The Top 5 Underrated Guns [2021 Edition]

[@SamsonMFGPRO]

Hey guys! We HUGELY appreciate the mention of the Samson A-TM Folding Stock for the Ruger Mini-14 at 16:58 ! And we would love the TFB TV audience know that we'll be releasing the these fantastic folders in Black Oxide finish early in Q1 2022. That also goes for the B-TM folder, made expressly for the immensely popular Ruger 10/22, which is available right now. Thanks, brothers!

[@Mandalore6311]

I love my Mini 14s and my A-TM! A guest came on my range yesterday with his new Mini and I made sure to tell him about it.

[@jupiterjunk]

The A-TM is a fantastic stock, and makes the Mini-14 look like it should. However, it's name... Maybe it's just me, and maybe my mind is in the gutter, and maybe I've spent too much time on sites that I shouldn't, but A-TM makes me giggle every time someone says it. .

I bought a P 32 shortly after it came out and, after 20 years, it's still shooting reliably. For me, it is not a gun I shoot 100 rounds per session for fun.

I've been wanting one of those for that reason alone. It's way smaller than my Glock 42 & that currently fills the backup/ gym shorts roll for me.

Have you tried Midway to see if they have any mags? I haven't bought anything from them in the past few years though. Around 2017, I ordered 2 -16rnd Mecgar mags to go with the 2 that came with my CZ-75BD. Just about everywhere I checked, the price for these mags were between $39.00 - &49.00 each. I believe Midway's price was about $20.00 - $25.00, same brand Mecgar. At the same time, I ordered 4- 8rnd Promags for my S&W 39A. These model 39A were issued a lot during Vietnam and had steel slides and aluminum frames. The only place I could find them was on Ebay and everybody thought they must've been made from gold judging by the asking prices.. I wasn't about to pay $45.00- $65.00 for a 8 round mag. Midway had several Promag versions for about $10 - $15 each. They had magas for just about every firearm you could think of and their prices beat most other places by a long shot. I just wanted to throw it out there so maybe it will help. Cheers

If they were still in current production, SKS would be up there. Grew up seeing all the surplus ones, but never had much interest until they skyrocketed in price during the surplus craze. Went in my local shop for ammo and they had a really nice Chinese Type 56 for 500. It was all matching, stock had some noticeable wear but the rest of the gun was very clean. It looked very Russian despite being a Type 56, and turns out with some more digging that's because it's a 1956 production rifle, back when the Soviets were helping produce the first batches in the Jianshe Arsenal, so it lacks all the later markings and just has a numerical serial number, darker wood and a blade style bayonet. Shot it for the first time yesterday, and damn it is really nice. Trigger beats out all my other military style triggers minus the SIG 550 trigger. Its stock lends to a far superior, more consistent sight picture than the AK (seriously, I fucking hate the standard pattern AK stocks) and loading the thing with stripper clips was like butter. Accuracy was ever so slightly better than my AK, but nothing spectacular, like 2.5-3 MOA at 100 yards, but still pretty good for as cheap and old as it was. Compared to my Steyr 1912 and other stripper clip fed guns I've loaded, SKS is the only one I could see reloading as fast as a magazine. Did not think my 500 dollar Chinese garbage rod would turn out to be one of my favorites. I also just don't see SKS fanboys out there like you see it's contemporaries. Definitely the most underrated gun I've ever bought.

[@leonswan6733]

@@johnelder4273 I feel it is hard to rapid fire a SKS like a semi-auto AK cuz the action bolt carrier moves too slow. I can pull the trigger faster than the bolt can keep up and i would pull the trigger and it would not fire because the semi-auto sear did not re-set. i would have to let the trigger forward to re-set then pull and it would fire. It was never meant to be full Auto. Mines never double fired on me but a co-worker did say his would double or triple fire sometimes. I feel the Semi-auto sear contact to the hammer would be wearing out when that happens and there is a delayed hammer letting loose. Good guns for $100 to $200 dollars.

If you have to shoot a a sonofabitch I guarantee the last words out of his mouth won't be asking what make of gun you shot him with". Anyway, High Point guns are the SKS of pistols.. Tough, durable, etc... I've shot with guys who of course laughed but when their high-dollar pistols were jamming the High Point was firing away. If I were in a gunfight I'd I'd pick the High Point over my Taurus, S&W & Ruger. When empty I can always throw the heavy sonofabitch at'em. Even thinking about buying a new one.

I can say that it is really accurate and will eat up any kind of ammo, plus having a 20 round mag option ain't that bad either. I love the way it looks and feels and suggest to play around with one the next time you see one in a gun store.

Parents had a PX4 Storm Subcompact. They got rid of it due a critical failure. Last round loaded 3/4 of the way into the barrel and jammed on the magazine follower. The slide was jammed in position. We could not eject the mag due to the follower. The follower had apparently gotten above the slide lock bar that is suppose to sit above the magazine follower. Somehow got under the follower. We had to take a hammer and punch to the slide to knock it back off the follower then take a screw driver to tilt the follower off the slide stop to then remove the magazine. Trip home from the range had the round stuck 1/4 out of the chamber. Never had that happen before on any other firearm, but that was the second trip to the range for that gun. It was a 40 S&W.

What I have come to realize in marketing and manufacturing from a customer perspective as we are all very familiar with; the often cheaper products that are alright seem to last the longest and people start liking them a whole lot for the longevity. I.E. Honda civics, Toyota sh*t trucks, etc…

I need to get the PX4, I’ve seen some guys running them in IDPA and they performed well.

[@cbwelch4]

10k rounds without a malfunction is better than than the 92. That’s awesome. I love my Mini tactical. It has a lot to offer. Damned solid build. Reliable as hell with that legendary Garand rotating bolt. Throws the brass 30 feet. It is the best ban state 5.56. I’m so grateful they kept it innocuous looking.

[@darthvillarious]

James, when is Dave from Hi-Point going to release their new updated pistol? I don't see it on their site.

[@garrettjaneski6209]

The APX pistol is definitely one of Beretta's best handguns that everyone sleeps on. They can be bought for super cheap and they are modular chassis handguns like the Sig P320. But at less than half the cost.

[@realQuestion]

I do recommend the Langdon version he addresses in the video, though...they obviously aren't cheap-cheap, but they are competitive with even much more expensive editions of other handguns. [I never knew people thought the PX4 was ugly.]

I love my Glocks and P80s, but even with the improvements (IMO) P80 has made I don't think I could call them perfect. My SO has a SW Shield EZ and I think it's the perfect balance between Glock and SIG, but it's got its own problems. I don't care for overly oval grips, personally.

I don't like Glocks, and it's not just Glocks. I don't like plastic striker fired pistols. It has nothing to do with being afraid to carry a striker fire pistol. I think their great guns for those who identify as nonbinary. :) Who doesn't like the Mini-14? That's the gun used by Hannibal Smith. If you remember in 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground

They are hard to find, so are the mags. But I love my 580 serial Mini 14 Tactical. Glad I was able to get one for $600 a few years back because now you can't find them for under $1k in WA State.

[@jefferytillis8309]

The current Mini 14s biggest problem is that Ruger waited until it had become more expensive than an AR-15 before they fixed it's accuracy issues. At one time you could buy one substantially cheaper than an AR-15. That is no longer true making the fix go unnoticed for the most part.

[@NonyaDamnbusiness]

My AR-15 is my home defense rifle but my Mini-14 stainless is always secured in a steel security drawer in my SUV as my "get home rifle" in the event of things going south along with a Gen5 Glock w/TRO iron sights and level 3 retention holster.

You said some pretty nice things for the PX4 Storm CC (Langdon), and you gave a "shout-out" to those haters that see the design as less than "pretty." "Just like your sister... the PX Storm is heinously ugly..." The ultimate design cues that Beretta embraced in the PX series are true innovation and ergonomics for the modern DASA hammer fired pistol. What design cues would those who hold the Glock as modern design? The Glock has as much style as a ball peen hammer... Or how about the striking styling of the 1911? ...designed by men still convince the world was flat... In addition to your favorable review of the Langdon CC; pulling the slide is like sliding through butter on melba toast with the scent of marmalade permeating the air. The weight, the feel, proportional, a comfortable extension of hand. Model T, Industrial Revolution: I'm ready for the very best in innovation and design--your sister (the one with the cerakote sniper gray) is hot... a modern beauty.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the Mini-14 make the only rifle spot on the list, as an owner of the “police” tactical model which comes with an Amega aluminum and railed hand guard. I added a reflex sight, and the gun gets the biggest smiles out of everyone I go to the range with. Performs great, super reliable, and so much fun to shoot. So glad Ruger and SA are keeping the Garand action alive.
