Ghosts In Depth - P226 Handgun Review (Best Secondary)

PDW: • Ghosts In Depth - PDW ...
My Twitter: / drift0r
The P226 is my favorite pistol in Call of Duty Ghosts and I think it is the best secondary weapon on the game. This has the best two shot kill range of handgun except the magnum, a high rate of fire, large magazine size, and a relatively low recoil.
All of the gameplay in this video was achieved using a Scuf Hybrid controller. This is my favorite controller I use it every single day. check them out at:

Remember when you did Zombies in Depth? I really enjoyed that, and I'd like to possibly see Extinction in Depth! Anyone else?

[@cesaresp101]

the stats havent been cracked yet

[@derrickblacketter5028]

That loss hurt to watch. Seeing all them bad kids camping and then to have the final kill cam be one... Oh the pain you go through to give us these In Depth videos. I have a lot of respect for you. For you to be able to suck up your pride and take a loss to some really bad kids, man, that takes some humbling. As always, thank you for what you do man! Know that it really helps the rest of us out!

[@AlphaXY13]

Someone in one of my games got a KEM Strike with a P226, Scavenger, 2 C4's, and a Riot Shield w/ Radar.

[@Sickvideos19]

your really good at this in depth and its helpful

[@Saint_Kabr]

Your videos are great man. Very factual and informative, but still make me laugh sometimes. Keep up the good work.

[@ryannygren7773]

I personally prefer this gun with a silencer because of the rof. For me, the muzzle flash is a bit too much, and the flash hider interferes with the iron sights. Also, it looks and sounds totally badass

[@snaker_574]

It does

[@snaker_574]

Yeah the silencer isn't good with the p226, but I was able to be proficient with the attachment

[@SpeedShadow54]

I love that Drift0r is the only KZbinr (that I watch) that actually uses the slide and lean maneuvers.

[@johnfreeman1558]

Why was this needed to be said it just common sense

[@hecmoney5498]

I like the new format driftor!

[@JoshuaProtz]

Haven't given this pistol a try yet, but i definitely will now! I was loving the m9, but drift0rs favorite pistol, i have to try it out. The tac-45 was my all time favorite, and i also saw drift0r use it alot!

[@haydensuddeath9837]

Everyone watching this needs to turn on closed captions. The mistakes are hilarious. According to the CC, the P226 has moderate Greek oil (recoil), and the Crock (Grach) has the least amount of cake (kick).

[@Outfrost]

Drift0r, when you play, I see you sometimes don't pay attention to the little things that reveal an enemy's position, i.e. the shadow at 4:22, or the "they destroyed your satcom" announcement at 9:36. I know it's easier to see them in a video - but that's why I'm giving you a tip ;) Cheers.

[@FlameStricker]

I ran this with the honey badger on a search and rescue watch with the muzzle brake and loved it! Thanks driftor!

[@manse81]

Magnum shoots way to slow and is rarely a one shot kill

[@donalmahoney2110]

hey driftor can you do marksman rifles next

[@jbsilas12]

great overview of the weapon, and nice gameplay with a pistol!

[@kwilliams6308]

That was my first gun in real life!

[@RyanIdlett]

+Snazzy Snafu mine was a 9mm handgun can't remember the name of the gun

[@krenier]

I’m looking for buy one ! Do you have the standard or the Legion serie ?

[@krenier]

Yep i buy the mk25 version 👌

[@LocoJandro]

Those enemies started camping hard at the end...tents set up everywhere!

[@cynical4326]

I'm so happy that the P226 is in Ghosts.

[@bren97122]

I run the Sig P226 with my "Solid Snake" class, along with the combat knife and suppressor- although Snake always preferred a Beretta!

[@J33sus]

you make my days better!

[@leaderofthepatriots]

I loved running around with the Tac45 in BO2. This gun will be a good fit for me. Cannot wait til Friday when ps4 launches

[@matthewgallo7451]

Nice new intro driftor. like it

[@joshuanorthrup7320]

Drit0r wasn't lying when he said bad teammates with no thumbs!

[@ksighost1158]

Thanks Drift0r

[@vLaD3r5]

The Five-seveN is back. Yessss

[@Cypher8492]

I see that you have plans on doing the LMGs next, was hoping for the marksman rifles, so I'll go ahead and put in the request, because those weapons literally saved ghosts for me, hated it till I decided to try out the marksman

[@corndogmaster12345]

I find it funny that Driftor and Nero both post a video about their opinion on the best pistol (he thinks akimbo magnums are the best) and he recommends his In Depth videos.

[@NifE4HD]

I like seeing the variety of clips. Why just the single game?

[@ericdreal1]

That happens to me all the time. It's so frustrating to play with people that don't play the objective.

[@sharpnickelz]

On the P226, Akimbo + Muzzle Break is absolutely beast. For a rushing or Dom loadout, I go Combat Knife (Primary), P226 (w/ Akimbo + Muzzle Break), no lethal or tactical (for the extra perks). Perks are Agility, Marathon (or Sleight of Hands), Steady Aim, Scavenger and Extra Attachment.

[@grss2a224]

Thanks for the tip... It really helps

[@naveenjeet8440]

Heh Driftor, next time can you add footage of a gun jamming in COD Ghosts? That would be super interesting :D

[@putanginanshit]

My pistol of choice, has not let me down yet. Played around with the PDW a little bit too, it's cool!

[@RangerColinLZ]

My favorite set up for the P226 is the suppressor and if I can, extended mags.

[@RangerColinLZ]

This pistol jammed so much on me in the first couple days. I easily topped the fire cap on this pistol. But after that I learned it and love this weapon, I just wish secondary weapons didn't take away perk points.

[@WaterGateAffair]

if possible, before moving on, I think an all-round pistol review could be done explaining what the strengths and weakness of each pistol and in which situations they excel in. atleast among the semi-auto pistols. the 3 really quite similar

[@bradstheking]

Before you start any other class of weapon can you do a riot shield in depth (best attachments/class setup and how it covers your body)

[@ShadowDragon12341]

Hey Drift0r love your series it really helps me get my K/D up in the beginning of the game. A really weird and unique is the CHAIN SAW and some of the factors it has would make a great in-depth so if you dont mind can you do it next? Keep up the good work! Shadowdragon

[@Wattsy0909]

That was some nice pistol rampage lol as always a very good in death

[@bigDmtb622]

i don't play ghosts, but I do enjoy weapons breakdowns and analysis. I also own a sig p226 and it is Hands Down the Best most Reliable, most accurate pistol I have ever shot/ owned.

[@BobLobsterB]

Using this gun Akimbo as a backup for a sniper class works well for me. Love it.

[@samhicks559]

Your like me, I love this and I loved the tac 45. I use it without a primary

[@GrizZGamerX]

I have a fairly good trigger finger and I realised that there is no " trigger jam" if you use these guns akimbo. I can basically fire them rapid fire.

[@Secret72062]

yo Drift0r you have another sub, his name C and ends with heesecake9000

[@TheTealBacon]

Hey driftor, could you do an in-depth for each of the scorestreaks in ghosts? i was wanting that in bo2 but it never came... if would be awesome if you could!

[@Seahorsie_]

This is one of the best pistols ever in CoD.

[@gradydehler4615]

You should do the tracker sight in depth!

[@fireblade3682]

you should do a video on quickdraw, I really wonder if it does difference in the snipers

[@crashmaster27]

I know you expertise in weapons, attachments, and perks but could you review on killstreaks? I enjoy everything else but it would be pretty cool.

[@dazhawnheyward6031]

Idk why this is my favorite pistol

[@Greg-mz2bl]

This thing and a sniper is just the bomb! You see someone affar, shoot them with big gun, they go close, shoot them with tiny gun! IT WORKS SSOOOO WEELLL!

[@HieuFTW]

You should do an in-depth for the guard dog lol

[@Jack.758]

Is it just me or is Driftor's voice like a cross between KYR SP33DY and Minnesota Burns?

[@iYamBCast]

I don't like the word "spam" when referring to having a fast trigger finger, but I love this Pistol too and I

[@yofoboy527]

drift0r do ARs next i wanna know about my favorite gun the remington

[@Viiicarious]

what about the weapons' draw times? are they all the same? Or is it just that you aren't quite sure because symthic hasn't updated it yet? Could you mention draw time in your next episodes because that's really important to a gun. For instance, the dual wield magnums in BO1 could not be used as sidearms unless you had 1.5 seconds to wait for the person to pull it out, which could not help that much in a gun fight. Thanks dude!

[@A7xCorrupt]

Driftor, you are a wonderful commentator but i subscribed to you because you give great information on the games i play. Do some Bf4, please? Im done with CoD. A couple videos on guns couldnt hurt.

[@mysticxclan6395]

Hey Drift0r, can you do an explaining on the last bit of the campaign please?

[@invaderguy78]

Hey Drift0r, when you said Jimmy No Thumbs, are you taking that from the Spartan Beast of Call of Duty, Tiago?

[@majingucci9827]

The akimbo p226 with extended mags is op I use them my self and find it quite easy if to get kem strikes if I’m playing domination and people want the flag it just rips them to shreds

[@IlliterateIdiot]

I usually think that I'm John Reese from Person of Interest when I use this pistol in COD

[@SuperHumblewarrior]

FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT.

[@IlliterateIdiot]

SuperHumblewarrior Its the best thing in Ghosts. It may be a pistol but for POI fans, its the best.

[@iamapokemonslayer]

please review the assault rifles!! everyone just got the game and i think some insight on the ar's, which are the dominate class in this game, would help out many of us players Thanks!

[@TomnavGaming]

Can you do an in-depth of the PDW?

[@aslamc9288]

I tried so hard to use this, but the barrel just obscures vision too much. I use the Grach or M9 now. Much better with those two.

[@bengarcia1916]

Did you guys know that there has been an update that has made the magnum better? It's cool.

[@TheFirespartan117]

+Rakunasha I hope you realize that the new engine is for next gen consoles but I do see where you are coming from

[@robloxfan7187]

I have to agree with Drift0r. I tried the other pistols in the game; the Magnum was OK, hated the Grach, not comfortable with the M9A1, and the PDW can eat shit. This is the only pistol I really loved.

[@koenvanheugten9021]

Cool story, brah!

[@FiveToTheFifth]

Could you please do a review of the squads modes and recommend some AI classes? The squad setting up is insane and rich ground for analysis.

[@robloxfan7187]

10:11 ok, new host mig- BAM BAM BAM BAM!

[@Requ1escat1nPACE]

I feel bad for the guys that did so awful on Drift0r's team. I can relate cuz I have a harder time playing well in ghosts than any other cod. I've never been lucky (or unlucky) enough to end up in a game with Drift0r, but knowing my luck it'll happen in ghosts and I'll be another Johnny no-thumbs.xD

[@gabrielzinho3230]

Interesting pistol

[@vinjar717]

I like the grach

[@leolucainsinsola9877]

I think I've found some kind of easter egg, or maybe it's just random but think about it: The Pistol is called P226 and it kills in 2 2 6 shots. Interesting? Maybe not ,I don't know.

[@agtiger1]

Hey driftor can you review smgs I just cant figure out which one best. Thanks long time fan

[@elishakennedy3668]

Drift0r please do battlefield in depth because I am enjoying bf4 way more than ghosts

[@MegaWiggy123]

Driftor, what is the best handgun to use with the silencer? Does the silencer affect the pistols differently? And would you suppose that its best with the P226 and what would the 2 shot kill range be then?

[@tomedgar842]

Silencer works the same on all guns and takes away 15% range I think. He did a video on it.

[@christianhjelmstrom224]

The P226 has such unusual magazine size. 14 rounds, it's like it has been modified to accept P320 magazines, wich holds the same 14 rounds in .40 and .357 Sig. The proof o that is that it features the same damage that the M9a1, wich holds 12 rounds in the game (simmilar to the Beretta 96a1), prooving they are in the same caliber.

[@Skreeze_Nuts]

It’s call of duty not statistically correct in every way duty

[@SoCal-Yeti]

you sould show a video of you using this navy seal prefered weapon

[@mongrelshadow14]

Even though the magnum is considerably worse then what it was from past COD games i still find it to be the best pistol in ghosts. But handguns are all about what style you like. I prefer damage and the .44 has the best damage model of all pistols. The grach is for those people who want a spammable secondary. The M9 is really sort of a middle ground gun no advantages or downsides. Lastly the P226 is best for those who either want to run secondary only or a silenced pistol. I can't comment on the PDW as nothing about it rings good. Best to avoid it all together.

[@I_THE_ME]

When are you doing slug ammo in depth?

[@ffornahp]

My fav. one in Counter Strike!

[@ImDeluxeSP33some]

Drift0r, I suggest you make a video if adding Search and Destroy back to the public playlist is a good idea. Personally, I prefer SnR and people should adapt.

[@tannertj33]

its basically the tac45 with i think a slightly better 2 shot range AND 4 extra bullets per clip

[@clockwork1994]

Could you possibly do a video on reload canceling?

[@D0P3ST]

Can you do something on the Flash Hider, cause I was told it improves accuracy, but I am not sure. Can you test it?

[@wildheartjae]

I have a really fast trigger finger so I think the grach is better, and I feels better to me

[@raventheblademaster1874]

Hey Drift0r can you tell me what music you're using for your intro?

[@Sullivancas]

4:37 Really deadeye for gambler? I rememeber I first took off equipment and had no lethal decided to put on gambler, you know what I got? Strong arm, tac +1, lethal +1, recon, danger close. I was like "screw this perk"

[@foxdragon2967]

Lol that host migration saved you!

[@ADukesJustice]

Driftor do Assault Rifles next.

[@SomaCruz666]

this thing Duel weilded is deffinitly overpowered as fuck, wouldn't be surprised if it got nerfed

[@WaterGateAffair]

hey drift0r, is it correct to say that this gun makes the m9a1 useless in regards to damage statistics and range? after comparing the two through your videos the p226 is faster and has a greater 2 and 3 shot kill range. essentially what im asking is, what does the m9a1 have over the p226? I feel as though its up to the viewer on how to interpret your data but, im having trouble understanding why IW even made the m9a1 if the p226 outclasses it in every way. The only difference i can see is that the m9a1 will never take more than 4 shots to kill, whereas the p226 can take up to 6 hits to kill but due to the nature of the pistols, you should never be challenging if from that range...

[@thekingbradable]

I can barely tell any of the pistols apart in this game because of the dark colors

[@bladebreaker4life]

do LMG's next

[@Anthony-gy1ze]

I always use the suppressed P226.

[@skyguysXD]

SMG's next

[@the_dragons_rage]

wow i also want to ask how the matchmaking is in this game, is it unfair like how black ops 2 was to solo players?

[@yung___lx]

Hey Drift0r, can you Mike a Video about Reload Canceling? Thanks :)

[@invisiblesurge44]

Is call of duty ghost better than the previos call of duties? Is it worth getting?
