affirmed in my choice for the Hellcat Pro than you Glock fanbois shitting on it LOL good video tho
And why wasn’t reliability scored? Your channel is always about the bougiest gear cuz its the most reliable, amirite? Seems fanboi-ish to me to just choose Glocks cu their Glocks. Very UNobjective
My two cents: my 365xl shoots perfectly fine. I also have size small hands, so I can get solid purchase on it where on many guns I can only get tenuous grip at best. But your mileage will vary.
I just picked up the FN reflex without the red dot plate for 475.00 So far no failures of any kind, I wasn’t shooting Winchester white box. Shoots to point of aim.It took a few mags to get used to the light trigger pull. The grip texture works well for me, although I was not shooting the high round count as you were. My 68 year old eyes were able to pick up the sights pretty well. Out of all the micro 9’s I have tried this one works best for me. I agree with your top choice with the Glock. I have several Glock and they are hard to beat. For right now I’ll keep carrying the original mico9 the Glock 26
My Shield Plus striker just broke. I am not happy. Doubt this is a common breakage (hope not) but it is super disappointing. Guess I'm getting a 43x cause my faith in the Shield+ is now zero. 1,200 rounds in. You never know if or "when" it may brake but happy I was on the range and not in a fight for my life.
I’m not even going to watch this video. Knowing that the trex arms dude is a Glock f**gboi, he will of course take his usual shit on the Sig, and all the others, in favor of whatever Glock makes that’s the same size. Moving on…
I use a canik mete mc9, it’s a little bigger than all of these, eps carry on it as well. It’s definitely easier to shoot for me than other guns in its class. I also shoot hammer fired primarily p01/shadow 2
1:22:37 I stayed away from Glock as long as I could. Got a s&w, then a beretta, then a sig. I just couldn’t be consistent with the gun even slow shooting. I caved and shot a Glock and that was it. I consistently got on target, even when I increased my rate of fire I stayed on target. Don’t know if it’s the grip angle or the palm size but it works. And at the end of the day it’s a tool of production. That’s all that matters is that it works.
Should have gave them all an EPS carry. How the hell are you guys tearing your hands up so bad does every micro give you slide bite? Once I got the wilson grip module on the 365 that issue completely stopped for me.
I have to go Hellcat Pro hands down again the pro model shoots flat , is a double stack & has a consistent trigger. That being said it not best for a weak wrist shooter. The push pull method is best technique for accurate center mass.
I've had my M&P shield .40 since 2017 or 2018 I believe. It's great, but I did just discover one "issue" recently. I does not like to cycle Hornady Self Defense rounds (the fancy ones with the red plastic tips). I thought I was limp wrist'ing it so I tried to hold on for dear life, still had a cycle failure. Those same rounds cycled fine in a full size .40. I've fired at least 4 different brands of ammo out of it and never had an issue. It's got the high-viz iron sights which are wonderful.
The whole point of micros are for concealablility... Adding additional height with a red dot is fucking stupid and you should feel stupid thinking it's a good idea.
I disagree with the size being the same as a G19. I carried a G17 and G19 for quite a few years. I only recently transitioned to the Micro Dagger. It's a LOT more comfortable to carry. That narrowness makes a huge difference. But I do use a light that's flush with the barrel, so there's that. I think the Hellcat they evaluated should have been the Pro. My wife and a good friend of mine have them and size wise it's about the same as my PSA Micro Dagger. (Barrel is slightly longer) I agree with just about everything in this assignment. The trigger sucks but I put an aftermarket trigger in my friend's gun that helped quite a bit. The accuracy can be very good. I put a Holosun 407K on my wifes gun and when I was zeroing it, I shot a nice tight little group. However no matter what I do my thumb always lands on the slide catch. It looks like they purposely moved it backwards. Maybe for shooter with small hands. I have the same problem with my Micro Dagger, but only when I'm drawing from the holster, and shooting on the clock. I think if I work on my grip, I can overcome it. Note: I shoot my PSA Micro Dagger quite a bit and I have not experienced any malfunctions. If I do start to see them I will go back to carrying my G19.
Hm. I own a kimber I got from my dad ages ago... and I have not had this happen, but I also haven't tried to mag dump it fast. I think that I will do so today. Mine's also shorter so not exactly apples to apples...
The government requires mufflers on cars and trucks but not on firearms. Why? I think this should be a healthcare issue, right! 😅 Seriously though, they do save your hearing. I would have several if it wasn't for the fact that you have to sign your life away to the AFT. I'm NOT doing that!
Glock slides just bit! Ihad such a problem with it that I put bever tails on all my Glocks. I sanded the frame flat put two tiny screws in the frame the took a piece of cardboard tube and mad a form making sure to tape it up well so I wouldn't get any over pour. I filled the form with JB weld. Once it cured. I sanded it into the shape I wanted. I did it to 4 different Glocks a Gen 3 G26, a Gen 3 G19, a P80 Compact (G19 clone) and P80 full size (G17 clone) I now have a PSA Micro Dagger that I'm considering doing it to also. Though it's not nearly as bad about taking chunks of my flesh as my other Glocks were. I used to say my Glocks required a blood sacrifice.
I’m surprised the hellcat didn’t rate higher I would do a hellcat pro here in 2024. Springfield is selling it as a package deal with 3 (15) mags and 2 (17) mags for $519 grabagun.
Reality based self defense would be great. I get that running and shooting with your fancy red dot looks super cool….on the internet . Most self defense shootings don’t involve any and I mean ANY of that BS. The videos that I have seen, people just point and shoot. THEN run for cover PERHAPS. Cool stuff but I would love REALITY based content.
You guys are Springfield hating Glocktards. The grip angle of Glock and your level of training means your automatically biased. The Hellcat (the carry gun I perfer over any other gun in the world) has great accuracy and reliability so if you train to tame the grip then it really is the best gun. The grip angle is different so I shoot glocks worse and everything else better
I'd be very curious about the performance of low dollar guns thrown into the mix, such as taurus. These are popular sales where I work because of the price. I would love to have some good data on them to relay to customers compared to these guns.
