Specifically, you need weapons that can assure your safety and protection.

Before we start, make sure that you hit the like and subscribe buttons. It helps the channel
a lot. Now, let's get back to the video! CZ-75
Let's start this video with the CZ-75. I know several gun owners that see this handgun as one
of the best pistols ever manufactured. I quite understand their sentiment, though. After all,
it has been in the market for quite some time and still provides value for its users.
It follows an all-metal construction, with a single-action / double-action mechanism. It is
a semi-automatic handgun that offers a plethora of variants and models.
You have no limits when it comes to your options. With its extensive aftermarket,
you can also get lots of accessories and magazines for it.
The popularity of the CZ-75 is something that we can't whittle down,
as well. It has sold more than a million units to civilians, professionals,
and military personnel alike. If you are in Europe, the CZ-75 is considered the most
popular handgun. Right now, it is also gaining traction in the United States.
Interestingly, the CZ model is available in .40 S&2 and 9MM. You can also get a .45 ACP version,
such as the CZ-97. Moreover, there are polymer-framed models that you can already get
today. They are lightweight, which makes them preferable for other preppers.
Other gun manufacturers, such as Tanfoglio, have versions of the C7, as well.
The quality of the CZ-75 is undeniably good. It has superb stopping power and reliable
levels of accuracy and durability. If there are complaints about it,
then there's a good chance that it is about preference problems. For instance,
its slide is smaller than other handguns. Hence, racking is not that convenient.
Still, the CZ-75 is a beast. And in tough situations, you can definitely rely on
this firearm. BERETTA 92
The Beretta 92 is probably the biggest handgun in this video. Furthermore,
it is a pistol that is surrounded by controversy, all thanks to its slide-mounted external safety
and open-slide architecture. Some like this setup; others simply can't take it.
However, the Beretta 92 has undeniable tested-and-tried reliability. It has
been in the market for several decades already.
In fact, it has been used as the official sidearm of the U.S. military since 1985.
It has been brought in different fields in the Middle East, such as in Afghanistan and Iraq.
While it is true that many armed personnel and military said that they don't like the gun
because of its 9mm chambering, nobody could complain about its reliability. Moreover,
there is the Beretta 96, too, which is offered in .40 caliber.
For survival purposes, the all-steel construction of the Beretta 92 or 96 is
definitely something you should seriously consider. Beretta 92, for instance,
features an open slide design that drastically lowers its chances of having a stovepipe
jam. Also, this gun has a lot of accessories and magazines that you can find in the aftermarket.
One great feature of the Beretta 92 is its fixed-barrel construction.
Because of this design, the gun offers an all-natural accuracy and target acquisition.
Combined with its all-steel body that decreases its recoil, making quick,
follow-up shots are possible. And while you are doing so, its accuracy doesn't deteriorate at all.
It has unquestionable firepower, so dealing with large targets and threats is something that you
shouldn't worry about. It has a nice trigger pull and a grip that would never disappoint.
RUGER MARK 4 I am quite certain that many of you would not
consider a rimfire weapon in this list. After all, there are more burly and powerful options, right?
You see, preppers see rimfire weapons as the holy grail of survival handguns.
If you are a survivalist, having this one in your arsenal is quite
essential. They are lightweight and easy to control. Their ammo often comes affordable,
too. Hence, hoarding them won't cause an issue in your budget.
For example, 500 rounds of 22 LR are just priced at 25 bucks or so. Furthermore,
they can easily fit cargo storage. Overall, the stopping power of these rimfire guns
isn't that ground-breaking. But they are enough to deal with small pests
and targets. If you don't want to waste more precious ammo, you need to have this weapon.
The Ruger Mark 4 is the epitome of a rimfire weapon. Specifically,
this gun is one of the latest 22 LR pistols of Ruger.
It is an accurate gun that offers a plethora of configurations and setups.
It is lightweight and compact but has decent durability that can survive harsh environments.
Among the Mark Series, the Mark 4 is considered the most user-friendly,
especially in the aspect of disassembly. Hence, if you want to repair or upgrade its parts,
you'll not encounter any problems.
Because the Mark Series has been in the market for quite some time,
magazines and spare parts for its guns have become common already.
Essentially, the Mark 4 is a great gun if your intention is to have a reliable
firearm for hunting wildlife for food. If you want to hunt rabbits or squirrels,
this handgun should be more than enough. It is not for bigger threats,
but this gun prevents you from using the important ammo.
However, this doesn't mean that it can't topple large targets once the situation calls for it.
After all, a handgun is still a handgun! M1911A1
One of the most enduring handguns in the market today is the M1911.
This one is designed by the legendary John Browning himself during the 1920S,
so there's a guarantee that this pistol has a quality that goes beyond time.
Many enthusiasts see this gun as the long-lasting champion when it comes to full-sized,
semi-automatic handguns. And while it is true that modern handguns have
better ergonomics than the M1911, you can guarantee that they can still keep up.
In fact, the latest version of this handgun, the M1911A1,
has everything that you want from its predecessor. And it has more to offer,
as well, which is extremely useful during life-and-death situations.
One of the interesting aspects of this all-steel, single-action, and a single-stack handgun
is its versatility. Technically speaking, giant gun manufacturers such as Ruger,
Sig Sauer, Remington, and Smith & Wesson have their own versions for the M1911A1.
Regardless of your preferences, I am pretty sure that there is an M1911A1 that suits you.
Furthermore, it also has a dedicated 1911 aftermarket. If you want upgrades
or replacements, you will never have to search rigorously. By any means,
this pistol is one of the most versatile .45ACP in today's market. Keep in mind,
though, that majority of M1911 these days are in .38 Super, 10mm, and 9mm caliber.
When it comes to its power department, this gun doesn't lack anything. The M1911A1 is engineered
to have a serious knocking capability to deal with threats. It has a strong recoil,
but you can just manage it after some time. It has a nice trigger pull, as well.
It is not the most concealable but remains a reliable self-defense weapon nonetheless.
GLOCK 19
There's nothing to beat the Glock 19 when it comes to all-purpose functionality.
It is one of the reasons why it is the flagship handgun of Glock. Furthermore,
it is Glock's most popular pistol because of its reliability during tough situations.
Hence, it is not surprising that this one is a common pick for survival situations. When the
going gets tough, the Glock 19 gets tougher. It is a compact handgun, but it has enough
stopping power to deal with threats. It has the correct size to keep to protect you at all times.
Glock 19 features a rail instead of light. In this aspect,
I believe that it is better than the Glock 17. It makes the gun easy to conceal and carry.
Moreover, keep in mind that Glock 19 is compatible with Glock 17 magazines. But the
opposite can't take place. Because of this, acquiring mags for the gun is a lot easier.
The accuracy and level of control of the Glock 19 are superb,
too. It excels in target acquisition without punishing your hands. Since this gun has a
large aftermarket, you can get multiple part upgrades and replacements for it.
Of course, this includes third-party manufacturers of compatible magazines.
With the versatility of the Glock 19, repairs can be done in the field.
It has a simple construction, too, so taking it apart would not be a problem.
And the best part about the Glock 19 is its affordability. For instance, the Glock 19 Gen
4 is just under 500 bucks. The Gen 5 could cost more, but that is just a little bit.
So overall, this gun is great for frugal preppers. It may not have the best trigger or ergonomics,
but its reliability is definitely useful when your survival is on the line.
