What does it really matter what you carry as long as: 1.) You can hit what your aiming at reliably. 2.) The gun functions with the ammunition you intend to use reliably. 3.) It meets any dumb restrictions that may be in place where you live. 4.) You can afford the ammunition to practice with it. 5.) The gun is mechanically sound and safe to shoot.

[@musek5048]

thats the mentality i had when i starting putting together my AR's, they're both pretty basic as far as features but i can put rounds on steel pretty efficiently without feeling like i need more. my sd9ve is also a great example of price to performance value.

[@ThePac7278]

My first gun was a HiPoint JHp 45. It was big and heavy but fun to shoot. I now have RIA MAPP 22tcm9R and RIA 1911 10mm. also a SAR B6P 9mm. the 10mm was used and the others were around $400. I just picked up a CZ p290RS compact single stack 9mm for summer carry used for $425 out the door. if you look, you can find a good gun to fit you needs.

Ive finally decided that number 3 no longer applies. I was a gunsmith professionally for several years, had to go through all the ATF and State crap to be able to buy/sell firearms and ammo and store them on the premises. Virginia was the last straw of a hundred thousand straws. They have been infringing for over a hundred and thirty years. No more. All gun laws are illegal, every last one, and no American should obey even the least of them. If it exists in the world, in any military or government Armory ANYWHERE, then Americans are meant to OWN it, and be PROFICIENT in its USE. That is the LETTER and the SPIRIT of the RIGHT that 2A was written to PROTECT.

At least from most of the anecdotal reports of commenters who were involved in citizen shootings I've read online that's the case. I assume if you have really good legal representation you may get it back at some point, but like you said it could take years or more if it even does work out at all.

Because of the whole evidence thing, he lost his Glock 43 which was used in the shooting and he also lost his Glock 17 gen 4 which was also locked in the trunk of his vehicle. That gun was never used in shooting. So 2 guns lost due to police evidence. 3 years later he still hasn't gotten them back. This is why I will always buy a used, and a cheap gun for concealed carry.

Always hedge your options and have different lethal and nonlethal means of defense.

[@davidgearardo1788]

Best purchase ive ever made, was the sd9ve smith, that gun is freaking bulletproof, for lack of a better term. Utterly reliable, tough, never bucks on me with any ammo. 299.00 new all day every day. Lifetime warranty.

[@fook-joby-den6172]

I hope everyone is a little bit “snobby” with the gear they trust their life too....

[@fook-joby-den6172]

I would suggest a white light on a carry gun though. Besides that, thought video had some good points& tips for those just getting into taking responsibility for their own protection.

[@kalashnikovdog6131]

Night sights and a white light. See what you're shooting at.

I go with what's comfortable in my hand...….if it feels good you'll use it more and train with it more often.

[@redraif]

Lol... I had to start with a deep conceal platform as my first carry option. You, Fred and Barry (back when u were still at Moss) pointed me to the LCP. I stepped into my LCP and overtime upgraded it with innovative arms sights, sweet pea trigger, hogue grip and laser. Now I can actually shoot as well with it at 7 yards, as I can with my full size Beretta. The investment was totally worth it. Now with better finances, I was now able to step into the sig p365. I don't think I would have been as comfortable with it as I am, without the time training with the LCP. Thank you again!

[@frugalsoul9984]

The Shootin' Dutchman at that price point I would personally choose a sccy but either would work if you train and test your particular examples functionality

[@toki89666]

My first autoloader was a Hi Point .380 back in 2010 when I was 20. Couldn't find ammo for it the entire 3 months I owned it. Back then .380 was nowhere to be found, and I had to bring a buddy 1 year older than me everytime I went looking for ammo.

I got a Taurus G2c as my bday present from my dad it’s cheap but it works it’s reliable and I love it but I’ll definitely buy a 1911 in the future

[@johnnyallen422]

Love my G2c and it still works after a year and over 500 rounds. I carry mine daily most of the time unless I am feeling froggy and carry my S&W Shield 45, for the heck of it, or i may carry my 1911 that has USMC grips because it is veterans day, anyways, I love my G2c.

Holy shit! Josh and josh on 8888. Awesome guys! 👍🏽

Start with fat chicks also; it's a good way to get in the game!

[@justsayin7937]

Reliability is key. If you got a gun that goes bang everytime you pull the trigger and you're confident that it will work when needed is the most important thing. No matter the cost.

[@invisibledude117]

When I got my LTC, I was hellbent on a Sig. After talking to the guy, I ended up with a S&W SD40 with fiber sights. $350 less. Scuffed and worn but has never failed. Hope it never happens, but if lost or stolen not a huge loss. Over 1k rounds later, it is still completely reliable. My fishing and backup hunting gun

[@mrgauges9065]

Bought a Ruger Sec9 1yr ago, bought my second Sec9 last week. Best $300 gun on the planet

[@pinoy1hitko]

Just had my dad and sister pick up their first handgun, a canik tp9sf elite one for $300.. Great handgun and trigger IMO.

[@KentuckyReef]

If you do get in a self defense situation, your firearm will be in police custody for a while. I would rather them to take a $400 or $500 gun VS a $1000 or $1500 gun.

[@fergiebiker]

A great carpenter can build a great house with a cheap hammer. I can’t remember who said it, but the best advice I heard when I was buying my first handgun was to buy a cheaper entry level pistol, and a lot of ammo, then get out and practice.

[@hermesten1000]

A cheap gun that you shoot a lot is better than an expensive gun that stays in your safe or your holster and doesn't get shot.

[@onefortyandwiry]

I found my dream HK p2000 LEM brand-new on gunbroker for $600! You CAN get that "dream car" if you shop around for it

[@peterdahlen1537]

When is the gun gripes on Bloomberg going to come out?

[@robertdeming8195]

I got similar feelings from the shop where I bought my first handgun. Star BM. The employees were more into tactical guns and wanted me to get a Kahr 380. I just liked the lines of a 1911 and didn’t know the star existed and picked it up for $180. Like you fellas said it was a stepping stone. Now I have several guns

[@drakinclaq]

There you have it folks, The Battletoads in real life!

Thank you!!! Now I do my have to feel bad about only being able to afford a sharpened stick.

The 3 phases of eric

[@LatestHour]

Practicing the fundamentals with a .22 pistol really hones your skills and will make you more accurate with larger calibers. It also gives you confidence in .22 LR if you were ever to have to use it for self defense. I know people that can only shoot .22, men and women, and it's good to see they didn't stop carrying because they couldn't shoot larger calibers anymore.

[@n7565j]

My first carry weapon was a Bersa Thunder in 380. Back in 95, there wasn't as many low cost options so I settled for the low cost Bersa. Carried it for years!!! The rear adjustable site fell out, twice, decided I didn't need it and carried on :-) Have put thousands of rounds through it and taught many high school/college friends of my children to shoot with that very gun! Cheap, accurate, and dependable, what more could you ask for in a sub $300 weapon???

[@duck-n-cover477]

That "fat guy" low ride/deeper concealment holster is good for the Shield, because higher ride, especially appendix carry, has a tendency for the grip to flip/fall out away from the body because the barrel is so short it isn't stabilized or anchored well in the wasteline.

[@donl4914]

If it shoots and it's what's at hand, it's a Home Defense Weapon. You don't need an AR Pistol or a Shotgun to get the job done. As long as you are proficient with it your good. Adrenaline is your true enemy, Stay calm and get it done, there will be plenty of time later to FREAK OUT.......

[@TacticalReview]

"Big Josh" really hit the nail on the head by mentioning (several times) buying ammo and training. That $1500 Gucci gun is gonna be loot for the bad guy if you couldn't afford ammo to train with it after buying the gun!! Firearms proficiency is one of the most perishable skills I've run across.

[@bigdaddy6698]

Ruger EC9s $199.99, $35 holster, 150 rounds of fmj and a box of carry ammo $45, extra mag on sale for $25 out the door just over $300. I love the gun too(did buy $6 worth of glow in the dark paint later for the sights).

[@Andrewlikesguns]

The elitism that is THE WORST is these guys that tell you that unless you're trained to be some sort of commando that you're not an armed citizen, just a gun owner.

[@hermesten1000]

The guys telling you that are phonies and wannabes. The funny thing is, actual operators/commandos don't say shit like that.
