I Know I Shouldn’t Do This…. but

The answer for which gun is right for Mere... is to let Mere shoot the pile you picked out, and she can choose. Make a Demo-ranch video out of it :)

Definitely take the Glocks and the Sig to the range with her and let her say which one feels the best to her. I know she may say she doesn't care but if it feels better to shoot the more likely she will be to train and use it.

I really do enjoy watching Brandon and Matt interact with each other. It's hilarious

A major factor for Mere's gun is definitely going to be grip size. You may even want to consider something like the M&P 9 Shield EZ which also has easier slide racking. The gun is basically designed for women and older folks who don't have a huge amount of grip strength. Also why not have an optic? Using irons accurately for inexperienced shooters is far harder than simply putting a red dot over what you want to hit. Take her to the range with a red dot and she could probably hit everything pretty accurately as long as it's zeroed. Can't say that with irons. Being able to using iron sights accurately is a skill you have to master. Using a red dot is basically a cheat code.

When setting up your squad, you always use hardware that everyone's mags fit. You want to be able to toss each other mags whenever and/or if ever necessary.

My wife used to carry/train with a S&W .380 until we had an intruder while I was out of the country. She had to use and employ her EDC. The intruder got out of the house and was arrested at the hospital. She put 3 rounds out of 4 into him. 1 upper abdomen, 1 right chest, 1 right shoulder upper arm area. Her mag had Critical Defense rounds. When I returned home we both decided that she needed an upgrade with a little more lead and worked our why thru pistols that she was absolutely comfortable with. I have and love SIG and she enjoys shooting my P320. So for her EDC we decide to go with the SIG P365. Smaller platform and something she can easily carry in her purse or on her person. Best of luck in finding the right pistol for your wife.

4:46 You two discovering the automatic center punch for the first time ever is absolutely adorable. 😂

The internet needs more videos of Brandon and Matt's banter

If you go with the SIG i would spray the mags tan as well so there is no confusion between what mags go to what gun.

Hey Matt, I've always been bad at working out but in the last couple of years I've tried to taking what you say about doing one thing each day to make my life a little better and now I run 3 miles every day during the week. Thank you! :)

I think that Matt is actually HELLA smart by doing such type of video. This is not just your regular "in case of an emergency" videos,with this video he basically flexed to all the potential introuders or thieves what they can expect to get shot at with. I personally think that this is also one of good preventions to stop robbers looking into your home.

I do not think, that you're over thinking this thought you're having in regards to the mag situation. It's good to think about all of those tiny what ifs when you're prepping to protect your family. Every detail matters. You should train with her in the house with sweeping and room clearing. Having a drill with the kids to get to a safe space. Can't hurt!

I love that both Brandon and the Holden Bros. are regulars on the channel now.

I think she would like to choose from the last 3. My wife chose her own and settled for one i dont agree with but she likes shooting it and does practice.

Being able to use the same magazine for the two of you would be a big positive for me. I bought several pistols for my wife to try before she settled on the S&W .380 EZ. Hand strength and being able to rack the slide with no difficulty were the deciding factors.

I’m so impressed with guys like the Holden bros who know so much about cars. Diagnosing an issue by just listening and smelling the exhaust.

We need to get Brandon out on demo ranch, That would be such an entertaining video!

My now husband taught me to shoot, he had an array of pew pews he thought I would like. The last one 1 tried was his carry piece... ended up being his Glock 23 ... I loved it...bought one... it is good for home defense but too big to conceal. Still wouldn't trade it. But it all comes down to what SHE is comfortable with!

Hey Matt, appreciate you creating this and demolition ranch and showing how awesome your life is. Really is an inspiration. I do want to say, you seem like you’re burnt out. Like, tired and not as happy as you were a few months ago. I could totally be wrong but just wanted to say, if you are, take a break man. You have a lot on your plate pretty much all the time and just don’t want to see you overdo it. Love ya man, can’t wait to see the future.

Brandon and the Holden bros . are super great dudes always go the extra mile.
