    The 380 ez is king out of those 3



  2. YungChainSm0ker on February 2, 2023 at 1:48 am

    Pleaseee pleaseee do a review on the compact .40 s&w and the SHIELD .40 I’d love to get your take on advantages/disadvantages for weight slide etc



  3. Donnie Flores on February 2, 2023 at 1:48 am

    I can’t believe that Ruger didn’t beat S&W to the punch with this pistol. The 30 super carry is the 327 Federal Magnum revolver cartridge, rimless for a pistol. Now Hickock reviewed the 327 revolver, and had roughly the same opinion.



  4. Troy Kell on February 2, 2023 at 1:49 am

    I’m a 9mm guy but took a chance on a shield in 30 super carry. First trip to the range and love it. Less snappy than the 9 in a smaller plastic framed pistol IMO. Will integrate it with my other conceal carry pistols.



  5. Pete McGwire on February 2, 2023 at 1:50 am

    I love my Shield + 30SC.



  6. Trev Jones on February 2, 2023 at 1:50 am

    I want a grandfather like Hickok45! Somebody’s a lucky grandkid. This is the kind of guy would have some kind of super power and will never die.



  7. Robert on February 2, 2023 at 1:54 am

    Deliver them up!! yeah that was 5 months ago. Now? if you thought UPS or FedX was your carrier that delivery isn’t gonna happen. Woke corporations and pressure from senators who support lawsuits due to in transit security theft will enact their vision of our submission.



  8. Michael on February 2, 2023 at 1:54 am

    If you have the occasion, test the new KelTec P15. Thanks.



  9. Dab Bad on February 2, 2023 at 1:55 am

    Love the ads on "Mood", weed strain…was actually wondering when I would see a infomercial for weed. Well,it’s now been done. Smoke some "Mood" everybody, it will make you feel like a good mood and…it’s legal,for a you Babyboomers. So,don’t call the cops when or if you get paranoid about it. 🙂🙃🤪😜😘😃



  10. Mac miller on February 2, 2023 at 1:56 am

    Are these all the same size



  11. Just JJ on February 2, 2023 at 1:56 am

    .380 aka 9mm Short is a nice round but that 30 SC has really got my attention I hope to see it in some other silhouettes soon. You get more capacity than a 9 but similar very similar performance in the amount of energy it’s putting down range



  12. 58MrMike on February 2, 2023 at 1:58 am

    I tried taping my EZ9 but couldn’t get the tape to hold the grip safety in.



  13. Ron Toomey on February 2, 2023 at 1:59 am

    Please compare the Kimber R7 Mako, (11+1, 13+1 mags.), with the new Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus, (10+1, 13+1 mags.)



  14. william server on February 2, 2023 at 2:00 am

    Great video



  15. Nicole Wells on February 2, 2023 at 2:00 am

    🥰



  16. A.J. Hodges on February 2, 2023 at 2:01 am

    It seems to me you are consistently shooting the .30 Super faster than the 9mm, and the .380 faster than both. This suggests there is slightly less recoil in the .30 Super compared to 9mm.



  17. Michael Mosberger on February 2, 2023 at 2:02 am

    I seen it for the first time in a gun raffle I entered. Is it really worth adding another round to your inventory with the 30 super carry? I can hold 10 -15 rnd depending on my magazines with my Glock 43 X.



  18. Snake Plissken on February 2, 2023 at 2:02 am

    I like 30 super carry.. makes you realize we’re good with 9 and 380.



  19. Colt10mm Security on February 2, 2023 at 2:03 am

    9mm and .380. Winning. .30SC ….worthless all because of pricing and availability. It’s a round that was never needed.



  20. David Walker on February 2, 2023 at 2:03 am

    Smith and Wesson should call them citizen and military the way things are going. Or citizen and police.



  21. Legodlak on February 2, 2023 at 2:04 am

    the main claim to fame of a .30 super carry is european jurisdictions limited to .32 caliber.



  22. Some Nobody on February 2, 2023 at 2:07 am

    30 S.C. is Joe Biden getting people to accept less lethal rounds by offering more capacity. I’ll take a 6/7 shot 357 mag over a 30 S.C./380 A.C.P./9 MM any day.



  23. Marcus Martinez on February 2, 2023 at 2:08 am

    I love your videos hickok45, but why do people say, "it’s like comparing apples to oranges"? They are both round….both fruits….both sweet, both have seeds,…they are very similar in multiple ways….but hey, don’t listen to me, I’m just busting balls here. It’s my one day off this week, and my birthday is day after tomorrow, I’ve been looking into getting a new EDC, and typically look at your videos and Colin Noir videos to see what’s up with certain tools. Keeps up the good work!



  24. JOHN BURRIS on February 2, 2023 at 2:08 am

    Love to see a baby glock chambered in the 30 super carry. Love my Glock 26 an I have got the smith plus in super carry.



  25. brackish waters on February 2, 2023 at 2:09 am

    Just picked up a EZ shield 9m for the wife. Took it to the range yesterday and off the rip had 4 failures back to back due to that back strap safety. She handed it to me and once again failure after failure until I awkwardly adjusted my grip to accommodate that feature.
    Two major issues with this firearm (for us)
    1. As mentioned that grip safety, it’s just very awkward when actually firing it.
    2. The model we got has the ambo thumb safety, the way S&W designed it after each shot your thumb almost always flips it up accidentally engaging it. Simply put it seems like a dangerous carry gun.

    We’re gonna bring it back tmr (Monday) and see if we can exchange it for something else. I had got it for her as a carry gun



  26. Ed Becka on February 2, 2023 at 2:10 am

    Here’s the utility I see for the .30SC: spare cylinders for the .30 Blackhawk and .32 Mag/327 Single Six/Sevens, and eventually in PPCs and full-size match pistols that share the same magazines. My wish list? Reintroduce the M1 Carbine in .30SC in a lightweight synthetic-stock version along with a full size, adjustable-sight match grade pistol, with magazines around 20-30 rounds that interchange between the two.



  27. Randall Floyd on February 2, 2023 at 2:12 am

    LOL! It’ll join the ranks of the .357 Sig, 40S&W, .327, 45GAP, etc….



  28. Scarecrow on February 2, 2023 at 2:12 am

    I carry 9mm. My wife packs the 380 Shield EZ and loves it. And, I’ve watched enough "The First 48 hours" shows to know 380 kills.



  29. Speed on February 2, 2023 at 2:14 am

    This cartridge is amazing . It is about time they finally offer something to take the place of the 380 acp. A cartridge that if you ever need it should actually stop the threat. Unlike 380 ACP which is under powered to confidently get the job done. I expect to get Super Carry’s for all the women in my family. They currently have micro 9’s . But I can tell they are intimidated by the sharp recoil in their current carry guns. I recently got a 30 SC for myself and I love it.



  30. THIS IS #MAGA COUNTRY on February 2, 2023 at 2:14 am

    Nice work on Fox News, Old Man.



  31. Jay Luy on February 2, 2023 at 2:18 am

    I believe that’s it’s the same , just more capacity and slimmer to carry . Correct me if I’m wrong



  32. George Sigler on February 2, 2023 at 2:18 am

    The m&p 9mm plus hold 11 & 13



  33. Doc Riley on February 2, 2023 at 2:20 am

    Have you done a comparison as of yet with the Smith & Wesson new 10 mm



  34. George Sigler on February 2, 2023 at 2:20 am

    Great video as always love watching this man



  35. Zechnar Williams on February 2, 2023 at 2:21 am

    cereal killer?



  36. Thomas Arrington on February 2, 2023 at 2:22 am

    from my visual standpoint..you kept the muzzle on target more so with the sc vs 9..albeit slightly



  37. Fred Mullison on February 2, 2023 at 2:22 am

    The EZ concept is interesting. Being used to 1911s, I have no problem with grip safeties, but I don’t like the design of the EZ grip safety. I would much prefer a 1911 design with the hinge above the grip, not below the grip. Either that, or no grip safety at all, but a thumb safety only. I carry a Glock, but would want at least one mechanical safety on a hammer fired, "fully cocked" handgun.



  38. IBPROFIN NOPE on February 2, 2023 at 2:24 am

    If your so dumb how are you making way more money than me while having more fun?



  39. Bryan Anderson on February 2, 2023 at 2:26 am

    I’d buy 30 super before I’d buy 380. I might get a super small one if they make it. Somthing the size of the kahr cm9 in 30 super carry would be awesome



  40. Mr. constitutional Carry on February 2, 2023 at 2:27 am

    My wife has two 9mms one is loaded with Buffalo bore 147gr +p hard cast and the other seismic 185gr rounds



  41. Vitor Hugo Casanova on February 2, 2023 at 2:29 am

    .30 Super Carry is show.



  42. Ariel Combalicer on February 2, 2023 at 2:31 am

    i want this ammo in glock 43x or 48. HELLO GLOCK, DO IT



  43. Franco Stacy on February 2, 2023 at 2:33 am

    Will the 30 blow the lungs out of a person like the 9mm



  44. Wesley Copeland on February 2, 2023 at 2:33 am

    I don’t like any kind of grip safety if I had a gun with one I’d have it pinned



  45. Troutbum905 on February 2, 2023 at 2:34 am

    Anybody else notice he said he has a Sig in the pocket? Yea probably a 365 which blows them all away!



  46. cuda40 * on February 2, 2023 at 2:36 am

    Yeah , I’m sure the bad guy is going to notice a difference. 😂



  47. Kyle Carlin on February 2, 2023 at 2:39 am

    The shield EZ is absolutely garbage.

    They aren’t very concealable.

    The capacity is bad.

    The only practical purpose for them is for women to train with. Even that is flawed because they’re going to be training with something that isn’t anywhere near anything practical for carry. The grip safety teaches them to hold lower on the grip which would cause cycling issues on any other pistol with a stronger recoil spring (which is all semi autos besides this one)

    Before any EZ owners come for me, understand that I work at a gun shop in WV and this firearm comes back to the shop to trade for something else more than any other pistol.

    Buy a shield 2.0
    13+1 and more concealable



  48. cali2ndamndmentmexican on February 2, 2023 at 2:40 am

    He never misses pay attention! I been watching mr.hickok since I was 5 now I’m 30 years old.



  49. Lil'Yeshua on February 2, 2023 at 2:46 am

    Thanks for your review. So 30 super carry mimics the sig .357 in report and snappiness perhaps? I always mark my S&W shield mags for caliber with permanent ink markers but of course you’re just borrowing those.



  50. kissin mirrors on February 2, 2023 at 2:47 am

    Does anyone know if the 30sc and the 9mm will work in the same molded holster? I can’t seem to find a holster for the 30sc. So if it will fit in the 9 I can just get a holster for it?
