home defense

Both of these are supressed. Both are firing 145-150 grain projectiles. Both are subsonic. Both are AR platform PCC or SBR configurations. Bottom line, AR platform, short barrels (let's say equal lengths +/- 1"). Both have the same lights affixed. Both weigh roughly the same unloaded within...

Eight high speed types who for all intents and purposes, were arguably issued the same type of weapons, and yet all eight had eight different answers. It really is subjective and situation dependent, and not the narrative that it has to be this gun in this length with this caliber.

I need advice. I'm mostly a handgun person (2020 Colt Python 6", Nighthawk Classic 1911, Beretta LTT Elite, etc). Heck, I even have a little Puma Bounty Hunter 1892 Mares Leg lever action in 44 Magnum! However, I feel that I probably could use a higher capacity, semi-automatic rifle or carbine...

Hey all, I’m currently in the market for a home defense shotgun. I would like for it to be a reliable semi auto in 12 gauge of course. I was thinking just a base model of the mossberg 930. Heard they were pretty reliable for the price. I also want to be able to have the option to put it in...

Greetings All, Need a suppressed compact carbine for home defense...ideally under $2K total. After some research and thought - I think the Kel Tec Sub CQB may be the best option? https://www.keltecweapons.com/firearms/rifles/sub2000-cqb/ I was originally leaning toward picking up a Glock 17...

I can't find many reviews on this ammo. Anyone have any experience or heard anything? Looks super duper HOT!! But, I've learned the hard way...everything hot ain't good for you! A friend of mine says he reloads according to their specs and loves the results. http://atomicammunition.com/

Hello everyone, I made this post a while back on Mossberg’s Reddit, and I thought it might be worth posting this information here. I’ve cleaned it up a bit to be better formatted for this site. While this was centered around Mossberg, other shotgun manufacturers tend to have the same lengths...

Hi Last month something terrible happened that has left me thinking. I live n a very peaceful neighborhood that is also considered a prime area of the city. My relative, the subject in question, also lives here. In fact about six streets down. Although this is not his primary residence anymore...

Howdy Usually threads are posted with comparison between calibers or questions about what can you do with certain caliber. My question today is: what you cannot do with a 357 magnum that will require you to go for a bigger caliber? In other words where does the line end for the 357 magnum...

Hello guys & gals... Gents & gentettes! X ) So... I'd like to hear opinions on AR15 setups that would be considered "the most" versatile. A "Do-it-all" AR. Something that could plink, Home Defense, hunt, CQB, etc... So, in order to be able to tackle all of those, I think my main concerns would...

I'm know it's been done to death but I'd like to hear different opinions on this issue. Which would you prefer as your HD go to? Trying to decide what's best in an approx 1500 sq ft home that's in a highly populated area.

hello, I have been looking around for a good home defense shotgun for a while now. The Mossberg 500/590 series is looking like the best option for me right now becomes of price and the ability to change configurations easily with the 500 flex. I have never owned a shotgun before (i have several...

It seems like a suppressable .45acp carbine/AR pistol would be a good Home Defense setup. (If you have better suggestions, please feel free to shoot em at me.) (Pun intended) ; ) I really love the idea of versatility; so for me, the perfect thing would seem to be something like a pistol...

Instead of learning world history calculus and graduating from pharmacy school. I wish I was taking courses on handguns, origins , ammunition’s , tactical gear etc. Feels like a making of Harry Potter movie. But seriously I’m a newbie or dare I say a 22lr’e ( I only say that because everything I...

Hello, I have a black powder revolver for home defense. Why such outdated technology? Because I live in France and that's the only thing I can legally have without having a shooting or hunting licence and having to register it. France is getting more and more insecure and I don't see why I...

A couple weeks ago, I decided to start planning for my next AR build, which I decided would be an 18" DMR type rifle. While researching that build, I stumbled across some info on 300 Blackout, and started daydreaming about having an SBR. Long story short, I started thinking a 9" 300 Blackout...

Hey folks- Here's where I'm at. I'm assembling a .300 AAC home defense pistol. It's a 10.5 inch Radical Firearms upper with a stock A2 birdcage flash suppressor. What I want to do is put on a muzzle device that will reduce the report/ flash of the pistol, so it's not as loud and bright...

Here is one way to do it. http://homeguntraining.wordpress.com/2014/09/19/the-home-carry-kit-made-easy/

I've got a question regarding home defense shotguns. How do you store yours so it's loaded and ready if needed but inaccessible and safe from nosy guests, kids, etc.? I seem to remember seeing something once where it was a wall-mounted device that locked around the shotgun receiver and...
