Top 7 EDC Pistols I Trust My Life To

[@erikchristopherson9700]

Typically g19mos. If I want something slimmer then I carry a g43x mos. And if I’m wanting smaller M&P shield.

I feel really good that I was able to make my purchase decisions based on trying them out at the range, and studying as many reviews as I could. I hadn't seen your reviews on them, for some reason.

They are occasional carries My daily carry is a 365 XL with an Icarus grip, an M carbo trigger job and an EPS carry optic on the top. I really can’t say enough about the Icarus grip. It’s the best upgrade I’ve done to my 365. It totally changes the feel and the recoil management of the gun.

[@kevinparks3041]

Great video!!! Something not discussed on the Walther PDP-F is that it was designed primarily for female shooters with reduced grip strength and smaller hands. The slide requires 20% less strength to rack than the normal PDP. The only other gun on the market that offers a reduced spring is the Smith & Wesson EZ line, but it comes with that annoying and awkward grip safety. But still a super smooth slide for those with strength issues.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

That is discussed in the walther F dedicated review.

[@clawbanger]

Also the Fn Reflex is a lighter racking slide.

[@deanestanton2480]

After owning a Canik MC9 and having non stop malfunctions with many different types of ammo (mostly an out of battery issue) I would never recommend using this firearm for self defense. I did contact customer service and they sent me a new guide rod/spring that helped tremendously but I had lost all confidence in this firearm and traded it towards something else. I picked up a Hellcat and it has worked flawlessly right out of the box. I enjoy your videos and thank you for the advice you give as I’ve been able to learn from you. I’m happy that you found a reliable MC9.

There is a reason you lead off with the 43X most. Glock is renown for reliability and durability . I chose the 43X for those reasons. I added a Shield mag and mag catch and a Holoson 407 Green dot but other I want a stock carry pistol. Honestly this was the first Glock Iv'e ever owned. Just never been a Glock guy but the thinness along with the actual size of the 43X was the perfect combo for me. I considered a lot of other quality makes but in the end I chose the Glock. Happy I did and well satisfied with my weapon. Good video Mike !

A gun that I see in my future is the Walther PDP, I shot my buddies, who is a LEO and its a tack driver! Same or better groups than my Staccato P. My EDC’s are as follows based on the clothes I’m wearing and what I’m doing for the day 1. CZ P10C with Holosun EDC (Monday-Friday) 2. S & W Shield Plus with Holosun EDC Carry (Quick trips outside the house and always by my side in and around the house, in addition to my Carry Gun that day) 3. Staccato P with Trijicon SRO (Weekend Carry and anytime I feel I need the extra firepower). I carry appendix and can hide this as well as the others without printing. Don’t hate the “player” lol 4.

Thank you for a great list! My usual carry piece is the Shadow Systems CR920P. I haven’t shot the Wilson but hope to in the near future. Cheers!

[@TacticalConsiderations]

That wilson is very nice to run.

[@scottmagnuson76]

Awesome video! When it is warm out I carry the S&W Shield Plus, and when it is cold out I carry the Shadow Systems MR 920…. In your experience, What would you consider to be the best/ most reliable AR’s?

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Right on. For AR's best most reliable are generally going to be things ranging from noveske, KAC, BCM, Triarc, cobalt . There are so many that are super reliable all the way down to the saint victor, iwi zion and others.

[@lunatic-hz5pr]

PDP F 3.5" barrel, yes, she a little thick, but I don't mind

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Its a great carry for sure.

[@wadecheek7359]

I'm trying to decide between the Shield plus and the 365 x; which to keep and which to give to my wife.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Nice

[@timjohnson8390]

I think it funny people buy small guns to be more concealable but then add light and red dot and it's no longer tiny and concealable

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Its more tiny and concealable than a full size with those options. I can carry almost all of these in gym shorts with no one noticing at all.

[@erikchristopherson9700]

I disagree. For me personally my g43x mos with a light and red dot is not less concealable then before. I will say that a light bearing holster can be slightly less comfortable due to the added size.

Don't carry then. Problem solved. - sincerely Mr. Criminal.

What are the measurments of your hand from pinky to thumb, and middle finger to bottom of palm?

[@TacticalConsiderations]

A carry rotation vastly different in design and function is probably not the best idea. I carry different things only because of the channel.

[@TTime685]

@@TacticalConsiderations Eh? I think you replied to a different comment 😅

[@waterhead1359]

I think were past the glock is the most proven pistol thing ,at what point is enough enough? Each glock is different some break ,malfunction or just needs refining.recently glock has qc issues. If a gun has been out for 10 years and has tens of thousands of rds through it no problems, it's vetted

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Well maybe, but there are probably 2-3 times as many glocks in active use than any other brand out with lots more data over the past 30 years.

[@hardblinker6275]

Currently EDCing my Sig P365x. Love it, nothing wrong with it. Next gun I'm wanting to get is either a Smith & Wesson M&P40, Springfield Hellcat Pro 9mm, Sig P320, Glock 26.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

That Pro is pretty solid.

[@iitstre_4550]

Jjst snagged a 320 compact and a red dot for my EDC. Carried the m17 for a year while deployed and I love the platform. Feels good, responsive, weighted very well to counter the recoil (granted it’s not much anyway but still, helps). Only thing I’ll change anytime soon is probably to get a ported or comped slide and then I’ll be working on my next weapon purchase after that

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Glad you are liking it.

[@quentinjackson3778]

I'm rocking Taurus g2c,g3c ,ruger ec9s, max 9, kimber maco that's my EDC every month this year I might switch up next year 😊

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Not a bad way to go on those.

[@markchavez5560]

Great options for different folks and most about the same price range. Well done!

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Thanks for watching.

[@bullhockie65]

My edc is the Canik MC9, but I have several Caniks and one of my favorite features is that the MC9 is a double stack, meaning every Canik magazine I have will fit it!

[@TacticalConsiderations]

I dig the mc9 its a great overall fit and feel. I still need to get more rounds on it for the follow up video.

[@will0413]

I just picked up a s&w 5.7. Absolutely would trust my life with it.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Nice.

[@Sapper-oh7cw]

I just became a firearm owner for the first time and im glad that i picked the mc9 and just seeing it in this video is awesome

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Welcome to the club. Hope you are enjoying it so far.

[@roberthoffman7972]

Picked up my X macro for 422$ yesterday, smokeshow of a deal I couldn't pass on. So far loving this thing. Definitely gonna get the icarus precision grip soon, as I have a preference to all metal guns. Great vid!

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Nice hope you enjoy.

[@OceanGuy808]

My favorite pistol is my P365 XL Icarus Precision EVO. I bought because of this channel. I absolutely love it.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

That grip is amazing

[@jdontcare8520]

CZ P10c is my main carry gun and I sometimes pocket carry my LCP Max. With winter approaching, I'll probably add the Echelon into my rotation.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Echelon is very good.

[@danielleboeuf8219]

Great list. I own both the Shield Plus and the IWI Masada S. I tend to carry the Shield Plus most often, but I can't bring myself to sell the Masada S because it's such a great pistol.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

I tried the masada s the trigger was really odd on mine. I got rid of it.

[@remembermorrison]

I have XL hands and the Shield Plus fits my hands perfectly. I may or may not own half this list and a ton of others, so plenty of experience. I've been shooting Glocks forever, but recently discovered how much I love the M&P line up.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Shield plus is no joke.

[@ciaramikics9284]

With money being an issue, the final decision was a new Taurus G3c. Much improved in quality over previous non G Taurus models, and the comfort/grip makes it my edc.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Glad you are liking it.

[@Ksweezy96]

EDCing MR920 & CR920. Getting a CR920p soon. Love em both!

[@TacticalConsiderations]

very nice

[@ernestholloway9436]

I love your videos and have bought a few guns because of your reviews. I would ask u to do 2 things for me and those who watch you're videos. 1 Please continue to be honest. 2 Please don't let these companies try to buy u. Take care and God bless.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

I appreciate that. No company gets a free pass. But all get an equal shot

[@ernestholloway9436]

@TacticalConsiderations Well, that all one can hope for. I did get the hellcat pro, but I didn't the 15 round magazine. I felt it to small for my hands so I got the 17 round magazine. I also got the echelon as well based on your reviews. I really do feel unlike some of the other gun channels u keep it real.

[@osprey2499]

One of the ladies at our fun shoot competition had her G43X slide stop/slide release break. The portion that goes up near the locking block just sheared off. Pretty interesting.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Wow crazy

[@mcmillansorchards7371]

Great video as usual! What would be your pick between the p365xl spectre comp and cr920p?

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Well I don't have the spectre comp so I cannot really make that without some testing .

[@ddw76y]

Arex Rex Zero 2 for me. I just purchased the FNX 509 and FNX 40 to go to my collection, along with HK P30 in 9mm and 40, and Walther PPQ. Variety is nice, especially when accurate and powerful.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Solid stuff.

[@rondouglas5147]

Finally at the end a real gun, but $3,00+/- for the Wilson. What about the Kimber Ultra CDP II .45ACP or the Sig P938 in 9MM? I finally bought a P365, has a few extra rounds (CA Limitations) but not as accurate as a single action trigger.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Kimber has great stuff as well. I carried my tac entry 2 on duty for a good mount of years.

[@MartyBugg]

[@foggymountainman9138]

Been carrying glock 27- 40sw for 20ish years now. It save my life one time from a black bear attack , but im ready to up grade to more capacity in this crazy world... leaning towards a CZ Haven't made my mind up yet. Thanks for the reviews 👍🤝

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Glad you had it with you.

[@applied.precision]

Great video as always. My understanding is that the 43X has the same grip angle as the rest but it feels different due to it being thinner. If I'm wrong correct me, but when i looked it up it listed it as the same 22 degrees as the rest.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Less hump

[@christiantvernon9682]

Regarding firearms, while handguns aren't my primary interest, I do possess a few chambered in 9mm, .40, and .45 caliber. I'm considering adding a 10mm to my collection alongside a revolver. Presently, I'm exploring the Ruger Alaskan in .454 caliber. Although a .44 caliber revolver is an option, I appreciate the versatility of the .454, allowing me to also fire .45 Colt rounds, essentially providing the functionality of two firearms in one. Considering this, would you recommend opting for a .454 caliber revolver if constrained to only one choice?

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Well I am not usually a fan of those chamberings due to the cost of them. But if cost is no issue why not.

[@mattmanzano51]

1. P365 xMacro - Perfect in every way unlike its cousin the P320 paperweight 2. Springfield XD9 Sub Compact - an underdog of a firearm, and absolutely reliable as is. 3. Taurus PT111 - reliable and accurate right out of the box

[@TacticalConsiderations]

The X macro is a very solid choice.

[@QuantumTactical]

Funny. I am carrying my WCB EDC x9 in 3.5 right now and it’s truly one of my favorites. Add to it a Bitterroot holster and it’s perfection in your belt. In fact I did my instructor certifications using it and fun it’s as accurate as any of competition pistols.

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Its so good.

[@roguemodel]
