The second half of his version was "so push it till it breaks well before you need it, then get them to issue you another one. You'll know exactly how far you can trust it at that point." (Second great piece of advice : "When they ask for volunteers, raise your hand. You'll get a wider range of experiences and will get known as the effective guy. Everyone is afraid to volunteer, it's low hanging fruit.) (Third piece : "The personal kit the military gives you is your parade kit.

This video came out at a very appropriate time for me. A few months ago I purchased a Bersa Thunder 380 CC. My initial impressions of the gun were extremely good; I found it easy to use, comfortable to handle, I liked the action, and I could shoot it accurately. Two weeks ago, that all changed. I was at the range practicing with it and the slide stop fractured. The gun is still under warranty, but UPS and FedEx will not ship guns anymore, even though warranty service shipping is legal. So, that left me with an FFL transfer as the only option, with the combined fees of shipping and transfer being around one hundred dollars. So, I have been debating if I want to spend the hundred dollars and send the gun to get warranty serviced, or if I should just save the money to buy something better. I realized though, that I will never trust that gun again, every time I fire it I will wonder if the slide stop will fracture again. Even if they send me a new one instead of repairing it, I will still wonder if that failure was a one off and I just got unlucky, or if it will happen with that new gun. Even worse, my friend owns a Bersa Thunder 380 (Not the CC version) and three times now a spring has jumped its track in it, rendering it completely non functional. So at this point I want nothing to do with Bersa. After watching this video, and realizing that I will NEVER trust that gun again or any Bersa for that matter, I think I will save the money and put it towards something better.

Though I would test each one before you put your life on it, but should still do fine in range practice.

I personally carry a newer, 4-5 year old, rock island armory 1911 fulls size government model, I carry hornady critical duty, +p ballistic tipped hollowpoint, is wilson combat 8 round single stacked magazines. I have fired hundreds of rounds through these magazines with that ammo and that firearm and have had zero failures. I fully trust that firearm with those mags and that ammunition. I've had more then one person tell me its not enough ammo. I know I can resolve any self defense situation with that setup with that amount of ammunition. Having blind faith in your firearm is dangerous, so get out there, put that baby to the test and make it prove itself to you. Keep up the good work Paul!

While I don't own an audi, I think you'd agree that windshields changed a lot over the last 50 years and being part of the integral structure of modern cars. Same goes for sound dampening and all the gizmos that are added. I had my fill of things hard to get to like lately trx-sensors. After I curse for a bit I remember that the most well intentioned designer and engineer may have to deal with someone that screws up everything but has the last word.

Thanks for doing this video Paul! I’ve recently tried getting my wife into firearms for the purpose of self defense for the past few months. I’ve tried getting her into 9mm, .357, and .380. She’s grown quite fond of the Sig Sauer P365-380 despite many “firearm experts” claiming that .380 is not an effective round for home defense. Nevertheless, her grouping on .380 is far and away better than my own grouping on .45 ACP despite having far more experience in firearms than her. I’ve been shooting guns since I was 12 and she started last year. Hardy harr all you want about my inability to group accurately on .45 ACP but I feel much better about her firing accurately at 10 yards with .380 100 grain than I do firing .45 ACP at the same distance. That’s why my home defense gun is a 9mm.

So based on my personal experience I’d not think it would be different than those and if I saw it differently in a possible future attack then I’d not give my life over for a dog and would shoot it if all else fails.

There is no substitute for having confidence in your gear; I get rid of guns I can’t trust. I’ve had a few that required some patience and work to iron out problems but in the end I was able to make them trustworthy…by my standards. As we all know guns are mechanical things and subject to predictable failure modes. These generally occur very early or very late in their lifespan. Their useful life (read: trustworthy) can be extended by periodic maintenance and common sense. Great video.

I have always enjoyed the way you present information. I spent almost 18 years in the Army. So the last 6 I carried the Beretta M9. At first I didn't have a lot of faith in the caliber. I had seen the results of the over pentation. As I became more familiar with the weapon and caliber I developed trust and faith that when I pulled the trigger it would fire. I never had a malfunction with the Beretta. Before that I was issued a M203 and absolutely loved it. I'm not a big fan of the 5.56, but it's what I had so it was what I used. I'm sorry for rambling. Now my choice is a S&W 40 caliber. I also like the 357 mag.

Well I'm definitely that guy. The only two calibers that I'm perfectly comfortable with are the 357 mag and the 45 acp . I've got a Ruger EC9s 7+1 micro 9mm, but I very seldom carry it anywhere outside the house. I know that it's 100% reliable, hits where I aim it and has the "best" self defense rounds available. But I've had mixed results when dealing with garbage bandits. Sometimes it only takes a single round, but other times it takes several rounds. My 45 on the other hand has always done the job with a single round using high quality HPs. I've also put over 1400 rounds through my 4" aluminum frame 1911 45 in two years with exactly four malfunctions and all four were the result of using a cheap ProMag seven round mag. With my Chip McCormick eight round mags, that little 1911 has run every kind of ammo I could get my hands on, from Browning FMJs to steel case Russian FMJs and everything in between. 185 gr,200 gr,210 gr,220 gr and 230 gr FMJs and HPs. I know that it will always go boom every time I pull the trigger. I trust my life completely with pistol. I've never trusted a 9mm and I never will. And I'm not going to change my mind. Every woods hunter knows that at close range, a big heavy bullet traveling at modest speed will drop a deer faster than a small light bullet going much faster. I've seen that with my own eyes several times. A cousin I used to hunt with always carried a 270 Winchester with 130 gr bullets and I always carried a Marlin 336 in 30-30 with 170 gr Remington Core Loked bullets. We killed several deer together and the majority of the time, the deer he shot would run several yards while the ones I shot in the same place dropped right where they stood. Mine had less meat damage also. The statistics charts also show that a 45 has a higher one shot stop rating than a 9mm. The king of one shot stop ratings is the good ol 357 mag. Since it's been around since 1935,there's a huge amount of data to back that claim up. Actually, that's the caliber I wanted most when I got enough money to buy a high quality carry gun. Unfortunately that was in 2020 . I went to every gun shop in my little town and the only 357s that I could find were Taurus snubbies. I refuse to trust my life with a Taurus. Ever. I really wanted a Ruger GP100 357 with a 4" barrel. I'd settled for a S&W,but in 2020 the pickings were very slim here in the NC mountains. So when I found a Springfield Range Officer 1911 45, I grabbed it. I just barely missed the same pistol except that the one I missed was a full sized, steel framed model. That would have been my choice. +P rated and then I would have ordered a Wilson Combat 45 Super barrel and spring and a 460 Rowland conversion. That would have been a great all purpose rig. You can shoot standard 45 acp in a 45 Super barrel and switch to the 460 for deer hunting and black bear defense. For anyone that's not familiar with the 460, it's got more energy than a 44 mag and leaves the 10mm in the dust. Plus it's a heavier, larger bullet diameter. Even Alaskan guides are starting to go with the 460. Well, maybe someday. It ultimately comes down to what each individual feels like what's appropriate for their particular lifestyle. I love all guns, but I will always be a 357 and 45 man when it comes to my EDC. That's what makes our community so great. So many choices and never enough money to get em all. Another great video Paul. I look forward to the next one.
