Did you just assume my caliber

A mosin nagant is my everyday carry, i just tell people that i have a prosthetic leg and thats why i walk like that

"The 40 is the easiest handgun ammo to find" - Future message from COVID-19 in 2020

Modern 9mm, 357sig, .40S&W and 45 ACP will ALL do the job that needs doing. You, the shooter are the one that decides how well it's done.

I carry a .65 flintlock. Sure, it only has one shot, but that stopping power! And with that awesome single bead sight, how can I miss?

I don’t care what caliber it is, I don’t want to be shot by any bullet 😂

Ballistics don't lie, people do. The .40s&w is a really good round.

Lets admit we're all here cause we carry .40 and are here to religiously defend it and comfort ourselves knowing theres people like us who love the .40. Yes im the middle child and yes in my mind the caliber debate is won. Paul Harrell helped me make my decision to go ahead with the .40

I'm transcaliber, I have a glock and load it with .357, you better respect my caliber identity and use proper prorounds

My old G23 saved my dad's life. He stopped a doped up junky with a hatchet in his tracks with some quality HP rounds. I sold that gun to him because I wasn't attached to it and not because i thought the caliber wasn't impressive. I now have a G23 again and I trust it to get the job done because of his experience.

I carry a forty every Friday . It's refreshing and I get it from the gas station .😂😀😂

"I like both calibers, I like women, sometimes i have dreams about Justin Bieber..." HYSTERICAL!

I'm a .45 guy so you know I clicked this with hate in my heart lol

Where the 50 boys at? I conceal carry a Desert Eagle 50 AE just in case a grizzly decides to charge at me. And I also open carry a 50 BMG just in case that same grizzly bear is driving a truck while charging me.

"your 'caliber identity'..." He prefers the term "ammo-sexual". Sure does.

In 2006, a coroner wrote a report titled, “Terminal Ballistics as Viewed in a Morgue.” He stated he performed an average of 8.2 autopsies a day and chose to be blunt in his findings. “I absolutely despise a 9mm for defensive situations … and a .380 ACP as well,” he wrote, adding he will “take a slow-moving .45 ACP to a gunfight any day.” In addition, he stated that when a gunshot wound victim crossed his autopsy table with multiple rounds in their bodies, those bullets were typically .380 ACP or 9mm, while single-shot gunshot wound victims were usually shot by .40 S&W or .45 ACP. 'Nuff said.

I'm a middle child. And I carry .40. This explains it. Thanks, Colion.

This guy knows his stuff. I am a middle child and I carry a 40 cal. I am also a retired Deputy Sheriff and we carried 40s. I have owned and fired all three. Needless to say I have fired and trained with 40 Cal. more. I am on target more with a 40 Cal. Perhaps it is all the training. I am not upset over this video, as a matter of fact I liked it.

If you can’t handle the .40 S&W you are a recoil sensitive girly man.

Having been in emergency services for over 40 years, (911 paramedic and ER nurse), I have seen quite a few shootings with everything from a BB gun to 12ga shotguns. I have seen "one shot DRT" (dead right there) kill with a .25 acp, and someone shot multiple times with 12ga buckshot who was still able to fight back. The essential element to any defensive use of a firearm is shot placement. With under-powered rounds like .25 acp, .32acp (or .32 S&W), .22LR from a handgun, etc. the best bet is to place multiple rounds in the thinnest parts of the skull, such as through the eye sockets. I have even seen 9mm hardball fail to penetrate thicker parts of the skull, (spent many years working 911 in Texas. Lots of very hard heads here! Who needs an IQ test when you can get a Rockwell scale test on your cranium!) While an experienced shooter should be able to place their shots at will, it is quite a bot more difficult to do so when the target is moving, shooting back and the shooter is experiencing a massive dump of adrenalin in their system. People who work in high stress, dangerous jobs, (police officers, EMT/Paramedics, firefighters, combat soldiers, Waffle House cooks ;-P , etc.) or participate in "adrenalin" type sports, (sky diving, whitewater rafting, etc.), have a much better chance of placing their shots effectively under real-world defensive conditions. A handgun round that provides adequate penetration, and creates enough tissue damage to disrupt the central nervous system is really all that is required. Disrupting the cardiovascular system, (i.e. causing hypovolemic shock), is much slower method of stopping the threat, although much easier to achieve under stress-fire circumstances, which is why "center of mass" is taught for defensive shooting. Waiting for your assailant to bleed out while they are actively attacking you probably seems like FOREVER during the event, as time seems to run in slow motion during these high-stress events.

I carry a 10mm. Although I wish my ammo was 9mm price...

I own .40s cuz police trade in guns are cheeeeeaaap! Lol

The best caliber is the one you have on your person when you need one.

She killed the whole argument when she dropped the .357 sig line I'm dead 😂😂😂☠☠☠

"I carry a .357 Sig and as far as I'm concerned, all of you are idiots. That's time." 😂

40 is an awesome round. So is 9. Ok, toss in the 45 as well. I have carried all 3 on duty and have seen a 9mm one shot stop. I have seen suspects take multiple hits from 45 and live. I was involved in a shooting with 40 and it works as advertised. My point is that shot placement and knowing your platform is more relevant than caliber. I carry 40 on duty, 9 off duty, and 45 on the nightstand. I guess you can have it all :)

These days, those who carry forty just like being able to find ammo.

“I carry a .357 sig and all you guys are idiots” 😂🤣🤣 that’s how I feel standing on the sidelines with my 10mm

The 40 is a hell of a round if you have the man hands to handle it. Plain and simple.

I hunt with a .44mag, so I've gotten used to the recoil. So, when I train with my 9's, or .40's, or .45's, I have to admit, I don't pay attention to recoil. My focus is on my target. I don't feel outgunned, with any of them. Or even my .380 summer gun. The most important defensive tool, is the one between your ears. You want a 90mm mindset. When it is time to protect yourself, or your family, you can't doubt, that you will persevere. If it takes you a split second longer, to make this a one shot stop, vs a 15 shot panic spray, that misses the target altogether, and endangers everyone else in the vicinity, you HAVE to take that time and risk. It comes back to training. Mr. Badguy is under stress too. He didn't anticipate finding a sheepdog, among the sheep. And now, he's staring down your barrel. You have to train dynamically. Don't go to a range, "kill" the heck out of a paper target, that is stationary, doesn't return fire and think this will suffice. Find somewhere you can shoot steel targets, and are able to move around and still hit. Shoot with your offhand. Shoot while laying on the ground, or some other odd position. Learn to reload, with only your offhand. These are drills that will save your bacon. And, don't be afraid to practice dryfiring at home. Modern firearms are not damaged by this. This helps your draw, sight alignment, and gives you a muscle memory, so that you will automatically do certain things faster and more consistently. What's the best caliber? The one that's comfortable for you, that you have confidence in, and is in your capable hands, at the worst time of your life.

Dude...you totally diagnosed me I’m the middle child and I carry .40 exclusively Love you poking fun at us .40 carriers

I've been shooting .40 cal for years. Love it. I never really noticed any weird recoil, but then I started with a .45 ACP Colt Officer's Model. From there I went to a Ruger P85 9mm which got stolen. I was left with only my Ruger Redhawk .44 Mag for years before I got my first .40, a Ruger P94DC. I did very well with it and because I was used to the recoil of the .44 Mag, it felt pretty light to me. I added a Beretta 96G which I never really liked. It was very comfortable in my hand, but I couldn't get it to shoot accurately for crap. Finally, I got a Beretta 8040 Cougar and I fell in love with it. It was stupid accurate and it felt super smooth to shoot. I've since graduated to the PX4 Storm. Using the same rotating barrel system it's just as smooth and accurate as the 8040. I'm not terribly fond of the polymer frame, but I can live with it. The only down side I have is that I injured my pinky and ring finger on my dominate hand and must have done some nerve damage. It's been more than a year now and shooting handguns (as well as using tools or gripping things tightly) make those to fingers ache like a sumbeeotch. Luckily, rifle shooting which is my true passion doesn't bother them. I only shoot the handgun as practice since it's my carry weapon. Unfortunately, knowing the pain I'll be in after makes it hard to force myself to hit the range with the pistol and I'm pretty sure anything bigger of my MK II .22LR Slab Side would cause the same situation.

I carry a 1500s late Renaissance hand cannon... yeah it might blow up on my hand but at least it’s taking the other guy out with me

I prefer to carry a .40 but I don’t knock the 9mm, .357 Sig, .45 or 10mm

That therapist is GORGEOUS.

this actually makes me want to carry a .40 even more .

"Most are them are middle children with middle children issues" 😂😂 I actually am a middle child 😭😭

Just carry .500 S&W and look down on everybody.

that was funny. A police department I worked for years ago transitioned from the .38 to the 9mm. Then later when they wanted a bigger gun ended up with the .40 because the city commission thought the .45 was too military. At the time my personal weapon was a .45. I shot both a lot against all types of targets and most times couldn't tell you on a practical level that there was much difference. later I took a training class from an ex Israeli commando who had done many times what we were training for. He preferred the 9mm over anything else. I'm so confused......

I'm 60 female and I carry a S&W 40. Because it's easy to handle.

If you ask the girl next to you, she would said the 9mm is too small, the 45acp is too big, the 40s&w is prefect baby

I often walk into my local cabellas and asked the gentleman at the gun counter what the best deal in the house is. He showed me a s&w m&p .40 cal for $235 it's now my carry. I like the gun, it shoots great, easy to conceal, and it was inexpensive.

I have them both, 40 cal. Stay center of whatever target I shoot. 1996 Glock and 2015 S&W m&p love them both and there will be no divorce. Life is sweet! Stay safe, enjoyed the presentation.

In 2020 we should have every caliber, that way we might be able to find ammo for one of them. Good vid, classic ending.

As a .40 Fan boy this made me chuckle.

LOL, I carry a .40 because the choice was made for me (and now the ammo is free)

You carry yours and I will carry mine. We will both be happy.

I bought a .40 cal because I was a CBP Officer and we were issued the H&K P2000. When I retired I still had about 800 rounds left over from Range Qualifications. I already have a Colt .45ACP and a Colt King Cobra .357 magnum.

40 S&W all day!!!

***** as someone that carries a .40 you had me laughing almost histerically. Yes we carry the 10mm short and weak and carry it proud! Keep up the great videos.

I actually like the recoil impulse of the .40 in my VP. It reminds me of the .41/.44 that I unfortunately sold and wish I could get back. Loaded with .41, it was a tack driver with just a hint of snap. I like the .45 “push” and never really felt comfortable with the snappiness of the higher power 9’s. For some reason, I’m just more comfortable and accurate with the .40..... which is the most important anyway. Years ago I was at a range and in the lane next to me was a gal maybe in her mid 20’s, shooting a .380. She had that paper all the way down the range. I watched her quickly run through three magazines....... and when the target came back, my jaw hit the floor. She had dime sized stickers all over it, and each one had a clean hole right through the middle........... I want her on my side.

😂 The way this video wraps up is hilarious!

Question: 9 mm, 45 cal, 40 cal, or .357 Sig? Answer: Full power 10 mm, and shut everybody up. :-)

4:05 - 4:30 Is a DemolitionRanch intro

I am a 40 carrier(EDC) and proud of it! PS I also have a 45 for home defense

I carried a 40 because my mark 23 0 mod was special issue on deployment when you got your tarfu pack and didn’t have time to set your kit before shipping off ,. This is a hilarious video I love it

Draco with a 75 round drum is my conceal carry pistol of choice.

My carry gun is a Glock model 22. I hide it in my chest hair.

“Recoil sensitive girly man” LMFAOOO

Repspectifully speaking, I can imagine the young lady on your show carrying a .40 S&W in her stocking top. 😁

Where do I sign up for counseling with this therapist

The girl that plays the psychiatrist is amazing. He did one of these on 9 mm and 45 as well but never did one of the 357 Sig

Stop! You’re killing me! LOL!!! Very nice video.

Iv shot many calibers before i chose 40s&w. I just like it.

Here is the answer to the caliber war. Semi auto cartridges are weaker then revolver and rifle calibers. But nonetheless, bullets kill, train with what you can afford and handle and shot placement is key. BTW, I couldn't decide either so I went with .357 SIG.

i carry nothing.... because germany :/

Thanks Colion for adding to my confusion. My EDC rotation includes 9mm NATO, 40 S&W and 45 ACP. Today I happen to be carrying my FNX-40. Well, fact is they will all get the job done.

I love the .45 ACP in a 1911 platform but I prefer to carry the 10mm. It offers a magazine capacity of the .40 S&W, which is comparable to the 9mm, but also has a basically energy that exceeds the .357 Magnum. My 'go to' is a Kimber Target II, which is built on the 1911 platform. This for me is the perfect full size carry option.

22lr hands down best round ever.

I damn near fell out of my chair with the .357 Sig comment at the end!! Oh and I carry a .40 and I am NOT confused!!

I was hoping to find something out about myself, and I did, my XD 40 is the superior caliber. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

My first gun was a .40 S&W. Now, I have 9mm, LR22, and 45acp. So my .40 was my gateway drug. I carry a M-27 Phased plasma rifle at 40 watt range. It's just to cover all bases ;)

*Carries .50 Deagle still waiting for vid

There is no cal debate! Cal does not matter. what matters is placing whatever Cal you have effectively. If I shoot one in the face with a .22LR the confusion and the threat stops :)

"thErE's OnLy TwO gEnDeRs." Me, an intellectual: "Umm...NO! 9mm and .45 aren't the only two options. When are y'all gonna learn this???"

I carry both! H&K VP40 Striker Fire and M&P 9C 2.0 Compact... I grab which ever is closest to the door on my way out... and a concealed Ruger LCP2 380. Cant leave home without it!

As someone who's carried a 9mm, a .40, and currently, a 10mm, I say this: a .22 in your waist band is better than a .357 magnum on the shelf. But seriously, the .357 rocks!

You wanna know the truth. No caliber is the best. Whatever you feel comfortable shooting with. that what should matter.

I carry different calibers depending on the time of year, I love the .40 for winter time. Train with what you are comfortable with. Every caliber will make a hole and is better than throwing hands. Also, the majority of people will never use their weapon for self defense, but whatever you have on you is the best caliber if you need it.

Funny. But talking seriously: .40 isn't a "compromise" caliber, despite just about EVERYONE saying that as of late. It's stronger than both .45 and 9mm.

I chose the .40 because a boat load of law enforcement real world data showed it had the highest percentage of stopping a threat with one shot.

Carry a 40 S+W,but also have a 9, 45lc take turns with them, haven't had to use them yet, hope I never do but I do carry.

40 carriers are the philosophical equivalent of the character in A Beautiful Mind. Don't go for what you want and risk being disappointed, settle for the middle ground and at least get something.

I love my .40, but to find one with manageable recoil I've ended up with a 5.25 competition. Tried the edc. It's just a brick! Now it's my camping/ hunting sidearm. Edc full size 9mm. Not much smaller, but just enough to get away with it and my walther rides like a Cadillac over train tracks! Smooth.

So when is the .357 sig video coming out??

I think I just heard my favorite quote, " the. 45 moves slower than a bunch of pro-gunners to a national gun registration event"

He is right about the middle child thing. Im a middle child and i LOVE .40 s&w And .357 sig

The single most important thing is what caliber is going to be most available when TSHTF, which by all accounts could be soon

I was just thinking about when I started carrying .357 Sig, and it was just a few months after this video came out. I think this video might have influenced me to switch to the greatest semi-auto cartridge ever devised by man.

LMFAO!! That was probably THE funniest thing I've seen lately!

Ok now do a mulit personality skitzo person that carries all 3 lmao love your videos man keep them coming

Hahahaha as a 40 guy I loved this sketch. I’m sure it went over the heads of the 9mm crown though. 🤣

The people that carry .380....

Ha! Confused about caliber identity. That was freakin gold man!

I didn’t know much about guns when I first watched this I thought it was funny now that I’m gun savvy this is hysterically funny 357 sig lol 😆😅

I carry a S&W.40 but I moved down from a Blackhawk 41 mag. Do they even make that ammo anymore?

Why make compromises...just carry a .45 AND a 9mm. Hell, if you like .40, carry one of those too. Boondock Saints style.

You Sir have a new subscriber! You had me laughing especially your reference to "Bad Boys"

These videos are hysterical.... well done.

All in good fun,gotta love the perspective...
