The Top 5 Pistols For The Money

[@mikedurand8286]

This is an excellent list. I really appreciate that a $400 CZ tops your list. The M&P 2.0 series is a great value and hard to beat for reliability. Thank you and keep up the good work

[@JohnWill-lf1hs]

Couldn't agree more with the CZ, I just have the regular p10f and I was in love before I got thru the 1st mag. Great ergonomics, fantastic trigger, just all around excellent shooting gun. Terribly underrated line of pistols..

[@yonson_racing]

So happy that the CZ P-10 is getting more recognition! I switched to them from Glock in 2016 and never looked back!

[@VibeZz96]

CZ just released the P-09 Nocturne compact and full size, I'm excited to see if they come out with a new P-10 full size and compact

[@hunter1028]

I've had so many guns and at the end ended with a walther pdp pro and a cz p10c, I still think I like my 10c more 😆

[@jerrybrooks7883]

Show me 399 on the CZ 10F comp! I’m ready to buy!

[@Jbird18]

First one was a sig p320 impulse buy didn’t know much about it. Went to the Glock 19x mos. My next two will be a p10 and walther pdp pro!

[@brians686]

I have the P 10 F, C, and the S. I like how you can use all the magazines will fit in the S. You can also take the slide off the F and put it on the C.

Canik is definitely the exception and not the rule when it comes to Turkish firearms. When I first started learning about them, I was amazed they come outta Turkey.

[@georgesakellaropoulos8162]

I went with a Tisas back in January. About 2K rounds into it, I have zero regrets.

[@answersfromscriptureonline]

Turkey makes a lot of great guns: Canik, Girsan, Sarsılmaz, Utaş, and Yıldız to name a few.

[@SomethingCompass]

I agree with your number 1 pick. For the money, the CZ P10F is an amazing gun, and fun to shoot.

[@DougLovett-f4w]

The P10S and C also shoot great. The S is smaller than the Glock 19 but shoots every bit as soft and much more accurate for myself.

[@SomethingCompass]

@@DougLovett-f4w I've heard the P10 called the Glock Gen 8, hahaha. I like the Glock 19, P10C, S, and F, but I like shooting the F the most. It is very soft and easy to shoot fast.

[@yonson_racing]

Agreed, I run the P-10 C magazine base plates on my P-10 S mags for a couple extra rounds and the perfect grip.

[@Osmonic74]

Yeah CZ P-10F is most underrated firearm in the industry and outright amazing for the price. I have one that is not optic ready and I am having a hard time letting it go to upgrade to the optic ready version. Highly recommend for home defense set up with the Optics Ready version. Currently running Smith and Wesson Metal Carry Comp with Holosun SCS and TLR-1HL but would feel extremely comfortable putting my life in the hands CZ P-10F Talo Edition with Holosun SCS. I have not purchased their Compact version but have heard and read amazing reviews on that firearm as well. Stay safe out there!

CZ P-07 with some goon tape & Shield Arms +5 extensions has been my carry for years. Whenever I do replace it, it will be for another Gen 2 P-07. Wonderful firearm. CZ is very underrated & it only frustrates me because of the lack of aftermarket support for their hammer fired line.

[@jomarcolon2929]

Canik Mete SFT Pro, definitely needs to be in that list for the price and how amazing is!

[@Balticblue93]

They did display and verbally say the SFT Pro, but the description titles at the bottom said an SFX PRO. That was an SFT Pro physically, not the SFX. The editing is the problem.

[@mississippibilly_]

Canik 💪🏿

[@RMoore-zt7zs]

I concur with the CZ- P10F and I own one. I am equally stoked about a CZ 75 BD that I've had for many years. One would have to spend lots of bucks to get a better made, more dependable, or more accurate firearm. A few professionals have shot it better than they shoot their own duty weapon.

[@warmothgmc]

Enjoyed the video. I do have an M&P M2.0 in 10mm. I’m still evaluating it…it may need a heavier recoil spring. Mine’s the 4.6” non-safety version. With more rounds, it has been doing better; but, I have had quite a few malfunctions. My go to striker fired full size so far is my H&K VP9. Absolutely zero malfunctions.

[@dennisdavid9588]

More rounds is it, the first 150 ish rounds through my M&P I got some FTE’s, since then I haven’t had a single issue.

[@mrt2124]

If you give up on it the fn 510 is amazing

[@warmothgmc]

@@mrt2124 oh, it’s too early to give up on it yet. I intend to take it out again this weekend and try a few different types of ammo through it. So far, I’ve only fed it S&B FMJ and JHP. It did start running better the last time I took it out a few weeks ago. I want to try some full power loads, and a couple other brands I have in my ammo can to try. I’m particularly interested in the Underwood 180gr JHP I just picked up. It’s a bit more stout than the wimpy loads of the standard S&B I’ve been testing. I have several others I want to test and keep records. I have some of the “Ammo Inc” 180gr TMC, some Grizzly 180gr JHP, some Nosler Bonded 200gr B-JHP, and some PMC 200gr FMJ-TC.

[@F.L.4.]

PSA Dagger. But, Classic will NEVER mention PSA because they don’t sell them. While they do make nice attempts to enlighten the 2A community, I realized a while ago that this channel is geared more towards driving sales for their company. I’m no PSA FanBoy, but the fact that PSA is one of the most popular manufacturers in the country and Classic hasn’t mentioned them once in their videos speaks volumes. It’s somewhat understandable, considering. And I’ll continue to do business with them (PSA as well) and keep watching the videos (even though Clint is gone). Just keep their $ first mentality in mind when coming here for insight.

[@logant5552]

I bought a gun off their recommendation a couple years ago and I’m not thrilled w my purchase. But the content is entertaining so I still watch, just take them with a grain of salt

[@Iamshields632]

Only issue I'd see with having the Dagger on the list is they have issues. They're cheap yes, but also made cheaply. Pretty much every gun mentioned here will easily go triple the round count or more and never need parts replacements. I've seen folks with Daggers replacing entire triggers, barrels, springs etc with 2500 rounds or less. That's the sole reason I have not seriously looked into getting a Dagger for myself, or going with their Dagger AR combo you can get for 799.

[@davidramirez6570]

Too unreliable

[@Resinatural640]

Anyone mentioning reliability actually owned one? I’ve got multiple, and have had no issues out of any of them.

[@RidingandFlying]

Tisas PX-9 costs about the same, and is a far superior gun. Better trigger, changeable grips, reliable.

[@patmaloney1140]

P10 & M&P very underated

[@taracarrow9977]

The S&W now has the carry comp also

[@Thenatureboy801]

I never thought I'd say this, but after owning one, I'm firmly convinced the Taurus G2C is one of the best CC pistols for $200 I've ever had. Going on 5 years of ownership, never a jam, never a malfunction. Ive also had times where I've slacked on cleaning and maintenance and she still shoots like a dream.

[@Sigenthusiast]

You definitely have less than 200 rounds on it. Your opinion is not valid.

[@Shwarzencofmenmozer]

I do love the Arex Delta X! It’s a great defensive firearm. Can’t really argue with your list. Never held some of them but seen enough reviews to know they are all good.

[@e55addict1]

My 5 :) 1. Tanfoglio Stock 2 or Limited Master (best value for caliber choice and performance) 2. Stealth Arms Platypus (best value for totally custom 2011) 3. IWI Jericho 941 Steel Frame (best value HD duty pistol) 4. Tisas PX-9 Gen3 (best value pistol) 5. Ruger LCP Max (best value pocket pistol)

[@becausealiens2996]

I personally love CZs. Their pistols are not only astectacally pleasing buy durable, reliable & accurate too.ttheir striker fired and hammer fired pistols are some of the very best on the market period. Their guns also have a very high fun factor to consider. I can Cleary see why it's #1

Waiting on a M&P9 2.0 compact le model with the new flat trigger and night sites and just picked up the Socom, Tisas px9 and a Beretta APX a1 Tactical compact. Haven't shot any of them yet but the one that really impressed me was the PX9. Man the trigger on the px9 surprised me and is smooth as butter. Both the Socom and the Px9 consistently pull at 3.5 pounds. The Socom has a better reset but that PX9 is just so smooth with no damn striker fire twang when pulling the trigger.

Last year I was searching for the best bang for the buck handgun and decided to get the Canik METE SFX. I have to say so far it's been flawless. I like to throw all different types of ammo at a gun to see if it can run anything, and so far it has run ant ammo i put in it. The CZ P-10 F was my second choice, and I still really want one, but the Canik has made me me happy.

I say the Springfield Echelon deserves to be in the list I know it’s a newer gun but man for the price point & reliability an ergonomics the gun is fantastic and super durable.

[@NobodyAwsum]

Haven't seen the list yet, but one to throw into the mix, arex delta gen 2 tac. They regularly go for 350, they come in 3 sizes, and they're a great 43x/p365 competitor. Trigger is smooth after about 1k rounds or after a 25c polish job, they come with a 15 and a 17 round mag and they're full ambi. I love my Glocks. But if I wanted to buy something to compete with my micro dagger/43x build id definitely go for the delta.

Not when you can get a czp10s for the same price. Got my cz p10s for 289. You can get a taurus gx4 for 240 which while it had drop safety issues when it first released like the dagger had a bunch of issues when it first released and continuously had reliability issues for a long time and the gx4 never did.
