Top 5 Most Overrated Handguns
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- In this extra-salty episode of TFBTV, James calls out five pistols that he thinks are extremely overrated. Unlike James' Top 5 Most Overrated CCW Pistols video, James calls all of these out by make and model rather than category. A few facts and hints about the list - can you guess the guns?
-One of these guns is a Brazilian revolver.
-Overrated =/= Bad.
-This list contains three overpriced German handguns.
-Two of the German guns are from the same manufacturer.
-This list contains one of the most cloned handguns of all time.
-James likes has owned 4 out of 5 of these guns.
-One of the German guns is only available in a polymer frame.
-Three of these guns are available in 9mm.
-Patrick has done a video about at least one of these guns.
Any guesses before the video starts?

The Taurus Judge is a perfect home defense weapon if you have kids. The reason is that if it has bird shot and you need to use it the likelihood of it penetrating multiple walls is minimal.
About as minimal as the possibility of harming your attacker. *I'm pinning this comment because it's absolutely perfect and completely proves my point.*
TFB TV , if a blast from a Judge doesn't change the mind of your attacker, nothing will. Second, if they continue with the attack a second shot in the chest from a foot away will stop anyone not wearing body armor. I understand your thinking, but in a real world situation a woman weighing 110 lbs trying to swing a shotgun gun around is more dangerous to her than the attacker. A pistol on the other hand isn't.
TFB TV I also keep a Mossberg 590 12 GA Shockwave on my side of the bed.
I'll take "bad ideas" for $1000 please, Alex
For the price of that paper weight you could invest in some armor to put on your kid's walls, I know it sounds ridiculous, but what kid doesn't want to feel like John Connor?

You sir have good taste in movies.
Yeah, I actually agree, lol! My Astra A-100 in 40S&W is 34 oz of steel (when empty!) waiting to make friends with an attacker's brain matter. XD
The USP is so reliable it can feed bullets backwards.
Haha nice reference - James
Timothy Pparkinson My idiot friend accidentally loaded his .45 USP Compact with .40 cal. It cycled 6 rounds before it had a malfunction. It's reliable enough to fire the wrong caliber.
superior deutschland engineering
Gerkan engineering.
My gun can shoot backwards...
I heard the USP in 45acp, can handle 45 Super, any intel on these?
If the CZ75 is too heavy for you. You can borrow my mom's ruger bearcat.
i upgraded my glock 19 trigger to a condom with broken glass
Lol
So there are some worthwhile upgrades for a glock after all.
:)
Just installed it lovely upgrade

Never change James.
Haha thanks man. Couldn't if I tried. - James
I am almost afraid to ask how you know what that feels like.
Almost.
Do NOT want to know what that feels like!!
But he P30 trigger is like melting butter.
Columbus had a cabin boy and he loved him like a brother and ever night in bed to gather they would corn hole each other, that cabin boy that dirty little nipper he lined his ass with broken glass and circumcised the skipper.

checkmate, Glocksuckers
No it's not. Here is the story from three different sites:
controversialtimes.com/military/this-pilot-used-his-45-1911-pistol-to-take-down-a-japanese-plane-while-parachuting/
www.truthorfiction.com/owen-john-baggett-killed-japanese-pilot-mid-air/
www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/gun-nuts/2011/06/best-shot-1911-ever
Moving target at over 100mph at a distance over 100 yard, while moving like a pendulum attached to a parachute, using a handgun...... urban myth, unless it was James Bond.
it was actually a really close pass. and it was coming at him.
And then the Zero pilot jumped out of his plane and cut through that 1911 with his katana.
There's a reason the CZ-75 is labeled
"wonder 9"..,Shoots frickin laser beams..
“Why are people still buying the CZ75? It’s heavy as hell...”
“For you.”
Please feel free to ship all your HK USPs and P7s to me. I'll gladly make the sacrifice.
Alex is not amused by this list, especially the inclusion of the P7PSP.
Yeah, man! Take one for the team!
Dr. Fergus...I"m CIA!
Usp is pretty bad.
You're paying $800 for them USPs, right? Deal.
CZ-75 is overated? Where to start. This is a full size handgun. This isn't a carry piece. This is a range gun. So it being heavy doesn't matter to anyone except guys who do forearm workouts in the gym. Ironically these same guys are the ones who struggle to rack the slide and complain that press checks are too hard when the slide rides inside the frame. BTW, the Sig 226 is the exact same weight and carries one less round. The finish isn't as good... What is this a nail salon? The ejection port is small so it isn't top tier reliability... When has it been unreliable? The reason people love the CZ 75 is the legendary ergos and how easy it is to shoot accurately. Is any other production gun more ergonomic at that price point? Interested to see if anyone can come up with a suggestion
Good response. Using reason without being butthurt. I salute you. - James
Well said. I went from not knowing what they were to buying one a month later, as did two of my friends-one a small female. The CZ 75 SP01 Phantom has/will solve a bit of the weight issue. That said, all handguns have their drawbacks, and I have warned more than one buddy against purchasing the judge.
With that said, I do not buy or keep inaccurate/un-ergonomic or useless firearms. I do not own Glock 9mm's because I cannot shoot them well, but I have a Glock 20 in my future and the chubby compact .45's shoot fine and fit me well.
Well I would argue that if you design a gun that has to be labelled "shooting range gun" it pretty much says "useless gun". It's like saying that constructing a submarine that can be only effectively used in your bathtub is not useless because it CAN be used, only in very specific conditions.
"It isn't a carry piece". The same here, if a gun is only good in your gun closet or on a shooting range- you're doing something wrong.
No Name I carry a pre B CZ75. All stock except for grips and MMC sights. I am 6'7" so the size/weight isn't an issue.
Substitute nightstand gun/ center console gun, and it works. A race gun or clunky range toy that's reliable and easy to shoot well, but impractical for carry is functional if it is something that you grab when you need it rather than wear.
I see the check from Glock cleared.
SAVAGE!
Hoghs Absolutely he is right... Just like people cant handle the truth that the Govt proved the 9mm is the most effective all around pistol caliber there is.
Or the fact Glock is Universally accepted world wide approved for police/military, G19 earned its spot.
I Drink Liberal Tears it's because it's cheap. Gloc is nothing short of the cheapest way to give a small fraction of reliability to the masses.
"The Govt" was the FBI when they decided, after going around the block since the 1986 Miami Shootout, that somehow all their previous research for 30 yrs was wrong and they just had to have 9mm. They went 9mm, like the military for two reasons in the following order: 1) female shooters generally are much worse than males and are generally less excited about learning how to handle larger calibers (and had been struggling at fed LEO academies for 15 yrs with Glock .40cal [adopted 2001], causing much more work for range instructors to qualify them and get their little chicken asses out to the field - where they'd then become Bureau Firearms Instructors problems. The 9s caused them less problems. True story...in my office one day, nosing around in the mail room (no e-mail yet!), there on the table was a bulletin regarding the annual female agents conference in DC listing ten issues raises on that august occasion. I recall near the end of the bulletin was issue 9 or 10, "Recoil Issues." This was just as .40 cal was coming on line and classes at the academy were being issued said caliber. One class of which I was a counselor had ten females and by end of first firearms session, the instructors had taken the 40s back and issued all but one woman 9s instead (9s still being on approved weapons list then); 2) ammo cheaper. I once saw a 40-pp "study," when Bureau dropped pull-ups from its PT test declaring that said exercise had somehow been judged not significant measure of upper body strength (most women trainees couldn't do one upon arrival or graduation 16 weeks later, causing much embarrassment when x number were demanded of males getting same badge, gun and creds). Same "study said push-ups were still good exercise." I hope someone notified USMC and USA Airborne units that they had been wasting their time for a century. I got into a 45 min argument with female class co-counselor about this absurdity and, despite her knowing her way around the gym I must say, defended with a passion this pc conclusion. That's all you need to know. The degree of feminist control, influence in the govt and the nation are far underrated - largely due to how long and successfully such ruinous absurdities have been wrought on our troubled land.
PickelJars ForHillary I've seen you on many conservative video comment sections,nice seeing you again fellow patriot,i'm also a huge fan of weapons like i'm a big huge fan of custom knives & swords in the best high quality steels.
> 1911 is overrated because it's sold billions
> Glock is great because it's sold billions
Sounds great, OP
1911's are great guns for target shooting and competitions. They've out lived their use as a carry gun decades ago. No police department or military issues a 1911 to my knowledge. If you know of one then please let me know. Yet people will tote it as being on par with any polymer pistol on the market. Aside from precision shooting. The 1911 is sub par to modern polymer pistols in every way.
@@cannypedant8877 SEALs and other Special Forces and SWAT team members can usually carry whatever they please so some do in fact carry 1911s still. Are they the official issued gun to any department/teams? No, none that I'm aware of.
A flawed interpretation. Glocks sell well because they're good, not the other way around. No sane person would suggest that good sales make something good. The sales are the effect, not the cause.
@@brentreeve7554
Most special forces guys chose something other than 1911. The Marines, god knows why, tried issuing "new and improved" 1911's for their special forces ppl, just in time for the even bigger push (also in the marines) to issue Glocks. Nobody uses 1911s. The 1911 is a classic example of the ridiculous costliness of trying to incorporate modern reliability into old designs. On a relative scale it's obsolete. If they want 45 auto they can do better than the 1911. The amount of money they had to spend per pistol just to get specs comparable to modern bottom-up designs is ridiculous. Basically every handgun the US military issues is more standard that the 1911, and for good reason.
@@atlas42185 I don’t disagree, except that "Nobody uses 1911s". As I said, there are SOME soldiers and police throughout the world who, for whatever reason, do still choose to use 1911s. In fact I've talked to a few just in the past 6mo. Their department allows them to carry whatever their personal preference is, and it happens to be a 1911. Would I personally ever carry a 1911? Not unless it was my only option, and even then I'd prefer a Commander size or maybe even smaller for the sake of weight savings and you're not usually losing capacity.
The CZ 75 is so overrated that it is the most popular handgun in the national USPSA competition production division.
CZ 75 shadow is awesome, but i prefer the P-09sr
Dude is an idiot. It's the most battle proven handgun on the planet.
I just love how this dude is so sure of himself as he's dropping completely false information. This would also explain why I've never heard of him. Garand Thumb light.
😂😂that’s all the cz is good for , a range gun .
10-4 John!
Yeah he's just not into anything before 1985
Damn, dude. I was butthurt 3 times in one video. Hats off, nicely done.
LOL
I was butthurt when Alex was on the show. Took every chance he could to wrag on the Mosin.
Yeah but Hans Grubber uses a P7.
I rest my case.....
You IMFDB bitch. LOL.
Just keeping' it ethnic.
@Smokeless1167 When I saw the P7 on this list, the first thing I thought of was Die Hard. I had tried talking my (then) new wife into letting me buy a P7M13, but I wound up with a Glock 17.
Rodger P I’ve shot a HK P7 and it’s probably the most accurate 9mm semi-auto I’ve shot.
@@KionKamon I've heard that from everyone I've met who owns one. It's still on my "Someday" list along with the HK Mark 23 and an original Broomhandle Mauser.
jokes on you, i don't have a highschool girlfriend
CZ and HK fanboy here. HK USP, is more accurate with its shitty trigger than the other polymer striker fired guns. Another good thing about the USP, is it really doesn't break. CZ75, the most widely copied handgun in the WORLD, and it is probably the most used competition handgun. My CZs outshoot my M&Ps, Glocks, etc, with a factory trigger. Other than that, yeah, the other 3 guns are super overrated.
Thanks for the video.
Craig Wildfeuer Also CZ75 is also super comfortable to shoot. I shot one last November and I loved how it shot.
Exactly for what they cost they're damn good and can be made better with custom parts.
CZ nailed it so hard with the 75 that it's still relevant 40 years later. The ergos of the 75 are amazing. My P01 is the best shooting gun own - especially with the Cajun reduced power kit (the $50 not the super expensive overhaul).
USP is overrated?!?! What does it do that other pistols don't?
"fired more than 30,000 high pressure +P cartridges and 6,000 proof loads without damage or excessive wear to any major components. Abuse and function-testing of USPs have seen more than 20,000 rounds of .40 S&W fired without a component failure"
Um... Yeah.
And....it's still just a pistol.
jordanaug81 I own both the 320 and G19. While they're both great pistols they're still not a USP.
Agreed. German over-engineering is a beautiful thing.
No gun with a polymer frame is worth $800+, no matter how reliable.
if that were the case we wouldnt get guns like the FNH 57
That p7 bit must have been an attack on Alex C
Haha, this is what people said when I took a shot at it in the overrated CCW vid. No, it's just hard for it to not be interpreted that way since he was so hard up on the P7. I just think it is one of the most overrated handguns of all time. No offense to Alex intended. - James
intended...
TFB TV haha I know just one of those stupid thoughts that crossed my mind
cadlac 059 I don't see the point in comparing its production life to the USP. The USP was designed and produced about a decade later, of course they're still producing it instead of the P7 because the P7 is seriously dated. Kind of a moot point and odd comparison.
MrSmilingDeath meh different strokes for different blokes, better a gun ( p7 In this case) then no gun am I right :D
I agree with most of your guns except the CZ75. I too thought it was a older design that had its time till I started competing and saw how many CZ guns were out at the range and how well they shot, now I have a Shadow 2 and wouldn't give it up for anything. For the money its almost as good as high end 2011's that cost way more.
They're popular in competitive scenes. Not for every day carry self defense. Way better choices
Wow. Just.... unbelieveable. CZ is too heavy. I cant rack the slide.... its 2017. Welcome to generation wuss.
Exactly
Millennials sukkk!!!
compared to what is out there, it is too heavy.
@@madkabal yea but the heft help with the recoil that's the main reason I dont like polymer frames you can get CZ, Jerichios and Baby desert eagles idk about any sigs but ik the sig 320 isnt reliable cuz its striker fired
i dont know man, i fire my 320 every other weekend. I havent had a jam yet, and the US Army just selected it as its next gen pistol in the form of the M17.
See, my top five list of overrated pistols would really piss this guy off.
1. Glock 19
2. Glock 43
3. Glock 23
4. Glock 27
5. Glock 30
Wanna hear my top 10 list?
I've owned glocks. I see the appeal. They're reliable for the most part and aren't overly expensive. And... That's about it. Nothing special at all. Glock fanboys seem to talk about them like they're the best thing to happen to firearms since the discovery of gunpowder.
Most people who love Glocks don't proclaim them as "the best of all handguns." They are simply among the most practical pistols due to price range and combat proven as they are used by the vast majority of law enforcement worldwide. If you gotta spend $300 on a Glock so you can shoot better with it, then that just might mean you're a bad shooter.
Love my glock. I know it’s not the prettiest of all guns, but the stock trigger is good enough and it goes bang every time. That being said, I view guns as tools and nothing more so their functionality is the most important thing to me. God forbid I ever have to use it in a real world situation, I don’t want to have to worry about it working.
agentblammo yeah my g19 gen 4 was ~$560 after tax but it was on sale. Definitely more affordable than other options but not cheap by any means. That being said, it’s well worth the money
Chris White - $560 for a G19 is a steal in my book. Awesome sale and find. I'm also really fond of that particular model of Glock. I live in Southern CA so everything out here is way over-fuckin-priced.
agentblammo yeah was definitely on the lower end. Other places had em for $580 before tax so may not just be CA lol. Field and Stream just had a helluva deal
“I’m not a glock fanboy “ yet in every video disses every gun but glock
He doesn't deny he's a Glock fanboy. He in fact says it in multiple videos that he is.
Repent and accept Glock as your Lord and Savior
Honda civic
Springfield XD is the way to go Glock is ridiculously overpriced and owned by psychopaths like James Yeager.
Ikr I’m honestly kind of tired about hearing how the only good gun is glock I mean there is a few upgraded 1911 pistols are made to counter his problems with them yet he refused to believe them being good which I’m not a boomer I just think he needs to diss glock a lot more while they are some amazing guns they aren’t the best handgun out there I mean didn’t he say the glock 44 was a great gun which it functions good but it was a large disappointment to everyone because they wanted something different not just an official rechamber of a glock pistol and plus he says the glock must be good because armed forces have used it when the 1911 was used for 70 years by our military who after that went to another gun James dislikes the m9 the only gun In that category recall him liking is the new military sig 320 pistol which i can agree the 320 the m9 and the 1911 are all good guns I’d like to have a glock as well but it gets tiring just hearing glock is only good pistol
Why are people still buying the CZ-75? Accuracy. Compare an off-the-shelf Glock 17 to a basic CZ-75. At distance, the CZ will put more rounds in the bulls'eye every time. The CZ runs about $50 more and is well worth it.
You're a fucking moron morty
goowy1256 that’s a pretty stupid statement
Yeah the CZ-75 and USP are both superior pistols out of the box.
I can only say that I start with a G19. Didn't shoot well. Then I changed to a CZ-75 and never looked back
CZ-75 is also extremely reliable
What I took away from this video:
I really want a steam-powered Truck now...
MajesticDemonLord lmao
Gotta prepare for the zombie apocalypse
Look up wood-gasification pick-up trucks in WWII era rural America. Steam power? Psh!
VerumAdPotentia somebody in Sweden drove around the entire country in one of those. I think the problem was it took at least 10 minutes for the thing to heat up.
Kids today are so impatient!
;-D
Why is the Desert Eagle not on this list? It's loved by fanboys who have no idea what they're talking about. It's impractically heavy, is prohibitively expensive (at least compared to other pistols), is extremely loud, has a massive flash, its recoil is insane, and is too big to be practically carried. It's a great gun for the silver screen, but in real life, it's just excessive.
The magnum rounds in the grip magazine mean that you need giant hands just to hold it properly, unlike a magnum revolver. It doesn't hold more rounds than most revolvers either and let's be honest, if you need to reload in a hurry after firing off several rounds of that ammo you're already screwed since you apparently can't hit anything with it. It's also g'damn unreliable, I tried renting it once and had it jam twice over the course of firing only 20 rounds! Even if it was uncleaned that's still unacceptably bad.
I just bought an L5 for kicks. 9 rounds of 357 is fun, it's quite a bit lighter, and recoil is nil. Certainly not a CCW, but fun :)
I carried a desert eagle every work day for 2 years. I'm fat, so I can conceal it comfortably. big loops on pants for a great big belt for a big guy, and you're good to go. I enjoyed shooting my desert eagle. nickle finish, .44 magnum, it was fun. but then I lost weight. Now I'm down to a G17.
I'm a big guy and it feels great in my hand. I have the barrel with the muzzle break so the recoil is very manageable, honestly not much more than my 6" 357 magnum revolver. I very much agree about the costs though, it's very expensive to shoot. Definitely my most costly gun. I'm not able to find 50AE ammo for less than $2 a shot where I live (California), and because I live here I can't really buy ammo online. Yeah it's loud, but that part of the fun of it. It's more of a fun gun than a carry gun, especially with the great risk of overpenetration I would expect from it.
Oh and the reason it jams a lot, for anybody curious, is because the way it is designed you have to manage the recoil properly. If you don't have a proper grip and stance with it, the slide won't go back as far as it's supposed to and it will most likely fail to feed. I had the same issue with it until I learned how to hold it. Basically you need the arm holding it to be locked straight, with the shoulder slanted back and your other shoulder forward with that arm slightly bent with your hand supporting your grip without pressing on the magazine, which could also cause reliability issues because it's a free float magazine. I hope this has taught somebody something they didn't know, and they'll think a bit differently about the Desert Eagle
Why a desert eagle .50 because there’s someone’s threatening your neighbor and they’re behind the fridge door 1/4 of a mile away
USP is not overrated, it is one of the few guns that will do the job when terrorists are planning to assassinate a presidential candidate, your wife and daughter have been targeted, and the people that you work with may be involved in both.
ZOOM...ENHANCE
Kurt Bergh solid 24 reference. I like it.
The best defense of the USP I've ever heard.
#1 reason I love watching RUclips videos: Being called a butthole
Thanks, buddy.
that cz75 was a low blow man not cool
I have a compact, love it.
He's right about the 75B fullsize fullsteel model. Yes it now runs ~600, the "underrated" reputation it got was from the time it cost ~450 and when SAS was still running Hi Powers.
my 75b s got more than 50000 shots on the clock and gets better every day
My cz 75 hi-point have more than 5 million rounds and it's still working perfectly!
Only 5 million? Things barely broken in.
Wait so you don't like the triggers on a stock USP or CZ 75, but a Glock or M&P are better, is that the implication? You lost me, my guy...
The USP trigger really is crap though. I own more than. The double action trigger is easily the second worst DA trigger I've ever felt. The SA is only better than the DA by virtue of not being the DA trigger.
I like the CZ- 75 but this video is way too funny to give it a thumbs down
Yeah lol. I don't agree with the criticism at all on the CZ-75b. I own a ton of handguns and I find it to be an extremely good weapon. When I bring new shooters to the range, they almost always gravitate to that gun even when I have far more expensive options for them to shoot. Regardless, still an amusing video.
Otherwise I agree with the list. I have a PPK because it's pretty but it's a very flawed weapon. I blame Call of Duty for the USP's popularity and the Judge is a ridiculous gun. However, sometimes we all need a little bit of ridiculous in our gun collection.
Reminds me of the popularity gained for that polymer behemoth we call the ACR. Only now after 10 years do they make a second 5.56 barrel option for the "multi-caliber" weapons platform.
If you guys are still interested in the multi-caliber weapon concept, I'd highly recommend checking out the XCR. In my book it's probably the most underrated modern military rifle.
Why people still buy CZ-75 ? Go to the range and shoot one, you'll find your answer, and may never look back
Happy Camper
I’ve shot a 9mm CZ 75 10 years ago and I still geek out when I see one
My second fav. handgun, after the Hi-Power. Sadly, it costs too much to get the HP to stop biting and, like old boy said, I can't get a solid purchase on the slide of the -75.
hi-Power is better anyhow
Agreed. My buddy bought one I shot it at the range with him and fell in love with it I mainly shoot glocks but have a few Smith revolvers
Even just holding one, I was like... Was this made for my hand? I think I may cry it's so beautiful
I got a kick out of this video. I go back a long way with handguns, and remember when most of these guns were introduced. I'm not quite old enough to remember the introduction of the PPK, but was around in its heyday. With the exception of the pointless Judge (for which I have no explanation), each of the guns you chose brought something to the table that was different at the time. Those days have passed, but all these guns were at one time or another the hot ticket.
The CZ-75 had great capacity for the day, with a very sexy grip, and it wasn't generally importable so there was that Soviet mystique. It was like having real Cuban cigars, forbidden therefore desirable. Even Jeff Cooper allowed that if he was ever to be caught dead carrying a 9mm, it would be a CZ-75. All of us "cool kids" carried them cocked and locked, had a better trigger than a Hi-Power (which was the alternative), and more accurate than any other 9mm you could buy at the time. We really kind of dug watching the black paint finish wear off, because that meant we had the actual Iron Curtain product. Back then you had to know somebody to even get magazines. The slide inside frame arrangement really did make them tack-drivers, although a bitch to rack the slide on. When I was young and before Mr. Arthur Ritis became a permanent guest in my life, I never even noticed it. Now I can't even get the slide back on mine, which makes it a nostalgic paperweight. I have no idea why they are so popular today, but that was what it was about in the late 70's. And even today, you could do a lot worse than to be armed with a CZ-75.
The HK P7 was also popular then due to its scarcity. Even though heavy by today's standards, it used to be one of the slimmest 9mm pistols you could buy, and due to the gas system was incredibly soft-shooting. The squeeze cocker gave you as close to a short striker-fired trigger as you could get, nobody else at the time had anything close to it. Combined with the fixed barrel, it was significantly more accurate and faster to shoot than many competitors of the day. So, it was a very easy gun to hit with for just about anyone. The New Jersey State Police issued it because nobody other than a trained Trooper could figure out how to make the damned thing go off, and that feature saved more than one life. In its day, there was nobody who had the bucks who wouldn't kill to own one. After the mid-90's there were better choices out there. I also worked a couple of cases as an expert witness in which guys shot themselves in the ass trying to force the ole "squeeze cocker" into a tight holster with their shirt tails hung against the trigger. The novel cocking system worked in reverse as well. If you held the trigger back and then squeezed the grip, the gun went off.
The HK USP was the shit back in the day, because they were the first polymer framed pistol to challenge the then-new Glock, and to do it with options and a better grip. Everybody takes a decent grip for granted now on a polymer gun, but HK was the first to put something on a plastic pistol that didn't feel like a 2x4. While Gaston was telling the shooting world "It's my way or the highway", if you had the price of admission, HK would sell you a USP in any one of several variants, DA/SA, DAO, SAO, DA/SA you could carry cocked and locked with a safety, ambi controls, AND you could re-configure your pistol yourself or they would do it for you. NOBODY offered anything like that back in 1993 when the USP came out. It was also purpose built for the .40 caliber which was new back then, during a period when Glock was still trying to upscale a very good 9mm pistol to .40 without much luck in the durability department. And when you bought the USP, you got a hard plastic case with the words "In A World Of Compromise, Some Don't" molded right into the lid. You also got the privilege of paying more than $50 each for spare magazines, buying from a company that let you know in no uncertain terms that if you were not a government employed snake-eater, they hated you and didn't need your business. Thus, every wannabe had to have one. And the S&W M&P was a dozen years from being invented.
The PPK is easy to explain, but not in today's terms. All you youngsters can take your pick of pistols today which are objectively better than a PPK in most ways. But for us old guys who were carrying guns decades ago, if you needed something that would actually fit in a pocket with at least a .35 inch bore, you had two choices. An Airweight J-frame which you hoped held enough shots and you hoped you could hit with, or a PPK which you prayed would actually function when called upon, with anything other than ball ammo. Those of us that were smart bought the gun in .32 ACP which worked a lot better, and practiced enough until we could choose which eye we were going to shoot you in. By today's standards, the PPK IS vastly over-rated, but until Justin Moon invented the Kahr in 1995, it was the best we could do in a pocket auto.
So I pretty much agree with you about the pistols you selected being over-rated, by the standards of today. With the exception of that King Turd known as the Judge, I know why so many people liked the others. And I know that for most of them, if I had spare cash, I'd buy them again, just because back in the day, they were cool, and connect me to some pretty decent memories.
Wow, awesome comment. Thanks, Tom - James
Thanks. I feel like if you are going to take the time to make high quality, fun, and informative videos for me to watch for free, the least I can do is try to make an intelligent comment every now and again. Keep up the good work!
Greatly appreciated Tom! Also I love the vids James! Keep them coming don't let the haters and fan boys bring you down.
Tom Crawford I tip my hat to you sir for penning that exceptionally good comment.
Andy47357..and I hope you take time to do that. In some ways that will be easier with online buying resources we have today, and some credible RUclips channels that provide good information, so you don't have to buy first to see if you are probably going to like something or not. Then there is the entertainment factor to be had here, like the honest humor James was providing here, which I thought was great.
But in other ways, it is going to be harder. In the "old days" (I got my first handgun in 1972 at age 15, and had an older brother who was into formal police pistol competition, so I was hooked) guns were more expensive relative to our disposable income, so you didn't generally see guys own as many at once as they do now. Our only sources of "gun content" were actual books and gun magazines which were few in number, but places to shoot were not in such short supply, nor was ammunition so expensive. So most of us spent time shooting more, with fewer guns, and many of us got really good, as measured by the standards of the day, which then meant accuracy. Back when I was competing, match grade .22 ammo was about a dollar a box, and my component cost to load match grade .38 Special rounds was $2/50 and .45 as $3.50/50. Today you have a steeper hill to climb financially, and you can easily drop $100 for a single trip to a public range. Hell, my first centerfire revolver, a Smith and Wesson Model 10, only cost me $45 clean and barely used! But that took me a long time to afford as a 16 year old kid who got paid a buck an hour to pull weeds on a farm.
Most of us back then started out pretty young with guns, rather than waiting until we were full grown adults with credit cards to buy our first gun. Economics alone sort of forced us to start with a .22 and work our way up as finances allowed, generally to a .38 (back then, no red-blooded American man shot 9mm, if you did, your friends questioned your sexual orientation, but the surge of "wondernine" pistols of the 80's changed that) and then up to a .45. Then if you were serious, you started reloading so you could afford to keep shooting.
We shot mostly at paper targets. The electronic timer had not yet come into use, which produced a bunch of shooters today who are blindingly fast at close range, but who can't seem to hit a bull in the ass beyond bad breath range, because they focus on meaningless tenths of a second instead of accuracy. Now steel targets are all the rage, and are great for people who don't care where they hit something, as long as it makes a noise. Back when those of us who reviewed guns for magazine articles had to actually send our stuff to an editor before it was published, we'd have been laughed out of the business for doing an "accuracy test" like you see on RUclips, where some mook shoots his plastic blaster at a big piece of steel at 21 feet or so and pronounces it "accurate". For us, the accuracy discussion BEGAN at 25 yards, but I'll freely admit that most of us shot a lot slower, and looking at a video of us would have been as exciting as watching paint dry. Everybody on RUclips today marvels at the long range accuracy feats of Hikock45 with a pistol. In the days when both of us came up, what he does with a handgun (which is great) out to 80-100 yards was really never considered a big deal for a decent shot. It is considered extraordinary only by the current crop of "Seven yard heroes". I do tip my hat to him for maintaining his level of marksmanship at his age though.
RUclips is a great resource, and there are some really good channels that I look at a lot for facts and figures on new guns, and honest, experienced opinions. But I find myself yelling at my computer screen sometimes when I see some guy who obviously owns fancy video equipment "reviewing" a gun, usually an older one, that he obviously knows nothing about, including the context in which it came to market. That is not at all directed at James and TFB, I'm talking about others. Then the same guy shoots the gun at a distance where he could have thrown a rock and hit the target, and if it makes a noise, he calls it good. Then for good measure, he'll wrap it in an old jock strap and submerge it in a tub full of sand and gravel mixed with baby poop, and act surprised when it won't fire 100%. I'm kidding, but only a little.
So enjoy the old guns, even if they do seem outdated and over-rated now. Get one, and shoot it a lot, at a lot of different distances. Shoot some paper targets as well as steel, and keep score. See how easily (or not) you can hit with it, and how comfortable (or beat up) you feel after a long range session with it. I'm guessing you will find things that it does better than your new-fangled plastic blaster, and some things that it doesn't. But maybe, if it is a classic, you will "get" why people bought it, and why some still do.
Now if you will excuse me, I need to find my M1 Garand. There are some kids outside that I need to yell at to get off my lawn!
CZ 75 is reliable, accurate, and has some of the best ergonomics out there. Mostly using the polymer versions now like the P-07 but the 75 is a classic. Certainly agree with your #1, made the mistake of buying one just because I thought it was cool but all your criticizms are on the money.
I own a Glock 19 and a CZ-75 SP-01, the 75 is the better handgun no contest.
you lost me at the cz75 i mean really the cz75 is amazing.
It's a great range and competition gun.
It's a ok gun
listening to him say that as i look at my po1 omega...... trigger bad? uh no... finish? yeah no... how about build quality? accuracy? amazing to both oh and its the second most carried police handgun worldwide but hey i guess its over rated. this dudes gun views seem to be formulated on fudd like ignorance.
@@cm-pu6tx
AKM''s are probably the most issued military rifle in the world. Yet I don't think anyone who knows about firearms will argue that they are inferior to the AR platform. I like CZ's but they are not as good as glocks for carry use. Most countries that arm their law enforcement with them are countries who belonged to the Warsaw Pact and continue to use them due to cost restraints. You will never hear me say that the CZ-75 is garbage but outside of target shooting, it's not on the level that it's fans portray it to be.
@@cannypedant8877 The biggest gripe I have with the CZ is the size of the slide. It's so small there's barely anything to grab onto. Aside from that, it's a gorgeous pistol and it runs well.
I cant believe he tried to diss the CZ75
Centorea 88 right? He’s crazy!
Yeah that was unecessary
CZ75 with it's low bore axis is a rock solid shooter - doesn't belong on this list.
We need to be honest it's the hipster which is ruining the cz75 but let’s just say it’s introducing new people to guns who maybe wouldn’t be interested in guns. Maybe they need to be introduced to other guns. Personally think the 1911 should be here and glocks. Glock reliability is overrated with not so great ergonomics and the 1911 a full metal low capacity large pistol
Adrian Hering so how many hipsters do you know, and how many own cz lol now vs that to gun addicts in general
1. Glock
2. Glock
3. Glock
4. Glock

#1 most overrated and overpriced, far and away, bar none. Junk masquerading as quality.
Roadkill, you're a lemming idiot, like all glock koolaid drinkers. I've had plenty of them. I thought they were the shit, too, until I had ACTUAL quality.... that's the problems with you dipshits - you've never tried anything else - so you accept junk as quality. Broken guide rods made from the same plastic as chinese made plastic toys breaking on me less than 200 rounds has nothing to do with operator error. The notion that they're quality because LE uses them is laughable... they purposely take a loss leader by offering the lowball deal to LE, because they know that suckers like you will think that that makes them good, and they thus make up their loss with tons of profit on suckers like you. They're ok guns - worth about $300 - a tad less than a Bersa.
Hahaha, yeah! Take that USP, overrated, dated, expensive. Haha, yeah, tell em James. Wait, the CZ? *triggered* How dare you!
Greg Mason wanna like, but it's at 69 so I won't.
You lost me with "I'd love to fill this list with nothing but 1911's ..."
The 1911 is not over-rated. It works.
If it DIDN'T, it sure as heck would not be in continuous production for 108 years and counting.
He said he was sticking to specific makes and models, so not all 1911s, but, basically, all Kimbers, Springfields, Colts, and any another other $1,000+ 1911.
@@svaz2006 He doesn't like 1911's. He made that known in a video with MAC. Then he goes on to contradict himself by praising the Glock even though the 1911 was widely adopted and used by many governments for damn near a century.
I stopped this idiots video at 1:04. Pissed at myself for not turning him off sooner.
If you can only afford a Glock, just say so and be done with it. Have to go clean my EDC, my Kimber CDP lol Ultra Carry.
He’s probably not familiar with it. It cost over a $Grand. Later.
Preach
The guy in the video is a human glock billboard but I have to agree with the 1911 thing...I have never owned a 1911 that functioned properly.
Cz-75 reliability issues? Good joke. Sensitive hands can't handle the slide, eh.
you only have to pull it back one time!
When did that gay wolf guy from twilight start making gun vids?
Lmao damn it man...
Yep, he is quite the douche isn't he?
His douche baginess is made even more apparent by the false information he's putting out.
Lol
@@SomeJustice19k Agreed...the single/double actiion blowback design of the PPK is one of the most copied and loved pistols of all time. Multiple companies all over the world manufacture it for concealed carry, LE, and as a military sidearm. This metrosexual seems to think it should double as a sniper rifle or something.
Agree except the USP. That thing is a tank.
I've owned a lot of handguns in my life. I've bought, sold, and repurchased many models for various reason. I've also learned from my mistakes, which is why I've only owned one Glock...the most overrated handgun IMO.
A Glock 19 was my first pistol, it was my 21st birthday gift from my dad. It's the most overrated gun I can think of. Yeah they're good guns, but glock fan boys replace every single part of the gun and then tell you how great it is. If it's so great, why isn't yours still factory? It's also the most boring gun I've ever shot but it does generally eat anything you put into it. I've fed it steel and aluminum and only had one jam on an aluminum case after putting hundreds of rounds into it.
OK, I hate to say this, but if the CZ 75 on on the list, which has ALSO been adopted as a military and LE service weapon in multiple countries, but at least one Glock is not on the list, then your list isn't worth a darn. You use that logic to keep Glock off the list, and ignore the same logic for the CZ.
where is the Desert eagle in this video!
I was thinking the same thing
Most impractical handgun perhaps.
I guess the Deagle isn't really overrated, since everyone knows it's a ridiculous weapon, other than kid gamers and hollywood armorers.
The (arguably) most American handgun will and can NEVER be overrated!

TFB TV: complains about the trigger on the H&K
Also TFB TV: I’m a glock fanboy.
Me:speaking of triggers that feel like a condom filled with broken glass...
Gonna disagree with you on the CZ 75 there James. Its slide is thin because it rides inside the rails so it gets a bit better accuracy wise. Plus a lot of people still like and prefer all steel pistols (Not everything has to be polymer framed pistol #256) and the ejection port doesn't seem to cause any problems for most of the people who use it. For the popularity, it's used by military and police around the world and its the 2nd most copied pistol design ever behind the 1911. Regarding the finish, the one in the photo just looks like a police trade in that's got a lot of holster wear.
+Paul good comment, thanks for leaving it
Agree on the steel pistols. If its not something youre carrying around all day every day I prefer steel frames. I would actually trade my sig p226 for a cz 75 sp01 anyday. Those czs are the most comfortable pistols for me at least.
2nd most copied pistol design is actually the Makarov, the 1st being the Glock - which has recently surpassed total production numbers of the Mak and continues to spawn endless striker-fired polymer "copies" (P320, M&P, etc.). The 1911 has become maybe 3rd or 4th depending on how you interpret the Hi-Power's tilt-barrel mechanism on other "copies".
CZ75 copies peaked in the 80s and are no longer popular (just CZUB, IWI and some boutique competition brands). Any military and police agency that used them have replaced or are planning to replace them with Glock-types.
As for "all-steel" pistols, it's actually aluminum that people like and what most manufacturers including CZ sell. In fact, CZ has been putting MIM parts on Shadows and other models (nothing wrong with MIM or aluminum, it's just not "all-steel" as gun lore likes to boast).
The cz 75 is not unpopular and hipsters dont shoot czs. The heft is one of my favorite parts about the gun. You get some CZC or CGW upgrades the CZ has one of the nicest triggers out there. If the cz sucks so much how come it has taken the competition scene by storm? Not only that it is one of the most copied pistols out there as well with turkish italian and israeli clones out there. Everything else I agreed with.
Commander Osis the clones are copied off of the hi power which is what the cz75 was copied from...
It's also the most produced handgun on earth, used by more militaries and police than any glock.
I raged when he said cz75. He must have drank a bunch of hateraid before this ep.
Commander Osis someone love their cs as much as I do
Its also the most used handgun in he world by law enforcement NOT the glock
James your right about all the guns on this list but cz knows the flaws in it's classic pistol that's why they have the p09, p07, & p10c. If people keep buying the 75b why stop production kinda like the colt 1911. why stop if it's bring home the bacon.
+ohkaydude19 one of the best comments in this thread. - James
I owned Walther ppk 380 n although it was heavy for it's size n the finish was wearing off n began to rust a lil bit before I reblued the slide, I carried that thing for a while in pocket , jacket n even on the hip with no holster I trust my life with it n Everytime I pulled the trigger it went bang n earned my respect for it Never a single jam or anything n it ate up all ammo n probably one of the most reliable 380s I've seen n owned
Plus has 7+1 capacity .obviously it's older n there's newer choices nowadays. At one point it's all I had for protection n it was one of my favorites over time That thing is a classic n with a lil maintenance n cleaning it's won't let u down. N gets the job done
Loved this. Made me laugh because as a new owner I have the CZ 75 and a PPK/S..... love them both. If you don't take it too seriously it's a fun light hearted video.
The second you brought up CZ. you lost all credibility with me.
Lost all credibility way before that. I wish I could put all 1911's on this list. My friend you are a dumbass.
1911 means it was first made when your granny was taking loads on the corner for 2 bits.
john welch
He lost me literally before I even watched the video. But when the glock fanboy started hating on the 1911 and cz is just gave me another reason to hate this jackass
You are correct John, he lost me about the 1911's, 70's series, great weapon & you can tune the triggers . You know the remark about the cz75????? and fuck Glocks, about 15 yrs ago I bought Glock 36 for ccw, I was not impressed, do you guys remember the toy dart guns that shot the plastic rod w/ sucktion cup on the tip, they had better triggers than The Glock! You should rename your chan. to: Too Fucken Bad just a thought.
Yes he is taking crazy pill lol. Anyone who put CZ on most overrated list is a keyboard warrior who read spec all day and never go to range. Show me another $600 pistol that shoot as flat as CZ. With $300 upgrade, it is the best gun you can buy for under $1k.
Exactly, lost all his cred
I've had a CZ 75 I've shot thousands of rounds through it all Steel cased ammo. Never has failed. I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.
No, he doesn't. Like all glockers, they like them only because they've never tried anything else - because once you do, it's readily apparent how bad glocks suck - the horribly-unnatural grip angle is reason enough to never ever buy or use one, but there are many other flaws. I think he's lying when he says he's had the others.
The Walther .380 PPK is one of the most accurate small handguns I have ever used ( and yes, I sang the James Bond theme song when my friend took it out of his bag).
I second this; I was surprised by how accurate the PPK is. One of my all-time favs to shoot.
Did this boi just talk shit on the CZ-75's trigger?
Makes me think he fired it in DA only..... or he's never fired one.
don't worry he's just a range snob
nah it's that he talks about overrated pistols and he's a glock fanboy
Wat?
Cz is shit.
The USP has a fucking amazing finish on the slide that looks brand new even after years of wear and tare

All the guns he hates because he bought a S&W Shield. Otherwise he hates all of the older guns because his Dad didn’t let him use it. Bitter.
G buy CZ 75 Rami doesn't have a small ejection port it's a solid steel gun it's great I couldn't be more happier. It shoots better than I do.
buy a cz sp-01

What does that means?
This comment needs more likes
So the Glock gets defended for police use, but he admits he'd throw the 1911 under the bus, with its 100+ years of military use... obviously didn't include either on the list, but the fact that it got mentioned at the beginning
aznerok234 yet the CZ 75 is the most common police handgun in the world..
Its 100 years old and still relevant so that has to say something.
Ive switched from my Glock to a USP as a duty gun due to my glock experincing jams and not faring well with the salt water environment im in. Thats my reason.
I think that actually the Glock is most overrated. Yes, it is gun, it shoots but that's it. It is no miracle, does nothing special that other guns can't do. Only reason why so many people use it is perfect marketing. And that's why I think it is most overrated. People think it is much more than it actually is.
My thoughts exactly. And while so many people talk about how wonderful they are, they are the first people who modify the hell out of them to actually make it a good gun.
Trigger is a PIA
Finish on the slide is slippery as a gangbang.
Grip... nuff said
Sights... again, nuff said
And if you don't like one Glock, you're not going to like any Glock.
That's so true. Every Glock guy I've ever seen that has ever bragged about their "best pistol ever" has had damn near every part changed out to make it half decent firearm. It feels like a fucking nerf toy for christ sake.
MrVolodus well if the police departments change to it after using the same gun for decades then it must be good
I never said it is bad gun. But people talk about Glock like it has some special +50% bullet energy modifier. It doesn't. It fires same bullets with same energy as many other guns and is reliable as most other guns.
My friend bought Glock, because it's Glock ... And what was his surprise when it jammed with first magazine in (user error but ...). He looked like kid who was told Santa doesn't exists.
That "magical" aura is why I think Glock is most overrated(but still good!) gun.
Lets just clarify, Glock is a simple effective design.... Possibly overrated with commando glockateers but the G19 earned its spot. Specifically the G19.. And thats alot of Special forces, military's, police, swat, etc etc. Anyone to deny that is too ignorant behind a computer screen.
Let the salt rain
Just not on your guns, unless you like the post-apoc look.
The Watcher You got that right.

Damn, now I have to get rid of my HK P7 *and* my Wes Anderson coffeetable book.
Plus you will probably make money on your P7 sale. Try that with a used Glock.
The CZ 75 is a awesome gun, custom it to hell and back if you want to...parts everywere. Not too expensive either. And its a accurate shooter. Its a old design, proven for many years...it just works...
Just saying...and yea ima 1911 fanboi too...so why im watching this xD
The 75 is just plain fun to shoot. Sorry.
I am so glad you know more than John Moses Browning and that his design could qualify for 5 of the worst guns ever. Are you F'ing kidding me? BTW, Glocks are used in so many places because yes they're very reliable but the reason they are used is because they are CHEAP! I own 2 and love them, after the sight and trigger mods to make them acceptable for carry/ self-defense. A 1911 has been around and very popular for how long? Oh ya, since 1911! Good call Glock Fan Boy!
I'm not a fan of this video, too. But read the title again, it's not about "worst guns", it' about "overrated guns". I don't even think that the 1911 is overrated, because most people see it as what it is: a iconic, classic gun, a piece of history like a Luger pistol or a C96 Broomhandle.
The 1911 is only overrated if you see it as modern handgun fit for service with LE and the military or suited as an self-defense gun. I f you are thinking that, you are at least 50 years behind and then you're overrating the 1911.
@@f.h.9606 Please. The only reason the 1911 started to fall behind is due to the price of manufacturing an all-steel weapon compared to injection molded plastic. There's nothing "out-of-date" when it comes to the 1911. It still has all the features that any modern pistol has, including various calibers and single-stack, double-stack models. Name one technological edge that a Glock, or any other modern day pistol has in comparison to modern 1911s.
Umm, maybe the reason that your fancy ass WW1-era boomer gun is so popular is a buncha competition shooters and history buffs, also some fudds thinking that they know better.
Let's face it dude, most people buy 1911 nowadays for:
- wallhanger purposes
- range days
- IPSC and BUG matches
Oh also, your stupid all steel 40-ounce flail was so good that US Army immediately dropped it in the favor of M9. Even though the fact that a well-tuned M9 will run circles around any well-tuned 1911.
You have to carry this b*tch in single stack since double stack 1911s just make no sense in terms of geometry of EDC, and the extra weight on the gun. And guess what happens when you carry a single stack? You're barely 2 rounds up a revolver, probably twice as heavy as a Model 327, shooting a cartridge that doesn't outdo a 9mm +P+ round. All so you can have your oh-so-important 2lbs trigger pull. Oh, and, let's not forget, you probably carry this because you want to carry a Chinese finger trap of a safety contraption instead of a real gun.
Let me gently remind you that in real life combat situations nobody cares if you can nail a person's eyeballs from 50 yards with your 3000 dollar custom piece of junk. You can be as dead accurate as you like with a pistol, it won't change the fact that you overpaid for the function you can cover with a Glock.
If you really want a light trigger pull, get a Model 327 and practice your single action trigger pulls. At least that way you get 8 rounds of .357 Magnum instead of 8 rounds of .45ACP.
@@MrCooper89 umm, ability to be a double-stack pistol without becoming a geometrical hassle to carry? With a double stack 1911 you'll print harder than a Glock, which isn't good for concealed carry to begin with.
Or maybe being able to go bang without having to mess with two safeties and a hammer? Your 3lbs trigger pull isn't worth wasting time f*cking around with the controls of the gun.
Or maybe being ultralight compared to a lot of pistols out there? A duty sized Glock clocks at 25 ounces, your 1911 weighs 40 ounces unloaded.
If you're hell bent on a hammer fired all steel pistol, just get the Beretta 92 or P226. At least be realistic.
The P7 is a pretty decent gun, especially the M13 variant.
The cocking lever has actually saved lives, in which bad guys have taken the gun from an officer and then not known how to shoot it.
The fixed barrel also makes it more accurate than the Glock, the USP, the 1911, and other Browning tilting-barrel type of pistols.
These guns have a purpose, and the 1911 and Glocks are tools. The P7 wanted to be a more intuitive firearm to use that wasn't another tilting barrel design. The USP was a P38 replacement, designed for .40 S&W and chambered in 9mm so it would be safer and more durable. And the CZ75 is a great 9mm in all regards. The Taurus is a fun gun, and you can't be as classy as a PPK. They are great guns. And they earned their reputation.
I mean sure, but they really fucked up with the squeeze cocker and the fact that it's shorter barreled than any of the pistols you just compared it to.
If P7 was to be a target pistol and released with a longer barrel and without the squeeze cocker, it'd be a very good idea, it'd essentially be Laugo Alien of 1972.
If it was supposed to be a combat pistol, HK really should have made it hammer-fired without that squeeze cocker again, and maybe with a double stack magazine. Being in a combat situation, having to put 15lbs on a lever in a pistol grip so your pistol can work is just plain stupid.
@@taitonaito Nah, the squeeze cocker is a nice feature. It doesn't take much strength to keep it depressed as you might think going off that number, and everyone that I've seen use one never complain about it. Usually it's price or availability!
Wouldn't call it a combat handgun, definitely more skewed towards civillian and law enforcement than anything else.
Why can't we just use the Tarus judge as a fun gun, as impractical as it may be it is pretty cool
I agree. The guy admits he's never fired a Judge. I'm a diehard S&W wheel gun guy & I love the way my "Public Defender" shoots & feels in the hand. Strictly as a .45 long colt pistol, it's superb.
I had s Taurus raging bull and that gun convinced me never to bug Taurus again. Could not get customer service at all, and when thd cylinder started jamming that when I got rid of it.
I don't know have you seen .410 pdx1 what about shooting slugs or .45 long colt through it? It's as effective as any other mid caliber revolver
I agree that it is a fun gun. It is fun. It's a hoot. However, people that think it is serious ... married their cousin.
416loren explain why it isn't serious please
now we know the real reason Alex left, James hating on the P7.
people are still comparing modern guns to a pistol that was designed in the 19th century, just saying, and i guarantee the 1911 will still be a prominent handgun well into the mid 21st century
20th century?
@Marcos Pedroza The 20th Century started in 1901. The 21st Century started in 2001. The 1911 will no doubt still be important in 2050.
@@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies Not my point, the final product adopted by the US Forces was designed in the 20th century not the 19th century
My bad. Mea Culpa.
@@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies Don't sweat it man, I'm glad I was able to clarify and that you were able to know what I was saying. Thanks for being courteous about it
just bought a CZ-75 bd in 9mm Luger and I wouldn't go any other way
You had me until you trashed the Walther PPK. I love my 1934 PPK. I have small hands, and it fits perfectly. It is smooth shooting and accurate. It does prefer certain brands of ammo but highly reliable with them. It was a leading edge design of its day and used by police and intelligence agencies around the world. Using your logic and criteria you could also trash the Colt SAA 45. Get a sense of history and gun innovation. The PPK is a classic.
Yup. I love shooting Walther guns.
Right
I'll take my glock with 17rounds.
Get out if here with your classic bullshit. Flintlocks are classic. How about you go hunt with that!
"leading edge"... too bad you didn't say "cutting edge", what a missed pun opportunity!
My PPK/S eats any ammo I put through it without complaint. Do I have a lemon or something? I've always heard of them being picky. Or maybe mine just loves crap ball ammo...
James is being a savage today I see...
Daniel Bray An a-hole.
Why would i get a Judge if i could? Cool factor. "I have a revolver that fires shotgun shells"
Olli Lehtonen that's seriously the only reason i bought one
Olli Lehtonen
Poser factor! !
Because sawed off shotguns are illegal
My CZ-75 SP-01 tactical is my favorite gun I own.
#CZLIFE My SP-01 TACTICAL is my full-time carry gun. The weight helps to mitigate recoil and is not an issue for me because I'm in a wheelchair. Plus I don't really need to carry extra mags because 1 in the pipe and 19 in the magazine will typically do the job. However, I do typically carry 2 extra mags which puts me having a total of 57 rounds at my disposal. Gee, I would think that makes my CZ 75 SP-01 tactical very much under rated by certain glock fanboys.
Wheelchair Warrior That’s part of the reason for why I carry the handgun that I do. I carry a Ruger SR-9. 17+1 came with 2 mags for a total of 35 rounds. I carry the weapon loaded + 4 extra mags so that’s a total of 86 rounds. It’s extremely accurate and operates beautifully in all kinds of adverse conditions.
haha Now that being said I don't carry that everyday. I only carry my springfield 911+1 with an extra mag, giving me a total of 14 rds of 380 ACP on me at all times lol really just meant for me to be able to get to my car to deploy something better.
MannElite amen!
Guns are to men what handbags are to women
Fabian Scharf true true
At least guns serve a purpose
refusemyname purses uh. They carry things you know. A woman will use her purse for a real reason a million more times then you'll use your weapon. Your just hating on women for no reason.
Feminist bitch
Smokeless1167 just stating facts man.
He outed himself with the coffee table book.
I read a story at HKPRO.com , A chat with with an HK Armorer . Long story short , it was about a USP that had a round count of 297,000 . Good enough for me .
75B seriously? Understand why he didnt bash P10C; its humiliating Glock fan boys everywhere so guess it makes sense to go after another CZ product instead. Questioning its reliablity proves he's never owned one. Sigs nitron finish is on $1000 models so what is he expecting on a CZ $540 model. Slide to frame fit is awesome but if you're used to the way a Glock slide rattles on the frame straight outta the box I can see where he's confused. The out of the box trigger on any CZ product blows away any factory trigger Glock ever produced and maybe its the metal sights and trigger that makes the 75B too heavy for his limp wrists to handle. Use two hands to pull it outta the holster James and you'll be fine but the ergonomic design is gonna mess you up and have you actually hitting the center of the target for a change. Stumbled onto this channel by accident but it wont happen again
Here's why I don't like Glocks: They're reliable and good guns (can't deny that); they're just boring and a little too plain for my tastes.
Fair^
I don't carry a Glock for the same reason I don't drive a Toyota Camry.
DiscipleOfSound halujha, some one who understands the reasons!!!!!
Joe Brown this guy really say Glock has a bad trigger? In that case you probably meant to say "all striker-fired guns have bad triggers" and you're one of those 1911, beretta 92, I want my fullsize-steel-only, type of guys
John y I've shot a stock Glock 19 and a stock Sig P320 and i hate the trigger of the Glock. It feels squishy and not that smooth. The P320 was way better.
Not every Striker fired Polymer frame pistol has the same trigger
according to this guy we all should be driving Toyota Camry's
Yep,, That's why I drive an Infiniti Q60S and a Nissan 350Z and
carry a Walther PPK and keep a CZ75 in the car just in case.
Call me crazy.
U could do a lot worse!
WRX and a .44 mag
And if correctly used, it can be more deadly than any handgun.
What the USP does is: Run no matter what, it’s accurate as hell and it’s build of the finest quality
The P7 is just a beast specially for its time
The usp is so reliable is feeds shells backwards
@@dddddd4501 I've done it myself! I couldn't believe what I was seeing!
Yes your taking crazy pills. My CZ85 was tricked out by CZ Customs, great trigger, hits what I point at. Never fails, fits better than any block. CZ Orange is great, next buy will be Accu-Shadow 2.
I love HK P7,USP,Walther PPK and than of course CZ 75.These are some of the best and most iconic guns in the world.
Agree. Classy pistols instead of souless Glocks.
From your part of the world. Sorry Vuc.
That is literally why they are overrated. Doesn't mean they suck, just means people think they are more amazing than they really are.
@Nikola Poiukov Before the wall fell, CZ-75's were so cool and classy, the West copied them.
We gave a Judge 3inch to my brother in law for Christmas 2 years ago and it has been the perfect gun for his needs. We all live in Colorado and he lives in the mountains. He hikes, mountain bikes, and rock climbs in the mountains. He had a kydex holster made for it so he can carry it on his hip or on his pack. It stays out of his way regardless of his activity. He has encountered 4 rattlesnakes & 3 mountain lions and successfully defended himself with the Judge. He could not be happier! It has never experienced a problem and he will not hit the trails/ rocks without it! While you say it is worthless, you are quite incorrect. You just have never had the need or the perspective to actually use one. I would love to see the result of you walking up on a den of rattlesnakes and using your Glock to make it through it... I guess Glock needs to make one for you to think it is an acceptable weapon. I find it odd that you do not talk about it reliability or effectiveness, as you do with every other weapon on the list, you just refer to the entire concept as opposed to any issues with the weapon. Hmmmmm... BTW, you blow a load over Glocks and I persona;;y own 2 but they have the absolute WORST sights in history that are actually sights and a horrible trigger; so yes they are very reliable and effective when you drop another $200 to make them serviceable. Everyone talks ablout how they are perfect guns at a great price but never factor in that you have to add to them to make them "perfect"...
Solid snake used a usp. So there.
also counter-strike
bobcat173 Solid Snake used a MK 23. Similar but *not* the same gun
@@martymcfly3744 in Metal Gear Solid 2, you get the USP after defeating Olga Gurlukovich
At 4.6 thousand dislikes, yeah, I'd say you "caught some heat" haha.
Do they take money away for dislikes? If so Too fucken bad. If so he's goiny to owe U -Tube.
i had a feeling the PPK would be on this list, i would of never guessed the cz75
it's funny how the 1911 and the glock are switched. the 1911 is overrated, but the glock isn't? ...ok...
First let us examine the pistols you see as having value 1. Glock one of the worst triggers made which their is NO excuse for. I remember when the Glock came out and the problems it had. Having to expend 3000 rounds to learn the trigger plus larger than necessary grip diameter. 2. S&W M&P modified Walther P-99 trigger second only to Glock as a bad trigger, or as I call them "lawyer triggers" IMHO. Problem with firing out of battery.Let us look at pistols or revolvers a person should carry and bet there lives on or even own. 1. Is it safe to use and are you safe & responsible handling it? 2. Can you shoot it well and hit the target every time you pull the trigger, not just at 21 feet (self defense range) but at 25 yards or farther? 3. Are you responsible, legal and comfortable carrying the weapon?
+ZX Rider Fair response, thanks man - James
Glock. "Austrian word, English translation- HiPoint."
I love my CZ! your the one who's overrated
ben crosson never had an issue with my CZ75B but sure have with my Glocks, Sig & Springfield but still love them all
The CZ75 not being on par with Glock, S&W, and H&K in terms of reliability is just plain old horse shit.
You're
Never had a single malfunction of any kind with my CZ75. Not any caused by the gun or the ammunition.
CZ sucks? yup this guy is talking out off his ass.
Got pissed with the USP. Got pissed with the CZ-75.Got pissed with the Judge. Got supper pissed with the PPK.
Still liked the video.
+James Trovias hahaha thanks James.
TFB TV I think the judge in long gun configuration, ie Rossi circuit judge, should have been mentioned. As well as the 454 casull types. Their objectively better forms of the same idea. Makes the judge slightly less silly, maybe not so high on the list.. maybe.
James Trovias someone explain how buckshot gets flatten coming out the barrel?
I think if glock had a decent trigger and ergonomics that weren't designed in minecraft, they would actually be shootable.
That's just cause you don't like Glock's. I liked them till one blew up. Now, not so much. They make the chambers sloppy so they will fire anything but they also don't provide much support for the brass, so if the brass goes, it goes out the back and down the mag well, breaking the 1 mm plastic frame along the way and you hand if you don't have gloves on!
