What's up guys? This is Chris here, and today we're going to be talking about some really bad carry guns. Yesterday I was going over my collection and I was like, man, those are some bad carry guns. Maybe people should know they are. So today we're going to go over five of the worst carry guns that I have in my collection so you can avoid them or buy them and suffer. It's up to you. Now we're going to go over these and these guns are going to be not only bad for concealed carry, but they're going to be kind of bad overall guns as well with maybe one exception. Now we're going to be going over these guns. We're going to be talking about the actions. We're going to be talking about the calibers, why they're bad for concealed carry, and then I'm also going to be giving a couple alternatives in a similar price point.
So if you guys are budget constricted or you guys have a specific goal in mind for concealed carry, hopefully you can get there while avoiding these. Now, before we do that, I do want to thank the sponsor of this video, which is Brown ELs. Brown ELs has been our channel sponsor for a while now and we really appreciate them. We have been working with them because not only are they based in Iowa, we really love them, but they have pretty much everything I use on a day-to-day basis, not only to do my job but to have fun. They have all kinds of outdoor stuff, bags to accessories, to magazines, to optics to lights, and much more. Pretty much anything you see on the channel you can get at Brown ELs. That being said, let's get into it. One of the better guns on the list and that is going to be the bond arms honeybee, cool name, bad gun, 24 seconds to fire, four shots, not bad. Now the bond arms honeybee is a new iteration of a gun that's been around a long time so long that you can see these in Old West movies. One of my personal favorite being The Quick and the Dead because dingers have been used for concealed carry guns for a very long time. Now will they work? Yeah. Are they better than what we have today? Absolutely not.
That's so silly. First off, the bond arms honeybee is chambered in the 22 long rifle, making it very, very inefficient for self-defense and very inefficient for penetration. Not only that, but the 22 long rifle is also a rim cartridge, so it has a lot of inherent problems over a center fire cartridge misfire. Not all that surprising. You just cock it and keep doing it. So both of these have been hit, right? They're both rim fire cartridge. They both hit except one of them is live. And in order to eject this, you have to try very hard not to point this at your fucking face, which is why I don't like to have people shoot these very much that aren't familiar with guns is because you can break a lot of safety rules with dingers really quickly. They look cool, but they're dumb. So not only do we have an unreliable cartridge that it's very weak, but we also have a system designed to point the gun back at you, which is entertaining as you can see here. And also it has only two shots. You ready? Yep.
Missed. I thought it hit,
What was that? 24 point 11, making it one of the worst guns you can buy, which is why it's on this list. Now if we want to add insult injury, it's also heavier than a Smith and Wesson bodyguard, which has 10 rounds of three 80 and it's also around the same price. It's a cool looking gun. It's sort of a piece of history. I bought it because I think it's unique and kind of fun, but I certainly wouldn't carry this. I mean, arguably there are knives better than this gun. So if you're looking for concealed carry gun and you're picking up a dinger, I'd think twice in at number four, probably the best gun on this list, just not for concealed carry, and that is going to be the Rossi brawler. Now, the Rossi brawler was sort of what made me make this list because getting into the forums, getting into the comment section and hearing that people actually carry this gun, I had to put out a public service announcement saying that you should probably not do that. Do you feel lucky Punk?
Now the Rossi brawler is cool. It has an intimidating name and it sort of looks very powerful, but the reality is this is just a four 10 shotgun that can also take 45 long col. It is a single shot, four 10 shotgun that you can in fact carry on you and they do make holsters for this, but they make holsters for this. For ranch shoes, these are for snakes, not for burglars. Four 10 shotguns are shotguns, but they're not powerful shotguns and the rounds that you shoot out of these have very limited velocity because of the incredible short barrel length on top of that. It's one of the weakest shotguns you can shoot. And on top of that, you only get one shot out of it for a very large handgun for the same size and weight of the Rossi brawler, you can literally carry a staccato xc.
Now a single shot of 45 long Colt will do the job if you are very accurate and it does give me some hard target vibes. I don't know if you guys ever saw Hard Target, it's one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Lance Henderson is the bad guy in that movie and he's hunting a very muled out John Claude Van Dam who does all kinds of spinning kicks in the Baton Rouge Swamp, but it's still not a good gun for concealed carry. Regardless, single shots are very reliable, but they are in fact just a single shot and probably also better left in the past. Now the plus side to this gun is that it is a very good snake gun and it is only about a hundred dollars. So if you're looking for a hundred dollars gun, you could argue this is one of the better ones, but I would argue back to you, if you're going to concealed carry, I would up that price to at least $300.
And if you don't have that save over time, you'll be very happy that you did for the 300 price point. You can get yourself a cz P 10 s, which is a phenomenal gun, whereas the Rossi brawler, if you do buy this for concealed carry, I don't think you're going to be happy. In at number three we have the Barco Arms, Jennings Firearms three 80, and if you want to know what this is called, it is literally just the three 80. Now these guns have been in evidence lockers and in buried holes somewhere for a very long time. This is your classic criminal gun right here. These guns are notoriously unreliable.
Mag popped out, oh, see, I just accidentally turned on the safety
On top of that, they are very, very snappy. So it has a release on the magazine where you actually have to push it the wrong direction so it's not intuitive. So you really do only have a five or six round capacity of three 80. They're like a pocket gun that people have never shot before and they keep it in their pocket because it does fit in there and they feel like they're armed, but you're most likely not. I would recommend heavily if you want to get a three 80, I would look at something like the Ruger LCP or definitely the Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0. These guns are just very unreliable, traditionally and inaccurate. I would argue that you're probably more well armed with a knife or a sharpened stick than you are with a Jennings three 80 Auto in at number two, we have one of my all time favorite guns to shit on and they give me a lot of reasons for it.
This is the standard manufacturing S3 33, the volley fire thunderstruck. It's 40 names, two barrels, but only one purpose to not be concealed carried. Well, that's interesting. This gun was a gun that I saw late at night when I make all my bad decisions and I had to get one because it's a double barreled revolver. Who doesn't want that? Right? You open the cylinder here, and as you can see, you have a decent capacity of eight rounds of 22 Magnum, which is a decent caliber for self-defense. And eight rounds is a pretty decent capacity. The downsides of the revolver lie elsewhere. First off, we have the very rudimentary sites, which are obviously not lined up with both barrels and if you get out past five or seven yards even, you're going to have a lot of accuracy related issues.
You hit something,
Did I? But really what comes down to the volley fire sucking is the trigger. Normally trigger pull is like boop, and I'm pretty good at that, but this trigger pull is like that. The trigger comes back and it presses against your hand, so you can't have any of your hand in the way and you can't choke up at all. So all of the recoil control is down here at the very bottom, and then my left hand here is kind of like tea cupping and it's got a trigger safety that if I engage doesn't seem to make any difference. This count itself has a decent amount of recoil because it's a 22 magnum and it's very, very lightweight. It's like 12 ounces on the back here. We have a rubber grip, which actually doesn't feel too bad if when you pulled the trigger it didn't take up the entire grip.
So the only thing you can actually hold onto is the pinky rung down here, and it just makes for a very, very miserable shooting experience, and I think you're way better off with something like a Smith and Wesson airway or honestly even a Rock Island revolver. I would take well over this and they're similar in price, so cool, gimmicky, but certainly a really, really bad carry gun. Now, there'd be a lot of honorable mentions for this for sure. One that I can think of off the top of my head is the Desert Eagle. It's kind of a comic one, but it's realistic. It's very, very heavy. It's pretty unreliable, but I would certainly take the Desert Eagle over all these guns, so that's why I didn't make the list. I also want to mention again, the Rock Island revolver. That gun is very uncomfortable, but it was reliable and accurate and I would certainly take that gun over these as well.
And then finally, the high 0.3 80 I wanted to throw in there, but I would argue the high 0.3 80 for as shitty as it is, it's also like 80 bucks and it's probably still better than most of these guns. That being said, the worst gun that I've ever had, of course topped a couple of my bad gun list before and it will top this one as well because I've never found anything that's worse than this thing. The Altor or what I like to call the 1992 Camaro cigarette lighter. This thing is an atrocity. This is a single shot nine millimeter pistol here. What a shit show that is. That uses basically a slingshot method, which we'll get into here in a second and it breach loads. Alright, see, this makes me a little nervous because what you're doing is you're sliding around onto this little shelf here with kind of an exposed primer there,
And then you kind of have to sheath the bullet that's touching the firing pin in the primer at the same time, which is a little scary. We have little sights on here, which are obviously not accurate. They are one inch. Your site radius is like one and a half inches, and this is the trigger mechanism wrap around here like this thumb out of the way, finger down all the way and release the drill. Weird. It's kind of like that and it sort of slam fires into the back of the round and it goes off and this is an eight ounce gun and you're shooting a nine millimeter round, which doesn't seem like a lot because you guys who shoot nine millimeter have a slide in a recall spring and stuff like that. This thing wants to pop out of your hand every time you shoot it.
Half the time it doesn't even go off because the slingshot method is certainly not a reliable source of ignition. If it does go off every single time you miss your target. It's just absolutely banana stupid. It's one of the dumbest guns I've ever seen in my life. It's slightly better than the pen gun and the pen gun is cooler, which is why the pen gun didn't make this list. Out of all the guns on this list, this would be the one I would carry the least and guaranteed I would rather have a four inch spider coat than this guy. This is a Cowboy's best friend.
