Shadow 2 is 100% my favorite when you factor in the price you can not beat it for the price plus like ive saud before if you run out of ammo its so heavy now you have a hammer
Ha! Great points all around.
Born to run indeed!
I have the SIG Legion and it runs like a sewing machine.
Fast, smooth and threads every round
Better than a Glock.
Staccato is soooo expensive. And as a man who fantasizes about winning the lottery without actually ever playing it.. i want it
Depending on what size you consider full size, the hk p30 or the arex rex zero 1 are flawless
If I were to only be able to have one and stay with one it'll be the P226 Legion but my heart goes to the Beretta 92X.
Beretta is a thing of beauty
To not consider the m&p2.0 full size performance center, is a mistake
Try Langdon’s Beretta PX4, it’s awesome. Shoots like a comped gun
I’m a former police officer myself and I too wasn’t a fan of the Beretta 92 pistols until I found and purchased Wilson Combat’s Beretta 92G Brigadier Tactical. It has a FANTASTIC DA/SA trigger and it’s spot on when it comes to accuracy. It and my Tanfoglio Defiant Stock Master in 10mm have the best trigger and accuracy of all the pistols in my collection. Though I will also admit that my HK P30L with a trigger job, is very good as well.
I love Cz and Beretta!!! Beretta was my first and love that thing, have cz now also...gun is amazing out the box
Love my M9
I love full size guns but just not in 9mm. I got a pdp but that steel frame one is smooth
I am just not into steel frame striker pews. Nothing wrong with them, but for me, I prefer da/sa pews in steel...actually da/sa, I'll take them any way...steel, aluminum, or polymer. Striker fired...polymer and/or aluminum at most. Walther rocks imo.
You forgot Bul Armory . Great list .
Wheres the CZ P10F or M&P 2.0 5 inch? Best looking from the ones you guys have is the Shadow by far and looks flatter than the Sig Legion with the comp.
I love my m&p's
Slapping that trigger!
100% what I was thinking
Great list you chose and love the comedy with it !
Thank you!
Excellent list! I want them all
All great guns. I have owned or shot them all but the Shadow 2 is my pick. I did add some Cajun parts for a better trigger pull.
Mine.
1. TTI JW4 Pit Viper (overall)
2. Staccato XC (most accurate)
3. Sig XTEN (personal fav)
4. Canik SFX Rival-S (best value)
5. FN 510 Tactical (best tactical)
All great but i like my shadow 2 and i like to stick with it
Can you do a 365 legion vs full sized 9mm?
Great pistols all of them. I do have a couple full sized pistols that basically go from night stand to the range. Best home defense option but probably not ideal for EDC use.
We've got a buddy that EDCs his Staccato P. He's a big dude, but I'm always impressed with lugging around that much iron.
@@pewpewtactical
Must be the Chinese same guy I know by the name Hung Lo. 😂
First off I'm not a CZ fan boi, but the Shadow 2 is one of the best shooters out there. I have sold more CZ's than I own but I can't wait to try out the Shadow 2 compact.
cz shadow 2 and tso ts2 are the best
Canik TP9SFX or Rival series is up there for me
Factual statement. Folks hate on Canik because where it’s made. The rival can easily out shoot any of these pistols mentioned in this video.
For the prices of these guns , why not get an M&P 2.0 metal Spec Series ? Still would be one of the cheapest and I believe would hang with them big boys.
I own a Grand Power and an Arex Alpha full-size and I still gotta buy more from other brands, though.
Funny I was just looking at full sized pistol and your video showed up!
Must be a sign from the universe to snag one NOW!! 🫡
The universe? Dang, I was thinking it was Alexa.
A tricked-out Echelon is a great full-size pistol. Even Taran liked it.
😂 it’s not on this level and I own one
Your channel is going to take off exponentially ! 😊
Sure appreciate you guys being REAL! Thanks…I’ll check some of these out
I love that you know im on my lunch break watching this😂
Outstanding list - Those five are tough to beat IMHO!!!
Thanks, we thought so too. Granted, there are a few we've not tested yet...
A Shadow 2 is $2400 and up in California so I got an SP-01 and had it customized with CGW and CZC parts to be an SP-01 Shadow. Amazing. P-01 for CCW. It’s hard to shoot a Glock after.
Thanks for the video. Great list.
The 226 being the only aluminum framed gun on here says a lot about how it shoots and runs.
Quite sad that there was never a 226X5 Allround (DA/SA) made. There were a handful of 226 LDCs but that German mastershop original 226 x5 line was a thing of beauty, shot amazing too. The standard sig srt resets the shortest too when paired with the aftermarket triggers like those on the legions. And that’s a DA/SA. Tuned, you’d even get to remove SA pretravel.
Hell of a platform where it’s reliability often outshines it’s shoot-ability in that the latter often gets overlooked despite the great competition level performance and potential.
Other than a revolver, I own all compact or subcompacts for carrying. The P229 is, IMO, not very pretty, but shoots extremely well. It really is, along with big brother P226, about everything one can ask for in design and shootability.
Personally, I despise 9mm because I don't believe the industry hype about some Magic Technology for ONLY 9mm. Standard 9mm ammo is weak, and paying $1.25+ per round for ammo that is adequate is stupid.
So I prefer 357 SIG, 45acp, and 357 Magnum.
I told you all that to ask this. Has anyone got experience with a Beretta PX-4 compact or full size to make me believe I should buy one and can get respectable performance with run-of-the-mill 9mm ammo?
@@keithgraham9547 I'm surprised you find the 229 not pretty, not unless this is the one with the legacy slide with half cut serrations. If it looks like a 228, essentially a shorter 226, it's a beaut.
As for magic technology in ammo, I agree with you that it's not only available for 9mm. I just think that the improvement with larger calibers isn't particularly needed when a good 9mm hst will have enough oomph to stop what it hits while still carrying 20rds in a full size gun.
A bud of mine has a px4, neat little pistol, the barrel rotating is quite interesting. Barrel length isn't too short so I'd think its enough to run good 9mm. Though if it's going to be a carry, use Federal HST or similar then call it a day.
@@gob7116 I have a Mk25, but other than the stainless Elite, I don't think the P229 is a "pretty" gun.
For some reason, around 40 years ago, manufacturers mostly stopped making firearms that were also beautiful pieces of manufacturing and art. I had a Browning Lever Rifle, greatly regret selling it, that was beautiful and a great rifle.
Some revolvers today are gorgeous, mostly reproductions of the classics. I've had an S&W Model 27 for 50 years, just beautiful piece of work.
Have you ever read or seen someone explain exactly how this new "9mm bullet" technology works?
I've found ONE guy who claims he knows, but didn't explain it. But he did say "...it only works with 9mm bullets..." Not 380, 38 Special, 357 SIG, 357 Magnum, or anything else.
Sounds like be to me.
I've done my own 9mm test, using three different loads of run of the mill ammo, in a compact pistol (a typical carry gun).
Once over 18 yards, I got fliers I couldn't blame on me. At 33 yards, shooting from rest, "groups" were 8', 11", and 12" low. The 8" group had the most variance, some more than 24" low.
I think ordinary 9mm ammo is so underloaded, I have no confidence in it I can't hold as tight groups in 9mm as I do routinely with any other caliber. Real world statistics say 9mm is the worst of all larger calibers, and worse than 22 or 32 by some measures.
I'm thinking about a PX-4 and see if the longer barrel will improve performance enough to have confidence in it.
My Staccato fanboy scanner just went to ultra levels.. the man has no idea how much better that Shadow 2 is
I'm good with my m&p 2.0 metal. Don't think I will ever be in the market for a heavy ass 9mm...🙉
Love that gun.
Lots of great pistols out there these days but it is really hard to argue this list.
The only fault anyone can come up with is price and since that was not an objective these are all amazing choices.
I love this list and the beretta is on my list because I want another HD/range option.
Man, yall sleeping on the VP9L and the Mete SFX Pro by canik.
Good choices, though I must add, that the Canik Rival has more than earnt a place.
Polymer framed Rival yes, can't say the same for the steel frame Rival S though.
The Beretta 92X Performance really is a Renaissance Masterpiece!!
500 Years of Greatness!!🙌🏼❤️💪🏼🇺🇸🇮🇹
I have them all except for the steel PDP. The X5 Legion is one of my favs, it feels good in my large hands and runs like a scalded dog straight for the bullseye. Does not compare to my 2011s, but it shouldn't. A great production gun. A Supergun
If you had to pick 1 to go to war with which would you pick? I'm debating on getting staccato or sig p226 xfive legion. You have both.
Suggestion - mentioning MSRP / street prices would be helpful.
Check out that article! Link is in the description.
Thank you
LOVE IT. Thanks for great quality video and appreciate your selection and info/opinions on them. Appreciate you guys. Good job! ::crowd cheers::
Thanks!
I checked out some of The Bul Armory 2011's on RUclips.They look amazingly good!!
Fun video. My top choices are Beretta Elite LTT, CZ P-09, CZ SP-01, Shadow 2 SAO and P226 Legion SAO.
If you have to pick only one ? Which one it would be?
Love the list.
USP9 expert?
canik rival 100%
Not a dog in the bunch. Pricey but nice pieces
I'll take that Beretta 92XP any day of the week! That thing is a tank and is so easy to do maintenance/field strip! That Beretta is La Ferrari in this group of guns! So sexy 🔥🔥🔥 traded in my CZ Shadow 2 for the Beretta 92XP and never regretted it!
Hand gun with A red dot is just wrong lol i will never get over it lol
You will succumb to the dark side...
Great list. If you could only afford one: The Sig or the CZ? Which one would you buy?
For the price, neither.
@@MrEvilTag
The price is high, and a bit outside of my budget. Any recommendation for a full size DA/SA that is less than a S2, but is as much fun at the range.
@@SomethingCompass what do you consider full size
@@MrEvilTag
A gun usually for duty, home defense, or a range toy. Which is what I am looking for. The 226 can be a carry gun, but is too big for most people to carry all of the time.
@@SomethingCompass arex rex cp
Nice list!
I agree with all these guns but i prefer the regular X5 over the legion
The 320 platform over the 226? Do tell why! I have the 320 X Five, and am considering a 226 X Five Legion. Just gotta save some pop cans...
@@agc7582 I mean the 226 X5 which is a stainless gun without a slide comp whereas the legion version has a slide comp which makes the barrel only 3.9 inches and it's the legion gray color instead of the classic stainless
@@Moderndaycowboy74 Gotcha! I like the stainless look as well.
@@agc7582 I owns both of em, 226 x5 is a SAO only. Hope u can handle like an 1911 ;)
@@andychen6810 Yes, I am aware. I also own a handful of 1911's, so I'm quite familiar with the platform. Thanks for the heads up, though!
Unfortunately, the Hump on the Back of the Shadow 2 really does not fit my hand.
Super popular in the competition scene, and for good reasons. Great trigger, too bad it doesn't work for me.
Get the Shadow 2 compact ( baby Shadow)
@@zamokuhlemsimang7762Looks like it has the same hump though? Also no longer legal in Canada. Thanks Prime Minster.
Beretta forever and always.
CZ close second.
Edit: that 226 is gorgeous lol
No Springfield echelon, no S&W M&P 2.0 metal is sad
Good stuff guys 👍👍
I love you guys but NO colt 😮
I collect and build Sig p220 series, for competition shooting. I mods em from head to toe( trigger, recoil spring, hammer, pull reduction, compensator etc) smooth like butter and fast like Bruce Lee! Kimber 1911’s comes to my 2nd favorite ❤
What kits do you use for trigger, springs, etc? p226 legion is looking like my next purchase
@@slicktickle5359 I get most of my parts from armory craft and Sig Sauer. Just order a 226 X5, then you don’t need much of the mod
If you in the market for a legion you need ( pull reduction spring, SRT slightly curve trigger, Romeo 1 dot, G10 piranha grip, and light recoil spring) then u can throw a Olight on the rail. That should do it!
@@slicktickle5359 go with armory craft n sig sauer factory parts ( or order a 226 X5 it will save u all the hassle )
which pull reduction kit should i go with? looking for a brand@@andychen6810
Dammit ! I got the Shadow 2 for like $1,500 years ago. Coulda waited to get it cheaper
Ahh but think of all the time you've had to enjoy it!
@@pewpewtactical you make a good point, it’s awesome lol and for some reason the trigger on mine matches the blue grip… So I’m thinking maybe I have a discontinued version of it? Cause the CZ website doesn’t have it on their list of products.
Thanks I appreciate your content,and I'm new to your channel,and I'm blessed to have found it... God bless you, and your family.. Matt, KY.
PDP SF, just change out the stock plastic sights with some optics ready Fision tritium sights or Ameriglo or a combination of both. Also Beretta 92 GTS is the 92 we've all been waiting for, I hope they make a GTS Performance or Langdon LTT refines it further.
Walther Special Force💟
Beretta ftw. Samurai edge boys
Hey i have all of them lol even the XI
More More More!!!!
Ya Ya! Keep it coming.
Pew Pew!!!
M&P PC deserves some mention
No 1911? Springfield TRP, Dan Wesson Valor, Achlemy Custom Weaponry Prime, Welson Combat CQB 1911---- why no .45 😄😁😜🤪😇
O.O what? No Glocks??? Just kidding. What do you recommend for a full size duty service weapon?
Gotta love those stickers 🤣🤣🦈
Glock… perfection
The rival and rival S are just as good as walthers the only thing I don’t like about caniks is the slide is way to chunky and heavy. I wish with the new TTI canik they would’ve trimmed a lot off the slide.
The Walther's seem to be more reliable. I don't see PDP's choking, and yet I've watched Canik's choke (I work at one of the largest ranges in my state).
You guys are so charismatic and soft spoken you should be selling health insurance or something 😅 that k you for the video it is very interesting
Shadow❤
cz p10 fs 19 plus 1 hands down and only 6 bones
Nice
Get a canik rival-s for half the price of these
You guys have excellent taste and great sense of humor. Subbed! Keep them coming.
Welcome aboard and thanks!
What, no Yeet Cannon?
Where da sti apeiro
It's strange there is no canik in the list
Love this! Funnny too!
Mk23. Its massive but its the most proven pistol ever made.
If I was getting a full size, I wouldn't even look outside of Beretta. It's just too iconic, and too pretty.
On a tighter budget, I'd probably go for a Canik.
Need that platypus on hear
No canik in the list?
🇺🇸
"A tough package to beat"... What she said. 😏
Cz ill go with and canik but staccato is overrated and over priced, sig has been the same walther is good but eh...
What about smith and Wesson
No 2.0s...
? Tf
the sig barely shoots flatter than a non ported s2 with no gas pedal...and its 2300$
