The way things are going, the only thing that'll suck will be not having a gun.
Guns are useless without ammunition. That's what you need to worry about. Buy a cap and ball revolver 🔫.
@@benfranklin3963 True. Though using cap and ball is pushing that thinking to the extreme haha.
@@benfranklin3963 Cap and ball revolvers were unavailable nearly all of last year due to Italy being shut down. There's limited availability of the firearms now. However, real black powder is nonexistent. All caps for the revolvers are nonexistent. Round balls are nonexistent. Molds for making your own round balls are nonexistent. If you didn't stock up on stuff before Rona, it's the same as trying to find supplies for any other firearm.
Well said, I can hear Barry saying this
spot on, but I would replace "going" with "gone"
Rule number 1 , no matter what hobby you are in stop trying keep up with people , stay in your own lane .
Indeed. You'll be much happier when you stop worrying what your snobby friend thinks. I would rather have a 600 dollar ar15 with 2000 than 100 different guns with a pathetic handfull of ammo for each.
Rule # 1 is always look cool.
@@richardmendoza738 now you are thinking like a rational person and not a blind bandwagon consumer!
My $400 ATI OMNI MAXX AR15 pisses off the gun snobs at the range that pad $1200+ for their AR. I can shoot just as flat and fast and they can't stand it!
@@xDIRTYSOUTHx thats because YOU are a good shooter. something that a lot of people try to mask with "quality" products.
Highpoint in your hand is better than a cop on the phone 💁♀️💯
Not if it jams up when you need it most. I never have shot one but I’ve seen many videos of them jamming up through regular use. Hickok 45 has a great video that shows this
Not sure if this is really a good argument... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One down range is better then none jam or not
@@annotten7413 Any gun can jam due to many reasons. Most commonly magazines, ammo, or operator error. There are tons of videos on CZcams running hipoints through the ringer and they just work. If all you have is $150 and you need a gun to protect yourself or your family by all means go for it. A hipoint in your hand is better than a glock on lay away.
Those things are heavy and ugly as sin but once you work it a bit, it's very reliable.
Hickory had a good video where he hit the same targets with a $500 1911 as he did with a $3000 1911.
Saw that one
Edit your comment and change it to "hickok45"for the people who get confused
@@loganite7103 Well now that your comment exsists, he doesn't have to
Given today's climate the only gun you own that sucks, is the one you dont have ammo for.
I can only afford to get shoot 50/100 rounds a month if I’m lucky. I shoot till I have 15 left (my mag capacity) and call it a day. That’s usually $50 for range rental and ammo
@@Sheridantank why do you do that? Buy the same ammo just don’t shoot all of it
@@GunsGamesGrub
Because I’m a new gun owner and would like to feel 100% competent in my ability. I’ve shot .22 revolvers and rifles and shotguns; but shooting a semi auto handgun is an entirely different thing. Especially in a “real” caliber.
Plus, I enjoy shooting too much. I feel like I’m getting pretty good at it and I always think “next shots a bullseye”
@@Sheridantank don't really need bullseye's, minute of paper is perfectly acceptable
@@StatesDivided
No, I NEED that bullseye lol. I’m fine having just one mag available at any time. If I ever have more income or ammo gets cheaper, I’ll get more mags and always have enough to keep those full too. I’m the same with driving, I use all the “extra” gas I have because I enjoy driving “too much”.
The only time I'll tell another man his gun sucks, Is if he tries selling it to me for double what he spent.
The value of some do go up can't fault someone that bought the gun at the right time then it doubles in value. If I buy an imported ak and then they quit importing those im not sell it for what I payed for it im gonna ask more you either take it or leave it
Selling glocks on Armslist for $800-$1000? 😂 or some beat ass SKS for 1200.

False ill take my ass too gunbroker lol if you're buying ammo during these times you weren't prepared to begin with.
@@davidconway8588 ill throw in the extra 500 rounds for 3k sir.
I love how Barry's timeless wisdom continues to live on through you guys on this channel, passed on to new gun owners who never knew him.
I remember my father told me when I was a kid all he could afford was a Jennings .380 and barely afford at that. Now life is better and we aren't in that position. But uts amazing all the people who say "JuSt SaVe Up" sometimes people can't and a $100 pistol is literally all they can afford to protect their family. Being a gun snob does no one good
A Hi-Point in your pocket is better than a Glock on Lay-Away.
If not for the cheaper finds I wouldn't have gotten my foot in the door of the hobbie ..first pick up was a cobra 380 .not far from Jennings ..same blueprint ..but now after learning some things I know better ..and have invested better ..rather go berretta than glock still tho.👍🏻
The only thing ill say bad about a Jennings is that i have heard of them blowing apart in people's hand. One of the few guns i have heard of like thay
I started with model 85 Taurus revolver snub then I bought a hi point and ever since then I’ve always recommended people to buy a Taurus over hi point nothing wrong with budget guns
Same, and I'd like to see a link to them "exploding" (I know of the lawsuit where taking a round out of the chamber with the safety on can cause it to discharge as the firing pin doesn't go back far enough to catch the trigger, and, if not removed through a hole barley it'd size and pulled back far enough, the pin can hit the pruner hard enough to fire, this is easily mitigated and if the kid had been taught the 4 simplest and most important gun rules he wouldn't have paralyzed anyone as it wouldn't have been flagging anyone.
There good little reliable guns, as simple as possible which is not always bad.
I miss Barry. I would have liked to hear his thoughts on today's environment.
Me too!
You're not kidding he is truly missed. one of the reasons I started watching back in the day!
I think if he would have been around the channel might have been blocked by ftube. But yea his insight would have been great.
@@The12bclions i'm still obsessed with Wax-loads & Cut-shells. 😋
He would have said "You brought me back to this " ? He would be correct.
You know who never said "that gun sucks!"?
The coroner
.22 LR and .25 ACP have made alot of those guys wealthy in past decades.
Exactly right.
Savage. But, also true.
lol
@@joehosier6187 you know who does say that though? The guy the coroner never sees because shooting him 12 times with .22 did nothing.
I carry the cheapest reliable handgun I can. If you ever have to use it, you'll never see that gun again.
Nah you get it back. Unless you use it robbing a store
Unless it was repealed, Texas passed a law forbidding police from keeping your gun for more than a few days unless they planned to charge you. So if you have a legitimate self defense shooting, you will likely get your gun back, soon.
@@fnkdtnk really? Nice
This video made me really happy. I own a smith and Wesson mp 15 sport 2 and after seeing your guys torture test video on it surviving over 800 rounds on full auto consecutively, it really made me realize you don’t need to spend $3500 to have a great reliable gun. Thank you
This comment only lacks likes because it’s mostly teens who make fun of people and for some reason adults are scared of teens thinking they are poor.

Great little rifle! Love my Sport 2
Served it's purpose when push came to shove and Kyle Rittenhouse needed to use that exact make and model to save his life from an angry mob, that's for sure! Between the torture test and a real life scenario where it was used to defend life, I'd trust it to keep my family safe 💯!
@@brokebankfishin4839 I am poor but if SHTF, I'll take a fellow blue collar friend with a hi point and plenty of experience over a guy who's got a glock and has no clue how to even clear a jam or double feed any day!

Last night I was watching the old vids and wondered what he’d say about the stuff going on today
RIP Barry. I loved his gun wisdom. I def go back to see some stuff with him from time to time.
When the zombie apocalypse happens, even gun snobs would use a hi point with to protect themselves.
I haven't owned a Hi Point carbine, but for what it is people attest they are typically solid. And like you said, in a dire situation it would far better than to be with something shaky.
I’m a poor boy. I work at a gun shop and range. I carry a g2c or a kahr Cm9. I used to get roasted for caring a g2c. I outshot 4 of my co workers that had glocks. They stopped the jokes after that lol.
There's nothing wrong with the G2c. I carried one everyday until I got my P365. Before anyone makes any wise cracks, I chose to carry the G2c over my HK USP, CZ P-10C, M&P Shield, and M&P 2.0 Compact. Taurus got it right when they put the G2c on the market. It's a fine shooter.
@@RichWhiteUM If practical and reliable are considered not fancy and a little boring, I'd rather have that "boring" firearm any time.
Nothing wrong with either of those guns. Def try to pick up an ar reciever tho! They can be had pretty cheaply.

Chet O'Brien
Lesson learned- I have my own range on my farm and over the years I’ve hosted dozens of guests. 95% of my visitors would bring their entire arsenal or most of it. When it came to shooting skill they were at best fair but mostly poor shooters. I also would bring several of my favorites and put 25-50 rds through each of them and could out shoot pretty much all of them ( I had my own range, right). One day I met Chip and Arnold at the local gun store, after discovering that we had many mutual acquaintances I invited them to shoot with me. To my surprise they each showed up with one gun. Glock 19 and 1911 in 9 mm, I brought my top five show off guns. They suggested that we do some drills and that’s when it got ugly, I had to decide which gun I was going to use, they obviously didn’t. After extensive shooting for speed and accuracy at close range I realized that these guys were serious competition shooters. One drill was taking turns shooting at an 18” steel target starting at 25 yds. After each rd everyone takes 5 paces back. If you missed twice you were out. I made it to 45 yds. Chip and Arnold were still pounding it at 100 yds and ran out of room. Arnold won with zero misses Chip missed once. Fast forward 10 yrs. I only carry one gun to the range, quote from Chip “ beware of the man with one gun”.
Yeah but no one expects a backup or two!
Some of us shoot for fun, it's not fun trying to one up your friends all the time, that's when they stop hanging out with you
@@skatehabitat711 Did you miss where I referred to them as competition shooters. And the entire point that if you’re going to carry a weapon you want to be as proficient as possible with it. Not everyone gets a trophy in a gun fight.
I'm paraphrasing something my dad used to say. "Beware the man who only owns one gun, he knows how to use it..... well."
That was a phrase of Jeff Cooper, the man who developed modern firearm training.

@@sammiches6859 I shoot more 9mm than my favorite ammo store sells 10mm. Tons of people talk that cartridge, they certainly aren't shooting it. I asked the ammo store about it as I've never seen anyone shooting it on the range. Not once in decades.
He who dies with the most toys...still dies.

I miss those halcyon days after the USSR collapsed when all of those milsurp guns could be had for a C-note or a little more
When I was in my early teens you could get mosins by the crate for less than $50 per rifle.
GOT SKS 1 CHRISTMAS FOR 40 BUCKS COMPLETE KIT AND 200 RD EAST GERMAN MIL SURP AMMO.... BOUGHT A "REMINGTOM" MOSIN FOR 50 BUCKS, A SAVAGE ENFIELD SMLE FOR 90, A 380 VERSION OF MAKAROV FOR 109( NEW UNISSUED)
That's why you need to look at classic firearms right now
If you had bought $100 worth of Microsoft stock the day the Soviet Union was dissolved, it would be worth more than $10,000 now. You'd have had a hard time getting returns like that from anything in the gun world, except registering transferable machineguns in 1986.
When Walmart was selling SKS for $100.00 and 20 round boxes of ammo for it was $1.99. I just dug up some $2.99 AK ammo, sure miss those days.
I was fortunate to be able to buy a helmet and nods recently....spent $4k on everything just to go to my first night shoot to be indirectly called a poor and a noob. Never be that person.

@pete mitchell I get it. Fanboys of any gun really make it difficult for anyone else to like it. I'm a Glock guy, not a Glock fanboy. There is a difference. I'm a fan of striker-fire and simplicity. Glock has those two features for a very reasonable price. I've had my Gen 3 G21 for 15 years and have had ONE malfunction, that was fixed by cleaning it. Most pistols on the market now can make a similar claim.

Tribal folk in Afghanistan are doing just fine with their beat-to-shit, “outdated” weaponry against a far more well equipped enemy. Just saying. “Run what you brung” is the best advice.
yeah, but as civilians in america, we can choose what guns we buy. we don't have to buy a .22 pistol and say "this is all i have"
This is a bit lengthy, but bare with me; this isn't bashing anyone or any product. Just a real life scenario.
Back in 2012 when I was stationed at Bolling AFB I was chatting with a naval researcher at the navy research lab (it's attached to the base in dc) we were talking guns and I told him I had an Enfield, that peaked his interest because he then told me this. Apparently that spring there was a platoon of marines that were pinned down by a half dozen insurgents armed with No 4 Mk1 Enfield rifles. The insurgents had the marines pinned down over 600 meters away volleying in .303 rounds on their position using iron sights. the marines tried returning fire but the 5.56 is really only good out to 400 meters so they were limited in what they could do, especially when the enemy had the high ground; which they did. The only way the marines made it out was due to an attack helicopter that came into save them blew up the bad guys. The researcher telling me that the military at that time was trying to figure ways to counter the enemy armed with these rifles and find a different angle on tactics when we encountered situations like this on the battlefield today when CAS may not be an option; eh sorta today now that quite some time has passed. I guess the take way from this is that, sometimes the old stuff isn't always that bad.
what do you mean by "doing just fine"? because A LOT of afghanis died using the piece of shit weapons they used.
you retard-tier comment is like saying "hurr well the taliban just strapped a cannon onto a toyota pickup, why does America even bother with Abrams and Bradleys"
@@crystalrock18 That is exactly how afghans have been defending their homeland from invaders for over 500 years. They were always outnumbered and under equipped, but be it with a bow or a bolt action they had the high ground and the lay of the land.
Just fine? Not quite. But you are right.
I don't buy a weapon by brand name,I look at quality of manufacturing over the name.
lot of words to just say "I buy Glock"

Over the years I have heard that many times.
I doubt the bad guy that you use your firearm on is going to care what brand it is. "Ouch, how dare you shoot me with an Altor!"

Imagine being the bad guy that loses a gunfight to a guy with a hi-point???

A good man with an average gun is better than an average man with a good gun.
I see this a lot, not only with guns but also with flashlights, reloading equipment and other gear. It's time for some people in our community to realize that we need to be in lock step with everything firearms related because they're coming after the $2k Benelli shotgun as well as the $300 Maverick-88.
The only time you should tell someone that their gun sucks, is when they themselves are saying that their gun sucks, and furthermore they are saying that because their gun legitimately has issues that makes it suck. Like it's got mad hang-up issues or something.
And EVEN THEN, make sure they say it first.

This is a reason I really like y'all's channel your not flashing this or that and bragging and you both come from humble beginning Chad and Eric always got my respect
I live in central Florida where it rains very often obviously. I run a 20 year old German military raincoat and it's still keeping me dry as bone. A gun that runs dependably is a good one. Training is the key. Train, train, train....then train somemore.
I'm 70years old and my Dad was a WWII VETERAN (I'M PROUD OF HIM--RIP) because of that I became very interested in ALL GUNS. I got to shoot a German Luger and P38 when I was 12 because of my older brother is the reason for that to happen. I enjoy TARGET shooting so I can keep close tabs on my eye sight because I'm blind in my left eye since birth. I have a few reasonably nice weapons that I allow other people shoot to give people a chance to shoot something that they may like to try out. I do that particularly because not all weapons are available to be rented at indoor ranges because I had situations where someone did that for me when I was younger and still fairly NEW to the SHOOTING DISCIPLINE. The main pistol that most people like to try is my German Luger and old Colt 3-5-7 (Pre-Python). It's not always a situation where it is something expensive but actually hard to FIND. My stuff are NOT COLLECTOR GRADE so they are not THAT EXPENSIVE but hard to GET, they only made 15,000 of my Colt 3-5-7 and it is a 6" one which is a small part of that 15,000 because it was ment for Troopers. My is descent condition finish wise but MECHANICALLY GREAT (@25' one hole with 38 Special CCI Blazer Brass 125gr FMJ). It's a SHOOTER not a BEAUTY QUEEN which is what I PREFER.

As a customer of PSA and a stribog owner I feel this. Like bruh, chill. Does it shoot consistently? Does it hit the target consistently? Then shut up.
Man I love my PSA. Spent under $600 on it and it just runs. I don’t shoot 10,000 rds a year. I’m a weekend warrior and the PSA is perfect.
Had a dude try to convince me it was going to fall apart after 100 rds. Yea it gets that much every weekend(used to before $1 a round)

Ever have a gun you wanted more than ANYTHING, until you held it and shot it?
No but there was a guitar like that for me. Ernie-Ball MusicMan, Jon Petrucci's signature model. I love him and his music so I wanted that guitar....
It felt like a plastic toy when I held and played one.

I thank you for making this video. So many gun owners and even in the gun/training/LE/tactical industry could use a large dose of humility. Well done.
You can earn a lot of respect by learning and shooting your firearm well enough to ask a simple question. What can you do with your $2,500 gun that I can't do with my $300.00, $400.00, $500.00 gun? Lol, as a matter of fact, some of them will stop speaking to you.
I listen to other gun podcasts but this one is clearly the best. Keep it up guys.
I love my inexpensive guns. They run well and we hit the target everytime.

No they don’t 😂

@@frankieolivier9039 hmmmm. Well sometimes you can find really good used glocks and such that are in good condition. I try to shy away from ruger and Taurus cause ive had issues that have left a garbage tast in my mouth. But I would say look used. If you're really looking new you can find 43x's for 450 bucks if you can save a lil more.
As long as the gun works its a good gun.
This happens with in-brand people. I'm a CZ guy and I've seen multiple times a new gun buyer on a certain FB page showing not just their first CZ, but their first gun purchase, usually a P10C or F, and promptly slammed for not getting a steel framed 75 and their purchase isn't a, "real" CZ. Nice way to welcome someone into the gun community.
All use of every firearm teaches fundamentals. Every firearm requires you to know the ins and outs of said firearm. It’s not about what you brought. It’s about using (practice, training) what you have! “Run what ya brung” I never heard that before. I love it, thanks guys. Keep up what you do. Also, thanks for the advise to attend SDI. I just started this month, I love it. Stay safe boys! Keep training.

You guys should do a video on “Top 5 Guns That Would Make Perfect Melee Weapons” I.e. HiPoint due to its heavy weight works as a club lol. Just saying.
#1 Mosin Nagant with a bayonet, gives you a 6 foot reach. #2 Sks with folding bayonet
Hi point being made of pot metal makes it a bad melee weapon the slides break easy.
If we're being real that would just become "top five guns with bayonets" lol
"Top 5 Guns That Would Make Perfect Melee Weapons"? That title isn't even well thought out. No gun makes a "perfect" melee weapon. Hell, most melee weapons don't make perfect melee weapons. There's so many factors. A Hi-Point is not going to make the top 5 melee weapons for a gun much less for any reason. It's made of a brittle zink alloy. It would make a better boat anchor than a melee weapon and a boat anchor would make a better melee weapon than a Hi-Point. Or were you just making a joke?
Your not wrong but not sure your right either... lol
I remember that Gun Gripe Episode Use What You’ve Got. It’s one my favorite gun gripe episodes produced. It’s a good thing you guys expanded this topic from that Gun Gripe Episode.
You guys are hitting it on the head. Years ago I use to read Peterson’s 4wd and Off-road magazines, and it use to show some cheap and easy mods for 4wd, but then it started to switch over to more and more newer, better, faster, and higher sales for manufacturers. I know there is certainly new products that are improving all the time, but most of the best ones, in my opinion, seem to be the work horses that are built to last, not the fanciest, or most expensive, but reliable. Years ago they deployed the FP-45 Liberator pistol for use in the resistance forces overseas. Very basic simple firearm, single shot, reloaded manually, but it allowed them to get a better firearm from the enemy. My biggest thrill when I was young was a single shot 22 caliber revolver. Use what you have and get very proficient at it! Thanks for your great shows!
The 40 S&W was the newest, greatest caliber ever when I bought it. Three years later, it was hated. I don't buy any firearm until it's been out for 5 years. Better price and updated generations too.
40 S&W is a damn good caliber. I prefer 9mm but not because it's more effective, it's not.

I've had people look down their noses at my Ruger SR9. I have made one change to an after market trigger bar, but otherwise it's stock. I shoot just as well as others with much more expensive guns. There's an old saying, "beware the man with only one gun, he probably knows how to use it."
Keep up all the gun gripes! They contain some of the most informative and useful information about 2a material and give outsiders an inside look about gun ownership. This is how we turn the tides on the left shift the culture!
Shout out from South Africa!

I always buy stock guns and build them up myself. I get to pick my parts and its more fun. It may take a while but I have a functional firearm throughout the entire process. Dont forget, a lot of this stuff comes down to personal preferences. Lots of aftermarket parts do the exact same thing at different prices and appearances.
Everyone laughs at a Hi Point or "poverty pony" until one is pointed at you.
and then you continue laughing when the gun doesn't go off when they pull the trigger.
its ALMOST as if guns cost different prices for a reason.

The only time I said " your gun sucks" was when a guy at the range was trying to explain to me his ras47 is better than Bulgarians
Well the guy at the range was correct. Your Bulgarian sucks in comparison. His RAS47 has the ability to take down two people simultaneously, the threat and the user.

Yeah poors . When it’s the rich guy at a training class or at the range with all his expensive tacticool crap and said rich guy can’t hit shit . And that poor guy that can only afford a cheap gun and a limited amount of ammunition to burn . But can hit . Who’s really poor in this situation. Buying an expensive flashy gun doesn’t make you a better shot. It just let’s you think you are . Yours truly a poor !
Of all I have the S&W SD9VE is my favorite to shoot. Easy to handle. Easy to load. Accurate and just fun to take to the range. This handgun has never faltered and I think it looks good. I will not give up my 1911 but the SD is my carry choice. K4BFR clear.
Your Fender hat reminded me of a buddy who could make ANY guitar sound good and couldn't afford high end equipment. This theme of "run what you brung" rings true for a lot of areas of interest.

Our retired training instructor works with our FFL. FFL is also a retired cop. Several years ago the instructor told me I needed a SU 16. Our FFL sold like 70 of them & then they ran out. I waited a year & never got one so I just said fuck it do you have Minis in stock. LOVE the Mini. Now the SU16 is under $500 and yet Nutnfancy says it's the firearm most likely used to defend his home & he wished he had the ability to put it in his survival bag when he was flying for the Air Force. Our own training instructor said that he went to his house in Virginia & shot EVERY bullet & case type (including steel out of his DU16. Now onto my Mini a Mini s sub $900 YET it is unbelievably accurate & durable. So you do NOT need a $2000 rifle.
I've been fortunate to own a couple high end 1911s and some 500 to 700 dollar ones. If you are flat ranging down a lane indoors to shoot Xs or bullseyes there is no doubt the fancy gun will likely come out on top and the feel of the quality is obvious. Go run a tactical course with one of each and I bet most even above average shooter's would have virtually the same results from both guns.
