[@CallsignWulf]

The S&W AR's aren't really entry level anymore considering the price compared to features. They are dead basic and don't offer any higher quality than some other brands anymore. And I used to have an OG M&P15. Back when they were lower priced and had better features.

I've gotta say, Palmetto state armory, has become probably my favorite gun manufacturer in the United States. What they've done for the gun community is incredible. They've made it so easy and affordable for the every day American to get into the 2nd amendment community. And now, they've even started an ammo company, all made from raw components, AAC. They are a company that I want to give my money to. Hats off to PSA. Great video Eric!

I love PSA too and I'm sick of people who have never owned a Palmetto saying they have bad quality control or that they are "jam city" I have not seen any issues with PSA AR's and I have seen quite a few of them. Why are there so many PSA haters?

[@brixalpha]

@@Doobie603 you gotta understand PSA has been around for awhile and that "cheap and poor" QA reputation comes from the early years when they still offered great prices but their shipping times and QA were problematic. But they have kept their head down, absorbed a few companies, built up huge following and demonstrated (for the most part) they can and will learn from mistakes.

Eric, I've watched many videos about beginning shooters and guns. Something nobody ever talks about is the ease of cleaning and general maintenance of firearms for beginners. Most modern guns are pretty easy to take care of, but some are easier than others.

[@plumbherhub1664]

I have this italian talfigo I don't remember but it's also known as titan I have a 380 and a 25 auto. These guns are 70 years old and break down without tools well the slide and recoil spring giving you access to trigger mech barrel and hammer. Even the old guns are rather user friendly. And there is something to be said to a new gun owner to own a hammer fired handgun because of the peace of mind when carrying one in the chamber. Nice way to get comfy

[@kellyalger2394]

A used Sears and Robuck shotgun is tough to beat too for quality and price.

Having a gun in your hand and taking it apart makes the process so much more simplified. I believe most people think the Ar15 is a space gun the way the receiver looks, but really it’s a super simple gun.

Honorable mention for shotgun: Remington 870. Great gun, pretty cheap price (around $400-500) and pump action so reliability very good. SIDE NOTE: Had a Mossberg 500 and loved it, so don't think I'm putting them down haha.

[@stevem4783]

Glad the Stoeger M3000 was mentioned. I don't know why, but it's often overlooked and it's as good as you're going to get not only in that price range but as a clone (of the Benelli M2.) I have one with the pistol grip and extended mag tube and sitting next to my buddy's $2k M4, it's hard to tell a difference in materials and quality and it runs all day long. It also has better sights than anything I've seen for that money. Being inertia-driven it's a bit harsher than your gas operated options like the A300 Ultima, 1301 Tactical, and M4, but it's half the price of the A300, a third of the 1301, and a quarter of the M4. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a semi that can't drop a grand or more.

[@OrdinaryAmerican]

Thank you. Haven’t looked into shotguns much and the Stoeger is new to me. Was looking at the A300 after the recent video from Garand Thumb…

[@claytondennis8034]

When a lot of my friends are spending close to 2k on duck hunting shotguns, I still use my 10 year old Stoeger 3500. For less than $600, I have a bird hunting autoloader that can't be beat when it comes to hard use and reliability with any load I've ever run through it.

[@1nfamyX]

Stoeger in general is overlooked, ive had my eye on their stuff for years but theres no reviews of their products by anyone well-known or anyone showing like a torture test. Its all just ppl youve never heard of vouching for them, probably shot like 100 rounds out of it before concluding.

[@stevem4783]

@@1nfamyX Torture tests make for fun videos, sure, but aren't useful real world data. Who's going to run 500 rounds of varying ammo through their shotty rapidly, freeze it solid, dunk it in mud, etc?

It was accurate out to 200 yards and could fire continuously for a few hours as long as I wasn’t using steel cased ammo or hollow tips. The bolt carrier was starting to show some wear but still worked by the time I upgraded to a better upper.

On my Beretta 1301 tactical being a soft shooting 12 gauge I still changed the butt stock with the Mesa Tactical ar15 stock adapter but with the Kenshot hydraulic recoil reducing adjustable buffer tube and Magpul CTR buttstock with a Limb saver butt pad. I put on the Ergo deluxe ar15 grip which is wider which helps have your hand handle the recoil. This is good when shooting stronger recoiling higher velocity defense 00 Buck like Hornady Critical defense 00 buck which is 1600 ft per second.

I found a Glock 17 and a Kel-Tec Sub2000 with the magazine well that accepts the same Glock magazines can be a real lite setup. You've got the carbine as your primary and don't need to carry any different magazines for your backup. We aren't allowed AR's in Canada so that sub2000 is one of the few semi auto we can own. Don't need to worry about AR magazines here so can use those pockets for cards with shotgun slugs and buckshot on there for the 1301.

Beginner: Canik 9mm Maverick 88 Smith & Wesson Sport 2 Master Race: Glock 19 Mossberg 590 Daniel Defense M4V7

[@stevem4783]

I don't agree with the G19 or the DD. Both are good guns but pricey for what you get and hardly "master race." "Master Race" would be getting to the point where you can pick, choose, customize (or build) guns to your specific fit, needs, and preferences which newbies cannot do. You can build a MUCH better gun, fit fully to you, than a DD for a lot less money if you start from scratch. G19 is good, but it doesn't do any one specific thing particularly well (which is why I'd say it's better for a beginner) and it's outdated and overpriced. A PSA Dagger does everything a G19 does at half the price and offers a ton more features like slide cuts, optic cuts, threaded barrels, finish choices, etc. There are far better pistols for EDC, home defense, and range/competition use. Past that, with shotguns, there's nothing wrong with a 590, but master race? That's Beretta 1301 and Benelli M4.

[@thatkajunguy8029]

I'm older than you Eric and grew up shooting revolvers, went to semiautos about 30 years ago, so my list may look a little different than yours.... Depending on how new to firearms we are talking about I would probably go with a revolver, a 38 special revolver, Rossi or something similar if on a budget or S&W, Colt or Ruger if the money is available or a good used one. I agree with the Mossburg shotgun, my preference is the model 500 series and I believe most should own a good AR ot AK but a mid price bolt action in 30/06 has been the standby for decades and has served many generations very well...... My choices are dependent on experience, budget and how much the weapons will actually be used, semiautos have a learning curve; failure to feed, stovepipes, magazine issues and so forth that a totally new shooter will have to learn to deal with........ Also free shipping generally means that new shooter knowing an FFL that will do a transfer for him/her which many don't have...... Love the channel, long time subscriber, seldom commenter 😂

My first were a webley and scott double action .38, a lee enflied 303 no 5 and a beretta 12 gauge semi auto. Just got myself a glock 19, an ak 105 and a smith and wesson 6906. Going to get an AR 15 and G3 next

FNX-45, Daniel Defense DDM4 V7, UTS-9. These are the three weapon combos that I want to own in the future.

[@chanoleyva8584]

Daniel defense is overrated garbage. Get a radian, knights or lmt

[@NevadeanUndergrounder]

​@@chanoleyva8584 Have you ever heard of opinions on a weapon choice of preference? This ain't weapon competition my friend.

[@donsal.t.1765]

I want a Tisas 1911 Tanker, I don't edc 45 but after seeing that piece I have to have it, and it's cheap and reliable from what I've seen.

[@eds7193]

Have a Taurus g2c..12ga ranger slam fire..and a Anderson ar15..all run good!

[@michigunsanta8680]

If anyone asked me I’d say S&W shield plus in 9mm like you said, I’d get a PSA AR (or AK either or) and the old trusty Mossberg 500. 👍🏻 probably bout $1,400 or so for all 3. 🤷‍♂️

[@plutodestroyer12]

my ideal configuration would be… 2 pistols , 2 rifles (one with lvpo) , 1 long gun , 1 semi auto shotgun. i like the idea of having a load out for a buddy if need be. either way this is a great video bro. the majority of us don’t have thousands of free cash to spend on this expensive hobby. ammo is expensive enough and i like to shoot as much as i can.

[@IrnMaiden304]

In other words, 2 pistols and 4 long guns ...

[@blackvivi2488]

M&P 9mm, Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 in 12 Ga, 5.56 M&P Sport 2

[@ryanatkins1660]

Canik elite combat, Mossberg 500 Scorpion and I built an aero percision m4e1 14.5 pinned and welded

[@darrend5741]

Sig P365Macro, S&W AR15, Mossberg 930

[@FL-Kman]
