The Yankee Marshal, an experienced firearms instructor, discusses the ballistics of 9mm versus .38 Special +P for self-defense. While terminal ballistics can be comparable, especially with high-end loads, 9mm semi-automatic pistols offer a significant capacity advantage (16-31 rounds) over .38 Special revolvers (5-8 rounds), making 9mm the practical choice for most self-defense scenarios.

This video compares the Mossberg 590A1 military-grade shotgun with a smaller firearm referred to as 'The Jackrabbit'. The presenter highlights the 590A1's duty-readiness and 8+1 capacity, while noting 'The Jackrabbit's' concealability but significantly lower 2+1 capacity. Despite acknowledging the appeal of 'The Jackrabbit' for travel or as a backpack gun, the presenter leans towards the 590A1 for its superior capacity in a potential home defense scenario.

The comparison highlights the trade-off between the Echelon's higher capacity and shootability versus the Bodyguard 2.0's extreme concealability, based on live-fire demonstrations and visual size comparisons.

This video provides a detailed comparison of the FN Reflex Micro 9, Sig Sauer P365, and Sig Sauer P365 XL, focusing on size, capacity, and trigger characteristics. The presenter, with apparent experience in firearms, highlights their suitability as double-stack micro 9mm carry guns, noting subtle differences that impact shootability and concealability. The FN Reflex is praised for its trigger, while the P365 XL offers a slightly larger grip and capacity.

This video provides a detailed comparison between the PSA 57 Rock and the FN 57 pistols, both chambered in 5.7x28mm. The reviewer highlights key differences in operating systems (lock breach vs. delayed blowback), slide construction (steel vs. polymer-covered internal), trigger mechanisms (striker-fired vs. hammer-fired), and frame quality. While the PSA is noted for its Glock-like features and lower price point, the FN is praised for its superior build quality, internal hammer mechanism, and better trigger.

The video discusses the perceived decline in popularity of the 40 Smith & Wesson cartridge. The speaker argues that while not dead due to the vast number of existing firearms, its market share has decreased significantly. This decline is attributed to law enforcement agencies converting back to 9mm and the rise of micro-compact, double-stack firearms that offer comparable or superior capacity in 9mm with a smaller footprint.

The Ruger Security 9 Compact is reviewed for its continued relevance in the current market. While praised for its ergonomics, trigger, and budget-friendly price point of $369 MSRP, its primary drawback is its 10-round magazine capacity, which is considered low compared to modern subcompact double-stack pistols offering 12-15 rounds. The video questions whether its capacity meets the current market threshold for a compact carry gun.

Colion Noir provides a critical yet candid review of the CZ P-10 M, a sub-$300 micro-compact 9mm pistol.
