[@Chebva]

God bless Barry. He points out how many lives can be saved from that .223 pistol. What a wonderful voice he was to the gun community. I bet he never quite understood how important he was to people. He was just so damm cool.

[@WickdPerfekT]

Chebva Romero CUT SHELL TIME

[@WickdPerfekT]

Janusha good point.

[@Brady.John87]

Janusha correct, it's how many people were saved by the use of but that's just common sense. Isnt it?

[@ITILII]

We always hear from the leftist media and politicians how evil guns are. I would bet the VAST majority of Lawful and Responsible gun owners did NOT shoot anyone today, or ever. "Firearms stand next to The Constitution itself, in defense of an American's liberties" - George Washington....“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent crimes, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” - Thomas Jefferson....Looks as if the Father of our Country, and the writer of the greatest political document of all time, agree. Fools these days listen to Pelosi and Schumer....wise Americans heed the words of Washington and Jefferson !!!

[@8bitcritr]

I like that quote "the best gun in the world is the one in your hand"

[@theluth9046]

I been going back and watching the gun gripes over again, they were very informative, but damn, I miss Barry, he was the greatest!

[@Nugrat1]

If you're gonna carry, please use a holster that covers the trigger.

[@stuna101a]

That goes without saying....

[@nathanringerwole9549]

And not some $9.99 nylon one

[@loboguardian7875]

Nugrat1 but why :/ I carry without a holster everyday

[@herooftime7625]

I don't yet until I can get the alien gear holster and mag carrier I want. I have a holster for open carry but it's annoying to deal with some people that see it

[@rottdad775]

@@loboguardian7875 when you get something snagged on the trigger while putting it down your pants and a round goes off into your leg, rupturing the femoral artery, you'll understand the importance of a holster. Too late, though.

[@operatorjohn2878]

Anyone else miss Barry?

[@Olympia_Outdoors]

OperatorJohn hell yeah. He added so much to this channel.

[@aholegunner]

Maybe because we miss the hell out of him. We love the man. He may have died but he will long live!

[@noahsimmons1356]

Yes

[@Videokritiker78]

I do! :-(

[@BosleyBeats]

Everyday

[@TheClosetPrepper]

6 mags in the car "Cause you never know when you may need to get out of trouble..." You are my new hero......Great videos!

[@robertdinicola9225]

I cleaned out my truck the other day. I found 400 rds of 223, 300 rds of 6.5 grendel 50 rds of 44 mag. 500 rds of 22lr. 150 rds of 380. And a box of 35 rem!

[@theykilledjoel1496]

That is a LOT of trouble he could handle

[@scotthiser6733]

I'm going to start checking restrooms everywhere I go. Maybe someday I'll get a free gun lmao

[@byutube4360]

Hopefully there aren’t any bodies on it lol. Eh just sell it on armslist

[@theykilledjoel1496]

I know someone who lost a gun taking a crap at a public party. Don’t get drunk and lose your iron at someone’s house lol

[@lianbrown157]

Always check under the hotel mattress

[@aft5264]

I found a gun one time in the bathroom at my previous job and I was just standing there for a minute or two, wondering if I should snatch that shit or call the cops. Just then my boss walked in and saw what I was looking at. He called the cops and they came and took it. It didn’t belong to anyone I worked with. To this day I wish I would’ve just grabbed it and not said a word.

[@HerbWalker]

Barry , you brought up a GOOD subject. We are about the same age: Do a video on the different phases of YOUR life as you went from one mind set and weapon carry to another, to show the younger guys how it all occurs. The weapons you carried, the holsters, the way of thinking AT THAT TIME that THIS was what suited you best. I have gone from a 22 , 38, to a 45 and stayed finally with my US Army Issue M1911. Preach it son Preach it!!LOL

[@JustStayingGroovy]

You haven't had a like on this comment in ten years. So here you go. Lol

[@jacobdrko]

lol every video I've come across where they bring up a Glock, Barry can't help but to mention the 30+ round extended mag.

[@therugburnz]

Thanx Mr.E and Mr. B,. God bless America. Peace through strength.

[@theykilledjoel1496]

I noticed that as well he seemed to be a big extendo fan lol

[@jessebalentine1009]

Guess they know good guns

[@Rizzie01]

Maybe because he carried a 7+1 1911 for 30+ years so he i's so amazed at 33 rounds he can't help but mention it.😂

[@theykilledjoel1496]

Ryan McCullen yeah I could see that. Rip we miss him

[@StormAngelWolf]

Just liking the vids with Barry I missed. Hope you're smiling down on us old man.

[@ccrowder]

"I have personally witnessed somebody killed with one of these" RIP Barry, but I know that man had some good stories. Anybody who has witnessed a shooting with a 22 magnum pistol has seen some stuff. I have learned a lot from him watching these videos tho, he was gifted and is missed.

[@blardave]

i have personally witnessed a man killed with one of these jesus berry haha.

[@Humberto4790]

@Chad K Are you suggesting that a .22 magnum can't kill a person/ That's an outlandish claim.

[@abolishguncontrollaws5689]

@Chad K you need to read up on Barry from people who know him. Gun forums is a good start

[@willfromsc1168]

@Chad K Whats to say it was a murder? Maybe Barry was in a gas station bathroom and a tweaker tried to molest him and Barry let the magnum bark. Just Saying.

[@luccianomolaro7114]

I wouldnt doubt he seen someone shot back in the 50s or 60s in South Georgia no where

[@ThisNewHandleSystemSucks]

@Chad K He never said it was murder. Could have easily been an accident/ negligent discharge.

[@slyrez]

Barry's seen some shit

[@spacetrucker2952]

I wouldn't recommend it.

[@johnnypopulus5521]

reza man was a bad ass.

[@d2nasty696]

After carrying for about 8 years, I keep going back to the revolver as my edc firearm. I just like the feel of them on the hip and the lightweight of the firearm loaded. I just recently changed my Taurus 605 to the 856 for the extra round and a kidex holster. My carry load is the Remington 125gr SJHP for now since i can't seen to find much variety during these covid times. I am more accurate from this little revolver than any other of my firearms. That said, if i need more fire power my safe has plenty of that to have me covered.

[@MrChalupaMonkey]

Funny story I carry Glock 17 everywhere I go and when they went to Home Depot and how to use the restroom. As I was sitting there I heard a Glock mags at the floor because it was by my feet I checked my gun and it was a wrong size caliber turns out an officer had walked in was using the stall next to mine and his mag fell out and slid underneath the stall. I gave it back to him underneath the stall and her distant thank you.

[@pm69669]

Lol

[@frugalprepper]

I am surprised you didn't cover more 380's. The 380 compact guns seem to meet a threshold of consistent pocket carry for many many people. It seems like a see more new guns and designs in this caliber lately than just about any other. I carry a Colt Mustang myself and it has been great.

[@l3arrett82]

380 aint no joke with the lehigh defence xtreme penetrators. then penetrate like a fmj but do more damage than a hollow point.

[@l3arrett82]

if you were involved in a self defense shooting and they asked you why you did not chose a 380 and you said. "because i dont want the smallest possible bullet to kill with" thats probably going to make things a hell of a lot worse for your case. if you would read my previous comment and get down off that high horse and look at the round i suggested. you will see it is better than a 9mm hollow point. even though it is a 380.

[@frugalprepper]

Taylor Martin Oh, I was under the misconception that even a 22 would kill, my mistake. Heck, I am going to go shoot myself a few times with my 22 right now, since it won't kill me.

[@frugalprepper]

Taylor Martin Well crap, all this time I have been carrying more than on bullet when I carry a 9mm. I am carrying all those extra rounds for nothing, because on shot will magically stop and kill anyone.

[@l3arrett82]

never said i use a 380, once again i advise you to look at the lehi defense 380 xtreme penetrator in gel. more damage and deeper penetration than a 9mm hallow point.

[@crxmad2killu]

Love my glock 19 as my edc and my keltec sub 2000 9mm as a car rifle folds in half perfect car gun

[@theykilledjoel1496]

Take same mags?

[@thomabb]

"You're not gonna want to go out to dinner with your wife and children with this on..." I have gone out to dinner with my wife with my big ass .45 revolver hanging off my hip many times. If we are out at camp and decide to run into town to grab dinner I ain't going to leave my hand cannon behind.

[@byutube4360]

Lucky you, you must not live in South Carolina, where open carry of pistols is banned

[@ARMEXEEOS]

Don't scroll down. Its a minefield of jimmy rustling.

[@johnnypopulus5521]

ARMEXEEOS now I have to.

[@thomasflagg7209]

Lately I’ve been carrying my CZ 75, and I’m not big-5’6”, 150. I love this gun, even though it’s big and heavy. I’ve gone thru a few holsters , finally settled on a leather iwb just behind my right hip. It doesn’t print, and I may be odd, but I find the weight sort of comforting, not bothersome. And the gun aims itself. But like these fellas , I also like small revolvers and Glocks. I agree with their notion of consistent carry. I wear my carry gun all day, every day, so my hand knows where it is and how it works. Thanks for a good video.

[@transfixleo]

33 round magazine, huh? Try that here in the Peoples Republic of NY! 7 round limit because Comrade Cuomo thus saith: "You don't need more than that for hunting"

[@tennisguyky]

Love Barry! RIP love listening to his tips and stories.

[@barneyrubble3440]

I thought that was the second rule of a gunfight. The first rule of a gunfight is if you are going to a gunfight, don't go.

[@frugalprepper]

Yeah, avoidance is rule number 1

[@Boomie789]

What if the gunfight is for life and liberty? Or you're Stephan willeford? Something to ponder.

[@blowme2129]

fuck that if he desicrates your honor its dueling time

[@therugburnz]

Yes, and blow me. God bless 'Merica. Long live Publicans. Ya know the kind Jebus hanged, shit, I mean hung out with. Long live the Prostitutes as well. If it's good enough for the Son of Man it's good enough for me, and I don't even deserve it.

[@grahamlopez6202]

Rule 1: bring a gun Rule 2: bring all your friends who have guns Rule 3: try to not get shot if you can help it.

[@TuxedoMagnum]

This makes me glad I live in an open carry state. I can wear a full-size duty pistol anywhere, and I don't have to worry about it. Great video, guys! Excellent points on everything, especially where carrying concealed is concerned. If I had to carry concealed everywhere I would certainly want something more compact.

[@yodelingjoe]

I was ALMOST carjacked last week...good thing I had my SW 642 ( the little revolver they showed in the beginning of the video) The 6 gentleman that thought I would be an easy target quickly reevaluated their decision to put their hands on my car door handles at 10pm at night in a shady area....

[@jeremymenchaca]

My EDC gun is an S&W SD9VE. Mainly because it is the only one I have. :(

[@7575hoss]

I am a police officer and I like the tought of people carrying cause if I get into trouble, I would hope that they would step in and help out. and now a days with all of the cuts to L.E. departments you need to protect your slef. Love the show keep up the good work.

[@Airsofter1999]

I would like to hear the story where someone was killed with the .22 magnum. It sounds interesting.

[@zagorith14]

Airsofter1999 When mafia members would perform a hit, it was not uncommon to see them use a little .22 LR pistol to do so.

[@JonboyD84]

I saw a video on the interwebs a while back, of a police officer shot with a .22 mag, who died. He shot the guy several times with a .357 mag, I believe, and he lived. I think the officer was hit around his armpit somewhere. I believe it was a single hit

[@jgrilla6084]

Its in one of the gun gripe vids

[@randallpickard6187]

It's all about shot placement

[@theykilledjoel1496]

I also read somewhere that 80% of the time a gun is pulled in civilian defense no one is shot it’s usually just like *click* HEY stop, and even if that isn’t enough.22 mag will probably get the job done

[@greathornedowl3644]

Finally Gun Gripes when guns are on the counter, good discussion. Regarding carry, rotate carry gun between CZ 75, Sig P6 both 9mm, and Ruger security six .357. Also own Colt Trooper III in both .357 and .22 - great shooting

[@user-ge2qn6gp4o]

The whole point of carrying is you never know when you are going to need it. If you are only carrying sometimes than you are defeating the purpose of having the gun in the first place. Now as an average citizen if you are going somewhere where you are sure you are going to need it that day, than maybe you need to rethink the places you go to.

[@SEMOyogi1]

Great vid, guys. For the past 4 years, I've consistently carried an XD-SC 9mm (with a 16 rd mag) in the 5:00 position on my back and when wearing lighter clothing, a CW-9 either in my front pocket or in a belly band. Both weapons are so easy to carry that I'm not tempted to go without. You are 100% right about adapting a single carry system and just sticking with it.

[@Kjaskaar]

Remind me to check Walmart restrooms more often.

[@OldMusicFan83]

I favor revolvers myself. Short barreled snubbie in a pocket holster & 2 speed loaders on a belt pouch. When hikiing I carry a larger Ruger .357 with a 4" barrel on my back hip. Recently got a Bulgarian Makarov 9mm. Super dependable, accurate & easily concealed.

[@Apprenticetothesith]

I'm a unique individual: whenever I hear that I can't or shouldn't do something, I double down out of spite. My EDC is a full-size, double stack combat pistol in 9mm.

[@Apprenticetothesith]

+chris alvarado Did Barretta fix the reliability issues with the a1? A lot of my Army buddies complain about the g.i. version.

[@Loogielicker69]

Libidine the GI m9 has problems because they go through hundreds of thousands of rounds, and their parts are mixed up and reused. Civilian m9s are some of the best semi autos available

[@herooftime7625]

I use an xd 2.0 in .40 in as big as you can get it or close to it in this model and i love it. Feels almost weightless

[@MaCabaret]

Weak. If you really felt that way you’d carry something in .50 AE.

[@grahamlopez6202]

I carry a glock17, 2 magazines, and a knife. I also keep a 30rd mag under the seat in my car incase I need to get spicy with it

[@shaundoodles]

I'm glad I grew up with guns involved in hunting. Seers do not get thrown back and blood is usually minimal. But once that bullet went down ranger, that was it and there was some finality to that reality. Consistency goes hand in had in all aspects of gun ownership whether its carrying, shooting, management, ammo and reloading, or introduction. My children will grow up respecting the several implements I possess.

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

I have 2 concealed carry guns. A Glock 30s if I'm wearing loose clothing, and a Kel-Tec PF-9 for tight fitting clothing or dress attire. I personally don't really like the Kel-Tec, but like the guys said, it sure beats nothing.

[@MrDlwdude]

I carried a Beretta m96 40 caliber for a few years and then carried a friends 380 one day and realized concealed carry didn't have to be a chore so i recently purchased a ruger lcp 380 and absolutely love it

[@Mukanjabarsobdassem]

I wish Barry could’ve been my friend. He’s so freaking cool.

[@richardwiley5933]

Wow! You guys are the 1st to talk about my 2 favorite handguns! I'm old and skinny and my CZ75-P01 was getting a bit heavy to carry comfortably, so I opted for the Glock 26. When I went to gun stores looking at the G26, and mentioned the CZ, all I got was blank stares - no one knew what a CZ75 was! Imo - and many other's - the CZ75 series are among the finest handguns ever made. Great video as usual, guys.

[@meteoricthrone]

CZ seems to be the brand with the least recognition here, even though their designs are some of the most copied in the world. Love my SP-01 Tactical and P-07.

[@johnrice1943]

I conceal carry a 1911 govt model on weekends, a bersa on weekdays.

[@leofightsback6514]

I know this in particular show is 9 years old but I just want you guys to know that I carry my Kel-Tec plr 223 pistol as my second pistol for 10 years now. I think it's cool for everyday carry and I have just ensure that I can carry it everywhere I go as my second pistol or backup pistol by wearing the appropriate clothes and keeping it on the sling. You guys rock

[@chraw1983]

the only reason i prefer a 1911 over a stock glock is because you cant shoot led out of a stock glock barrel. have to buy aftermarket. my opinion. and why is there so many haters on here hating on guns??? my question is if you hate guns so much why are you even watching gun videos?

[@thebusterdog6358]

They're lonely. Long ago everyone they know stopped listening to them.

[@polaire801]

They may not have filled their rage quota for the day.

[@KatotownUSA]

I have a desert eagle and people ask me why I don't carry it... I tell them to go play call of duty and watch face off. Comfortable EDC is key. Whatever you're most likely to carry..small enough to conceal but big enough to fight with is key. In the winter, it's a walther PPQ 9mm with trijicon NS. LCP for ankle backup. LCP EDC during the summer months. There will never be enough videos on this topic. Great topic

[@rufusbum]

Eric: "Awww Bob Saget!!!! Piss!!!"

[@CrazyhorseTx]

I'm kind like barry at my age, I've caried many firearms, i remember having a Mossberg 12, a Winchester 30-30, and a Marlin SS 22 semi auto rifle's on the rack in my pickup all the time.. and carried a S&W 44 mag in a sholder holster on my self... thies days you would get stopped at every corner displaying thies rifles in the back window of a pickup. I alternate my beretta 9 and my taurus pt-1911, I still use a shoulder (detective rig) holster because I use a cross draw method...

[@Agent-sb5jy]

Barry lives on!

[@thepalatrpro]

I wish Barry were still around. I just got my first pistol, a Taurus 9mm G2C this year. I now also own a Ruger SR9 and a Midland 12 gauge backpacker plus was issued my conceal carry license in Indiana. My next piece I’m wanting as a backup is a revolver, not sure what though. I’m admiring the Judge and the Governor but there’s just SO many options! You guy’s did excellent video’s. Straight and to the point.

[@KenH737]

B. W. Check out the Ruger LCR. Super light and fits in your pocket.

[@opennashville2913]

I carry my s and w m and p 40 every day openly.love from Louisiana

[@brosrcool]

Just like always when i watch you guys, I learn something! Thank you

[@michaelr.1709]

For all the people who think it is crazy that people would carry a gun every day, a woman was decapitated by dogs this week in my area. I have been attacked by dogs 3 times in the last 10 years. I probably will never have to draw a gun on a human being, but I almost certainly will have to shoot a dog. The statistics show that police are 6x more likely to commit a serious crime than a licensed concealed carry holder. A non-concealed carry holder is 220x (not percent, times) more likely to commit a serious crime, and black males are 3000x more likely to commit a serious crime. We commit almost no crime, so what is your problem with us? It is you who shouldn't even be allowed in schools and out in public with those statistics.

[@herooftime7625]

Lithus17 people who think concealed/open carry people are crazy or live in fear for carrying a gun is who he's talking about

[@aholegunner]

Lithus17 On almost every comment, your trying to start shit. Grow the fuck up.

[@thedealerofdeath100]

I'm a black cop that cc every day. What's my x (times)??? Oh yeah and I don't have a ccl because of Kansas law. I about forgot that one

[@MuseM1911]

I have a FEG PA-63 Hungarian 9mm Makarov with a Uncle Mike holster. I carry it in the woods and never had a problem with the magazine drop. I LOVE MY "MAKAROV"! Its design just fits to my hand. It's like the gun was make just for me! I would suggest it a PA-63 to any gun owner. It has size appropriate sights. They may seem small but I can drive nails with my PA-63.

[@Sam-iw6te]

"Lets just face it. Sometimes there are days where we just don't feel like carrying our guns." What?

[@olfreeman714]

I said the same thing!

[@glenwad6322]

might be in a hurry, or have to wear certain clothing for the firearm you carrying.

[@Sam-iw6te]

I have never understood that. Ever. If you're gonna carry you're GONNA CARRY. My dad and I both never struggle with this, and even when you have to "get up and go" its not a problem to holster your weapon, grab some ammo and go! Personally, a loaded revolver and a couple if speed loaders are almost always on me. If they are not it's because I am at home, where I am surrounded by firepower. But even then, why stop carrying (ya know, unless you're sleeping)?

[@Sam-iw6te]

CWG90, we're having a discussion, not a childish back and forth argument. You do not belong here if all you want to do is start such an argument. And I have a feeling you have never even read my comments. If you think I'm self righteous, paranoid, or a "gun nut" you must remember something: You don't know me. And I don't care what you think; your opinion is your own. MY way of going about carrying a gun is MY way ONLY. So shut up, grow up and keep up.

[@DirkDeadeye]

I carry a 6" 686. I mean, there are just some days I don't wanna lug that fucker around. /s

[@letsdothis9063]

Just had to come back all of these years later for some Barry. He was a great foundation to what has become a huge channel.

[@machetephil1631]

I conceal carry my Glock 23 in a Galco IWB EVERYWHERE I go in my home state. You gentlemen couldn't be more correct about consistency. Great gripe. keep up the good work.

[@JGOIII1978]

My wife and I carry a Glock 30sf and an M&P 40c during winter. We also carry a Kahr PM9 and the P380 during summer time. Different guns for different purposes and you'll always be armed.

[@makun16]

I have never had that problem. Mine has always been like the AKM, it works every time. I ran a brand new gen 4 G23 out of the box 200 rounds and did not have one malfunction; even after dropping in a 9mm barrel, it was just as reliable.

[@christurner8255]

It's been 10 years. This channel has grown and has become very successful. I wonder what Barry would think.

[@gobbly1337]

I like the video. I carry a 1911 or LCP. The two work out well. I feel most comfortable with the 1911, and it's by far my favorite handgun. The LCP is great whenever the 1911 doesn't cut it like deep conceal where I simply cannot have anyone know I am carrying, or for quick jaunts to the corner store or back laundry room where it's not worth taking the time to get the 1911 setup concealed.

[@Gun_Molester]

I lived down there fore a while and many people i met still had something they were supposed to turn in...good on them!!! Cheers

[@salame462]

Damn. I had a Bersa .380 and that gun was sweet. Super accurate and never had a problem at the range with it. Wish I still had it.

[@Sh3riffGotcha]

I got the CZ as my first gun and shortly after realized it was way to heavy for every day carry. This is a good video to push home the point of making sure the best gun for you is the one you will carry.

[@highlandbutch]

your point about consistant carry with the same weapon is good. a couple of months again i bought a sig p238 and its always in my pocket as long as i have pants or shorts on.

[@bigceno]

This is one of my favorite KZbin channels ! Thanks for all the information you guys provide .

[@Illuminati2347]

I have always liked and believed in the statement: "I'd rather have a gun and not need it than not having a gun and need it." I think people should be able to equip themselves to a level where they can feel safe to live in the society they live in. Keep up the good work and great videoes.

[@CMB13311]

S&W M&P Shield 9mm (a 7rd & an 8rd mag + 1 in the chamber) is my EDC. And a full size 40 cal Taurus PT 24/7 PRO (two 14rd mags + 1 in the chamber) is my truck gun. Neither one has ever had a malfunction and they eat any ammo I put thru them.

[@RichL57]

Love Barry s southern boy accent. Barrys voice and guns go hand in hand. Wish he was still with us.

[@ScoobyDigites]

love revolvers first gun I owned and the following three were revolvers even with all the advancements in firearms revolvers still have a place in the world.

[@HokkaidoHiguma-j3j]

not old enough to carry but when i can i will def. carry my sr9c love that gun!

[@RemoteViewr1]

Ankle carry has the good default feature that you will never brush against it, pat it, touch near there to see if it is still there. And my glock 26 is just a quiet little hitchhiker down there, so comfortable I go my whole day and don't think about it. Doesn't alter my arm swing, stride or print at all. I always have my ankle with me.

[@richbeata]

When I bought my one and only handgun, a Glock 17 9mm way back in the 90's, I thought they were ugly too. But over the years, after seeing how good of a gun it is in so many aspects, I now see the Glock as a cool looking gun.

[@GerhardScheidSnow]

So funny hearing Eric say he carries a glock 26 everyday when now he says he carries an s&w haha

[@vincemcmahonreadskoran3120]

He's keeping his enemies confused as to what weapons he is carrying. Imagine the weapons he carries but doesn't tell us about.

[@jmgrant2468]

I'm a cop from Indiana and I'm heading down to Florida in a cpl weeks. I can't wait to stop in and say hey to Eric and Barry.

[@greghughey9738]

7.5" Redhawk in 44 mag. Get yourself a well made shoulder holster and you'll never notice it's there. I don't leave my bedroom without it.

The CZ-82 is my EDC piece. It is a very well built pistol that carries a reasonable number of rounds and has one of the nicest DA/SA triggers I've ever used. The 9mm Makarov round is more powerful than the 380, and nearly as powerful as the 9mm Luger - and Hornady makes a terrific personal defense round in 9mm Mak. I believe the CZ-82 to be an excellend daily carry choice.

With the recent advent of hybrid IWB holsters, it's quite possible to carry a CZ 97b concealed and do it comfortably for 16 hours a day. You just need a quality, double-thick and/or reinforced gun belt ($60-80) to go with the holster.

Great vid! I bought a glock 23 for cc and shortly realized it is not the easiest to conceal, nor the most comfortable. I love it and its a great firearm but just a little too much to cc everyday, especially in FL. I plan on getting a Kahr CM9 or the Taurus PT709 to resolve this issue.

If you take the time while you are on the toilet to double check your fit and adjust your holster you wont forget it. I usually use the back restroom at walmart its cleaner and has fewer people. I sometimes even disassemble my firearms in the stall and put them back together along with double checking that the gun is fully loaded. With my sd9ve this takes about one minute (it dissasembles the same as a glock) and my backup gun is a PF9 that takes about two minutes to field strip and double check. So now we are at about three to four minutes in to this poop which means its time to reholster

My main carry gun is a 40cal. S&W Sidgma right now. As soon as I get my Sig P250SC that will be my EDC. The manual of arms is the same but the Sig I feel is a little more reliable to use as my EDC. I still love my S&W and may change off every now and then but The Sig wins out. They are both 40cal. and I will carry them exactally the same way. Peace guy. Another good one.

I carry a Ruger LCP. I like the smooth edges and the pocket holster is designed so when it is in my front pocket, it looks like a smart phone if you see it through my pants. I tried carrying my S&W M&P 9mm but it was simply too bulky and heavy. I am giving up some firepower but I am carry to prevent being mugged or attacked for whatever reason. I feel comfortable believing I will only have to unload 2-3 rounds to defend myself.

Glock 22 for HD/SHTF, Glock 27 for Truck/Heavy Carry, P3AT for Light Carry. Same manual of arms for all (no safety, medium weight double action trigger pull). One could even do G17/G26/PM9 or use the G23/G19 for HD, or substitute LCP/LC9 instead of the P3AT. Sometimes I like to CCW the G27 on strongside, and P3AT on the weak side... The P3AT weighs less than an extra glock magazine, and if you are ever caught in a situation where you cannot draw strongside but can draw weakside, you are GTG.

I at one time said I would never buy a Glock. I have also seen the light. I will have to agree that the Glock 26 is the best overall EDC gun out there. I tried every way to convince myself other wise but the 26 just kept rising back to the top. Great gun.....I love it.

[@shooterfan1974]

Where do I start with this vid? 1)How the holy blue blue ball blazes do y'all have THAT much ammo on the shelf? 2)WHERE do I order Eric's epic Tshirt with Barry's beard silhouetted on it? My life needs that shirt! 3)"Glock's have spoiled me." Well said, Barry. Well said.

[@shannonherb2048]

I carry my SR9C everyday in the cooler months. I transition to the Bodyguard 380 in the warm months. I train extensively before I transition. Great video.

[@ihatebofa6]

according to one of my favorite gun nut authors, Larry Correia, given proper defensive loadings you have that backwards. Pistol rounds have more of a broblem with over penetration than 5.56.

[@HK45infidel]

The Glock is Safe-Action, it is never "cocked" until you pull the trigger. All 3 safeties are engaged until the trigger is pressed.

[@akmarksman]

all 4 seasons up here in Alaska, I EDC my RIA 1911. 8 shots of .45ACP,followed by a 8 round reload.

[@gabemazing]

ruger lcp with pocket clip is my new favorite super comfortable

[@kingd3001]

One of my consistent carry is the taurus 605 poly protector 357 magnum great carry piece fully load with 5 rounds of hornady critical defense 125gr jhp 22.4 oz

[@heidinicole9614]

Taurus' pt111 g2 is great! I am a woman and its not tiny but manageable. People need to remember you need to be ably to put your hand on the grip strong enough to fire immediately. Plus I like having 12+1 in the chamber. Those tiny/pink handguns don't do it for me.

[@ej2659]

The PPS is a great carry gun. And it has been doing it long before the Shield or the 43.

[@RoadieRon]

I Open Carry via a Springfield XDm 45ACP with the 4.5 barrel and a 13 round magazine. I also upgraded the recoil rod which made a huge difference in recoil. I bought the Tungsten Carbide Guide Rod from brass stacker dot com

[@thereallantesh]

The title of this video drives home a great point. It doesn't matter what you carry as long as you do it consistently. For years I owned two full size S&W semi-auto pistols. I never carried either one though because the size, and weight got in the way of my daily life. I recently traded one of those in on a Glock 42, and now I take the Glock with me as much as possible. My biggest challenge is my sole transportation is my motorcycle, so I can't carry when I go to work, because I don't have a car to store the Glock in during work hours. Taking the Glock inside my place of business is not an option as I would be terminated instantly if anyone found out, plus I couldn't secure it anyway, and that is not safe. So unfortunately I find I can only carry on my days off. While not ideal it is still better than my previous situation of not carrying at all.

[@theElderberryFarmer]

Great video, guys! Keep them coming, I take away something of value from each and every one of them. As you pointed out about consistent carry, any gun is better than no gun. To that, I'd add that the gun that you find the most comfortable is the one that will get carried the most.

[@drmaudio]

I don't know how many times I have been told that the 8-shot 9mm I am always carrying is not enough gun... Almost always by someone who's .45 is in their safe.

[@SuperDeluxe80]

i like the bersa's almost all there guns are small in different calibers too.

[@americankulak8301]

Because the ideology of it is strange to most, but the simplicity of the matter is rather simple. I just strap it on in the morning and it never leaves my side the rest of the day. No different than having a phone, wallet, knife, pen, etc that you carry every day. It's honestly that easy :) And I open carry every day, and only two friends have ever noticed it. Hidden in plain view, I've never ran into any trouble or scared anyone. :)

[@jessicagrecco5813]

Barry god rest your soul watch over me with your eyes I carry a sw 642 snubby and I love it gets the job done

[@scrmngchicken403]

I agree with your points. I have four kids and "a few" guns in the house. My two year old knows about and respect firearms. My 9 year old has fired a few of my rifles. It all goes down to proper education.

[@thephoenix134]

I know it may seem odd, but stockless AR's and especially the Yugo AK's are very easy to conceal in a vehicle and can provide just the right amount of firepower

[@d.j.9961]

It is good to see Barry! I miss him & his knowledge!
