The Kel-Tec PR57 is a unique 5.7x28mm pistol featuring an internal 20-round magazine loaded via a proprietary stripper clip. It's the smallest and lightest option in its caliber class, weighing just 13.9 oz empty. While innovative, its stripper clip system is slower than traditional magazines, and the DAO trigger lacks second-strike capability. Reliability varied with ammunition types tested.

The SCCY CPX-2 is deemed untrustworthy for defensive use due to critical malfunctions, including hangfires and a dangerous 'bump fire' issue triggered by tapping the magazine. Despite initial positive range performance, the gun's reliability is questioned, especially compared to brands like Glock or Sig Sauer. The reviewer strongly advises against relying on this budget firearm for self-defense, suggesting better alternatives exist.

This review of the B&T GL06 highlights its versatility as both a less-lethal and full-power 40mm grenade launcher. The expert demonstrates its break-open loading mechanism, similar to the M79, and its ergonomic features like a folding stock reminiscent of H&K platforms. The GL06 is equipped with a full Picatinny rail for optics and rudimentary backup sights, and features a Double Action Only (DAO) trigger.

The FN Forty-Nine, FN's first modern striker-fired polymer pistol introduced in 2000, is critically reviewed. Despite its full-size frame, it suffers from poor ergonomics, a heavy DAO trigger, and a proprietary accessory rail. While surprisingly accurate in slow fire due to clear sights and a predictable trigger, it fails practical shooting tests, making it a 'bad gun' representing a misguided era of police firearm design.

The SCCY CPX-2 9mm is presented as a high-value, budget-friendly option for concealed carry, offering a Zytel frame and multiple color options. While its Double Action Only trigger pull is long and heavy at around 9.5 lbs, it's consistent and manageable with practice. The pistol is notably thinner and lighter than a Glock 26, making it highly concealable, and comes with a lifetime warranty.

This video demonstrates that the Sig Sauer P250, despite its double-action-only (DAO) trigger, is a capable firearm when used with proper technique. By learning to 'stage' the trigger, even novice shooters like John and Tristina can significantly improve their accuracy. The P250's modularity is also highlighted, showing its adaptability for different needs.

The Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard 380 is a reliable option for deep concealment, weighing 12 oz and chambered in .380 ACP. While its Double Action Only trigger presents a challenge for pinpoint accuracy, its double-strike capability and compact size make it suitable for self-defense. The review highlights common disassembly issues with newer M&P models and recommends grip enhancements for better control.

This review of the Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard 380 highlights its updated features for 2014, including M&P slide serrations and a lower price point due to the removal of the integrated laser. The pistol demonstrates reliable feeding of defensive ammunition and good accuracy at 12 meters, despite a heavy DAO trigger pull of over 9 pounds. It's recommended as a deep-concealment backup gun for experienced shooters.

The North American Arms Guardian in .32 ACP is a high-quality, all-stainless steel semi-automatic pistol ideal for deep concealment. Despite its small size, its weight aids in recoil management, making it more comfortable to shoot than many polymer micro-pistols. It features a smooth but stiff double-action-only trigger and offers various ergonomic accessories.

The S&W Bodyguard 380 is a subcompact pistol designed for concealed carry, featuring a 6+1 capacity and a last-round bolt hold-open. It boasts an integrated ambidextrous laser with constant or pulse modes and a Double Action Only (DAO) trigger for safety and second-strike capability. Despite its compact size, it offers a smooth trigger pull and is recommended for its quality, reliability, and S&W's lifetime warranty.

The Kahr CW9 and CW45 are compact, American-made pistols featuring polymer frames and stainless steel slides. Both offer a 7-round single-stack magazine capacity and a double-action-only trigger. While accurate and suitable for concealed carry, the DAO trigger's long travel may require adjustment. The CW45 exhibits more recoil but is noted for a slightly preferable trigger feel by some.
