My Top Five Lucky Gunner Videos [500K Subscribers!]

[@basher2209]

I’ll never forget the look on the dude’s face when Manny walked up and took and picture with his Polaroid like it was just another day. Brilliant.

[@tmar697]

One of my favorite channels to recommend to new shooters. The demeanor and delivery are superb. Congratulations on the growth.

[@LuckyGunner]

Awesome, thank you!

[@xtangero]

Congrats! Don't think for a second that the higher quality of your productions doesn't go unnoticed--it's good to see production value paired with outstanding knowledge. A lot of channels with good polish tend to be mostly noise, but you guys push actual signal through

[@LuckyGunner]

Thanks, Tangero!

[@crazeeaz]

I sent my dad the Manny video and he did not realize it was a joke. He and Manny could be range buddies.

[@LuckyGunner]

I love it when people take Manny seriously.

[@DoomMajster]

Manny is the guy!

[@paladinhill]

@@LuckyGunner Somebody needs to tell Manny the .45 isn't the best round anymore. The .50 is now the best.... when you want fast action, ain't nuthin like a 50 Action Express!! 🙂

[@PerceptionVsReality333]

@@paladinhill IMO the 40s&w is the best pistol caliber because of the speed & power combo.

[@project86xero]

@@PerceptionVsReality333 OH NO YOU DI'INT!

[@homesteadishdad]

You should be at a million already because of the quality content you provide, not just here but also in the Lucky Gunner Labs. Congrats!

[@ChrisB.C.]

Manny's line, "But, women and Europeans may appreciate the lighter recoil." Seriously one of the funniest things I've ever heard! 😄

[@rickjohnson3215]

Chris: Your video on blow back vs recoil operating systems was great! I had been trying to explain the differences to my wife and failed miserably. At that time I owned a S&W 380 ez and she bought a Bersa Thunder 380. The recoils wer very different and I couldn’t give an explanation that she could follow. I showed her your video and she caught on to the differences were right away. Thank you so much for your continuing efforts and keep up the great work you do with Luck Gunner. And, yes I do buy my ammunition from you when I can.

[@Wizler71]

One of my favorites was "Choosing Pepper Spray for Everyday Carry". It made a lot of sense as a "less severe" option (with less legal consequences) should I need to use it. Not saying it replaces a gun but it's an option that I appreciate.

[@tomahawk5827]

Your lever gun series was outstanding!

[@TreeTop1947]

Yep, Chris' levergun series was probably my favorite, as well. TreeTop

[@NB_Cowboy]

Chris, I love your channel and one of the videos that got me really into it is the M1 carbine series. I was given one by a family member a while ago, and it's an absolute blast to shoot. Shares a lot of the good ideas that helped drive the M16 imo and what makes that platform special. I too feel the pain of searching for .30 carbine lol

[@kylecarmichael5890]

Congratulations on 500K. You are just a really great presenter and I learn something every time.

[@FCV0511]

It's always a wonderful day when Manny Mansfield takes the top spot! I crack up every time I see those rounds impacting that tin can. Here's to another decade of LuckyGunner - you guys consistently put out some of the most informative and highest production quality videos out there. Many thanks to say the very least.

[@boatbikemike8571]

“Best Revolver….. in the world” will always be my favorite. The only Jeremy Clarkson reference in Gun Tube

[@waynebruening794]

Hey CB, I’ve been watching your vid’s for 3-4yrs & have ordered various Ammo several times! Keep up the Grand work Y’ALL :) WB from GA

[@hoosiered471]

Properly operating and reloading the pump shotgun were some of my favorite videos from LG. What about reviewing more ammo??? Like the various M193 offerings vs. the many MK262 offerings???

[@definitelynotacrab7651]

The manny mansfield videos with the bullets bouncing of the tin can and flattening without penetrating the paper target will always be some of my favorite firearm related content on KZbin. Congrats on 500k!

[@-RM-]

I loved the various videos you created during your search for that "just right" DA/SA carry pistol. I suppose I enjoyed those the most because I was on that very same journey! I finally settled on the Beretta PX4 Storm Compact (non-LTT model, but with the "G" modification). A lot of my decision to go that route came from you, Chris! I appreciate all you do.

[@jmoreno1825]

Also, your ammo videos/data is awesome. I'd love to see you include more ammos (mainly the kind you have in stock) to your handguns ballistics sheets. Heck even rifle ammo, because I feel like the video you did at (I believe) the federal factory and hearing what those guys said about pistol vs rifle ballistics is awesome content

[@Just1Guy1000]

What I love about this channel is the topics that you cover that are not necessarily along with the latest hotness. Two that come to mind are the TDA (specifically the PX4 Storm Compct) and the lever gun series. Keep up the great content.

[@JusticeFreedomDestin]

Chris, you’re one of the main reasons I’m into firearms. Your subject knowledge, transparency and overall, calm demeanor is a gem among the hard guitar, high speed-low drag wannabes. You’ve made a lot of good videos, but some of made favorites include the 22LR manufacturing tour (I grew up in MN, so that was cool to see inside that facility), your 2020 handgun recommendations video, your 380 EZ review, and your home defense carbine video. Oh of course any videos featuring Manny are a special treat. For the future, I’d like to see more interviews with training experts. Those are really interesting. The how-to series are great starters, and even the gun reviews, as cut-and-dry that type of content is, have your specific perspective and original experiences. Thanks for all your hard work. Treat yourself to a nice meal and have a good one

[@rcbrush99]

This channel is my favorite source for common sense gun discussions and ballistics data. Your dedication to the community makes it so easy to repay with ammo purchases from your excellent website. Please keep it going! Thank you.

[@mountainhobo]

Congratulations, Chris! Love your Manny series. You're gaining weight, btw.

[@benb5960]

Congrats. I enjoyed a lot of your videos but two that stood out for me were on your EDC (.32 Snub) and the one on your S&W 3953 (as I have one and think it’s great).

[@fununclenerfs]

I'd love to see Manny's viewpoints on Pump vs Semi-Auto Shotguns, AR-15 vs AKM, etc.

[@zoltannagy2920]

Have always been very pleased with your content Chris, and watch them all to the end (and some multiple times). Your balance of firearm types you feature is very much withing my sphere of interest (wheel guns included). Thank You !!!

[@silver4drrx828]

I honestly thought the M1 Carbine series was spectacular! Just love the history behind it. I have a soft spot for history. Then again, I love all these vids you put out. All educational and the Manny vids are just SIMPLY SPLINDED!

[@Moss535]

Congratulations on 500subs always enjoy a new video from you, and I agree that we definitely need more Manny videos in our life!

[@zackschmidt4381]

Becoming a practical riflemen an the scout rifle videos are my favorites!

[@MachineNun]

Your channel's video on 870 modifications is a pretty big part of what gave me the confidence to buy one in the first place. It's since been reworked beyond recognition, and it's easily my favorite firearm in my collection. Thank you for that.

[@alecubudulecu]

This is awesome. I’ve been watching your vids and buying ammo from you since 2019. Y’all are literally mine and wife’s initials guides into getting into firearms.

[@SH-zv2wy]

A great set! The shotgun / gunsmith one was my favorite. As usual they are all filled with great info delivered in a genuine manner.

[@johnkinsel5027]

I found your channel a couple years ago, and went back to catch all the past episodes. Your pick for top 5 was spot on. I have watched that 32 episode multiple times.

[@kaveman9]

Multiple, multiple, multiple times. Ammo is unavailable but I have enough components to load for the rest of my life. The problem is the dismal availability of the guns themselves. Collectibility of the few out here have taken prices through the stratosphere. I've actually taken to collecting destroyed examples with the intention of rebuilding them.

[@johnanthony6038]

So glad to see the M1 series included, my favorite all time rifle that I’ve been shooting since I was a kid. Best gun channel on KZbin, keep up the awesome work. I’ve learned a lot from the knowledge you share, thanks a million 🙏🙏🙏

[@mountainview540]

Congratulations on 500k. Its been a long time coming. Lots of gun channels out there and this is in my top 2

[@SatansPooper]

how about a common caliber guide for the new(ish) shooter. for the hobbyists looking to progress past 22lr and 9mm luger. Id watch that for the ballistics datasheets alone.

[@seandurns110]

Congrats! You run a great and thoughtful channel.

[@LuckyGunner]

Thanks, Sean!

[@Buggapanda]

Congrats on the milestone! Keep up the good work, your videos are my favourite firearm related content on KZbin by far

[@johnbarton859]

KUDOS from a .32 fan. love your videos and look foward to them with eager anticipations.

[@EricDaMAJ]

This is one of the best educational content gun tube channels out there. I do enjoy Manny and hope you find another archived video but I understand how less is more in his case.

[@BillHimmel]

Mannie`s best vid was about the pocket pistols! Just classic!

[@TylerHulan]

I had always thought the .32 revolver calibers were interesting. Your video definitely pushed me over the edge and made me track one down. I've been a subscriber for years and I always send new shooters your way. Thanks for everything you guys do.

[@chrish8496]

Many Mansfield is amazing! I hope you find some more 😊 Also, as much as I would love more content, the scarcity makes it more valuable. Keep up the quality work!

[@BehindTheGoldenCurtain]

Best firearm content on KZbin. Keep it going!

[@samduffy1636]

Congrats!! Loved the shotgun violin reload video!

[@Brad-ic4bp]

I love my M1 Carbine too, and kudos to Lucky Gunner for usually having at least one option of that ammo in stock when I want to buy it.

[@gpclipner]

I really enjoyed the.32 stubby vid. Really opened up my eyes. Loved the M1 Carbine series very much.

[@Rollermanfromspace]

Don’t worry about the volume of content, the stuff you make is top notch. Keep it that way!

[@M.M.83-U]

It's a pleasure to be here. You converted me to the .32 crew. I will add the lever action serie to the "best of" compilation.

[@Harry-O]

I get tired of channels that use nicknames for what they may be talking about, and I have to stop and Google it before I continue. I have never had to do that with you, sir. If you use a different name to describe what you’re talking about, you explain both names. Thanks for what you guys do. We love it.

[@Slavolko]

Congrats on 500k subcribers. Your team deserves it. Make sure to keep in mind that the subscriber count isn't what matters most. Instead, it's the quality of your content, at least a loose sense of consistency, and average view count. You're doing good on those fronts, so keep it up.

[@borkwoof696]

Thank you for providing us with the best free self-defense content for the everyman. No other channel quite reaches the quality, nuance and entertainment as your channel. Keep going!

[@joealva9062]

HELL YEAH BROTHER CHRIS I LOVE TO SEE THIS FOR LUCKY GUNNER!!!! YOU DO AN AWESOME JOB ON SCREEN AND YOUR PRESENTATION SKILLS HAVE HELPED ME WITH MY CONFIDENCE IN PRESENTING!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!

[@bencrane8505]

I really enjoy the Manny videos. (They all fall to hardball 😂), but the Requiem for the Sig P239 really tugged at my heart strings. I still often carry mine in .357 Sig. Cheers to another 500k Chris.

[@clamum9648]

Snap, I'm gonna have to watch that recoil vs blowback video. I've always wondered what the difference was and any meager explanation I've heard in the past was useless. Just added to my Watch Later. Love your videos big 🐕 cheers to another 500k

[@facundomouly9446]

Really loved your .32 revolvers video. In my country they are fairly common, so I started searching for one and it turns out my grandpa had bought an all steel .32 Taurus in '01 and never used it. So he gave it to me recently and I can't wait to go and test it out on the range!

[@aethlwulf777]

First: Congratulations on 500K! Second: Please bring back the cool outros! I loved them!

[@jameslooker4791]

You write some of the best videos essays I've ever found. You should be proud of your skills.

[@jimmymassie8420]

Congratulations on 500k, Have always enjoyed your content. I find the channel full of valuable information.

[@galactic_dragon]

Congratulations! I have learned so many awesome things from your awesome videos! I especially liked when Chris taught us all how to properly spell and pronounce the French word viola.

[@farstrider79]

Glad the channel is doing well, I really appreciate the quality of the content. I've got ammo in the safe that I bought from you.

[@johntoddstewart2183]

I loved the shotgun hack job video. Found it entertaining, informative and just plain fun. Thx.

[@77cemoore]

Way to go! I always watch your videos and appreciate your style of content!

[@yung-peichang6382]

I'm very happy for you, Chris Baker. Thank you for all the great work. You guys have been an excellent and important resource.

[@LuckyGunner]

Thanks, glad we could help!

[@MrDmthomp32]

Out these options, my favorite was the home brew defense shotgun project. Love the budget builds and your approach to capturing that experience!

[@olhemi1]

As Always, Awesome Work and Congratulations!!! On the 500k. Also I love 32s 🙂👍☕

[@Rob71085]

Hey Chris my fav vid series you did was the sbs shotgun. It inspired me to build my own and I now have one similar to the one you made. Compete with tax stamp lol. Thanks for the content and inspriation Chris. Lucky gunner is awesome

[@kodiakcopilot]

Manny is the best😆 Pure gold!

[@quadrupleheart]

You consistently make the best videos so congrats, you deserve every subscriber and then some!

[@Graydog-sx6le]

I have enjoyed all of these videos. Also. Chris is a hell of a shooter. Impressive skill and knowledge.

[@AslansMane88]

I loved the faux 80s action intro video! I want to see that series!

[@CCM2361-]

Congratulations on hitting 500K! Well done.

[@PerfectTangent]

Good job, you guys deserve the success

[@CarolinaRimfire]

Thanks, Chris! I carry a .32 mag snubnose because of that video! Never would have considered it otherwise. Congratulations on 500k!

[@LuckyGunner]

Woohoo! There are dozens of us! Dozens!!

[@TheBiggityBoyd]

I stumbled across this channel a while back, and then went to the website to try and find Speer Gold Dot in .38 Special (no one else had it at the time). Lo and behold, you had it in stock!

[@laughingdog6010]

The videos are high quality. Thanks for all your work.

[@johnelder4273]

Love your videos. Keep up the great work! I would rather have half as many videos than videos that are fluff.

[@beanalog8202]

excellent! CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 one of my most favorite channels ever

[@casualobserver3145]

I liked the shotgun for home defense type vids you guys produced. I found the info very useful.

[@AlanHernandez-tk3po]

Congrats on 500k 👍🏼

[@LuckyGunner]

Thanks!

[@GBGuns]

Congrats and keep at it!

[@MrAPCProductions]

The hands down best video on this channel is "Why Ballistics Gel Works and Caliber Arguments Are Dumb" The men in charge of design and implementation of the highest rated pistol bullet designs proving these exact points might be the greatest contribution to ammo debates that have ever existed. Would love a follow up of anything that have learned since.

[@lavida57]

Congratulations Your content is important and informative. Thank you

[@joehosier6187]

Thanks for all the work you've put in Chris! Here's to as many more years as you can muster! 🍻

[@baccable]

Congratulations on the milestone.

[@brianlong163]

As someone new to the sport, I enjoy and appreciate the wide range of topics, as well as the in depth details. 👍

[@lentztu]

Love your videos and topics. Keep up the great work.

[@chrisshoopman7880]

Chris, you do a great job, some of the best on YT.

[@Sirgromulus]

Great ammo selection, great videos, and a great beard! (although I think it would look even better if you had a higher cheek line).

[@danielstuart3270]

I watch every video. Love them! LG is my go to site for ammo!

[@goingfilipino]

Will you ever do a review on the CZ Rami?

[@matthewdropco]

Congrats! Hope you show the award or plaque or whatever they send you for that. Thanks for all you do!

[@o2wow]

This is the favorite channel of my Keltec P-32 EDC, because be it a .22 short or a 10mm round, nobody wants to get shot.

[@MacGWA]

Chris, our tastes are so similar it is scary! Love the M1 carbine, love the (make an old, cheap gun, a fighting gun) and of course, Manny! Also, I am 32-20 win curious… shot a gob of 32-20 through a rifle, but really want a DA revolver in that cartridge. Best wishes.

[@77cemoore]

I recently picked up a really nice used M1 Carbine from my uncle for $400! And I freaking love it! You are correct, a blast to shoot!

[@tollytimepropulsion5252]

I am flabbergasted you don't have well over 2 million subscribers! Actually, I could start rambling like Alex Jones about conspiracies and algorithms, but let's not ruin the moment! I love every video you make and I have watched several of them more than twice! Many of your experiences and views are relatable to "everyday" gun owners and that's what makes you unique! You are very cautious with your conclusions and that is what I love about your research! Letting people know they can choose the gun and ammo they prefer is always better than giving up.

[@henryg683]

Congratulations on the 500k subscribers!!!!

[@Andrew-bb1iq]

Amazing channel, and website, and ammo testing

[@roykiefer7713]

Chris, CONGRATULATIONS and sincere appreciation to you and to Lucky Gunner . . . I miss Manny and I’d offer an honorable mention to your entirely understated and wholly unprovoative “Best revolver in the world” video.

[@BellDavidE]

When it comes to firearms-related content, yours is the channel I respect the most.

[@titanscerw]

Congratulations to reaching 500k subs!
