CZ for Life 🤘

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Yes sir Jerry

[@yuvgotubekidding]

I think I have a crush on the Kimber Carbon 😍🇺🇸👍

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Haha I get that

[@eltenda]

Awesome 👌 happy new year

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Happy new year brother

[@bisquik3006]

I'm so out of the loop. Too much has changed since 2010. Great vid, bud.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

It's been a while man. Good to see you

[@jeffmcclendon3835]

S&W Bodyguard 2.0 was already mentioned but I agree with those posters. It’s easily a top 10 non 1911 handgun for 2024. Mine has been flawless and it has less felt recoil than any sub compact or smaller .380 acp that I have ever shot. Nothing like it in the straight blow back or polymer 380 pocket pistol category. Makes the Ruger LCP Max 380 feel like it’s a 40S&W.

[@TwentyTwoSigma]

@@jeffmcclendon3835 Glock 25.

[@jeffmcclendon3835]

@ the finger groove Glock 19 gens don’t fit my hands or my pockets. Neither does the Glock 25. My comments were about straight blowback/ polymer 380s. Glock 42 just about fits that group but capacity is my main gripe with the 42

[@TwentyTwoSigma]

@@jeffmcclendon3835 Glock 25 is a blowback.

[@Chebva]

That metal frame M&P is sooooo nice. I am at work, while watching your video Dan. Naughty me.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Haha appreciate you checking in

[@Cavett24]

Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Good one

[@sodakhilljack7147]

I normally agree with all of your opinions I will have to disagree on the rxm it’s just not in my wheelhouse and at least where I am I’m not seeing anyone asking for them or looking at them in my lgs. Your opinion is yours and I respect it just don’t agree. You’re still in my opinion one of the most unbiased and fair gun reviewers out there.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Your comment is fair and I respect that. Thanks for the kind words

[@believe722]

I really like the Fk compact, also the Kimber R7 both look very good and review very well. I guess the whole list is pretty freaking awesome!

[@johnmoorefield76]

Mr. Dan, what a way to start off the new year! Awesome, awesome video with your custom miss here & there! Hoping you & yours have a very prosperious NEW YEAR!!

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Very helpful information, that all metal S&W is calling me!!!

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I hear ya sir.

[@ethanmac639]

*Smith and Wesson M&P40 M2.0 Metal*

Good stuff Ethan

[@CamGaylor]

Great video dan

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Much appreciated Cam

[@royyoung1896]

Great video as always Dan. Can't wait to see what you do for 2025. Would like to see a video of what optics are your favorite. Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Happy New Year to you too and thanks for watching Roy.

[@believein1]

"The ticket..". It's been awhile since I've heard that one. 👍

[@heerrjj]

Found a 92x RDO centurion and picked it up, replaced the barrel with a centurion threaded barrel, and a hogue grip that I think fixes the feel of the vertec frame. Absolutely love it.

[@brorjordas1979]

I just love these "best of" -videos. And this was no exception. Neat pics! 👍🏻

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Bror. I appreciate it

[@josecardenas4013]

Great video!!! I dig the Kimber carbon

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Jose

[@romans6two338]

Nice, Happy New Year my friend and God bless. I liked your Beretta and SA in this video pretty cool.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

God bless you too Romans

[@YellowHammer26]

👍👍 some great guns, thanks Dan.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Lance. This one took some work.

[@keylargojoe62]

Nice! Hope you got everything you asked for from Santa! Only thing he leaves me is credit card bills!! Happy new year dan!!

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Happy New Year Joe

[@PPD1911]

Nocturn’s great but sucks trying to get a threaded barrel for it!

[@TheFirearmGuy]

That is a real bummer, you'd think they would include that option from the factory.

[@jimelliott8438]

Good list. You had a number of pistols that I was unaware of. Thanks for the info.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Appreciate that man. Glad it was helpful

[@BrandonD]

Beretta is 🔥 and Kimber crushed it with the carbon compact

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Brandon

[@v.german11b]

Walther, CZ, and Canik for me. Great choices, Dan.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks, appreciate it.

[@ram218313]

great list. thanks for video

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Ram. Appreciate your support

[@user-jetmachinist]

Definitely the best non 2011 handguns of 2024 . Happy new year Dan ! The Kimber carbon compact is interesting.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Happy New Year Jet

[@eddiemassaro6059]

These are gonna be hard to 🔝 in 2025... Happy New Year ! Dan

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Happy New Year Eddie.

[@BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

Non 1911, whaWHAAAT!!! Blasphemy 😆 Not a bad list👍👍

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Much appreciated James

[@cynicsupreme]

Awesome video man. Maybe it’s just me but no new semi autos are unique enough or look different enough to catch my eye these days. A classy revolver will always be my preference.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Revolvers never go out of style

[@badbilly429]

Solid list! Thanks for the video!

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Billy

[@Leonardokite]

Great review Dan. I definitely like the shadow systems firearm. Totally boss! It is interesting to watch how firearms evolved over the years. Have a marvelous new year my friend!

[@TheFirearmGuy]

You as well Leonard. Thanks man

[@baizo_818]

Bul Armory 100%

Sig P365 Fuse. Love it!

Yes sir. I featured it but didn't own it

[@Gunsandfun1961]

Great look at the 2024 handgun lineup..good work as usual Dan...

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Appreciate it brother

[@alvinmartinez1322]

Gotta say love this list!!!

Happy new year from Argentina🎉🎉

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Happy New Year to you as well!

[@Bob.W.]

Thx. Happy New Year.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Happy New Year Bob

[@shane6154]

Solid list but would add the XD Mod 3. Nice evolution of features (better serrations, better trigger, optics ready) for a sub $300 price point... what's not to love? Well outside of them not including any plates and only one mag, that is... 😆

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I will have a Mod 3 very soon Shane. Agree with your thoughts

[@PreservationOfLiberty]

I agree! Kimber had a great year. Lots of good stuff came out in 2024 & I’m very interested to see what 2025 has in store for the industry. Psst… I might not be part of the masses in this sentiment but I still kinda want to get my hands on an HK CC9. I just think it’s cool 😉 Happy New Year, everybody! 🎉

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I do too bro. The HK CC9 was on my list. Hard to find locally.

[@dylano7242]

What happened to the kahr x9? All fluff claims instead never came out.

[@clintwestwood1895]

I want that M&P metal carry comp!

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Yes you do Clint

[@daily4020]

Great list for good reasons. This makes a Happy New Year sound fun with what may come in 2025. Thanks for the video.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Appreciate it Daily. Happy New Year

[@greggc8088]

Great list Dan. Thanks and happy New Year!

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Gregg. Happy New Year

[@TheFirearmGuy]

That one is amazing

[@jimchambers7548]

That's a sweet collection of fine pistols. Happy New Year TFG

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Jim. Happy New Year to you sir

[@mnrodriguez]

Great! Happy New Year!

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Happy New Year

[@TheLoneRanger745]

My favorites of your list are, Beretta GTS-C , Echlon 4" , RX920P Comp , MC14 BD8 , KIMBER , You picked the REALY great one's, makes you wonder how they could get any better.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I appreciate it Lone Ranger

[@jamesbroughton7870]

Well that was a nice list I would have to add The bodyguard 2.0 and the fusion firearms XP pro.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Good choices James

[@jackbauer9077]

Great video! Thanks! Hopefully 2025 is a great year for us all and more great guns come out. My favorite gun I bought that’s new for 2024 is my hk cc9, only 2024 model I bought, but lots of new tools

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I really wanted to check that one out. Couldn't find it

[@mos4897]

That Beretta GTS is nice. It decocks to a half cock position like the CZs giving a better double action pull. I wish decock lever was shaped better.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Exactly

[@orhidearecepti]

Happy New Year!!!🎉 my friend from Orhidea Recepti (Maryann)😊

Phenomenal work as always. Your dedication to bringing us the latest and most impressive handguns is unparalleled. The variety you’ve showcased in this video is incredible, and your insights are absolutely spot on. It’s clear how much effort and expertise you pour into these reviews. Thanks for keeping the firearm community informed and engaged-truly top-tier content.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I really appreciate that Ajac. Thanks so much man

[@seethebutter]

Thanks

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Appreciate it

[@hondasaurusrex6998]

Dan the 2A Man you missed the Springfield Armory XD mod3....

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I will have one soon. This stuff is challenging

[@RidersRange]

So many new guns and choices, so little time and money. I haven't shot a couple of those, but of those that I have shot, the S&W Metal Carry Comp and Springfield Echelon Compact are my top picks for 2024. I just wish they would offer manual safeties as they do on others in the line.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I hear you Rider and well said. Did you notice where most of the shooting footage was from. Rider's Range is where it's at?

[@RidersRange]

@@TheFirearmGuy I did notice. I look forward to more in 2025.

[@allenspiegel6417]

Happy New Year Sir... Hope the Move is working out well for you... Question. Last January you did a quick review at Shot Show of New items from the BERSA Booth. Curious if there has been any progress on the release dates of the Newest Polymers (B9) ? I have been watching everything out there.. Magazines..KZbin.. Still nothing on a release date or any type of reviews from anyone other than yourself.. Hopefully you may have heard something (Anything) on how these firearms are progressing.. Thank you Sir..

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I will check with my bud at Bersa. I've wondered that too

[@zillsburyy1]

cool space gun.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks man

[@Loyal-m9i]

Anyone else have my problem ,I want more than just one of these but do I need more than one? Makes it a hard decision , and by the time I narrow it down there’s eight or ten more ! !

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Truth

[@Catgat37]

I got the same problem, I want far too many guns.

[@MrKingArthurhk]

Does the FK have optics ready features?

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Yes sir, aimpoint acro

[@jackbauer9077]

Love the kimber cds9 but wish it came with 10 round flush magizine too would be a sweet gun but sticking with CSX

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Kimber makes it but it is sold separately

[@KombuchaPants]

Springfield must visually change the Echelon's self disassembling magazines. I had the gun in my hand, desire in my mind, money in my wallet, but said, nope. Not gonna risk it.

[@triggerman1092]

Hey dan did cz fix the extraction/ejection issues with this new model? I have seen several people have those problems. I think it had something to do with the specs of the extractor

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I never had a problem triggerman

[@jonnyhumphreys9133]

The issue was the length of optic screws some people used. They'd hit the extractor causing speratic malfunction. Shorter screw, no issue. I believe the Springfield Prodigy 2011style had the same sorta thing.

[@Catgat37]

I was ironically hoping for the 10 best 1911 list 😢

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Wish I had 10 new 1911's to show. I have a few

[@Catgat37]

@TheFirearmGuy I only got 2 right now. And my wife says I gotta stop buying guns for a while 😪

[@jonnyhumphreys9133]

I@@TheFirearmGuyI got my first one this month! I understand the obsession, now! A tinkerer's dream!

[@LionquestFitness]

Hey Dan, I apologize for asking a different question from what this video is about, but this is the only way I can get in touch with you. A while back you did a video on the Scab channels that were using AI to generate content from other creators. Were you able to get it stopped for your channel? If so, what were you able to do. I guess I'm in the big time now with my channel, because now I'm getting some of my videos scabbed.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I made copyright complaints with KZbin. They may get a strike and beg you to remove it. I don't remove it

[@LionquestFitness]

@@TheFirearmGuy Thanks!

[@LoneStarLawman]

HK CC9 9MM PISTOL

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I really wanted to check that out. Couldn't find it

[@LoneStarLawman]

I get it. It's hard to find right now. Hope to see a review on it in the future, from you.

[@MRJACK10BOY]

Canik MC9LS

[@PhillipTate-v9n]

I think the S&W SD9 2.0 is the most forgotten gun of the year.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

The Metal Carry Comp was

[@Thomas-yw9eo]

I'd promised myself that I wouldn't buy another gun for a couple years till I just saw this Kimber Carbon Compact.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I hear ya Thomas
