A SIG P226 will serve you quite well in the HD role. My own choice for that is a P229R with a SIG STL 900 laser/light module attached to it.
I like the SIG because it is SA/DA. You can chamber a round and, if you like, keep it under your pillow, and feel perfectly safe.
Not sure why...but ...the gun on the night stand concept bothers me because if you are asleep and someone sneaks into your BR, they then have access to the weapon, before you do.
In NY our 'Progressive' gov has forced us law abiding folks to only a 7 rd capacity in a mag.
I'm a huge fan of Sig, but if you relied on a pistol for home defense only the Taurus Judge or similar would be a good choice too. Maybe even alternate 45LC & 410 ga w/00 buck in the cylinder.
Bologna.
Straight up USDA Prime bologna.
And a revolver that shoots 45 LC & .419ga wouldn't be good home defense Why?
So - why is your house even on their radar? Poor personal habits, lousy building security, and quite often some display of ostentatious wealth they personally found offensive. So you are getting robbed - in part - to put you in your place. You don't rob the obviously poor, you rob the notably well off.
Thanks PPS43~~It was so noted in another post before yours. Hey! Glad someone reads these things. Yes, Back to 10 rds mags in NYS.7 round limit was struck down as unconstitutional, it's 10 again.
If you favor the Judge check out the article...
These days, only about 20% of households are two parent families with children. So, that leaves 80% of households with no toys for bad guys to trip over.
And from 2005 to 2010, 1.4 million guns were stolen in household burglaries.
In So FL, the number of break in's, with people home, is on the rise as bad guys feel they can target older people more aggressively.
The concern for leaving a gun out in the open, is no internet myth.
I have a good security system. But I am also very thorough about preparedness and security, since I used to do it for a living.
Thanks
