Top 5 Pistols for When it Hits the Fan | Magic Prepper

1911, Beretta M9, Glock, sure. But HK? Nope, not as common as you apparently think. Now, the Smith & Wesson M&P series? It's a slam dunk: super common, adopted by tons of LE agencies, great ergonomics, build quality runs with or exceeds any modern polymer model, extreme reliability, and price on both the new and used market is absolutely outstanding. A Sig choice would not be the P320/M18/M17; it's still not sufficiently common on the market but for a federal agency or two and of course, U.S. military. A better choice would be the Sig 226/229 in that they're readily available in .40 S&W and 9mm, there are abundant leather gear and magazines available, their infinite rebuildability, and of course extreme reliability.

Good video, But I do miss seeing larry

Good list MP, thanks for sharing

In the way this is framed... look no further than battlefield loot drops... In the meantime I'm rock'in a Taurus G3 with a Gmconn 1200 lumen light 🤷‍♂️

If you have the same weapon system so you can take the same mags as the said military that is in power at the time you do the math on that one that would be the preferred system that being said it doesn't really matter cuz you can just take a drop weapon and pick it up along with the other system etcetera does it really matter I mean you can sit here and speculate on what's the best thing here and what's the best thing their overall it's not going to last forever in a poop hit the fan situation anyway and you're going to end up switching systems out for something else

GLOCK, BABY!

M9 doubles as a blunt force weapon and that makes it more versatile in a time of emergency.

FN 509 Mid

Your Glock description kinda describes a high point too. 😂😂.

Yes ruger 101

Personally I think the Hi point c9 is king

I no doubt agree 100% about Glock being the #1 pick. However, whatever SHTF scenario you encounter a robust 357 magnum revolver should be on this list. We can argue back and forth about capacity in reality. Taking small to large game and even birds with shotshells a revolver wins hands down. Now let's take an entire family in the SHTF situation, every family no doubt has a member that's reluctant to learn the manual of arms of a gun. Now I ask you if it came down that non shooting enthusiast family member what would you rather see them try to use a semi-auto or a double action revolver? Lose or damage a magazine and your semi-auto is now a paper weight. As for capacity as a retired law enforcement officer unarmed assailants in most cases don't want to draw straws on who wants to get shot. If multiple armed assailants attack you, you are screwed whether your capacity is 17 or 6 rounds.

Nicely done report

The old Glock 32 Gen 4 in .357 Sig is a sure bet across tge board. Flat and fast, penetration with a blast. "When you carry this pistol, you're well armed". Bill Hickock.

CZ 75 SERIES IS #1. This gun is an idiot. 😂

I wish I never saw this,,,,this guy is unbearable

Got to hear you talk to much..got to go..post sucks congratulations

I have an old Beretta made in Italy 92 FC compact which would answer most of the complaints of the to large size of the regular 92. The larger magazines fit my Compact just extends slightly

I think S&W ( or colt) .357 magnum revolver should be on this list too

Thanks but , I'll stick with my hellcat as my edc and my rockisland A1E comando as my I ain't playin

Glock 19 100%

I don't see any wrong answers in the comments. Most modern day produced semi auto handguns today are reliable, so it comes down to - what works good for you,what's comfortable in your hand(as you will shoot it better) this list is simply one man's preference.

Everyone has a opinion on what the Best Five handguns.
Just like saying.
What's the BEST AND TOP FIVE Trucks made!!
Questions Opinions.
Bottom line.
What is your Budget and what Firearm is comfortable for You!
And what purpose are you buying for?
And Are you planning to go to the Shooting Ranch and Practice! Practice! Practice and get very Familiar with your baby.
And most of All!!
Go take a firearms Class. Know your State Gun Laws. And get your CCW card.
Just saying. Peace out!

I stopped watching when this idiot is waving a pistol around with the hammer back. Safety first. This guy has no idea about Safety

Any 45 ACP. Not always the brand.

How about a revolver type for shtf? A good .357 s&w. 2 types of ammo to choose from Incase ammo is scarce, reliable, sturdy. Maybe not the best for quick follow up shots but will still put a fat hole. I always thought about that, if I could only choose one which would it be, My Glock19 or s&w .357

Says who ?

Sig 365 macro comp x is better than all of those then I would go with HK and CZ

HK MK 23

FN 510! FTW!!!

Dude, Glock haters gonna hate!
🤣😝

For the parameters you layed out, I would think build simplicity would be king. Red dots are nice but add corners to snag and batteries that die. Modularity is great, but in a high stress environment", taking your firearm apart risks losing parts or introducing accidental function loss. In my own set up I like adding components that work together. My glock mags also work in my sub2k. Both are super basic and proven reliable through 15 years of operation. Maybe you could create a new list of firearms too simple to fail, but that offer side benefits more complex firearms can't offer.

Glocks are for the LGBT community.

I own examples of the 1911 and the USP. I quite often use the USP for concealed , but I favor the 1911 for SHTF because parts and magazines are found almost everywhere.

Canik is the best thing going

Sig really they are not very drop safe from what I understand

Browning hi power for the same reasons as 1911.

The H&K, needs to go, and the 320 made the list with the recall? Should be the sig M11-A1, and a smith revolver.

HK VP9 feels like it was made for your individual hand.

The Taurus GX4 TORO carry

What about the Canik nine

You have your guns in reversed order

You haven't reviewed a company called IWI (ISRAELI WEAPON INDUSTRIES). IWI MAKES 2 9mm pistols: a Masada striker fired pistol and a Jericho 2 whichI have. The was compared to a Glock 17. For accuracy, depending ability, and price point, the Masada won. IWI makes weapons for combat.

Opinions are like a..holes, everyone has one.

Para p14 and usp45t are my two go-to

Hi point yeet cannon. Reliable and no one will try and steal it.

I'm definitely not a glock boy. Like yourself, it's not my favorite. For all the reasons you mentioned. What is my most edc? My glock 29. It just goes bang every time. 10mm, my favorite ammunition. Obvious reason. My favorite's, Beretta LTE amazing hand gun. Tied with my Dan Wesson 45 1911. Both are a little hard to conceal carry.
Great video! Thank you

I hated my p320 with a passion, it's like a Glock except needlessly more complicated inside and is an afterthought, I'll keep my p226 and p6

P226, Beretta 92 / M9, CZ-75, Glock 26 (10 round mags all the way up to 30+ round mags), Ruger SP-101

so which on do i use on myself for the most painless results?
