There's a lot of ego to go around in the gun world and concealed carry community. When it comes to firearms and self-defense everyone has an opinion. One of the most common topics is: what gun should you carry, the best gun for carry, and what attributes of a pistol make it ideal for self protection. I've heard people say that you should carry the best micro gun because you are more likely to carry it. I've heard others say you should carry a full-size duty gun because it's easier to shoot well. Today we are going to hit the range to explore and discuss how much of a difference a bigger gun makes performance-wise versus a tiny compact gun. In order to take a high-level look at the subject, I'll be comparing the two extremes: the best selling Sig Sauer P365 (a snappy micro compact) and a fancy Staccato XC 2011 (the ultimate full-size pistol) Is a full-size handgun worth the extra weight, bulk, and concealment hassle? Or is a micro carry gun good enough? I'm not here to tell you what to do: this video is intended to provoke thought and conversation on the topic so let me know what you think in the comments!
For my YouTube manual reviewer: I am a certified instructor and range safety officer. This was safely filmed at a private range. This is an unmodified semi-automatic pistol in its factory configuration handled by a professional. For the love of god I'm following your rules. There is no content in here that disqualifies the video as being safe for all advertisers and you know it.
