For me, almost all Glocks are not worth the money. You can get a CZ, Beretta APX, M&P, or Canik with similar reliability and better features for $200 less.
Dont piss off the glock fan boys who wanna fall into the stigma😢
As someone who owns only Glock handguns, I agree entirely.
The one gun I regret selling was my SKS. Russian made, stamped 1954, like new in box with all the original kit. Bought it from a guy who had stacks of them at a gun show in San Francisco, CA (imagine that!!!) in 1994 for $120. Sold it a few years later for $250, thinking I was such a genius for doubling my investment. 🤦♂️
Ughhhhhh bro that’s painful,, but how could you know decades later,, they’d be worth over 1000 in some cases.. Back in those days they were everywhere it seemed,, even the ammo was dirt cheap and could get sealed cases of it for dirt cheap…had I known better I’d stacked up,,god I hate looking back at the shoulda,, coulda,, woulda..
I have 2 sks"s. One i am restoring that was handed down when my father passed, (although by the time i finish my time may be past!) these are the only semi automatics I own except for the ruger 10/22 stainless takedown. At htis point nearly all of my semi auto pistols have be sold as well. Yes I have the obligatory glock 19 for now and the pre usa beretta 92, but prefer my lever, bolt, and single shot rifles and my revolvers. Most of us old timers aint looking to get into a gun battle against a squad. By the way, no that is a mans beard your rockin!! I tend to keep my old mostly white beard trimmed back quite a bit. oh my sccy cpx2's didnt fail for me.
Sccy is a great tool. If you use a sccy for traing for a self defense situation you are a notch above people who dont. Where else can you get a tool that will let you train for jams, failure to feed, eject, shoot, hold a magazine and probably 10 more failures that nobody has ever heard of. Seriously a unreliable gun is a great tool to train with. If you have a firearm that never fails whats gonna happen if you need it and it has a failure, milliseconds count. If your use to a sccy that fails, then you automatically fix it if your use to no failures your gonna be shocked and possibly shot.
Fair point
Exactly! Also why I never clean my range pistol.
Word!
Polish your mag feed lips on sccys's, I have a cpx1 and the newer dvg 1.. cpx1 only had one fte from limp wristing.. they have both ran beautifully after doing the polish job.. they are honestly great guns, sccy just needs to invest in a better oem mag company other than their in house crap.
A Glock 44 is good for the same issue / failure training. And it is identical in manual of arms and size for the Glock 19, which is a good carry gun. But the Glock 44 uses 22LR which is cheaper to train with and easier to get non-shooters to fire, as it does not scare them (more like the anti-gun propaganda has not scared them away from an actual defense capable caliber).
I have been saying that slide cut 'comp' and skin change Sigs are, for the most part, money grabs. You trade some barrel and slide weight for those two big cuts that are way too loose for the caliber to compensate. For ~$800 you can get a CR920P, which has a truly effective QD comp, and most dots can be direct mounted onto it.
I love the M1 carbine because of it's looks but mainly it's size to power ratio. It's weak link are what I think are poorly made magazines. Magpul ought to step in and make one.
To me I wouldn't have a sccy because you can buy a Taurus g3c for 229. I have a g3c and a Smith shield EZ 9 mm. Both great guns.
My old Taurus g2c was way better then my old sccy. Hell, my old hi point is better then my old sccy. ( i say 'old'to all these because i lost them in a canoe accident)
Someone had a great point with the sccy, its a good training gun for ranges good to get use to jams and other Failures with a gun that does it very much why have a gun that works 99 of the time and only use that and when it jams and malfunctions when you need it but you dont know what to do after that
In most cases you get what you pay for with firearms. Also I don't live tricking out my handguns for I've found that adding extras or upgrades can really screw up reliability with them. When the factory's test, guns they are not putting on options. I've bought different types of options for guns and I wish I'd saved my cash afterwards.
Can you name some examples of stuff you’ve brought you wished you saved money on? 1 for me is fiber optic sights, if not made correctly they are prone to falling out (something that just isn’t an issue with normal sights)
I agree the Spectre Comp is an awesome gun, but I paid far too much for it. When I purchased in Florida, the FDE version was priced at $1185 and now that same gun is marked down to $750. I wish I'd waited a few months before buying !
Definitely paid extra, got mine for 800, but regardless it is a great gun, so don't beat yourself up 😉🍻
One of the guns he mentions is the B&T APC9 Pro, a 9mm pistol with a hydraulic buffer and fully ambidextrous controls, which he thinks is overpriced, starting at $3,000. He suggests the Stribog SP93 as a more affordable alternative. The speaker also expresses regret over the increasing expense of military surplus guns, specifically those from World War II, such as the B&T APC9, G43, SVT40, and SKS. While he appreciates their history, he acknowledges that their high cost and the expense of their ammo make them less practical options for defensive purposes. The speaker also shares his regrets over purchasing the Sig Sauer Spectra Comp pistol, despite its custom features, and suggests the FTE Spectra Comp as a cheaper alternative. He also mentions the HK SP5, praising it as the best PDW in the world but acknowledging its high price tag. The speaker expresses his disappointment over the $77,000 asking price of the Taran Tactical Sand Viper pistol, despite its incredible shooting capabilities. He also reflects on his experience with the Smith & Wesson MMP Shield EZ and criticizes the Performance Center version as overpriced. Lastly, the speaker shares his regret over purchasing the affordable Sky CPX2 handgun due to its unreliable performance, including issues with magazine springs, hammers, and unexpected discharges. He encourages viewers to consider other budget options for defensive tools.
SP5 is expensive but its one of my favorite guns wouldn`t sell for what I paid for it. Love the gun its worth it to me.
I always like your reviews. They are insightful and informative. They are in depth without being overly nerdy
Most people who I’ve met with sccys have never actually shot the gun. I guess long as it makes it through those first 2 self defense mags (I hope lol) in a life or death situation everything is ok, IF it works 😂. Once you start talking $400-$500++++ some people just refuse to hear anything past that unfortunately they don’t want to do nothing but shoot 2 mags a year at the range & throw it in the glovebox smh. That’s why I try to push them towards full-size Taurus g3/g3c
I was able to get some military surplus stuff really cheap, a 1932 Mosin in really good condition, a really beat up SKS, a Romanian underfolder which was converted to semi-automatic, surplus stuff is really cool almost entirely because they're old and there is the history and story behind them. Let's be honest, though, the technology is obsolete, and the value in them is really just to have a change of pace for range shooting and learning about the history.
You can get reliability in Glock and Smith & Wesson. I made a mistake with sig, don’t want to do that again
90% of the SCCYs that came into the range had some kind of issue. People would ask me what I thought was wrong with it? I flat out told them, "it's a SCCY". It's a shame that this company puts out an item so unreliable ( especially a firearm) for a price point and attracts unsuspecting buyers with a multitude of colors.
What's your opinion on a gen 5 g29.. I never liked glock until this one, theres still things I dislike but I'll be keeping it
The spectre comp is an excellent gun. Its just expensive.
forsure. not worth it for retail but if you can find one for 800> i think it’s worth it
I got my Spector comp in FDE for 800 from psa
Maybe it's because you are buying guns for video tests, or maybe it's because I never have any desire to buy the "latest and greatest", but you sure seem to fall for a bunch of lemons. I have never been fooled into buying any of the guns you regretted. 🤷♂
It’s definitely because he is a reviewer 😂 it’s literally his job to find out if they suck or not lmao
@@paragon1782I’m assuming dude has connections because that’s a lot of gear to buy and review
@@sasquatchhunter86 probably does, probably part crowd funded and it all would be a tax write off for him.
They're not all lemons. He's a drama queen desperate for content.
Never cared if my weapons looked cool. SGM (ret.) AATW
The ideal P365 for my is the XMacro. I bought hte wife the X Comp and she loves it.
Yeah the comps cool I have one,,really nice fired over 1000 rounds through it zero problems… 17 round mag.. Although,, idk if it’s just my mags but I swear to god some ammo I can’t get 17 in it even with a speed loader only 16 … Like for example the 124 grain Federal HSt plus p…But, I can get 17 in if it’s 115 grain Fmj For example…
@@Jrh-rp7np got one myself and it’s just a PITA no real way around it unless you change out baseplates which I don’t really recommend because it can affect reliability in the future. put 16 rack and add, unfortunate we don’t get 18 but I think 17 is plenty. I kept a mag fully loaded for months and it didn’t help a whole lot.
Have a 365 spectre comp. Love sig still.. got a shadow systems mr920. Love it more than any other handgun.. have yet to try some of the cz stuff and may revisit the walther pdp
The HK is the HK Who cares if it’s overpriced or “ better “ non HK equivalents for less.
Idk if I regret it but the shockwave was definitely not a gun I needed but I love it so much
Hes im from switzerland and i have a question. What cost a decent m1 carabine in the US?
😆 I own a couple ((Apc9sd pro($2800),spectre comp($800)) of these guns. The p365 is my carry (don’t like Glock angle) and apc9 is my bedside gun. To me they’re worth it.
I bought B&T APC Pro on a clearance sale 20% off before my state banned normal capacity so it was +1900 before 8.8% tax
My Glocks may be all different sizes of the same thing but they are all reliable. This is the most important factor for any firearm.
sig is as reliable and better in every way dur da dur 😂
@@russholcomb unless your sig fires for no reason lol
got my coyote tan p365xl spectre comp for 770$ brand new. wouldn’t pay retail for it but i couldn’t pass it up for the price i paid
The 365 Macro AXG legion is worth it.
I personally don’t own any of these guns myself. Personally I don’t mind paying for a quality firearm but whatever people like is fine with me.
SP5 HD. You lost me at direct thread, no Trilug. 🤙🏽
Yeah...any movie references and I'm done looking. People blur the line between reality and video? No thanks
I have the 10mm version of this amazing gun. I paid $2300, which is about what the 9mm goes for. Where did you get the $3000 price from?
He is probably considering the tax stamp that goes with it and maybe taxes. I can tell you they are pricey. I own the APC9 SD 12.5 Can with the MBT stock, paid $3500 OOTD plus 2 stamps. Already at 4k. Got a good deal on my SPC9 PDW SBR at $1900. But tax stamp, taxes, & FLL transfer fee put it at $2500. And got an APC9 Limited coyote tan. 3k plus $300 in transfer fee and tax stamp. My wife is not happy.
The Spectre Comp is definitely an overpriced gun for what you actually get, but it is arguably the best concealed carry gun on the market... and it's going to be somewhat rare, for whatever that's worth. I cringed when I payed for mine, but I'm still thrilled to be able to have it as my EDC. For those fortunate enough to not care about a couple hundred bucks either way, it's the best option. If money is a restriction, just the P365X with optics mount is a fantastic option.
I still shoot my gen 2 and 3 Glocks because I’m thrifty and so many modern pistols are not sold in CA. Though I do like the S&W M&P 9 2.0 line.
Taran tactical is just a name with stupid money for a custom gun. It isn't worth anything more than 1k
He has to charge a ridiculous price. How else is he gonna pay to take out all his wanna be gun bunnies?
I got a lee infield 4 mrk 2 350$ 1942 ww2 and it's just different with the 10rds of .303 pretty cool I thought
I've seen enough pictures of sccy pistols where the slides are blown apart. I'm good
1.5 speed sounds like normal speech
Give me a G19 and an LE6920 and I'm straight
Why? Were you gay before those two pistols? Bahaha.....just kidding!
@@almaadams3631 - L0L. That's not what I meant (I'm an oldhead and words were different)
@FierceMouse So, you're saying every day you're woke is a good day? That hits differently now. Lol
Rather have an HK MP5 any day over a B&T. The Stribog is definitely a great alternative (and much cheaper) to the stupidly overpriced B&T. I have a third gen Stribog and it runs like a top!…even with HP’s….But HK is still king!
The bnt a pistol?…that “brace…”?!?
Guns like the sccy irritate me, companies put out this crap and market it for budget buyers that only have 200bucks for a gun on an impulse buy, and are not informed on what else is out there for not much more money, or are not willing to save a bit longer and then have a crappy gun that may or may not work, and i dont buy the "its better then nothing" because a big rock is better then a pistol acting up like shown in the video, save up a few more bones and get a used glock or m&p, i always recommended police trade ins, usually those are in the 3-4 hun range
Idk I bet if you threw a sccy at someone it would really hurt
You can tell this guy only owns guns to make these videos. Then he pushes 💩 like the stribog over a B&T, and he thinks the p365 series aren't worth it. Stop buying guns to try and look cool in videos.
It's the same reason he continually dumps all over Glock: for views.
Mp5 great overpriced. Cz scorpion or mpx better
I understand your trying to make content to keep your channel going. But your experiences with these weapons don't equate to the experiences of others. There are people out there who don't have the funds to buy your expensive choices of what you think is a great gun.
💅fukumean?
Its deeply ridiculous to complain about historical collectibles going up in price. It is further deeply ridiculous to evaluate their price based on the gun itself.
Why?
Sand viper is THE biggest rip off in the entire industry. If you have ANY experience with guns even half the price, you’d know. Nighthawk custom TRS Comp, anything from Atlas, Vudoo priest, MPA DS9, legion precision, watchtower Apache, literally ANY of those guns are legitimately BETTER guns than the pit or sand viper and most for way less money. All of TTIs guns are overpriced trash.
Glock 44
🇺🇸
Seems like you regret a lot of things lol
❤
Why do I always get Honest Outlaw and Hegshot87 mixed up???🤦♂️
sub, great vid !!!
@22:00 point it at range officer and say whats wrong with this thing? ive seen this irl and i pray everyday i never see it again
so you lie to make videos and now you are making a video about how you lie about it? WTF
if people didnt care about the looks of guns they would get hi points
Can you imagine paying for this whining on patreon...
