And to top off both his and my poor opinion of the gun, when he handed it to me to shoot, it exploded and shot shrapnel into my forearm.

I remember Betty White in the movie “Double Rain” with that double barrel 12 ga. A great loss for us all in 2021, respect Betty and to all your care for dogs.
Wtf, she died? That’s crazy, I just saw a news piece like 2 days ago that she was about to air a 100th birthday special. What a shame she didn’t get to see it, especially on New Year’s Eve.
Could you imagine what they could achieve with a full bore production company behind them? I get it, but it would be interesting to see. Plus prices would go down even further.
My top 5 guns this year, are the used guns that I bought from neighbors, who are either too old to shoot any more, or don't want to pay for the ammunition to feed them.
@@nchintalapani I picked up an FN Browning A5 light 12, a Peruvian Modelo 1935 Mauser chambered in 30-06, a JC Higgins model 20 12g pump, and an 1830s percussion trade rifle, for $400. All safe queens. Like new. The guys wife was bugging him to get rid of them, to make room in the safe for the gold that they were stacking.
As a pleasantly surprised LCP Max owner (who loves the fact that it can be stowed in the chest pocket of my jacket), I really appreciate the recognition given to Ruger, who actually seemed to listen to their consumers.
I agree with the LCP Max. Once I get enough ammo to put some break-in rounds downrange, I'll be replacing my P3AT. Ruger hit it out of the park with the LCP Max.
Same here. For me, size and weight are tied with reliability as my top priorities for EDC. If it won't fit in my pocket, I know I won't carry every single day. I prefer to wait for the LCP Max prices to fall a little or for my P3AT to break, whichever comes first.
My wife got one. Between us we have ran around 250 rounds through it. First 50 had a few double feeds for some reason using ball ammo. After that it has ran flawless. Have ran a few hollow points also with no problem.
The LCP MAX was precisely what my wife had been asking for since she started carrying her purple LCP. _More capacity and bigger grip!_ She fondly named her standard LCP "Poppy" as we tend to bestow a name upon the firearms we continually carry. Being that we live in Arizona and frequent Prescott, it does not surprise me that Ruger was listening to their customers, especially around J&G Sales. You will be hard pressed to find someone in Prescott that doesn't work for Ruger or at least know someone that works for Ruger. Word of mouth travels far in a small town like Prescott, Arizona. When she heard about the LCP MAX she was ecstatic to say the least. In fact she already has a named picked out for her if she truly likes it. Only recently has she entertained the idea of a red dot on a carry pistol so now she wants to try the MAX-9 too. Although, she questions whether it [MAX-9] would be concealable on her petite frame. Hence her love of .380's for their overall smaller size. Cheers to Ruger for hitting a couple of homeruns! Stay classy my friends.
With that teaser i really expected to see the Laugo Arms Alien on top. Sure the H&K P7 had a gas piston before it, and the ergonomics resemble a CZ 75, but that thing is actually innovative. Crazy expensive, but they had actual R&D cost to recover.
I agree with your pick for #1. I bought one a couple months ago and I LOVE it. My philosophy is: "The gun you have with you is better than that whole arsenal you left at home." If a gun's too big to carry concealed, I won't have it with me at that ONE time in my life that I NEEDED it.
I was fortunate enough to welcome two new daughters to this world at the end of 2020 and end of 2021, and your channel is what got me through the (still occurring) sleepless nights and hard days. Mailroom making it feel like I had somebody there with me while I fed, changed diapers, let my wife sleep, and all the other stuff for good laughs and even better advice. My oldest daughter and I have a great time watching your videos together. Happy new year to everybody on the TFBtv staff, you all impact lives more than you’ll ever know!
YET Another excellent review. No added fluff, no extreme harsh criticisms, just logical information in a fast moving presentation. Thank you for a "Professional" review. A + for sure.
The Sa35 totally flew under my radar. A new Hi Power for well under $900 is a steal even if it takes a few months to get the quality control into standards.
I got the LCP Max the day after it was released. It is so awesome, very low recoil, shoots accurate, and has great sights. I carry mine with the 12 round mags. 760 rounds thru it with no problems.
I got the lcp max basically because of your review and I really wanted something that was very pocket concealable (not just fit into my pocket but was so big part of it is almost hanging out. The lcp max is my favorite gun to carry… not my favorite gun. But it is so freaking easy to carry…
Bought a Ruger LCP Max about 3 weeks after they hit the shelves. Absolutely love it...replaced my Glock 42 as my everyday pocket carry...Never leave home without it!!
So so so glad to see the .380 Max in the 1st slot! Fantasic gun, and while .380 may be considered underpowered, it will definitely get the job done. Happy New Year! 🥃
The Ruger little 9 is one of my favorites because living in the tropics makes concealing a small revolver a trick unless you wear a coat. And nobody's wearing a coat around here in July. Thus, a micro handgun that dishes out .380 is a huge improvement over carrying a .22 rimfire, a 32 or a 25auto. The low price of entry is just a bonus.
You did a great job on this video!! The effort you put into it is appreciated. The video was entertaining and very informative. Thanks, and Happy New Year!
"It is easer to find a Serb without ic at the end of his name than a not happy m90 owner." As a Serb I approve of this message. I see you know your Serbs well.
I 100% agree with the LCP max being #1. 10+1 or 12+1 in your pocket. My bodyguard was the only pistol in this size able to group at a distance. This is lighter and has a better trigger. Capable of 2x the capacity.
My top5. From your channel. 5. Beretta 1301. 4. Flux raider. I’ll buy one if they are ever in stock. Your video was first time I had heard of/considered it 3. Shield plus. I have been shooting idpa and uspsa with mine. I like it. Great trigger. 2. Arsenal. I’m an AR guy. But these look cool. Maybe if the stock market goes well I’ll get one! 1. M&p 10mm. Never wanted a 10mm pistol until I watched that review. Coupled with how much I like the shield plus. I want to try it. Now, if I could make the flux raider take the m&P 10mm. Would be a sweet set up.
@@JacksonWalter735 go to a gun store and handle both of them. The 365 is smaller, has smaller grips, easier to truly pocket carry, the shield plus IMO is the better gun, but it's a little bigger all around.
Just after the seven minute mark: "...and full bush was in." Finished a short bark of laughter, stopped what I was working on, and made time to hit the like button. Great review as always.
I checked my nearby gun stores weekly for 2 months, until i finally found one, on sale luckily. Picked it it up same day. Also grabbed a 12 round mag and the Talon Pro grips.
@@swingsetmafia they are just two very different guns. P238 is small but very heavy for what it is. LCP max is light, small ( but not as small as the original LCP or LCP2) and has a lot of rounds. Trigger is definitely heavy but not bad. P238 will definitely feel less snappy because of weight and have a better trigger.
Great top choice! 💯I own the LCP Max and I really love it. I bought three larger capacity magazines, and they work great to slightly extend the grip and add two more rounds. It fits in my pocket (I'm a shorts guy living on the gulf coast) and using ARX ammo it's much lighter than my Sig P365 (my winter gun). Thanks for the great videos. Keep up the good work!
I love the super long intro to the number one explaining the others couldn't be number one because they are updates on existing guns and then announce number one as the most current version of a gun that's been on the market for years lol. Happy new years!
The last two years certainly were less than ideal. Besides everything else going on, I was diagnosed with cancer. BUT....what an incredible years for firearms & shooting! A new AR, two new AR PCC’s, a new SIG pistol and I was finally able to locate & buy ammo for my various milsurps. Starting the new year with CCP and a suppressor for the rifles. I’m happy!

#1 is an excellent choice. Over the years I have had female friends and family ask about a handgun for self defense. My first pick for them was a 9mm Kurz (.380 ACP) in a gun that didn't exist; the Ruger LCP Max is that pistol. The five shot 2" revolvers were always considered, but most of them barely hit the target at seven paces; developed an instant flinch from the recoil. I bought the Kel-Tec 3AT when it came out, but flinchitis and controllability was a challenge for them.
I love my 380 Max. Having that kind of capacity casually in my shorts is amazing. The gun ran flawless out of the box with fiocchi ball and hornady crit defense.
My wife got me a Ruger LCP Max for Christmas. I have yet to shoot it, but I just bought two OEM 12-round mags for it. Going to get my CHL on Jan. 15th!
2021 I bought the first desert eagle I have ever seen in real life. Such a great purchase. 2020 and 2021 I’ve made the most amounts of money in my life and it seems to only be getting better. Loving it.
No joke, I actually bought my 3rd LCP Max this morning. Gifted the first two to my brother and sister in law for easier concealed carry. Got a replacement for myself to use during dog walks with shorts/sweat pants and around the house carry. I still pocket carry my Hellcat with regular pants and a belt.
Keltec P50 is my #1 without question. I love mine and im tired of hearing people complain about no stock/brace when I literally had my carbon fiber side folding brace that did not require any permanent modification to add day 1. Theres also a picitiny brace from another company that's a solid choice.
I was very surprised that there was a .380 on this list. I have a .380 Taurus which I inherited. I tried to trade it in on the last 2 new guns that I bought, but had no takers. My girlfriend wanted to buy herself a gun on a budget. I told her that she could have my .380 with 2 holsters and 6 extra mags, and 150 rounds of .380 acp. for free. Her relatives told her to get the biggest gun she could handle and she got a CZ75B. I can’t even give a .380 away…..LOL!
Suggestions, 1) Let her use it at the range 2) keep it as a safe queen, the republic can use another sidearm in a couple years 3) keep it as a safe queen, then trade it for 60 pounds of pasta and 5 pounds of hard red winter wheat in a couple years
Finger was off the trigger and the slide was halfway back, so likely no. In those conditions, if so, it were "immaculate combustion" Just a non-perfect segue effect choice
I was, too. But I think the Max is a better choice. The Alien's innovations, as impressive as they are, are years away from having any relevance for most consumers.
The Walther pdp has been the best striker fired pistol I've owned / purchased in atleast 4 years time. She's seen about 2k rounds with only 1 hiccup which I think ultimately was my fault due to modding a restricted 10rd magazine to a full size 18rd mag which I ended up taking apart again and filing down the inside of the mag and it's been running fine since.
My fiancé is hell bent on getting a Ruger LCP Max. While I’m not a fan of .380 ACP, I’d rather her have more options to carry than to not carry at all. Yes, I’ve been doing plenty of ammo research and I’ve been pushing her to do the same.
Given the size of most women's pants pockets and the low cut designs of most women's pants I can understand why she wants it. Especially if she doesn't want to carry in her purse.
@@alexwalker2582 I understand why she wants it too, which is why I’m saying that I would rather her have it than nothing at all. I’m glad I’m a 6’4 200+ pound guy. I can comfortably carry my Glock 21 with 13 +1 rounds of 230 grain Winchester T-series .45 ACP. I still would feel more comfortable if she’d be willing to at least see how the SIG 365 would fit for her. I am not a 9mm guy, but it’s the lowest I’d comfortably go. I’ve studied the ballistics of many cartridges, and they certainly have their advantages and disadvantages. The “all handgun rounds are virtually the same” argument is hogwash and ignores physics. Too bad they don’t make a modern pistol in 9x18 Makarov, it would give that ever so slight “punch” that I think the .380 ACP needs.
Bought my first Mini in the early 90's when it was *the* economical alternative to AR's on the market. I've since bought three others, the last as recently as 2 years ago. Love them.
lol. I did just the opposite . Sold the 14 and 30 and a bunch of access. I like the garand safety , but mine wouldn't group to suit me ,esp. the 30. Looked at what it would take to make them group......now I'm happy with the AR platform.
Awesome pics. Slightly disappointed you haven’t figured out how to draw from a pocket holster yet 😂. Kinda funny how you just toss the holster to the side tho. Those holsters are designed to catch on the inside lip of your pocket so they holster stays in the pocket when you draw the firearm. Kind of similar how an Emerson Wave style knife opens. Whatever works for you is awesome I’m not judging I’m just saying there is a way to easily draw your LCP one handed and without having to toss the holster. Happy New Years everyone, stay safe🤙🏻
Zastava is really up there on my 'to get' list. Waiting for an auction steal when all the drunks aren't bidding on them through the roof. CHEERS, James and all of TFB TV, Happy New Gun Year.

As a former Saturn Ion owner, it's nice to know that the materials went to something just as loveably disgusting in the form of Kel Tec guns

I just subscribed to your channel. It's the perfect amount of data and jackassery. Thank you for producing great content!
I hope you have a great 2022! Happy New Year!
Now I want Hop's version of the list.
Now I want Hop.
#1 is an excellent choice. Over the years I have had female friends and family ask about a handgun for self defense. My first pick for them was a 9mm Kurz (.380 ACP) in a gun that didn't exist; the Ruger LCP Max is that pistol. The five shot 2" revolvers were always considered, but most of them barely hit the target at seven paces; developed an instant flinch from the recoil. I bought the Kel-Tec 3AT when it came out, but flinchitis and controllability was a challenge for them.
Thanks for the awesome year of content Jimmy!
Happy New Year my Dude cheers
To be honest those out there that believe you should never carry anything chambered in 380 or below are over analyzing the situation of day to day...
Especially now that there are modern .380 defense loads that easily pass the FBI penetration test
Dude everything you do is totally awesome
I never wanted an LCP. But, I do want an LCP Max.

I love my 380 Max. Having that kind of capacity casually in my shorts is amazing. The gun ran flawless out of the box with fiocchi ball and hornady crit defense.
@@PositiveManifestation-Love that would be cool!
My wife got me a Ruger LCP Max for Christmas. I have yet to shoot it, but I just bought two OEM 12-round mags for it. Going to get my CHL on Jan. 15th!

2021 I bought the first desert eagle I have ever seen in real life. Such a great purchase. 2020 and 2021 I’ve made the most amounts of money in my life and it seems to only be getting better. Loving it.
Great video thanks!
No joke, I actually bought my 3rd LCP Max this morning. Gifted the first two to my brother and sister in law for easier concealed carry. Got a replacement for myself to use during dog walks with shorts/sweat pants and around the house carry. I still pocket carry my Hellcat with regular pants and a belt.

Good picks happy New Years James!
I thought the new 10mm offerings from S&W and Springfield looked pretty promising
Well researched. You're always great but this one stands out! Thanks for what you do and Happy New Year!
Keltec P50 is my #1 without question. I love mine and im tired of hearing people complain about no stock/brace when I literally had my carbon fiber side folding brace that did not require any permanent modification to add day 1. Theres also a picitiny brace from another company that's a solid choice.
People love to bash Kel Tec, Hi-Point and Kimber for some reason. I have/had all of these brands and they work/worked fine.
Great video as always. Happy New Year!
I was very surprised that there was a .380 on this list. I have a .380 Taurus which I inherited. I tried to trade it in on the last 2 new guns that I bought, but had no takers. My girlfriend wanted to buy herself a gun on a budget. I told her that she could have my .380 with 2 holsters and 6 extra mags, and 150 rounds of .380 acp. for free. Her relatives told her to get the biggest gun she could handle and she got a CZ75B. I can’t even give a .380 away…..LOL!
Suggestions,
1) Let her use it at the range
2) keep it as a safe queen, the republic can use another sidearm in a couple years
3) keep it as a safe queen, then trade it for 60 pounds of pasta and 5 pounds of hard red winter wheat in a couple years
@@phild8095 Great suggestions Phil! It just does not want to leave me…LOL!
Happy New Year 🎆 to you and yours
Was that a negligent discharge @ 8:24? Sure looked like it
I thought so too! Thought I was seeing things and moved on with the video.
Finger was off the trigger and the slide was halfway back, so likely no. In those conditions, if so, it were "immaculate combustion"
Just a non-perfect segue effect choice
Happy New Year James........and to everyone !!!
21 was a big year for me. Got my first suppressor, 44 magnum, and got my battle rifle set up
Oh and my daughter was born I guess
So your suppressor didn't work ?....j/k congrats....Do you realize what you've done ? ...you will in 12 years....
Classic
Happy new year brotha
I was sure that the top gun was gonna be the Laugo Arms Alien since he was talking so much about innovation
I was, too. But I think the Max is a better choice. The Alien's innovations, as impressive as they are, are years away from having any relevance for most consumers.
$4-5 grand, limited run, makes it not an option, it's a collector gun at this point.
Very surprised we didn't find you in the "Gundie" awards. Even looked for a write in slot. Oh well, there's always next year... And, Happy New Year.
The Walther pdp has been the best striker fired pistol I've owned / purchased in atleast 4 years time. She's seen about 2k rounds with only 1 hiccup which I think ultimately was my fault due to modding a restricted 10rd magazine to a full size 18rd mag which I ended up taking apart again and filing down the inside of the mag and it's been running fine since.
Agreed it's fantastic best trigger I've ever felt. 1k rds without a hiccup super comfy it's my EDC now.
Yeah, they jerked the PDP by not putting it even in the honorable mentions. Great piece.
I said the same thing. A bit of a bullshit list but James has bills to pay like everyone else.
Happy New Year James TFB t.v. ...
Thanks for all your hard work and knowledge all year sir! We appreciate you! Happy New Year! 🥂👍🎊

happy new year to you and yours and thanks for a great year
When you realize you bought #1,2,3 and a runoff, you realize you spent too much money, but at least it was on good guns.
Happy New Year James!
My fiancé is hell bent on getting a Ruger LCP Max. While I’m not a fan of .380 ACP, I’d rather her have more options to carry than to not carry at all. Yes, I’ve been doing plenty of ammo research and I’ve been pushing her to do the same.
Women do not know what they want, just buy her what she needs.
@@pimenjoyer.221 kinda sexist of you
Given the size of most women's pants pockets and the low cut designs of most women's pants I can understand why she wants it. Especially if she doesn't want to carry in her purse.
@@factsoftheconfederacy7151 Imagine unironically calling another man sexist. Lol
@@alexwalker2582 I understand why she wants it too, which is why I’m saying that I would rather her have it than nothing at all. I’m glad I’m a 6’4 200+ pound guy. I can comfortably carry my Glock 21 with 13 +1 rounds of 230 grain Winchester T-series .45 ACP. I still would feel more comfortable if she’d be willing to at least see how the SIG 365 would fit for her. I am not a 9mm guy, but it’s the lowest I’d comfortably go. I’ve studied the ballistics of many cartridges, and they certainly have their advantages and disadvantages. The “all handgun rounds are virtually the same” argument is hogwash and ignores physics. Too bad they don’t make a modern pistol in 9x18 Makarov, it would give that ever so slight “punch” that I think the .380 ACP needs.
Love your choices, Number one is cool, though I'm sticking with my colt mustang.
If 5.7 was cheaper than .223 I’d blast that shit every day.
And if wishes were horses, I'd have a stable of hot Tomboys.
(Tomboys are better than 5.7. Refuses to elaborate. Leaves).
Thanks for all the videos this year!
Bought my first Mini in the early 90's when it was *the* economical alternative to AR's on the market. I've since bought three others, the last as recently as 2 years ago. Love them.
I am looking to buy my first mini. What you recommend?? Thx
lol. I did just the opposite . Sold the 14 and 30 and a bunch of access. I like the garand safety , but mine wouldn't group to suit me ,esp. the 30. Looked at what it would take to make them group......now I'm happy with the AR platform.
Look at the flex with the G36 in the back
Awesome pics. Slightly disappointed you haven’t figured out how to draw from a pocket holster yet 😂. Kinda funny how you just toss the holster to the side tho. Those holsters are designed to catch on the inside lip of your pocket so they holster stays in the pocket when you draw the firearm. Kind of similar how an Emerson Wave style knife opens. Whatever works for you is awesome I’m not judging I’m just saying there is a way to easily draw your LCP one handed and without having to toss the holster. Happy New Years everyone, stay safe🤙🏻
Thank you and Happy New Year! 🎩🥂
Zastava is really up there on my 'to get' list. Waiting for an auction steal when all the drunks aren't bidding on them through the roof. CHEERS, James and all of TFB TV, Happy New Gun Year.
I made a couple great buys, and sold some big winners off this year.
Here’s to an amazing year James and TFB TV.
Dude, I'm still into full bush

What a way to Ring in the new year watching this! Happy new year!
Enthusiasm makes me want the m90 even though i can't think of a use in my arsenal. Same journey for me. Carried a shield until the 365xl this year.
You need a reason to buy another gun?
@@TheKawasaki250 No, but i do have to be judicious with my choices, you don't save up for a 10k 50bmg buying every 1k gun to come along
Happy New Year, brother!
