This video explores the evolving landscape of handgun calibers, moving beyond the traditional 9mm. The presenter, Ted from Line 45, details several alternative calibers gaining traction in 2025, including 30 Super Carry for increased capacity in compacts, 5.7x28mm for flat trajectory and speed, 10mm for significant power and penetration, 357 SIG for barrier penetration and velocity, and 22TCM for rifle-like speed in a pistol platform. The discussion highlights the specific advantages and use cases for each caliber, suggesting a shift towards more specialized choices for concealed carry and self-defense.

This review of the FN Reflex micro-compact 9mm pistol highlights its internal hammer-fired system and lightweight trigger, which some consider among the best for concealed carry. The presenter, with apparent experience in firearms instruction, discusses the pistol's trigger break and reset, the absence of a blade safety, and FN's mitigation strategy of including an ambidextrous thumb safety. Testing focuses on trigger feel, split times, appendix draw proficiency, and overall ergonomics, concluding that while the pistol is snappy due to its size, its features make it a viable option for concealed carry.

The Springfield Armory SA-35, now available with a 4-inch barrel, enhances a classic design with modern features for defensive use.

This video provides an expert-level assessment of BB gun lethality for self-defense, featuring an experienced instructor from 1ShotTV. The test uses a realistic ballistic dummy head to compare a Daisy Red Rider BB gun, an Umarex MP40 CO2 replica, and a Gamo Wildcat Whisper pellet rifle. The findings indicate that BB guns are ineffective for self-defense, while pellet rifles show some potential but lack the stopping power of conventional firearms.
