Where can you get a PDP for under $500?
@@daniel-eo3rzI just wrote that before seeing your comment haha! My gf and I went and looked specifically for PDPs on Saturday. $650
Just remember to add shipping and the FFL transfer fee. YMMV.

Ruger security 9
I'm 69 and the Canik TP9 Elite SC is my first handgun. Felt like an extension of my hand from the first time I picked it up. Trigger is amazing and it's deadly accurate.
I carry thatwith a 507K red dot with a PL mini 2 olight and i also carry my G43X with night sights and shield arms 15 round mag with a steel mag catch and a PL Mini 2 Olight. I love them both
I've only heard good things about the Cantx
Carry a shield plus every day. Bought it for $449. Night sights, optics cut, and came with 5 magazines. Absolutely love this gun.
Yup. Same here. I loved the 1.0, but when the Plus came out with all those extras I jumped on it. I hope they don't make the 3.0 yet. I'm still loving this for edc
Same here. Bought the tritium night sight OR version with 3 addnl mag promo. Love it.
4 Shield's in my safe, and one on my body.
Yep me too and it’s my most reliable as well. >2k rounds, zero failures w all kinds of ammo.
I work at a gun shop and we had them for 399.99. I’m not a fan of Smith and Wesson as a brand nor do I particularly like the Shield plus but the price for what you get is tough to beat. Needless to say they were not in stock for long
I think the PDP is one of the most underrated handguns out. I bought one with the intention of adding an optic, and it has quickly grown to one of my favorite pistols. Wasn’t expecting that.
I love mine, I tried several pistols when I started shooting and the PDP felt the most balanced. I put a red dot on it 2 weeks ago and I love it even more
Great ergos and trigger but way snappier than it needs to be
It’s very highly-rated by everyone that reviews it. It’s super hyped up and is the new hotness in handguns. There’s a lot of things to be said about it but underrated is not one of them lol
Absolutely love mine with the holosun on it
@@benjamin3290 - Yes, it's very snappy, but I find that the blowback is well balanced in a way that makes it snap back to target again very quickly.
“Now usually, if you get a girl that goes both ways and still sucks that’s good, but in this case not so much”… pure gold lol 😂
Caught me off guard 💀💀
I was hoping we weren’t just gonna glance over that line.
I thought the comments would be talking about this more. That was great.
I was fully focused on shooting and had to replay. Did he really say that 😂
CZ P=07 is one of my all-time favorite pistols. If it has to be a striker, Walther PDP has great grip texture and with its step chamber is remarkably accurate. Truly we are in the golden age for handgunners.
These videos are actually priceless for folks who really have to maximize their cost to quality and number of firearms dollars. If you can only afford or want one pistol incredibly valuable info.
This info is readily available anywhere and everywhere
@@boomee78ok. thanks for being useless
There always has to be that one guy.
@@boomee78your mom is readily available anywhere and everywhere
There is tons of info, but a majority is crap. You usually get fanbois who rave about the pistol they bought. He actually shoots all of these different guns a LOT. I haven't found any online resource that is comparable to him.
I found a great gun store in small town Clinton Iowa, I turn 21 in two days and I cannot wait! My budget is $500-$600. Amazing video!
Your probably my top guntuber. Tons of info and experience in a concise package. No cinematic bullshit lol.
@@janneman27 *Yew'r 🤓
Depends on what you’re looking for. Everyday purchases, yea this channel rocks. But if you want the best info on actual service weapons Garand Thumb blows this channel out of the water. You’ll just have to deal with the “cinematic bullshit” ya fuckin dweeb.
Love my P07. Found it on consignment at a local FFL for 4 Bills. Having been trained by our Uncle Sam on the 1911 and M9, DASA for home security is perfect for me.
Your reviews of canik pistols are why I bought my first one now I have five and I'm not mad
Bout to buy my first, MC9
Walthers amaze me with their value. Its wild that they arent more popular. I wish i’d looked into them more when i was first getting into striker fired handguns
If they were smaller or thinner in size, they would be.
They are fine guns, but except for their PPS, Walther isn't as carry-friendly as most of the competition.
@@JD-tn5lzThey only bother advertising their duty pistols, which have gotten increasingly larger. My entire carry rotation is Walther, but I passed on the PDP because it is HUGE. But the PPS and CCP are both both very concealable, not to mention the PPK for the all metal crowd. And of their duty pistols the P99 is very easy to carry. They just spend no effort getting their name out there. But they are also always sold out, so maybe they have something figured out
Agreed I love my 22... smoothest gun I've ever shot. I only use hollow points, but yes it is a big heavy for what it is.
My PPQ M2 9mm still shoots very reliably after 7+ years and however many rounds. Love that thing with the biggest provided grip. My go to home defense pistol with a light.
You never bore me. 99% of the youtubers bore me to tears. All information without the nonsense. Thanks
I bought the Canik based on your reviews of the gun. It was between that and the Shield Plus. I love the gun. So accurate. The trigger is amazing. Everything I wanted in an EDC gun. Thanks!
I love my Canik too! They should be more popular. Best trigger on a gun under $500 easily.
Try finding parts
I’m very surprised the CZ P10-c didn’t make the list. It’s better than most of the guns on this list in my opinion. Last one I saw in store was around $400
It's one of the best striker fired guns. Great ergos, very low felt recoil and muzzle flip. Great for first time shooters
It is better I agree. Thankfully it made his first list though for guns under $350 since you can find them online for $300-350 all day.
The p10C and p10F are the two guns I rotate between carrying the most, like by far. I’m about to send off my P09 to get milled for an optic, and that thing will be added into rotation immediately. CZ just doesn’t miss!!!
I think this is a "Guns between 350 and 500" video, he just made an "Under 350" video
He had the p10 on the 350 list
I was able to setup a TP9SC with Canik's conceal carry optic (MO1) for $500. Considering they give you a holster and a good optic mounting system out of the box, that's a pretty solid deal.
How is the holster I've heard mixed things
@@blackghost1791 they're not phenomenal, I mean they're like a $30 holster, but they function fine. They come setup for OWB, but what most people don't realize is that you can swap the clips around and have an appendix holster. In that configuration it worked just fine for me.
My only issue with this list is that I don’t know where you’re seeing guns like the FN 509 and Walther PDP for under $500. Even big box stores near me like Bass Pro sell them for well over $600, and their MSRPs are well above that.
Next video make a top 10 places to shop for firearms so we can get the same deals! 😂
Buying online at places like dahlonega, family firearms, and Kentucky gun co is where you’ll find the best prices. They’ll ship it to your ffl (so make sure they’ll do the transfer and make sure you factor in that fee to your comparison but almost certainly you’ll still come out ahead) and you’ll go in and do the transfer. I haven’t seen the pdp for under $500 there either but I haven’t really been looking either. Just checked and FF has them listed for $650 but has an “email for customized quote” button (so they can get around map) and for the 509c they’re asking $549 currently price in cart.
@@Andrew_182 I replied to someone else to say that there is/was a distributor going $430 for the 509c, but it required a coupon code. I suspect the comment was removed for looking like advertising.
Ya they aren’t. Same goes for the hellcat pro’s. That is not a $500 gun. At least not new it sure as hell isn’t.
Bud's
10 years ago a co working of mine sold me his M&P Shield 40, he said he could not hit anything with it! He sold it to me for 150.00. He only had 50 rounds through it. It's been my edc since. I love it! Had new sights and trigger work done.
Love my PDP. Have just about 2000 rounds through it and no issues. Was not under $500 here in NY ($699) but worth the money.
They aren’t. It’s FUD so he can upload and collect ad revenue. I don’t think really any of these handguns are sub $500. Most of them listed were $650-$750 handguns.
@@9770G He's mentioned that he has "iowa prices" but yeah, kinda funny that most of us live in populated areas lol
maybe he's using prices he paid for it? I bought mine when they first hit shelves and they were 499 in my area. They've dramatically shot up sense then, so I agree that it doesn't belong here, but that about the only reason I can think of.
@@Colonel_Bat_Guano even in the middle of nowhere Iowa do I believe a handgun that is normally $750-$800 is going for $500. Maybe $600-$650 but no way it’s $500.
@@Colonel_Bat_Guano idk what Iowa is doing lol, but those prices are crazy low
I’m a big PDP fan. It’s definitely in the top tier of pistols at its price range. Never seen one under $500. They’re typically $630-650 for the regular and an extra $100 for the pro. By the way, I would recommend the pro for most people. They give you around $500-600 worth of upgrades for $100.
In all my gun shops around me I can never find Glocks under $500
Try online. I just ordered a 43x and even with the FFL transfer and shipping it's only going to be $434.
Glock used to be $500 now they are a $600 gun
Used, lol
@@spindiamond*Like New Lightly Used
Family Firearms or Dahlonega Armory. Also I'm about to sell my G19 gen 4 if you want it haha.
Shield plus optics ready comes with tridium night sights can use 10-13-15+1 magazines can't go wrong
Shot my PDP 4" C with Holosun 507c X2 over 100m (110 yds). Three out of the first four shots were in 7 on a P10/P4 (Swiss paper target). This gun is incredibly accurate. The missing shot was just me.
I almost bought a Walther PDP Full size. But I found a Canik Mete SFX for $70 less, so that's what I went with. 1 yr later, I'm happy with my choice.
That being said, any of these guns on this list will serve you well.
I still have my PPQ M2, first gun I bought, and it is still. Work horse. Well above 2000+ and still as crisp and accurate as when I took it out of the box. Trijicon night sights and stream light, works perfect
Fuck yeah me too. Love that Gun to death. I have the ppq sc 3.5 barrel. That’s my edc only issue I have with it is that it’s hard to conceal on me
Same here, my 2nd handgun, I still have my PPQ M2 Navy and it is still the best. I regret the tactical version, very similare and optic ready but came with a shitty red dot and... rust fast. So I get a PDP C but well, it's a little bulky and I prefer the PPQ grip.
I carry a walther pdp 4" daily and I absolutely love the gun, but there is one small complaint I have. I LOVE the grip and the stipling on it, but it isn't the most comfortable to carry at times. The stipling is great but it's pretty rough on the skin while carrying.
So many options! Also the IWI Masada Slim; smaller than the 43x in all dimensions but 3 rounds more; same price, and very shootable. RMS-C Optic cut, SIG sight cuts, and CZ-75 pattern mags; excellent interoperability.
Edit: My wife claimed my Shield Plus. ;-)
Concur with the Masada Slim. Since I got mine, all the others I had in that same niche have been sold off. I rotate it with my CZ PCR for EDC. As Chris said, find the one(s) that you like and have fun.
It’s my edc also Working Great for me👍
I picked up a Masada slim for $414 from my LGS. One of the best bargains for conceal carry. Wish I kept it, it really is a great option.
PDP has been my carry gun for the last year maybe 2 and cannot be more excited to talk about it. It truly made me enjoy shooting with handguns again. I’m not the best shot with a pistol but I can usually get the job done, but I could never shoot my 365 (standard or XL) as accurate as I could a Taurus G2C, a P229, or a Glock. Idk what it was but the micro 9 just never worked for me. The PDP made me feel like I was a competition shooter. It’s the best thing I’ve gotten in hand and I’m very happy that it’s my do it all gun now
Have an M&P 2.0 Compact with the 3.6 barrel and it works. Feels great in my hand. And 15 +1 rounds in the magazine it has capacity. My EDC
I figured the Shield would make the list but I'm glad you confirm the gun above my junk is number 1! I bought it weeks after it came out for $520, but found an OR version about a year ago for $400, and they both work great!
I continue to appreciate your acknowledgement of the gem of a pistol the P-07 is. Amazing video as always!
I would have to agree 💯 I have the big brother P-09 and it is an absolute dream to shoot. That omega DA/SA trigger is oh so good 👍
I have carried a P 07 for several years it's my favorite. Last year put a Cajun gun works spring kit for about $50. It took it to next level. Super accurate and steady to shoot.
Love my p07 jst sucks the mags are so expensive
Walther PDP and SIG P365x for me! In my area both were a little over $500 but worth it!
Thanks for addressing the thieving A.I RUclips channels. They get put in my feed above my subscriptions. RUclips is pushing them.
My next purchase is going to be a Walther PDP, the full size 18rd 4.5in barrel.
Been dying to get a PDP. Love my P99 AS I've had for 13 yrs, and from everything I see the PDP is even better in almost every aspect.
Before you buy one, try the PDP-F. I have both, but man. I really like the length of pull on the F series, the grip for my medium hands is more ergonomic.
@jessesando8582 Oh thanks, good point! Yeah I got smaller hands so that might be an even better way to go.
Shield plus and the P07 are my go to carry guns. 2000 plus in each. Love them....
I don't think the P-07 has been discontinued. It's still on the CZ website, I've seen them in gun shops and I know someone who bought a new one recently. Now they just need to make an optics ready model.
Agreed, CZ "discontinues" individual SKUs but continues with the actual gun. P07s are also pretty successful.
It was the odg frame P07 that got discontinued
Yeah, it's not discontinued it's just a bit hard to find sometimes. A combination of not making a huge number of them and their popularity. The only thing discontinued was the 40cal version.
I snagged a factory new VP9 last month for $475, HK also had a promotion going on so I got 4 extra mags free for 6 total. Not OR but blacked out rear with tritium front. Gotta say I’m pretty stoked about this gun for this price.
You should be pretty stoked if you only paid $475 for a new VP9. I paid over $800 for mine.
@@phillipsheppard5361 I am! Amazing deal. Although not a tritium front sight like I had said, it’s green luminescent.
I completely agree with the S&W and CZ. They are just great firearms. Wish I could afford all the guns on your list. I fired the PDP at the local range. It is a big gun.
The compact is my appendix ccw. Check out the compact model. Perfect size. I am only 5 10 and 145lbs. It barely prints when I reach for stuff
I now have2 CZ P07’s just because they discontinued it. It is my go to and the first one I grab when I’m home. Your original review of the P07 is the reason I got my first one 8 years ago
They only discontinued the .40, the OD green and the suppressor height sight and extended barrel version. The P-07/09 in standard black are still being imported.
Respect to ACTUALLY reviewing the tool an using ur own options. Much respect 🤙🇺🇲
I picked up a 5" pdp back in July and I gotta say it is a phenomenal gun. They only downside is it is a little snappy which can be a problem if your grip is a little weak. Also the sights kinda suck in my opinion, but throw an optic on that bad boy and man it is a tac driver.
I absolutely love my 9mm M&P2.0 4.25". However, I did replace the sights as I am not a fan of the 3 white dot style. But, it is an amazing home defense handgun. Plus, I am 6'2" and can appendix carry it without printing.
A black sharpie on the rear sights can really get the job done for about $2 and 15 seconds of labor
I carry my M&P 2.0 metal with no issues at all!!! Love it
@@msquared9605amen
@@GodGunsGills Love that Metal look. Nice choice.
I take issue a little bit with the P365 listed as an "under $500" gun. Best I've seen it for is $499.99. I suppose, technically that makes it under $500, but the only way to get that price (that I've seen) is online which means there will be an FFL transfer fee on top of taxes. If you're finding the P365 and Walther PDP for under $500 out in Iowa, maybe it's time for me to move.
Excellent selection of affordable carry handguns. My personal favorites: *Walther PDP C, Sig Sauer P365 XMacro TACOPS, Canik TP9 Elite SC, CZ P10 C, and the newly released Hellcat Pro (17+1).*
The x macro is is like 300+ more than the hellcat pro sig is riding off of there military contract to charge people more
@@tyshindeldecker7800 You buy what you like and can afford. I love the Sig XMacro TACOPS, albeit I agree it is overpriced. Actually, I am interested in the new Hellcat 17+1.
@@v.german11b I love both guns I’ve shot both but logically I think saving 300+ is nice cuz that’s money for a red dot/light/ ammo with the guns being the exsact same height, width, and length it’s just makes more sense to me
@@v.german11b I’m also pretty sure it’s just a new mag for the hellcat they added two rounds to match sig which works because sigs flush mag stuck out more anyway
@@tyshindeldecker7800 As it is, the XMacro TACOPS is a great pistol, but the price should be around $600. The soon to be released Hellcat 17+1 will get my attention.
I just bought a Canik Tp9 sfx for $552 and 100rds of ammo, absolutely love the gun! Canik is doing it right!
If you like the Canik you should look at the Tisas PX-9 Gen3. Another very nice Turkish gun with a lot of great features and they start at less than $300 and are very reliable. Based on the Springfield Xd-m and fits the XD holsters, uses Sig P226 18+ round mags, glock compatible sights, sweet trigger, comes with a nice plastic box full of accessories including grip side panels and back straps for 27 different grip customizations, as well as a magwell if you want that too. Awesome gun for a very good price at Bud's gun.
Aside from lackluster aftermarket support, the IWI Masada is a damn good one for under $500. Mine is actually my bedside gun.
Agreed. I like the longer grip making it much easier to shoot. I put a Talon grip on mine and made it even better for me.
Very good option
Yes I love my masada
I'd rather get ball cancer than buy a jew gun.
@MrWhiskeyShits - The God of Israel can make that happen, so I’d respectfully advise taking greater care in how you speak about people groups, especially original stock.
I got my PDP the year it came out. Got the compact for 550 and it is still running strong. Great gun. Great company.
How is it for concealed carry, im worried itll be printing a bunch , im in Florida
Shield Plus doesn’t get the credit it truly deserves!
Its one of the best selling guns 😑
@@WN_Byers but not THE best
M&P9 M2.0 Compact 3.6 I have is great. I bought mine used for around $300. Hasn’t failed me yet.
Carry both the TP9 Elite SC & the P-07...the CZ does make me feel slightly safer for appendix
Adore is the correct word for how I feel about my PDP C4. When handed to others, the first response is always, "OMG, that grip is incredible!" Its accuracy right out of the box made practicing at 50yards and beyond easy.
'A girl that goes both ways and still sucks' 😅...this is why I have to prewatch your videos before the Missus asks about my dating history from laughing too hard 😂😂😂
The APX has been on my list since it released. Still haven't had a chance to get one, yet, but heard nothing but good things about it.
10\10 would recommend
From what I can tell the P-07 has not been discontinued, just the Urban Grey and OD Green models.
The M&P 2.0 compact, S&W shield plus, the CZ P01 & P10C are it for me.. there the best 9mm carry guns in my opinion.. and the P07 can easily be on my list too.. there the best that are halfway affordable anyway lol those guns made me a S&W & CZ fanboy.. there are other good ones too but those are just my favorite's that I depend on and wouldn't trade for anything
The full size M&P 2.0 in 40 is a great duty gun/open carry or home defense gun too especially with night sights and a flashlight.. easily the best shooting 40 that I have probably ever fired
Love my PDP Compact, upgraded it with a Harrington Arms Comp and slapped on a Surefire x300 Ultra. Currently using a Holosun 507 with the Vulcan ACSS reticle. Might swap to a Holosun EPS sight though.
I have a 507 on my PDP with the ACSS and love it.
I think I've shared this on here before, but I was a big glock guy before I shot the M&P 2.0. I bought the 3.6" and fell in love when I shot it. When my wife shot it she immediately demanded her own for ccw. My mom shot it, and bought a 4" model the next day. We all repaced various glocks with M&Ps. Glock rested on their laurels, and they've been outdone in my opinion.
My carry’s are caniks and glocks. However, I’m interested in the apx a1. $399 with a $100 rebate is a great deal. I just need to get my hands on one at the range.
I dislike striker fired. I started to think you don’t like DA/SA. Glad to see you listed the P-07. I never had striker fired in the military and just haven’t liked them much since. Maybe I’m getting old.
You should check out the LTT Barretta PX4 Storm with the trigger job. Best shooting pistol I have ever used
I've been loving these list videos. It would also be great to hear what the missus has to say about these firearms, as well. It's hard to get an opinion from a lady who has as much hands-on time with the guns as her. Keep up the great work y'all!
“Usually if you get a girl that goes both ways and still sucks that’s a good thing” lmao. Love when you sneak those in there😂😂
I'm really digging the beretta apx a1 with burris fastfire 3 red dot $530 with a $100 rebate. $430 full size 9mm red dot included front serrations and rail. Anyway, great list, I really enjoy the videos.
Even better, Cabela’s had it for $499, so $399 after the rebate.
@@MarkD.-wb3ygThey can be found for even less than $499. When you consider the price plus all the awesome features, and the great ergos and trigger, imo, it's the #1 best value in guns, and one of the best overall guns at any price
Love my shield plus. The fact you can put 15rd mags in it is just another bonus
yessss
Always feels good when you see a few of your firearms make these list. I love my Shield Plus, Walther PDP and Hellcat Pro. I don't carry the PDP as much because of the size but it is probably my favorite to shoot. All 15-17 round mags as well.. I carry the Plus the most
My full size PDP is winter carry (hoodies are great) but I swap from a soon to be retired SR40C and a Hellcat in the summer months. Considering getting the smaller PDP to carry at all times
@@Protopioushow do you retire them?
i truly believe cz has some of the best firearms, from the low end to the high end
glad to see the PDP on here, I love the fact that it's compact AND OR right out of the box, I plan on getting the 43 cal paintball version of that or the HK VP9
I couldn't agree with you more... before I moved to Shield 45 and Shield 40... I carried Shield Plus exclusively... I will be adding the CSX to my rotation soon, as my favorite EDC is my 1911 SC E Series... I just love 1911 platform and CSX is 1911ish, so I really dig it.
CSX… good on the drawing board, horrible in practice. Don’t do it.
@@MarkD.-wb3yg hmmm... I found it to be a great shooter... recoil impulse similar to Shield Plus, but slightly different. Many competitive shooters mistake the trigger safety reset for actual trigger reset. But the thing to remember is that it is a self defense gun, not a competition gun.
If you want a hammer fired 1911 style pistol, with twice the capacity of the competing SIG and Kimber... CSX is it. I would honestly recommend trying it at a range before you write it off.
I started carrying a Shield + PC this year. It replaced my 365 xl. I traded my Marlin 30-30 for it and since I don't hunt anymore I couldn't be happier. S&W MP 2.0's are a big improvement over the 1.0's. Good video as usual. Looking forward to guns under $750.
Would also be nice to see his 1k+ review of the m&p shield plus PC he showed off a year ago and promised to do a review on
Shield 4 life
I have like 4 guns off this list. I loved each one and now I’m feeling really good about my purchases 😂
Very good list, I'm thinking of finally taking the plunge and getting a pistol for defense.
Beretta APX A1 gets my vote. Beyond stellar pistol for $399. Head and shoulders above some of its competitors.
Flared mag wells
Easy grip mags
Ambidextrous
Optics ready
Swappable sights
Cold forged barrel
Fantastic ergos
Good trigger
Accurate
30k+ round recoil spring
Modular
RELIABLE
Love mine!
I absolutely LOVE my PDP.
Walther PDP Fullsize is my favorite pistol to shoot... it's my home defense setup with light and optic.... soooo good
As usual, great job! I've been looking into both the Walther and CZ. Maybe, since a lot of these "top ten" videos cover typical conceal carry, you could do similar for rimfire. Many people don't give rimfire enough credit, but I think they're a blast. After all, shooting isn't always about self-defense, it's about having fun too.
Im a sucker for anything 22lr. 😂
Get a P10C. Or if you have a little more the PDP 4 inch is a crazy good pistol.
PDP
@@Mittn I agree. Love both of mine. Also have the PDP F.
@@toynaziyou like the female grip on the PDPf?
Well I bought the PDP for 450(+30 for ffl transfer) before there were any reviews on it at launch. I love it. Unpopular opinion here in the states, but I wish they a a paddle mag drop like the one ppq and my vp9 does. Good gun though
I am so jealous at the prices you guys can buy guns at….
Some of the guns on this list is way more than double in price in our market.
A whole bunch of great guns on your list again.
Look online prices are not bad and some offer free shipping 🙏🙏
2nd Franks comment. Look a gun deals online. Lots of vendors on there. Got my pdp 4inch for $518 S&H
PDP is a great gun. Price point is baffling for what you get, but no complaints. I carry a 365 and another one that is a solid value.
Another great review! Absolutely love my M&p 2.0 / 3.6 compact and my shield plus definitely quality guns for the price!
I love my Canik TP9 Elite SC with the MeCanik MO1 red dot, a fabulous Canik Red Dot. People should know Canik makes great optics of their own.
Mine comes in today 🎉
I was looking at the43X but the IWI Masada Slim fit my hand better, and it was also cheaper with more round capacity. I never really liked the grip angle of the Glock and I have a P365 but the grip was just too short. I also have the Canik TP9 Elite XC, it's ok, and I have the Beretta APX (not the A1) and I really like it for my winter carry. 17 rnd capacity with 21 rnd back up mags and it shoots freaking awesome!
Like he mentioned in the video, if you want a longer grip for the 365 you can just buy a chassis that since it has the fire control unit.
I just competed in my first USPSA competition with my full size Walther PDP with 4.5" barrel and Holosun 507c x2 and did what I would consider very well.
My personal EDC is the p365 with the 12rd magazine. My stepdad has a few carry pistols and this one felt perfect in my hands. I did upgrade the spring from magguts to make it a 14. I do prefer the p365 grip with a pinky extension over the p365xl grip, I do believe they are the same length.
Plus I got it for free as a 21st birthday present 😂 i got his and he used that as an excuse to buy the xmacro.
If you don't mind me asking, do you have a good relationship with your stepdad? I just became one and I've been interested in understanding how children have experienced it. Mine is just two now, I cut his umbilical cord 😅.
I also carry a 365 with 12rd extension. For such a tiny pistol it’s dead on accurate out to 20yds for me. Grip angle makes it point extremely well and feels natural. I gave it the nickname Mighty Mouse
I am a new Gun Owner, and I decided to buy the M&P Shield Plus w/ night sights and optic ready. Really glad it’s one of the best guns in the market right now especially being number 1 on this video!
You mentioned the Hellcat pro. But you didn’t mention the Hellcat sub. It has 13+1 mags, comes with four mags(2 13 and 2 10 round), and is sub $500. As a guy who likes S&W I honestly think the Hellcat performs equal to and is a better deal than the S&W. I think it feels better in the hand and fires great out of the box with or without optics. In hundreds of rounds it has never misfired in any way for me. I feel like people are missing out on a great small gun.
I just bought a Canik TP9SF Elite for $349 online at Classic Firearms. Paid $30 for the transfer fee so pit the door at under $400. Came with a decent holster, 2 15+1 round magazines, cleaning kit, interchangeable backstraps, and like you said hands down best stock trigger in the game. Took it to the range the day after and it took me 2 mags to get the smooth crisp trigger down because for years i carried an XD Mod 2 Subcompact which has a not so great trigger. Not to mention its extremely heavy.
Excellent choices! Disappointed to not see the Beretta APX A1 on here. Awesome pistol that's modular, optics ready, with great ergos, trigger, and sights with a street price below $450
Shield Plus is absolutely killing it! 10 and 13 round mags out the box, and they sell S&W produced 15rd mags with the extension cover that’s firmly attached to the mag, which gives it the largest grip on a micro pistol that I’m aware of!! Don’t need to worry about printing, then use the 15rd. Worried just a tiny bit about printing, use the 13rd. Worried about printing, use the 10rd! Bought one of these the first week they were on shelves, and it has pretty much replaced ALL my carry guns!!
Thanks for this review, and happy to see my EDC listed as #1. You can also use the 15 rounds magazine from the Equalizer with your Shield Plus 9 and have better grip and more capacity
The SC Canik is the first hand gun I bought and I love it❤❤❤
Absolutely love my P07. Great pistol
I just got a Canik METE MC9 from Family Firearms for $377.95 I have stayed away from "micro" 9's until now. The MC9 is the smallest 9mm I have tried with my large hands its hard to find any that I liked the grip of. The MC9 uses Canick standard doublestack mags of its full size brothers. (Not wierd proprietary 1 1/2 stack "micro" mags like many do) It comes with a 12 and a 15 rd. The trigger is amazing for its small size in a poly frame handgun. It comes with tons of accessories in a hard case. I just picked up a Holosun for it this week.
You should try the p365 with the Wilson module. It went from good to perfect for me. The module design melts into your hand.
Looks sexier too but unfortunately the texture on the grip digs into my skin.
Love the way you break it down. I definitely learn something new when I watch your videos. Thanks brother
The pdp is a very nice gun. Very accurate nice trigger. I love the one I bought for my wife. It has the expensive holosun on it and it’s just an easy transition from iron sights for people new to red dots. I everyday carry something smaller or I’d I have one as well. My winter time carry is my custom 19x with the rmr and the timney trigger. I think this is a great list for sure. One gun I haven’t ever had a chance to shoot is the m&p.
Did you get the 19X milled for the optics? I have never seen a 19X that was optics ready, only the 19.
@@ahnubis_OG yes I had it milled
@@ahnubis_OG like 200 bucks and this guy does a phenomenal job rmr cut perfect
That's the thing I don't like about Glocks. First thing Id want to do is get a better trigger but I have a strict policy about modifications on carry/duty guns. Then having to pay $200+ to have the slide milled, now your into a $1k Glock, just my opinion though.
@@Protopious I only did it because the color. All my other glocks are stock. I am going to do some stippling myself and just have one really cool Glock. I will probably sell it after while. I just Iike guns and changing them. It’s my hobby
My first purchase, I totally had no idea what I was doing. I brought my buddy with me, but he didn't offer any guidance really. I walked around the damn shop for an hour plus. I kept hearing from different people (I called around a bit before) that Canik is is blowing up the gun game. I guess that stuck in my head. I asked if they had the TP9 and sadly they did not, but, they had a Mete SFT. it was big, beautiful, and just stood out (that's what she said). Now a year later, although I've fell completely in love with it, I'm looking for a micro to carry ALL the time. Shield is looking good. Glock 26 runner up?
Great video. Having shot most of these guns, I totally agree with your list. I own both the Shield plus (my EDC) and recently picked up the Walther PDP-F 3.5 which is just an amazing gun. It's a bit large to be my EDC, but more comfortable and more accurate to shoot than my Shield Plus (which I love). The only personal issue I have with your list is that there is no way I can find the PDP for under $500, as they are going for around $665 - $680 in my area and what I found online. I guess you are lucky with those prices in your area Thanks!
CZ-USA still imports the P-07/09 in 9mm. The P-07 in .40 was discontinued a while back. I have both the P-07 and 09. Incredibly accurate and reliable.
Paid 650$ for my PDP Compact. Love how it feels but the extractor broke within 200 rounds. Walther warranty was amazing and took care of it within a reasonable amount of time.
A Walther that had problems at the 200 round count? Impossible! - Walther fan boys
Honest Outlaw is WAY off. The PDP is $650 every day.
@@9770G Shit happens. I had about 150-200 rounds roughly when that happened.
Every gun company can drop a lemon.
@@davidgaines8607 yep. Just sharing my experience with my PDP I bought in April and it happened in May.
