I usually end up thinking that these are the most important things for a self-defense gun that meets the present rules for self-defense with guns: 1 - A round that puts an end to the attack when you hit the zone with one or two shots. 2 - This round does not exit with enough energy to...

Is #4 buck best for home defense? Or #7 shot? Or what? I've heard that stray 00 will penetrate walls and remain lethal. Also heard about a lady being killed a block down the street with one stray 00 pellet from a police shooting. Have also heard the complaint that if there's a hostage...

What would be a good rule of thumb for the Maximum Overall Length of an indoor home defense rifle or shotgun? Thanks. 44

I read somewhere about a policeman who deliberately locks up his handgun and gets out his shotgun when he gets home. His purpose is to dedicate himself to home defense with ONLY the shotgun so he will never launch deadly stray bullets through the walls. I suppose he uses a shot that poses...

It's during discussions about best Home Defense rifles that I end up reconsidering a longslide semiauto pistol with a light mounted on it, with a beam that hits where the gun does - because after I think I've imagined the best rifle, I always wonder if I'd be better off proficient with a handgun...

My experience with S&W in the last few years: 442 J-frame..............had to go back for cylinder release repair. 629 44mag...............had to go back for trigger repair. 629 Mountain Gun....had to go back for trigger repair, sloppy cylinder, front sight coming loose, action locking...

Hello 444 -- I'm thinking about hunting guns, or home defense. Handguns or rifles. I just thought maybe there might be some simple device that is not a silencer, but something that would save your eardrums if you had to shoot without ear protection. I handload several calibers, rifle and...

What are the legal things that can be done to a gun to reduce the effect of blast on the eardrums? Thanks. 44

What are the legal methods of reducing the noise of muzzle blast? I mean the reduction of its effect on the eardrums. What are the legal things that can be done to the gun? Thanks. 44

I've tested several rust prevention compounds in my business. So far, I consider the following 3 to be the best, and about equal: (1) RIG +P Stainless Lube. (2) Johnson's Paste Wax - the ordinary amber-colored wax in the big can. (3) Hoppe's Gun Grease - made for gun storage. RIG rust...

I found this comparison searching...Ruger PC 9 weight...on Google: 9mm Colt Commander (4 1/2" barrel) vs Marlin Camp Carbine (16 1/2" barrel) Load........Commander....Carbine.....Difference CCI 115 gr. JHP...1175 fps...1318 fps .....+143 fps 124 gr. JHP...1098 fps...1292 fps...

I left out the 223 because of blast, and the 30 Carbine because of over-penetration. I have both of them. Right now my main choice would be the various 9mm +P and +P+ 115gr and 124gr rounds. They benefit from the carbine 16" length, and most of the bullets really flatten out at carbine...

DHart - I have the same problem to solve because I picked the 44mag Trapper, as I guess you did too. I can use it on the trail, and maybe at home too, if I can find the right ammo. Let me take a look at your list. Thanks. 44

A lot of this has already been mentioned, but if a civilian wants to use a rifle for self defense within the existing self defense rules (probably well inside 25 yards) seems like the pistol cartridge carbine might almost be the only one he should consider. Compared to battle rifles they can...

I think the Winchester 44mag 210gr Silvertip factory ammo is loaded to about 1300 fps at the muzzle of a 4" gun. Marshall and Sanow rate it at about 93%. It should be easy to load this bullet for a carbine so it will have this same power at 50 yards, for example. Or 100. Winchester sells these...

RUGER PC9 Thanks for all the input. I guess I better get busy and try a PC9. I use the Federal 9BPLE +P+ ammo in Glocks, and it's a really good round for carbines. I have some other caliber carbines but they all have excess noise or excess penetration. I got intrested in the PC9 because...

I'm thinking about getting a Ruger PC9. What are the latest opinions on the Ruger PC's? Thanks. 44

There are a few bad Republicans. But that's no excuse for a gun owner to vote for the Democrats. Only Democrats can save our gun rights. 44 ------------------------------------

What I mean is that it's up to Demo gun owners whether gun control goes any farther, or is finally dropped from the Demo party's platform once and for all. Demo gun owners need to vote a straight Republican ticket until their leaders get the message. This is the only thing that will work...
