run what ya brung, i guess. if its all i had, and it had a banana.hi cap mag in it, i doubt the intruders gonna keep asking for more after you've peppered him, lets face it.
I'm curious about the suggestion to shoot from the hip. In my experience, one can shoot far more accurately and about as fast from the shoulder, using the front sight tower only (or even a shoulder point).

I think a few people have missed the point. The poster didn't write that one should fire from the hip in a HD situation. He was merely pointing out how much easier it is to put rounds on target from a non-ideal position with a carbine rather than a pistol. If you know that you will always be able to assume the proper stance, then this is irrelevant. If not, then ease of putting rounds on target in non-textbook stances is something to consider.Not just as fast, show me the guy who can shoot either or even better both more accurately and faster from the hip as compared to the shoulder.
Can't be done, shoulder is always better in every way.
I would suggest becoming proficient with one pistol and using it as the sole "bedstand gun" unless the controls and handling characteristics are the same with all that you use.
Speaking of which, a magnum load of No. 1 buck can deliver 24 pellets of .30cal that are in the neighborhood of the energy of a .22lr...so it is effectively a 25rnd magazine in one shell.An AR has a 30 round magazine too, that could be unloaded quite quickly with a whole lot more stopping power. This doesn't even take into account various other rifle platforms, or even shotguns.
Do you completely disassemble and clean them? I have two 10/22s that NEVER jam. Never! But, I always thoroughly clean them every time I shoot them. I do the same with all my guns and very seldon ever get a jam or stovepipe or anything else.I have two 10/22 carbines, and they're the jammingest little bastards I've ever owned.
