Very true, I have the XL. A holster that covers the trigger is a MUST. It is a very light trigger for a striker fire. It makes shooting it quite nice though.

He canik TP9. Is a great choice

Cz p10c is an better choice hands down

Although it would be unlikely somebody would be able to take your handgun, the Blackhawk has the pro of if you arent familiar with guns it is somewhat complex to operate. So somebody who might take it may not be able to use it in their favor.

Hey Paul I really appreciate your videos and you giving us your years and years of experience some new gun owners can only go off our own research which a lot of times is biased based on the source or we can go off other people's experiences and I love hearing your point of view on firearms thank you for your time as always keep up the good work

Same here. The "boring part" is usually filled with wisdom. The other parts are just information.

When Paul Harrell goes to donate blood, he declines the syringe, and instead requests a hand gun and a bucket.

@@philais wrong, he'd have a presentation on which gun he would use to collect blood.

Me too, I never skip it

I love the boring part.

Always been watching the back catalogue. Too good

Yes, I am rewatching many of Paul's presentations.

Yep same here. He's a perennial favorite.

who ever stopped? ;(

@@SPIKESPIEGEL1969 yeah unless some crazy revolutions happen in the firearms industry happens soon this information is timeless

as a gun guy smith and dealer of 25+ years , a beretta 92 is STILL my favorite pistol platform

If you can battle umbrella and the t/g virus with the beretta than it’s good enough for me

@@clintsingleton3846 The 92FS and the P226 both passed all the military testing. They’re both great pistol designs. Having shot both on several occasions, I prefer the Beretta. It helps if the one you’re shooting isn’t a worn out, beat up, old, unmaintained one.

@@clintsingleton3846 worth noting that beretta produces guns in both Italy and the US, and that the Italian ones are known for high quality but beretta USA is infamous for churning out a lot of crap. Beretta USA supplied some of our military M9s, so I think between that and the sheer amount of time they were being used and not replaced goes a long way towards explaining why so many people have such diverse opinions on it with very little middle ground.

@@clintsingleton3846 I enjoyed shooting it while I was in. A lot of them are really beat up and not maintained properly though, that's more of a marine issue than it is an issue with the pistol itself lol

As a city dwelling Australian, I feel the same.

I skipped to 11:52

Lone_Condor Yep.. I stayed in class too. 😉

Exactly. There are no boring parts.

He's like every hot chick that thinks she's ugly

Coat of holstering

His pocket contains the gun room from The Matrix

Paul Harrell's jacket is like Deadpool's magic bag full of guns. Hmm... there's an idea. A Paul Harrell and Deadpool crossover.

Switzerland is actually located in the game bag. They just claim it's in Europe because it's easier to explain.

Paul’s pocket is actually a “bag of holding”.

couldn't agree more

You know Paul is ol school...he keeps that Army issue earplug case snapped on his bottomless pocket jacket! Love it!

There are lot's of others talking about some weird dooms day forecasts and recommending weapons for that scenerio. Lots of BS to generate clicks, but i still enjoy the weapon content that comes along with it.

@@kolyapankratz8616 Was about to comment the exact same thing. Those channels are great!

@@chadhaire1711 exactly. There are worse offenders out there, those guys are the cream of the crop for dipshits.

My profession was in mental health so I understand how likely this one could be...LOL...I did have my life threatened more than once by folks who thought I was someone else when they were psychotic...

I believe this really happened to Paul, he’s mentioned it before.

Some lives are more exciting than others.

I make my living as a locksmith. You'd be surprised at the number of clients I've had (widely spread out over Texas and New Mexico) that have the same story about little people that live in their ceiling coming down and stealing their keys during the night. I've even had a mother/daughter tag team that lined their rooms with foil to keep out the CIA's "listening rays" and wanting high security locks to keep the CIA and drug cartels from picking their locks.Yeah, these people are out there, and not few and far between. And don't even get me started about the lady with little people living in her sofa who had a "doctor" poop in her hands while performing an operation at her dining room table. True stories.

you joke but I've had it happen...scary encounter

Fact. He also doesn't tell you that you need to buy this or that. This is what he likes. Take it or leave it.

bad analogy, you see 'gold standards' only apply to currency

oof that sounds unpleasant, did you call the cops on him?

So true in many places

99.9% of statisticians, will not buy that shirt.

Accurate quotes are even harder.

100% of people are people.

How about this one: There’s liars, then damn liars and then there’s statistics.

@@mpp7010 Classic!

I can't remember ever getting bored when Paul talks.

Just once I want to see Paul say, "I invite you to skip ahead to where you see me in the low ready with a handgun." (Pause) "Nah, just kidding. Let's get to shooting!" But I'll never skip one of his "boring" parts. I'm here to learn, not just watch someone shoot better than I ever will.

Where I live people don't even have guns, yet I still enjoy listening to harrel I don't know what it is he's just so professional in all his videos and he doesn't tolerate any BS.

that’s when someone has a negligent discharge and then proceeds to blame it on the handgun

In my younger days, I wanted to sell men's colognes scented like Hoppes No 9 and WD 40

Hoppes No 9 favorite aftershave, Paul Harrell.

hahaha...this made me literally LOL! I needed it so thank you sir!

I use Diesel Kleen myself. Hard to fight the women off!

@@chuckaddison5134 I actually wear wd40 as a cologne. No joke at all. I wish went into that venture as id be your number one customer. Add in that pine tree car air freshener scent and you'd be rich!

NO, he keeps telling us that he is not expecting us to copy him, unlike weird peter principal academics

Well that's because they are recommendations. I understand Paul doesn't want to present his opinions as facts or get into arguments with people over them and that's why he gives those disclaimers, but just a glimpse at a dictionary shows us: recommend put forward (someone or something) with approval as being suitable for a particular purpose or role. That describes the video pretty accurately. Saying it's "not a recommendation" while giving recommendations is bit of a cop out, like having your cake and eating it too. I get why he'd do it, but I think the "my training, my experience..." disclaimer should be sufficient by itself.

Treat the main stream news like that and you will be better off.

It's tough code but you cracked it!

Everyone's needs are different. I live in Texas, so my XDM 9mm 3.8 compact is not the best carry gun for me, as I am thin, usually wear light clothes. It prints loudly and its not very light in my opinion. It is however accurate and very reliable. It will work great in the winter when I'll actually carry it everywhere.

@@poika22 Hey poika, these are NOT recommendations. I'm showing the guns that I have and not suggesting that you should buy any of them. Did you really think I was suggesting that you should buy a Steyr?

Come with me if you want to live! To quote another 80s flick :)

Then people spam comments saying “ACKSHULLEE HES STILL RECOMMENDING GUNS STILL BY USING BLANK BLANK BLANK” even though he shows such a diverse amount of guns and explains so many contextual bits that shooters may not know about

Strangely I've never seen a hate comment on any of Paul's videos. Can a video poster delete them? I wouldn't know, I've never posted a video.

​@lesflynn4455 dunno abt that however fellow commenters could report and yt in my experience has been proficient all of that said the hate mails i believe is constant.

Nope.

Oh, I caught it and had a good laugh, and Paul was right!

@@RichWhiteUM Glad Paul does not.

It has ammunition that can be expensive and hard to find.

Who didn't? But that statement comes with a caveat: That's His opinion. His opinion is based on His training, His education, His experience, and different people have different experiences so they have different opinions, and He makes no claim that His opinion has its origin in the mind of greatness. That should cover it. As an aside, I think capitalizing the personal pronouns is proper for Gods in any field, no?

Yeah, but who's JohnnyB? I know Yankee Marshall but I don't think I know Johnny B. But seeing as Paul said he's actually good at taking about gun politics I'd very much like to know

@@forestcampbell8962 🤣

I just got here from that video🤣

Good gawd. Only true fans will get the reference. Hats off, sir.

An all-steel Commander is my carry of choice as well.

Also in Deep South on a long sandbar. I selected pocket carry for overall comfort and convenience.

I carry a 1911 Colt XSE open and concealed. I've done so for the last 20 years. Prior to Texas implementing our CHL, I was carrying a .44mag Redhawk about the farm, and later concealed. But with a 7.5" barrel, it was pretty obvious when carrying in a shoulder holster.

That's great that it works for you. I do carry a full size most of the time. There have been times where if I got caught with a gun would have meant I would be fired, even though it wasn't illegal, it was against company policy. Always a good thing to have a small option, even when preference is for bigger.

I LOVE my government model Colt. I live in CT, so mag capacity is of no consequence. The slim design makes it easy to conceal even with my slight frame and the thing is accurate as heck.

Yes he is 👼🏾

You do god's work, son

Ruger still has the convertible Blackhawks in their online catalog. Available in a pretty wide variety of offerings and calibers. Very good gun. I sure regret ever selling mine.

Hearing him ramble off lists of ammunition without stuttering is always impressive to me, I'd read it off the box and probably still not be able to say it as fast as harrel can

Brian Kopp High IQ for sure.

kiloscott Thanks, genius. Pretty sure I know that. I’ve heard him say it 100 times. The point is his unique ability to know this stuff and recite it from memory. Not 2 out of 100 professional firearms instructors can do it like he does.

Ben Manning for me it goes in this order 1911 < browning hp < cz75, they’re all great guns but each are improvements on the other

But what about the Jet Li maneuver? Aren't you concerned about roving gangs of karate experts?

Matt KissMyassSocialist Why didnt you just get the real thing? The fit and finish is way better and has a great trigger

For good reason.

100%

.40 has always been on the shelves whenever I walked through my local shops here starting March.

@@yosemitesamiam all my glocks are in .40. It's stupidly stigmatized and available even in the worst times, 9mm not so much

@Fman1292 you got lucky! I loaded up 7.62x39 in the first week of march but I didn't think much about my shotguns, now im regretting it :/

@@jackbrink9898 I cant trust .40 ever since I had an entire box not penetrate a metal 55 gallon drum, would it still punch through a person still? yes, but out of a 16" PCC it was a tough pill to swallow. I choose 9mm because of how common it is. I can order a few boxes of non jacketed lead easier than hoping the store has a 20 round box in stock. Different strokes though, if something can stop a 9mm it will stop a .40 or .45

*Jackets Paul has several, like a cartoon character opening his wardrobe. **g** There is a video specifically on the jackets. He has one for his black powder shooting where he can just put it on and has all he needs. Just go to his channel page and search with the loupe for "jacket".

Sid P There a complete and perfect arsenal inside that jacket 😉😁😄😉

YOU WERE THE JUDGE!

I used Wilson parts to upgrade my surplus 92S. It's like a new gun. If people aren't used to working on guns I would recommend paying them for a complete gun.

Since when are they only $2000? Lol

Then you are not going to get bragging rights.

Well, race guns and custom jobs do have their niche, I mean I own a couple myself. But we're talking EDC here, I'm not carrying something that cost as much as a good used car that might end up in an evidence locker if I ever have to use it to defend myself.

Figure if you are going to EDC a firearm, there is an almost 100% certainty it will be confiscated if you have to use it. Would you rather lose a several thousand dollar custom job or a $600-$700 or less factory pistol?

They are both vets.

That part wasn't even boring lol

The boring part is when the video is over, and we have to wait a while before a new video comes out again.

I am sorry. I am confused. Which part was boring? Can I have a detailed analysis on why that part was boring?

Agreed...when Paul says "boring part" I grab a coffee and settle in.....

A .17HMR, .22LR or .25ACP through the pharynx is a whole lot more effective than a .50AE six inches over the target's head, and also less dangerous to everyone else within about two miles behind the target.

Ohhhhhhh the golden deagle sooo nice though hahaha

Same here summer here in Phoenix means my LCP2 is my EDC. Spring and Fall it’s my Security9. We don’t have winter here!

I carry mine every day, it makes a great backup gun in the winter time too.

Ralph Lucas. Definitely not much of a winter in Phoenix but it gets chilly up in Springerville where I’m from, I grew up in Phoenix but I was born in springerville still got my grandmas house up there it’s a nice summer get a way.

Same thing here in Texas. Hot as hell in the summer but my little LCP II is a dream to carry in light clothing. I rock the same outfit, Gym Shorts, T Shirt and Flip Flops. As Paul says, "Program Compliance".

Same reason I carry an lcp. I can just drop it in my pocket and forget about it. Whether in gym shorts, or jeans. About the same silhouette as a cell phone when in its holster. Don’t want to change how I dress to carry.

Yall see Johnny B's vid where he said Mr Paul should run for office because of his intelligence?

That was pretty funny. 😂

People have to adjust to their circumstances. My clothing (uniform) and work make having anything but a tiny pistol on my person impossible. My hands are simply too big to allow me to use a tiny pistol. Hell, my friend showed me a .380 he has, and was wondering if it would be the right thing to use to put down his sick dog. He was thinking about doing a double tap on the back of the dog's neck. He wanted me to go along with him to do the job if he couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger. As such, I tried the pistol in my hand and was very uncomfortable with trying to grip it and work the trigger. I also was uncomfortable with the idea of trying to instantly kill the dog with FMJ ammo out of the little cartridge. I told him we'd use a better choice for the job, and introduced him to my Smith and Wesson 4506 and the Glaser Safety Slugs. I told him that it would be the best choice for the job at hand, and it was. A single round into the back of the head put the dog out of his misery in half an instant. My friend was concerned that there could be more suffering from a bad shot placement, which is why he was thinking about the double tap with the .380 and FMJ ammo. At the moment of truth, the Glaser did its job. Like switching off a light. It's something I took no pleasure in doing, but it's something I was able to do by blocking out the emotions and going to a matter of fact, job that had to be done, and done right attitude. We completed the job with a short burial and returned home. I kept my emotions in check, while my friend drove home. He was very mixed in his own emotions. I thought he might break down over the death of his dog, but he didn't at that time. He was more impressed than I expected with the killing performance. He expected some type of suffering response to the shot. The instant shutdown surprised him. He was extremely relieved that there was no suffering beyond the constant pain from an inoperable tumor.
