Guess: glock- simply because there are so many in circulation

Yeah when you tattoo your car or truck with glock sig etc you become a target to get your car broken into.

Ruger had a slogan back in the day, that kinda said. A honest week of work/pay will get you a Ruger firearm.

On Twitter I’ve seen so many people just call ANY pistol a “Glock” it amazes me how uniformed some people are with 2nd amendment tools

Absolutely don't leave any gun in a car or truck anymore unless in a bolted in safe and even then also in a garage with an alarm. "gone in 60seconds" is not just a movie title my peeps. secure your shit. blame needs to be on the criminals not the law abiding. Period.

I remember when Glock first came out, it was pretty much ridiculed by mainstream gun owners as “that Tupperware gun” “nobody is taking my Colt .45 away and giving me a plastic gun” But street gangs and police loved it because it was super cheap and lightweight. And held A LOT of ammo for the time.

Last year we has a run on car thefts by teens looking for guns in cars. They knew fire and city employees could not bring their guns into a building and put them in their lockers...so they were hitting their cars while they were working. What is also funny, the story about the ATF tracing many Beretta92 used in crimes disappeared. Their serial numbers indicated they were supposed to be in inventory at the Ft. Bragg Armory.

Remember when all they talked about was the Saturday Night Special?

The High Point Hundred Dollar Bill C-9 has recently been reissued. My copy of this beautiful weapon is now housed in a velvet lined display case... that cost more than the gun. This pistol is the punch line for tons of gun owners. Its quite a conversation starter, and who could ever look at this abomination and not smile!

I have sold a lot of guns over the years and a while back. The ATF contacted me and said that four of the guns that I had sold had been used in crimes they were all 22 caliber. So I guess that’s because it’s cheap lightweight. Easy to carry, but anyway, I had all the proper paperwork for my sales, and they left me alone.

Having a ring camera has been a handy thing to help with security, folks. People in the neighborhood are quick to report and post video on the app when hoods are jiggling handles. Woke me up quick!

I have to say your last few videos are home runs. It's good to see and hear these more "uncommon" topics vs. the same old reviews that everyone does. Kudos!

50% of "Traced" guns used in crimes were stolen. So these would be the most common pistols in general circulation regardless of price. 50% of "Traced" guns are not stolen. These would likely be guns used in crimes of passion or anger by their legal owner. So same as above. No one is going to go out and buy a Highpoint under their own name to do a crime because it's cheap.

My top 3 1).Hi Point 2).Taurus 3).Smith & Wesson (specifically sd9ve/sd40ve)

Guess, either glock because they get interchangeable mags, or .38 revolvers because ammo is plentiful and they are cheap and reliable.

"IF" I have to leave a gun in a vehicle, I carry a semi-auto, so I can break the gun down. I chain the frame to the seat, I carry the slide with me and I hide the magazines elsewhere in the vehicle.

it's crucial to stay informed about the realities surrounding gun theft and crime. While it's disheartening to see certain firearms making the list, it's also a reminder of the importance of responsible gun storage and ownership. Education is key in addressing these issues effectively.

Man what an interesting topic and video. Great work!

Another thing to consider is a good percentage of these “stolen guns” are also bought and reported stolen by a friend/significant other

I leave my 9mm S&W M&P 2.0 in the car all the time. I always lock the doors and park in the garage, so I’ve never really worried much about it getting stolen. I carry the shield plus.

Ruger is an awesome company. I own several Ruger firearms, my EDC is a Ruger.

Don’t surprise me at all. The most popular handguns being the most popular guns used in crime. Criminals also want their guns to work and they tend to have the money to pay for them. Also one factual inaccuracy here he stated most guns used in crimes are stolen but actually the largest category is straw sales, theft being a close 2nd.

As far as guns getting stolen out of vehicles, I know we all like out gun stickers in our windows and bumper stickers, buuuut that just screams HEY!!! There’s a real good chance there’s a gun in here. Also is you have all your stickers and you get into some road rage… the other guy calls 911 and says this guy just pointed a gun at me. Cop pulls you over and asks if you have a gun. Well… what do you think happens. Chances are you have a gun. Prove you didn’t pull it. You’re screwed.

A firearm is not traced to a crime. A firearm is traced from a crime to an FFL with the NICS system. In my opion a trace is a way that the three letter agency's try and make law abiding citizens the guilty party. A suspects finger print on said firearm and other forensic evidence convict them of a crime. The ability to trace a firearm only puts the lawful citizen on a list to later be used foe confiscation. Registration leds to confiscation.

Anybody that wants to buy a Hi Point should just add in an extra $50 and buy a Taurus G series or an RIA revolver.

I'm an old, self-admitted gun snot. But I have to say that in my limited experience with Hi-Point pistols, they've been 100% reliable and quite accurate. Not badly finished either. I don't desire one, but if it's what you can afford go for it. A guy I shoot with just bought one brand-new for $130 from a store, not a private sale! Shoots great.

guessing...Taurus

Great video thanks for the history lesson

Most of those brainless thugs cant even spell glock.

Most guns on the street aren't stolen out of somebody's vehicle or house. Late 80s and early 90s guys from NY/NJ/PA would just head down to Virginia (closest state you could do it) and have non felons buy up a bunch of guns, file down the SN and bring them up north. Out west there was the Larson firearm scandal where employees were taking and selling trunks full of new guns right from the factory and selling them on the street. Then there were ghost gun, the black market knock offs and where did they steal the "switches" that nearly every street kid has access to today? Point is there aren't enough guns to be stolen to account for the sheer number of guns in these streets . If you think MOST guns on the street come from car/home burglaries I have ocean front property in Nebraska to sell you

This was a very interesting topic and you handled the issues concerning firearms in this subject really well. I want to note something I noticed in the footage at 6:45 of that car break-in. The thief has a long object in his hand and it looks like he "shims" the door lock, as in sliding it between the glass and the door pull the lock up, rather than the owner having left the car unlocked. The other point I want to mention is I think the association between cheap guns and crime is simply that in the criminal world guns are disposable. The longer you keep the same firearm the "hotter" it gets, and at some point you need to dump it. So if they're buying they buy cheap so it's not a big loss when they inevitably dump it, and as far as stolen guns, I suspect people are 1. keener to secure their fancier pricier firearms, and 2. people who can only afford low-cost firearms may unfortunately not be able to afford much security for that firearm.

I would imagine Glock would be the number one, especially now that you can get a fun switch for it. Albeit illegal criminals don't care.

I was ashamed to claim that my Hi point was stolen. Was afraid the police would make fun of me. 😢. Lol God bless and keep our country safe from the evils of the world.

Guess: Hi-point, cheapest one can lose.

I can’t imagine any burglar of domiciles and automobiles leaving any unsecured firearm. I recall the most popular gang weapon in San Diego, maybe even SoCal back in the 90s when semi auto Centerfire bans were getting all the attention was the Marlin tube fed .22. #10 on the list was The Club. Safes and travel lock boxes tethered to vehicles may actually slow them or maybe even prevent thefts. For what it’s worth, I don’t subscribe to the concept of “truck gun” anymore due to the potential of theft. Even in the country, unattended, unsecured firearms are not safe thanks to meth.

I've had Glock pistols since my first gen 3 model 23 in the 90s! And never looked back! I trust my and my family's life with them!

someone who can only afford one gun and has to buy a high-point will be very careful not to lose it!

Wow... I can't imagine leaving a firearm in an unlocked vehicle. I could never allow myself to leave mine in a vehicle regardless, locked up with an alarm, in a garage or anything. I guess mistakes happen though 🤦‍♂️

I'm going with S&W . It's what I carry and most my friends own . Mainly due to their tiered pricing model fitting most any budget . So that would mean more to steal from houses and cars . I live in Seattle and see LOTS of them in evidence photos . But also see some crazy oddball guns you'd never expect . Stuff from the 30's and 40's even .

Bottom line, criminals will hurt people, if they don't have guns they'll use a knife, a machete, a car, a hammer, a blunt object or some part of their body. I've lived all over the world and when I'm not in the US I have to behave completely differently because I'm a sitting duck feeling totally defenseless. Crime is a numbers, wrong word, but game. The more guns from any manufacturer that are in the flow of humanity the more bad things are going to happen. Keep in mind that the Soviet AK47 is by far and away the most murderous and violent firearm in the entire history of the world. I like AKs mostly because of being GenX and the Swayze, Sheen Red Dawn. AKs are in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, SE Asia, China, name it, there are so many AKs in the world and they will shoot even if you leave them in the rain for a couple of years. Here's the problem, though, you can't really be an AK guy unless you own a machine shop or know someone who does. Plus, given the state of technology, you have to essentially duct tape an optic on them to get them up with the times. I love Rob and the AK Operators' Union and Herrera but I can get a PA awesome optic for under 500 bucks and have no real ability to use it on my AKs without sacrificing something about the AK that makes an AK cool. I know the Soviets were broke but they literally did zero innovation on their platform since 1974.

I was gonna guess Hi-Point or Glock for #1. I also agree you're much better off saving the extra 30-50 bucks to buy a G3, G3C, G2C than a SCCY..........simply not worth it.

Just Watching: My guess for brand is Taurus and Ruger. My guess for types is almost all Pistols in the realm of .22, .380, and 9 mm's. . .

I still.have my stainless Taurus PT-99 9mm. First semi I ever bought, in 1988 (I was die hard on revolvers upto that point). It was one of those built off the old Beretta machinery in Brazil. To this day, a few thousand rounds and years of duty use later I absolutely love that gun. I've moved along primarily to Ruger, FN and HKs since, but that old PT-99 will stay in my family for generations.

My guesses were Glock and Hi-Point. I was surprised that one of those wasn't on the list at all :)

Seems like leaving inop firearms exposed in vehicles might be a great crime prevention program, sooner or later they'd give up on trying to find one that works....

I knew it was gonna be Glock because of how many Glock 17s are out there, especially as police standard issue.

Carried an HK4 .380 for a while. Like its bigger brother better.

I had 3 vehicles broken into over 5 years. 2 at work & one at home during the day. I never keep my guns in my car. Every week I watch surveillance videos posted online of thugs in my neighborhood walking through the alley pulling on car door handles. One guy reported his gun stolen because he forgot to lock his car doors. Some people think they'll just keep a cheap gun in the car & it's no big deal when it gets stolen. It is a big deal. They just armed another felon. Yes, criminals don't care if it's a Hi-Point or SCYY.

KZfaq ads are taking over to stop this video and others.

Haven't seen the video yet but let me guess... HiPoint, Taurus GX 9mm, and the good ole trusty SW SDVE 9mm. I hope I'm right with at least 2 of them.😂😂😂 Or maybe a Lorcin, Jennings, or Jimenez.

GLOCK….. somethings!!!’ 😂

"Even the crooks avoid hi-point"...

My state prohibits leaving a firearm in a vehicle unattended unless it is secured. We have constitutional carry, but some places it is illegal to carry them. I have lock boxes cabled to my seat frame in every vehicle.

I definitely think the S&W shield is a perfect truck gun… I always carry mine in a ankle holster… even if I’m in my pjs… thanks buddy…

Taurus has had ties with Beretta, FN, Browning, S&W, Rossi, etc. Browning's 9mm BDA was made by Beretta and often in the Brazilian Beretta factory. Taurus got that BDA tooling when they got the factory. The first Browning BDA I ever saw, I was with my dad and we were looking for just SA Hi Power and this pawn shop jerk lays a Brazilian made BDA out on the counter. It was a big WTFITS moment for me and dad both. We left. No sale.

Most of the gang members in today’s cities really like 40 sw Glocks. Or FN’s. But I’m sure a lot of ar pistols and Draco’s / AKs are heavy in circulation

I "Heard" and do think it is true, the bad guys will steal anything, many times have problems getting the right ammo, and last but not lease & very believable-they do not clean or maintain. This could be to our bennifit,as I have heard, they do have malfunction etc. This may be one of the reasons, criminals do not care. They are hoping it will go bang, and sometimes does not.

If we go back long enough, Jennings/Jiminez/Bryco were some of the classic 'saturday night specials' because of how dirt cheap they were. Answer is always whatever is cheap or commonly stolen. Criminals aren't gonna pay HK money to knock over a gas station for $86.37, they'll either get cheapest used firearm available, or steal whatever is there.

Lots of 'cheap' guns get bought for quick flip to prohibited persons and reported stolen. Local case, someone bought several Hi-points at one time and they all got stolen according to purchaser when they started showing up at crime scenes.

Good list. When u said Glock and Rap u should also have mentioned movies & video games. Every major movie has guns as a focal point, and video games with guns are more influential than Rap music. Rap may have brought attention to Glock but moves and Hollywood are also are in the mix

Desert eagle 50? Damn, i tried lol

I think we are missing the point here some times. It’s not really the gun, but the owner and the thief. The best full size gun safe that you can fit your Barrett into cost less than $1000! You and I probably have over $30,000 invested in firearmsalone and another 30 K invested in ammunition. The first thing I bought when I decided to have my firearms at home was the most unbreakable safe ever built! A word to the wise should be sufficient.

Ha! I was just about to say that! Some folks always leaving their firearms in their vehicles all the time.

My guess is Ruger Mark series or some other .22 LR. Back in the day there was this concept of the “Saturday Night Special” crime gun - basically any cheap revolver - but they don’t really make that type of gun any more.

Talking about the Taurus version of the 92, I have a Taurus PT92 and I love it. Fantastic gun. If you ever see one for a decent price, scoop it up. You won't regret it.

I never leave a gun in the car. When guys break into cars they are looking for guns.

supposedly the Glocks would not set off some metal detectors in the 80s because they had a lot less steel/aluminum than most other handguns and the metal detectors used then were not very good(remember they didn't really use them at all for security purposes until the mid-70s).

Can't think of 5 but I have 3. Glock, high point, and 10/22 . Simply for the fact I think it is the most sold 22 out there.

Why is it that beretta is used in every movie or on the news as the weapon used in every crime you ever notice this

As a 20+ year police officer, I agree with absolutely everything you said about not leaving guns in cars. In my time is a patrol officer, I took the stolen reports, and during my time as a homicide detective I worked the homicides where people were killed with guns stolen from cars.

Guess: Taurus G2 or HiPoint

I feel attacked. Got a few sw sd series, to ruger, to sccy lol....and yes some range toy hi points and a taurus lol

Taurus, because of price point and proliferation for those looking for a "viable truck/car gun" where most guns are stolen from.

I guessed correctly, although I had 2 in mind. I assumed Glock because of the popularity. My second guess was Hi-Point, just because they're cheap and (sorry for the following assumption) probably used most by lower-income people in not-so-good neighborhoods.

Guessing SD9ve, Glock 19 with an auto sear, and those cheap sky things, and thos ugly grip zone things..

Heritage . 22's or Hi point is my guess. The new Saturday Night Special

Heh, I love how your wife can handle a 10mm with ease while the FBI complained about it hurting their writs.....

I’m guessing hi-point and 22lr.

Do you think guns plastered with flags are tacky?

Even the crooks dont want hi point..😂 .

I purchased a gun safe for my f-150. Works great and d Feel a bit safer with it.

It's interesting PSA is not in there. Could it be responsible ownership?

Guess - either Glock or Remington (guessing a lot of shotguns get stolen because of easy access, and there’s just tons on Glocks in existence)

If most guns used in crimes are stolen And most stolen guns get stolen from cars I suppose we have to ask why are so many left in cars? I would argue with concealed permits being impossible to get on places like California and New York as well as gun free zones popping up like daisies forces people to gamble a felony or gamble losing a gun Personally I'd rather have my gun on me than in my car I feel like a car is a terrible place for a gun to be unattended

Budget gun? PSA.

How do we know your guns aren't stolen huh

I got to say the Taurus might be the new one for this decade especially the G series.

Taurus, Cheap and works mostly used as car gun, during most smash and grab your not losing out on much.

many are thefts from stores, leaving an unsecured firearm in a vehicle is pretty stupid, some idiot came up with the idea truck gun and sold every dummy out there on it, basic training for god sakes teaches even the dumbest troop to secure their weapon

It might be more fair to say it's like blaming Chevy or Ford for drag racing accidents. As though drag racing is the only reason to by a Chevy or Ford.

Naa, no way they can be traced. There's no gun registry! 😅

Mine stays on me at all times until I’m home.

I would bet Glock, just as I would guess the most common vehicle in a drunk driving accident would be an f150.

You wouldn't be sitting with a video camera in yer mug if it weren't for GLOCK. Sing along now: 🎼🎶Glock glock bo glock, 🎵🎶banana bama go glock,🎶🎵 bee by bo block, GLOCK🎶🎵‼️

I thought most guns used were 80% percent ghost guns

I remember there was a gun involved in a crime in Milwaukee it was Trace back to the FBI and there was another one that was Trace back to the ATF they were reported as stolen

Hi Point didn't make the list because they suck so much they're not used in crimes... they're more like hood bartering chips

Strum Ruger and Glocks. I remember when it was Lorcin, Bryco, Jenning, Stalard (Hi-Point) RG Rhome. 🤣🤣🤣

So first is Springfield and second is .22lr...I thought this was going to be actual weapons

Guess: Hi Point! It's cheap and it works!
