P365 is awesome, easy to carry everyday. I forget that I'm wearing it it's so comfortable and I've put around 1000 rounds through it with various ammo and 0 failures.

[@BubbaBlackmon]

Shield 2.0 9mm with green Crimson Trace laser. Extremely accurate out to 15 yards. Less than 1 inch thick . Weighs only 20 ounces. Easy to carry all day , every day.

[@Fafafohi]

9mm is such a great round. It’s lighter, faster, and usually cheaper. It’s easy to train with, easy to shoot, and you can carry more of it. Really, 9mm is the best round out there. That is why I carry a .45 M&P Shield.

[@ZSmith-yy4lv]

9mm kills the body, but .45 kills the *sOuL*

[@jeffhudson2346]

My normal carry is a G19 and my smaller carry is a G26 that everyone seems to forget these days. Great choices overall and good discussion hegshot.

[@bobs3354]

Pocket vs. holster carry is the dividing line for me. For pocket carry I use the Ruger LCP (first gen). This little gun has never had a single malfunction of any kind. If I grip it very tightly and focus on the front sight well it’s reasonably accurate at 5 yards. For holster carry (IWB does not work for me) it’s either the S&W model 37 or 19. I like a thumb-break leather holster.

[@stuarthazard3162]

Great video, and do you know why? Because you spent your time on the topic, not on YOU!! There are a LOT of gun video guys who need to learn this.

[@michaelgoldman1433]

Walther PPS outshoots all the others I've owned them all and the Walther is scary accurate and reliable

[@YaMuthaSmellz]

Agreed. The Walther feels great, shoots great and is very accurate. I don't like the trigger on the 365 or Glock and the Shield is kinda blah.

[@wadevenerdi1060]

The Walther PPS m2 is absolutely awesome! I personally shoot the 42 better, and it is smaller and lighter, so that is what I carry. But if you just got to have a 9mm the Walther has no equal. Plus you can get those brand new for $299.

Belly Band Holster I can carry everything but my choices are the Ruger LC9S Pro, Glock 26, & a Ruger SP101 .357 magnum. Love carrying the Revolver!

[@scbane]

@Evan Moyer I quit using a belly band. Way too hot in the summer, and if you have any belly hair like me, it causes a lot of itching and ingrown hairs. I use an Alien Gear IWB holster, strong side for my compact and subcompact guns now.

LC 9S pro with night sites,Kimber K6S, and life card. I would love to own an ideal conceal.380,if they ever come out on the market. Love your choices......Glock 29,or 27 with a couple of 15 round mags where it’s legal ducken Democrats

[@michaelh2716]

I own this gun and it’s GREAT! Consistently shoots straight and does not jam!!!

[@micheleheynes4298]

I love: 1. Single, double action firearms with a hammer, as it gives me the sense of security that I have control over my hammer too. 2. Double stack magazines, with 15+ rounds in a magazine, even if my first handgun was a single stack 8 round magazine. I also didn't feel underpowered with the 7.65 round. 3. Up until I shot my first polymer framed pistol, I would automatically go for an all steel handgun. 4. I love shooting the Beretta mod 92 FS, but for my hand size, the grip is too big for me not to adjust my hand when utilizing the HOD. 5. The polymer Beretta PX4 Storm 9mm with 17 round magazines, fits my hands perfectly, and recoil is comfortable. 6. Problem for me with the polymer frames are: 6.1. Pistols are too light for me. 6.2. I dislike striker fire, not for the functions it provides, but that I can't grasp and control the hammer with my thumbs, obviously dependent on which hand I'm using to shoot. 6.3. Doesn't feel all that durable to me. Yes I know they are durable, but it's the sensation while holding the handgun I get. 6.4. It's not what I was taught on, and at that time all steel pistols and revolvers were the bomb, and Glock was the only polymer with any form of claim to fame. 6.5. Polymer usually signifies that a pistol is striker fired to me, and I want my external hammer with the single, double action capabilities. First shot is heavier and you know the fight is on. 7. Reasons I might go for a polymer pistol: 7.1. It's light enough to carry with almost any kind of pants. 7.2. If it's a single, double action pistol, familiarity of all pistols I've shot are there. 7.3. The grips are usually exchangeable with extra grips already there for my hand size that can't modulate the bigger grips without readjusting my hand. 7.4. In pistols, I love Beretta, and it's literally no fuss cleaning, disassembling, reassembling for me. Okay, all firearms you just need to learn that method, train with that specific make, and all is easy. 7.5. Specifically speaking of the PX4 Storm in comparison to the Mod 92FS (the reasons I kept with the PX4 Storm were): 7.5.1. Grip 7.5.2. The trigger safety, which protects the hammer from engaging the firing pin. 7.5.3. Extra rounds from a standard set-up. 7.5.4. Weight 7.5.5. Rotating barrel is a cool energy distribution factor for recoil purposes. 7.5.6. The ambidextrous magazine release, as I normally carry left handed, but with maintenance shooting, I am normally instructed to shoot right handed, of which I'm luckily ambidextrous too. 8. Sights, well they are just perfect for me. 9. I'm confident that the recoil for my 155Lbs structure is easy to control with both my primary choices when drawing one handed, as my shooting practices involves me blocking a perpetrator with my free hand while shooting with my designated firearm hand. So up to 9mm in pistols and 38Sp in revolvers works best for me. 10. My choices may not make your grade, but they are my choices. Just like your choices are yours, and I'm certain if a shooter comes to you and ask for a specific brand of firearm with viable choices, you would do your research to accommodate the specifics they need or require.

[@johnvillamil3138]

Maybe make a video yourself and help us with your knowledge. Thnx

[@micheleheynes4298]

@@johnvillamil3138 I rather train and ensure I have more competent people on carrying than thinking a video would make a person better at shooting. I do not like videos of myself. When it comes to South African laws on firearms we are limited with the amount of firearms we may own, and would someone want to see me fumble over my own tongue. If ever I'm in the USA and at a shooting range testing weapons, I would probably do it. But my voice will annoy me, and inadvertantly have me not post the video. I'd rather sing than speak on a video.

[@Roy_Camacho]

God bless you Hegshot. Very professional and honest reviews you do. Thank you for taking the time to put these together brother.

[@steveyboy7]

I agree with the holster comment. A comfortable low profile holster is essential for conceal carry. I have a very similar holster as you. The company is called “CYA” and it is made by a former member of the military. This holster is extremely comfortable, I forget that I’m carrying after about 20 minutes of wearing it, and best of all I love that by buying this product I’m supporting a former member of the US military. On a side note, I am a former police officer (Retired after 25 years of service) and we were always taught to let the slide snap with a lot of force when racking it so you keep the spring tension taught. Try not to gingerly pull back on the slide.

[@rm5282]

I have the CYA holster for my PPS M2 and I totally agree with you. I hardly can tell it's there. Very comfortable and stable.

I just wonder how many of you gun enthusiast have actually been in a situation where you have to defend your life with your gun? I'm a newbie, just two months since I started carrying and already went to a stressful situation in a little park in front of my home while walking my dog at night. I've been watching a lot of videos like this one where people own lots of guns and are really into the lifestyle and get really curious about stories of people that actually have been forced to use their guns. Stay safe my friends.

Where is the Springfield xds? As long as you slide the slide an extra time before loading magazine after cleaning no chance of misfire and very very accurate gun, I can literally almost sharpshoot with it

[@risteardwest3384]

Go for the Glock 36 the new one has a rail light on it or so it handles anything out of the box any kind of 45 ACP ammo you use in it lightweight fully loaded it's about 26 oz easy to used Just great for concealed carry I recommend a d Santos holster for it it fits great any of the Glock 45 ACP will fit that host the Glock 30 Glock 36 Glock 29 and so forth it's one thing about Glocks they keep them all about the same size the Glock 19 is just the tiny bit larger than a Glock 36 but weighs more

[@NathanaelFaunce]

I recommend the 365 and shield, personally. Though I like the 19/23/32 sized glocks, the trigger on the 42/43 models was uncomfortable. I found it actually pinched my finger skin making follow-ups feel unnatural.

[@slundgr]

I got an EZ and 365 to use inside of the Glock 43x for the reason you mentioned about the trigger. I never got used to the 43x trigger

Great gun. I own one. But I agree with Ben. Unless it's winter time or fall and I'm rocking a jacket that day. The Cz p07 sadly is a range and safe queen mostly. My top 3 are Glock 43 (once modified 😒) Ruger Lcp 2 (easy gun to shoot despite small size, trigger is 100% better than the S&w bodyguard or lcp 1) and the springfield Xds for #3. (Gun is just a natural pointer for me, feels like a 1911 in hand, heavy, confidence inspiring, if you run out of ammo you can beat your enemy down with it)

I have an Amish harness maker make my belts. They are fitted correct, don't stretch out and carry my firearm securely. I tuck my T shirt and use a non stretch strap (grey to match my T shirt) from the right holster position (I carry outside the belt) over my right shoulder, down my back and under my left arm to the left pocket area, (where I carry my extra magazines). I carry one of 4 pistols. M&P M2.0, M&P9c, M&P Shield 380 EZ and the M&P Bodyguard. After years of research and feedback from students, I found the S&W M&P line to be the most comfortable and reliable handgun.

I own a Sig 365, and have put about 500 rounds through it so far. It has been 100% reliable with many different types of ammo. It's comfortable to shoot, has great sights, it's very accurate, and holds 10+1 rounds. I cary it with the flush mag in a IWB holster, and it just disappears. the other 4 guns in this video are all good choices, but I wouldn't trade the 365 for any of them.

[@pteronarcyscalifornica694]

Want to carry comfortably? Get a sturdy gunbelt and use an OWB holster. I carry a CZ 83 chambered in 9 Browning (13+1 capacity) and a spare mag this way and this time of year the holstered gun and spare mag conceal well under a t-shirt.

[@maces1405]

I went with a Glock 26 and now I carry a Glock 19 and I'm not even a big guy! Even during summer I can carry my Glock 19. My secret is the incredible comfortable hybrid holster from white hat. All I do is to have a positive "cant" and the G19 dissappears. I tried the single stack thing and didn't find it better. That's why my Glock 43 went bye bye.

[@sacfox001]

Thanks for the information. One thing you missed is the take down for cleaning and the ease in racking.

Definitely a great list. My two EDC’s didn’t make your list. The G19 and G26. I carry the Gen4 G26 about 80% of the time in a T-Rex Arms side car holster with an extra 15 round mag.

[@mariejustice8997]

Reliability, 6rd capacity, ease of use, concealable & comfortable, low recoil, Ruger LCRx revolver in .22magnum. For even less recoil, Ruger LCRx 8rd, .22lr revolver. Both are excellent for women & seniors with recoil issues. Uncomplicated. If it fails to fire a round, just pull the trigger again...no slide to clear, no magazine to check. The .22lr is also very economical to put in range time to developed shot placement skills. The LCRx platform also has room to grow with a .38spl model, when recoil is overcome or not a problem. The sights are awesome! Also, there are red or green grip lasers for the LCRx models.

[@jimhovater8755]

Walther PPS M2 for me until Fall, then it's an SA Range Officer Compact in 9mm for me.

[@bdm1000]

I think you also have to consider how much people are going to shoot. A lot of concealed carry people don't shoot their guns a lot, and in those circumstances, I would NOT recommend most of those guns because they're not as easy to shoot. For people who are going to shoot more, they may be a good choice. Remember, 70-80 percent of accuracy goes out the window in a gunfight, so just because a person can reasonably handle these guns small guns well at a range does not necessarily translate to handling them well in a gunfight. Loaded correctly, I think the G42 is a good option.

[@jamesganther7425]

Just bought the Ruger LCP II for all the reasons you mentioned. Though “just” a .380, it is the most comfortable to carry. And if I won’t carry, what’s the point? Plus I just love Ruger!

[@jamesmorrison7847]

Although I loved my Springfield XDS 9mm, when I saw the smaller Sig P365 had 10 plus 1 capacity, factory night sights, and a sweet trigger I had to buy one. My Springfield has retired once I got used to the Sig. I passed the Springfield XDS to my brother and he loves it.

[@GUNNYJones-zm5eo]

Great informative video as usual hegshot. I truly standing agreement with your assessment of these concealed carry firearms. I carry a firearm concealed both professionally and in my personal life. When I first started on the job one of the guns that was on the approved list for us. As our approval list has both single stack and double stack platform options. Luckily my personal handgun at the time was on the approved list which was the first generation M&P Shield. As time went on I upgraded to a Glock model 26 and just recently I fired a 9 mm 2.0 Shield of one of my colleagues. The Improvement Smith & Wesson made toThe Shield platform seriously impressed me enough that afternoon I went and purchased and brand new M&P Shield 2.0 in 9 mm. Although I do like Glocks but being a lifelong Smith & Wesson fan, it is certainly nice to be carrying a Smith on my hip again. Somehow the the Stars seem to be in better alignment for me now... lol

[@FirstLast-vl1uy]

I have direct experience with 3 of these. I owned a Walther PPS M2. It had every conceivable problem that a pistol could have right out of the box. Every possible thing that could go wrong with it went wrong with it aside from the gun blowing up in my hand. I decided to trade it in instead of sending it to Walther. My friend has a SigP365. Honestly it also has quite a few issues. Stove pipes seem to me pretty constant with both of us shooting. I also own a Ruger LCP 2 in 22 and out of the 3 this is the best one. Its solid. Very few issues. And conceals way better than any other on the list. My main carry now is a Taurus g3c which is great so far, and. ruger sp-101 which is the best gun ive ever owned. I prefer to cc that but it is def heavy. I go between that and the Taurus and LCP depending on where Im going. Overall I dont have good luck with these compact carry guns. Its like a shot in the dark if they are gonna work efficiently or not. I prefer a revolver or a full sized pistol. They just work so much better..

[@tymercier2313]

I've run about 500 rounds through my P365 without a malfunction. What kind of ammo were you using (steel case, reman or brass/non-reman)? Two things: I only fire brass ammo and I never use reman ammo in match barrels (that invites a host of malfunctions). Generally, I use PMC bronze for practice and Magtech JHP for carry/home defense. I'm gonna assume you and your friend's experience with guns is good enough that neither of you are limp wristing your firing stance or riding the slide with your thumb, so the ammo is the most likely culprit. It's possible that the recoil spring has been worn out, but if it's a newer gun, that seems unlikely.

[@ABell676]

Great video and you are well spoken young man but I was surprised that you didn’t have the Taurus Gc2 and it comes with 2 12 rounds magazine I know Taurus is not a fan boy brand but man they’ve come along way and I just purchased the Gc3 9mm a week ago and I absolutely love it , already put aprox 400 rounds thru it and a amazing bargain MSF is 304 $ I got it thru a local store here in the Tampa Bay Area for 259$ and its comfortable for conceal carry , not downing the other pistols you mentioned there all great but for the magazine capacity and the price you can’t go wrong with the Gc3 , another great carry option is the px 4 storm compact but it’s a lil pricey

[@fenner1986]

[@MrHav1k]

I figured the Ruger LC9/EC9 would be mentioned. Slightly smaller and thinner than the Shield, but with the same capacity at a lower price. People seem to like it. That's what I'm leaning towards. I want to love the P365, but it's just not ready yet.

[@tymercier2313]

The LC9/EC9 shoots pretty well, but the P365's low bore access makes it much easier to keep on target. P365 has been my EDC choice for 2 years with no issues. The Ruger will get the job done, but the P365 is my personal choice and I've had no reason to doubt it will perform if God forbid I ever need to use it in self-defense.

and no revolvers? ruger lcr anyone? maybe even throw some crimson trace green laser grips on it. if you want ultra concealed and ultra reliability w/ a great trigger it's something to look at.

[@melbourne-heat.69-71]

Living in a crazy world right now I'll stay with the Walther PPQ or the Walther PPX Double Stack or the Glock 10 mm with the 200 grain.. Hi-Tek coated... I like the paddle holsters or a nice tactical holster....🗣👈💪

[@wizardofahhhs759]

The PPQ in .45acp is my every day every where carry gun.

[@jonwilliams40]

Great video, thanks for sharing. We have very strict gun laws here in the UK and it’s near impossible to get hold of a handgun unless you know the black market. I have a vast collection of replica air and blank firing pistols and would love a real one purely for the pleasure of owning one. It’d be the Sig P365 for me if you could sneak me one over the pond. Cheers, Jon.

[@itscork]

Factor 1: Reliability is by far the most important issue. Your life may depend on it. Factor 2: Comfort. Ease of carry. Much of this depends on the holster, but if it’s not reasonably comfortable you won’t carry it. My personal favorite: Ol’ Faithful IWB holster canted forward. Springfield XDS .45 cal. 5+1

[@moregainsmoreveins5267]

itscork add the xtension 6+1 or 7+1

[@StayBusy88]

I have the shield with the side clip and its so comfortable I forget I'm wearing it and i carry appendix

[@rickthompson1422]

...love the Shields...super pistols....where do you find side clips Craig? Never seen them...thanks...

[@bxcongero1]

M&P 4" M2.0, M&P Shield M2.0, Sig Sauer P320 Carry, Sig Sauer P938 or P365, Ruger LCP 2, these are my rotation and whenever Canik drops their TP9 Sub Elite Compact it will go into rotation as well.

[@slkric1724]

Taurus G2C and Kahr CW9 are great EDC options.

[@darrellblake799]

Anything by Kahr.

[@buellfuel2001]

OK, I own a Gen 4 17 and 26, and a GEN 5 19. I find the Glocks extremely heavy and bulky for concealed carry. I can't understand why a 10 round Glock is so large compared to other 10 round pistols. I carried the 26 for a while but for the bulk I find it more reasonable to just go ahead and carry the 19 now. I also have an LC9 that carries much nicer than any Glock, and I still have and used to carry a Kel-tec P-11 and a SCCY that are much better than a G 26, I know everyone screams "but the trigger is so bad" but the trigger is supposed to emulate the trigger of a revolver, a very deliberate trigger pull so you will not be accidently shooting yourself in the butt when you reholster. Get a great holster and your carry will be more comfortable.

[@skywalker39100]

I brought a Walther PPS M2 LE edition. I need to hit the Range with it!

[@DannyBFishing]

Leroy Worsley that's what I have and thinking about the P365

[@randallreece3636]

Great gun. I bought an extra 7 round mag and carry in a CYA Supply Company IWB holster.

[@mikeh4524]

It’s an impressive gun, Leroy! Good luck with it.

[@justmike5402]

Can't beat a Walther

[@richardmcree6992]

Great single stack pistol!!

[@dennisnickoloff1723]

SIG SP2340, .40cal. 50k+ rounds, only three failures (two bad primers and one round where bullet traveled

[@RadCatFood]

Had a Shield but I sold it for a superior firearm the Walther PPS literally better in every way and I got it for $300 shipped

[@j-dog9800]

Ruger is most comfortable for me. Was carrying the S&W M&P but really uncomfortable for me. Gave it to my wife since she uses a purse. Got myself a Ruger EC9s can't believe the comfort difference. Been very reliable easy to clean and fun to shoot.

[@douggoldengolden72]

I like the sights best on the Walther pps2 easy for me to line up quickly

[@Bill-hy1vp]

They are outstanding sights!

[@billbeard391]

Ruger LC9s 9mm single stack 7+1 with slightly longer barrel than LCP2 plus LaserMax form fitting underneath. Perfect CC pistol. Even my wife can never tell I have it with me without asking. Has an easy to use thumb safety. The Pro comes without. Cor-Bon +p JHP you're good to go.

[@Tool-Meister]

Have same gun with laser. Pretty nice,but I shoot better with my any of my Springfields. My wife traded her LC9s for a Springfield XD mod 2 and her grouping really improved. Seems the adage is true, guns are like shoes, one size or style does NOT fit everyone!

[@billbeard391]

@@Tool-Meister LOL! I'm more accurate with my Uberti made 1858 Remington replica with 8" barrel. Just kinda hard to conceal unless I buy an overcoat or somethin', though my state is open carry. LOL!

[@Anthony-sd9yz]

Thank you for explaining the options. Outstanding and Semper Fi

[@scottwitt7597]

Nailed it with manufacturers following suit from Sig. Shield plus is amazing now.

[@jameswheeler8928]

G2C never failed goes bang every time!!

[@endlesslord1985]

That's my carry gun also I put over 1000 rds no fails yet.

[@rondouglas5147]

You missed my two favorite, but ten it looks like you prefer striker fire. When clothing allows, Kimber Ultra CDP II and the Sig P938.

[@jeremypitts6144]

you don't need a single stack for every day carry. you need double stack. The best all time carry gun is the Taurus Gen 4 G2C 9mm double stack. Has a external safety comes with 2 12 round clips/mags, a lifetime warranty, many great add ons fit it. light and easy for anyone to conceal. It's the best value of any just over $200 brand new. They have 17 round extended clip/mags for it.

[@bigc7710]

Tarus pt111 g2 aka G2c is a great option as well. Over 2000 rounds no problems 12+1 capacity size close to the 365 alot of great reviews on them as well.

[@johnbellinger2494]

Big C been carrying a G2 for two and a half years not a single malfunction at the range for the price you just can't beat it.

[@lazvt8469]

Got two in last two weeks...600 rounds, 6 ammo brands....100%. Love everything about it...even the trigger...and especially the 12 round capacity. New carry gun. Oh, of course ...under $200.

[@loganliam1319]

Big C only thing i like about the g2c is that its only $200-300

[@boogerdog5247]

I bought two TAURUS PT 111, G2's, a 9mm and a 40 Smith. Daughter ran 50 thru the .40, ran 50 thru the 9mm, snatched the 9mm. At 10, she could outshoot me with a pistol. Before I bought, I hit the reviews, Jerry Miculek, convinced me. I'm convinced this pistol will not fail when called upon.

[@drumdoug8083]

I have a PT111 and a P365. A lot of folks say they are the same but size wise, there is no comparison. The PT111 is a great carry gun and I like it a lot. The P365, which has been flawless for me so far, is the most comfortable gun that I have ever carried. That assessment includes the 1st generation Shield and a P938.

[@70DMac]

Fast forward two years now the Sig P365 is flawless and the best selling, most popular micro 9mm on the market. I just purchased it and put 300 roubds through it with zero issues. I also have the Shield in 9mm and .45 and it's also great.

[@victorjkellysr6600]

Nice video. Thanks. You included two that I carry -- PPS &LCP (2's). My normal everyday is a G19 OWB fully concealed with an open overshirt. Also sometimes and M&P 9c.

[@jonathanbrady5467]

HK usp .45 fs in a veddar light tuck. 12+1 and it will never let you down.

[@slirickrickk2250]

Great list! Love the P-365. Great video, keep them coming.

[@kevinmcmichael3880]

I carry a p320 x compact 9mm and I love it. 15+1 with 3 xray sights short trigger reset and no manual safety.

[@lordhades9455]

I carry a VP9sk in a Stealthgear ventcore appendix holster. Love both of them. The only one on this list I would consider is the Walther PPS.

[@jackakhan]

The sig p365 is also a great option. I have the PPS and love it!

[@luisrodriguez3411]

What you think on the VP9SK for carry?

[@Bobby74892]

I have a Ruger LCP II. I agree that it is not a gun to take to the range for a morning of plinking. I call it my "Little Meanie". But, conceal-ability is unbeatable. I purchased the Hogue HandAll Sleeve grips and the Ruger extended magazine. They made a world of difference in controlling the recoil. It is my "go to" pocket pistol when conceal-ability is a top priority.

[@ejzabojnik834]

The Sig P365 is my favorite carry gun. It is very small for the rounds that it holds. Good trigger on it also. Since you included 380 cal. guns in your video you should have included the Sig 238.

[@charlesmarshall2697]

Everyday carry is mostly an APEXed trigger Shield with 10+1 mag stoked with Federal HSTs in right back pocket of cargo pants. With a vest on and shoulder rig it's a Taurus G3 with 15+1 mag and same Federal HSTs. As a back up always is a Ruger LCP2 in 22 rimfire stoked with 10+1 Aguila Supermaxes in a Bugbite leg holster. I'm old and can't see, so all have green daylight lasers and I just put the dot on what needs to be killed and pull the trigger till the gun is empty!
