I have a very large collection, and the CZ Bren 2 is incredible and totally slept on. Battle proven in Ukraine, lightweight, ergos, and can be had for $1500 if you look around and dont buy during the low stock times. Incredible rifle . . .

I own and shoot a Beretta 92 and Sig P229 Legion. Love them both. I just enjoy heavy DA/SA guns. Both guns are accurate, easy to maintain, handle and they are dependable. I really can’t pick one over the other

Just bought an M9A4. First Beretta I've owned and I had to really get over the memories I had of the Army issued M9. I absolutely love the A4

Adding Langdon Tactical internals and trigger to the 92FS makes a huge difference too.

This is a great list, gives me a good look at some future acquisitions and it confirms several of my own choices already residing in my safe! Lol keep these great videos coming

I built most of my TEOTWAWKI guns. But my go to hand gun is a PX4 storm. Keep in mind my goal is to arm and train a family of 6 with 1 long gun and 1 sidearm.

I am happy to see you give respect to the Canik Rival. I must say it is one of my absolute favorite handguns.

100% agree with the M9A3/M9A4. I aiwb cc an M9A4 with a surefire X300 in a trex side car (im a taller dude). Its got weight to it but its not overly heavy. I have no problem carrying it all day everyday and even around the house. I do prefer my PX4 Storm Compact for the summer time when im wearing shorts. CZs and hammer-fired sigs are also right up there

For the SigSauer P229 do you have .357 SIG and/or .40 S&W?

Yeah 5.56 is boring...but necessary! My family scout rifle (DD MK18) is 5 56...everything else i have is 7.62x39 and 308. Great video! 👍

I'd honestly switch the first rifle with the IWI Zion. It's a perfect middle of the road AR that isn't a budget mystery brand of questionable reliability and also isn't Daniel Defense where you're paying for the name. I've seen some for just under 900 dollars. They recoil very little compared to other budget rifles I've had trigger time with.

While it's not the Shadow 2, the P-07 also has internal rails. I own both, love both - BUT - the P-07 needed the CGW trigger upgrade for me to like it enough to carry. The reset overtravel drove me nuts, everything else? Perfect. CZ Shadow 2 comes perfectly out of the box, just mentioning this for those who may be on a budget. P-07 is fantastic, and affordable.

Nice selection, definitely a different take on rifles. As for guns the cz polymer frames would be my personal choice 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

As a bodyguard I appendix carry the Canik Rival (the holster that comes with it is for competition or the range only). It's absolutely reliable, gas the best trigger of any polymer pistol in the world and is incredibly accurate.. and Mec-Gar offer 20 rd mags. The canik red dot M01 is reflexive and fantastic too.

Have you ever gotten to try the Robinson Arms XCR series?

Great list! 2 more I can think of: VP9sk and the MK23. Everyone seems to shoot these well sometimes better than their own firearms.

Since you seem to like the Swiss stuff you you check out the SG-553 Not as loaded as the B&T stuff but they are a lot of fun.

The Sig P365's in my opinion are world's above the S&W Shields.

excellent reviews. thank you

I bought a CZ 75 bd a while back. On one hand wish I bought one of the shadows but I'm still in love with the one I bought.

Great video honestly a real next level pick of different weapons. I have a bunch of Beretta 92 models when I get my AK addiction under control. I going to get some CZ 75 D compact and full size CZ and more. B&T is on my short list as well .300 blackout I don't have any 5.56 anymore.

You’re spot on with B&T APC556. All B&T’s come in the country as pistols so it’s not that difference from the acp223 but there’s a pretty big difference. The flat trigger out of that company probably should have been the curved one but it’s the best trigger in the industry if you ask me. Bren 2 is #2 for sure. As far as pistols, I’ve carried an sig 228 since they came out and have several 229’s 226’s, & 239’s. They are probably the best work horse guns you can get. They will never fail!

My favorite guns that I have that I think are some of the best are FN Scar 17S, CZ Bren 2 MS SBR, Sig 516 carbon fiber, DDM4 PDW SBR, Maxim Defense MDX 510 SBR, DDM4 V7 Pro gun metal grey, Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro 6.5 creed, Sig MPX, HK MP5K and MP5, STI Staccato P DUO, Colt Python, Colt Anaconda, Sig P229 Legion, Beretta M9A4, FN Hi-Power 2022 Model, and my The Benelli M4 / M1014 just to name a few.

What is your opinion of the Sig P365 Macro? Any problems like I’ve heard other Sig models have?

I have a S&W 9mm Shield Plus with 3 5/8 inch True Precision Threaded Barrel. Also a S&W 9mm Shield with upgraded Trigger, 3 5/8 inch Faxon Threaded Barrel and Hogue grips. I had to buy the Shield because it was only $219.99. My first 40cal ever. I paid under $300.00. A S&W 40cal police tread in. In very great condition. My full size 9mm SD9VE. Trigger upgraded, Stainless steel slide bar and locking lever. All no malfunctions and accurate.

As a revolver aficionado I’m partial to .357 magnums. Especially the affordable, robust SP101 and the GP100. Colt and S&W make great guns too but the Rugers are generally less expensive. Ruger customer service is outstanding as well.

I was all onboard to you said Canik True they package their products nicely but their best feature (the trigger) isn’t even theirs My Rival is one of the few regrets in my Collection

I own a IWI Tavor 7. I love it!

Picked up a CZ Bren 2, with the 3.5 pound trigger and the heavy barrel. Sniper accuracy / semiauto /gas piston reliability.

As far as a 5.56 the Robinson M96 is such an exceptional rifle. The 16 inch barrel Recon model is quick release and that aids in cleaning. The gas adj system makes it super reliable and soft shooting. The side charging handle is super smooth. Yes its a close clone to the Stoner 63 and that is the wow factor. Why no military picked this rifle makes no sense to me. Rugged, beautiful and very reliable. Pistol wise the Para Ordinance 45 ACP 1911s like the 14/45 and Para SSP are outstanding too.

I picked up a sig516 upper a few years back and it has become one of my main squeeze 556 rifles

i agree with most of what you say except for conceal carrying a CZ75 i work private security at a up scale NC country club i carry a CZ75b every day 12+ hours a day it's definitely not too heavy for concealed carry.

I checked out the B&T 308 pro a few weeks ago, and it's incredible. I will 'pay once, cry once'. I will partner it up with either the 9mm or 45 B&T APC SD pro. Unfortunately, in Austria 🇦🇹 they all cost much more. The 308 is €5.000 (SCAR 20 is €10.000!)

Great video! Loved my shield plus so much I just picked up a m&p 2.0 5” performance center for a range toy and home defense. I traded in my beretta 92 Xi sao that left me disappointed. I was originally thinking of buying the m9a4 but made the wrong choice. Hoping to get out and shoot the new performance center tomorrow morning and have a better experience and one day give beretta another chance.

great video Hegshot ! i love ur content 👏👏🙌🙌🫶

I like the PPQ SC. I think it is one of the most under rated guns of all time. With the 10 rnd mags, it is more concealable than my 43x, and when I put the 4" threaded barrel with a comp and the full size grip ext with a +6 mag ext I get a 21 rnd full size pistol. The trigger is the best on the market, the ego's are insane, and it is 100% reliable. A gun that can fit all needs from duty to ccw.

I am with you brother. I have bought and gotten rid of a lot of pistols. The 2 that have stayed with me forever are the cz 75 sp-01 tactical, and canik tp9 sfx. What is funny is that I have been wanting the newer updated and improved versions. Specifically exactly those you presented. Maybe a different color or the s version of the canik. Also, you must try the 45 blast compensator. It makes the gun shoot so flat you won't believe it. Plus it looks like a gun from robocop. Very intimidating.

I love both of my caniks my daily carry is the mete mc9 and my range gun is the TTI combat.

DI>Piston simply for parts availability commonality

Not a Beretta fan like the 236 and shield, deff Canaic for good affordable gun. Dont know the 556 you recommended but like what you said ,308 is out of my league. Thx T

1. Bagara B14 HMR (hunting/long range work) 2. Sig P365XL is king of conceal carry (slightly larger than a shield but has almost double the capacity) 3. Gen 1 Smith and Wesson M&P .40 (duty) 4. Beretta Patrol 5. Ruger 10/22 6. Ruger Mark 4 7. Q honey Badger

Absolutely agree with the Beretta 92 / M9. 20 years in the Army, so really familiar with this platform, and it was my first firearm purchase. Based on the same reason, I don’t agree with the non-standard ARs. They may be cool and really ergonomic, but I question the reliability, and the cost / benefit over a good AR is just not there IMHO. Guess I’m just familiar with the old school AR-15. I’ve shot and liked the Canik, but I prefer the M&P 2.0. I have a Compact and Full size currently, and plan to get a Shield Plus OR to round out my collection!

I'm pretty set with home defense and CC guns, but really am thinking about a Beretta 92 or clone for the range.

The Sig 516 was replaced with the MCX series, not the Tread, etc.

I have SiG P226, P225,P228,P220. I had a P227 but sold it. I haven't shot a Beretta since 1974. I have several Smith and Wesson revolvers and I shoot them the most. I am interested in the first .308 rifle that you showed. Also may upgrade my shotgun.

For CA the M&P Shield Plus is the only one available so definitely a good option!

I'm a little surprised not to see an old-school Colt Python. I sold and shot them back in the 1970s, and I've still never seen a better revolver.

21:49 Nice malfunction.. This is why Canik sends you all that extra stuff, cause the guns arent as refined lol

For me m9a4, CZ P-09 , Sig 229, Sig 365x , couple S&W j frames CZ PCR , SBR 300 blk plus multiple uppers , M4 14.5 plus multiple uppers, mini 14 in 5.56 and 300 blk , 10/22 bull and multiple bolts multiple calibers Would like a CZ shadow 2 in future

I'd go with the Patriot ordinance firearms rogue or revolution in 308. Bigger bang for the buck. Same weight as a typical ar15. The sig spear is at the top of my list too.

I’m 68 years old and retired! I’m a Revolver guy! And I own hunting rifle and a 12 gauge shotgun! But I’ve owned them for 45 years or more! I’ve hunted pheasant rabbit and deer and wild hog! So I’m sure they are going to protect me and my family from Rapscallions when they come to my house! I have a Remington 870,760 ! Python and browning hi power and a beretta 92 fs! And more!

Would love to see a review of the Robinson Armament XCR-L and M series?

For me, all my guns (4 handguns/1 rifle) are all carry type weapons so the $1500 and up are out of the question. So some of your options here are nice.

Prefer the XCR over the APC personally. But I sold my Scar and Bren to keep those two so... For handies; Korth .44, P220, M9A4, WC EDC, Rock

On multiple occasions, when you begin addressing/demonstrating a trigger, the video cuts away to something else. That's an interesting editorial decision. It's a bit of a niche weapon, but for those whom it serves, the Bul SAS II is clearly a next level sub-compact. It shoots softer and better than some full sized handguns.

I have the CZ TS2 in 40S&W with a 1.5 pounds trigger pull

I bought the then new M&P 2.0 10mm with a 4.625 inch barrel and no safety lever. Felt good in my hand and looked great so invested in it. Mag-Na-Port quad ported it for me.Then installed a Carver Custom HEAVY tungsten non captured spring guide rod with a 17 pound recoil spring to fit on it. C&H Precision aluminum mounting plate upgrade for my Holosun 508T solar backup red dot. Installed X/S optic height steel tritium night sights and an Apex aluminum flat trigger to replace the plastic flat trigger. Floyd’s Custom had a flared aluminum magazine attachment and replacement aluminum base plates to add one round without changing the magazine spring. Had to install a Pachmyer slip on rubber grip over the abrasive grip texture as it was rubbing on my shirt and coat so much it was abrading the cloth. It doesn’t cover the whole grip but it helps some. Was hell trying to slip it on. Had to remove the back strap and slid it on and roll it up like a sock to the top of the grip. Reinserted the back strap and rolled the slip on rubber grip down into place. I love my M&P 2.0 10mm!!!

you should have talked about the girsan 92 that is brand new cheaper than a beretta their version of the performance model is only 526 and the one that comes with the optic goes for 550 its all what you want and can afford

All the years I've been shooting I have never shot a barretta 92, They're not the easiest guns to work on when I buy something I wanted easy To work on instead of taking it to the Gunsmith get ripped off That's why I like my cheap glock .😅

I'm always inclined to overspend to try and get the best firearm I can get. To me, and my budget there's just not enough price difference between top of the line and "value" options. However, that's not entirely true of optics. I simply can't justify paying for some top tier optics because there seems to be too much of a price difference between the best and the value choices and not enough functional difference to justify the expense.

This list is mostly "uncommon guns that are cool but not needed."

Bren 2 flip up sights are Troy combat signts

Where can I get that shirt you’re wearing?

Decent list, id have to toss the B&T due to price, I get it, but the high cost actually makes it second to a lot of guns.

The cz p10c is no doubt a better value than a canik

Jeez man, an AR being boring.i wish I could be there too. I got into firearms in late 2019. I live in WA. By the time I started really learning and buying up more and more it was too late. I never was able to purchase an AR. Or any semi auto rifles. Ugg!

basically an infomercial for gun companies he has good relationships with. really no valuable information but that's par for the course with this channel

B&T’s are beautifully made. My APC300 is definitely nicer than my SCAR 17.

Holy Trijicon on that .308 .? What is that?

Aero Precision is the best rifle company. K?

XD-S Mod.2 9mm OSP

That thumbnail how you answer your door?

Haha hilarious that the canik jammed on you in the video. No surprise there. I'd stay away from those.

All good choices.

I love B&T. I have a 45 APC pro that shoots smoother than my HK mp5 even tho Its 45

Are we talking wants or needs??? If your a collector everything you mentioned is nice. But from a logistics standpoint they're not very practical choices. If you ever have to use them in a long term serious situation with availability of parts and such being zilch will be impossible. So from a practical logistical and combat proven stand point a good old direct impingement AR-15 in the 20 inch variety and a Betetta M9A1.

My Sister has the 229 Elite and I hate that gun. The grip texture is so aggressive and the shape of it makes it so I cannot shoot 2 mags without it eating the skin off the inside knuckle of my thumb. It was disappointing because it is an awesome gun.

I own a SIG or two and of the three I own, one of them is an absolute dog that causes me to weep. Why SIG, WHY!?!?!?!?!

The M9 is a POS

Love the European guns. Thank you for this video!

Type A Manufacturing (drop mic)

psa craps on s&w quality control and its probably just gassing and ammo but the psa i shot was waaay smoother than any m&p15 ive shot also better balanced

i feel that if you want a rifle to protect your family youre going to need to spend 1000 at a minimum. sadly with firearms you get what you pay for. thats not to say you cant get some decent stuff for cheap, but in my experience the reliability of a more expensive firearm is paramount.

Man only has 2 arms. All a man needs is this loadout: 1 rifle. 5.56 is the easiest to locate and most abundant in USA (I suggest iwi Zion) 1. Side arm. 9mm. Again easy and abundant. (I would go Glock in 9mm…you choose model from here….capacity and how it feels in hand are 2 major factors….remember Glock goes BANG!) 1 12ga shotgun again easy to find and abundant. Walmart still sells 12ga ammo!! (My pick is mossberg 590a1 as it is pump reliability over semi auto….and the 590a1 has the mil spec heavy barrel, and at 18” is about as short as a pump shotgun can be! Unless you go shockwave (590S) but that’s a wild gun to shoot! From these suggestions forward, just stock up on ammo!!! 5.56/9mm/12ga. Simple, effective…and zero overages in money spent or weapons owned. Remember, the weapon you own that isn’t ON you can be used against you! Why arm the enemy?

365 spectre comp is my carry gun. For me, a whole other level. It fits me like it was made for me and I shoot it better than my M9A4. Love both of those as I carried an M9 for most of my career.

That canik rival is the best handgun I've ever owned. Other pistols just pale in comparison.

Idk if i trust you. You said some untrue things on this channel alot

PDW:CMMG Dissent (300BLK, 9mm carbine). Truck Gun: Any Sig Spear LT Battle Rifle: Sig Spear Fury 13” when available… EDC: Stacatto C2 Duty: Stacatto P

Tattoos, beards, guts, and $$$guns.

Traditional AR’s, AK’s & Glocks are boring, affordable FA’s that just work, are readily available, are very well supported. 😎

Glock not mentioned?

CZ P10. Suprised you didn't say Glock 19. Most gun guys say that the meaning of life is "Glock 19".

Caniks are bad ass

Don’t buy an Apc….absolutely buy a scar. You didn’t go into all the problems that gun has.

Canik and Smith & Wesson are on your list but you don't even mention H&K? Yeah, okay

Dude you gota give the s&w m&p15 Sport2 another look. Them things outrun 4000 competitors and many others in meltdown tests. And they got 5R rifled barrels. Come on bro do sum actual research before spitting bs

I find that the Jericho 941 is just as good as any cz 75

Great premise. Cheap buys better guns! Hahaha! One gets what one pays for in this world. My most expensive rifle (way better than your first choice!) is my best and most favorite rifle. Amazingly enough my favorite and best performing pistol is the most expensive. If you guys think your lives are worth less than $1000, keep buying cheap crap that fails. My family's and my own life is worth waaay more than a stack of expensive rifles. If yours is not, sorry for you and your family!

lol
