You use your HK for HD?

[gudel]

do you use your cheap gun because the HK is too nice? So who here use their HK for home defense gun or Which one?
I sometimes switch back and forth between USP45 and USP9, sometimes the P2000. It really makes the gun warm by keeping it under the pillow

HK .40f w/ gold dot JHP

My HK is the only pistol I own in an acceptable defensive caliber. You're darn right I use it as my HD weapon...that's the reason I bought it. It also fills my requirements of being utterly reliable and going BANG everytime I pull the trigger, so I don't have to worry about it letting me down at a critical moment.

 

[Ares45]

He!! yes. Why lock up an ultra reliable proven performer in the safe and trust my life to a POS.

My carry guns are HKs (P7 or USPc40 in .357sig). My nightstand setup is a USP45Tac with MMC adjustable night sights, Vortex flash suppressor, and Surefire UTL + handheld Surefire E2D. If that doesn't get it done then I've got a Benelli M4 12bore as backup. The Benelli gets partial HK credit since it was imported under HK USA and has HK stamped on the receiver. Hows that for trusting your life to HK?

HK USP .45 full size w/ special homemade 230 grain RN lead rounds a little warm of course

I use my P2000sk for CCW and HD (along with other guns too).

 

[10-Ring]

In rotating order, USP 45, USP Expert 45, USP 9 & P7M8 - they all see HD duty Too nice to protect me & mine????

 

[gudel]

well glad I'm not the only one then.

Why lock up an ultra reliable proven performer in the safe and trust my life to a POS

Yes I see your point, some of us value our lives more than a mere couple hundred bucks price difference. Good stuff guys.

stainless 45 compact is my main defense weapon , it goes everywhere with me.i trust it that much!!,or one of my revolvers.(smith pre-locks) i also have a full size usp 45tac but i believe with the laws here it would be BAD to use that for self defense. its considered an assault weapon in a city of more than 100,000 pop.

 

[Black Majik]

Currently HD and CC duties.

USP .45 for HD, P2000 for cc.

 

[Autolycus]

My Mossberg 590 is primarily for home defense. The P2000 will be backing it up and once I am in a free state it will be my carry gun. The P2000sk will be backing that up.

 

[psyopspec]

do you use your cheap gun because the HK is too nice?

Nope. With little exception, guns are for shootin.

Your attorney's fees for both criminal and civil defense will make the loss of your HK seem like pocket change.

 

[Maui19]

My 2000sk is my primary CCW gun. It also plays a well defined role in HD, but it isn't the first option when things go bump in the night.

 

[Bazooka Joe71]

Why, on God's green earth, would you not want to use your most dependable gun if your life depended on it? Can you put a price on you or your loved ones life??? Seems like this shouldn't even be in question.

Your attorney's fees for both criminal and civil defense will make the loss of your HK seem like pocket change.

If you are found innocent, are you still out X amount of dollars in fees for protecting your own life?

 

[pittspilot]

If you are found innocent, are you still out X amount of dollars in fees for protecting your own life?

You betcha!

It's one of the things that prosecutors count on.

 

[Bazooka Joe71]

Unbelievable...

Makes me want to paralize the crack head intruder instead of killing him...If my money is wasted and I have to suffer, make that POS suffer with me!

 

[Handgun Midas]

Your attorney's fees for both criminal and civil defense will make the loss of your HK seem like pocket change.

This isn't untrue, however:

Your encounter could be ruled a good shoot, and quickly, with no need for a lawyer.

Your homeowner's insurance may very well supply a lawyer to defend you in a civil suit for a HD encounter,
because the people suing you are after the money in the policy.

So, you know, best of luck to us all.

 

[pittspilot]

Well, Insurance is another thing entirely.

I carry a million dollar liability policy that costs me next to nothing.

 

[BlkHawk73]

Usually a P7M8 but a P2Ksk has been put into the spot as well. I choose the squeezer becasue of it's ease of use, it's natural meachanics and it's safety. Also very darn accurate. Bought it to use not sit idle on a shelf.
