Not gonna lie, the "why 1911s" video is so calming. Sometimes I just toss it on for background music. It's like mind yoga or something.

Bro! I just watched the 1911 video a couple nights ago and I was literally touched. I was raised on the 1911 by a father who spent time in Korea with a 1911 on his hip and he always instilled in me that if it’s not a .45 it ain’t shit and if it’s not a 1911 it’s lot a real .45. God love him. Miss you dad.

For the people that can't watch the full video : 1. Glock 19 2. USP 3. Colt Revolver 4. Beretta 92FS 5. 1911

Glad you included the Beretta 92. Hard to imagine, but it seems under appreciated these days. It carries a lot of beauty and ingenuity in its design that is often overlooked. It has stood the test of time well.

Sig P226 should be on the list 😅 Agree about the Glock, revolver, and 1911 for sure

😂Come on man! Number one should be a Heritage Rough Rider! 100 bucks every Thanksgiving and Christmas for years except during Covid. A $30 box of 500 rounds of cheap 22ir ammo and Saturday afternoon you are golden.

11:08 Paul Harrell gave us the wisdom that we should always carry separate flashlights from our guns. Many situations that require a flashlight in public are NOT situations that you want to whip out your CCW.

I love this channel. Just talking about guns, not being too nerdy, talking about your actual opinions that you don’t feel the need to justify other than “this is how I feel,” not afraid to hurt feelings. Thanks for being some homies.

The P7 is kraut perfection.

You must own one reliable gun that you are proficient with period.

Even with the blur I could tell that was a 92. That’s how sexy the lines on a beretta are.

My two favorite pistols, Colt Python and 1911......this list was legit!

No CZ love 😢

When I taught my son to shoot pistol, we had my full collection to try… Beretta 92, SIG P320, SW M&P 2.0, Glock 19, Kahr P9, and Kimber Custom Target. He loved that Kimber 1911 most. My heart was full hearing him say that. It remains my favorite as well.

Holding a 92FS watching Die Hard is the type of shit I do all the time 🇺🇸 🦅

I finally got my first 1911 picked it up monday a dan wesson pm-745, ive always loved the way 1911's looked but that video he brings up realpy drove me to buy it, cant wait to purchase more!

I lol'd right at the beginning with the pixel-blur 😂 good stuff

I remember the letter from Mrr. Rob well.Yep, teared up a little. Beautifully told. Wish you could see some of my old work. It too had soul with a strong following in the high end collectors world because of it. KnifeMaker/Retired after over 47+ Years in the Craft

Hit the nail right on the head.The 1911 is iconic you can just stare at one and see the craftsmanship that went into building it.

I’ll never forget my uncle who passed away this year, his gold cup he used to shot competition in the 80s for a while and I can still feeling that trigger and that weight and I fell in love the 1911. I shot that gun a couple weeks ago with my cousin and it brought back so many memories of him and that 1911. Wow. Thank god for John Moses Browning. I own 2 shitty 1911’s and one old one I got from cmp. I believe that from the cheapest 1911 to the Gucci 1911 everyone should own at least one (or 20) because they are the bomb!

I almost cried at the end there….but then I remembered I’m a man. That said I appreciate the car comparisons. 1911 is next on the list of purchases.

Why are we making a list of must own pistols with no CZ75?

Holly sh..t men the last 5 minutes of this video really hit my heart. After more than 115 years the 1911 trigger still the best, God bless America and bless you too! Thank you!

1911, .357, Glock, FN Five Seven, CZ 75b. Honorable mention, Desert Eagle .50

The Beretta 92 was my first gun in my collection that I bought simply for the nostalgia of it. For me it’s Martin Riggs’ gun. The one I found was a G model that has LAPD cage markings on the mags and had still working night sights for being a 2008 produced gun. The only thing I added to it were slim G10 grips, put in a Wilson Combat shortened trigger kit and removed the lanyard loop.

I own nothing but Sig Saurer's and Smith & wessons. They never fail me.

Another outstanding video! Great choices too. I have all but one.

VP9 was made for the civilian market. That's why it's the VP9- Volks Pistale 9mm People's pistol, 9mm

It’s official now…according to Jake I’m gun guy. I own a Glock 40, HK45, Dan Wesson .357, Beretta LTT and a CMP 1911A1. I’ve never felt so much pride.

First time watching your material. Great list of guns. Keep up the good work.

Damn straight!! Great list!!

Cz shadow 2 or 1 or sp01 DWX or Tactical sport 2 Cz p10s ( for EDC ) Cz 97 .45 Cz Kadet 22lr Maximum hipster.

The video actually starts at 19:33.

Been collecting firearms for over 45yrs and only own 2 off your list. Several 1911s and several Colt revolvers. I might buy a Beretta 92 someday to round out my US military pistol lineage collection.

Awesome video!! Legit list.

Gun # 1 hurt my soul, but you recovered with #2.

I think for 60% everyone else 1)1911 45acp 2)G19 3)Sw686 4)226 or cz75 5)Your actual favorite handgun.

Not gonna lie, that 1911 montage hit me right in the feels.

I don't own most of these guns, but I own something very similar to each one. 1. Walther PDP 2. Sig P226 3. S&W Model 19 4. CZ75 BD 5. Springfield 1911

You should review a stealth arms 1911 now that they make single stack 1911s, there is almost 0 reviews about them especially from the bigger Gun channels

1. 1911 4.25 barrel 2. 1911 5 inch barrel 3. STI 2011 4. OG Colt any length 5. Tisas Raider or just any 1911 in the price range

Great video. Definitely confirms I'm on the right track with what I want...

Can’t agree more about the 1911 I just picked up an older stainless Springfield armory 1911 .45 long slide and I’m counting down the time until my range opens today

I have shot and trained with enough glocks to know they bore me and I don't see the need to own one. H&K are like having Vegan options on a menu, I'm sure someone cares and I'm happy for them, I just don't care. The two pistols my Dad carried when I was a kid was either a Dan Wesson in .357 or an old Army 1911 made in the 1940s. The first pistol my Dad gave me to practice with and shoot local matches was a Taurus 92. So I have a soft spot for the 92s, either the Italian or the Brazilian.

Eh... Ive owned 3 USPs, you can keep them. Ill substitute a Browning Buckmark for the HK slot. Also not a huge fan of the 19. I have 4 currently, but I've always preferred the fullsize, or the subcompact size. Im pretty ok with everything else...

Great list. Well done

I would replace the Glock with the spring field echelon, for $50-$100$ more you can get better sights, better grip, better texturing, better Magwell, gas pedal, take down level,ambidextrous, better slide release, trigger cuts for deeper grip, and if your lucky you can get a threaded barrel option. And if you wanna make a stock Glock to be the same as a stock echelon you have to throw hundreds of dollars at it, vs spending 50-100 bucks more and getting the echelon which comes with everything a modern day factory pistol should be.

You must own at least 5 glock 19's

Tonight on 1911 Syndicate: The Bersa Thunder 40 returns to torment Jake, Crispy dabbles in Japanese Adult filming style, and 164K subscribers will have completely different gun list, because the only thing gun owners agree with is that everyone else is wrong and stupid.

Excellent video 😎

Great list!

My list: 1) 1911 2) 1911 3) 1911 4) 1911 5) Let me think… oh yeah 1911

1. AR-15 2. Glock 19 3. Mossberg 590 4. Remington 700 5. M1 Garand

To sum it up... Glocks are soulless and all 1911's go to heaven! Great video - I resonate with the last 6 mins; art, craft and mechanical purity is the epitome and culmination of what makes me a gun guy.

Glock is the top pistol in the category of "pistols that do not come with pride of ownership"

I love how the theatrical music starts when the 1911 is introduced.

g19x / 45 cz 75 p01 1911 p365 variety - macro grip with XL slide preferred revolver

CZ Shadow 2

My list - not in order: Sig P226 in .357 Sig, 92FS in 9mm, Ruger Gp100 in .357 mag and (surprise) Walter PP S M2 in 9mm. In the hunt for a 10mm 1911 to complete the collection. Great review!

Glock is that girl who may not be prettiest but when you get her home she gets it done! In the morning you can take her out to breakfast and not be embarrassed to be seen with her!

Thankfully, I don't care if others think of me as a gun guy or not based on what I own... I've got more trigger time than majority of those that would judge, and can probably outshoot them anyway. I'm more concerned with training than what gucci piece I'm carrying anyway.

Swap the USP with a 226 and I think this list is spot on (especially if you can replace a Glock with any modern striker pistol).

I own or have owned just about every pistol mentioned on the list. But, I think the Browning Hi-Power should be considered, I own an FEG Mod.GKk-45C which is a clone of the Hi-Power chambered in 45 ACP. I am not a fanboy of Glocks, had a 36 and traded it for a Ruger New Vaquero 45 long Colt. As far as Beretta, I have to go with the M9 it’s the military version of 92FS and it’s made in the US. And yes everyone should have a 1911. One of my 1911’s is a Kimber tactical pro ll my EDC. Great show , 1911 syndicate one of my favorite KZfaq channels.

Sig P320

This made me go and get my 1911 out and get it ready to wear tomorrow! Such great videos guys

You guys are quickly becoming the top gear of the gun world.. love the content

Nicely done

Love the 1911 section! I own a CMP 1911 that was from WWII. Awesomeness! Great job Jake!

In 1989 i purchased my Glock 22 Gen.#1 was a Must! Loved it from the start! My USPSD9mm I traded a full custom AR-15 for 2009,I love the safety/decocker and run it like a 1911 cocked and Locked! My Colt Python 6"was my First Gun Period 1980!The Berette 92FS was a gift from my Dad! and my Colt Gold Cup came in 1993! Still have Em Too! Only 1 missing, the Browning Hi-Power is in there somewhere! The 1911 IS the Premier Handgun of the last 113years

Awesome vid

You are spot on with these 5 picks 👍🏾🇺🇸👏🏾

The watch analogy is spot on. Great quote: "A well made 1911 is mechanical art in the form of a handgun."

Great Video Man. Agreed

That did bring a tear to my one good eye.... 1.Magnum Research 5"1911 by Bul Armory 2. FNX45 T 3. H&K P30 4. Ruger SP101 5. FN509T

I was in the military and I carried both the 1911 and the M9 (92fs) and I own both. I was surprised that I had every gun on your list and for the very reason you stated. I have a glock 19 that I never shoot. I took it in trade from a buddy and I refuse to get rid of it. I don't even like it but I respect that it will shoot any time you pick it up and pretty dang accurate. I'm just old school and 1911 or browning high-power are more my liking. I'm a big fan of the old school sigs 220 - 232 yes I have em all. Thanks for the video. Glad to onow I'm not crazy or at least there are others that are on the insane plane with me

This is an excellent video.

The absolute best, most reliable, and the ultimate elite handguns are made by 1 company: SIG SAUER. Every thing else is sub-standard, hands down; nuff said. ACCEPT NOTHING BUT THE BEST EVER..

My first three guns are on the list, Beretta 92FS, HK USP (45 ACP) and Glock (G23). I currently own all 5 although my top 5 list might vary a little.

Great vid... love the Microtech hat.

😂😂😂😂😂 I swear you took the thoughts right out of my head from my first! I am a very seasoned shooter…. Or so I thought. I own 80 weapons… i own most of the major players.I am a state certified trainer. Having never handled the platform, picking one up for the first time was almost magical… shooting them, especially one of high quality is poetic. While I’ll alway appreciate all the others for what 2 bring to the table, I am forever hooked!!

Jake said he could not stomach their old videos. Man your videos are spot on.,each one.. The videos you guys made and make are informative. I can't buy the guns you feature because its expensive and because of your reviews I get to see what are the pros and cons.Then I decide if i should save for it.. Chris blau knows i bought another 1911 because of you guys.The beauty and mechanics of a 1911 is just unmatched.. And your videos are honest and entertaining... Thats why I love you guys and continue to support you. BTW if I can get the same USP pistol here in my country, Id get it. Still waiting for another review from you guy..If it happens.The Taurus G3 Tactical..😁

And now my urge to own a 92FS is back. I mean it when I say thank you.

Like the video and couldn’t agree more. My 1911 is my dad’s Army issued Colt from 1944. It’s my favorite for several reason and there’s not a gun I own that I like more. It’s like that 57’ Chevy pulling up at the light at the range, folks want to drive it. Great video. Thanks.

“They’re Cheap And They Work - The Glock Family”

I have 2 1911s, my 70 ser. that I had in the military when we switched over to the 92 (a sad day indeed) and an Alpha Foxtrot (Duluth, GA. ) in 10mm which is like butter to run, not cheap by any means but worth it, all the same and I have Glocks (G3 17 and a couple 21s plus a Mech Tech, M4 carbine conversion), a Keltec .380 pocket pistol I absolutely love which can be carried anywhere, anytime in 30 different ways and something I think absolutely should have been on the list as it's the quintessential, LE/military go to of the planet, we'll built, smooth running, accurate and easy to shoot, you guessed it... The Browning Hi Power (the "improved 1911"), so named as it was the first pistol to hold 13+1 rds. I have two "T" series, one in a beautiful blue and one Parkerized with G10 grips that's an absolute work mule. You can do so much with them to turn them into truly amazingly smooth shooting, reliable pistols and yet, they're terrific right out of the box. You like the HKs (I do, too) but I went the other route with the FN. The FN pistol and an FAL are the two weapons I would go to war and live or die on (ok, and my A.F. 1911 10mm 😆). Heavy, a *man's* rifle to be sure, the FAL won't quit on you no matter what you put it through. Sorry, waxing nostalgic for the old days, a bit. I do agree that if you're going revolver, a .357 Python is a must. 😊

The Glock my feelings as I have avoided them since their inception... Yes the VW will get me there and will start and run and everyone out of the box has shot dead-on. But, watching the impact on revolver carrying officers prematurely tapping a few bad-guys. I went with the S&W 645. When our Agency decided to finally go with an issued semi, it was the HK USP in .45 cal with lights, still have it (retirement benny) and still my fav. Striker took decades with a S&W Shield, as I avoided 9mm until then so I still need the 92F... The revolvers, S&W and Dan Wesson with a Ruger Black Powder US Army. Great clip and I agree with your logic.

Thank you for the video I will agree with most of them like I said in the short 45 acp, 10 mm, two 9 mm and a revolver all of your own choices

I only agree with some of your picks. I own a 3" Colt Python, a 4" Colt Python, a 6" Colt Python, all from the 60's except for the 3" which I had from '82 and converted from a 4" to a 3" so it is period correct and is identical to Wiley Clap's. I also have a Beretta 92FS, 92. 92FS Compact and an 85FS .380 ACP. My 1911's are from the 40's. I have 3 Colt LW Commanders in 38 super, 9mm, and .45 ACP. My other two picks are a CZ75 Compact 9mm, which is my EDC, and a Smith & Wesson 442 Airweight .38 special. I have many others that I like, Sig 226 in .357 Sig and 9mm. Sig 229, etc.

Great list, I've only been in the community 3yrs, but I called every one, except for the USP (which has a phenomenal trigger)

You knocked it out the box that’s a great list.

Dude you just hit all the spots!! You get it! lol 1911, Automatic watch, and a quality knife…… I may have cried a bit. 😂

I was born in 1990 and the Baretta 92 fs is my all time favorite pistol. Its timeless and was in a every action movie. I love it

I’m 0:58 into the video and I already get the feeling that neither of the 2 pistols I own will be on this list 🤣

Pretty good, Enjoyed..Been a 1911 user a Long time.

My list: 1. Ruger KP95 Stainless 9mm. 2. AR9 9mm 10.3 inch barrel pistol. 3. Dan Wesson 715 Stainless 357. Taurus 85 Blued 38 4. SCCY 9mm. (gave it to my brother because he didn't have any guns). 5. Ruger P345 Blued 45 acp. (Yea I've thought about getting a 1911 more than once).

The why 1911s video evokes so many emotions. You got me, kid. Bravo.

Because I want one and I'm an American. That's all you need to say. I was first issued a Colt 1911A1 in the US Coast Guard in 1980. I haven't been without one since then! Love favorite 5 videos! Cheers.

Glocks are so 10 years ago, my dude. 1911 (timeless) Sig CZ M&P 2.0 S&W or Ruger revolver *I would add:* Browning Hi-Power Walther PPQ/PDP Remington 870 (not a pistol, but if you wanna be a gun guy...)

3 of my favorite handguns made the list 😎

That background music during the 1911 is tempting me to buy one 😅
