- Wheelgun or Semiauto? Single or double action? Bodyguard or Centennial? Hi Power or 1911? Hammer or striker fired? Smith or Colt? Ford or Chevy? Betty or Veronica? While it's obviously ideal to have the best of both worlds, Mas has shot a little of everything, and has some clear standout favorites, both on the range and in everyday carry situations. In this episode, Massad discusses with Ken why he prefers certain guns and configurations over others.

I'll be 70 yrs old tomorrow 6/4/2021 and I've shot weapons for 65 of those years. I never get tired of listening to these two men talk.
Happy Birthday! Of course you are correct.

Massad's all-time favorite guns!? Yeah, I got time.
Right? Anytime he has something to say I'm all in lol
I own darn near every book Mas has ever written. Especially the 2 volumes of "Greatest Handguns of The World". I even ordered the pdf collection of all his "Ayoob Files" articles for American Handgunner magazine. It is amazing how seriously over the top critique of his first impression of GLOCK was received. He was damned near crucified for an honest opinion. It took him about a year to dig himself out of the hole the book critics dug for him.
How do you choose? I’m sure it’s the same for him.
Damn straight brother!!
Mr Ayoob speaks, the wise listen.
Massad is so important to keeping officers alive he should be on the Mt Rushmore of gun history and officer safety. I respect every book he wrote I have read. The man is a living legend in my mind.
Agreed! Alive and out of jail! The man is a god send!
I took an authorized Stress Fire two-day class TWICE, a year apart: I learned just as much the second time too! I learned responsibility as well as confidence...........................elsullo
That New York City trigger he recommended made it almost impossible for the NYPD to shoot accurately. The Empire State Building shoot out fiasco was a direct result of his recommendation. Pass.

How refreshing it is to watch a gun discussion that goes beyond caliber wars and "Glock vs. 1911..."
More knowledge in 20 minutes than most "gun" channels in 20 hours. Thank you, Ken and Mas!
What?.... There are handguns other than a glock or 1911?
Very well said
@@snowflakecuntreeman3947 Glock isn't real, it's just an evil figment of our imagination (I have only ever touched a 1911)
In 20 minutes, these two share more valuable handgun knowledge than most GunTubers provide in a year.
Tim from MAC & MrGuns&Gear are good firearms CZcamsrs to.
Probably because these two have forgotten more than half of GunTubers know collectively.
Absolutely brother

Ok bud, sure.
Massad Ayoob brings decades of experience in the field and the courtroom. I would take his advice over any of the tacticool mall ninjas on CZcams.
How could anyone wanting to learn more about pistols and revolvers "not enjoy" this? ! Two of the most knowledgeable men on the planet on this topic!
I am not a revolver guy, but I found this to be interesting and learned a couple of things to.
I agree
I miss Jeff Cooper and Elmer Keith...they were on the same level as these veteran shooters.
Both these men are national treasures. Love to see it.
Massad is icon! coolest lad around
I was trying to find the right words to describe these two gentlemen and the wealth of knowledge that they share. You just summed it up perfectly.
Indeed
"The weapon is not the gun, it's the guy behind the trigger" KH.
As John Wayne once said, " Its not the arrow, it's the Indian ".
It is a great quote!
ATF classifies guy behind trigger as a machine gun…
I'll probably watch this several times.
There is more reliable, experienced based, real world handgun information in this and all of the Gun Guys videos than from any other single source. Being FREE is a real bonus. Thank y'all.
Paul Harrel, look em up. ex-army, highly awarded.. extremely informative.
Two absolute ICONS of the industry, they have both done so much for today’s gun carriers it’s incredible. I would not want to even think about about where we would be without their mentor ship, wisdom, and teachings. Whether it’s helping the law abiding self defense shooter in the court room or the gunfighter on the training range these 2 gentlemen have left their mark that will remain for generations to come.
Thank you both.
Rick
Took Massad's week long LFI course 25 years ago, and two other classes on legal aspects a decade or so later. Fantastic writer and a shooter who can walk the walk.
How long before your writer's cramp went away from all the note taking?
@@doughesson 😂
Love the phrase "the weapon is not the gun it's the guy behind the trigger". Reminds me of what my hunter safety teacher said when I was ten years old, that stuck with me ever since: "It's not the gun, it's the nut behind the bolt."
The best thing I ever did for my shooting with Berettas was to put a bunch of rounds through a J-frame at distance. Now the DA stroke on a 92 is no big deal.
Thank you for making that connection.
Yep. I carried a SIG DA/SA for years. All it takes to be proficient with one is practice.
Revolvers will always be relevant to certain applications. My personal favorite is the Ruger GP 100 with 4" barrel
I credit Mr. Ayoob with my choice in firearms over the years.
While my dad may have started the interest, it was reading and listening to Mr. Ayoob that I learned the respect and appreciation for firearms that I hold today. My brother went the way of the Beretta, and I went with Glock. To this day the Glock 19 and 26 are my favorites, while the Sig P226 and S&W Model 60 are my favorite DA/SA offerings.
When someone asks me a question about a particular firearm, or mindset to carry a firearm; I point them to my bookshelf with the Massad Ayoob collection. His written works assisted me in being a juror on several cases, and has been forefront in my attitude to carrying guns. Similarly there are instances I chose NOT to have a gun around, and to that I credit Mr. Ayoob as well.
Ken Hackathorn on the flipside has taught me so much in his videos and demos on handling, maintenance, and safety.
I don't believe in mandatory training requirements, but if it had to be done these men are the ones who should be doing it.
Much respect and appreciation to their collective wisdom and teaching. 🔥
Well stated. I agree.
I too have most of the guns Mas prefers. Merely by chance, but I guess I have great taste amd good fortune!
Here's the list I compiled from the video...
S&W 686 & Model 64
Ruger GP100 (all 4")
S&W Model 27 6"
Colt Python 4" (old Python)
1911 (of course)
Browning Hi-Power
Glock 30
Beretta 92
The only ones I lack are the B92, the S&W 27 and 64, I have a Python but it's a 2020 model in 4.25" barrel. I do want a Beretta but I'll likely not get another Smiff Revolver unless it's a screaming deal. Which happens on occasion...
@@RGRundeRGRound Nice. I can see that you've cultured resistance to collect more pew pews. SAFE and a Velly Goot 2022 New Year brudder.
The Clock 30 is highly underrated. I've had one for nearly 20 years and it always performs. Rivals my 1911s for accuracy.
Only need to add Clint Smith and Larry Vickers to complete the band!
Throw in some Jerry Miculek and Greg Kinman. Now you have the perfect 6 pack 6 gunners🇺🇸
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of Smith guys putting python barrels on their frames. Wow
They called the barrel conv guns "Smolts" or "smythons". They also used to put smith revolver rear sights on 1911s before adjustable sights were common
Same here. Never heard that
They did it for competition, the barrel on the colt had a different twist rate.
@@allenhuebner6251 the python barrels also had a tapered bore, they even mentioned that in the video
This man is a legend. Next interview...Get him and Jerry Micelek around a fire with a few scotches ;)
I feel old getting the Betty /Veronica comparison. Good stuff Wilson!
Don't forget Ginger / Maryann! Nothing like having two hot women as a captive audience!
@@d.e.b.b5788 You know you're getting older when Mrs Howell starts looking better than Ginger & Mary Ann.
The comment about Betty/Veronica is about Riverdale which is on tv right now. In the comics, Archie never had either girls. Not so on this new version. And I"ll leave it at that.
@@shooterqqqq I remember a shipmate having a copy of Archie where he was going around town greeting the girls who were all bent over & all you could see were shapely female posteriors.
That's when I figured that the Archie's weren't really a kids comic series.
I remember back in college going to the store and looking through the gun magazines for the ones that had an articles by Massad Ayoob and those are the one's I would buy. Really liked his writing and had his books on Stressfire and In the Gravest Extreme and now Deadly Force.
Some You Tube "gunners" 👨🏻💻 trash Ayoob but I agree with about 90% of his articles, content. I'm 50 & a US Army veteran 🎗. Ayoob along with gunsmith Andy Canon had the cool L frame Canon-Ayoob .357magnum.
His legal advice is best in the business.
I don't really care about boutique fancy 5 shot 38s but that's just like,
My opinion man.
I have to say the CZ-75 family and clones are my favorite.
Fragile, but very nice to shoot. The decocker models break springs way too frequently.
@@hansblitz7770 They got grip feel that's pretty much nearly the same as hi-powers. In an uncouth way, they feel like grabbing your own bits. Just that intuitive.
I'm a Sig shooter but I love CZ's only slightly less than Sigs.
The cz-75 is nice but it's no glock
@Common Sense Realist good thing I'm not buying a glock to impress but rather to protect my life.
If you have a BMW, with a mean ass pitbull and a pimped out gun to make you look fancy or mean then good for you, we all need something to make us feel good about ourselves, me I'm a simpleton and like the simplistic reliability of a glock, i don't need more.
Maybe oneday if finances allow it i will buy some or other good looking fancy gun to shoot at the range but a glock will always be the one i carry to defend my life.
Another great video. Always appreciate the wisdom of Mr Ayoob. It’s even cooler his name is Booya backwards. 👏👏👏
A 20 minute video, about Massad Ayoob’s favorite pistols. Which, as usual, contains 15 minutes of Hackathorn talking over him.
If you have the money and like revolvers, I've heard great things about the Manurhin MR73, which is now again being imported.
Unbelievable revolver. . if ya got $4k+
I shoot revolvers and semiautomatics. I guess this will label me as an early dinosaur but my favorites to shoot are a pair of Ruger 357 magnum Blackhawks. One is a three screw model and the other is a modern version. Very accurate guns, wonderful triggers, and I have never felt underpowered with this pair. Fun for plinking and comfortable for home defense.
Just got the kimber k6s 4", I love it
My first duty gun in the eighties was a Smith and Wesson Model 15 combat masterpiece. Great gun.
As always the wisdom here is priceless! Blessings to both of you.
I inherited my father's Model 39-2 that he bought from a Montana Sheriff's estate. I am still amazed at how well that pistol shoots, eats anything I feed it, and feels in my hand. Thanks guys! Great video from one dinosaur to another!
What an amazing amount of knowledge sitting right there. Great to listen and be the fly on the wall.
Well you listened in the comfort of your residence and didn't have to turn yourself into a fly on the wall. Now don't you feel better.
Man, I can just watch these videos for hours. Just the knowledge gained from watching is amazing. Please, do more of these videos! We love 'em!
Getting to watch these 2 talk guns is priceless. Thank you so much for this.
Love this discussion, and Ayoob’s encyclopedic knowledge.
Ayoob has decades of gun knowledge; legal issues, police, ccw, match shooting, hunting.
Thanks to both of you for your insights - it's a real privilege to hear from you !
Two of the greatest that I have ever seen that are still with us!
The secret to the PPK is to shoot it in .32acp. All of those complaints go out the window and it’s a very comfortable and accurate gun to shoot.
Another secret to avoid PPK slide-bite is a SNUG simple slip-on rubber grip sleeve with one or two finger grooves. This gives much leverage during firing to keep the frame tang from tipping down...........................elsullo
these 2 guys are a wealth of knowledge!! i could sit & listen to them for hours!! thank you both for everything you have done/shared with everyone over the years & may you keep doing so for many many years to come!!!
What a joy to listen to these guys. Really appreciate their experiences and willingness to share and help others. Well done.
I started to read their work in the 80s and 90s. Damn I feel old.
It doesn’t get any better than this. Two Master sharing their wisdom. These guys are top of the class amazing. Thanks
I absolutely love watching these videos with you two legends. I grew up from the 1980s on (age 55) reading and watching you two (and others) and it’s so nice to get these candid “inside baseball” moments with you. Please continue with these videos. Thanks.
You men are awesome instructors and Mr.Ayoob your revolver reload video from like 8 or 10 years ago still helps this southpaw learn the revolver reload thank you.
I swear I could listen to this knowledge all day. Two of the most knowledgeable men on earth who actually know what they are talking about.
I picked up a Glock 30S under blue label a few years back and it’s been a joy to shoot. It’s cool to hear Mass favors it for a variety of purposes. It shoots much better than you would think for such a heavy round.
Incredible. Gentlemen, thank you for sharing... thank you for caring. After watching this video I've come to a realization... we need more people like these two men. Sincerely, thank you both, very much.
These talks are priceless. I cannot express how grateful I am for the wisdom you are sharing. Thank you gentlemen.
Many of the things I've implemented in my firearms training came from Mas Ayoob over two decades ago and most still stand firm in the firearms community today. A plethora of knowledge from these two. Great video.
The S&W 39 was way ahead of its time and the first to the market with everything we love today. DA-SA, de-cocker-safety, magazine disconnect, adjustable sights, light alloy frame, heavy checkering on the wood grips Always loved the 1911 but I finally added a few 39's/59's to the safe (a couple too beautiful to shoot but yeah, they got shot). If S&W did a 10mm in the Model-39 format I'd own one. Anyone else still loving that old 70's design?
Try 1955 design
I learned to shoot on 1911's. My first ever gun book was Cooper on Handguns and as many people know, he would gripe all the time about the transition between double and single action trigger on DA autos. When I became a cop, we were issued HK USP .40 cal autos. We had to carry the pistol with the safety off and the hammer down. I used fired perfect scores with the pistol with no issues. Anyone that knows the basics of proper pistol shooting will not have a problem with any pistol they fire as long as they take the time to get to know the pistol.
Browning Hi Power MkIII is still an excellent pistol, and I have shot them so often for so long I don't even use the sights anymore. The P35 has been like an extension of my hand the dispenses bullets right on target.
The Hi Power also has a magazine safety. and it's a 5 minute job to enable or disable it.
Tons of knowledge, experience, and wisdom on this channel. No ego.
I only wish other CZcams so-called experts who just make stuff up would watch this! If they had ANY shame they would withdraw..........................elsullo
The revolver saved me three times over the course of my 30 years & my EDC in retirement is the 340PD, or LCP, depending on circumstances.
People can say what they want about revolvers, I guarantee you this though - none of those bad mouthing them would volunteer to stand at the business end of a loaded one.
I wouldn't stand at the loaded end of a .25acp Lorcin either.
@@kuuryotwo5153 Pretty sure nobody with enough brain cells would want to be on the business end of anything from a .22 up to a 12 gauge.
Every firearm has their uses, so long as the person holding it understands the pros and cons of what they’re using and also understand their own skill level with that firearm, that’s really all that should matter, instead of people badmouthing each other’s choice of self defense weapon.
Frankly I consider the folks badmouthing revolvers to be no different than the folks that think they can shrug off a “mediocre” .380 or 9mm round before plugging the other guy with their “man stopping” round of choice.
@@kuuryotwo5153 Dumb reply and those answering our dumber. A prudent man would not stand for any such nonsense!
Regarding both choices of EDC weapons, each are lacking. The .357 is a fine round but not in that gun, the LCP is just plain lacking in every respect.
What a honor and pleasure to sit and listen to two greats of the gun world discussing handguns...
Thank you Gentlemen
I could listen to these two tell stories for hours. An excellent video with some unparalleled insights, and the skills that can be gleaned from shooting a double action revolver shouldn't be understated!
I was late to the game reading Massad Ayoob's articles, which I "only" found in the late 1980s. He is a national treasure!
Thanks
Enjoyed the video. It is interesting hearing wisdom on the technical and mechanical aspects of firearms and how people had to troubleshoot them back in the day as well as modern features that fix or improve those issues. Grateful to live in America where we have innovation constantly improving for firearms.
Glad Mas is still sharing knowledge. Did LFI 1 in '93 and had some personal experience with him. Did the course with an H&K USP in .40 S&W.
Forgive me for a inane comment , when this video started I thought"holy cow , Massad could give Sam Elliott a run in the deep voice department"
What a GREAT and thoroughly enjoyable presentation; I thank you gentlemen (and Bill Wilson) for making these great insights - so decently and harmoniously presented - available.
I’ll be 75 this month, I was raised on K and N Frames, as well as 1911-A1s, and I found SO much with which I agreed in this video. Now, to be clear, my expertise and abilities are non-existent in comparison to these superb professionals, however, I was impressed with their opinions re revolvers and traditional DA/SA autoloaders. I happen to favor the CZ 75-B, but I own and admire the Sig P22X series and the H&K USPs. I’d never before thought of the advantage of a manual safety - like a manual transmission for carjackings - but it makes a great deal of sense.
So, manny thanks!
Two of my favorite gun writers ever....Thank you Guy's
Great video! Massad Ayoob probably taught me more than anyone , and helped keep me alive when i was a LEO? What a wealth of knowledge , what a legend!I was there at the time LEO’s went from wheelguns to semiautos ?
This is important history.
Robert Maxwell buying McGraw hill publishing in 94 is important. Watching child molesters talk about guns is not
Great show and great folks here. See you soon in MI, Mas.
Thank you gentlemen for letting me sit in on an excellent conversation. Thank you Bill Wilson for all you do for the shooting sports.
SMH. You both knock it out of the park every time you get together. And that is not to slight Bill Wilson when he is with you, but the way can facilitates and Massad runs with it, it's just amazing. Thank you so much.
Two legends here.
Such great content and knowledge from you both. I enjoy every word and hold your information close to my heart and mind. Thank you for passing on your experiences over the years...... Great Value !
The knowledge between you two is colossal; thank you kindly for such good information, was a kid trying to put this stuff together w/ neighbors old 'Handloaders' Mags.. Love the what works, and what is ...well problematic!
My every day carry is my S&W 38 special ultralite revolver with the red dot. Fits my hand perfectly. Very comfortable gun for a female. I always recommend this to my female friends who want to get a gun for the 1st time.
@Common Sense Realist 🥰 it's awesome
Awesome talk! Good to hear GP100 mentioned, that was my first handgun. Lol@“Smolt”
In 2006 I purchased a new, unused Ruger GPNY .38spl revolver. Ruger made it for the NYPD 👮🏻♂️ in 1991 but the firearm was never delivered. The union & NYPD went to new Glock, S&W 9mm sidearms. The GP 6 shot had a spurless DA only design. The robust GPNY rode in a Bianchi UM84R or black Blade tech left hand holster.
very amusing to me, I wrote+directed a mockumentary in film school (15 years ago) called "SMOLT" - it was a brand of cigarettes (that I made up)
Mine too. Built like a tank!
4 inch SP 101 in .357 is my off duty carry.
In 1993,as I changed from full time to part time security,my boss told me that I was now eligible to get my Tennessee armed guard certification.With my last full time guard paycheck($350.00),I bought a 4" stainless Ruger GP 100 with adjustable sights just because I liked the way that they looked.The only mod it had was a set of Uncle Mike's grips to fill in under the trigger guard so it wouldn't beat up my middle finger.
In the state run training,I was told that I was the first revolver guy they'd seen in months,that most people were bringing autoloaders.
That gun was stolen in 1997,as was its replacement in 2005.I want them both back.
GREAT video! I've been following both of you for decades, so I suppose I'm a bit biased. After reading Mas' review of the Colt Stainless Commander in a late '80s edition of "Combat Handguns", I bought one as my first firearm purchase, and it absolutely lived up to the review!!
One benefit of the hammer of the Bodyguard compared to the Centennial is the ability to check the cylinder for rotation without having to pull the trigger--this was a top reason for swapping a Centennial for a Bodyguard!
I find all videos featuring Massad Ayoob and Ken Hackathorn to be very informative and very interesting. I always come away with far more knowledge than I went into their videos with. Their purpose is to make you a better informed firearm owner as well as a better shooter. Keep up the good work men.
Huh. Guess my fiancée will have to wait a further twenty minutes before dinner will be ready.
Lol
now if say you had both Betty AND Veronica - - -
We love you guys.
I'm amazed at how much I learn listening to these conversations. Well worth my time.
Thank you both for this video. You two are the best of the best.
Thanks for the interesting chat.
Wow, Mas Ayoob vs. Janet Reno. Nice. But....where's the love for the Colt snubby?
Love my Colt Cobra 1968 first issue model.
@@tinman8518 Nice. I have a '66. Great guns.
What a treat to listen to 2 TRUE experts. I'm an Illinois resident & bought my S&W Mod 39 in the early 70's because of the successful use by IL State Police as Mr. Ayoob related. Though I now own several "more modern" pistols, that old Mod 39 remains a favorite.
I bought an old Sig P239 and did the fire-decock multiple times, and my hand got stronger. Some of the best training I ever did, and now I hear Massad recommending it.
My EDC is a revolver. Ruger gp100 7 shot 357 magnum. I'll take 7 rounds of 357 over 14 rounds of 9mm any old day of the week
If u can shoot any at all both will work just fine
Great video, great legends.
What I enjoyed about this video is that every answer is a story. Reminds me of conversations growing up with my grandfather.
Two of the greatest trainers and gun writers of all time! Awesome to see Mas and Ken still in it for 40+ years! Think about that. These two helped revolutionize training from revolver to auto in police and civilian circles. Their wisdom will keep you alive in a lethal encounter. For my entire police career I've carried a j-frame on my ankle because of Mas. Stressfire. "Way of the weasel!" You don't have to fight fair...just win!
Love listening to these two talk-the-talk, because they've walked-the-walk... >~< Still use and carry my Smith K38 Combat Master-Piece with 158 SWCHP +P... ^~^
I carry a Kahr P45, but I use a S&W 659 that I converted to DAO for range work. This conversation tells me it was a good investment of time and money.
I too value the Kahr DAO most of all! That utterly safe, never cocked until full trigger pull, which is smooth like BUTTER. I had the original K9 all steel and soft rubber grip model---wonderful gun!...........................elsullo
Just super. I never tire of you guys and your talks. I keep re-watching too so I make sure I get it all. Thanks!!
Every time these gentlemen speak, I listen. I always learn something when watching this channel.
I still carry a revolver - double action Smith..
The greatest advantage of a revolver is it seconds as a club.
They go better with spurs as well.
Words of pure gold! They harken to the days of fine double action revolvers, the led up to the many fine carry pistols.
I do long for the easy ability of the
revolver to be " personalized" with custom grips, polished internals, and
double action work that is so endearing, plus the wide range of ammunition that revolvers can manage!
Love my 1911s u guys always have good conversation and tips for gun maintenance and just good talks about the gun world
Made it early to this one! Love the videos with Mas
Man, is Massad immortal? I remember reading his stuff when I was a kid in the mid-1970s. To me, he seemed old then...lol.
And here he is still carrying a fullsize pistol, a Beretta 92 no less.
Even more amazing, he was significantly more bald then as well.
@@loomspace lol
Amazing stuff. Such a privilege to see these two giants speak their minds.
It is always enjoyable and informational to listen to these two gentlemen discuss weapons.
The Firearms should be on the table.
