since 9mm is a NATO caliber and LE caliber, could have shortages when they are in need of this caliber
that's why I stockpile ammo, reload, have multiple calibers I can use: 9mm, 45acp, 38sp, 357mag, 44sp, 44mag, 22LR, 22WMR. I can also reload all those calibers except the rimfire ones
better to have multiple calibers than to depend on only one.  good excuse to get several firearms too ;)

That guy makes a good point. I watched 2 minutes of the video.
Anybody watch the rest of it?

.380 is definitely the way to go
Stop blaming lazy people. We didn’t do anything.

I cannot.  He mumbles a lot of passive aggressive remarks.  Like he has issues within himself that he can't come to terms with.

He posted a recent video where he obviously had issues with other YouTubers and challenged them to come to his chat channel to discuss the issues.  He was just on constant rant, rave, and pity party mode.

Anyway I couldn't help it and commented that maybe he should take a break.  Or quit.  Do something else.

But I have a feeling he won't.

I watched up until the animal stuff
He has his opinions, that's for sure
I watch his vids often. Gives me something to think about. He has some nice guns though

Makes you wonder if say people demanded 380 nationwide, would it overtake 9mm availability (manufacturers make more) on the shelves and cause more guns to be designed in 380? Like a total replacement of 9mm.  Or would it be the caliber of the gun that drives the market.  Like look back and how cops had revolvers, then as semi auto handguns were replacing them, so did the caliber demand. Now finding 38 special or even 44 or 357 is much less than 9mm on the shelf.  And good luck finding a cop with a revolver on their duty belt.

This is the problem with uncommon calibers, the unavailability.  I now a guy with a PS90 and has 1K rounds of 5.7 for it. He hasn't shot it because the ammo is expensive and harder to come buy.  So when he does want to sell the PS90, it coming with ammo helps.

I think he makes some good points, but I also didn't watch the whole video. 

Overall, choose what is best for you, hopefully based on an informed decision.  He likes 10 mm, or that I thought I heard.  If so, rock on. . .

I don't watch many firearms YT videos much anymore, but only watched his typically when someone on online forums shares.  He seems to have a lot of experience with a huge variety of firearms, which I think is valuable.  But don't agree with many of his opinions and conclusions.  Where I  ::) is when folks take his opinions as fact without trying for themselves because they are a fan. . .

From his previous videos, he seems to mostly carry .357 revolvers.  The last one I saw was of his Chiappa Rhino.

I think he made a video claiming the .357 as the ultimate self-defense round.  Or was it ultimate revolver self-defense round.  One or the other.

This might be it.

If I didn't need a CCW permit for each pistol, I would ankle carry a Ruger hammerless revolver in 9mm.
