I just bought the Beretta 92x Perf and tried it at the range today. My comment at the end was that "it shoots like butter". Fantastic trigger, the weight helps with accuracy, and it's a beautiful piece of machinery.
The Walther PPQ rides on my hip 16 of the 24 hrs in the day. I’m a big guy, so I have the luxury of carrying a large frame pistol. Of all the pistols I have ever owned, it is clearly my favorite. At around $800 it is just affordable. The pre milled slide for an RMR is icing on the cake. I added a light and made my own holster. Life is good...... God bless the USA!
Fast4SloW 717 I bought mine from sportsman guide. If you are a member, you can make 4 equal payments. They ship the pistol immediately too. Makes it easier to own a more pricey weapon.
Took my Canik TP9sfx out yesterday and was thinking that I couldn't miss. Then today I find out that it achieved "Honorable Mention" status from the Honest Outlaw! Nice! I'll take it.
Ive been very impressed with mine as well... after like 1000rds the trigger got even crisper(or its all in my head lol). the thing is a tack driver tho
@HEMI 5.7 AWD PURSUIT I think it's a bit better than the 1911 to be honest. Better built too, if not mistaken it is defined by an aerospace manufacturer.
As a gunsmith I gotta agree with you on this list. I’d like to see CZ at the top but from my experience with both the 1911 platform and CZ’s you just can’t outshoot the classic. Great job Outlaw.
Mr. Outlaw, another GREAT video. THANK YOU !! I own a Sig 1911 STX and a CZ TSO, and because I don't have a "steady" hand, the excellent single action triggers and outstanding barrels (plus overall fit-n-finish) allow me to actually hit the side of a barn. Please keep up the awesome content, God bless and stay safe.
I really like your reviews. I especially enjoyed this one, having recently acquired a CZ-75 SP01 (safety not tactical-better trigger) and a Springfield Range Officer Elite Champion 1911. While I am not able to own the big $$ guns on your list, having 2 close relatives of your top 2 choices vindicates what I already know. There is no room for compromise when you want an accurate and reliable handgun. Keep up your good work!
11:17 I'm so happy you mentioned the TP9SFx! I just ordered the whiteout version of this pistol the other day and was a little anxious thinking that maybe I should've gone with something else. But since you put it in your honorable mentions list I feel more confident in purchasing it as the first pistol I'll ever own.
I have 1250 rounds through mine without a single issue. The first 800 rounds were with cheap 115g range ammo and it ate the whole time. The only problem I have had was getting holsters made for it when it has attachments. (it comes with an OWB holster). If you don’t already have it, you’ll be happy with your pistol. It’s an absolutely amazing tool for the price.
@@daveintransit7592 Yeah I picked it up yesterday. Didn't end up going with the whiteout version, but I did get the Canik TP9SFX with a Vortex Venom red dot. I've yet to fire it though. I'll be taking it to a range here within another week or two. Can't wait.
The sfx is an AMAZING first gun! Especially with a red dot. I started out with an sfx and upgraded to a shadow 2… I still have, carry, and love the hell out of both of them. Great for competition and carry if you can handle the size
I have several CZs, an Italian Beretta 92FS stainless made in early 90s, those are all my go to guns and all of them are accurate for sure. But about three months ago I was reading about your honorable mention, the Canik TP9SFX and decided to order one. Paid $459 + tax and background check for it. I honestly think it is the most accurate handgun, including my revolvers, etc. ANY HANDGUN I OWN. My friend shot it and he shoots a few times a week on his farm and he was so impressed he had to buy one and he got the one pre mounted with the Vortex red dot and we were banging 8" round steel plate at approximately 70 yards almost every shot just from leaning across the truck hood. Definitely impressed. Will probably end up with a red dot on mine also.
On their first date, the future Mrs. Outlaw asked, "Is that a sniper rifle in your waistband, or are you just happy to see me?" Boy, was she surprised.

I have a Walther PPQ Q5 Match with a RMR on it. I'm shooting dimes now with this guy and I love it. My favorite gun thus far and probably will be for a long time. I agree with your comments on this gun. Keep it up bro.
Hey I was looking at a shop. Can you help me out? I saw a ppq Q5 match for 1600, there’s one for 1400 and one for like 700. Whats with the price difference ??
@@iSurrenderOhGod The more expensive ones are probably the steel frame versions that come out not to long ago, the other is probably the polymer frame. The steel frame makes it more solid and heavier, better for recoil. I have no problems with my polymer one. 700-900 is about correct for a polymer Q5 Match.
I heard about the CZ from a comic book. Friends who shot it say it has better balance and "feels" lighter than comparable guns. I have always wanted a 1911 anyway, so, this makes me even more likely to buy one.
For those who believe "accuracy is in the hands of the shooter", spend a few hours watching 1911 gunsmithing videos or add on top some sniper rifle accuracy mod videos and you'll have a general idea of the core factors that determine a gun's accuracy, as well as some before and after on how a gun get more accurate after some modifications. It goes without saying that the shooter's skills are a factor, but in no way does the pistol's inherent accuracy not part of the equation, especially at a professional level.
Great video as always. I have shot these guns and owned both the P210 (American made) and a custom CZ. The Sig P210 was accurate but I got rid of it because my CZ, the CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Target II, is far superior in every way, and it has the best custom trigger I have ever used--nothing else like it. It is a fine example craftsmanship. I should add that I own a Tanfoglio Witness with only a very little bit of custom work on it, but it shoots accurately, even with standard sites. Some of the Tanfoglio are just amazing. Again, love the video.
I agree...I've used the Beretta 92 for a long time and we both made competitions together...I also used a 1911 Colt and I've shot something at 100 meters and it took down that running target....both the 1911 and 92 are very accurate... am looking forward to have that CZ
I was pleased to see a very practical list. $1000 is not unreasonable to me for a good handgun, so I didn't find any of these examples outrageous in cost. Thanks!
Dan Wesson is CZ. Those 1911s are great, but all 1911s are great and that's what outlaw was saying 1911s in general are the best handguns. I own a CZ-97B and I love it, for a $730 gun its essentially the CZ-75 bigger bore brother and its performs just as well as the 75 for a bigger caliber, but Dan Wessons are great 1911s for the money.
@@bigbrick7278 I have a P10 C but I have been looking to get a DA/SA CZ. I wonder if the CZ-97B can be converted to a .357 sig 🤔@Honest Outlaw what do you think? can it?
@@rafardzrba idk tbh, CZ is one of the lower end guns for the after market especially the 97 model because they aren't high demand and more rare to come across unlike the 75 models. You see more of an aftermarket on striker fired polymer handguns because parts can be made cheap and easy, and alot of guns have similar components to other striker fired guns. Glock and SIG are great examples I know SIG is mainly hammer fired, but they are made of polymer mostly and cheaper guns for the most part and a lot of people own Glocks or SIGs because of the availability of them. Which allows for a big after market
@@bigbrick7278 a agree dan wesson is a good brand of 1911 for the money but the dwx seems a step above the rest. It takes the advantages of the cz and 2011 platform to create a beautiful gun. Seriously can't wait for the dwx
@@zacharyread5303 agreed the dwx looks phenomenal. And you're right taking the advantages of other great company guns is what will make that gun perform very, very well.
I run a modded sfx with viper in USPSA open. Paid $700 1.5yrs ago then lightened the trigger and a few other goodies plus Taylor freelance +4 base pads and magwell. Shoots like a dream want to add CZ P09 and Ruger 1911 target both in 9mm to my collection.
I don’t want to gush but I feel compelled to tell you, if I had to choose only one channel to watch it would be yours! I think about all the people I watch and although I like a lot of them I think there are very few I would hang out with but I would definitely want to hang out with you, on the range or just drinking a beer and talking. Keep the content coming
CZ U.S.A. makes some of the Best arms on the market with a wide Selection. I'm not a owner of one but its definitely as to my attention. Id have to say from all the knowledge I've gained over the years. CZ is top notch an good price points
I can say I am very happy with my Q5, glad you liked it too!! As well it really does feel like having a sniper rifle on your waistband, plus even with the Trijicon RMR it still conceals very well amazingly. Though one must admit to a little envy over the 2011 having readily available 30rnd mags, kept that in-house and run 21rnd mags though i only load 20 in all 3..
Dude, you're a beast! 100+ yards with pistol? Frick'n AWESOME! I usually use 100 yards, for sighting my rifle... Back in 2005 till 2010, I had a 300 yard rifle range and 25 yard pistol range... Most of friends complained about 25 yards being too far? I wish I could have showed them this video back then?!! LOL
1911s are undeniably great, from out of the box to custom. Some of those custom ones specifically for comp or bullseye guns cost an arm and a leg to buy. I bought a CZ-97B and I love it. It's not the cheapest .45, but where I live *cough Commifornia, it's quite remarkable. Out of the 1911s in the price range of the 97B the CZ was a bit longer on the grip, but I was able to hit a better grouping from 25yds with the CZ. It wasnt until I shot a $7,000 1911 custom is when I told myself this is the gun to own. It made my sub-par aim feel like John Wick, I've never shot a better grouping in my life out of multiple mags. Now it makes me want to send my 97 to Cajun works to see if can get my gun and compare it.
No chance. the more there is to do for a trigger, the worse it gets. The only option would be converting it to a SA trigger which doesn't make a lot of sense in that category. DA/SA trigger will not get to SA trigger level. If you got the regular 97B and not the BD with the decocker you already got a slight edge over yet another thing to do for the trigger. I'd love to have a DA/SA pistol with a decocker without any downside of the added mechanism, but there might be one out there. I'd like to know about those. I'd invest in a badass training experience of 4-5 days before dumping so much money on a 1911.
Nope buy a tso. Its all of those things except $7k. More like 2k. But the gun is a far better shot than i am plus i got that same feeling with my tso. Only other time was with a wilson combat 1911.
Have used a variance of each one on the list, and honorable mentions. Unfortunately I grew up shooting 1911's, and that to this day has ruined me. Stellar choices here, all I wouldn't hesitate to purchase.
Glad to see the BHP on the list even only as an honorable mention. Only pistol that I have ever shot a perfect qual score with and I have never bothered to fix the crappy trigger.
I just got to drop a few lines and tell you that I love your Channel it's very informative you're straight to the point and damn you can shoot bro be safe out there
I just got the Shadowy Systems MR920 @$1200 and I am kicking my self 2 days later I saw the Q5 match on sale for $780 @ Classic. Mine is a great gun though.
the cz shadow is a god of gun, I bought one off my buddy i worked with 40,000 rounds through the barrel( was his training comp gun) and it still printed a 2 inch group at 50 yards in a vice
I consider you a very lucky guy as well lol. The 92X and PPQ match are such badass guns. And yes! The 1911 and 2011 are the best! The trigger itself makes it very accurate. My favorite gun of all time
CZ tactical sport is the best for larger hands. I had mine reworked to make it even better. Can't say I've ever fired a more accurate or repeatable pistol.
Good Stuff! P226 RX Legion should have had honorable mention, as a duty weapon that is rather accurate "left thumb break" RUclips video has it ringing steel at 180 yards! Cheers
Went to my local gun range, and for $25 you can demo any gun they have. I went back over and over and had them pick a 9mm. I tried not to focus on the model as I just wanted to find something that felt right. When I left, my son said what was the last gun we fired...wow. I said yup, felt the same way. CZ Shadow 2. Went back and bought one. Cant tell you how many new friends I have made on the range since the purchase.
i got a pair of 1858 remingtons replica's but the guy i got them from was a gunsmith and marksmen shooter and took first place in the state with them against modern pistols and i got them on very good deal from him before he died with converters and extra cylinders and all my friends say the same thing they shoot perfect . the old owner said he did a lot too them totally reworked them real smooth on the action one of the best gun's i have ever shot even better then my colts
@@iSyre Not really. I replaced the already great trigger with a Freedome smith trigger. I did it my self. Nice and easy. Venom red dot site. A more aggressive grip. Its shoots like a dream. Oh and you cant beat the cost.
@dead Chris bounce. Love my SFX. Accurate, great trigger, even better with Freedom Smith. Cons- occasional stove pipes, keeping it clean helps. Front of gun gets pretty hot if shooting a lot of rounds.
Some of them need to wear in a little. I used to have one. They are a very good pistol. I had to buy a Q5 Match to better it and the gap isn't as large as you might think.
If he would just pan the camera over to the right about 30 degrees we could see uncle Henry sitting on a lawn chair hitting a gong after most every shot. 😁
I just picked that one up about 2 months ago and I love it. My only other pistol is a M&P shield and when I get done shooting the X-calibur it makes me wanna sell the little guy
@matus mikoviny howdy partner, here in the USA I know gunprodeals.com aka gunzonedeals.com has at least 4 or 5 different GP models. That sucks to hear about your experience with your pistol. The x-cal I have is the gen 2 mk12 and in the 1200-1500 rounds I have fired through it I have had 0 failures with the pistol. Just a few duds due to the cheapest brass I can find. I sure hope this reliability continues for years to come. I would love to see a review on the k105 🔫🤠
ok this is it, ive been a 1911/2011 guy, but since some of my friends own CZ shadows, i will definitely consider owning a CZ... soon! awesome reviews, great camera work
Great video!! Would love to see a video on how to get better at tightening up those groups. I've been shooting for years but still have a 2-3" group at like 15 yards
I have a 2011 DVU3, a Nighthawk High Power, CZ Acushadow 2, CZ Czeckmate, Cz ST Orange, Wilson Combat EDCX9, And a Sig P210 Target, I am military qualified Expert and NRA qualified Indoor & Outdoor Master, I tend to agree with you in the most part but personally I believe the CZ TS Orange takes 1st place in my runup, then the 2011, CZ acushadow in that order for my preference, for multiclass the CZ Czeckmate is extremely hard to beat. Any way that's my input but you did a great video, hope to see more.
@@catdoctor8393 thanks for the quick reply. I’m still a bit new to this, and I’m stuck in Canada 😫. My plan is to get into competition shooting but I’d like to buy one great gun and hopefully stick with it. Currently all I shoot is the only and first pistol I’ve owned (iwi masada). While it’s a decent pistol for what it’s designed for, I’m looking to move towards advanced shooting. All my research so far has pointed to CZ or 1911. Lastly I have large hands and would like to find something to accommodate that added complexity. Any suggestions? I’m willing to spend up to 3k if needed as I only plan to buy one life long high end pistol...for now 😜
I agree with this list 100%. Those 160 people that have thumbs downed this list, really need to get a life. The only ones I haven't shot on the list are the Pardini and the Phoenix pistols.
I would love to see a top 5 most accurate guns at different price points. Say $250 or possibly $500 increments something to help those of us buying on a fixed budget who want the best we can get. Personally I would love to have brought home my Colt 1911 from the Army. As I was stationed outside the US when they were allowing us to buy them as we exited service, I was not allowed to bring one home on a commercial flight though.
My most accurate that are not Olympic. They fit my hands best and work best for me well past 150yards with constantly baseball sized groups. 1). HK USP Expert.45 with +p+ personal defense rounds. 2). Browning Buckmark Hunter out of the box it drives nails. 3). My 1973 Hi Standard Supermatic Citation Military with 7” fluted bull barrel. Factory original it is insane accurate. 4). My 1950 Colt Woodsman Match Target 2nd series is basically a small rifle like the 3 listed above. 5). My like new used S&W Model 41 Performance Center. It’s super accurate well past 100yards. Honorable mentions are my S&W 17-8 and Ruger Mark 4 Hunter with Target grips and Volquartsen trigger. Great list however I got my own as well, for a hell of a lot less $$$ too. 😉 Love the Mark 23 by the way!! It’s no PSG1, but close.
I just bought the Beretta 92x Perf and tried it at the range today. My comment at the end was that "it shoots like butter". Fantastic trigger, the weight helps with accuracy, and it's a beautiful piece of machinery.
Probably one of my all time Honest Outlaw videos!
I had to re upload this video so sorry for the trouble. Its all good now.
No problem man, we just watch.
I felt bad because i cant like but now i am happy because now i liked the video
Just out of curiosity let’s see put a match grade barrel in a Glock 17 or 34 where would that be on the hierarchy of accuracy

You are by far my favorite and most professional tuber out here! Keep it up brother!
I hope the dan wesson dwx lives up to the hype and finds its way on this list. 🙏
Dan Wesson is CZ. Those 1911s are great, but all 1911s are great and that's what outlaw was saying 1911s in general are the best handguns. I own a CZ-97B and I love it, for a $730 gun its essentially the CZ-75 bigger bore brother and its performs just as well as the 75 for a bigger caliber, but Dan Wessons are great 1911s for the money.
@@bigbrick7278 I have a P10 C but I have been looking to get a DA/SA CZ. I wonder if the CZ-97B can be converted to a .357 sig 🤔@Honest Outlaw what do you think? can it?
@@rafardzrba idk tbh, CZ is one of the lower end guns for the after market especially the 97 model because they aren't high demand and more rare to come across unlike the 75 models. You see more of an aftermarket on striker fired polymer handguns because parts can be made cheap and easy, and alot of guns have similar components to other striker fired guns. Glock and SIG are great examples I know SIG is mainly hammer fired, but they are made of polymer mostly and cheaper guns for the most part and a lot of people own Glocks or SIGs because of the availability of them. Which allows for a big after market
@@bigbrick7278 a agree dan wesson is a good brand of 1911 for the money but the dwx seems a step above the rest. It takes the advantages of the cz and 2011 platform to create a beautiful gun. Seriously can't wait for the dwx
@@zacharyread5303 agreed the dwx looks phenomenal. And you're right taking the advantages of other great company guns is what will make that gun perform very, very well.
Love the accuracy for the $ of the canik TP9SFX, next budget wise would be the Walther Q5 Match!
I run my SFX next to my Walther and they are equally awesome, I lean towards my SFX though.
Love my SFX, heck I love all of my Caniks.
I run a modded sfx with viper in USPSA open. Paid $700 1.5yrs ago then lightened the trigger and a few other goodies plus Taylor freelance +4 base pads and magwell. Shoots like a dream want to add CZ P09 and Ruger 1911 target both in 9mm to my collection.
I saw a BIG difference between the feel of the Q5 SF vs polymer. The SF is phenomenal, the polymer feels too jumpy. Test it out first if you can.
Love my nighthawk colt 70 custom. Breathing on the trigger practically sets it off and its a work of art
I don’t want to gush but I feel compelled to tell you, if I had to choose only one channel to watch it would be yours! I think about all the people I watch and although I like a lot of them I think there are very few I would hang out with but I would definitely want to hang out with you, on the range or just drinking a beer and talking. Keep the content coming
Jim. He’s a married man.
jim yeats funny, I’m aware, I have Kita’s book Smart Move and follow her as well
Chris Meyer I haven’t been living under a rock
Your Right on Bro!! I'm 1911 and 2011 All Day Every Day!!
Love my TSO. Crazy accurate right out of the box even for a fairly new shooter.
CZ U.S.A. makes some of the Best arms on the market with a wide Selection. I'm not a owner of one but its definitely as to my attention. Id have to say from all the knowledge I've gained over the years. CZ is top notch an good price points
that's why i buy only cz
H&K Mk23 is just crazy accurate. It’s actually insane all things considered.
I can say I am very happy with my Q5, glad you liked it too!! As well it really does feel like having a sniper rifle on your waistband, plus even with the Trijicon RMR it still conceals very well amazingly. Though one must admit to a little envy over the 2011 having readily available 30rnd mags, kept that in-house and run 21rnd mags though i only load 20 in all 3..
Dude, you're a beast!
100+ yards with pistol? Frick'n AWESOME!
I usually use 100 yards, for sighting my rifle...
Back in 2005 till 2010, I had a 300 yard rifle range and 25 yard pistol range... Most of friends complained about 25 yards being too far? I wish I could have showed them this video back then?!! LOL
You are one of the best marksman I have seen in my 70yrs!
No doubt!
Had to repost?? Glad it's back
1911s are undeniably great, from out of the box to custom. Some of those custom ones specifically for comp or bullseye guns cost an arm and a leg to buy. I bought a CZ-97B and I love it. It's not the cheapest .45, but where I live *cough Commifornia, it's quite remarkable. Out of the 1911s in the price range of the 97B the CZ was a bit longer on the grip, but I was able to hit a better grouping from 25yds with the CZ. It wasnt until I shot a $7,000 1911 custom is when I told myself this is the gun to own. It made my sub-par aim feel like John Wick, I've never shot a better grouping in my life out of multiple mags. Now it makes me want to send my 97 to Cajun works to see if can get my gun and compare it.
No chance. the more there is to do for a trigger, the worse it gets. The only option would be converting it to a SA trigger which doesn't make a lot of sense in that category. DA/SA trigger will not get to SA trigger level. If you got the regular 97B and not the BD with the decocker you already got a slight edge over yet another thing to do for the trigger. I'd love to have a DA/SA pistol with a decocker without any downside of the added mechanism, but there might be one out there. I'd like to know about those. I'd invest in a badass training experience of 4-5 days before dumping so much money on a 1911.
Nope buy a tso. Its all of those things except $7k. More like 2k. But the gun is a far better shot than i am plus i got that same feeling with my tso. Only other time was with a wilson combat 1911.
Have used a variance of each one on the list, and honorable mentions. Unfortunately I grew up shooting 1911's, and that to this day has ruined me. Stellar choices here, all I wouldn't hesitate to purchase.
Glad to see the BHP on the list even only as an honorable mention. Only pistol that I have ever shot a perfect qual score with and I have never bothered to fix the crappy trigger.
I love the CZ75. They can still be had for a decent price
My CZ75 TO was $2000 with tax, don't tell my wife.
I just got to drop a few lines and tell you that I love your Channel it's very informative you're straight to the point and damn you can shoot bro be safe out there
I have the CZ SP-01 Tactical, my son the Canik Elite. Both are exemplary.
The trigger on the Canik..... Otherworldly
That ting sound never gets old. Sounds like freedom!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have both a P210 US Target and Shadow 2. P210 smokes the CZ and is the most accurate 9mm I have ever fired.
I just got the Shadowy Systems MR920 @$1200 and I am kicking my self 2 days later I saw the Q5 match on sale for $780 @ Classic. Mine is a great gun though.
Those are superbly accurate pistols with the right shooter,I love my checkmate.
I absolutely love my 2011 Staccato C2.
the cz shadow is a god of gun, I bought one off my buddy i worked with 40,000 rounds through the barrel( was his training comp gun) and it still printed a 2 inch group at 50 yards in a vice
Did anything break? How many TRS? Would be nice to know from such a long time usage.
❤️ my Dan Wesson Valor duty treat with a Cylinder & Slide sear/hammer and a little custom work from Dan Wesson.
I consider you a very lucky guy as well lol. The 92X and PPQ match are such badass guns. And yes! The 1911 and 2011 are the best! The trigger itself makes it very accurate. My favorite gun of all time
CZ tactical sport is the best for larger hands. I had mine reworked to make it even better. Can't say I've ever fired a more accurate or repeatable pistol.
Man i totally agree on your experiance, sure could not say better and did intensive compare most of your list !
Love you channel and your presentations
Good Stuff!
P226 RX Legion should have had honorable mention, as a duty weapon that is rather accurate "left thumb break" RUclips video has it ringing steel at 180 yards!
Cheers
Thanks to this channel, I've been able to get a good background on a fair few pistols I was considering for my first competition pistol to train with.
Canik TP9SFX has to be in the conversation.
My list, Springfield Range Officer 1911 9mm and CZ Shadow 2 9mm
Solid list. The tp9sfx is in my list to get. The shadow 2 will be before it though.
Good choice! Greetings from Skopje, Macedonia!
Great list for sure. In my experience, i shoot the most accurate with my FN Five-seveN.
Thank you for this video! Love the channel and the content. God bless you all!
This video reminds me of lifesizepotato who got a lot of hate making a similar list with top tier 9 mm handguns. Miss him :(
Dammit.... I can't wait to get my hands on a DWX!!! I have a feeling it may crown this list...
Went to my local gun range, and for $25 you can demo any gun they have. I went back over and over and had them pick a 9mm. I tried not to focus on the model as I just wanted to find something that felt right. When I left, my son said what was the last gun we fired...wow. I said yup, felt the same way. CZ Shadow 2. Went back and bought one. Cant tell you how many new friends I have made on the range since the purchase.
i got a pair of 1858 remingtons replica's but the guy i got them from was a gunsmith and marksmen shooter and took first place in the state with them against modern pistols and i got them on very good deal from him before he died with converters and extra cylinders and all my friends say the same thing they shoot perfect . the old owner said he did a lot too them totally reworked them real smooth on the action one of the best gun's i have ever shot even better then my colts
I'm glad the Beretta made the list. I have the Q5, want the CZ, but the Beretta is next.
I was actually surprised by how accurate the .45 beretta PX4 Storm full size is. Crazy accurate right out of box you should check it out.
What sold me on the TS2 is that Mrs Outlaw shot it well. And I don't have your bear claws. I already had the PDP full size and love it.
My go to channel
Probably the most enjoyable review videos on RUclips, thanks
I feel like I made the right decision with my Canik SFX. At least it gets an honorable mention.
Considering the canik myself. Any pros cons?
@@iSyre Not really. I replaced the already great trigger with a Freedome smith trigger. I did it my self. Nice and easy. Venom red dot site. A more aggressive grip. Its shoots like a dream. Oh and you cant beat the cost.
@dead Chris bounce. Love my SFX. Accurate, great trigger, even better with Freedom Smith. Cons- occasional stove pipes, keeping it clean helps. Front of gun gets pretty hot if shooting a lot of rounds.
@@petebailey2551 I only have about 500 rounds through mine. No stove pipe issue yet.
Some of them need to wear in a little. I used to have one. They are a very good pistol. I had to buy a Q5 Match to better it and the gap isn't as large as you might think.
If he would just pan the camera over to the right about 30 degrees we could see uncle Henry sitting on a lawn chair hitting a gong after most every shot. 😁
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
I love the cz 75 p01
Your shooting always impresses the hell out of me. Great video.
One of the best top pistols videos. Thanks.
"Cause they don't make a .46"
Shut up 😂
“.460 Magnum has entered the chat.”
But the .460 hasn't won two world wars! 🤪😜
"Was that a joke I was supposed to get?"
.454 Casull for those that don't want to over do it (but still totally over do it).
I have a Sig P229 Legion which is the most accurate pistol I have. Little bit more than my Walther Q5 Match and my CZ P10F. These 3 are very accurate!
Would’ve put the 226 at 2 or 3 myself ,but great list
Would love to see your thoughts on a Grand Power X-calibur, their 5" competition handgun.
I just picked that one up about 2 months ago and I love it. My only other pistol is a M&P shield and when I get done shooting the X-calibur it makes me wanna sell the little guy
@matus mikoviny howdy partner, here in the USA I know gunprodeals.com aka gunzonedeals.com has at least 4 or 5 different GP models. That sucks to hear about your experience with your pistol. The x-cal I have is the gen 2 mk12 and in the 1200-1500 rounds I have fired through it I have had 0 failures with the pistol. Just a few duds due to the cheapest brass I can find. I sure hope this reliability continues for years to come.
I would love to see a review on the k105 🔫🤠
Fantastic video! Binging on some of your older stuff. Consider doing this video for revolvers please.
ok this is it, ive been a 1911/2011 guy, but since some of my friends own CZ shadows, i will definitely consider owning a CZ... soon! awesome reviews, great camera work
Great video!! Would love to see a video on how to get better at tightening up those groups. I've been shooting for years but still have a 2-3" group at like 15 yards
My first thought other than the Olympic Freehand Pistols was the S&W Model 41.
I have a 2011 DVU3, a Nighthawk High Power, CZ Acushadow 2, CZ Czeckmate, Cz ST Orange, Wilson Combat EDCX9, And a Sig P210 Target, I am military qualified Expert and NRA qualified Indoor & Outdoor Master, I tend to agree with you in the most part but personally I believe the CZ TS Orange takes 1st place in my runup, then the 2011, CZ acushadow in that order for my preference, for multiclass the CZ Czeckmate is extremely hard to beat. Any way that's my input but you did a great video, hope to see more.
Is the cz shadow 2 Orange the same thing as the cz ts orange you mention here?
@@oluwaboriogunafolabi3997 no sir the ts orange is a whole different animal than the shadow 2 orange and far superior in accuracy and operation.
@@catdoctor8393 thanks for the quick reply. I’m still a bit new to this, and I’m stuck in Canada 😫. My plan is to get into competition shooting but I’d like to buy one great gun and hopefully stick with it. Currently all I shoot is the only and first pistol I’ve owned (iwi masada). While it’s a decent pistol for what it’s designed for, I’m looking to move towards advanced shooting. All my research so far has pointed to CZ or 1911. Lastly I have large hands and would like to find something to accommodate that added complexity. Any suggestions? I’m willing to spend up to 3k if needed as I only plan to buy one life long high end pistol...for now 😜
I agree with this list 100%. Those 160 people that have thumbs downed this list, really need to get a life. The only ones I haven't shot on the list are the Pardini and the Phoenix pistols.
I would love to see a top 5 most accurate guns at different price points. Say $250 or possibly $500 increments something to help those of us buying on a fixed budget who want the best we can get.
Personally I would love to have brought home my Colt 1911 from the Army. As I was stationed outside the US when they were allowing us to buy them as we exited service, I was not allowed to bring one home on a commercial flight though.
Whoa, i almost got excited for 2 videos in one day. Got me...
My most accurate that are not Olympic. They fit my hands best and work best for me well past 150yards with constantly baseball sized groups.
1). HK USP Expert.45 with +p+ personal defense rounds.
2). Browning Buckmark Hunter out of the box it drives nails.
3). My 1973 Hi Standard Supermatic Citation Military with 7” fluted bull barrel. Factory original it is insane accurate.
4). My 1950 Colt Woodsman Match Target 2nd series is basically a small rifle like the 3 listed above.
5). My like new used S&W Model 41 Performance Center. It’s super accurate well past 100yards.
Honorable mentions are my S&W 17-8 and Ruger Mark 4 Hunter with Target grips and Volquartsen trigger.
Great list however I got my own as well, for a hell of a lot less $$$ too. 😉
Love the Mark 23 by the way!! It’s no PSG1, but close.
