  10. good home defense gun

    Posted

    The problem I've found with having a shotgun for home defense is unless you're some hillbilly who likes guns laying around, they're stored in a closet or safe somewhere. Mine is stored in my bedroom closet. If somebody tries breaking in while I'm in bed, running from the front door up to my bedroom is a shorter distance than me rolling out and getting into my closet. Point is, I'd rather have a handgun in my dresser or something.

     

    Start searching here, it's the Craigslist of weapons/ammo. That's a link to the handgun section for Ohio. When you find something in your price range, post it up here and the gun nuts will give you their 2¢ on it. Get with Mojoe about possibly getting your CCW, or at least some basic familiarization.

     

    Well if you are having second thoughts about shooting someone why even make the thread?

     

    I'd buy a good name brand, not some Chinese made Hi-Point that all the dumbfuck thugs use. I plan on buying a Glock 17 for home defense. Dead nuts reliable and they are chambered in 9mm so ammo will always be around. I wouldn't use anything less than 9mm for home defense, I know a lot of other people will feel differently but that is all preference. Another good one is a Walther PPX, I bought it to carry, but they make excellent nightstand guns as well. 500+ rounds of different manufacturers ammo through it and not a single hiccup. New they are like $500? Used I got mine with maybe 2 magazines through it for $400 OTD.

     

    Whatever you do just don't cheap out on some Chinese junk that shoots .22. If you do, you might as well stick to using the BB gun.

     

    Not true, the .22 round is extremely deadly. Also 10 well placed .22 rds are better than spraying .45 ammo everywhere. No worries about over penetration, on top of that no one likes to be shot. So getting peppered with .22 cal rds will quickly make someones flight instinct kick in.

    Get some training and buy a shotgun. The noise from racking the slide will be enough to make most intruders run the other way. And the ones that don't run are crazy and are there to hurt you or your family. Shotgun does the most damage with the least skill needed. (IMHO). Good luck with whatever you choose.

     

    The racking is the worst thing you can do. Give away your're position in a heart beat. Surprise is the best tactic you have against an intruder.
