5:05 Actual List Begins
My mother in law can only handle a 22lr ruger LCRx.
Should have offered your mom the ultimate 11-round micro nine: the Mossberg MC2sc. With an optic.
The PK 380 safety is wack. Also the gun isn’t made by walther it’s made by a BB gun company.
S&W Shield Plus 9mm, Taurus G3C/GX4, Glock 43. Don’t like .380 cause it’s like 20ga vs 12ga. Looks smaller but kicks like a horse on steroids. Springfield Hellcat is small too, but so is the Springfield XD Sub Compact 3" 9mm and it can take the full size XD magazines. The Taurus G3C can use the sig Sauer P226 Mags.
Should let your mom try the new Beretta 80x Cheetah
James can I put in a step dad application?
why wasnt the pdp f in the running dude? …nevermind, I saw it
What about the Ruger Security 380? Seems like a good alternative to the Shield EZ, with more capacity.
what’s up with the right hand drive rig, thought the camera was flipped till you flashed the 5.11 tag and it was normal. back out of the states no doubt.
Also, what on earth are you doing with a Springfield? Advertising to the boomers?
James, what about the Ruger pistols in 380 and 9?
I like how your mom.
Mom loves to fire my 50 bmg . 🤪
You forgot to include your favorite Glock 19
JR – What about the poly or metal Kel-Tec P15 with 50 grain / super low recoil 9mm ammo from liberty?
I see a FAL in the background of the talking sections…
Nice Nardi wheel
I would recommend the Beretta PX4 Storm Compact Carry, which should be a small, capable firearm
Does James have a driver’s ed vehicle?
10:18 🤣
Oh man she’s going to clint lucky

s&w equalizer vs fn relfex mrd
My mom was never interested in guns and she has passed. My dad is still around but also has no interest.
I went to Florida to visit my parents this past Christmas. Took my mom the The Alamo gun range and put a few guns in her hands including a full auto MP5. She had a blast and now she owns a Smith and Wesson M&P Plus after shooting one at the range.
I like the J frame revolver for mom cause its easy to clear, and she doesnt have to struggle with racking the slide.
Congrats on making it through this entire video without a squeeze cocker joke. True progress, James.
My mom had the S&W Shield 380 EZ, but ditched it for the a Ruger Security 380. She likes the capacity and shootability of it over the S&W. I know it’s not super sexy, but no mention of it?? C’mon man. My mom can’t be wrong!
"Well so does my son". EPIC!!
My mom has carpal tunnel so the ez is pretty much the only option for her.
Please, please lose the language
Shout out to my boys at Tijuana Flats
is that an fal in the background?
Hi Connie! Damn I miss Tijuana Flats. That place is great. Another quality video.
Your mom’s awesome. Don’t know how you turned out like this, but i’m sure it’s not her fault.
The optic _is_ almost cheating. Almost. Before that, I’d have said a revolver in .22 LR with a 7- or 8-shot cylinder. For my mom personally, I’d rather her have something she can hit what she aims at, and I know even .380 would make anything but her first shot go wild. I would make the trigger ultra-slick and light. Or maybe a Baby Browning. 😃
Love your mom’s she awesome great shooter too keep them coming. Thanks
Walther stepped down from the mantle, when they discontinued the PK380 😂
Absolutely… the S&W Equilizer is an upgraded and double-stack of the Shield EZ… A+++
Is that Walther PK380 a handgun or a handheld billboard?! How much shit can a gun manufacturer possibly write on the side of a compact handgun slide?
Got mom a VP9 for M day. I’ve seen her shoot it… I will never piss that woman off again.
I hope Big Purp makes a return!
My mom was nun for 14 years before leaving and meet my dad years later. She’s also in her 70s. She’d likely never shoot anyone, carry a gun, or draw on someone, which is too bad because she’s an amazing mom and deserves to be safe. Despite the irrelevance to my personal situation I still enjoyed the video a lot!
Your moms great she dose not look here age ! But I believe what she has to say about guns ! How about the glock 43x mos ! I love mine its my back up but if i go to the gym. Its the only thing i bring !
Thanks for the video – and 5.11 discount code!
I know I’m watching a gun video but I gotta say, that is one awesome looking jdm Land Cruiser
Mom ain’t getting no SA from me, heck a Taurus be better there probably more pro Merica too 😉
Mom is sweet, upright, and classy. Why did the apple fall a mile away from the tree? 😁
Beretta 3032 Tomcat Covert. OK, it’s only .32 ACP, but it has a tip-up barrel that can eliminate racking, it’s compact, and she can put a can on it.
My recommendations would depend on what the woman is capable of and whether you think your mom is going to actually maintain the gun and spray some lube on the moving parts every once in a while. AND do you think she will go to the range and practice at least a few times a year? Or is your mom the type of the person that just isn’t interested in doing that and will most likely keep the gun in a bedroom drawer and only ever take it out of there if she needs to use it? If its the second one, then I would strongly recommend someone like that getting a revolver. Because revolvers are very simple and straight forward on how to operate (no slides that need to be racked or safeties you need to remember to take off) and they can handle neglect a lot better than a semi auto. Semi autos are better at handling abuse, revolvers don’t like abuse, but they can handle neglect just fine. A revolver will still function even if its bone dry with not a drop of lube on it and maybe even covered in surface rust.
Also, the caliber I would recommend for someone that can’t handle a lot of recoil is .32 S&W long. If you got her a .327 fed mag lcr, loaded with .32 S&w long, she will have a 6 shot weapon in a caliber that’s more than capable for self defense if it’s loaded with the right ammo. Buffalo bore makes 100 grain .32 long hardcast wadcutters that will penetrate 16 inches in ballistics gel with almost no felt recoil. It has double the power and ballistics of a .22, while having about the same recoil as a .22. Plus it’s a centerfire caliber which will be more reliable than a rimfire, and it won’t have as heavy of a trigger pull as a rimfire. Plus the wadcutter shape will make a nastier wound than a round nose bullet would. I don’t know why more people don’t consider the caliber. It’s a much better choice for someone can’t handle recoil that is thinking about settling for a .22.
