you don’t do gun info videos anymore?
Awesome vid!! 👍🏻Can you include the .357sig and the 10mm in a next vid?
Can you shoot 10mm out of a .40?
So what are these units of measure all about like 22 LR, 9mm, 380 ACP, 40 SNW and 45 ACP? why not all of them measured in mm or have an standard measure of unit like everything else and what do the acronyms like ACP and LR mean?
Thanks for a great explanation of the different calibers! I like your "basic" videos!
What I’m new where is 10milamieter
This is your BEST video yet !!!!!! bravo
thank you for making this video. I am someone who knows absolutely nothing about guns and this was a great place for me to start. 😂
love your videos bro! im a new shooter and ive been learning so much.. Thanks and keep up the good work!
You forgot tokarev, one of the greatest round from history and still in service.
Too basic for us 😂
So what round is best for safety at home? Something that won’t go through the wall and hurt someone else.
Good video. But dont be .40 bashing damn. My first gun was a G22 LE trade in. I love it
.40 caliber is a great cartridge, easy to control
I started watching the video to find out more about the .25 ACP and the.32 ACP.
You can’t explain these two calibers if you do not include them.
Shout out for the baby .22lr!!
Wat abt 25 n 32 acp? ??
Can you review the Mossberg 715T?
Can someone explain what the names of each of these calibers means??
.32 r .327?
If I had to choose just 5 calibers that most represents a good cross section the pistol community, it would of been the same five. You also did a good job of keeping it simple but informative. Well done … cheers
Outstanding explanation. Well done!
Good video but you should have added 10 mm and .357 Sig also.
Great entry video. Thank you!
Thanks well done & informative 🙂 ~Maranatha~
Only two minutes in… "I should probably take notes before I start my new job at a gun shop! I don’t want to go in feeling like a complete idiot!" Thanks for the video, Chad!
Thank you! Great expectation of bullets.
Very helpful. Thanks.
What does 22…9mm…and so on mean?
how many bullets in a round?
Awesome video!
Thank you for the info…brand new shooter here and you are right getting overwhelmed doesn’t make it easy. thank you for putting the right amount of info in
I’ve never been given a straight answer from anyone. I’m a wheelchair user using a ultralight titanium chair who’s new to concealed carry. My question. How would you carry?
Hope you enjoyed your guns. All you need is a shotgun…. thanks for voting Biden.
Very helpful video, thanks!
Excellent video, appreciate your thinking on the basics, more people are shooting, more need this, simple! Keep it up.
A guy that works as a gun shop told me the three basic calibers are 9 40 and 45 and if I stick with those three I should be okay!
I like those that give carriers an informed decision, rather than ragging on what may be your personal choice !
As a newer subscriber, I am enjoying your presentations !
Information is the power to choose !
great break down
all this is pathetic you never use it
Great video. Been shooting for a while and I even learned a thing or two.

you are such a nubie.
Have been around guns all my life but never had an explanation like this, as well as most of the weapons I have shot are shotguns and rifles. My first time shooting a handgun, my dad just bought a crappy $300 .45 high-point. Was not prepared for that! Since then I have really enjoyed .380 and 9mm. I just turned 22 and want to get a concealed carry, but think I should learn a bit more about the actual weapons. My boyfriend packs a .45 with hollow points, which was fun to shoot, but painful after a couple clips. This was a great video and very understanding!
you should have added the 10mm
Dislike: you say this is a very basic video, but you don’t even say what a caliber is.
10mm and .357 are my favorite.
Thanks. Good explanation.
Nice rundown. Only thing I think a newbie might still be wondering is what exactly "grains" means and how to equate that with an actual weight. That was something I had to research when I first got into guns.
I’d love to see a video on handguns that are easy to handle for those with weak hands – specifically seeing what slides they find harder/easier to rack, and how they respond to semi-autos vs. revolvers, and different calibers. I’m mostly thinking of a "mom" gun for an older lady who lives alone and a standard 9mm pistol is too much gun to handle.
What does 380 mean? I understand 22, 9mm, 40, and 45.
A chart showing the comparative grains, FPS, caliber, kinetic energy would be nice. Also pictures of the bullets out of the brass would be helpful.
