Since you've only got 2 hands, you have more than you need!

Just purchased yesterday at gun show for $169 -- probably will not have chance to shoot until May or June. Will try to give update then. There are PLENTY of videos on YouTube that convinced me...looks like those guys are having fun. I purchased "Silver Bear" 94gr. zinc plated ammo for $11/50rds. The "Brown Bear version are lacquer-case which I was told not to get because the coating risks melting and sticking in weapon.

If you're really on a tight budget - how about a water pistol filled with ammonia? Shoot 'em right in the face and they are absolutely <fill in your own expletive>

Nothing wrong with "value" guns... not to be confused with "cheap" junk guns. All you need to add is a pump-action 12ga and you will have the whole enchilada.

An alarm system is a good addition
Pa-63 is a pretty good little pistol except for the first DA pull. Best $100 I ever spent on a single firearm.
home defence . on a budget. .. shotgun. 12g. 00 buck .. you can get a used mossberg 500 , rem 870. or some of the cheap double coach guns. look around for a cheap 18 in barrel for the pump guns. i paid 50 bucks for the one on my mossberg. there realy is no better home defence weapon. my handguns are a backup gun for home defence. for me it is the 500 .. 18.5 barrel. 5 rounds of 00 buck. and my 1911 with 7 rounds of hydroshocks. . the shot gun is on my side the bed. and the 1911 is on my wifes. . and yes she knows how to use it. .

I agree with the shotgun for home defense, with one caveat. How is your dwelling constructed? If it's like my smallish townhouse, the rooms are somewhat small and the corners are tight. I wouldn't use a shotgun if you have something similar layout wise. Otherwise, go fer it!
I used to think rossi was a good gun until a guy I know had a dud.
Im sure they are not all bad, He had what looks like the top left pistol in your collection. shooting .38spl +p factory ammo, after 6 rds the hammer was stuck back and would not move. he emptyed the brass, then worked the hammer until it worked and dry fired it 20 times to make sure it would work...
put 6 more in, and the 3rd shot the rear sights vaporized and the hammer was stuck again... this time for good.
He bought it New at a gunshow. I checked it out befor this happened, I thought it had good feel to it, but wouldent want to shoot .357 from it.
He mailed it back to rossi ($35 fedex) and they fixed it and returned it in 45days....
Im not knocking your piece, It just something to look out for. I would put a few hundered rounds down the tube just to be safe. I guess his had a burr somewere and something was wrong with the hammer...

i like the vote for a dog. any dog with a good guarding instinct, even a little dog, will warn you when someone is breaking in long before they ever get in. get a big enough dog and they can help you with the fight too.
i have a foofy little dog, but there is no damn way anyone is getting in without him alerting me in advance. NOBODY is getting in and up the stairs to my bedroom without me having at least a few seconds warning. that's enough time for me to grab my sig of the night stand and rack the slide. said intruder can then enjoy some hydrashock bullets to the torso.

My dog is worthless. He will bark at other dogs when he's oputside, but that's it.
Someone had a thread a month or so ago in autoloaders on a trigger/action job they did to their PA-63 that they said made some huge improvements to the trigger and general feel of it. Search it, from what I remember it was a pretty simple procedure that only required some polishing and new springs from Wolff.

NG, you have a worthless dog then Get one that isn't worthless. Or get a sophisticated alarm system to warn you if anyone breaks in.

It's just a photo I found on the web. I would have prefered he used a steak knife though for the bayonet. That skinner looks too expensive.
