let's see what your "HD" weapon(s) are.

[bottomuvthamap]

here's the 2 that I keep inside for home defense.......the xd is also my primary range gun. this should be all i ever need my entire life .....no matter where i live (house/apartment/etc).









now let's see what you got. i want someone to persuade me differently or maybe broaden my horizon.....so i showed you mine now you show me yours

 

[CajunBass]

Whichever one I happened to be carrying that day. I take it off and lay it on the nightstand.

 

[RockyMtnTactical]

Yeah, whichever is closest to me. Usually an AR15 or Glock...

 

[MikePGS]

since i stupidly sold my shotgun a few months back, this is basically what i have for HD purposes atm


Scary, huh?

 

[MinnMooney]

to 'MikePGS' :
I believe that dressing up your dogs in silly costumes is (or should be) against the law in 37 states and the Provinces of British Columbia & the Yukon.


.....and to keep with the original post - SA-XD 45 APC with a SureFire attached.

 

[MikePGS]

Those are tactical costumes. Whats more frightening than a Bee and a Devil?
That being said i hope to pick up a Mossberg 500 in the near future probably in 20 gauge, since i've never shot a 12 before and i know that the recoil with a 20 is both nil, and effective.

You're right, a shotgun and a pistol is plenty for HD. The only thing I would recommend differently is a buttstock for the shotgun. I've never used a pistol grip only shotgun but I imagine it must be a lot more difficult to maintain accuracy and recoil control/follow up shots. The advantage of a pistol grip only is increased portability and concealability and that doesn't really help for HD. It seems like it would be more of a disadvantage in your case. Have you practiced much with it at the range? (i.e. set up 5 clay pigeons about 30 feet out in a row with a few feet between them and see how fast you can dust them. I bet it will go faster with a butt-stocked shotgun.)

 

[Hoppy590]

ranges anywhere from a .32, to 30-06

 

[kd7nqb]

Well its easy there are only 2 guns that belong to me, 1. A .40S&W M&P 4in and a Ruger Targetmaster .22lr so the HD gun is the .40s&w all day long and twice on sundays. I have a stinger from work that hangs on my duty belt by my bed.

 

[The Annoyed Man]

Lately, it has been either a 1911-A1 or a H&K USP Compact in .40 S&W. However, after reading THIS THREAD and THIS BLOG, it will be some kind of AR variant as soon as I can afford one.

 

[The Annoyed Man]

To MikePGS, what kind of cracker are you holding to keep their attention like that? Those are pretty focused doggies.

I think its just your standard dog biscuit

 

[MrCleanOK]

My XD45 is on me all the time when I'm not on campus, and I will occasionally keep a 20 ga. pump gun full of buckshot by the bedroom door.

 

[Flintknapper]

This is what we rely on if you can get down our road and past the dogs un-noticed.

The P-13 is mine, the SP-101 is the wifey's...and the Carry 9 is my daughter's.

No.

 

[SHOTGUNJOE]

bottomuvthamap,

Nice pair. I especially like your xd.40. I'm purchasing one here soon in the sub-compact model to be my conceal carry weapon. Comes with 2 mags - one of which is the service extension which I'll use for HD.

My HD is covered with my Winchester 1300 (Defender) 12 ga. pump with 18 1/2" barrel & #4 buckshot. Sorry - no pics.

 

[Rich K]

No. Suffice to say they go bang every time, and hit to point of aim.

 

[1BLINDREF]

If they get past these two



I'll greet them with these

 

[MikePGS]

Your dogs might be more intimidating if you dress them up in scary costumes. Just a tip

Nice looking animals btw.

 

[1BLINDREF]

They're poodles dressed up as Akitas

 

[MikePGS]

:Chuckles: Ahhh i see, then thats ok :Grins:

[Mr White]

DMK, You might end up getting killed while standing there trying to decide which one to use!

Plus, you've got to hold that dog biscuit just so to elicit those terrifying expressions on their faces that you want.

 

[rantingredneck]

The first line of defense involves a couple of weapons chambered in 12ga. After that it becomes .45ACP time. Once again there is more than one option available there.
